Ground Zero Analysis,Inc Page 2 Soil Investigation Work Plan Fremont Gate(E.Fremont) Project No.2010.2 May 20,2013 Soil cuttings will be containerized in DOT approved 55-gallon steel drums and held on site pending disposal profiling at which time they will be transported to a licensed facility. Soil Sample Collection Boring logs will be recorded by a geologist under the supervision of a California Professional Geologist. The logs will be prepared using the USCS and field observations to provide sediment descriptions. Soil samples will be collected in 6.0-inch brass liners using a 2.0-inch modified California split spoon sampler. All retained soil samples will be sealed with Teflon sheets, capped, labeled and placed in a cooler at 4° Celsius for transport to the laboratory following Chain of Custody protocol. A field observation process will be used to gather additional information through noting sediment type, especially grain size and the presence of clays; moisture content; visible evidence of contamination, i.e., color change due to reduction of iron or discoloration from hydrocarbons and other pollutants, and any readings above background levels on an Photo Ionization Detector(PID). The PID is a field portable instrument that uses a 10.0 eV lamp to detect compounds with ionization potential below 10.0 eV (hydrocarbon range). Up to two (2) soil samples per borehole will be submitted to the laboratory for analysis. 2.2 Soil Laboratory Analyses The soil samples will be submitted to a State certified laboratory for the following analyses: • Complete VOC Scan by EPA method(8260B) 3.0 SCHEDULE & REPORTING Ground Zero Analysis, Inc. anticipates beginning field work no later than 30 days after work plan approval and upon issuance of the drilling permit. The information gathered during this phase of work will be presented in a report which will include a summary of the geology as well as the results of sample analyses. The project will be supervised by Dr. Ray Kablanow, a registered professional geologist. Copies of the report will be forwarded to the appropriate County regulatory agencies.
