ARCADIS to wastes accumulated and/or discharged to site soil (DTSC 2007). Due to this finding, order number I&SED 07/08-005 was issued to the Gordon Family Trust for the Site. According to the non-compliance order (DTSC 2008), a portion of the order had not been completed; therefore, the Site was determined as out of compliance. The Gordon Family Trust contracted with Nichols to prepare a Chemical Identification and Disposal Plan (CIDP) for the Site. Nichols submitted the CIDP to the DTSC for approval on May 1, 2008. The DTSC approved the CIDP on May 14, 2008. The CIDP consisted of four tasks: 1) Project Setup and Notifications; 2) Hazard Categorization and Containerization; 3) Transportation and Disposal of Hazardous Materials and Wastes; and 4) Removal of Non-Hazardous Material and Debris including Structures and Transportation to an appropriate landfill. From July 7 through 18, 2008, Nichols and its subcontractors, Clean Harbors and Parc Specialty Contractors, conducted hazardous classification and identification. Global positioning waypoints were assigned to locate each container identified at the Site. Six cubic yards of asbestos-containing transite pipe and roofing panels were transported off-site on November 6, 2008. A small mason jar of mercury was discovered in the shed; the jar had been spilled in November 2008. The container was over-packed, and Parc Specialty Contractors conducted mercury vapor screening. Nichols reported that mercury vapors were not found to exceed the detection limit of the equipment used for field screening. A total of 43 fire extinguishers were removed from the Site and transported to Butch Young and Son in Stockton, California, on January 13, 2009. Compressed gas cylinders were removed from the Site and transported for disposal at Rho Chem Corporation in Inglewood, California, on January 13, 2009. Seven propane tanks were removed from the Site and transported to Amerigas in Sacramento, California. Nichols mobilized sea containers stored inside of the fenced area to containerize chemicals for shipping to disposal facilities, which included Rho Chem Corporation and Burlington Environmental, Inc., in Kent, Washington. Fifty-seven compressed gas cylinders and three boxes of glass jars for fingerprinting were planned for removal on January 23, 2009. Nichols prepared a report titled "Completion Report, Chemical Identification and Disposal Plan," dated January 26, 2009. The completion report includes the manifest, non-hazardous waste manifests, and bills of lading associated with transportation of the chemicals from the Site. Nichols' table of listing sea containers packed with chemicals identified and packed for disposal is included as Table 2. wp-PEA-Gordon-Jul10-RV009808.doc: Page 13
