BACKGROUND
2. t Dry Well History
The dry well was used for disposal of waste water generated during the routine cleaning
of trucks and vans. No known repairs or spills have been performed and/or occurred
around the dry well.
2.2 Preliminary Site Assessment
On February 46, 4994, an AEC engineer collected a water and sludge samples from the
clarifier located at the UPS Facility, Bakersfield, California. The samples were collected
using a stainless steel bailer that had been previously washed in an Alconox solution,
rinsed with tap water, followed by a distilled water rinse. The rinseate was transferred from
the bailer to 4 liter amber jars and 40 milliliter VOA vials. The water sample was analyzed
for total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline and diesel, CAM 47 Metals using CA DHS
and EPA 8260, 448.4, and Title 22 Metals methodology, respectively. No other
environmental work has been performed at this site.
The water analyses were performed by BC Laboratories, Inc. of Bakersfield, CA. The
analytical results of the water samples collected from the clarifier are presented in Table
4 ~hru 3. Units are in micrograms per Liter [l~g/L], which are equivalent to parts per billion
[ppb]. Based on the analytical results the County is requiring that a site assessment be
performed to evaluate the vertical extent of hydrocarbon-impacted soil.

3.0 SITE CHARACTERISTICS
The following sections summarize the project site features and conditions along with regional and
local geological and hydrological characteristics.
3. t Site Description
The UPS facility is located on the north side of Orin Way east of Pierce Road. The general
area is comprised of oilfield and industrial related service industries. The facility is at an
average elevation of 4[]0-feet above mean sea level with minimal topographic relief.
3..2 Regional Geology
The subject property is located in the Southern San Joaquin Valley [Valley] which is a part
of the Central Valley of California. The Valley forms the southern two-thirds of the Central
Valley and is characterized as a broad structural trough. It is bordered on the east by the
Sierra Nevada Range and on the west by the Coast Range [Diablo and Temblor
Mountains], The Valley extends 250-miles southeastward from the confluence of the San
Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers to the Tehachapi and San Emigdio Mountains, The width
ranges from 25-miles wide near the Kern River to approximately 55-miles wide near the
Kings River, with an approximate average width of 40-miles.

FAX S05/831-1771
Site Assessment Work Plan
Advanced Environmental Concepts, Inc.
Geology of the southern Valley consists of a Pre-Tertiary basement complex overlain by
marine and non-marine sedimentary rocks of Tertiary age. These rocks are composed of
consolidated sandstones, siltstones and shales which thicken from northeast to southwest.
The Valley was once an inland sea of comparatively shallow depth that continued to
subside due to the ever increasing load of sediments transported and deposited from
higher elevations. These deposits consist of gravels, sands, silts and clays. The majority
of the groundwater pumped from the Valley floor occurs within these relatively
unconsolidated continental deposits.
3.3 Local Geology
The investigated property~ is located on alluvial deposits, created from sediments
transported and deposited by local streams, and during flood stages of the Kern River.
The site is situated in a Iow to moderate energy flood plain environment consisting of
weakly consolidated to unconsolidated, poorly bedded sands and silts.
3.4 I-lydrogeology
Ground and surface water in the north Bakersfield area is regulated by the Kern County
Water Agency Improvement District. According to the Kern County Water Agency "Water
Supply Report-1990", depth to groundwater in unconfined and equivalent wells is
estimated at 60-feet below grade level [BGL] at the site. No perched water-bearing
zones are identified. Groundwater quality is unknown at this time.
4.0 WORK PLAN
Advanced Environmental Concepts, Inc. proposes four [4] soil borings to evaluate the potential
for hydrocarbon migration in the vicinity of the clarifier/drywell systems.
4. I Boring Localions and Depths
AEC plans to advance four [4) borings at the locations shown in Appendix A, Figure 2.
Boring B-I will be located within one foot from the edge of the southern drywell and
advanced to a minimum depth of 20 feet below grade level, or until 10 consecutive feet
of "clean" soil is encountered. This boring location will generate the highest
concentrations of hydrocarbons in subsurface soils, should they exist. B-2 will be placed
adjacent to the entrance port to the clarifier and B-3 will be located next to the exit port
of the clarifier. B-4 will be drilled adjacent to the western drywell.

5.0 METHODS
The mefhods to be employed during implemenlation of the above scope of ,work are described
in the following sections.
5. t Boring Methods
The boring(s] will be advanced using a Mobile B-6~ Drill Rig, with 7-inch diameter,
continuous-flight auger in accordance with ASTM Method D 4452-80 for soil investigations
and sampling by auger borings.. At no time shall any water or other fluid be added to the
boring. The augers will be steam cleaned prior to drilling the boring. The lithology and
Other pertinent data will be recorded on a field boring Icg in accordance with ASTM
Method D 2488-84 for visual description and identification of soils.
Cuttings from the borings will be placed in appropriate 55-gallon containers or on sheets
of plastic and covered until verified by analytical results, whether or not the soil is
contaminated. If the material is contaminated, a written plan will be submitted by the
facility operator to the County for approval prior to treatment and/or disposal. Disposal
will be the responsibility of the facility operator and must take place within 90 days of the
completion of drilling operations.
5.2 Soil Sampling
Soil samples will be collected through the auger in 2-inch diameter by 6-inch long brass
sleeves driven in a split-spoon sampler by a ~40-pound hammer with a 30-inch drop. This
is in accordance with ASTM Methods D ~ 586-84 for split-barrel sampling af soil and D 'I 587-
83 for thin-walled tube sampling of soils. The brass sleeves and sampler will be washed
in an Alconox solution and double-rinsed in clean, de-ionized water prior to each use.
Soil samples will be driven at 5-foot intervals in each boring in order to provide baseline
data and confirm prior laboratory results. The total depth of borings will extend to ~ 0 feet
below the last detected indication of contamination. The blow counts, recovery, and
lithology will be recorded on the field logs. Lithology will be described in accordance with
ASTM Method D 2488-84 [Standard Practice for Description and Identification of Soils].
Selected soil samples will be sealed with Teflon tape, capped, sealed with duct tape, and
labeled in accordance with EPA protocols. The samples will be recorded on a Chain-of-
Custody document, placed in a cooler with frozen Blue Ice, and transported to a California
Certified Laboratory under Chain-of-Custody protocol.
5.3 Field Screening of Soil Samples
Soil samples will be collected using three (3) 2 x 6-inch brass tubes installed inside a split-
spoon sampler. The middle sample tube will be immediately capped, sealed, labelled,
and stored in an ice chest containing Blue Ice. The bottom tube will be used for lithologic

the PID will be collected and documented on the boring log.
5.4 Soil Analyses
The soil samples will be submitted to Associated Laboratory, Inc. in Orange, a California-
Certified Laboratory and analyzed for CAM 47 Metals, TPH-d, and TRPH [4~8.~] using CA
DHS and EPA methodologies. If the results from the initial' boring indicate elevated
concentrations of hydrocarbons, the County may require additional soil borings to better
evaluate the lateral dispersion.

Introduction:
A Site Safety Plan (SSP) has been designed to address safety provisions needed during the site soil
assessment/remediation. Its purpose is to provide established procedures to protect all on-site
personnel from direct skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion of potentially hazardous materials that
may be encountered at the site. The SSP establishes personnel responsibilities, personal
protective equipment standards, decontamination procedures and emergency action plans.
Advanced Environmental Concepts, Inc. seeks to enter the property described above for the
purpose of conducting a site assessment. The work will consist of hollow-stem augering and soil
sampling in order to remove hydrocarbon-impacted soil.
Undisturbed soil samples will be collected to assess the extent of hydrocarban impacted soil at
the subject site. Each sample to be chemically analyzed will be collected in a brass sleeve,
capped with lined plastic lids, sealed with tape, and immediately stored in a cooler with frozen
Blue Ice immediately. All Chain-of-Custody protocol will be followed.
Drilling equipment will be brought to the site and operated by:
Melton Drilling Company
7'10'1 Downing Avenue
Bakersfield, California
Contractor's License · C57-508270
This SSP describes the means for protecting all on-site personnel from deleterious contamination
of personal injury while conducting on-site activities. As described below, we will strive to meet
all requirements promulgated by the California Department of Health Services.
Responsibilities of Key Personnel:
All personnel on-site will have assigned responsibilities. Mr. David Palmer will serve as Project
Manager and on-site geologist. He will also serve as Site Safety Officer [SSO]. As SSO, Mr. Palmer
will assure that on-site personnel have received a copy of the SSP. Personnel will be required to
document their full understanding of the SSP before admission to the site. Compliance with the
SSP will be monitored at all times by the SSO. Appropriate personal protective equipment, listed
below, will be available and utilized by all on-site personnel. Prior to beginning work, the SSO will
Project: AEC 93V-t289 I
Health and Safely Plan
Advanced Environmental Concepts, Inc.
conduct a training session to assure that all are aware of safe work practices. In the training
session, personnel will be made aware of hazards at the site.
Mr. Palmer will also be responsible for keeping field notes, collecting and securing samples, and
assuring sample integrity by adherence to Chain-of-Custody protocol.
All on-site employees will take reasonable precautions to avoid unforeseen hazards. After
documenting their understanding of the SSP, each on-site employee will be responsible for strict
adherence to all points contained herein. Any deviation observed will be reported to the SSO
and corrected. On-site employees are held responsible for performing only those tasks for which
they believe they are qualified. Provisions of this SSP are mandatory and personnel associated
with on-site activities will adhere strictly hereto.
Job Hazard Analyses:
Hazards likely to be encountered on-site include those commonly encountered when operating
any mechanical equipment, such as the danger of falling objects or moving machinery. Simple
precautions will reduce or eliminate risks associated with operating such equipment.
A drilling contractor has been employed to deliver and operate all drilling equipment. Qualified
personnel only will have any contact with this equipment. All on-site personnel, including the
excavation contractor and his employees, are required to wear hard hats when in close proximity
to excavating equipment. Latex sampling gloves will be worn by persons collecting or handling
samples to prevent exposure to contaminants. Gloves will be changed between samples and
used ones discarded, to avoid cross-contamination. Proper respiratory equipment will be worn
if vapor contamination levels on-site exceed action levels as determined using a Photoionization
Detector [PID]. Action levels requiring 'respiratory apparatus will be 10-ppm above background
level in the breathing zone. Furthermore, no on-site smoking, open flames or sparks will be
permitted in order to prevent accidental ignition.
Risk Assessment Summary:
Exposure to chemicals anticipated on-site include gasoline, diesel, and benzene, toluene, and
xylene (BTX]. These chemicals represent a hazard because they are moderately to extremely toxic
and most are highly flammable.
Threshold Limit Values (TLV's), Shod Term Exposure Limits (STEL's) and Toxicity levels [LD50, oral-rat],
all in rog/kg [ppm], are listed below:
Compound TLV STEL Toxicity
Gasoline 200 300 ....
Diesel 50 75 ....
Benzene t0 25 4894
Toluene I00 t50 5000
Xylene 100 t50 4300
ProJecl: AEC 93V-t289
2
Health and Safely Plan
Advanced Environmental Concepts, Inc.
Benzene is considered an extreme cancer hazard.
Exposure Monitoring! Plan:
A PID will be used to monitor vapor concentrations around the site. Should concentrations exceed
TLV's, protective measures will be taken. Passive dosimeter badges will be placed in downwind
locations if PID readings indicate high levels of volatile organics in the breathing space.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Personnel on-site will have access to respirators with organic vapor cartridges. Replacement
cartridges will be available on-site as needed. When handling samples, the on-site Geologist will
wear latex gloves. Hard hats will be worn by all personnel on-site when in proximity of drilling
equipment.
Work Zones and Securily Measures:
Access to the site will be restricted to authorized personnel. A set of cones, placards, or wide
yellow tape surrounding the site will define the perimeter, if needed. The Project Manager will be
responsible for site security.
Decontamination Measures:
Avoidance of contamination whenever possible is the best method for protection. Common sense
dictates that on-site personnel avoid sitting, leaning or placing equipment on possible
contaminated soil. All personnel will be advised to wash their hands, neck and face with soap
and water before taking a break or leaving the site. Respirators will be washed with soap and
water following each day's use.
Drilling and sampling equipment used will be decontaminated by steam-cleaning. Sampling
equipment will be decontaminated before each sample is collected.
General Safe Work Practices:
On-site personnel will be briefed each day in "tailgate" meetings as to the day's goals and
equipment to be used. Anticipated contaminants and emergency procedures will be reviewed.
Appropriate personal protective equipment will be put on and verified correct by the SSO,
including respirator fit.
Project: AEC 93V-t289 3
Health and Safety Plan
Advanced Environmental Concepts, Inc.
Drilling and sampling equipment will be steam-cleaned before arriving on-site. Split-spoon
sampling equipment will be cleaned before each use. Augers will be steam-cleaned between
borings.
The on-site engineer will oversee operations and log borings. The Sample Coordinator will assure
that proper protocol is used at all times in collecting and handling samples.
Trainin~ Requirements:
The SSO will conduct a "tailgate" training session before work begins which will include
contaminant properties, warning signs, health hazard data, risk from exposure and emergency
first aid. All chemicals are to be covered and the SSO will assure that everyone fully understands
site hazards.
Medical Surveillance Pro~lram:
According to CFR 29, t940.120, Paragraph (f), employees who wear respirators thirty [30] days
or more during one [I) year or who have been exposed to hazardous substances or health
hazards above established permissible exposure limits are required to be monitored medically.
All site personnel are required to have had a complete physical [including blood chemistry] within
the past year.
Record KeeDina:
Documentation will be kept on personnel exposed to contaminant hazards on the job site
according to OSHA regulations. These will include documentation that employees have received
training on the SSP, respiratory protection, MSDS forms and all emergency procedures. These will
be reviewed during the pre-work training meeting.
Exposure records on each job will be kept for thirty [30] years to meet requirements. Included will
be names and social security numbers of employees, medical evaluations, on-the-job logs from
entry to exit, First Aid administered, visits on-site by outside persons and personal air-monitoring
records.F
Confin~lency Plans:
In the event of an accident, injury, or other emergency, the Project Director, Senior Project
Manager, or other person, will notify the appropriate government agencies or individuals as
