Box 2205 Bakersfield, CA Attn: Scott Baker Subject: Geotechnical Investigation Workplan for B.C. Chemicals submitted by 3.M. Minney Dear Mr. Baker: Thank you for the quick response in submitting the requested workplan for staff evaluation and state peer review. In reviewing the subject workplan, the proposed sampling locations I sampling plan and analysis appear adequate. The following items, however I need further clarification: 1. On page 11, it is indicated that the samples will be stored with blue ice and then returned to APPL Labs in Fresno. On page 13, it states that BSK of Fresno will perform all chemical testing. What is APPL's function in regards to these samples?; what will be the turnaround time for results? 2. On page 13, background levels are discussed. The report did not indicate how these background levels will be established or if they will be included in the data analysis for remedial action considerations. 3. In the event that the location of the pit is determined, a revised Site Map (showing test hole locations) must be submitted in order to consider these new proposed test holes relative to other sampling locations at the site. 4. The handling/management of the soil from the test holes was not addressed in the workplan. 5. The workplan did not address health and safety considerations (personnel protection and safety equipment) during the site characterization activities. e e CONTACT REPORT AGENCY/AFFILIATION: Kern County Health Department DEPARTMENT: ADDRESS/CITY: 2700 M St., Bakersfield COUNTY/STATE/ZIP:Kern, California CONTACT(S) TITLE PHONE 1.

No remedial action addressing this possible problem has occurred. Depth to groundwater in the Bakersfield area is approximately 200 feet below ground surface (BGS) (10). There are approximately 80 California Vater Service Company (CVSC) wells within 3 miles of BC. The six closest wells to BC are screened between 168 and 1000 feet BGS. CVSC supplies over 50,000 customers using a blended system (9,10). There are no known major users of surface water in the vicinity of BC. There are several man-made irrigation and water-diversion canals within 2 miles of BC; however, the characteristics of these canals have not been determined (10). As of this date, all containerized hazardous substances on the surface, as well as gross surface contamination has been removed, therefore there appears to be little possibility of exposure via the air migration pathway (12). Studies have shown that in the urban/rural interface around th~ area of BC, the Central Valley kit fox, a designated endangered species, may exist (11). As a result, there is a potentially large on-site pathway I threa t . OTHER AtrrHORITY INVOLVEKENT The Kern County Health Department (KCHD) has been investigating the BC Chemical site since 1979. KCHD became the lead agency in 1985 and is overseeing remedial activities. CONCLUSION BC Chemicals, located in Bakersfield, California appears to be eligible for inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL) due to the following reasons: o High likelihood of an observed release to groundwater; o High toxicity/mobility values for the hazardous substances present; and o Large groundwater target population. >/>/cwm/> e e SUMMARY BC Chemicals (BC) operated a chemical custom mixing facility and supply yard at 1511 South Union Avenue in Bakersfield, California bet~een 1970 and 1985. BC manufactured solvent emulsion degreasers, formulated oil field chemicals, and engaged in the sale of a variety of chemical compounds such as organic and inorganic acids, phosphates, alkali and miscellaneous inorganics. The BC property is located in a light industrial and residential area. The property is completely surrounded by a chain-link fence (1). BC is o~ned by Richard Eglin, ~ho leased the property from the Phoenix Trust held by Bank of America. In August of 1985, Mr. Eglin filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Robert L. Villiams became the sole trustee for BC Chemical at this time (2). During the bankruptcy proceedings, Great Vestern Chemical of Portland, Oregon purchased BC's inventory and removed usable chemicals and machinery from the property. Unusable chemicals and equipment ~ere left on-site (3). Chemicals on-site included contents of drums stored from 1970 to 1988 in BC's supply yard. In the yard ~ere over a thousand tanks and drums containing various types and quantities of chemicals. The supply yard ~as neither paved nor bermed and many of the drums ~ere poorly labeled, stacked haphazardly, leaking directly onto the soil, or sho~ing signs of damage due to heat expansion. Several large storage tanks ~ere leaking; no tanks ~ere stored on impervious surfaces or in bermed areas (4). Based on a memo from the EPA's Technical Assistance Team (TAT), FIT estimates that the total hazardous substance quantity present at the site, prior to any removal action, was around 561 cubic yards. Ground~ater sampling on-site performed by the Kern County Health Department (KCHD) in 1985, indicated elevated levels of the metals cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, zinc, nickel, lead and vanadium. In addition, calcium hypochloride, sodium hexametaphosphate, natrasol, drispac, cypan, and dibromochloropropane ~ere detected (5). It is unkno~n if background sampling ~as done. The EPA Technical Assistance Team (TAT) investigated the site in February 1988. TAT determined that chemicals ~hich ~ere immediately dangerous to health ~ere in the process of being removed by a contractor hired by Phoenix Trust, the o~ners of the property. TAT recommended that both EPA and TAT maintain oversight of the removal process. The contractor for Phoenix Trust divided remedial ~ork at the site into three phases. Phases 1 and 2 involved the disposal of drums, above ground tanks, and their associated chemical contents. This step was follo~ed by the development of a remedial action plan (RAP) to address problems of soil and groundwater contamination. Phases 1 and 2 were completed as of April 1986. Phase 3 involved the execution of the RAP (6). Because legal matters concerning the distribution of BC Chemical's post-Chapter 11 assets are still being settled, Phase 3 has never been implemented (7). As a result, there is the possibility of an on-going threat to the local ground~ater supply. In addition to the threat posed by chemicals that ~ere stored on the >/>/cwm/> e e -r>L~~ ()'G I -;---~">~-, (A~ {{í/L/ I ':"-., - ,i .,':-"> ~ "..- \ ,~. --'. . .../~,.. :"- I.:...., ;' J.A ecology and environment. inc·,/t,·,}/ JAN &4' / -- 1990 ::::.:: :::,: ;:~: :~,~:"~:~o, CALIFORNIA 941OS, TEL. 415/777[;~t R fCU . \:-4~~~-¿~,/ SCREENING SITE INSPECTION REASSESSMENT SUBMITTED TO: Paul La Courreye, Site Screening Coordinator EPA Region IX PREPARED BY: John Semerau, Ecology and Environment, Inc.

The strategy for determining whether these SSIs actually merit further action is based primarily on each site's potential to achieve a score high enough on the proposed revised Hazard Ranking System (rHRS) for inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL). This strategy is intended to identify those sites posing the highest relative risk to human health or the environment. All other sites needing remedial or enforcement follow-up will be referred to the states or an appropriate federal authority. Actions and involvement by authorities other than the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) will also be considered. >/>/cwm/> .__.__1_-1 _____ - e KUBS & PARKER ATTORNEYS AT LAW WILLIAM C.

Chemicals, Inc./1511 South Union Avenue Dear Mr. Casagrande: On October 5, 1987, the bankruptcy court ordered Robert L. Williams, bankruptcy trustee of the estate of B. C. Chemicals, Inc., to expend up to $350,000 of estate cash assets to remove the chemicals, drums and other materials from the premises at 1511 South Union Avenue. Despite requests from the Phoenix Trust, Mr. Williams has refused to comply with the bankruptcy court order, apparently due to an appeal filed by one of the creditors of the B. C. estate. In light of Mr. Williams' failure to act in accordance with the court order, and because of the continued threat to public health and safety posed by the situation at the B. C. site, the Phoenix Trust has decided to remove the various materials and containers from the surface of the property. The purpose of this letter is to solicit the County's consent to the Phoenix Trust's actions. As you know, the Phoenix Trust will employ M. P. Vacuum Services to conduct the actual removal which will be supervised by EMCON Associates in conformance with the amended remedial action plan as prepared by EMCON. As the first phase of the cleanup operation, M. P. will segregate, crush and remove all empty containers from the premises. Following County approval of EMCON's amendments to its site and safety plan, M. P. will commence removing the remaining hazardous wastes and other materials from the surface of the premises. Tom Pruitt will coordinate the M. P. operation while Harry Van den berg will be the responsible EMCON officer. If you have any technical questions regarding the cleanup process, please feel free to contact either of these gentlemen directly. Please indicate County approval for the Phoenix Trust's undertaking the cleanup, as outlined, in a writing directed to e e The Phoenix Trust February 9, 1988 page 2 If the County has any questions we will contact either you, Tom Pruitt of M.P. Vacuum Services I or Harry Van den berg of EMCON Associates. Conversely, should you have any questions I please feel free to contact me.

Re: ,,!~C:;;:P~1!.t9.:~l:C!!I!'"if] -- 1511 South Uni on Avenue Dear Mr. Baker: I am in receipt of your letter dated February 4, 1988, regarding the cleanup of the premises at 1511 South Union Avenue. Since the discovery of the hazardous waste management violations at the B.C. Chemicals site, and the notice and order directed to B.C. Chemicals as a result, the County has looked to B.C. Chemicals to remedy the problem. However I the bankruptcy trustee for B. C. Chemicals continues to be unwilling to commence cleanup procedures at the sit e . The Coun ty is in agreement wi th the landowner I Phoenix Trust I that the situation at the site presents a threat to the public heal th and safety to the extent that immediate remedial action is warranted. Therefore I the County consents to the Phoenix Trust as a landowner and therefore a possible responsible party commencing immediate cleanup operations at the site. It is understood that M.P. Vacuum Services will be the primary contractor working under the supervision of EMCON Associates I and pursuant to the EMCON remedial action plan formulated for the site, said plan reviewed and agreed to by the Kern County Heal th Department; however all operations shall follow the existing site safety plan until it is amended. It is further understood that EMCON is in the process of amending the site safety plan and that M.P. may proceed with the crushing and removal of empty drums and containers at the site prior to the County's review of the proposed EMCON amendments. Upon review and approval of the EMCON amendments I M.P. may remove the remaining drums I containers and other materials from the surface. All removal I transportation and disposal of drums will be in conformance with the laws relating to hazardous waste and the County will be notified at least 48 hours before work is to commence. / L~ ~ ---~._---- I r ..

COpy TO EACH PARTY; OC](YES ONO cc: Kuhs & Parker Project fil e ,... 6.0 WORK ZONES AND DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES 6.1 General A site must be controlled to reduce the possibility of exposure to any contami nants present and thei r transport by personnel or equipment from the site. A control system is requi red to assure that personnel and equi pment worki ng on the hazardous waste site are subj ect to appropriate health and safety surveillance. The possibil ity of exposure or translocation of contaminants can be reduced or eliminated in a number of ways, including: · Setting up security or physical barriers to exclude unnecessary personnel from the general area. · Mi nimi zi ng the number of personnel and equi pment on site consistent with effective operations. · Establishing work zones within the site. · Establ i shi ng control poi nts to regul ate access to work zones. · Conducting operations in a manner to reduce the exposure of personnel and equipment. · Minimizing the airborne dispersion of contaminant(s). · Implementing appropriate decontamination procedures. 15 emcon Associates / As work proceeds on this project the Project Manager and/or the On-site Coordinator will make any necessary decisions, or changes in procedures, as the need arises. 6.2 Field Operations Work Areas 6.2.1 Exclusion Zone Work areas (zones) will be established based on antici- pated contamination. Within these prescribed zones, operations will occur utilizing appropriate personal protecti ve equi pment. Movement between areas wi 11 be controll ed at check-poi nts. The future pl anned zones are: · Exclusion Area (contaminated) · Contamination Reduction Area and · Support Area (non-contaminated) For Phase I, these zones will not be required. The Site Safety Officer will establish them prior to the commence- ment of Phase II activities, using the following guide- lines: 1. Exclusion Area The Excl us i on area is the innermost area of three concentric rings and is considered contaminated, dirty or "hot". Within this area, prescribed Level A protection must be worn by any entering personnel. An entry checkpoi nt wi 11 be establ i shed 16 emcon . Associates at the periphery of the Exclusion Area to control the flow of personnel and equipment between con- tinguous zones and to ascertain that the procedures establ i shed to enter and exit the zones are fol- lowed. The Exclusion Area boundary will be established initially based on the presence of the actual wastes or hazardous materials within the area. Subsequent to initial entry and as clean-up proceeds, the boundary will be readj usted based on observations and/or measurements. The boundary will be physically secure and posted. 2. Contamination Reduction Area Between the Exclusion Area and the Support Area is the Contami nat ion Reduction Area. The purpose of this zone is to provide an area to prevent or reduce the trans fer of contami nants whi ch may have been pi eked up by personnel or equi pment returni ng from the exclusion area. All decontamination activitïes occur in this area. The boundary between the Support Area and the Con- tamination Reduction Area is the contamination control 1 ine. Thi s boundary separates the possibily-contaminated area from the clean zone. Entry into the Contamination Reduction Area from the Clean Area must be through an access control poi nt. Personnel enteri ng at thi s stat i on wi 11 be wearing the prescrived personal protective equipment for working in the Contamination Reduction Area. Exiting the Contamination Reduction Area to the clean area requires the removal of any suspected, or 17 emcon Associates known, contaminated personal protective equipment and compliance with decontamination procedures. At the boundary between the Contamination Reduction Area and the Exclusion Area is the hot line and access control station. Typically, entrance into the Exclusion Area requires the wearing of the prescribed Level A personal protective equipment (which is different from Level B personal protective equipment requirements for working in the Contamina- ted Reduction Area). 3. Support Area The support Area is the outermost of three rings and is considered a non-contaminated or clean area. It contains the Command Post (CP) for field operations and other el ements necessary to support site activities. Normal street clothes or Level D work clothes are usually the appropriate apparel within this zone. 6.2.2 Temporary Procedures Full del ineation of the various zones described above is not necessary fOí Phase I activities. However, there is a need to define the support area in order to limit the need for excessive safety and decontamination procedures. Figure 2 identifies the area adjacent to the entrance and the office as the support area. Individuals, equipment and vehicles that only enter this area will be considered free from contamination and need not undergo decon- tamination procedures. The assumption that this area is 18 emcon Rssociates "clean" will be verified by soils analysis and ambient air monitoring at the start of Phase I activities. The rest of the site will be considered potentially con- taminated and individuals and equipment leaving this area will need to undergo decontamination procedures (see Section 6.3). In order to minimize decontamination procedures, vehicles entering the site for pick-up will stay in the support zone. On-site equipment will bring their loads to the edge of the support zone for loading. Preferably the on- si te equi pment wi 11 onl y 1 eave the contami nated area at the end of the project. 19 emcon Rssociates I .1 2: 1 I Warehouse ~ Phase I (S taO in; Area) n------l I \ / I I Support I I Area I / \ I Of flce UNION AVENUE WILLIAMS a WILLIAMS INC· INVESTIGATION a SAFETY PLAN B C Ct£MICALS BAKERSFIELD.

These procedures include the decontami nati on of personnel, pro'tecti ve equi pment, monitoring equipment, clean-up equipment, etc. Unless otherwise demonstrated, everything leaving the site should be considered contaminated and appropriate methods established for decontamination. In general, decontamin- ation at the site consists of rinsing equipment, person- nel, etc., wi th copi ous amounts of water and washi ng same with detergent/water solution. If contaminants are known, then a specific detergent and/or solvent can be used to decontaminate. Disposable protective clothing will be placed in on-site drums for ultimate disposal at a Class I landfill. All decontami nat i on washes and ri nses must be conta i ned so that they too can be properly disposed of. 6.2.2 Decontamination Solution Based on U.S. EPA recommendations for decontamination procedures, the solution for the decontamination will be as foll ows: For every 10 gallons of water, add 4 pounds of sodi um carbonate (soda 1 ime) and 4 pounds of trisodim phosphate, stir until evenly mixed. 21 emcon Associates This solution is designed to react with and neutralize the inorganic acids and to remove the organic hydro- carbons. If contami nants are known then a spec i fi c detergent and/or solvent can be used to decontaminate. The decontamination process uses water and rinse solutions for washing down personnel and equipment. The spent solution, brushes, sponges, containers, stands, etc., used in the decontamination process must, until shown otherwi se, be consi dered contami nated and must be properly disposed of. i.O EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN 7.1 Site Emergency Warning Systems Several warning systems may be utilized depending on the worksite conditions or emergency involved: 1. Verbal communications. 2. Verbal communications assi sted with a bull horn. 3. Verbal communications assisted with a site PA system. 4. Radio communications. 5. Vehicle horns. 6. Portable hand-held compressed gas horns. For Phase I of this project, it is anticipated that only the fi rst two wi 11 be used. Verbal instructions with or without assistance are used to deal with specific incidents. 22 emcon Rssociates Horn signals are used to signify an emergency warning. One long blast is used on-site to signify emergency excavation of the immediate work area to a predetermined location upwind, where a head count wi 11 be taken and further instructions given. Repeated short bl asts are used on-site or from off-site to signify evacuation of all personnel from the site to the hot line where further instructions will be given after a head count is taken. 7.2 Emergency Equipment The following equipment shall be available at the work site: 1. Foam kits. 2. Fire extinguishers - dry chemical. 3. First aid kits (including chemical burn kit). 4. Emergency oxygen kit. 5. Emergency shower kit (pressurized). 6. P.D.I. (personal decontamination trailer). (Phase II et. seq. ) 7. Non-sparking tool kit. 8. Explosive blankets/fire blankets. 9. Litters. 10. Portable two-way radio equipment. Phase II et.seq.)

Appropriate spill cleanup supplies and, equipment. 7.3 General Emergency Procedures In case of an emergency or hazardous situation, the team member that observes this condition shall immediately give the al arm. 1. Upon hearing an alarm, all communications will cease and the member giving the alarm will proceed to give the Project Manager or On-site Coordinator all pertinent information. 2. Actions to be taken will be dictated by the emergency. 3. Power equi pment wi 11 be shut down and operators wi 11 stand by for instruction. 4. Injured personnel will be processed to the Personnel Decontamination Trailer (PDT). 5. In case of a fire, explosion or hazard alarm, individuals will proceed immediately to assigned pre-located safe sites. 24 emcon Associates 6. Upon arrival at the safe sites, a complete head count will be given to Project Manager and individuals will stay at the safe site until the area is secured. 7.4 Personal Injury I f an i nj ury occurs due to an acc i dent or exposure to a hazardous substance, EMCON's Safety Director and the Site Safety Officer will be immediately notified'. The Site Safety Officer will be given all appropriate information concerning the nature and cause of the injury so that treatment prepara- tions can be initiated. The Project Manager will be informed and will investigate the cause of the i nj ury and make any necessary changes in work procedures. The injured person will be transported to the hot line where appropriate first aid and treatment can begin. 7.5 Ambient Monitoring Contingencies 1. When any of the following ambient monitoring readings are encountered, the Site Sa fety Offi cer and Proj ect Manager will be requested to determine the cause and make changes in the work procedures if necessary: â. Combustible vapors in excess of 20 percent LEL. b. Oxygen level below 19.5 percent. c. Organic vapors in excess of 500 ppm. d. Radiation in excess of recorded background levels. e. Any detection of inorganic vapors. 2. When any of the following ambient monitoring readings are encountered, work will stop, all power will shut down, 25 emcon Rssociates and the alarm will be given to evacuate the immediate work area: 1. Combustible vapor in excess of 50 percent LEL. 2. Radiation levels in excess of 2mR/hour. The Site Safety Officer and Project Manager will be informed. The cause of the conditions will be determined and changes in work procedures or practices will be made if appropri ate. 3. When ambient monitoring on the downwind edge of the site indicates higher than background levels of any contamin- ant, the Safety Offi cer and Proj ect Manager wi 11 immed i- ately be requested to determine the cause, make changes to work practi ces or procedures, and if necessary, make changes in site layout (i .e., change the location of the CP, decon area, or Excl us i on Area), warn unprotected personnel to evacuate or don protective equipment, coordinate with local authorities to effect off-site evacuation. 8.0 RECORDKEEPING 8.1 General Recordkeepi ng shall be consi stent wi th OSHA regulations in all respects. The following permanent records will be maintained in both the regional Health and Safety Office and at the site: 1. Respiratory Protection Training Records 2. Respirator Assignment Records 3. Respiratory Protection Medical Evaluations 26 em<on Associates 4. Safety Inspection Reports 5. Personnel Exposure Monitoring Records (spiral or bound permanent log books will be used) 6. OSHA 200 - Current to within 24 hours. 7. Accident reports consi stent with the establ i shed CWM- ENRAC procedures. 8.2 Medical Records Permanent medical records should be maintained in confidential files by the regional contract physician and by each individual's company Health and Safety Manager. 27 emcon Rssociates The project site contains an estimated 6,000-7,000 drums and chemical containers. These drums are in various con- ditions, ranging from full to empty, some are clearly labeled while others are not, and some are physically intact while other are damaged. In addition to the drums, the site has several large storage tanks, and some chemical processing equipment. At various locations at the site, there is evidence of spills (discolored soils), and some spills may have migrated a short distance off site. In addition to chemical containers, the site has two buildings. One is a small open sided structure formerly used as a diesel engine repair shop. The other is a warehouse, and contains unopened packages of chemicals, most of which are in a re-useable form. B.C. Chemicals handled a wide range of materials. Appendix I gives their product list, together with some relevant Materials Safety Data Sheets. It should be assumed that any, and all, of the listed chemicals may be encountered on site. The project is expected to comprise the following phases Phase I: Sale of useable chemicals, return of some drums to their original suppl ier, and crushing and disposal of empty drums. 3 emcon Associates I - Phase II: Segregation of remaining drumst identification or characterization of material remaining in drumst development of disposal optionst followed by final disposal activities. Phase III: Initiation of a hydrogeological investigation to assess environmental damage and soil and water con- tamination. This phase will be concurrent with Phase lIt and may lead to the preparation of a Remedial Action Plan (RAP). Phase IV: Execution of the RAP. 1.3 Assignment of Responsibilities 1.3.1 Key Personnel The following individuals are responsible for field implementation of the Health and Safety Plan Henry Cruse proj ect Manager Harry Van Den Berg Site Safety Officer and On-site Coordinator Pat Lacey EMCON Safety Director 4 emcon Rssociates 1.3.2 Assignments The project Manager and On-site Coordinator will be responsible for field implementation of the Health and Safety Plan. This will include field supervision, enforcing safe work practices and ensuring the use of protective equipment, and communicating modified site safety requirements to all site personnel. The Site Safety Officer, under the direction of the Safety Director, is responsible for coordination of the Health and Safety Plan. His duties include: conducting routine safety inspections to identify and correct any unsafe conditions; conducting air monitoring; reviewing results of air monitoring performed by others; conducting site safety training sessions and crew briefings; decid- ing the protection levels for protective equipment for specific operations; auditing site safety recordkeeping performance; and servi ng as 1 i ai son to regul atory agency representatives on matters related to occupational safety and health. 2.0 MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE 2.1 Base-line Health Monitoring All EMCON site personnel have successfully completed a preplacement or periodic/update medical examination prior to their assignment to the project. The medical examination consisted of an occupational and medical history, physical examination, vision testing, audiometry, and the following biological screening: 5 emcon Rssociates 1. Chest x- ray. 2. Complete blood count (CBC) with differential and hematocrit . 3. Urinalysis - microscopic. 4. Spirometry - lung function testing, including FEV1' and FVC. 5. Blood chemistry screen - SMAC series. 6. Serum heavy metals. 7. Serum cholinesterase levels. All other personnel visiting the site should consider the advisability of a similar base-line medical examination. 2.2 Emergency Medical Treatment In the event of an employee lnJury or illness requiring emergency medical care beyond the first-aid trained personnel, the following resources will be utilized as appropriate: Bakersfield City Police California Highway Patrol Kern County Fire Department Kern County Sheriff Department Hall IS Ambulance Mercy Hospi tal 3.0 SITE ACCESS (805)327-7111 (805)327-1069 (805) 324-6551 (805)327-3392 (805) 327 -4111 (805)327-3371 All gates at the project site are to be kept locked, unless work activity requires them to be open. The project site is secured by a 6-foot chain link fence, which must be maintained intact. 6 emcon Associates Access to the site must be arranged through the Project Manager or the Site Safety Officer. Both can be reached at: (818)247-1260 For major activities the Project Manager will require 48 hours notice of intent to access the site. LocallYt a key to the site is available from: Mr. Robert Williams Williams & Williamst Inc.t 404 Haberfelde Building 1706 Chester Avenue Bakersfield (805)323-7933 but its use must be restricted to authorized individuals only. All visitors to the site must be accompanied. It is expressly forbidden to enter the site alone. 4.0 EMPLOYEE AND VISITOR INFORMATION . Personnel should be cautioned to infonn each other of subj ecti ve symptoms of chemical exposure such as headaches t dizzinesst nausea, and irritation of the respiratory tract, eyes, or skin. . No excessive facial hair which interferes with a satisfactory fit of the mask-to-face seal, will be allowed on personnel required to wear respiratory protective equipment. 7 emcon Rssociotes · All respiratory protection selection, use, and maintenance shall meet the requirements of established procedures, 29 CFR 1910.134, 8 CAC 5144, and recognized consensus standards (AIHA, ANSI, NIOSH). · Heat Stress Control: Adverse climatic conditions, heat and cold, are important considerations in planning and conducting site operations. The effects of ambient temperature can cause physical discom- fort, loss of efficiency, personal lnJury, and increased accident probability. In particular, heat stress due to pro- tective clothing decreasing body ventilation is an important factor (see Table 2). One or more of the following recommen- dations will help reduce heat stress. Their applicability is dependent on evaluating the climatic conditions specific to the operations. · Provide plenty of liquids to replace lost Employees should replace water and salts lost Use either a 0.1% salt water solution, more foods, or commercial mixes such as Gatorade. body fl ui ds. from sweating. heav il y salted The commerc i a 1 mixes may be preferable for employees on low sodium diets. · Establish a work schedul,e that will provide sufficient rest periods for cooling down. This may require shifts of workers when wearing suits and SCBA (See Table 1). · Cooling devices, such as vortex coolers and cool vests, may be worn under suits. 8 emcon Associates . Establish work regimes consistent with the ACGIH Guidelines given in Table 1, with consideration given to the recommended modifications of the WBGT Index as provided in Table 2. . To assist in determining the bOdy's recuperative ability to excessive heat, one or more of the following monitoring techniques should be used as a screening mechanism for deter- ml n1 ng recovery. Monitori ng of personnel shoul d commence at least when the ambient temperature at any time during the day is 75°F or above. Frequency of monitoring should increase as the ambi ent temperature increases or as monitori ng i ndi cates slow recovery rates (after every work period above 85°). a. Heart Rate (HR) should be measured by the radial pulse during 30 seconds as early as possible in the resting peri od. The HR at the begi nni ng of the rest peri od should not exceed 110 beats per minute. If the HR is in excess of the above value, the next work period should be shortened by 10 mi nute (or 33 percent) whil e the 1 ength of the rest period stays the same. If the pulse rate is in excess of 110 beats per minute at the beginning of the next rest period, the following work cycle should be further shortened by 33 percent. 9 emcon Associates TABLE 1 ACGIH HEAT EXPOSURE THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES* WBGT INDEX WORK LOAD WORK-REST REGIMEN Ll GHT MODERATE HEAVY °C of °C of °C of Continuous Work 30.0 86 26.7 80 25.0 77 75% Work - 25% Rest, Each Hour 30.6 87 28.0 82 25.9 79 50% Work - 50% Rest, Each Hour 31.4 88 29.4 85 27.9 82 25% Work - 75% Rest, Each Hour 32.2 90 31.1 88 30.0 86 * Higher heat exposures than shown are permissible if the workers have been undergoing medical surveillance and it has been established that they are more tolerant to working in heat than the average worker. 10 emcon Associates TABLE 2 MODIFICATION OF THRESHOLD WGBT2 MODIF ICATIONS3 FACTORS WGBT (OC) WCBT (0 F) l.

Oral temperature (OT) at beginning of the rest period should not exceed 99.7°F (corresponding to 100.4°F BT). If OT exceeds 99.7°F, the next work period should be shortened by 10 minutes (or 33 percent) while the 1 ength of the rest peri od stays the same. However, if the OT is in excess of 99.7°F at the beginning of the next rest period, the following work cycle should be further shortened by 33 percent. OT should be measured again at the end of the rest period to make sure that OT decreased below 99.JOF. c. Body Water Loss (BWL) due to sweating during the work day should be measured by the difference between body weight in the morning before work and body weight in the evening after finishing work. The clothing worn should be simil ar to both weighings; preferably the worker should be nude. The scale shsould be accurate to ± 1/2 pound. BWL should not exceed 1.5 percent of total body weight. If BWL exceeds 1.5 percent, the worker should be instructed to increase hi s daily intake of fl uids by the amount of total deficit (morning body weight minus evening body weight). The ideal condition is to maintain the body fluids at a constant level during the whole work day. This requires the replacement of the salt lost in the sweat as well. This can be achieved by eating salted meals during the day and/or drinking fluids containing 0.1 percent salt. 12 emcon Associates 5.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT 5.1 Introduction It is important that personal protective equipment and safety requi rements be appropri ate to protect against the potential hazards at the site. Protecti ve equi pment will be sel ected based on the contaminant type(s), concentration(s), and routes of entry. In situations where the type of material sand possibilities of contact are unknown or the hazards are not clearly identifiable, a more subjective determination must be made of the personal protective equipment for initial safety. The appropriate level of protection shall be determined prior to the initial entry on-site based on best available informa- ti on. Subsequent i nformati on may suggest changes in the original level selected. Descriptions of basic levels of protection are given in Appendix II. 5.2 Identification of Levels of Protection Table 3.0 identifies the levels of protection for activities expected to be performed during Phase I of this project. Subsequent phases may require different safety procedures and these will be identified later. 13 emcon Rssociates TABLE 3 PHASE I LEVELS OF PROTECTION (See Appendix II) Act i vity Level of Protection Modifications Walk through inspections Level 0 Street clothes with di sposabl e plastic over-shoe is an alternative Handling undamaged chemi ca 1 supplies Level 0 Hard hats and gloves needed Handling empty drums Level C Face mask to have organic vapor and acid gas cart- ridge Sampling & field testing Level B contents of drums Sampl i ng soil s Level C 14 emcon Rssociates e TRANSITMIX Packaging 50 gallon bbl.

FORMULATED PRODUCTS FOR SPECIFIC APPLICATION Page 1 8 e DATA SHEET e 05-100 OXYGEN SCAVENGER FOR DRilLING FLUIDS AND WATER TREATING Description: OS-100 is a 52% by weight ammonium bisulfite solution and is an oxygen scavenging agent for drilling fluids and other water systems requiring oxygen removal. Typical Properties: Appearance Density I Lb/Gal. Sulfite % pH - 50% Solution Clear Ught Yellow Uquid 10.8 55 4.5 Suggested Uses: OS-100 may be substituted directly for catalyzed sodium sulfite as an oxygen scavenger. It is a stable solution and being a liquid, there are no dissolving and plugging problems. Use of OS-1 00 in drilling fluids and other water treatment uses allows protection from Oxygen corrosion of drill pipe, pumps and other metals in contact with the media. 08-1 00 should be added continuously directly at the pump suction utilizing a chemical injection pump. Theoretical treating ratio is slightly less than 9 parts of OS-1 00 per 1 part of oxygen. Pumping rate is dependent upon the oxygen concentration present. A minimum of 100 ppm excess sulfite is recommended. In drilling fluids, the base line corrosion rate may be established by running drill pipe corrosion rings in the drill string prior to commencing treatment. The coupons should be run in the drill collar cross-over sub, and the kelly saver sub. If only one coupon is to be run, it should be placed in the drill collar crossover sub. Rings should be run a minimum of 50 hours (1 00 hours is desired), Page 1 9 e e BC MICROBIOCIDES 5 gallons 55 gallons B.C. Microbiocide 1000 B.C. Microblocide 2000 B.C. Microbiocides, available as B.C. 1000, a 25-per cent aqueous solution of glutaral- dehyde, and B.C. 2000, a 50-per cent aqueous solution of glutaraldehyde, are useful as preservatives and in formulating broad spectrum industrial biocides. B.C. Microbiocides have many important features including: · EP A Registration · Effectiveness against a broad spectrum of microorganisms · Aqueous solutions which are easily and uniformly diluted and mixed · Ability to be easily neutralized for disposal · Effectiveness against aerobic and anaerobic organisms ·Compatible with anionic, nonionic, cationic surfactants · Do not contain or release formaldehyde · Lower vapor pressure than formaldehyde · Diluted product easily analyzed by gas chromatography · Not affected by the presence of hard water STORAGE AND HANDLING OF B.C. MICROBIOCIDES OIL WELL MICROBIOCIDE B.C. Microbiocide 1000 is an aqueous solution of Glutaraldehyde, at 25% (by weight) concentration. It is slightly corrosive to common materials of construction, such as steel, aluminum, and galvanized iron; the corrosion rates are low (equipment would not be severly damaged) but contamination of the product will result if contact is prolonged. Materials which have been tested and found to be suitable are stainless steel, certain fiberglass-reinforced plastics, and polypropylene or polyethylene. Types 304 or 316 stainless steel are suitable. Of the plastics tested, a polyester ("Atlac" 382) and a vinyl ester ("Derakane" 470) were resistant, but an epoxy showed some adverse effect after prolonged exposure to Glutaraldehyde. Uned steel containers are not recommended because iron contamination can result, due to pinholes in the coating. NOTE: Storage tanks, lines, pumps, valves, etc., must not be made of iron or steel. Even trace iron contamination (one ppm or less) can have an adverse effect on the long-term stability of the product. The 25% solution freezes at about -10°C (14°F), Thus, if outside storage is planned, heated and insulated facilities will usually be required. However, the storage stability of Glutaraldehyde is very dependent on storage temperature and storage at temperatures below 100°F is recommended. Preferred locations for a storage tank might be either indoors or underground; drums could be stored in a warehouse or, during hot weather, in a shaded storage area where they are not directly exposed to the sun. If B.C. Microbiocide 1000 is to be heated, warm water is the preferred heating medium, in order to insure that the product will not be exposed to high temperatures. It is suggested that water temperatures should not exceed about 40-50oC (100-1 20°F) and temperature controls could be set so that the average temperature of the stored liquid is only about 20°C. This should insure a reasonably long storage life for the product. Piping and valves can be of polypropylene or polyethylene or stainless steel. A stainless steel centrifugal pump is suitable for transfer service. Asbestos can be used for gaskets and packing. NOTE: If B.C. Microbiocide is to be diluted, use only distilled/deionized water that is low in iron, calcium, and magnesium content. 20 -~ e e UCARCIDE 1: CHEMICALS ..

AMAZING 1 gallon 5 gallons ECOLOGICALLY SAFE: The ingredients in B.C. Amazing products are bio-degradable - they will break down into natural components without harming the environment. There are no phosphates, enzymes, or other chemical ingredients known to cause pollution, in any B.C. Amazing product. ECONOMICAL: B.C. Amazing products are concentrated. That means you use less - a little goes a long way. There are no "fillers" that serve only to bulk up a product and make it look like you are getting more than you are. EFFECTIVE: There are no better products of their kind on the market than B.C. Amazing products. Because they are different, because they do not contain some of the harmful ingredients many people are used to, when they clean their stoves with B.C. Amazing and find there are no dangerous fumes and no skin irritation. The effectiveness of products as good as B.C. Amazing can be unexpected and surprising. When the results are so far superior to most other products, it takes some getting used to. So suggest to every customer that directions be followed carefully, rather than using B.V. Amazing products "the way they've used that kind of product before!" ' VERSA TIUTY vs OVERKILL: Although we use the term "all-purpose cleaner" on the label of B.C. Amazing, since that has become more or less the generic term for the type of cleaner it represents, there really is no such thing as an "all-purpose" cleaner. So-called all-purpose products tend toward "overkill". They cater to man's search for the easiest way, rather than the best way. But no liquid cleaner designed to be used for scrubbing floors can be made powerful enough to remove stubborn stains, with being too powerful for gentler tasks. That's why B.C. Amazing products have been carefully formulated to provide safe, effective, and appropriate results for the task to be done according to how they are used. The versatility of B.C. Amazing products lets YOU decide how strong a cleaner YOU need for each job. . The label on B.C. Amazing describes this product as "a modern, soap less product made from a balanced formula of organic ingredients, completely free of skin and eye irritants". Let's look at each term in the name of this remarkable personal cleaner and see why we can make the claims we do for it: SOAPLESS: There are no alkalies, no phosphates, no soda ash, no artificial chemicals, or other harsh, irritating or polluting ingredients in B.C. Amazing. It will leave behind no soap scum or other residual waste. It rinses away cleanly and completely without drying the skin or leaving residues or washed surfaces. ORGANIC: The ingredients in B.C. Amazing are organic, that is, composed of the same types of carbon molecules that make up natural living matter. Thus, they are not only mild, but also biodegradable - capable of breaking down and returning to the earth, without endangering any living thing. CONCENTRATE: A little bit of B.C. Amazing goes a long way. That's why we offer a mixing bottle to go with it. All directions on the label are for B.C. Amazing diluted half and half with water - then measured in teaspoonfuls! That's real concentrated action . and real economy for any "personal touch" cleaning job! 26 IMPORTANT: To preparA.c. Amazing, fill a mixing bottle h' way with water first; then add the Concentrate; stir or mix gently. TO DEMONSTRATE B.C. AMAZING: Always use B.C. Amazing according to directions, in a No. 501 Jiffy Dispenser with No. 502 Flip-top on the 16 oz. size. ECONOMY: Point out that even after dilution, only a very small amount of B.C. Amazing is needed for most ordinary jobs. GENTLENESS: Place a drop of B.C. Amazing from the mixing bottle into the hand of your prospect. Ask her to rub it in as she would a hand lotion. As she does, explain that B.C. Amazing is gentle enough to use in bathing an infant, and that in addition to cleaning, it actually acts much like a hand lotion in moisturing and conditioning the skin. Rinse the B.C. Amazing off with a damp washcloth or under a tap. NON-FLAMMABILITY: Remove the cap from a bottle of B.C. Amazing and wave a match back and forth over the opening. Point out that the fumes do not ignite. Next, extinguish the match by dropping a bit of B.C. Amazing onto the flame. (A wooden match provides a better demonstration than a paper match.) EFFECTIVENESS: Mark the back of your hand with lipstick and with a ball point pen, then massage in a dab of B.C. Amazing. Point out how the two difficult-to-remove blots immediately begin to be lifted from the skin by the B.C. Amazing handkerchief, then. . . . . . show the handkerchief stained with the lipstick and ink to your prospect. Rub the stain in for better effect. Explaining that the dab of B.C. Amazing you cleaned your hand with is still enough to clean the handkerchief, dip the handkerchief under a faucet, squeeze it clean, and display the spotless handkerchief to your prospect. Point out that B.C. Amazing is harmless to fine fabrics. Smear a steak of shoe polish, paint or grease across your, palm (if you want to let this dry, you can demonstrate the match test or ask the prospect to feel B.C. Amazing for herself at this point). Point out that this technique provides excellent protection for the hands while doing a job of painting, repairing greasy machinery, gardening, etc. Finally, rinse your hands in a bowl of water or under a faucet and show how the "invisible gloves" have helped protect your hands. AUTO WASHING: Mix 2 capfuls of B.C. Amazing to a bucket of water. To remove tar from any auto finish, use the Jiffy Sprayer with B.C. Amazing, medium or strong solution, then wash with B.C. Amazing to avoid stripping wax from the finish. SUGGESTED DEMONSTRATION AIDS: Jiffy Dispenser with Pump; bowl of water; damp washcloth; handkerchief; lipstick; etc. You'll want to change or add demonstrations as you gain experience, of course - but always practice before you use them on a prospect. 27 I'P. W. 101 PARAFFIN DISPER.NT 5 gallons 55 gallons BC P.W.101 Paraffin Dispersant BC PoW. 101, an effective water-dispersible paraffin-removal additive, is a high-flash, low-odor hydrocarbon solvent-dispersant. This blend helps solubilize and disperse paraffin and asphaltic deposits. A water-external dispersion made with BC P.W. 101 is an excellent substitute for hot-oil treatments, especially where oil spills and contamination are critical. Most paraffin dispersants do not function in aqueous systems as well as BC P. W. 1 01 nor do they have as effective paraffin-disolving properties. APPLICATIONS Well bore and Tubing Cleanout BC P. W. 1 01 can be dispersed in water or acid to clean tubular goods of: paraffin and asphaltenes allowing resumption of normal production, paraffins, asphaltenes, and other hydrocarbons prior to other stimulation treatments. BC P.W. 101 can also be used in aromatic solvents and/or mutual solvents to help water-wet solids as the heavy hydrocarbons are solubilized by the solvents. The proper concentration of BC P.W. 101 to be added to water for optimum cleaning depends primarily on the amount of paraffin present, the hardness of the deposit, the adhesiveness of the deposit, and the temperature at which the paraffin is deposited. A general recommendation is: Cold Water (below 75°F)- Use 10% by volume of BC P.W. 101 Warm Water (75 - 1 OOOF)- Use 5%by volume of BC PoW. 101 Hot Water (1 00 - 150°F) - Use 2% by volume of BC P.W. 101 Very Hot Water (150 - 200°F) - Use 1 % by volume of BC PoW. 101 To compute volume: Diameter of casing Standing fluid in casing Feet of perforation in casing CAUTION When used for tubing cleanout, the water temperature should never be hotter than the formation face because any paraffin that has melted in the treated water will re-deposit on the colder formation causing damage. Flow Une Cleanout BC P.W. 101 can be dispersed in water to clean flow lines. The above treat rates apply to flow-line cleanout. However, the water should be heated to as high a temperature as practical for most efficient removal. If the flow line is long and/or cooled by water (offshore), it may be necessary to increase the concentration of BC PoW. 101 to 5~,'Ó. BC P.W. 101 will work in cold water at higher concentrations. If the water starts off hot then cools the BC P. W. 1 01 will keep the removed solids dispersed. NOTE If large amounts of paraffin are deposited it may be necessary to use several lower-temperature treatments so as not to remove too large an amount of paraffins at one time, thereby physically blocking system. MIXING PROCEDURES BC P.W. 101 can be added to any aqueous fluis and a uniform dispersion can be achieved with only a small amount of agitation. If left static. the dispersion of BC P. W. 1 01 in water is stable up to an hour. Reagitation prior to pumping the fluid is recommended. SOLUBILITY Soluble in hydrocarbons Dispersible in fresh water, salt water, acids 28 e e This product is available in bulk shipments and 55 gallon NR drums. Keep drum openings closed to prevent product contamination and evaporation. BC P.W. 101 contains no organic halides, heavy metals, or other substances known to be harmful to process equipment or refinery catalysts. No special storage and handling precaution is required. Avoid prolonged and repeated skin contact. In case of contact with skin or eyes, flush exposed area with water. PROCEDURE Batch feed BC P.W. 101 per general recommendation at pOint "B". Let it sit for approximately 24 hours. Be sure BC P.W. 101 is completely mixed with fluid in well. Put well back on the line. BC P.W. 101 will perform an effective cleaning function throughout the entire system including all flow lines and' valves. To eliminate future paraffin buildup. a daily maintenance program should be followed. Inject at point "A" 2 quarts of BC P.W. 101 every 24 hours per 100 barrels of produced oil. The simple and inexpensive procedures described above will virtually eliminate costly down time due to paraffin cake buildup. 29 · e e _..__ _0 .____ .__-- COREXIT CHEMICALS MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET PROOUCT -- (ApP,oll«l bl' V.s.

Soluble in hot or cold water and can be rinsed off with water leaving a streak· free surface. Safe to use because it is a non-explosive water solution. Non·corrosive to metal and concrete surfaces. Economical to use. How to use B C Chemical Three-Way Degreaser For medium to heavy deposits of oil and grime, dilute all purpose cleaner with 3 to 10 parts of water. For very heavy deposits of oil, grease or dirt, mix concentrate with 3 to 10 parts of kerosene or diesel oil. Application Methods B C Chemical Three-Way Degreaser may be applied by wiping, brushing or spraying on the soiled surfaces. The product may also be used in dip tanks or circulated through equipment to remove oily deposits. Vertical surfaces may be cleaned by mixing 4 parts of B C Chemical Three-Way Degreaser with 4 parts of kerosene and 1 part of water. This mixture clings to vertical surfaces until rinsed with water. Handling B C Chemical Three-Way Degreaser is an alkaline solution and contains detergents, Care should be taken to avoid splashing product in the eyes. In case of eye contact, flush eyes with plenty of water. Packaging 5 gallons and 55 gallon drums Page 1 3 e e CT5-1 CLEANER In the B. C. Chemical line of cleaner products, this high-alkaline detergent is designed for use in pressure spray or soak type bottle washers. Well adaptable for heavy-duty cleaning of product lines, pasteurizers I mixers, cookers and other processing equipment. CTS-1 Cleaner is a blend of alkalies, organic chelates, sequestrants, wetting agents and other ingredients. These combine to provide a full range of important advantages, such as: A complete bottle washing material. It's very effective in automatic bottle washing machines of all types, including high pressure spray machines. A thorough cleaning agent for spray washing of reusable plastic milk containers. The high alkaline content provides germicidal protection. CTS-1 provides lubricity to reduce friction and wear in bottle washers. Sequestrants prevent the deposition of scale on bottles and washers. Organic chelates aid in the control of aluminate scale, caused by dissolved aluminum foil-labels. The best in cleaning results from high rinsability. In food plants. CTS-1 is a heavy-duty cleaner for product pipelines, juice pasteurizers, vegetable cookers, and other stainless steel processing equipment. How and where to use CT5-1 Cleaner Bottle Washing: Concentration of CTS-1 depends on the caustic requirements of regulatory bodies in the locality. 1 oz. per 1 gal. of CTS-1 equals. 71 % cuastic by weight; or .7 oz./gal. equals 1/2% caustic by weight. When a code requires 3% caustic, this can be met by using a solution of CTS-1 at 4-1/4 ounces per gallon. Food Processing Equipment: a 2 to 4 oz.igal. solution at 1600 - 1800F, will handle most jobs. Plants with central alkali system: for all phases of cleaning operations, the central reservoir should contain 4-1/4 oz./gal. to handle bottle washing, heavy-duty cleaning and circulation cleaning requirements. CTS-1 is especially useful in breweries, bottling plants, dairies and food canneries. NOTE: Uke any alkaline material, CTS-1 should be added slowly to cold water while stirring - never to hot water either for original makeup or for upkeep. The usual precautions for handling alkaline materials and solutions should be observed. Page 1 4 e AST-1 e Cleaning Compound AST·1 is a formulated product that quickly and easily removes soils and stains that ordinary cleaners do not. AST-1 is non-toxic, will not cause burns on the skin; has no irritating fumes; is non-corrosive; safe on all plastics and paints; and on electrical insulation.

(level A protec- tive clothing material selected should be based on chemical per- meability and resistivity. For example, suit material may be rapidly permeable to certain chemicals in high concentrations). Level A protection 1S the minimum level recommended for initial site entries, until the hazards have been defined and the appro- priate personal protective equipment is utilized. All personnel working within the immediate vicinity of the exca- vation area will be required to be in level A protection. II. level B Level B protection should be selected when the highest level of respiratory protection is needed but a lesser level of skin protec- tion is required. Level B protection will be required in all work areas within the contaminated zone other than the excavation area which will require Level A protection. 1 e ~ e II I. Level C Level C protection should be selected only when the airborne contaminant type(s) and concentration(s) are known; the criteria for using air-purifying respirators are met; and the exposed skin in the few unprotected areas (i.e., neck and back of head) is unlikely to cause any adverse health effects. IV. Level 0 Level 0 is the basic work uniform. Level 0 protection should only be selected when the work area is positively identified as having no toxic hazards.

Pacing items for this program are: A. Preliminary Data Gathering B. Field Investigation Including drum profiling C. Laboratory Analysis D. Final Data Reduction and Report 4 weeks 6 weeks 3 weeks 3 weeks The schedule is also dependant on the assumptions outlined in the program being verified in the field. 32 e e 2.1.2 Regional Hydrogeology Pub 1 i shed data on the reg i ona 1 geology and hyd rogeo logy wi 11 be researched. Typical sources include publications of the U.S. Geological Survey, records and publications of the State Department of Water Resources (DWR) and local authorities (for example Kern County Water Agency, Improvement District No.4). From the data so obtained, a narrative description of the surface and subsurface geology and hydrogeology will be pre- pared. Included in the description will be appropriate draw- ings, geologic cross sections, and maps. 2.1.3 History of Chemical Usage A wide range of chemical s were handled on thi s site. Appen- dix A lists the products that were sold by B.C. Chemicals, and inaddition to these, there may have been compounds used in formulations, and/or intermediaries and by-products. The former owner of B.C. Chemical s wi 11 be interviewed to establish the overall history of the site, and to identify any additional chemicals that should be included in the listing. To the extent that former employees of B.C. Cherni cal s can be reached, they too will be interviewed. 8 e e 2.1.4 Disposal Activities and Spills While conducting the interviews proposed above, a history of disposal activities and spills will also be obtained. To the extent that thi s hi story may be sparse or non-exi stent, an inventory of applicable environmental permits will be obtained, and agency records searched for notices of violation or similar records. A narrative description will be prepared including, where possible, quantities and characteristics of liquid and solid wastes, as well as spills. 2.1.5 Sus~ected Contamination Areas , Since the PI has only consisted of walk through inspections, there is currently no analytical data available on suspected soil and ground-water contamination. There is significant surface staining in several areas, both on-site and off-site. These areas will be defined in develop- ing the site plot plan (see Section 2.1) and definition of extent of contami nati on wi 11 be an obj ecti ve of the sampl i ng plan presented in Section 6 below. 2.1.6 Past Remedial Actions ,--- As far as is known, the only known remedial action that has occurred, or might occur prior to implementation of the RI, is the removal of salvageable chemicals. The extent to which this has occurred, quantities, identities and final disposi- tion, will be documented and verified. 9 e e 2.2 Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QA/QC) Plan 2.2.1 Sampling QA/QC Prior to field entry a QA/QC plan for sampling soils, waters and drums wi 11 be prepared for review and approval by Kern County Health Department (CHD). As a minimum, this will include: · Equipment calibration and maintenance procedures. · Sample collection procedures. · Chain-of-custody procedures. · Sample preservation procedures. Until more site characteri zati on has been carri ed out, it is not possible to specify precise methodologies. However, generic guidelines will be used. A typical example is given in Appendix C. 2.2.2 QA/QC Aspects of Laboratory Analysis All samples will be sent to a State approved and certified laboratory for analysis. Standard methodologies will be used, as appropriate, using the following protocols given in Table 1.0. The 1 aboratory QA/QC pl an wi 11 adhere to the requi rements of Section 3.5.2.d of the California Site Mitigation Decision Tree. 10 e e TABLE 1.0 RECOMMENDED AND REQUIRED SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL METHODS CAC, TITLE 22, ARTICLE 11 1.

This plan will be implemented and updated to cover specific activities that will be carried out during the RI. These include: · drum sampling and characterization · exploratory soil borings · equipment decontamination and dismantling · removal and disposal of chemicals and drums For each area the p1 an wi 11 address the fo11 owi ng issues in detail: · protective equipment · training · on-site monitoring · base-line health surveillance 2.3.2 Community Safety The site safety plan revisions will address community safety issues such as the possibility of off-site dispersal of hazardous or toxic materials. Issues to be addressed in more detail include: · site access control · off-site air monitoring · contingency planning 12 e e 2.4 Community Relations and Notification As part of the Remedial Investigation, a Community Relations and Notification Plan will be prepared.. This plan will address the following items: A. Public notification via any and all of the following techniques: · newsletters · community meetings · project reviews · technical briefings · telephone hotline B. Desirability of an information repository. If warranted, a central depository will be designated either at a local public library, or some other neighborhood facility such as a high school. C. Public meetings. If public awareness and concern warrants, public meetings will, be held, either at specific critical points during remedial' action, or on a routine regular basis. Information will be disseminated via graphic displays, slide presentations, and technical briefings designed to translate potentially complex technical information in terms understandable by lay people. 13 ~ ./ ----- , 2.5 Sampling Plan Figure 4 shows a preliminary environmental assessment of the site, based on a walk through inspection. The sampling plan must address the following issues: A. Nature and type of surface contamination. B. Extent and nature of soil contamination. C. Extent and nature of potential ground-water contamination. D. Nature, type and quantity of residual chemical s contained in drums, tanks and equipment on site. 2.5.1 Surface Sampling 2.5.1.1 Dirt Piles Three piles of dirt are present on site. These piles were created by scraping the superficial soil into piles by means of a bull dozer. The soil s do not appear to be highly hazardous and do not appear to require special precautions in handling. If these piles have not been removed during preliminary site mitigation, the soils will be sampled and analyzed. Representative samples will be obtained by hand coring and mixing the cores to obtain a representative sample. These samples destined for inorganic analysis will be placed in plastic bags, labelled and delivered to a State certified laboratory for analysis. Chain-of-custody pro- cedures will be used throughout. Samples for organic and 14 e e /. /r{Z :. >' A-?P fl.ö V ~_ - ':) b. 7 o o ,C; /0 /1 /2 Iiä -7 ..,t e wo £ Ie..

Final disposal modes include: · sale as usable chemicals · on-site treatment for hazard reduction and/or volume reduction · crushing and disposal of empty drums · disposal of full and partially full drums, with or without over-packing Table 4 shows the type of profiling necessary for each type of situation that might be required. Parallel testing of the contents of the tanks on the site will also be needed. Based on the profiling, suitable disposal modes will be finalized and submitted for approval. ~.. 29 e Potential Disposal Mode Salvage for re-sale. On-site treatment for hazard and volume reduction Non-hazardous materials - [potentially designated wastes] Unknown [potentially hazardous wastes requiring Class I disposal]. e TABLE 4 DRUM PROFI LING Profiling Required Full, sealed drums, clearly identifiable as unused chemical stock. Acids and alkalis, need pH deter- mination and anion identification by qualitative analysis. Strong brines and crystalline neutral salts. Need pH and qualitative anion determination. Test for legal definition of hazardousness (explosive, toxic, flammable and/or corrosive). Chemically profile to classify nature of toxicity [hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, pesticides, etc.]. 30 e e 2.5.5 Surface Water Run-off As indicated elsewhere, some uncontrolled storm water run-off occurs at this site. If a temporary mitigation plan is approved (submitted 12/26/85) and impl emented, thi s probl em will be controlled at the time the RI is implemented. The sampling planned under Section 2.5.1 above, should detect any off-site contamination that might have occurred from historic discharges. 2.5.6 Air Quality As ~art of the RI an assessment of the possibility of contam- inant migration via the air pathway will be made. This assessment will address both current site conditions and planned or possible remedial activities. The assessment will address the followin items: . Potential for release of noxious fumes from either damaged drums, from chemical transfer operations and on- site treatment operations. . Potential for release of potentially contaminated dust from wi nd corrosi on and uncontroll ed excavations and/or soil s handl i ng. Assessment will include nature and quantity of potential toxic air releases, as well as identification of populations at risk. 31 e Approximate direction ~round - wattr flow 00 Jfea . -OIRr OVER A/C ~ ---------- OFFI CE ~ONCRErE~ WAREHOUSE MOTEL AND COFFEE SHOP "- CHEW I CAL GoteJ 8 Sfora91 tank TREATMENT SumP-EJ Di...1 pump~ --OIRr__ LEAS ED WAREHOUSE '- OIRr_ WILLIAMS ~ WILl.IAWS, INC.
