Huey Hazardous Materials Coordinator City of Bakersfield Fire Department 2101 H Street Bakersfield, CA 93301 REVIEW OF ADDENDUM TO THE HyDROGEOLOGICAL. ASSESSMENT REPORT '(HAR) FOR T~IE IMPOUNDMENT AT THE ·BAKERSFIELD AIRPARK, KERN COUNTY We have reviewed the subject report that was prepared for the City by Aqua Geosciences, Inc. A copy of our memorandum summarizing our comments is enclosed. Our review, indicates that the information developed from the additional site characterization work recently completed by the City is sufficient to define the vertical extent of contaminants underlying the impoundment. The information presented in the report also appears to be sufficient to support the conclusion that discharges to the impoundment have not impacted ground ·water underlying the:~Airpark. Therefore, the report fulfills the requirement for comple'tion of the HAR and also satisfies Task No. i of Cleanup and Abatement (C&A) Order No. 91-713. It is our understanding that the Cit~ Plans to "clean close" the impoundment by excavating all contaminated soil 'and that closure work will be initiated following the City's receipt of this letter. All work necessary t'o close the impoundment is to be completed by i January 1992 as prescribed in the C&A Order, and a closure report is ·to be submitted to us by that date. If you have any questions regardin~ this matter, please telephone Les Obata at (209) 488-4390. · - F.
