Upon conducting a thorough walk of the parcel AEMC noted no evidence of soil contamination. The entire facility is tilled and apparently free of surface structures. AEMC utilized a Metrotech #81C) pipeline tracer in an attempt to locate the t_tndergrot_tnd (approximately 6 -Feet) oil transport lines. The pipeline locator did not detect the presence of pipeline at and near the assumed locations identified in Attachment 2A. Since the possibility existed that the pipeline was either broken or somehow not able to condt_tct an electrical charge, AEMC decided to excavate a 22, -foot long, 8 -foot deep trench (Attachment 2A) across the assumed locations of the Pipeline. Upon trench e;•:cavation, no pipelines were discovered. The Excavated soils showed no signs of contamination from crt_tde oil or any other toxic materials. At this point AEMC concluded that the pipelines were removed for salvage upon closure of the pumping station. Conclusions AEMC discovered no evidence which directly indicates that the Dynasty parcel (AFN 2.--15-22) is contaminated with toxic materials. The investigation findings which st_tpport this statement follow: o No visible signs of soil contamination exist onsite. o Research suggests the property has always been free of surface structures. o No evidence available that City Corporation Yard or Southern Pacific Railroad activities rest_tlted in toxic contamination of the Dynasty parcel. o No reason to believe that the crt_tde oil spilled on properties to the northwest cot_tl d have migrated throt_tgh the soils to the Dynasty parcel. o Grot_tndwater in the vicinity of the crt_tde oil property flows in a northerly direction, away from the Dynasty Parcel. AEMC believes that the most likely source of toxic contamination at the Dynasty parcel would have been through the crude oil transport lines, which are assumed to have crossed the north portion of the parcel. Field investigations st_tpport the assumptions that the pipeline may never never have crossed the parcel; the pipelines crossed the parcel at some other location; or the pipeline was removed for salvage. If the pipeline did cross the Dynasty parcel, the possibility exists that crt_tde oil may have leaked from the pipeline and cat_tsed soil contamination, althot_tgh no information has been found to substantiate this Possibility.
