1.0 INTRODUCTION
Groundwater Technology, Inc. has been contracted by ARCO Products Company to conduct
assessment activities their facility no. 5365. The site is located at 4010 Wible Road in Bakersfield,
California (Figures 1 and 2). The purpose of the assessment is to determine the extent of hydrocarbons
in soil beneath the former tanks and dispensers as requested by the City of Bakersfield (letter of
December 7, 1993). This work plan outlines site background, proposed assessment procedures,
sampling protocol, and worker safety considerations. Methodology for field work to be performed is
outlined in Appendix A. A site-specific safety plan is presented in Appendix B.
2.0 BACKGROUND
A preliminary assessment was performed at the facility on July 30, 1993. The assessment consisted of
two soil borings drilled near the fill ends of the tanks and one boring in the middle of the proposed tank
location (Figure 2). Total depth of the borings was 20 to 30 feet. Benzene and TPHG were not detected
in the any of the soil samples collected. Toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene isomers were detected in
some samples from the boring near the former tanks. No analytes were detected in the deepest sample
from each boring. Table 1 summarizes the analytical results of these soil samples.
In August 1993, underground storage tanks and associated piping were removed (GTI, 1993). Soil
samples were collected beneath the former tanks and piping at locations selected by Mr. Ralph Huey of
the Bakersfield City Fire Department. Detected concentrations of benzene and TPHG ranged from 0.008
to 95 mgjkg, and 17 to 9,900 mgjkg, respectively. The highest benzene and TPH concentrations were
detected in the sample from beneath the eastern fuel dispenser of the middle island. The highest
benzene and TPHG concentrations detected in samples from the tank pit, 23 and 6,600 mgjkg, were
from the 6-foot deep sample under the westernmost tank. Concentrations of those analytes at 6 feet
below the other two tanks were comparatively low. Laboratory results are summarized in Table 2 and
in Figure 2.
3.0 GEOLOGY/HYDROGEOLOGY
ARCO facility no. 5365 is located in the southwest portion of Bakersfield. The approximate elevation of
the facility is 372 feet above sea level. The site is located on the alluvial plain of the Kern River.

Topography in the region is flat, and no natural bodies of water adjoin the site. The station is located in
a commercial area and is approximately 3,000 feet east-southeast of the nearest school.
The site overlies alluvial-fan deposits of the Kern River (Figure 3). Sediments underlying the region
consist of fluvial deposits including silt, sand and gravel. Sediments encountered during drilling activities
at the site consist primarily of medium- to coarse-grained sand and silty sand, with local lenses of sandy
silt and clayey sand.
An unconfined aquifer is present below the site at a depth of approximately 185 feet (Figure 4). The
gradient of this aquifer is essentially flat (Figure 5). Shallow, perched water has not been identified in the
vicinity of the site (KCWA, 1991).
4.0 PROPOSED SITE ASSESSMENT
According to the California LUFT Manual (1989) leaching potential analysis for gas and diesel, up to
1,000 mgjkg of gasoline can be left in the subsurface without corrective action. Given this criteria, the
proposed assessment will focus on each end of the middle island, the west end of the southern island,
and the north end of the westernmost tank. Slanted borings will be drilled under the islands as shown in
Figure 2. A vertical boring will be drilled between two of the new tanks, through conducter casing which
was placed during installation of the new tanks. The borings will be advanced to at least 30 feet or until
10 feet of uncontaminated soil is encountered (as evidenced by field screening using a photoionization
detector). The purpose of the borings is to determine the vertical extent of gasoline hydrocarbons at
these locations.
Samples will be collected at 5-foot depth increments. A minimum of three samples collected from each
boring will be submitted to a state-certified lab for analysis of TPHG and BTEX. Specific sampling,
boring abandonment, and waste-handling procedures are discussed in detail in Appendix A.

A.1 SOIL BORINGS
The drilling rig used for the assessment will be a truck-mounted, hollow-stem auger rig. The slant
borings will be drilled at an approximate angle of 30° using a a-inch 0.0. auger. Samples will be
collected from the borings as described in Section A.2. If contamination is suspected, the borings will
be filled with a 5-sack sand/cement slurry. If no indication of contamination is encountered, the borings
will be backfilled with the drill cuttings. The surface will be patched with asphaltic concrete.
A.2 SOIL SAMPLING
Soil samples will be collected at 5-foot intervals with a split-spoon sampler. The sampler will be fitted
with stainless steel or brass sample rings. When the filled sampler is retrieved, the ring to be submitted
for analysis will be separated from the other rings with a knife and sealed in such a way that no
significant headspace is left at either end of the ring. The ring will be sealed at each end with a teflon
sheet, a plastic cap, and tape to secure the plastic cap. The samples will be labeled to indicate date
and time of sample collection, boring number and depth of the sample. The sample will be placed on
ice in an ice chest pending delivery to an analytical laboratory.
Another sample ring retrieved from the sampler will be field screened with a PIO for volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions. To do this approximately 2/3 of the material in the sample ring will be
removed and the ring will be capped on both ends with a plastic cap. The ring will then be shaken
vigorously for several seconds and the inlet to the PID will be inserted into a small hole in one of the
caps. The PIO reading will be recorded on the drilling log for that sample interval.
The material from the second sample ring will be described on the drilling log of the boring using visual
classification according to the Unified Soil Classification System. Color, grain size, and sorting charts
will be used to aid in the soil classification.
Between sampling events, the sampling equipment will be cleaned using a three-bucket wash system. In
this system, the rings and samplers are scrubbed in a bucket of detergent, rinsed in a second bucket of
tap water and given a final rinse in a bucket of distilled water.
A.3 LABORATORY ANALYSIS
A minimum of three samples collected from each boring will be submitted for analysis. The selected
samples will include the two exhibiting the highest PIO readings and the deepest from each boring. The
samples will be shipped by overnight courier to a state certified laboratory. All soil samples will be extracted

using EPA method 5030 and analyzed for BTEX, and TPHG concentrations using EPA methods 8020 and
8015-modified, respectively. Detection limits for the analytes will be as follows:
· 0.005 mgjkg for BTE;
· 0.015 mgjkg for X;
· 10 mgjkg for TPHG.
A.4 WASTE MANAGEMENT
Drill cuttings will be stored on site in appropriately labeled, 55-gallon, D.O.T. approved (17E) drums pending
receipt of the analytical results. The lids of the drums will be bolted closed and the drums will be stored
in one place at the site. Once the analytical results are received the drum contents will be disposed of by
ARCO in an appropriate and timely manner. If contamination is encountered, the drilling augers will be
steam-cleaned upon completion of drilling activities. Rinsate from the cleaning operations will be collected
in appropriately labeled drums (as above) and disposed of by ARCO following laboratory analysis.

AIR MONITORING AND CONFINED SPACE ENTRY
3.1 Air Monitoring
Air monitoring must be performed on all sites in accordance with Groundwater Technology
practices. Organic vapor concentrations are monitored in the field with a flame ionization detector
(FID) or photoionization detector (PID). All readings are taken in the workers' breathing zone to
determine whether an action level has been met and/or exceeded. Air monitoring results must be
documented on the Vapor Monitoring Form (Appendix B-3).
Air monitoring action levels (Table 3-1) have been developed by Groundwater Technology to indicate
the chemical concentrations in the breathing zone that require an upgrade in level of personal
protective equipment (PPE). The action levels apply to all tasks performed on this site. Guidelines
for frequency of air monitoring are presented in Table 3-2.
0-75 ppm Level 0 required
76-750 ppm Upgrade to Level C
> 750 ppm Stop work. Contact PM and HSR for guidance.

Conduct periodic monitoring when: (1) it is possible that an IDLH condition or a flammable atmosphere has developed or (2)
there is an indication that exposures may have risen over permissible exposure limits or published exposure levels since the last
monitoring. Look for a possible rise in exposures associated with these situations:
Change in Site hea - work begins on a different section of the site
Change in Contaminants - handling contaminants other than those first identified
Change in On-Site Activity - one operation ends and another begins
Handling Leaking Drums or Containers
Working with Obvious Uquid Contamination (e.g, a spill or lagoon)
Conduct air monitoring when the possibility of volatilization exists (such as with a new monitoring well or a well containing
known product).
Conduct air monitoring on a well at a site known to have little contamination (documented by experience or laboratory data),
only if an odor emanates from the well.
3.2 Confined Space Entry Procedures and Permit
Site work may require personnel to enter confined spaces. No Groundwater Technology employee or
subcontractor shall enter an area identified as a confined space without using the confined space
entry procedures described in Table 3-3 and the site specific entry procedures presented in
Table 3-4. The purpose of the confined space entry procedure is to protect employees from potentially
hazardous environments and to facilitate immediate rescue in an emergency situation. A Confined
Space Entry Permit must be posted at the entrance to each confined space.
· Perform the appropriate air monitoring activity at various depths in the space prior to entry. Monitor for: (1) oxygen
level, (2) flammable vapors, and (3) toxic vapors.
· Ventilate the atmosphere in the space so that entry may be made safely without respiratory protection. If this is not
feasible, appropriate respiratory protection must be worn by authorized entrants and attendants.
· Wear respiratory protection when ventilation alone can not achieve acceptable atmospheric levels of oxygen or
flammable or toxic vapors.

ExtinguIshing MedIa: Use dry chemical. foam, or carbon dioxide to extinguish benzene fifes. Water may be ineffective as an extinguishing
agent since it can scatter and spread the fire. Use water spray to cool fife-exposed cOntainers, flush spills away from exposures, disperse benzene
vapor, and protecæel attempting, to stop an unigmted benzene leak. ,
Unusual Fire or loslon Hazards: Benzene is a Class 1B flammable liquid. A concentration exceeding 3250 ppm is considered a potential
fife explosion hazar Benzene vapor is heavier than air and can collect in low lying areas or travel to an ignition source and flash back. Explosive
and flammable benzene vapor-air mixtures can easily form at room temperature. Efuninate all ignition sources where benzene is used, handled, or
stored.
Special Fire-f12htlß8 Procedures: Isolate hazard area and deny entry. Since fife may produce toxic fumes, wear a self-contained breatJúng
apparatus (SCIfA) WIth a full facepiece operated in the pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode and full protective equipment StrUCtur31

Medical Coñdlt1ons Aggravated by Long-Term EXposure: Exposure may worsen ailments of the hean. lungs, liver, kidneys, blood, and CNS.
Target Organs: Blood, central necvous system, bone marrow, eyes, upper respiralory tract, and skin.
PrlriJary E"ntry Routes: Inhalation. skin contacL
Acute Effects: Symploms of acute overex\'OSure include irritation of the eyes, nose, and respiralory tract, breathlessness, euphoria. nausea.
drowsiness, headaclie. dizziness, and inloXlcation. Severe exposure may lead 10 convulsions and unconsciousness. Skin contact may cause a
drying rash (dermatitis).
Chronic Effects: Long-term chronic exposure may result in many blood disorders ranging from aplastic anenùa (an inability to form blood cells)
10 leukemia.
FIRST AID
Eyes: Gently lift the eyelids and flush inunediately and continuously with floocling amounts of water until transported 10 an emergency medical
facility. Consult a physician inunediately. .
Skin: Quickly remove contaminated clothing. Immediately rinse with floocling amO\D1ts of water for at least 15 min. For reddened or blistered
skin. consult a physician. Wash affected area with soap and water. _
Inhalation: Remove exposed person 10 fresh air. Emergency personnel should ~tect against inhalation exposure. Provide CPR 10 support
breathing or circulation as necessary. Keep awake and transport 10 a medical facility.
IngestIon: Never &ive anything by mouth 10 an unconscious or convulsing person. If ingested, do not induce vomiting since aspiration may be
fat31. Call a physiCIan inunediately.
Arter first ald, get appropriate In-plant, paramedic, or community medical support.
PhysicIan's Note: Evaluate chronic exposure with a CBC, peripheral smear, and reuculocyte count for signs of myeloloxicity. Follow up any
early indicators of leukemia with a bone marrow biopsy. Urinary phenol conjugates may be used for biological moniloring of recent exposure.
Acute marlligement is primarily supportive for CNS œpression.

SpUllLeak: Design and practice a benzene spill conlTol and countermeasure plan (SCCP). Notify safety personnel, evacuate all unnecessary
personnel, eliminate all heat and ignition sources, and provide adequate ventilation. Cleanup personnel should protect against vapor inhalation, eye
contact, and skin absorption. Absorb as much benzene as possible with an inert, noncombustible material. For large spills, dike far ahead of spill
and contain liquid. Use nonsparking tools to place waste liquid or absorbent into closable containers for disposal. Keep waste out of conÏmed
spaces such as sewers, watersheds, and waterways because of explosion danger. Follow applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120).
Disposal: Contact your supplier or a licensed conlractor for detailed reconunendations. follow applicable Federal. state, and local regulations.

dangers. Minimize all possible exposures 10 carcinogens. If possible. substitute less Ioxic solvents for benzene; use this material with extreme
caution and only if absolutely essential. Avoid vapor inhalation and skin and eye contacL Use only with adequate ventilation and appropriate
personal protective gear. Institute a respiratory protection program that includes regular training. maintenance, inspection, and evaluation.
Designate regulated areas of benzene use (see legend in the box below) and label benzene containers with "DANGER, CONT AlliS BENZENE.
CANCER HAZARD."
Other Precautions: Provide preplacement and periodic medical examinations with emphasis on a history of blood disease or previous exposure.

CHEMICAL INCOMPA TIBILmES: Toluene is stable in closed containers at room temperature under normal storage and
handling conditions. It does not undergo hazardous polymerization. This material is incompatible with strong oxidizing
agents, dinitrogen tetraoxide, silver perchlorate, tetranitromet.ltane, and uranium hexafluoride. Contact with these materials
may cause rue or explosion. Nitric acid and toluene, especially in the presence of sulfuric acid, will produce nitrated
compounds that are dangerously explosive.

irritation of the eyes, nose, upper respiratory tract, and skin. Exposure to 200 ppm for 8 hours causes mild fatigue,
weakness, confusion, lacrimation (tearing) and paresthesia (a sensation of prickling, tingling, or creeping on the skin that
has no objective cause). Exposure to higher concentrations may cause headache, nausea, dizziness, dilated pupils, and
euphoria, and, in severe cases, may cause unconsciousness and death. The liquid is irritating to the eyes and skin. Contact
with the eyes may cause transient corneal damage, conjunctival irritation, and burns if not promptly removed. Repeated
and/or prolonged contact with the skin may cause drying and cracking. It may be absorbed through the skin in toxic
amounts. Ingestion causes irritation of the gastrointestinal tract and may cause effects resembling those from inhalation of
the vapor. Chronic overexposure to toluene may cause reversible kidney and liver injury. FIRST AID: EYE CONTACT:
Immediately flush eyes, including under eyelids, with running water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation
, persists. * SKIN CONT ACf: Immediately flush skin (for at least 15 minutes) while removing contaminated shoes a::ld
clothing. Wash exposed area with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation persists or if a large area has been
exposed. * rNHALA TION: Remove victim to fresh air. Restore and/or support breathing as required. Keep victim warm and
quiet Get medical help. * INGESTION: Give victim 1 to 2 glasses of water or milk. Contact a poison control center. Do not
induce vomiting unless directed to do so. Transport victim to a medical facility. Never give anything by mouth to a person
who is unconscious or convulsing. * GET MEDICAL ASSISTANCE = In plant, paramedic, community. Get medical help

Xylene is not listed as a carcinogen by the IARC, NTP, or OSHA. (
Summary of Risks: Liquid xylene is a skin irritant and causes erythema, dryness, and defatting; prolonged contact may cause '
blistering. Inhaling xylene can depress the central nervous system (CNS), and ingesting it can result in gastrointestinal disturbance; and
possibly hematemesis (vomiting blood). Effects on the eyes, kidneys, liver, lungs, and the CN~ are also reported. Medical CondItions
Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: Problems with eyes, skin, central nervous system, kidneys, and liver may be worsened by
, exposure to xylene. Target Organs: CNS, eyes, gastrointestinal tract, blood, liver, kidneys, skin. Primary Entry: Inhalation,
skin contacVabsorption. Acute Effects: Dizziness; excitement; drowsiness; incoordination; staggering gait; irritation of eyes, nose,
and throat; corneal vacuolization; anorexia; nausea; vomiting; abdominal pain; and dermatitis. Chronic Effects: Reversible eye
damage, headache, loss of appetite, nervousness, pale skin, and skin rash.
FIRST AID: Eyes. Immediately flush eyes, including under the eyelids, gently but thoroughly with plenty of running water for at
least 15 minutes. Skin. Immediately wash'the affected area with soap and water. Inhalation. Remove the exposed person to fresh
air; restore and/or support his or her breathing as needed. Have a trained person administer oxygen. Ingestion. Never ~ive anything
by mouth to someone who is unconscious or convulsing. Vomiting may occur spontaneously, but do not induce it. If vomiting should
occur, keep exposed person's head below his or her hips to prevent aspiration (breathing the liquid xylene into the lungs). Severe
hemorrhagic pneumonitis with grave, possibly fatal, pulmonary injury can occur from aspiring very small quantities of xylene.
GET MEDICAL HELP (IN PLANT, PARAMEDIC, COMMUNITY) FOR ALL EXPOSURES. Seek prompt
medIcal assIstance for further treatment, observation, and support after first ald. If exposure Is severe,
hospltlllzatlon for at least 72 hours with careful monitoring for delayed onset of pulmonary edema Is
recommended.

approved respirator per the NlOSH Pocket Gui4e to Chemical Hazards for the maximum-use concentrations and/or the exposure limits
I cited in section 2. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134). For emergency or nonroutine use (leaks or cleaning reactor
vessels and storage tanks), wear an SCBA with a full facepiece operated in the pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode. Warning: Air-
purifying respirators will not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. Other: Wear impervious gloves, boots, aprons, gauntlets,
etc., as required by the specifics of the work: operation to prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact with xylene. VentIlation: Install
and operate general and local maximum, explosion-proof ventilatton systems powerful enough to maintain airborne levels of xylene
I below the OSHA PEL standard cited in section 2. Local exhaust ventilation is preferred because it prevents dispersion of xylene into
general work areas by eliminating it at its source. Consult the latest edition of Genium reference 103 for detailed recommendations.
Safety Stations: Make eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and washing facilities available in areas of use and handling.
Contaminated Equipment: Contact lenses pose a special hazard; soft lenses may absorb irritants and all lenses concentrate them. Do
not wear contact lenses in any work area. Remove contaminated clothing and launder it before wearing it again; clean xylene from shoes

ExtInguishIng Media: Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide to put out ethyl benzene fires. A water spray may be ineffective in ex-
tinguishing the flre, because it can scatter and spread the burning liquid. Use water spray to cool flfC-eXpoSed containers of ethyl benzene, to
disperse ethyl benzene vapor, and to protect personnel attempting to stop an ethyl benzene leak. Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: This
liquid can readily form explosive vapor-air mixtures, especially when heated. Ethyl benzene vapor is heavier than air and may travel a con-
siderable distance to a low-lying source of ignition and flash back to its origin. Special Fire-fighting Procedures: Wear a self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full facepiece operated in the pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode.

StabllltylPolymerizatlon: Ethyl benzene is stable in closed containers during routine operations. Hazardous polymerization cannot occur.
Chemical Incompatibilities: Hazardous chemical reactions can occur between ethyl benzene and strong oxidizing agents, acids, ammonia,
and bases. CondItions to A void: A void any exposure to sources of ignition such as heat, sparks, open flame, and lighted tobacco products,
etc., and to incompatible chemicals. Use caution when entering confined spaces. particularly low-lying areas where explosive concentrations
of ethyl benzene vapor may be present Provide good ventilation to such areas to prevent the concentration of this vapor. Hazardous Prod-
ucts of Decomposition: Thermal-oxidative degradation can include toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and/or aromatic hydrocarbon gases.

Carcinogenicity: Ethyl benzene is not listed as a carcinogen by the NTP, !ARC, or OSHA.
Summary of Risks: Ethyl benzene vapor is severely irritating to the eyes and to the mucous membranes of the respiratory system. Sus-
tained inhalation of excessive levels can cause depression of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by dizziness, headache,
narcosis, and coma. Skin contact with liquid ethyl benzene causes iITitation; dermatitis and defatting can also develop. The acute oral toxicity
of ethyl benzene is low; however, ingestion of it presents a serious aspiration hazard. Aspirating even a small amount into the lungs can
result in extensive edema (lungs filled with fluid) and hemorrhaging of the lung tissue. No systemic effects are expected at the levels that
produce pronounced, un ignorable, disagreeable skin and eye irritation. TheTI..Vs cited in section 2 are set to prevent this intolerable
irritation. MedIcal Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: None reported. Target Organs: Skin, eyes, respiratory system, and
CNS. Primary Entry: inhalation, skin contact Acute Effects: Irritation of the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Also, cardiac-rhythm dis-
turbance due to sensitization; acute bronchitis, bronchospasm, pulmonary and laryngeal edema; euphoria; headache; giddiness; dizziness;
and incoordination, as well as possible depression; confusion; and coma. Chronic Effects: None reported. First Aid: Eyes. Immediately

Automotive Gasoline, Lead-free
Issued: 10/81
Revision: A, 9/91
Automotive Gasoline, Lead-free, Description: A mixture of volatile hydrocarbons composed mainly of branched-chain
paraffms, cycloparaffms, olefms, naphthenes, and aromatics. In general, gasoline is produced from petroleum, shale oil,
Athabasca tar sands, and coal. Motor gasolines are made chiefly by cracking processes, which convert heavier petroleum
fractions into more volatile fractions by thermal or catalytic decomposition. Widely used as fuel in internal combustion
engines of the sparle-ignited, reciprocating type. Automotive gasoline has an octane number of approximately 90. A high
content of aromatic hydrocarbons and a consequent high toxicity are also associated with a high octane rating. Some
gasolines sold in the US contain a minor proportion of tetraethyllead, which is added in concentrations not exceeding 3 ml
per gallon to prevent engine "knock." However, methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has almost comþletely replaced
tetraethyllead.
Other Designations: CAS No. 8006-61-9, benzin, gasoline, gasolene, motor spirits, natural gasoline, petrol.

Summary of Risks: Gasoline vapors are considered moderately pOIsonous. Vapor inhalation can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression
and mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritation. Brief inhalations of high concentrations can cause a fatal pulmonary edema. Reported
responses ~o ttasoline vapor concentrations are: 160 to 270 ppm causes eye and throat irritation in several hours; 500 to 900 ppm causes eye, nose,
I and throat lIT1tation, and dizziness in 1 hr; and 2000 ppm produces mild anesthesia in 30 min. Higher concentrations are intoxicating in 4 to 10
minutes. If large areas of skin are exposed to gasoline, toxic amounts may be absorbed. Repeated or prolonged skin exposure causes dennatitis.
Certain individuals may develop hypersensitivity. Ingestion can cause CNS depression. Pulmonary aspiration after ingestion can cause severe
pneumonitis. In adults, ingestion of 20 to 50 g gasoline may produce severe symptoms of poisoning.
MedIcal CondItIons Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: None reported.
I Target Organs: Skin, eye, respiratory and central nervous systems.
Primary Entry Routes: Inhalation, ingestion, skin contact.
Acute Effects: Acute inhalation produces intense nose, throat, and lung irritation; headaches; blurred vision; conjunctivitis; flushing of the fac::'
mental confusion; staggering gait; slurred speech; and unconsciousness, sometimes with convulsions. Ingestion causes inebriation (drunkenness),
vomiting, dizziness, fever, drowsiness, confusion, and cyanosis (a blue to dark pwplish coloration of skin and mucous membrane caused by lack
I of oxygen). Aspiration causes chokin$' cough. shortness of breath, increased rate of respiration, excessiyely rapid heartbeat, fever, bronchitis, and
pneumonitis. Other symptoms followmg acute exposure include acute hemorrhage of tlie pancreas, fatty degeneration of the liver and kidneys,
and passive congestion of s,Pleen.
Chronic Effects: Chronic 1iilialation results in appetite loss, nausea, weight loss, insomnia, and unusual sensitivity (hyperesthesia) of the distal
extremities followed by motor weakness, muscular degeneration, and diminished tendon reflexes and coordination. Repeated skin exposure can
I cause blistering, drying, and lesions.
FIRST AID
Eyes: Gently lift the eyelids and flush immediately and continuously with flooding amounts of water until transported to an emergency medical
facility. Consult a physician immediately.
Skin: Quickly remove contaminated clothing. Rinse with flooding amounts of water for at least 15 min. For reddened or blistered skin, consult a
I physician. Wash affected area with soap and water. '
InhalatIon: Remove exposed person to fresh air and sup,Port breathing as needed.
IngestIon: Never give anything by mouth to an unconSCiOUS or conwlsin~ person. If ingested, do not induce vomiting due to aspiration hazard.
Give conscious victim a mixture of 2 tablespoons of activated charcoal xmxèd in 8 oz of water to drink. Consult a physician immediately.

DIesel Fuel Oil No. 2-D DescrIption: Diesel fuel is obtained from the middle distillate in petroleum separation; a distillate R
oil of low sulfur'content. It is composed chiefly of unbranched paraffins. Diesel fuel is available in various grades, one of I
which is synonymous with fuel oil No.2-D. This diesel fuel oil requires a minimum Cetane No. (efficiency rating for S
diesel fuel comparable to octane number ratings for gasoline) of 40 (ASTM 0613). Used as a fuel for trucks, ships, and K
other automotive engines; as mosquito control (coating on breeding waters); and for drilling muds.
Other Designations: CAS No. 68334-30-5, diesel fuel.

· Diesel fuel No. 2-D tends to be low in aromaûcs and high in parnffinics. This fuel oil is complex mixture of: 1) >95% paraffinic, olefinic, naphthenic, and
aromatic hydrocaroons, 2) sulfur «0.5%), and 3) benzene (<100 ppm). [A low benzene level reduces carcinogenic risk. Fuel oils can be exempted under the
benzene standard (29 CFR 1910.1028)1. Although low in the fuel itself, benzene concen~ûons are likely to be much higher in processing areas.

Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam to fight fire. Use a water spray to cool fire exposed containers. Do not use a
forced water spray directly on burning oil since this will scatter the fife. Use a smothering lechnique for extinguishing fire.
Unusual Fire or Explosion Hazards: Diesel fuel oil No. 2-D is a OSHA Class II combustible liquid. Its volatility is similar to that of gas oil.
Vapors may travel to a source of ignition and flash back. '
Special Fire-nghting Procedures: Isolate hazard area and deny entry. Since fire may produce toxic fumes, wear a self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full facepiece operated in the pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode and full protective clothing. If feasibie,
remove containers from fire. Be aware of runoff from fire control methods. Do not release to sewers or waterways due to pollution and fire or
explosion hazard.
StabllitylPolymerlzatIon: Diesel fuel oil No. 2-D is stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling condi-
tions. Hazardous polymerization cannot occur.
ChemIcal IncompatibilitIes: It is incompatible with strong oxidizing agenls; heating greatly increases the fire hazard.
CondItIons to Avoid: Avoid heat and ignition sources.
Hazardous Products of Decomposition: Thermal oxidative decomposition of diesel fuel oil No. 2-D can produce various hydrocarbons and
hydrocarbon derivatives, and other partial oxidation products such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and sulfur dioxide.

I arclnogenlcit)': Although the IARC has not assigned an overall evaluation to diesel fuels as a group, it has evaluated occupational exposures in
I troleum refimng as an IARC probable human carcinogen (Group 2A). It has evaluated distillatc (light) diesel oils as not classifiable as human
carcinogens (Group 3). '
Summary of RIsks: Although diesel fuel's IDxicologic effccts should resemble kerosine's, they arc somewhat more pronounced due to additives (
ICh as sulfurized estcrs. Excessivc inhalation of aerosol or mist can cause rcspiraIDry tract irritation, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and
ss of coordination, dcpending on concentration and exposurc time. When rcmoved from exposure area, affected persons usually recover
mpletely. If vomiting occurs after ingestion and if oil IS aspirated inID the lungs, hemorrhaging and pulmonary edema, progressin~ ID renal in-
volvement and chemical pneumonitis, may result. A comparative ratio of orallD aspirated lethal doses may be 1 pt vs. 5 mi. As¡>irahon may also
result in transient CNS dcpression or excitement. Secondary effects may include hypoxia (insufficient oxygen in body cells), infection, pneumaID-
Ie formation, and chromc lung dysfunction. Inhalation may result in euphoria, cardiac dysrhythmias, respiraIDry arrest, and CNS IDxicity.
longed or repeated skin contact may irritate hair follicles and block sebaceous glands, producing a rash of acne pimples and spots, usually on
and legs.
MedIcal Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: None reported.
Target Organs: Central nervous system, sldn, and mucous membranes.
rlmary Entry Routes: Inhalation, ingestion. '
cute Effects: Systemic effects from ingestion include gastrointestinal irritation, vomiting, diarrhea, and in severe cases central nervous system
pression, progressing to coma or death. Inhalation of aerosols or mists may result in increased rate ofrespiration, tachycardia (excessively rapid
heart beat), and cyanosis (dark purplish discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes caused by deficient blood oxygenation).
ChronIc Effects: Repeated contact with the skin causes dermatitis.
IRST AID
yes: Gently lift the eyelids and flush immediately and continuously with flooding amounts of water until transported to an emergency medical
cility. Consult a physician immediatcly.
SkIn: Quickly remove contaminated clothing. Rinse with flooding amounts of water for at least 15 min. If large areas of the body have been
exposed or if irritation persists, get medical help immediately. Wash affected area with soap and water.
halation: Remove exposed person to fresh alf and support breathing as needed,
gestJon: Never give anything by mouth ID an unconscious or convulsing person. If ingested, do not induce vomiting due to aspiration hazard.
ontact a physician immediately. Position ID avoid aspiration.
After first aid, get appro\,!rlate In-plant, paramedic, or communIty medical support. ' '
Note to Physicians: Gastnc lavage IS contraindicated due to aspiration hazard. Preferred antidotes are charcoal and milk. In cases of severe
spiration pneumonitis, consider monilDring arterial blood gases to ensure adequate ventilation. Observe the patient for 6 hr. If vital signs become
bnormal or sympIDms develop, obtain a chest x-ray.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Groundwater Technology, Inc. has been contracted by ARCO Products Company to conduct
assessment activities their facility no. 5365. The site is located at 4010 Wible Road in Bakersfield,
California (Figures 1 and 2). The purpose of the assessment is to determine the extent of hydrocarbons
in soil beneath the former tanks and dispensers as requested by the City of Bakersfield (letter of
December 7, 1993). This report presents site background, assessment procedures, sampling protocol
and findings of the assessment.
2.0 BACKGROUND
A preliminary assessment was performed at the facility on July 30, 1993. The assessment consisted of
two soil borings drilled near the fill ends of the tanks and one boring in the middle of the proposed tank
location (Figure 2). Total depth of the borings ranged from 20 to 30 feet. Benzene and TPHG were not
detected in the any of the soil samples. Toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene isomers were detected in
some samples from the boring near the former tanks. No analytes were detected in the deepest sample
from each boring. Table 1 summarizes the analytical results of these soil samples.
In August 1993, underground storage tanks and associated piping were removed (GTI, 1993). Soil
samples were collected beneath the former tanks and piping at locations selected by Mr. Ralph Huey of
the Bakersfield City Fire Department. Detected concentrations of benzene and TPHG ranged from 0.008
to 95 mgjkg, and 17 to 9,900 mgjkg, respectively. The highest benzene and TPH concentrations were
detected in the sample from beneath the eastern fuel dispenser of the middle island. The highest
benzene and TPHG concentrations detected in samples from the tank pit, 23 and 6,600 mgjkg, were
from the 6-foot deep sample under the westernmost tank. Concentrations of those analytes at 6 feet
below the other two tanks were comparatively low. Laboratory results are summarized in Table 2 and
in Figure 3.
3.0 GEOLOGY/HYDROGEOLOGY
ARCO facility no. 5365 is located in the southwest portion of Bakersfield. The approximate elevation of '
the facility is 372 feet above sea level. The site is located on the alluvial plain of the Kern River.

Topography in the region is flat, and no natural bodies of water adjoin the site. The station is located in
a commercial area and is approximately 3,000 feet east-southeast of the nearest school.
The site overlies alluvial-fan deposits of the Kern River. Sediments underlying the region consist of silt,
sand and gravel. Sediments encountered during drilling activities at the site consist primarily of medium-
to coarse-grained sand and silty sand, with local lenses of sandy silt and clayey sand. Drilling logs are
presented in Appendix A.
An unconfined aquifer is present below the site at a depth of approximately 185 feet (Figure 4). The
gradient of this aquifer is essentially flat. Shallow, perched water has not been identified in the vicinity of
the site (KCWA, 1992).
4.0 ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES
On May 19, 1994, Groundwater Technology supervised the drilling of four borings (B4 through B7) at the
approximate locations shown in Figure 2. Three of the borings were drilled at an angle of 30° from
vertical. These borings were drilled on each end of the middle island and the west end of the southern
island. The fourth, a vertical boring, was drilled between two of the new USTs through conductor casing
which was placed during installation of the new tanks. Undisturbed soil samples were collected at 5-foot
intervals in each boring. Specific sampling, boring abandonment, and waste-handling procedures are
discussed in detail in Appendix B.
5.0 ANALYTICAL RESULTS OF SOIL SAMPLES
Twelve soil samples (including the deepest from each boring) were submitted to GTEL Environmental
Laboratories, Inc. (Certification No. E723) for chemical analysis. The samples were analyzed for BTEX
and TPHG using EPA methods 8020 and 8015-modified, respectively. Hydrocarbons were only detected
in the sample collected from a depth of 8 feet in boring B6 and from a depth of 45 feet in boring B7
(Table 3). Benzene and TPHG concentrations for B6-8 were 0.14 and 1400 mgjkg, respectively.
Sample 87-45 had a benzene concentration of 0.020 mgjkg. The laboratory reports are presented in
Appendix C.

6.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The findings of the site assessment activities at ARCO facility no. 5365 can be summarized as follows:
· On May 19, 1994, Groundwater Technology supervised the drilling of four soil borings
near the dispenser islands and former USTs at the facility;
· Sediments encountered during the drilling activities consist primarily of medium- to
coarse-grained sand and silty sand, with local lenses of sandy silt and clayey sand;
· An unconfined aquifer is present below the site at a depth approximately 185 feet;
· Soil samples were analyzed for BTEX and TPHG. Only one sample (B6-8) had
detectable amounts of hydrocarbons. Benzene and TPHG concentrations were 0.14 and
1400 mg/kg, respectively.
The assessment has indicated the extent of hydrocarbons in soil is very limited. An extensive vadose-
zone buffer of approximately 170 feet exists between these hydrocarbons and groundwater. Coupled
with the fact that the site is paved and mean average precipitation is less than 6 inches/year, no threat
to groundwater exists. Groundwater Technology therefore recommends no remedial action.

B.1 SOIL BORINGS
A truck-mounted, hollow-stem auger drilling rig was used for the assessment. The slant borings were
drilled at an approximate angle of 30°. Samples were collected from the bor.ings as described in Section
B.2. Upon completion, all of the borings were backfilled with a 5-sack sand/cement slurry and capped
with cold-patch asphalt.
B.2 SOIL SAMPLING
Soil samples were collected at 5-foot intervals with a split-spoon sampler. The sampler was driven
ahead of the augers into undisturbed sediments using a 140 lb. down-hole, slide hammer. The sampler
was fitted with brass or stainless-steel sample tubes. When the sampler was retrieved, the tube to be
submitted for analysis was separated from the other tubes with a knife and sealed in such a way that no
significant headspace was left at either end of the tube. The tube was sealed with a'teflon sheet, a
plastic èap, and tape to secure the plastic cap. The samples were labeled to indicated date and time of
sample collection, boring number and depth of the sample. The samples were place on ice in an ice
chest pending delivery to an analytical laboratory.
A second sample tube was retrieved from the sampler and field screened with a PID for volatile organic
compound (VOG) emissions. To do this approximately 2/3 of the material in the sample ring was
removed and the ring was capped on both ends with a plastic cap. The ring was then be shaken
vigorously for several seconds and the inlet to the PID inserted into a small hole in one of the caps. The
PID reading was recorded on the drilling log for that sample interval.
The material from the 'second sample ring was described on the drilling log in accordance with the
Unified Soil Classification System. Color, grain size, and sorting charts were be used to aid in the soil
description.
Between sampling events, the sampling equipment was cleaned using a three-bucket wash system. In
this system, the rings and samplers are scrubbed in a bucket of biodegradeable detergent, rinsed in a
second bucket of tap water and given a final rinse in a bucket of distilled water.
B.3 LABORATORY ANALYSIS
Soil samples were shipped via overnight courier to GTEL Environmental Laboratories, Inc. (Certification No.
E1075) in Concord, California. The temperature within the ice chest was recorded when the samples were
received at the laboratory.

All samples were extracted using EPA method 5030 and analyzed for BTEX, and TPHG concentrations using
EPA methods 8020 and 8015-modified, respectively. Detection limits for the analytes were as follows:
· 0.005 mgjkg for BTE;
· 0.015 mgjkg for X;
· 1 mgjkg for TPHG.
8.4 WASTE MANAGEMENT
Drill cuttings are being stored on site in appropriately labeled, 55-gallon. D.O.T. approved (17E) drums. The
lids of the drums were bolted closed and the drums are stored in one place at the site. The drum contents
will be disposed of by ARCO in an appropriate and timely manner.
