Office of Environmental Services 1715 Chester Ave. Bakersfield, CA., 93301 Subject: Site Characterization Workplan Former UST Site 900 Sacramento St. Bakersfield, CA. Mr. Etter: I I I I I I I I This Site Characterization Workplan (Workplan) is submitted by Soils Engineering, Inc. (SEI) and describes the scope of work which will be conducted at the former underground storage tank (UST) areas located at the subject site (see Plate 1 for Location Map) SEI proposes to advance a minimum of 5 soil borings to a depth of 30 feet in the area of the former UST's to collect soil samples for chemical analysis. The environmental investigation will be conducted in accordance with the Bakersfield Fire Department Office of Environmental Services (BFDES) requirements for site characterization investigations. 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). 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 has 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 following scope of work is proposed to be performed at the site. PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK I I Mark Borings & Notify Underground Service Alert Underground Service Alert (USA) will be contacted to identify utility locations 48 hours prior to conducting the drilling. SEI will mark the soil boring locations prior to drilling. ; I 4700 DISTRICT BLVD.

One (1) soil boring will be placed over the former waste oil UST location, and the other 4 borings in the area of the 6 former 6,000 gallon UST's and associated product piping. A California registered geologist will oversee the drilling process. Soil samples will be collected at 5 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 will be sealed, labeled and placed in an iced cooler. See Plate 2 for proposed soil boring locations. If contamination is evident at the bottom of a soil boring (30 feet) additional drilling will be recommended to dethae the vertical extent of the contamination (at least 5 feet beyond contamination). If the 5 soil borings do not define the lateral extent of the hydrocarbon plume additional soil borings will be conducted in appropriate areas to define the lateral extent. The borings will be back£flled with soil cuttings (if clean) and capped with concrete. Any additional cuttings will be stockpile on and covered by plastic sheeting and be removed during future disposal/recycling activities. Analytical Testing Selected soil samples (3) from the boring at the waste oil tank will be analyzed for oil & grease by EPA Method 418.1 and for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and total xylenes (BTEX), and MTBE by EPA Method 8020. Selected soil samples (minimum of 3 from each boring) from the other 4 soil borings will be analyzed for Total Recoverable Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TRPH), TPHg, TPHd, and for BTEX & MTBE using EPA Methods 418.1, 8015m and 8020 at a State certified analytical laboratory. Site Characterization Report SEI will prepare a Site Characterization Report describing the field work conducted with analytical results of soil samples, boring logs, and conclusions and recommendations for the site. HEALTH & SAFETY PLAN SEI has prepared a Site-Specific Health & Safety Plan for the field work which will be conducted. In general, all employees that will work at the site will have received the Health and Safety training required by OSHA for hazardous waste site operations (29 CFR 1910.120). Petroleum, diesel, and gasoline fuel constituents are the identified hazardous substances at this site. Highly volatile components, such as benzene, pose the greatest health hazard.

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 (I) 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 has 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. PROPOSED SCOPE OF WORK Drilling Minimum of 5 Soil Borings to 30 feet SEI will utilize an SEI owned and operated Hollow-stem auger drill rig to advance a minimum of 5 soil borings to an estimated depth of 30 feet below ground surface (bgs) at locations shown on the attached Plot Plan.

The borings will be backfilled with soil cuttings (if clean) and capped with concrete. Any additional cuttings will be stockpile on and covered by plastic sheeting and be removed during future disposal/recycling activities. At the request of the Bakersfield Fire Department Environmental Services (BFDES) a Site Characterization has been requested to define the vertical and lateral extent of hydrocarbons in the soil. PROJECT SCHEDULE AND WORK PLAN 221 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 BFDES of the time and date. At a minimum five (5) soil borings will be drilled to a depth of approximately 30 feet each. Soil samples will be collected and analyzed for TRPH, TPHg, TPHd and BTEXM. Additional borings will be drilled further out from the UST's to define the lateral extent of hydrocarbon impacted soil if necessary. A Site Characterization Report will be prepared detailing the field work performed, analytical results, plot plans, cross-sections, with conclusions and recommendations for the site.

These will include items such as water spray and/or administrative controls such as reducing site activities that produce windborne dust. 4.3 DERMAL EXPOSURE HAZARD 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 overhead power lines 4.5 HEAT STRESS PREVENTION The SSO shall monitor ambient temperature and use the following work/rest regimes as a guide.

I I I I I I I I I I I '1 il For ambient temperature below 80°F, standard rest breaks (e.g. 15 minutes every 4 hours) should be used. For temperature above 80°F, the following regime should be followed. Temperature Work Rest Comments (a) 80 to 85°F 2 hr. 5 min. Review heat stress in a safety meeting. Schedule a beverage break every 2 hrs., at a minimum. 80 to 90°F 2 hr. 15 min. Seated rest. Drink at least 8 ounces at each break. Above 90oF 1.5 hr 15 min. As stated above. Rest area to be shaded. SECTION 5 JOB HAZARD SUMMARY Exposure to chemical hazards may occur when contaminated soils are brought to the surface during drilling 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.

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 following personal protection equipment is mandatory. 7.1 EQUIPMENT REQUIRED FOR FIELD PERSONNEL - Hard hat - Boots (with steel toes) Nitrile, or equivalent, work gloves - Eye protection 7.2 LEVEL C PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT Half-mask air purifying respirator necessary.
