November 20, 2000 California Integrated Waste DRAFT Management Board 8800 Cal Center Drive Sacramento, CA 95826 Attn: Mr. Brad Williams, P.E. Ref: City of Tracy - Tire Fire Suppression Contract # IWM-SU-9038-Work Order H-1 Dear Todd: Under this cover is the initial Work Plan for the suppression of the Tracy tire fire located on South MacArthur Road in the city of Tracy, California. We understand that this plan may be reviewed by a number of authorities and may be subject to modification based on comments that we receive during the review period. Sukut Construction, Inc. has prepared this Work Plan (WP) to present the proposed scope of work for the suppression of the identified tire fire site (TFS) that has been targeted by the CIWMB for cleanup. This WP includes additional project information, a suppression plan, communication plan, a site specific health and safety plan, an air-sampling plan, a proposed project schedule, and a cost estimate for the project. The WP was prepared in accordance with Integrated Waste Management Board (IWMB) Contract IWM-9038 and the IWMB and has incorporated practical information gathered from our site visit on November 15, 2000. The general plan for fire suppression is to first soak the area with 50 to 80 thousand gallons of water taken out of our designated agricultural water channel. We will then clear a path through the center of the surface debris about 50 feet wide. This will give safe access to the remaining debris. We will then excavate and suppress the remaining material to the center of the clearing, which will then be pushed out by a dozer to a designated area where fire suppression teams will extinguish any flare-ups or smoldering material. Contaminated water run-off will be collected in a geomembrane lined sump about 100 ft x 100 ft x 4 feet. The sump will be placed below the fire suppression area, and will be pumped out into 20,000 gallon baker tanks. The extinguished material will be stockpiled with the existing burned material and left for future disposal.
