Based upon the results of the investigation, including both visual inspection and analytical testing, and data on depth to groundwater as obtained from the Kern County Water Agency, we concur that there has not been significant' soils cont+amina.tion as a result of tank leakage at this site.

N.D. i DIRECTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH Vernon S. Re{cherd A. This is to acknowledge receipt�of your notification of intent to remove one waste oil tank and leave three existing 8,000 gallon tanks in place at the station located at White Lane and Wible Road in Bakersfield, CA. Since you describe the three existing tanks as having been filled with drilling mud s9metime prior to 1973, we are in agreement with your assumption that the tanks were legal=ly abandoned.at that time and no further action is necessary beyond the removal of risers you describe in your proposal. Removal of 4he waste oil tank may be initiated as soon as a permit is acquired from the City of Bakersfield Fire Department. This letter will enable you to obtain this permit. Actual removal of the tank must be in accordance with all Fire Department requirements. The preliminary assessment you describe in your proposal which is to be performed by Tom Bayne of Soils Engineering, Inc., meets with our approval as long as actual soil sample retrieval is per EPA methods. Samples taken from under the waste oil tank should be analyzed for oil and grease. If you have any further questions on our requirements,please do not hesitate to call.

PAVING • ASPHALT SEALING • DEMOLITION • RR CONSTRUCTION SINCE 1884 The three existing 8000 gal. fuel storage tanks have been filled with drilling mud at some time in the past. We have been unable to find any record of their abandonment after checking with the city fire department (Chief Kollenborn & Capt. Goatcher). However the city's records only date back to 1973. Conversations with long time service station owners in Bakersfield date the closure around 1971 to 1973. (Ray Ralls, local Exxon owner from 1968 to date) Attempts to find records from Exxon or others have so far proved fruitless. We are therefore assuming the tanks were legally abandoned years ago. It is our intention to leave the fuel tanks in place after removing the risers and plugging the resulting holes. The tanks are in the parking area of the future auto parts store. The top of the tanks will then be greater than 3 feet below finished elevation. The existing waste oil tank is empty and shall be removed. The tank will be excavated around, removed and hauled to 340 Industrial St. It will be placed for sale as an above ground storage tank for fuel or oil. Prior to removal the fire department will be contacted and.a permit obtained. Any flammable vapors will be purged by the use of dry ice per the city's requirements. After removal Tom Bayne of Soils Engineering Inc. will be called in for soils tests under the tank. It is his intention to test 2 feet below the bottom of the tank in 1 or 2 locations as he deems necessary. (This tank being removed is only 5 feet long) This testing will coincide with visual inspection of the existing ground. Further testing will be done to determine the extent of contamination if any exists. Test results will be submitted along with his recommendations to your department prior to backfilling of the hole.

Gentlemen: File No. 85 -4363 According to authorization from Mr. Jim Mitchell of M Construc- tion, we have initiated an investigation regarding the soils beneath the removed waste oil tank at the southeast corner of White Lane and Wible Road station. On April 11, 1985, a visual inspection was performed by our Project Engineer. The inspection consisted of examining the soils beneath the waste oil tank that was removed. Based on a visual classification of the soils, the soils consisted of brown to light brown silty sand. No visual contamination or odors were encountered during our investigation. Two samples were taken at approximately two (2.0) feet below the previously existing oil tank bottom, approximately three (3.0) feet on centers and transported to the laboratory for oil and grease analysis. Soil sampling procedures were in substantial accordance with E.P.A. Standards of Soil Sampling. The following are the results of the analysis of the retrieved samples: Sample 1: 0.038 % oil and grease Sample 2: 0.017 % oil and grease 2901 H STREET • BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA 93301 • PHONE (805) 327 -7065 OILS ENGINEERING, INC.
