Mr. Alan M. Buehler <br /> May 19, 2017 <br /> notified at least 72 hours prior to intrusive field activities. In addition, each location will be hand cleared <br /> using an air knife and/or hand auger to a minimum depth of 6.5 feet bgs to further evaluate the presence <br /> of potential underground utilities near the proposed soil boring locations. <br /> Soil Borings, Sampling,and Screening <br /> Previously proposed borings B-49 and B-50 are near wells EW-2/EW-3 and VW-1, respectively. <br /> Previously proposed boring B-51 is offsite near well MW-15. Proposed borings B-52 and B-53 are near <br /> well VW-15MN-16 and boring BS-9, respectively. Borings B-49, B-50, B-51, B-52, and B-53 are <br /> proposed to approximately 70 feet bgs, and soil samples will be collected near previously impacted areas. <br /> Boring B-54 is proposed near 1-2-1-2.5 to update benzene and ethylbenzene concentrations at historical <br /> soil boring location L1-1-2.5 that exceeds the Direct Contact thresholds presented in Table 1 of the Low <br /> Threat Closure (LTC) Policy. Borings B-55 and B-56 are proposed near the former waste oil tank grab <br /> samples AT-1A and AT-2A, and boring B-57 is proposed in the northeast corner of the property outside <br /> the known petroleum hydrocarbon impacted area to establish naturally occurring background metals <br /> concentrations. Proposed soil samples will be collected at 2.5 feet bgs (B-54), 13 feet bgs (B-55), 6 feet <br /> bgs (B-56), and 6 and 13 feet bgs (B-57). Soil samples will be collected and submitted for chemical <br /> analysis based on field photo ionization detector(PID) measurements. <br /> Arcadis proposes advancing the soil borings using 8-inch hollow stem augers (HSA). During HSA <br /> advancement, soil will be collected with a split-spoon sampler at approximate 5-ft intervals and logged in <br /> accordance with the Unified Soils Classification System and screened for the presence of volatile organic <br /> compounds (VOC) using a PID. The PID results, measured in parts per million, from the field screening <br /> will be recorded on the field boring logs. The soil screening procedures will involve measuring <br /> approximately 30 grams of soil from a relatively undisturbed soil sample and placing this sample in a <br /> sealed container(zip-lock bag). The bag will be warmed in the sun for approximately 20 minutes, and the <br /> head space within the bag will be tested for VOCs. Select soil samples will be placed on ice, cooled to <br /> approximately 4 degrees Celsius(°C) and transported under chain-of-custody documentation to a State <br /> of California certified laboratory to be analyzed as summarized below. <br /> Soil samples collected from borings B-49, B-50, B-51, B-52, B-53, and B-54 (2.5 feet bgs)will be <br /> analyzed for the following constituents: <br /> • GRO [C6-C12] by USEPA Method 8015B modified <br /> • BTEX, and 1,2-DCA by USEPA Method 8260B <br /> • MTBE by USEPA Method 8260B <br /> Soil samples collected from borings B-55 (6 feet bgs) and B-56 (13 feet bgs)will be analyzed for the <br /> following constituents: <br /> • GRO [C6-C12], DRO, and TOG by USEPA Method 80158 modified <br /> • VOCs, SVOCs, PCBs, and Title 22 metals by USEPA Method 8260B <br /> arcadis.com Page: <br /> CA 06100 170519 BP Revised Work Plan.docx 3/6 <br />
