It is our understanding that the soil, when utilized in conjunction with SC-800 asphalt mix at a predetermined rate, will result in a product which would substantially meet industry standards for virgin products of this type. We therefore would have no objections to use of the material as outlined in the Edwards Air Force Base letter to you dated February 6, 1990. Should you or others involved with the project have further questions, please feel free to contact me at the above telephone number. Chris Burger, R'E'H'S'~ Environmental Health Specialist IV Hazardous Materials Management Program CB:jrw (boll.oil) February 14, 1990 Mr. Chris Berger Department of Environmental Health Services 2700 'M' Street Bakersfield, CA 93301 Dear Mr. Berger: Ail American Pipeline Company has developed a proposal for using oil contaminated desert soil as road surfacing material on Edwards Air Force Base. This proposal stems from an accidental release of crude oil at our station facility near Hinkley, California in San Bernardino County. After numerous attempts to find an alternative to hauling this material to distant locations, we.finally secured an agreement from the Air Force Base to use the material in an environmentally safe manner for road surfacing on the base. We have had the material tested for suitability as road surfacing material. It has a very high stability and meets San Bernardino County road standards when mixed with SC800 asphalt. Both the San Bernardino County ~Environmental Health Department and the Lahontan Water Quality Control District have recorded agreement with its use in this manner. Laboratory analysis of the existing material and after mixing it with the asphalt material resulted in significant reductions in the soluble fractions of the crude oil composition. I have enclosed copies of the relevant data and correspondence for your review. Ail American Pipeline Company requests your consideration and concurrence in the cooperative effort being developed by 5,5(X) Ming Avenue, Suite 300 · Bakersfield, Callfomla 93309 · (805) 398-5300 Mr. Chris erg=r February 14, 1990 Page 2 us and the Air Force and providing a letter to that As you notice, the Air Force has conditioned the with evidence of concurrence by regulatory agencies.

OeFEB 1990 Dear Mr Boll In response to your request to Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB) to investigate our potential and capability to utilize the approximately 5000 cubic yards of crude oil cont~ntnated soil caused from the pipeline leak adjacent to Hawes Radio Station west of HinKley, we have determined that we can utilize your contaminated soil as a material for asphalt mix in road paving projects on base. It is our understandin~ that the material must be utilized in conjunction with only SC-800 asphalt mix for surfacin~ roads. Edwards AFB agrees to accept the soil subject to satisfactory completion of all of the followir~ measures prior to your transport of any material onto the base property: a. Delivery of material to the' Astronautics Lab vicinity must be no Sooner than the March - April 1990 time frame so that warmer temperatures will allow us to quickly utilize the material in pavtn~ projects. b. The material will be delivered and windrowed alon~ several specified roads in agreed upon quantities to meet our road pavin~ needs in the area. c. All American Pipeline Company must provide to EAFB copies of all laboratory results pertainin~ to the contaminated soil alon~ with copies of appropriate regulatory agency concurrences with the proposal to utilize the contaminated soil for road pavin~ projects at the Air Force Astronautics Lab prior to delivery of any such soils. d. Specific arrangements for schedulin~, access, points of delivery and windrow locations will be formalized through the execution of a Standard Form 44 between EAFB and All American'Pipeline Company. Should these procedures be acceptable to you, please respond in writing conftrmin~ your agree~nent in principle with our proposal. We can then begin developin~ a formal agreement throu&h the Standard Form 44 to accept your material this sprin~.

This use is to be managed in an environmentally sound manner. However, the Regional water quality control board having jurisdiction over the locations where the material is to be used may have additional requirements for it's use.

CRUDE OIL RELEASE FROM TWELVE GAUGE STATION, HINKLEY, SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY Dear Mr. Boll: This is to follow-up our meeting of October 17, 1989, at which you proposed use of contaminated soil as a material for an asphalt mix. Currently, approximately 5,000 cubic yards of cmltaminated soil originating from the crude oil pipeline release occurring on or about October September 16, 1989, is stockpiled at the release site near Hinkley. You propose to transport the material to the San Bernardino County Roads Department. The soil would be mixed with SC 800 in a cold process for application to roads as paving material. Based on samples.and analytical data submitted and information supplied regarding the mixing process, we have no objections to your proposed use for the contaminated soil provided the conditions listed below are followed. The contaminated soil is only that soil originating from the above-referenced crude oil release and is as described to us and characterized in your.proposal.. The contaminated soil is transported and otherwise managed in an environmentally save manner. The material is mixed and applied according to standard industry practice and the asphalt mix meets.all Caltrans and other applicable criteria. You should be aware that this does not constitute a release from further investigation at the release site or future liability which may occur as a result of the crude oil release. Any operations conducted as part of this project shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws. We encourage reuse of contaminated material when complying with with environmental guidelines and as such support your proposal. If you have any questions or comments regarding the above matter, please contact Cindi Mitton or Ken Carter in our Victorville office at (619) 241-6583. Sincerely, Hisam A.
