Mr. Morales:
This Site Characterization Report (Report) and Closure Plan is submitted by Soils Engineering,
Inc. (SEI) following the completion of field activities and the receipt of analytical test results at
the former hazardous waste storage area of Schwebel Petroleum Company Bulk Plant located at
900 Sacramento Street in Bakersfield, CA. (site). SEI advanced 1 soil boring to a depth of 40
feet in the area of the former 550-gallon hazardous waste oil underground storage tank (UST) to
collect soil samples for chemical analysis. The environmental investigation was conducted in
accordance with a Site Characterization Workplan (Workplan) dated July 22, 1999 prepared by
SEI and approved by the Bakersfield Fire Department Office of Environmental Services (BFDES)
and the Department Of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC).
BACKGROUND
On August 4, 1998 BC Enterprises (BCE) removed one (1) 550-gallon waste oil UST and on
May 7, 1999 BCE removed six (6) 6,000 gallon UST's. Elevated petroleum hydrocarbons were
detected in soil samples collected beneath the waste oil UST and beneath the product pipeline
extending from the 6 UST's to the northern and eastern dispensers and at the eastern end of the
east-central tank (sample TK-3). The UST's evidently contained motor oils, gasoline, diesel, and
mineral spirits over the period of operation. The BFDES requested additional site
characterizations be conducted beneath the former waste oil UST and the former 6,000 gallon
UST's to determine the lateral and vertical extent of the petroleum release. The DTSC has
requested a closure plan be prepared for the hazardous waste storage area.
I
A separate Site Characterization Report has been prepared by SEI for the 6 fuel UST's dated
October 28, 1999.

SCOPE OF WORK CONDUCTED
Drilling of Soil Boring BI to 40'
SEI utilized an SEI owned and operated Hollow-stem auger drill rig to advance 1 soil boring to a
depth of 40 feet below ground surface (bgs) at the former hazardous waste oil UST location.
Five additional soil borings were advanced in the area of the former fuel UST's as shown on the
attached Plot Plan (Plate 2). A California registered geologist supervised the drilling process.
Soil boring B-1 was initially advanced to a depth of 20' bgs. on September 1, 1999. On
September 24, 1999 the boring was advanced an additional 20' to a depth of 40' bgs.. Soil
samples were collected at 5 to 10 foot intervals and evaluated in the field for petroleum
hydrocarbons (staining and odor), soil type and photo-ionization detector (PID) readings. A soil
sample from each sampling interval was sealed, labeled and placed in an iced cooler. See Plate 2
for soil boring locations.
The augers were steamcleaned between borings and the sampling equipment decontaminated
between sampling intervals to prevent cross-contamination.
The soil borings were backfilled with neat cement. The soil cuttings were stockpiled in a roll-off
bin and covered by plastic sheeting. A composite soil sample (ROB-1) was collected from the
stockpiled cuttings and analyzed for profiling purposes prior to disposal/recycling activities.
Analytical Testing
Selected soil samples from the soil boring were analyzed for Total Recoverable Petroleum
Hydrocarbons (TRPH), Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHg), Total Petroleum
Hydrocarbons as diesel (TPHd), and for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes
(BTEX), and MTBE at a State certified analytical laboratory. In addition soil sample BI-10' was
analyzed for purgeable halocarbons by EPA Method 8010, and CAM 17 Metals. The composite
soil sample ROB-1 from the stockpiled soil was analyzed for volatile organics by EPA Method
8260, TPHg, TPHd, TRPH, BTEX and MTBE, pH and CAM 17 Metals.
FINDINGS
Soil Characteristics
Soil encountered in the soil boring B 1 consisted of fill in the top 5 feet, underlain by silty sand
(SM) and well graded sand (SW) to a depth of approximately 29' bgs.. A Silt (ML) was
encountered from a depth of 29' to a depth of approximately 40 ' bgs..
Petroleum stained soil and odor was encountered in boring B-1 from the surface to approximately
13' bgs.. No petroleum staining or odor was present from approximately 13' to 40' bgs.. The
highest PID reading was recorded in boring B-1 at 5' (1500 parts per million (ppm)) and 10'
(1450 ppm).. PID readings decreased significantly at a depth of 15' bgs. with the highest PID

reading of 30 ppm at 15' bgs. and a low of 3 ppm at a depth of 30'. See attached Boring Log in
Appendix B for more detail.
Analytical Results of Soil Samples
The analytical results of the selected soil samples analyzed from the soil boring B- 1 are presented
on Table 1. The analytical results indicate detectable petroleum hydrocarbons are present from
near surface to approximately 20' bgs.. The highest hydrocarbon concentration reported was
24,400 ppm TPHd at 10'. No benzene concentrations were reported in any of the 5 soil samples
analyzed from boring B-1. No significant MTBE concentrations were reported in any of the soil
samples analyzed. Soil sample B 1-10' had 105 parts per billion (ppb) tetrachloroethene reported.
Metal concentrations were in the normal range for soil sample B 1-10' and for the composite soil
sample ROB-1 from the stockpiled soil cuttings. See attached analytical reports in Appendix A.
Disposal of Soil Cuttings
The soil cuttings in the roll-off bin were disposed of as non-hazardous

waste at SoilRem
CONCLUSIONS
Based on f'teld observations and soil sample analytical results SEI concludes the following:
1) Detectable petroleum hydrocarbons are present in soil from near surface to approximately 20
feet bgs. at soil boring B- 1 in the central area of the former waste oil UST. Below a depth of
13' bgs. the petroleum hydrocarbon staining and odor decrease significantly. The lateral
extent of the petroleum hydrocarbon plume is estimated at less than 15' in diameter. Benzene
concentrations in soil samples were all less than the detection limit (<5 ppb) in the soil
samples.
2) The majority of the petroleum hydrocarbo,n plume is apparently in the diesel fuel range with
some gasoline range constituents reported in the top 10'. The highest TPHd result is 24,400
ppm at 10' and the only TPHg result above detection limits is 615 ppm at 10' in boring B-1.
3) Depth to groundwater in this area as reported by the Kern County Water Agency is
approximately 220' bgs. or approximately 200' below the base of the TPHd plume at B-1. If
the most significant portion of the hydrocarbon plume is removed (top 15') it is highly
unlikely that the remaining residual hydrocarbons will be a threat to the groundwater beneath
the site or to on-site workers.
4) The nearest public drinking water well (currently inactive) is over 500' north (upgradient) of
the site and is not threatened by this plume.

CLOSURE PLAN
The following is a Closure Plan for the permanent closure of the hazardous waste storage area.
Introduction
The 550-gallon hazardous waste oil UST and drum storage area were removed in August, 1998
from the site. The UST was properly decontaminated with the resulting rinsate disposed of as
Non-RCRA hazardous waste at an approved facility. After decontamination the UST was
removed and disposed/recycled at an approved facility. Soil samples collected beneath the former
waste oil UST indicated elevated petroleum hydrocarbons were present beneath the former UST
location.
Site characterization activities conducted during this investigation indicate that detectable
petroleum hydrocarbons extend to a depth of approximately 20' bgs. with an estimated lateral
extent of approximately 15'.
Excavation of Petroleum Hydrocarbon Plume
Detectable petroleum hydrocarbons extend to a depth of approximately 20 feet bgs. beneath the
former hazardous waste oil UST. Since the top 13' of soil is significantly stained and contains the
highest concentrations of TPHd and TPHg an excavation to a depth of 15' bgs. with a diameter of
approximately 15' in the area of the former hazardous waste oil UST is recommended. A
backhoe or excavator should be utilized to remove an estimated 125 cubic yards (190 tons) of
petroleum hydrocarbon impacted soil. The sidewalls of the excavation should be sloped to
ensure adequate stability of the excavation during removal activities. The area should be fenced
to prevent unauthorized entry during excavation activities. Once the majority of the petroleum
hydrocarbon plume is removed with no significant staining or odor remaining, bottom and
sidewall samples should be collected to evaluate the remaining petroleum hydrocarbons within the
excavation. The remedial goals proposed for this site will be TPHd less than 5,000 ppm, TPHg
less than 100 ppm, and benzene less than 1 ppm. Soil samples (estimated at 5) will be analyzed
for TPHd, TPHg, and BTEX & MTBE by an on-site mobile laboratory or on a fast turnaround at
a local laboratory. Once these remedial goals are achieved the excavation will be backfilled and
compacted with clean fill up to match existing grade. An asphalt cap will be placed over the
excavation to prevent water infiltration.
Disposal Of Petroleum Impacted Soil
The removed soil will be placed on and covered with plastic. The soil will be profiled for
recycling/disposal and transported under a non-hazardous manifest to a licensed non-hazardous
waste facility, which accepts the profiled soil.

Reporting
IA Closure Report will be completed describing the field work conducted with analytical results of
soil samples, non-hazardous waste manifests, and conclusions and recommendations for the site.
Estimated cost for this type of excavation is less than $25,000.
I Health & Safety Plan
All employees that will work at the site will have received the Health and Safety training required
I by OSHA for hazardous waste site operations (29 CFR 1910.120). Diesel and fuel
gasoline
constituents are the identified hazardous substances at this site. Highly volatile components, such
as benzene, pose the greatest health hazard. Because of the outdoor location and the intermittent
I operations, not likely that personnel will be exposed to
nature
of
excavation
it
considered
elevated levels of hydrocarb.o,n vapors for any length of time. Under these conditions personnel
will work under "Class D' protection. A PID or FID will be used to monitor ambient
I concentrations of organic vapors. Personnel will have access to air-purifying respirators (APR)
with organic vapor canisters that can be donned if conditions warrant.
I detailed site specific Health and Safety Plan, will be distributed to and adhered to by all
A
contractor personnel, subcontractors, and all site visitors. A "tailgate' safety meeting will be held
i at the site prior to commencing operations during which all site hazards and the Health and Safety
Plan will be reviewed. See attached Health & Safety Plan (Appendix C).

900 Sacramento St.
Bakersfield, Ca.
SECTION 1
FACILITY BACKGROUND
1.1 SITE DESCRIPTION
The Schwebel Petroleum bulk plant is located at the southeast corner of the intersection
of South Union Avenue and Watts Drive in Bakersfield, CA.. The site is a bulk plant for
the storage of petroleum hydrocarbon products such as oils and lubricants. Six (6) six-
thousand gallon underground storage tanks (UST's) were located west of the
aboveground storage tanks, along with a 550 gallon waste oil UST on the western portion
of the site.
1.2 SITE HISTORY
On August 4, 1998 BC Enterprises (BCE) removed one (1) 550-gallon waste oil UST and
on May 7, 1999 BCE removed six (6) 6,000 gallon UST's. Elevated petroleum
hydrocarbons were detected in soil samples collected beneath the waste oil UST and
beneath the product pipeline extending from the 6 UST's to the northern and eastern
dispensers and at the eastern end of the east-central tank (sample TK-3). See attached
Table 1 for analytical results of soil samples collected beneath the UST's, and product
piping which was conducted by Holguin, Fahan & Associates (HFA). See Plate 3 for
sample locations (HFA). The BFDES requested additional site characterizations be
conducted beneath the former waste oil UST and the former 6,000 gallon UST's to
determine the lateral and vertical extent of the petroleum release. In September, 1999 SEI
advanced 6 soil borings at the site collecting soil samples for analytical testing.
Hydrocarbon plumes are present beneath the former waste oil UST to a depth of
approximately 20' and beneath the east-central area of the former fuel UST's between 30'
to 60' bgs..
PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK
Excavation of Hydrocarbon Impacted Soil
Detectable petroleum hydrocarbons extend to a depth of approximately 20 feet bgs.
beneath the former hazardous waste oil UST. Since the top 13' of soil is significantly
stained and contains the highest concentrations of TPHd and TPHg an excavation to a

depth of 15' bgs. with a diameter of approximately 15' in the area of the former hazardous
waste oil UST is recommended. A backhoe or excavator should be utilized to remove an
estimated 125 cubic yards (190 tons) of petroleum hydrocarbon impacted soil. The
sidewalls of the excavation should be sloped to ensure adequate stability of the excavation
during removal activities. The area should be fenced to prevent unauthorized entry during
excavation activities. Once the majority of the petroleum hydrocarbon plume is removed
with no significant staining or odor remaining, bottom and sidewall samples should be
collected to evaluate the remaining petroleum hydrocarbons within the excavation. The
remedial goals proposed for this site will be TPHd less than 5,000 ppm, TPHg less than
100 ppm, and benzene less than 1 ppm. Soil samples (estimated at 5) will be analyzed for
TPHd, TPHg, and BTEX & MTBE by an on-site mobile laboratory or on a fast
turnaround at a local laboratory. Once these remedial goals are achieved the excavation
will be backfdled and compacted with clean fdl up to match existing grade. An asphalt cap
will be placed over the excavation to prevent water infiltration.
Disposal Of Petroleum Impacted Soil
The removed soil will be placed on and covered with plastic. The soil will be profiled for
recycling/disposal and transported under a non-hazardous manifest to a licensed non-
hazardous waste facility, which accepts the profiled soil.
PROJECT SCHEDULE AND WORK PLAN
2.1 PROJECT SCHEDULE
The field activities will follow those outlined in the attached Site Characterization
Workplan. They are scheduled to be completed within one to two working days
followed by a Site Characterization Report describing the findings of the field work.
2.2 WORK PLAN
At least 48 hours prior to conducting the field work, Soils Engineering, Inc. (SEI) will
notify the DTSC & BFDES of the time and date. An estimated 200 tons of hydrocarbon
impacted soil will be removed and disposed of per regulatory requirements. A Closure
Report will be prepared detailing the field work performed, analytical results, plot plans,
with conclusions and recommendations for the site.

such as water spray and/or administrative controls such as reducing site activities that
produce windborne dust.
4.3 DERMAL EXPOSUREHAZARD
Contact of sufficient duration to cause significant absorption of toxic components is
highly unlikely. Repeated daily or prolonged contact over a period of time may
however, lead to absorption through the skin, irritation and dermatitis. For this reason
direct skin contact shall be avoided by wearing protective gloves and clothing. However,
if contact does occur, the exposed areas shall be washed with soap and water and rinsed
thoroughly.
4.3.1
Eye Contact
If eye contact is made with any chemical materials at the site, the
eye shall be flooded with water for at least 15 minutes. Medical
attention shall be obtained as soon as possible.
4.3.2
Skin Contact
Skin exposure shall be treated by washing with soap and water. Any
contaminated clothing shall be removed and affected areas washed with
soap and water.
4.4 OTHER HAZARDS
Attention must be paid to other possible hazards on the site including, but not limited to:
- improper use of hand tools
- rotating machinery such as pumps
- dehydration of the personnel
- tripping on objects or open ditches
- falling objects from the overhead work
- lack of oxygen through blockage of the mask

SECTION 5
JOB HAZARD SUMMARY
Exposure to chemical hazards may occur when contaminated soils are brought to the
surface during excavation activities. As each of task begins, the potential risk of
exposure increases. Consequently, level C personal protective equipment shall be
available at the site. If monitoring of the breathing zone establishes another action level,
the personal protection level may be upgraded. Nearby residents or workers are at a
sufficient distance that they shall be at no significant risk. The SSO shall determine if
any further action is required.
SECTION 6
EXPOSURE MONITORING PLAN
6.1 DRILLING
The exposure monitoring activities shall be conducted or directed by the SSO during
those activities that require such monitoring. At a minimum, the breathing zone shall be
monitored for organic vapors during drilling activities. This shall be accomplished by
use of a Foxboro OVA, HNU or Photovac PID portable analyzer. A Gastech LEL
explosive meter shall be used to warn of any explosive hazards during these activities.

6.2 ACTION LEVELS
Action levels for explosive hazards are set at 25% of the lower explosive limit (LEL). In
the event that enough combustible vapor is present to sustain readings at or near 25% of
LEL work shall cease until an evaluation is perform by the SSO and a determination can
be made.
Action levels for organic vapors in the breathing zone shall be based on readings
obtained by the portable equipment mentioned. The PID instrument determines the total
organic vapor present in the breathing zone. Readings of 0 to 300 ppm (TWA for
gasoline is 300 ppm)shall be considered level D without respirators. Readings of 300
ppm or greater for 5 minutes or longer shall trigger an action level to upgrade to level C
or modified level D with respirators.
SECTION 7
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
The respiratory and skin protection requirement shall be initially set at level "D" without
respirators. This indicates that inhalable airborne substances are known, and
concentrations of chemicals in the atmosphere are not expected and are well below TLV-
STEL levels. The use of the f6'iliS~ing personal protection equipment is mandatory.
