Santa Fe Road, San Joaquin County, CA <br />APN 249-060-13 <br />Dear Mr. McClellon: <br />This letter report summarizes the waste characterization sampling performed at the subject site. A <br />site vicinity map is presented in Figure 1. The sampling was conducted to determine if the soil and <br />ash waste excavated from shallow burn pits requires disposal as hazardous waste. <br />SITE ACTIVITIES <br />On April 13, 2005, representatives from Ground Zero Analysis, Inc. (Ground Zero), San Joaquin <br />County Environmental Health Department (EHD), and the property owner conducted a site meeting to <br />discuss anticipated site activities and determine sampling locations from waste piles at the facility. The <br />waste piles, consisting of three separate piles totalling approximately 250-350 cubic yards of waste, <br />were generated by the property owner during excavation of several shallow burn pits located in the <br />southern portion of the parcel. John Lane and Jeremy Wootten of Ground Zero, Robert McClellon and <br />Frank Girardi of EHD, and Peter Palomino, the property owner, discussed the project and determined <br />sampling locations. Mr. Wootten of Ground Zero collected soil/ash samples from three waste piles <br />and Mr. Girardi of EHD witnessed the sampling procedures. <br />The samples were collected in thin-walled brass cylinders. Approximately 3 inches of soil was <br />removed from the immediate surface area where the sample was taken and the cylinder then pushed or <br />pounded into the soil. No head space was present in the cylinder once the sample was collected. Latex <br />gloves were worn during sampling to prevent cross contamination with other samples. The soil <br />samples were quickly sealed in their brass sleeves with Teflon sheets and plastic caps and labeled in <br />the field with sample name and location, date, and the sampler's initials. The samples were <br />temporarily stored in an ice chest refrigerated to a temperature of approximately 4° C and delivered <br />0 under chain of custody protocol to Argon Analytical, Inc. (DHS cert. #2359). <br />G:\GROLTNDZE\Palomino\soilpileresult.doc <br />
