WALLS Senior Engineer FROM: SUBJECT: WORKPLAN TO INSTALL MONITORING WELL MW-IA, GARRIOT CROP DUSTING, BAKERSFIEW, KERN COUNTY Background The Garriott Crop Dusting facility is located at 2010 South Union Avenue. The site is currently utilized as an aircraft maintenance and storage facility. An unlined surface impoundment approximately 320 feet long and approximately 10 feet wide was fonnerly located along the south side of the property. There are currently two gro,undwater monitoring wells associated with the site, MW-l and MW-2. Groundwater monitoring well MW-l is located on-site directly adjacent to the fonner impoundment. Groundwater monitoring well MW-2 is located approximately 1,200 feet downgradient (south) of the site. The impoundment has been backfilled with clean soil. The subject workplan proposes to install a second on-site groundwater monitoring well, MW-IA, in the vicinity of existing well MW-1 to confirm previous analytical data. In addition, it appears that the existing on-site monitoring well may no longer be an effective monitoring point since the groundwater elevations have dropped to just below the base of MW -1. The following is my review of the subject workplan. Review According to the provided information. during the boring of monitoring well MW-l. dinoseb was detected in soil samples down to approximately 143 feet (ft) below ground surface (bgs). Groundwater was encountered at approximately 163 feet and had concentrations of dinoseb at 110 µg/I. No dinoseb was detected in soil samples from below 143 ft bgs to the groundwater table. The workplan indicates that contaminants in groundwater may have been introduced by the mud-rotary drilling method utilized during the installation of the monitoring well. Proposed monitoring well MW-1A will be drilled down to 185 ft bgs, approximately 40 feet east of monitoring well MW-l. The well will be drilled using a hollow stem or equivalent dry method. The workplan indicates that soil samples will be collected at appropriate intervals determined by lithology, California Environmental Protection Agency Iff>. !{cJ Recycled Paper .,.",.. _.,_..""''' ..........11.......... ç~....:n..... ,....~I;Ç......n;.. :.... ..030..1 I:'uo>o_..

EP A Method 632 Upon completion of the well, groundwater samples will be conected and analyzed for the same constituents as for the soils listed above. Evaluation The proposal for a second on-site groundwater monitoring well appears to be appropriate. Sampling protocols and analytes to be screened also appear to be appropriate for this project. No groundwater monitoring well details were provided in the subject workplan. The workplan does not indicate how "suspected" soil samples will be detected. Typically, a photoionization detector (PID) is used for field screemng. Conclusion After reviewing the subject workplan, I conclude: 1. Groundwater monitoring well construction details need to be provided prior to the installation of MW -1A. 2. Soil field screening methods to be employed need to be provided prior to the installation of MW-IA. The above items must be addressed prior to the start of the proposed work.

CALIF Re: Proposed CLosure Tasks, Former Garriott Crop DustÙtg Site CLeanup and Abatement Order #90-716 Dear Mr. Walls: In October 1997, WZI prepared a proposed plan for the closure of the former surface impoundment located at the fonner Garriott Crop Dusting facility at the Bakersfield Air Park in Bakersfield, California. The proposed plan included the capping ofthe impoundment in accordance with design criteria in Title 27 of the Califomia Code of Regulations, installation of an additional monitoring well on the site, and post closure monitoring of the monitoring wells and cap. In a response to the proposed plan prepared in November 1998, you concluded the following: . The proposed cap design was acceptable but the cap would need to be wider, extending further to the south; . A leak detection system consisting of both vadose zone and groundwater monitoring wells would be necessary for the proposed cover system. In addition, it was indicated that a report of waste discharge (RO WD) would be necessary for the site so the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) staff could draft waste discharge requirements for the facility. The following summarizes some of the past remedial activities conducted at the site and outlines additional tasks which have been proposed in accordance with previous RWQCB conclusions in order to bring the site closer to closure. 1300370010 RWQCB Walls Ltr. ApI" 29 02 12:18p EVE'INE 445-6277 e p.9 ,--... ~ WZ.,NC, Previous Groundwater Monitoring One groundwater monitoring well (MW-l) is currently located at the Garriott site adjacent to the former pit. MW -1 was drilled to a total depth of 173 feet in January 1992 and groundwater was originally encountered at a depth of 163 feet. Analysis of soil samples collected during the drilling of the well indicated the presence ofthe herbicide dinoseb at concentrations ranging from 5.1 parts per million (ppm) to 0.28 ppm between depths of 10 feet and 70 feet, 0.55 ppm at 130 feet, and 0.59 ppm at 143 feet. No dinoseb was detected in soil samples collected between 143 feet and the top of groundwater. Dinoseb was also detected in a groundwater sample collected from MW-I at a concentration of 110 parts per billion (ppb) which was above the Significant No Adverse Response Level (SNARL) of7 ppb for drinking water. An additional groundwater sample was collected fÌom MW-l on July 16, 1999. A dinoseb concentration of73 ppb was reported for that sample. A second monitoring well (MW-2) was installed in July 199ó in a down-gradient location, approximately 1,200 feet to the south of the Garriott site. Well MW·2 was sampled at the time of installation in July 1996, April 1997, and again in July 1999. Concentrations of all herbicide and pesticide compounds were reportedly below laboratory detection limits for all of the samples collected from MW-2. Additional Monitoring Wells Based on the soil samples collected from MW -1, there has always been, and continues to be, a question as to whether groundwater contamination detected in MW-I may be the result of contaminants being introduced into the groundwater by the mud-rotary drilling method utilized for the installation of the well. The small diameter ofMW-l (2 inches) and the fact that water levels have dropped below the base of MW-I in the past have made the well ineffective for ongoing monitoring. In order to obtain more representative grO\mdwater samples beneath the former impoundment and establish a more effective and reliable monitoring well, an additional monitoring well will be drilled along the edge of the former surface impoundment offsetting MW-l. The new monitoring well, designated MW -I A, will be drilled approximately 30 to 40 feet east of MW -1, to a depth of approximately 185 feet, to allo'.',' for greater fluctuations in groundwater levels than MW -1 could monitor. The well will be drilled utilizing a hollow stem auger or equivalent dry method. No fluids will be utilized during the drilling operations to minimize the potential for cross contamination. The well will be completed with a minimum of 4 inch diameter casing to assure proper access for sampling. A second additional well, designated MW-3, will also be drilled at a down-gradient location to the south of the pit. The purpose of well MW-3 will be to help detennine the extent of groundwater degradation and establish a more precise gradient in the area when utilized in conjunction with the other monitoring wells. We are currently negotiating with property owners to the south of the site to establish a location for MW-3. 1100~70010 RWOr.R W"lk' ,tr ? Apr 29 02 12:19p EVE'iNE 445-6277 e p. 10 ,.--. , --'" WZIINC, Pit Cover You had previously concluded that the proposed cap design was in conformance with Title 27 requirements but the size may not be sufficient to prevent water from migrating under the cap and coming in contact with contaminated soils. Consequently, you had requested that the cap be extended further to the south. We intend to install the proposed cap on the Garriott property, however extending the cap to the south will be very difficult as it will require crossing the property line of the Garriott site onto privately owned property to the south. The property to the south is currently utilized as an auto-wrecking yard and is separated from the Garriott site by a large steel fence. An electrical power pole, maintained by PG&E, is also located approximately 2 feet south of the property line on the adjacent parcel. Counsel for Garriott is in contact with PG&E to determine whether the pole needs to be moved and, if so, the feasibility of doing so. Weare currently negotiating with the property owner to the south concerning access to his parcel for the pit cover. Considering the impact to the adjacent property owners business and the logistics of moving onto the adjacent parcel, it may be some time before access to extend the pit cover onto the property to the south is obtained. Schedule We are currently obtaining bids and plan to move ahead with the installation of MW-IA soon. Installation of MW-3 will follow as soon as a suitable location can be secured on one of the properties to the south. We are also attempting to negotiate extension of the pit cover with the property owner to the south, Consequently, installation of the pit cover will be contingent on obtaining access to the adjacent property if extension of the cover to the south continues to be a requirement of the R WQCB.

INTRODUCTION A site inspection of Garriott Crop Dusting (GCD) was conducted on March 3, 1987, pursuant to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Technical Directive Document (TOO) F9-8703-24. The site was recommended for an inspection in a Preliminary Assessment (PA) performed by Ecology and Environment, Inc.'s (E&E's) Field Investigation Team (FIT) in December 1986. The PA stated that GCD, an aerial pesticide and herbicide applicator on a site adjacent to the Bakersfield Airpark (BA) (CAD981434236), had formerly disposed of pesticide rinse water in an on-site trench. Soil sampling conducted by Department of Health Services (DOHS) enforcement staff in 1986 confirmed contamination of GCD property with 12 pesticides. Concern about the contamination caused the site to be classified as a state superfund site. GCD has also been suspected of contributing to pesticide contamination found at the BA. This report summarizes FIT's findings from its inspection of GCD and presents recommendations for further action. A CERCLA site inspection of the BA was also conducted on March 3, 1987, by the FIT. The site inspection report for this facility was completed and submitted to the EPA on March 27, 1987. Due to the fact that the contamination found at the BA is related to GCD, it is recommended that the two reports be reviewed in conjunction with each other. 1-1 e e 2. SITE CHARACTERIZATION 2.1 SITE HISTORY AND DESCRIPTION GCD is located on a 2.73-acre lot adjacent to the BA (see Figure 1, Site Location Map). The facility consists of a main building with an aircraft parking area, a rinse pad, a steam-cleaning pad, and an abandoned rinsate trench to the east (see Figure 2, Facility Map). To the west of the building are trucks, a chemical-storage area, and above- and below-ground fuel storage areas. The property is owned by Dick Garriott, President of GCD. GCD originated in 1953 at a ranch called Porter Farms in Edison, California, and moved to its present location adjacent to the BA in 1969. The owner of the property at that time was Elynor Rudnick. Ms. Rudnick developed the BA in 1945 and the use of the BA as an airstrip is the only known use under her ownership. Mr. E.A. Bender purchased the property from Ms. Rudnick in approximately 1970 and leased the 2.73-acre portion to Mr. Garriott until Mr. Garriott purchased it from him in 1978. GCD operates eight aircraft (five airplanes and three helicopters) and uses over 45 airstrips, all in Kern County, except one. GCD has eight full-time employees, including five pilots, and 10-15 part-time employees (1). 2.2 PROCESS DESCRIPTION (Note: Information in this section was obtained from Mr. Garriott during the FIT site inspection interview.) A variety of powdered and liquid chemical products to be used in crop dusting are delivered either to GCD or directly to the particular job site. At the job site the chemicals are poured into mixing tanks mounted on trucks. After the product has been agitated and mixed with the water in the tank, the mixture is pumped into the aircraft-hopper tanks through connecting hoses. (Hopper tanks are not loaded on-site at GCD.) The field is sprayed and the aircraft return to the job site with empty tanks. The tanks are filled with water and the aircraft spray the rinse water over the field. Plane washing is also done at the job site. These practices have apparently been followed since 1985 (1). 2-1 e e ~ ,,;....

FIGURE 2 FACILITY MAP GARRIOTT CROP DUSTING x-x-x e e Prior to 1985, washing and rinsing did occur on-site. Pesticide rinse water from mix tanks, hopper tanks, and aircraft exteriors flowed from a concrete rinse pad into a 100-by-l0-by-5-foot unlined trench on-site. Rinse water from steam cleaning which took place on the steam-cleaning pad drained into a sump beneath the pad. Approximately 60-70% of substances applied by GCD are pesticides; 30-40% are herbicides; and 5% are seed and fertilizers (1). The following chemicals are known to have been used at GCD: Guthion, Agua 8 parathion, Comite, Omite, Monitor, Pounce, Paraquat, Nudrin, Lorsban, Orthene, Accelerate, Liquid 7, Nofoam, Defol 6, Spreader sticker, Dimethoate 267, Cytox, Aqua malathion, Ridomil, Azodrin, Lannate, Sorba spray, Buetril, Metasystox, Folex, Def 6, Cymate, Phosdrin, PCX, and MCP amine (2). Amounts of these chemicals used are unknown. 2.3 WASTE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES 2.3.1 Disposal Rinse water from mix tanks, hopper tanks and airplane exteriors was disposed of into the on-site, unlined trench from 1970 until 1985. Mr. Garriott was unable to estimate the volume of rinse water discharged to the trench during this time period, due to the sporadic nature of rinse water disposal, which is influenced by growing season and number of contracts (1). According to a 1982 DOHS inspection report, empty pesticide containers were originally crushed on-site and stored in cotton trailers until they were hauled to an unspecified Class I facility in Coalinga. Prior to the existence of the Class I facility, the containers were disposed of at county dumps (3). At the time of the 1982 DOHS inspection, the pesticide containers were being triple-rinsed at the job site, crushed and stored in cotton trailers at GCD, and hauled approximately six times per year to the Arvin or Shafter Class III facilities. Arvin is approximately 20 miles northwest of Bakersfield and Shafter is approximately 15 miles southeast of Bakersfield. Presently, the containers are triple- 2-4 e e rinsed at the job site, crushed at GCD, stored in a bin in the yard, and hauled to the Arvin Dump by the South Side Sanitation Service approximately once per month (1). Some of the containers currently used are water-soluble packages which dissolve when dropped into the mix tanks (4). 2.3.2 Storage There are two IO,OOO-gallon steel underground tanks on-site. The tanks were installed in 1970. They are used to hold 80-octane gasoline (aviation fuel) and unleaded gasoline (vehicle fuel). Both were empty at the time of the inspection. It is not known when or if the tanks will be used again for fuel storage. The date of the most recent tank inspection is unknown. Mr. Garriott believes that the tanks were leak tested in 1978 (1). No evidence of tank leakage was found in records obtained during FIT file searches. There are two I,OOO-gallon above-ground steel tanks on the west edge of the property. These hold IOO-octane gasoline and diesel fuel. The diesel fuel tank showed evidence of leakage during an RWQCB inspection of February 1985 (5). Flammables (solvent and thinner used for engine cleaning) are stored outside in 55-gallon drums in an unbermed concrete area next to the steam-cleaning pad. Steam-cleaning solution is stored in 55-gallon drums with the flammables. During the FIT site inspection, approximately 10 drums were observed in the storage area (see photo in Appendix C). Pesticides to be aerially applied are stored on open tables on the west side of the site. Chemicals are normally stored on a short-term basis (2-3 days) between delivery and application (1). 2.3.3 Spill Incident On March 24, 1987, a fungicide (Kocide) spill occurred on the BA leading to GCD as a truck was accessing the site. Information concerning this spill is presented in the SA CERCLA Site Inspection Report of March 27, 1987 (6). No documentation of any spills at GCD was located during FIT's investigative efforts. 2-5 e e 2.4 AGENCY INVOLVEMENT AND SAMPLING RESULTS In January 1980, while conducting an inspection of rinse-water operations at the BA, the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) determined that GCD was in violation of its Pesticide Rinse Water Guidelines and that, based on soil and groundwater conditions observed, there may have been a serious threat to groundwater quality. At the time of the RWQCB inspection, the on-site trench contained 2 feet of pesticide rinse water (7). A follow-up RWQCB inspection report of July 1980 stated that soil permeability was probably low, yet depth samples should probably be taken to determine the extent of penetration of pesticides into underlying substrata (8). (File information indicates that no sampling was done until 1985.) The site was inspected by DOHS in December 1982 and sampling was again recommended (3). Three citizens' complaints concerning GCD's waste-disposal practices were filed with the Kern County Health Department (KCHD) in 1984-85. In response to the complaints, DOHS and RWQCB inspected the site on February 8, 1985 (9). Two soil samples from the area near the trench were collected by DOHS. Samples were analyzed for chlorinated pesticides, organophosphates, carbamates, and herbicides (10). One or both of the samples exceeded RWQCB Recommended Soil Cleanup Levels (RSCLs) for Chlordane, DOT, Diazinon, PCNB, Parathion, Thimet, and Thiodan (see Table 1). During the inspection, pesticide staining under the cotton trailers was evident, unrinsed 55-gallon containers were seen stored with the pesticide containers, and the chemical storage area was in poor condition (9). DOHS issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) citing violations of the Code of Federal Register, California Administrative Code, and the Health and Safety Code. Conditions causing the violations were (5): 1) 55-gallon pesticide drums stored in a cotton trailer with triple-rinsed containers; drums not stored to prevent leaks; 2) Generator storage of waste on-site in a sump for more than 90 days; 3) Generator disposal of waste on-site; 4) No EPA 10# at time of inspection; 5) Containers in product storage area leaking and not in good cond it ion; and 6) Diesel fuel tank showing evidence of leaking. ?-ñ e e Table 1 Analytical Results from DOHS Sampling - February 1985 Detection RWQCB Chemical JEP 38-composite JEP 39-composite Limits RSCLs (mg/kg) (mg/kg) (mg/kg) (mg/kg) Chlordane 1.41 NO <0.1 0.055 DDT+Metabolites 58.82 NO <0.1 1.0 Oef 3.9 2700.0 not indicated Oiazinon ND* 90.0 1.0 14.0 Methoxychlor 6.06 38.5 <0.1 700.0 PCNB 0.4 12.5 <0.1 0.9 Parathion 17.9 340.0 not indicated 30.0 Th i met 1.1 NO 0.5 0.7 Th i odan 10.89 510.0 <0.1 74.0 * NO = Not Detected See laboratory reports in Appendix D for detailed information on analytical procedures.

The RWQCB informed GCo that its rinse-water trench was subject to the Toxic Pits Cleanup Act (TPCA) of 1984, and requested a proposal for appropriate management of pesticide materials to prevent soil and groundwater contamination (5). A second inspection was conducted by OOHS in July 1986 (11). Six samples (4 soil composites, 1 liquid, and 1 sludge) were taken. Results of lab analyses showed contamination with the organochlorinated pesticides PCNB, Chlordane, DOT, and ODE; and the organophosphorus pesticides Diazinon and Ethyl parathion. Carbofuran, Carboxyl, and Buffencarb were found in trace quantities (see Table 2). In response to oOHS's request for a site assessment proposal, GCo submitted a proposal by P.I.C. Environmental Management (PIC) in - August 1986. oOHS and RWQCB reviewed the proposal and considered it deficient in addressing the information required to conduct a methodical and cost-effective investigation of contamination at GCo (11, 12). DOHS specified that, in order for the proposal to be acceptable, it must include (11): 1) "Hot Spot" sampling of the backfilled area suspected of being an extension of the trench; 2) Drilling of a borehole in or adjacent to the trench to the depth of groundwater (to be completed as a groundwater monitor well); and 3) Sampling of the pesticide storage area. GCD subsequently submitted a second proposal, written by EMCON Associates. The new contamination assessment proposal responded to the requirements outlined by DOHS. RWQCB accepted the proposal's Phase I assessment as satisfactory (with modifications to address its comments) in January 1987 (13). 2-8 N I 1.0 TABLE 2 AnalyticalResults from OOHS Sampling - June 1986 (Units = ug/g for liquids and ug/ml for solids) BAB270 BAB271 BAB272 BAB273 BAB274 BAB 269 sur face canposite sur face canpos i te Ii quid fr an sludge fran sur face canposite 3' canposite under product under cotton sur face sur face +50' east of on SE corner bench trailers impoundment impoundment surface impoundment Methomyl (Lannate) NO NO NO 3.8 NO 1.3 Carbofur an 0.11 0.07 1.2 0.54 B.3 3.8 Carbaryl (Sevin) NO 0.15 0.26 0.11 4.8 0.42 Bu ffencarb NO NO 0.73 NO 1.2 NO PCNO NO NO 0.34 NO NO 0.16 a-Chlordane 3.5 0.70 NO NO NO 5.3 y-Chlordane 3.9 0.93 NO NO NO 5.7 pp' DOC 1.2 NO 47 NO 4.9 12.0 Op ODD 0.46 NO NO NO NO 1.5 Endrin 0.46 NO 0.89 NO NO 2.4 pp' ODD 0.24 NO NO NO NO 3.2 pp' DOT NO NO 0.57 NO 1.0 12.0 Tedion NO NO NO NO 2.6 NO Diazinon NO NO 9.3 NO 340 NO Chlorpyr i fos (Lorsban) 6.1 NO NO NO 200 7.0 Parathion ethyl NO NO 13 NO 2BOO NO Def ND 4700 120 NO 480 73 e e Detection limits varied dependi~ on substance analyzed for and san pIe location.

Source: California DOHS Hazardous Material Laboratory Reports of samples from GCD, 7/28/86 and 8/27/86. e e To address TPCA, GCD applied for the Waters Amendment to TPCA. Under this amendment an Initial Hydrogeologic Site Assessment (IHSA) is required in lieu of a Hydrogeologic Assessment Report (HAR). The IHSA involves assessment of the vadose zone only as opposed to the full hydrogeologic assessment required under TPCA; however, the provisions of the amendment accelerate the date of impoundment closure. GCD is scheduled to submit an IHSA of the trench to RWQCB in July 1987, and to close the trench by January 1, 1988. If GCD does not meet the July deadline for the ISHA, the site cannot be considered under the amendment and a full HAR must be done (14). 2.4.1 Off-site Contamination The main drainage pathway from the BA formerly flowed through GCD, and then back onto BA property where it would drain into a culvert which led to a City-owned sump; therefore GCD is potentially a source of this contamination. The City of Bakersfield (the City) bought the BA property in 1985 with the intent of redeveloping is as - a public airport. In 1986 the City contracted a consultant to sample soils, sludge, water, and air on the BA property near GCD. Sixteen pesticide compounds were found in these samples. Highest concentrations were found in soils near the area which was a backfilled extension of GCD's trench. Contamination was found to be limited to the top six inches of soil. Low levels (not considered a health threat) of Balan/Treflan, and Dacthal were found in air samples from stations along the fence line separating GCD from the airpark, and near the city-owned sump. This contamination could be due to GCD, the airpark, other facilities, or nearby agricultural fields. The consultants' findings are described in more detail in the SA CERCLA Site Inspection Report. 2.5 PERMITS GCD holds a pesticide-application permit (date of issue and expiration date unknown) from the State of California and rights of ingress to and egress from the airpark grounds because it uses the BA runway and connecting taxiway. GCD is a registered generator of 2-10 e e hazardous waste, EPA 10 No. CAX000149070 (8). GCD could become regulated under RCRA or state regulations as a treatment facility due to its recent installation of a carbon filtration system for rinse water (see Section 2.6, Remedial Action). 2.6 REMEDIAL ACTION In 1986 GCD treated the disposal trench for several months using a process which involved the use of enzymes and anaerobic and aerobic bacteria to detoxify the chemicals in the trench. GCD requested that the DOHS make the trench a testing area for this type of cleanup. DOHS denied this request, stating that the scope and nature of the contamination problem needed to be defined before any treatment program was to be implemented (15). A clay berm was placed along the fence line between GCD and the BA in October or November 1986. Mr. Garriott indicated that the City had requested that GCD construct the berm to keep runoff from the two- properties separate. GCD is in the process of installing a carbon filtration system underneath the steam-cleaning pad so that hopper tanks and equipment may be rinsed on-site. The rinse water would flow underneath the pad and through this filtration system which would recycle the rinse water and render it a nonhazardous waste. The recycled rinse water would then be reused. The DOHS Toxic Substances Control Division (TSCD), EPA, and RWQCB are scheduled to inspect the system to determine the type of permitting necessary for it. According to the DOHS TSCD, the system will be 1) exempt from permitting, if it is classified as a recycling system; 2) permitted under state regulations, if the system is classified as a treatment unit processing pesticide residues only; or 3) permitted under RCRA, if classified as a unit processing amounts of pesticides considered greater than residues. 2-11 e e 3. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 3.1 PHYSICAL SURROUNDINGS Garriott Crop Dusting (GCD) is located at an elevation of 578 feet above mean sea level in an area of low topographic relief within the San Joaquin Valley. It is directly adjacent to the Bakersfield Airpark (BA). Five miles north of the site, the Kern River flows through the City of Bakersfield. The central branch of the Kern Island Canal flows south from the Kern River and passes GCD 0.5 miles to the west. Water from this unlined canal is used for irrigation. The nearest agricultural land is 1.5 miles southeast of GCD. Land use in the vicinity of GCD is mostly light industrial. The nearest residential area is approximately 0.25-0.5 miles to the east. GCD is 2.5 miles from the center of the City of Bakersfield, population 147,000. According to the Department of Fish and Game (DFG), it is possible that the kit fox, an endangered species, could be found in the vicinity of the airpark and GCD (16). The one-year, 24-hour rainfall for the area is 1.25 inches. Net precipitation from November to April is 2.65 inches (17). 3.2 GEOLOGY GCD is located in a soil transition zone comprised of four different soil series: Pond loam, Chino loam, Delano loamy sand, and Cajon sand. Pond loam and Chino loam are low to moderately permeable; however, Delano loam and Cajon sand are highly permeable. Percolation through the vadose zone is slow due to the high attenuation properties of local, fine-textured soils (18). Depth to bedrock is 7,000 feet (19). The site is generally flat. 3-1 e e 3.3 HYDROLOGY 3.3.1 Surface Water The major portion of runoff from GCD flows toward the north side of the site where it collects in a ditch that leads east onto the airpark property. Runoff then flows overland, into a culvert, underground through a IS-inch pipe to a city-owned sump where it ultimately evaporates. The clay berm on the eastern edge of GCD deters runoff from flowing onto or off of airpark property. The southeastern portion of the site slopes slightly to the south. Direction of drainage from this area is toward the adjacent property which is unpaved. Evaporation rates in the San Joaquin Valley are typically high and surface runoff resulting from periods of rain is not substantial. The nearest surface water to the site is the central branch of the Kern Island Canal, 0.5 miles to the west of GCD. 3.3.2 Groundwater Depth to groundwater on-site is reported to be 190 feet although seasonal recharge and pumping rates commonly change groundwater levels (20). This groundwater is found in unconfined conditions; however aquifers within Kern County are interbedded with silt and clay beds which cause semi-confined groundwater conditions throughout much of the area. A regional clay layer, the base of which is found at a depth of 300 feet, underlies the City and separates the unconfined~ semi~confined zone from a deeper confined zone. This clay layer is comparable to the Corcoran clay formation which is the most widespread clay formation in the San Joaquin Valley. Regional groundwater flow direction is to the southeast (21). Groundwater in the site vicinity is used for domestic and industrial purposes and is the major source of drinking water for the City; it is the water source for approximately 290,000 people. The number of wells within a three-mile radius of the site is unknown. Groundwater is reported to be of fair quality (22). In August 1985, as part of KCHD's AS 1803 testing program, the three City wells closest to the airpark were tested for organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides and no contaminants were found (23). In August 1986 the KCHD also tested a water sample from Jacobson 3-2 e - Brothers' domestic well, 786 feet southwest of GCD. This sample was tested for the same compounds and no contaminants were detected. Peaks of chloroform and tetrachloroethene were found in the samples taken in August and September by the KHCD from a well 190 feet west of Union Avenue and one block further south from the airpark than Jacobson Brothers. This well serves 27 trailers at V.R.·s Trailer Park. The analyses were performed according to AB 1803 testing requirements, which involve analyses for organohalides, agricultural chemicals, and acid and base/neutral extractables. The peaks detected represented levels less than 0.5 ppb, the reporting level under AS I 1803. It is possible that this trace of contamination could be attributed to any of several light-industrial businesses in the area. 3-3 e e 4. HRS FACTORS The following HRS factors, used to rank uncontrolled hazardous waste sites according to Uncontrolled Hazardous Waste Site Ranking System, a User's Manual, are applied to GCD. Observed Release There have been no observed releases to groundwater from GCD. The potential exists for observed releases to groundwater from the pesticide rinse-water trench, stained areas on the southwestern portion of the site, and from the underground tanks. Limited surface soil sampling has confirmed soil contamination with pesticides in amounts exceeding RWQCB RSCL levels. There are no bodies of surface water on the site and there have been no observed releases to surface water from GCD. There have been no observed releases to air from GCD. Groundwater Depth to groundwater is 190 feet. The groundwater is found in unconfined conditions although the possibility exists that interbedding of silt and clay layers (characteristic of the Bakersfield area) could cause the aquifer to be locally semiconfined. Groundwater within a three-mile radius of the airpark is used for domestic, agricultural, and industrial purposes. Population served by wells within this same area is approximately 290,000. The nearest well is used for domestic purposes and is directly south of GCD at a distance of no more than 100 yards from the GCD property. Net precipitation from November to April is 2.65 inches (17). Surface Water The nearest surface water is the central branch of the Kern Island Canal, 0.5 miles to the west of the airpark and 0.25 miles to the west of the end of the runway. The canal is unlined and carries water used for irrigation only. 4-1 e e Air Low levels of two air contaminants were detected by SA's consultant at sampling stations near the City-owned sump and along the GCD fence line. The source(s) of this contamination was not established and therefore cannot be attributed to GCD. Airborne dust from GCD could contain pesticide contaminated soil particles. This represents potential for an observed release to air. Fire and Explosion A fire which burned some hoses and a cotton trailer holding pesticide containers occurred in July 1986. The cause of the fire is unknown. A County Health Department inspection report indicated that no organic vapors above background levels were detected and that all containers had been emptied, triple-rinsed, and were in compliance with the Agricultural Commissioner's regulations (2). Several 55-gallon drums of solvent and thinner are stored outside, near the main building; however it does not appear that there is a threat of a fire or explosion hazard at GCD. Direct Contact The pesticide rinse-water trench is completely fenced, and fencing surrounds the facility. Warning signs are posted near the chemical storage area and on the fence surrounding the trench. The entrance gate to the facility was open at the time of the FIT inspection indicating that the potential for public contact with chemicals in the chemical storage area exists. There have been no known incidents of direct contact at GCD. 4-2 - e HRS Factors Summary Based on information gathered during the CERCLA Site Inspection and information obtained from agency files, it does not appear that the site is eligible for listing on the National Priorities List (NPL) for the following reasons: o Results from soil sampling at the BA (adjacent to GCD) show that pesticide contamination is apparently limited to the top six inches of soil. Percolation into underlying groundwater is assumed to be slow due to the influence of alkaline and fine-textured soils; therefore, evaluation based on groundwater characteristics would yield a low score. o There have been no documented observed releases to surface water, or air. grOUndwater~ I ) - Based on a worst-case composite of the combination of grOUndwater,~ surface water, and air routes the site's score using the HRS model ) would not exceed 28.5. / I ./ o 4-3 e e 5. SUMMARY OF FIT INVESTIGATIVE EFFORTS FIT members Beatrice Thys and Douglas Russell conducted a site inspection of GCD on March 3, 1987. The inspection began with a meeting with Mr. Dick Garriott, President. Subjects discussed were: history of property ownership; crop-dusting application; equipment rinsing procedures; chemical and fuel storage; and waste-disposal practices. Mr. Garriott also described the carbon filtration/rinse- water-recycling system which he was planning to install. The meeting was followed by a tour of the facility with Mr. Garriott. The rinse water disposal trench (which was dry at the time of the inspection) emitted a pesticide odor. Patches of stained soil - were observed on the southwestern portion of the site. There were a few (less that 10) chemical containers atop the open tables in the chemical storage area. Pools of standing liquid were observed on both sides of the berm on the eastern edge of GCD property. Photodocumentation of the inspection is presented in Appendix C of the report. RWQCB has been established as the lead agency for GCD with DOHS providing active support. Kern County Health Department (KCHD) is assuming the role of monitoring these agencies' work. According to the RWQCB1s assessment of GCD's progress, it does not appear that GCD will meet the deadline for submission of the ISHA under TPCA, and it is likely that a fill HAR will be required (14). 5-1 e e 6. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Limited surface soil and sludge sampling by the DOHS has confirmed pesticide contamination of the GCD property due to past disposal of pesticide/rinse water in the on-site trench, and improper pesticide container storage. Based on sampling results from the City's investigation of a portion of the BA adjacent to GCD, it appears likely that GCD has also contributed to contamination on airpark property. RWQCB has been established as the lead agency investigating GCD and has approved the Phase I contamination assessment proposal for the site. RWQCB is also requiring closure of the rinse-water trench pursuant to TPCA. Based on the information obtained during the site inspection of GCD, FIT (after consu1"tation with the EPA) recommends the following: RWQCB should proceed with enforcement of its requirements for contamination assessment, ensuring the inclusion of those requirements outlined by DOHS in its review of the initial contamination assessment proposal. An inventory of wells within a one- to three-mile radius of the site should be conducted by GCD in conjuction with the City to assess local water quality. In addition to the coordination expected between the RWQCB and DOHS as agencies handling GCD and the airpark, FIT recommends that these agencies send all assessment and remedial investigation reports concerning these sites to the EPA for inclusion into the CERCLIS file. If any of the investigations indicate that there has been an observed release, the site should be reassessed for HRS scoring. 6-1 e e 7.

The stated purpose of this phase I remedial investigation is to determine surface, subsurface and ground water contamination resulting from use of the on-site pesticide 'rinse water disposal sump. The report makes the following proposals: 1. A hydrogeologic report will be developed by researching regional geology and hydrology including a survey of water well elevations, water quality data and well construction details of local water wells. The data will be analyzed to determine whether or not it is adequate information to assess the quality of the shallow ground water beneath the surface impoundment. 2. An on-site personnel safety plan will be followed. 3. Samples will be collected according to the Quality Control/Quality Assurance procedures outlined in the report. 4. Two soil borings will be completed to a depth of 40 feet. Samples will be collected at 5-foot intervals. The borings are to be placed adjacent to the sump. The only samples to be analyzed initially are the 5-foot samples which will be composited prior to analysis. The remaining samples will be archived for two weeks. 5. Shallow borings (2 feet in depth) will be completed in the following locations: Chemical storage/loading dock; trailer storage area; overflow pit east of the impoundment; and soils adjacent to the wash rack. These borings will be sampled at 1 and 2 feet. The I-foot sample will be analyzed. The 2-foot sample will be archived for two weeks. 6. Eighteen surface samples will be collected at random to assess the soil over the entire site. The method to be used is an Environmental Protection Agency (6PA) SW 846 approved method of randomization. Samples will be collected at the surface and I-foot and composited prior to analysis. 7. The 5-foot boring samples will be analyzed for the following parameters by the following EPA test methods: ð1t· .

Ward, whOle plrentl live nellr the airpark, laid ahe could not get a copy of the IT Corp. report Monday, although It was released to 'the media Saturday. "I think there are lOIIle major problems out there and they're Informed rather than release Its study only' after The Ca1lfornlan pubUahed portion, of It. "Welve, asked about the water trying to cover them up, It she said. "I fought against that airpark dis. bict three yeai'll ago, and I know for 8 fact that the dty knew about the; contamination long before It hit the paper but did nothing about it." State authorities told the city in 1983 of potentially hazardous wastes at the airpark. The state suggested that the city detennlne the threat to the ground water. But the city's environmental Impact report on the airpark expansion ignored the prob- lem because it "is, taking place on private property... and thereforè i5 beyond the scope of this (report)." At the time, the airpark also was private property. "I tWnk It's time that the city explained this fully to the communi- ty," said Joyce Johnston of Valley Action Network, an organization which tackles environmental issues. "There certainly appears to be a lubatølltlal threat to the ground water. And until the city opens Ita flies to the public and has someone: from IT Corp. explain the results, no one should beUeve that It's not a threat to the environment." _~ _~_.. " Ill'" .. -. "JN~ City: Toxic soil 'no threat' 1 4 hazardous chemicals found By TOM MAURER ClllUanIIaa ItaII writer The city released a consultant's report Saturday describing the level of contami- nation at the Bakersfield Airpark and said Ule prvblem Is confmed to a small area where it does not threaten the conununity. City Attorney RIchard Oberholzer re- leued the report by toxic-waste consul- tant IT Corp. because The CIlltonúsn pubUshed porUons of It Saturday. Oberbol- fer disputed the newspaper's version, wblch said the report indicated a major health ba%ard at the airpark. "There Is no danger to the surrounding neighborhoods, It Oberhob:er said. " ... There Is contamination on the proper- ty. But the contamination appean to be loca11%ed. There appears to be no threat to the adjacent property owners." The report lists 14 toxic chemicals, some of wlúch are shown In CQncentra· tions four times higher than state safety levels. The chemJcab - which Include Parathion, chlordane, endosulfan, DDT, methoxychlor and hepthachlor - are con- sidered hlgbly toxic. They were found in soU taken from one spot at the airpark and an earthen trench on adjacent land owned by Garriott Crop DustIng Co. Into which pesticide and herbicide residues have been rinsed. The consultant saId several of the chemicals can be absor~ through the skin and could pose a threat to the ground water, wlúch Is less than 190 feet under- ground. The most abundant chemical found was Dachtal. wlúch, the consultant saId: "although found In relative abundance (at) airpark, Dachtalls not asually con- sidered a major threat to humans or Ule environment. " ' , ' ' Turn to AmP ARK I A; .. AIRPARK: City releases consultant's report'on toxic chemicals Continued from Al .~ Oberholz~r a&So disputed the . \)dtewspaper's article that the consul- ....).. tant's report "sharply contradicts" müs conunents to Ule City Council on ~Wednesday. Oberholzer told the council that "the air In Ule area had , no detectable tosins In it" and that soil contamination levels "were ex· tremely 1o", and Just in the detecta- ble stage." He said Saturday that his state- m~nt might have been "miscon- strued or maybe I mlstated It." StiIl, he said, the co.lSultant's report ' "supports the report I made." However, Ule first senten~ In the report reads: "Major contamination Is due to water-<,amed materials flowing in drainage ditch and over ground from Garriot¡'ts'cility onto IIlmArk 111011." e .¡ Oberholzer said the consultant was not warning of "major contami- nation" but trying to detemúne its source. "What he's saying here Is that the major contanúnaUon is due to wa- ter-carried materials. There may be other reasons, to Oberholzer said. "Don't take that out of context." The report also cites specific con- œrn.s: · "Several contarnlnants found In soU and present in more than tra~ amounts are either toxic or a hat- 'arc! to the environment. · "IngesUon of polluted soU by Innocent trespassers (e.g. clùldren) and propensity of some pollutants to be absorbed through skin. · "Threat to groundwater by down- ,!ard nu.thJng 01 pollutants through soU and. more signJfJcanUy, trans- port of contaminants from polluted areas via culvert into ground water sump." "~ Although soU tests at the pde of Ule city swnp found no contami- nants, Ute consultant said tests at the bottom of the sump likely "would show accwnulatlon of con- taminants in swnp sludges andlor soil and water at depth below swnp." Oberho1zer saId the city bas built a fence around the airpark And posted signs warning 01 poss~le. contanúnaUon.

"Add a yellow warning tape ,between signs posted aroW1d pro- . posed fenced-In area on sketch map. .. . "AU persons working in the area (If work requires walking across or ' digging In polluted area) should wear protective clothing ... and respirators."

"Nwner- ous letters were written back and forth discussing the threat to the grow1dwater.

Salvaggio said the city should meet with residents regularly "to allay their concerns and dispel some of their distrust of public agencies. " State and cow1ty health authori· ties have inspected the Garriott site at least nine times from 1980 to 1985, orten Cinding the soil stained by chemicals and pesticides oozing from empty barrels. Although county and city officials refused to release their files, docu- ments given anonymously to 'l'he Californian indicated that state In- spectors listed the Bakersfield Air- park as a high-priority waste site in 1979. Test results in 1985 confirmed contamination by several chemj- cals: Chlordane, DDT, Diazinon, PCNB, Parathion, Thimet and ThJodan.

UThe city has been concerned for a loa¡ time about the crop-dusting opera· tions out there," Strenn said. "But we became aware of thiJ prob)em last week when a member of the city staff saw state in,,·estigators looldng at the crop-dusting property." The city has asked IT Corp., its toxic- cleanup consultant, to look at the ponds and determine if tne city should take any immediate steps to keep the public away from the area. She said children have come onto the airpark property at various t1me:s. There also was a report last week from the PoUce Department of children playing near the contaminated areas. 'J1¡e city already has fenced off most of the airpark area, and Garriott has fenced the area that Includes the two open ponds.

Kern County health authorities also have inspected the Garriott Crop Dusting Co. south of the airpark, and Bakersfield city offlciala have known for three years of ha'l8rdous waste water being dumped into an earthen trench. A city official earlier had said that the city wu unaware of the problem until last week. Two state agencies have reopened their investigation of GaITiott's waste water trench. where r1nøe water containing pesticide reslduel baa been dumped for nearly 8 deéade. Inspectors are taking soil and groundwater samples to determine the level of contamination. The water table can be found within 190 feet under the, airpark, state records show. According to state documents, inspectors have known of the iUegal dumping since 1979 and considered it a high priority at the time. At one point, legal action was being considered by the Kern County dlatrlct attorney's office, but no charges were filed. And although state inspectors repeatedly warned Gamott and county health authorities , of a potential threat to the groundwater, no action was ever taken and the Investigation "was sidetracked," a ltate official conceded Thursday.

The City of Bakersfield owns the major portion of the airpark, although a few businesses exist at the airpark which are not owned by the City, they are: Garriott Crop Dusting, an auto parts store, a copying service, an x-ray repair service, water ways and an auto maintenance facility. Most of the city-owned land has hangars and aircraft tie-down areas, the other areas accommodate a restaurant, offices for administration, an aircraft maintenance business, an aircraft fabrication business and a helicopter maintenance business. The airport property has two ,drainage sumps; a sump west of the runway near water ways and a temporary sump recently put in place east of Union Avenue adjacent to the auto maintenance facility. Associated with the aircraft maintenance facilities are two concrete wash pads and a disposal trench. The disposal trench was previously observed by Mr. Donn Diebert and me on 9 September 1986. It was located on a corner behind the helicopter maintenance facility. It had a considerable amount of blackened soil on the sides and bottom. The trench continued southward and eventually emptied into the airport drainage sump. During a meeting on 9 September 1986 with the City of Bakersfield, I discussed my concern about this disposal trench to Ms. Mary Strenn. Ms. Strenn said that the trench was not on city property. I requested at that time that she accompany me on an inspection of SAP. On my 16 October 1986 inspection, I observed that the blackened dirt in the trench had been removed. I was also informed that the trench was on city property. According to Mr. Olislager, Airport Manager, and the worker who removed the material, the blackened soil was disposed of at the Arvin Dump. This decision was made without consulting any concerned agencies. RECOMI,1ENDAT ION: The City of Bakersfield should provide us with a report that contains sufficient information for us to evaluate any threat to water quality posed by past and present activities at the airpark. The report should include, as a minimum, the following: -"h_ e BAKERSFIELD AIRPARK e -2- 5 November 1986 1. A list of the materials and compounds which were disposed of in the cleaned out trench, indicate the number of years the trench was used for disposal. Provide us with jnfonmation on whether the contaminated soil was tested before it was removed and where the soil was disposed of. 2. Information on the history of waste management at the airpark. Speci- fically, the history of the wash racks; what was rinsed on them and where the rinse water was disposed of. The locations of transient pesticide operators; where they operated and disposed of their waste. 3. An airport drainage plan. 4. Information concerning the controls the City currently has on waste disposal at the airpark. CONCLUSION: The City of Bakersfield has allowed waste disposal on the airpark in the past, has conducted limited cleanup without prior approval, and needs to control future disposal activities. We should request a technical report from the City of Bakersfield that addresses these issues. (~ W <7_ ßrrfflJ 1- GAIL E.

The report is seriously deficient in addressing the information required to conduct a methodical and cost effective investigation of contaminati n at the Garriott site. An outline was forwarded to P.I.C. on August 6, 1986 follow regarding the Remedial Investigation Feasibility Study (RI/FS) process th DHS employs ., to study hazardous waste sites. The subject ~eport ccmpletely fai to address the RI/FS format. ' In order to ensure that relevant and useful data is collected, the investigation at Garriott Crop dusters must proceed according to the following program in order to be considered acceptable by DHS: 1. More effort is needed to develop a complete inventory of chemicals handled at the site. Preliminary surface soil sampling by DHS enforceœent staff have documented the presence the following organo-chlorinated pesticides: PGW?, chlordane DDT, DDE, methoxychlor. The following organo-phosphorous pesticides were also documented: endcsulfan, diazinon, ethYl-parathion, Thimet. The follwing carbanates were found in trace quantities: CarbofUFan, Carbaryl (Sevin) Buff?ncarb. DHS experience with other sites where agricultural chemicals have been handled lead us to susp~ct that solvents and other volatile organic compounds are also involved at the Garriott facility. Consequently, in addition to the list of chemicals identified in the P.I.C. report, the following chemical groups are suspected as contaminants at Garriott: chlorinated herbicides, volatile organics, semi-volatile organics, and phenoxy herbicides. - . 2. Field observations by County, Regional Board and DHS staff, in conjunction with the preliminary surface soil sampling, induce us to suspect that the entire site is subject to surface contamination. Consequently, it will be necessary to assess surface soils across the Garriott facility by either a grid pattern or a statistical random sampling approach. Information on conducting proper sampling protocol has been transmitted to Mr. Rosenlieb. , ' ~ .J -, e ¡" ¡ (, -2- e Surface soil sampling should be conducted in two phases: a. Samples should be taken in areas with the highest potential of contamination. This would include locations of chemical storage, processing, spillage and formulation. Samples from these "hot spots It should be analyzed for all chemicals listed on Item 1 above. b. Based upon the results of the preliminary surface sampling described above, indicator chemicals can be selected for the remainder of surface samples to be collected across the facility. c. All surface sampling should consist of a minimum of two samples per bore hole, at the one-foot and the two-foot levels. 3. A determination is needed regarding the impact of the site on areal groundwaters. The disposal pit is the most likely source of groundwater contamination. A borehole either in or adjacent to the pond should be advanced to the groundwater. Soil samples should be collected every five feet down to a twenty foot depth and every ten feet for deeper levels. The boring should be completed as a groundw~ter monitoring well. Soil samples down to thirty feet and the groundwater sample should be analyzed for all chemicals listed in Item 1 above. The remaining soil samples should be analyzed for the indicator chemicals determined in the first phase of the surface contamination investigation. The borehole need not be more than four inches in diameter or large enough to allow for installation of a pump to collect water samples. The construction of the monitoring well shall be according to the California Site Mitigation Decision Tree criteria, a copy of which has been transmitted to Mr. Rosenlieb. If visual interpretation of the deep soil samples and P.I.D. instrument readings during the dril:ing of the monitoring well provide evidence of deep contamination, it would be cost effective to install additional soil borings around the disposal pit immediately after placement of the well while the drill -rig is on-site. No more than four additional borings are warranted during this initial phase of the investigation--one on each side of the disposal pond offset approximately 50 feet from the pond. Soil samples should be collected every ten feet and analyzed for the indicator chemicals. It ~ust be emphasized that all deep borings should be accurately logged sc that infcr=ation cn subsur~ace stratrigraphy can be obtained. The above-described program will allow for rational decisions to be made regarding the need for air quality monitoring, additional groundwater investigations including sampling of nearby water wells, interim remedial measures, and alternatives for final site cleanup. Quality assurance/quality control (QA!QC) protocol as contained in the DHS Decision Tree document must be followed for collection of all soil and groundwater samples. , , . ", '-' . ' .r e -3- e( It will be necessary for P.I.C. to rewrite the existing report to reflect an investigatory approach as outlined above. Deviations from this "core" program must be accompanied by a detailed rationale. Failure to provide a methodical approach to the Garriott site investigation will result in DHS rejection of the validity of any data collected, with subsequent implications of having to repeat contamination characterization actions. ·Please contact me at (209)445-5938 should you require a clarifiation of our posi tion., ;t;;;' UI. 1(uvu- Thomas W.

As a result of that inspection, violations of hazardous waste statutes and regulations were identified. Specified violations and required corrective action are listed below. Failure to correct the identified violations within the schedule provided will result in DHS citing you for continuing/additional violations. r. Notice of Violations COUNT I. Section 25l89.5{a), Health & Safety Code The disposal of any hazardous or extremely hazardous waste, or the causing thereof, is prohibited when the disposal is at a facility which does not have a permit from the department issued pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, or at any point which is not authorized according to the provisions of this chapter. Pesticides and herbicides have been disposed of in an unlined earthen pond approximately 12' x 200'. Pesticides/herbicides have drained from a concrete pad to the earthen pond. Pesticides collected in the area which drains to the pond and the covered drainage ditch were found to be at hazardous levels in the February, 1985 samples. samples taken in June 1986 at specific areas on the Garriott property are now being analyzed and verbal conformation has been given from HML that pesticides are present. Analytical data will be sent within the week. COUNT II. COUNT III. COUNT IV. ~ -(- .. e ~, e' -2- Section 66508(a,b,c), Title 22, California Administrative Code The generator may accumulate hazardous waste on site for 90 days or less provided that: (1) each container and tank is labeled "Hazardous Waste"; (2) each container is marked with the start of accumulation date: and (3) each nonstationary container is labeled with the composition and physical state, a statement or statements identifying the particular hazardous properties, and the name and address of the generator. A generator who accumulates hazardous waste for more than 90 days is an operator of a storage facility and is subject to the requirements of Articles 17 through 32 and the permit requirements of article 6 unless he has been granted an extension to the 90-day period. Such extension may be granted by the Department if hazardous wastes must remain on site for longer than 90-days due to unforeseen, temporary and uncontrollable circumstances. Pesticide/Herbicides have been stored in the earthen pond for a number of years. Section 67120(a), Title 22, California Administrative Code Permitted facilities shall be designed and constructed, and all facilities shall be maintained and operated to minimize the possibility of a fire, explosion or any unplanned, sudden or non-sudden release of hazardous waste or hazardous waste constituents to air, soil or surface water which could threaten human health or the environment. Triple rinsed containers were being stored in three cotton trailers. Some of the containers in each of the trailers had leaked to the surface of the ground. Section 66371, Title 22, California Administrative Code (a) Permits are required for treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste. Pesticide/Herbicides have been disposed of in an earthen pond without a permit from the Department. ,- r¡ , - e-..; -3- COu~T V. Section 67140 (a), Title 22, California Administrative Code Each owner or operator shall have a contingency plan. COUNT VI. No contingency plan was available.

Garriott i~ working with Robbie Robinson of Chemical Specialties International in an experimental organic detoxification process of the pesticide rinse water sump. GCD would like to exempt the sump from any regulations during the length of the project. The TSCD submitted the letter to the Board for our comments. My comments are the following: 1. The subject site is currently involved in a contamination assessment of the surface impoundment. The purpose of the assessment is to determine any threat to ground water quality posed by the sump. 2. The impoundment does not meet any of the exemption requirements of the Katz Bill: a) the deadline for filing for an exemption was 1 January 1986; b) the sump is earthen; and c) the pit contains rinse water from an agricultural spraying operation (copy of the package regarding this law is attached for forwarding to GCD). 3. The impoundment does not meet our land disposal rules and requirements including but not limited to: a) a double liner; b) subsurface barriers with permeability less than and/or equal to 1 x 10-7 cm/sec; and c) a leachate collection/leak detection. 4. The use of the sump as a test pit could exacerbate any threat to ground water quality by continually adding head to the contaminants in the base of the impoundment. This would force the contamination deeper into soils and/or ground water. 5. Treatment of a contaminated site is regulated under the California Administrative Code, Subchapter 15 regulations. The proposal submitted to TSCD is not sufficiently detailed to determine whether it complies with these rules. CONCLUSIONS: We should recommend that the sump not be used as a test pit for organic detoxification for the reasons stated above. Basically, the problem is we need to have the extent of contamination defined before any treatment plan is implemented.

The letter states that GCD has changed its rinsing procedures by applying the rinse water to the cropland, and if it is necessary to rinse on- site, the liquid goes to the sump which they state has been approved by the Kern County Health Department. 28 Feb 1980 - A survey of airstrips in Kern County indicated several strips used by Garriot. 3 Jan 1980 - Inspection of GCD by member of the Board staff indicating presence of a sump used for rinse water disposal. GCD was found to be in noncompliance with the Board's Guidelines. No letter sent to GCD. 16 Jun 1980 - An inspection was conducted of Airstrip Number 24 used by Garriot. It was noted that at that time, GCD was in compliance with Board Guidelines but past activities could have contaminated soils and should be investigated. No letter sent to GCD. 2 Jul 1980 - Inspection of GCD at Bakersfield Air Park (BAP) found to not be in compliance due to the disposal of pesticide rinse water to an earthen trench. No letter sent to GCD. 9 Jun 1983 - Letter and review of Draft EIR for expansion to SAP. We requested the City of Bakersfield to address the water quality problems posed by GCD at airport. 2 Feb 1985 - We received two letters of complaint which had been sent to KCHD concerning the practices and sump at GCD. The letters noted use of sump and the dumping of pesticide tanks to drainageway while sump was being fenced. 15 Apr 1985 - We received lab results of samples collected by Jerry Prine of the Department of Health Services, Toxic Substances Control Division, indicating high levels of hazardous chemicals found in surface soils at GCD site.

GCD was found to be discharging pesticide rinse water posing a threat to water quality. We requested a contamination assessment of the site and informed them of the TPCA of 1984. 14 Jun 1985 - A response to our letter of 24 Apr 1985 in which Garriot told of having their sump tested by Salco Laboratory Service. They stated that the liquid in the sump is mostly water and the findings indicate "that there is no apparent danger to soil or ground water". The letter stated that they planned to install a self-contained rinse water system with above-ground storage tanks. They stated they also planned to install a cement foundation with liner for storage of pesti·cide containers. 1 Jul 1985 - Memo to Sarge Green from Tim Souther in which Tim described a phone conversation with Mr. Gerry White of the Toxic Substances Control Division, Department of Health Services, in which Mr. White asked us not to take any action in the Garriot case because he was meeting with the Kern County District Attorney for possible criminal action on Garriot. 26 Aug 1985 - A memo sent from the Board to Gerry White in which we reviewed the lab results of soil samples taken at GCD. The memo states that extensive pesticide contamination has occurred at GCD and that the site should be given a high priority for action. 10 Oct 1985 - Kern County inspection finding several conditions present which could pose a threat to water quality. 1 Nov 1985 - The Toxic Pits Cleanup package was sent to GCD. 21 Nov 1985 - A letter from Kern County Department of Airports terminating the agreement allowing GCD to use Wasco, Buttonwillow, Poso, and Lost Hills Airports due to careless operating practices and spillage of agricultural chemicals at the airstrips. 18 Jun 1986 - Minutes of meeting in Kern County. Present were representatives of Department of Health Services, Toxic Substances Control Division; Kern County Health Department; Kern County District Attorneys office; Kern County Ag Commissioner; and the Board. The purpose of the meeting was to decide which action to take concerning GCD and who should take action. 8 Jul 1986 - Letter to DHS from GCD requesting a waiver for the sump. The sump is being treated with enzymes and bacteria as a test Rroject for organic detoxification. 10 Jul 1986 - Copy of inspection report from Jerry Prine. The inspection was conducted on 26 June 1986 and several soil and water samples were collected on-site at the time of the inspection. GEB:hrrrn e e ~1EMORANDUM TO: Lawrence R. Glandon ~~ DATE: 3 January 1980 FROM: David C. Hollingsworth SUBJECT: INSPECTION OF PESTICIDE RINSE ~ATER FACILITIES AT BAKERSFIELD AIRPARK On 27 December 1979, I inspected the pesticide rinse water operations at Bakersfield Airpark in Kern County. The purpose of the inspection was to determine the methods of pesticide rinse water management in view of the Board's recent adoption of pesti- cide rinse water "Guidelines". Currently, there are no waste discharge requirements on the airport or its operators. The airfield is located just south of the City of Bakersfield. The airport is mined by E. A. Bender of Bender Oil Company. Garriott Crop Dusting, Inc. is the only aerial applicator that uses the airport. He operates 4-6 planes. During the inspection I briefly talked with the secretary of the office, who said Mr. Garriott was not there. A variety of different pesticides are used at this airport. Rinsing operations include booms, hopper tanks, and airplane exteriors. Rinsing operations are conducted on two concrete pads. One is located in back of the main hanger and the other was about 30 feet farther southeast. There were extensive areas where pesticide residue was visible on the asphalt and ground adjacent to the wash pad. From the cement pad, the pesticide rinse water flows via a cement channel to an earthen sump. The sump is 5-7 feet wide, about 100 feet long and 5 feet deep. In places it contained about 2 feet of pesticide rinse water. The empty pesticide container storage area is located in back of the hanger. It was fenced. Several photos were taken which will be included with this report. In conclusion, Garriott Crop Duster Service is not in compliance with the Board's Guidelines. Furthermore, based on the soil and groundwater conditions, it appears that there may be a serious threat to groundwater quality. A letter will be sent requesting them to submit plans to mitigate the potential problem and comply with the guidelines. roCUMENT SOURCE DOHS .. RWQCt- 01H£R David C; Hollingsworth /s/ DAVID C.

Glandon ~~ DATE: 3 January 1980 FROM: David C. Hollingsworth SUBJECT: INSPECTION OF PESTICIDE RINSE WATER FACILITIES AT BAKERSFIELD AIRPARK On 27 December 1979, I inspected the pesticide rinse water operations at Bakersfield Airpark in Kern County. The purpose of the inspection was to determine the methods of pesticide rinse water management in view of the Board's recent adoption of pesti- cide rinse water "Guidelines". Currently, there are no waste discharge requirements on the airport or its operators. The airfield is located just south of the City of Bakersfield. The airport is m'med by E. A. Bender of Bender Oil Company. Garriott Crop Dusting, Inc. is the only aerial applicator that uses the airport. He operates 4-6 planes. During the inspection I briefly talked with the secretary of the office, who said Mr. Garriott was not there. A variety of different pesticides are used at this airport. Rinsing operations include booms, hopper tanks, and airplane exteriors. Rinsing operations are conducted on two concrete pads. One is located in back of the main hanger and the other was about 30 feet farther southeast. There were extensive areas where pesticide residue was visible on the asphalt and ground adjacent to the wash pad. From the cement pad, the pesticide rinse water flows via a cement channel to an earthen sump. The sump is 5-7 feet wide, about 100 feet long and 5 feet deep. In places it contained about 2 feet of pesticide rinse water. The empty pesticide container storage area is located in back of the hanger. It was fenced. Several photos were taken which will be included with this report. In conclusion, Garriott Crop Duster Service is not in compliance with the Board's Guidelines. Furthermore, based on the soil and groundwater conditions, it appears that there may be a serious threat to groundwater quality. A letter will be sent requesting them to submit plans to mitigate the potential problem and comply with the guidelines. noCUMENT SOURCE [){)HS .. RWQCt' 01ti£R David C; Hollingsworth Isl DAVID C.

Souther OATL INSPECTED BY: ACCOMPANIED BY: Jack & Dick Garriot of Garriot Crop Dusters, Jerry Prine, Department of Health Services, Clair Binder, Kern County Health Department OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS: I visited the subject facility to investigate the attached complaints and ascertain conformance with existing Board pOlicies and water quality regulations. We looked at the new airport drainage pond and saw no evidence of containers or other materials as indicated in the 19 July 1984 complaint (see attached map for location). We visited the Garriot Crop Dusting facilities and talked with the Garriot's about their facilities and compliance with existing laws and regulations. Mr. Jack Garriot indicated that he had received approval from the Kern County Health Department for his existing pesticide rinse water disposal system. Wastes generated at the facility are managed as follows: WASTE DISPOSAL Rinsed Pesticide Containers Pesticide Container Rinse Water Pesticide Equipment Rinse Water Fertilizer Equipment Rinse Water County Solid Waste Disposal Site Surface Impoundment Surface Impoundment Surface Impoundment Pesticide containers were stored in two cotton trailers at the facility. The trailers contained some rusted out 55-gallon drums, some b1eems as well as the more typical 2, 5 and 3D-gallon containers. One of the containers was dripping a brown liquid on the ground below the trailer. The pesticide rinse water disposal system consisted of a concrete pad draining into an earthen pond (about 10 by 50 feet). The pond was fenced and emitted a strong pesticide odor. Mr. Garriot indicated that pesticide container rinse water, pesticide application rinse water and fertilizer rinse water has been disposed of in this impoundment. The pesticide waste streams are probably hazardous wastes. . ,-- -- - - ¡) Irt"/ " ¡ '/1". ~ ../\"\ 1/t\ I e e BAKERSFIELD AIR PARK -2- 3 April 1985 Full and partial containers are stored on a platform inside Garriot's fence. Below the platform were ruptured containers and deteriorated bags of material that had stained the soils. This· facility is exposed to rainfall. Soils in the area consists of interbedded loarns, sandy 10amsand sands with moderate to rapid permeabilities. Ground water in the area is of fair quality and is found at a depth of about 190 feet. INSPECTION SUMMARY: The discharge poses a threat to ground water quality. This disposal is subject to the provisions of the Toxic Pits Act of 1984. We should ask Garriot to submit their plans for contamination assessment of soils and ground water at the facility and a proposal for appropriate management of pesticide materials that will prevent soil or ground water contamination. c~ ju/ TIMOTHY G.

KERN COUNTY . . bl .(,. ~ 25 November 1980 OATL - Our staff has recently completed an inventory of pesticide chemical rinse water disposal facilities in our sub-area in view of the Regional Board's Pesticide Rinse Water Guidelines (copy enclosed). The purpose of this letter is to let you know the status of the survey and request that action be taken at your location. In the early stages of the inventory, the California ,Agricultur~rcraft Association requested that Regional Board staff collect samples from several applicator's disposal facilities in an attempt to determine the potential for degradation of ground or surface waters. We conducted field sampling of 15 liquid waste collection areas and 11 soil profiles at various sampling sites. Sampling revealed a wide range of pesticide concentrations in pond rinse water and within soils underlying the ponds. Although there was no attempt made to determine the rate of penetration or extent of ground water contamination, staff determined that pesticides do percolate beyond the con- ,. fin~s ~f the disposal areas in coarse and medium textured soils. Other r',t~ ~'UIl!:¿ CøÞUi"¡IUJ~ ~s~such as the quantity of rinse water, the concentration or type of chemical (pesticides) discharged, and the quality and depth to ground water may also be factors influencing groundwater degradation. In view of previous staff inspections we believe soil and rinse water manage- ment conditions at your location are conducive for soil contamination and ground water degradation. A copy of our last inspection report is enclosed. We therefore request that by 1 January 1980 you provide us with a report detailinq the methods you intend to use to comDlv with the Board's ouidp.linpc;. ~~( v ,/"U./) /': I SARGEANT J.
