Introduction The subject property was recently acquired by the City of Vernon from the United States Postal Service. A portion of the land will be used to extend 26d` Street toward the east to Bandini Boulevard from its current terminus at Atlantic Boulevard. Also, CalTrans will construct a new on -ramp from Atlantic Boulevard to the northbound I-710 Freeway on this property. In addition, the City of Vernon will deed a portion of the property to the Southern California Edison Company to allow access to an Edison facility. In anticipation of the sale of this land to the City of Vernon, the US Postal Service hired Advanced Enviro-Tech, USA to perform a subsurface soil investigation on the site. Their findings were documented in a report dated 2 February 2001. Southern California Edison hired GeoTrans, Inc. to investigate that portion of the property to be deeded to them. The findings of GeoTrans were documented in a report dated 19 December 2002. During an earlier investigation twelve surface samples had been obtained and analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbons. The sample from one location, designated Site 11, was found to contain a petroleum hydrocarbon concentration of 1,600 mg/kg. As stated in the 2 February 2001 report by Enviro-Tech,. "The odor of the soil collected and the fact that the site was used, in part, to park/store construction equipment and other vehicles, indicates the contamination, more than likely, is diesel fuel." Advanced Enviro-Tech obtained soil samples to a maximum depth of 20 feet at five locations on the property, designated Sites 3, 6, 10, 11 and 12. Selected samples were analyzed for Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH, Method 8015M/Diesel), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs, Method 8260B), and Total Lead (Method 6010B). No Proposal for Assessment and Remediation of Soils 3 Northeast Comer, Atlantic and Bandini Boulevards Vernon, CA recycling. Obtain clean soil from ART to be used in backfilling the excavation to grade. Compact the backfill to SO to 90 percent relative density. (Underground Service Alert and the South Coast Air Quality Management District will be notified in advance of the remedial effort.) (6) Make recommendations to the City concerning the need for additional investigation or remediation, if any. (7) Document the investigation in a written report, and submit a draft of the report to the City of Vernon for review and approval. Upon approval of the draft, submit four copies of the final report to the City. Rationale for Proposed Approach As proposed, all of the sampling and analysis described above would be completed prior to the initiation of soil remediation by excavation. This relative sequencing of tasks would allow a more cost efficient approach to this effort. Specifically, if laboratory results indicate the samples from 2-foot depth in the vicinity of Site 11 are sufficiently clean (as appears likely), they would serve as confirmation samples, and the excavating and backfilling could be completed on the same day. This taking of confirmation samples "in advance" would preclude the need to wait for the analysis of confirmation samples that otherwise would be obtained following the excavation work. If the 2-foot samples are not sufficiently clean, selected samples from 7-foot depth could be analyzed to gain a much better determination of the extent of impacted -soils. In this case, there would be an opportunity to consult with City officials concerning any expanded scope of the remedial effort and to discuss and seek approval of the associated cost before the start of excavating. Schedule According to the proposed schedule, Exhibit 3 in the Request for Proposal, a contract for this work is expected to be awarded by the City Council at a meeting on 2 April 2003. Assuming the award of a contract on that date, there will be ample time to complete the project, as described in the Proposed Scope of Work, before 1 June 2003, the proposed - dated for project completion. The City will be notified at least 72 hours in advance of any planned on -site work. Cost Our cost quotation to complete this work has been submitted in a separate sealed envelope. It is understood that the work "... shall be on a fix fee basis for all tasks of the work including incidental expenses." Proposal for Assessment and Remediation of Soils 4 Northeast Corner, Atlantic and Bandini Boulevards Vernon CA Insurance Prior to the initiation of work on this project, The Conservtech Group will provide proof of insurance to the City of Vernon according to the coverage and endorsements defined in the Insurance Schedule attached as Exhibit A to the Sample Agreement provided in the RFP as Exhibit 5. Management Plan and Organizational Capabilities The Scope of Work for this project is straightforward, and consequently, the required Management Plan is very simple. The planning, organization, and execution of this work will be undertaken by and through the designated Project Manager, Mr. Harry Evans. No aspect of this work will be undertaken without his knowledge or participation. Mr. Evans is well qualified to fill this role. He has extensive experience on similar projects both within Vernon and surroundings areas. On many occasions he has worked with the firms proposed as participants on this project, including InterPhase Environmental, Inc. (sampling by direct -push probe), C & E Laboratories (analyses), Jeff Nighswonger Construction, Inc. (excavating and hauling), and American Remedial Technologies (disposal by recycling). Based on personal experience, all of these companies are well qualified and responsible. They can be relied upon to act in a professional and competent manner as they fulfill their responsibilities. On many similar projects in Vernon Mr. Evans has had the opportunity to fill the same role as Project Manager, and in that capacity, he has worked extensively with City officials, especially those in the Health and Environmental Control Department. Because the offices of The Conservtech Group are located in Vernon, only a short distance from City Hall, it would be easy to meet with City officials on short notice, as needed, to respond to City concerns and requirements. Organization Chart Participants on the team for the execution of this work, as proposed by The Conservtech Group, have been identified above. The relationships among team members are shown graphically in the attached Project Organization Chart. As shown, the Project Manager, acting as team head, will report to and coordinate closely with the President, Mr. Robert MacDonald, and Chairman, Mr. Reid Delphey, of The Conservtech Group. Standard Forms for Participating Firms The attached Standard Forms for firms participating on the proposed team include the following: Form 255 for The Conservtech Group, including the resume of Harry W.

Evans Twelve with The Conservtech Group MS/1962 Instrumentation Engineering University of Michigan BS/1957 Aeronautical Engineering University of Michigan Mr. Evans has a wide range of engineering experience spanning more than 30 years in both practical and theoretical studies. His environmental experience over the last 12 years has included the assessment of commercial and industrial property. Site investigations have involved sampling and analysis and the interpretation of results. He has planned and organized the removal of underground storage tanks and the remediation of contaminated sites. Other recent experience has included the planning and implementation of facility closures to satisfy regulatory requirements. Many of these activities have involved coordination and negotiations with regulatory agencies; most have required documentation. One important aspect of his work concerns the health and safety of personnel on the job site. This requires the characterization of each site and the description of intended work activities in sufficient detail to allow the preparation of the required site -specific health and safety plan. Implementation of each plan requires the briefing of personnel, the monitoring of site conditions and activities, and the documentation of same. Much of the above experience has been gained on projects within the City of Vernon, which generally have required coordination with officials of the Vernon Environmental Health Department. There are many examples of reports prepared by The Conservtech Group in Department files.

During the escrow a small amount of soil contamination was found and the U. S. Postal Service left funds in escrow to pay for this remediation. The City of Vernon is to direct this work through a qualified consultant. The City Council approved the issuance of a req(est for proposal for the remediation of the soil contamination on this property at the City Council's Eebnaq L9r2W3 meeting. Community Services was assisted by the Environmental Health Department in identifying qualified consultants to complete this work. Thirty six consultants in this field were identified by the Environmental Health Department and the consultants were requested to submit proposals. A pre -proposal meeting was held at the City of Vernon City Council Chambers in late February 2003. Subsequently, five consultants submitted proposals on March 19, 2003. The proposals were evaluated by the department head of the Environmental Health Department, Mr. Lewis Pozzebon, the Deputy Director of the Community Services Department and myself for consultant qualifications and capabilities to perform the work. Based upon the "qualifications based selection" method of consultant selection specified in State of California Statutes, the two Departments recommend The ConservTech Group be awarded a contract for $18,036.00 to complete this work. The costs bid for this work were not the lowest cost but The ConservTech Group provides the most proficient and effective plan of action. The company has completed many similar projects, including projects in the City of Vernon and has very qualified and experienced staff available to accomplish the tasks required. Also, The ConservTech, Group has worked closely with City of Vernon, Environmental Health Department, and is very familiar with the requirements and procedures of the City permit.

In 1986, PIC created the Environmental Services Division, using our expertise in fluid and gas movement in the subsurface. We were uniquely staffed with geologists, hydrologists, chemists and engineers to enter this industry. The seven principals of the original association were experienced in dealing with environmental regulatory compliance from their various careers in the' oil industry. It is this experience that is brought forward with our younger staff to assist clients through the maze of governmental regulations, to mitigate pollution, to develop remediation plans and to implement treatment operations or removal of contaminated soil and groundwater. Today, PIC Environmental Services is an experienced, fully insured, competitive company offering complete environmental services throughout California and selected western states. PIC has handled over 4,000 environmental projects and has been involved in Phase I property assessments, undergroundstorage tank removals, Phase H site investigations, drilling/completion of vadose and groundwater monitoring wells, insitu vapor, extraction operations, bioremediation, asphalt recycling and mitigation of contaminated soils and groundwater. As a General Engineering contractor and a Hazardous Substances and Remedial Actions contractor, we general contract and subcontract virtually all environmental services. PIC's offices are located at 3628 Lynoak Drive, Suite 100, Claremont, California 91711. For further information, please contact J. Tim Hersch, president of PIC, at 909/447 6488. LGA\History(Rev. 1202) SERVICES AVAILABLE • Underground Storage Tank Removal • Field Investigations • Site Assessments • Soil/Groundwater Remediation • Vadose/Groundwater Monitoring • Regulatory Permitting • Hazardous Waste Management • Asphalt Recycling • Bioremediation • Geoprobe and Specialty Drilling LOS ANGELES, CA PIC ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES is an experienced, fully insured, competitive company offering complete environmental services throughout Southern California and selected Western States. Capitalizing on diverse and extensive petroleum industry experience, our staff includes registered geologists and engineers, technicians, facility operators and licensed construction managers. PIC has the skill to evaluate your site, find the most efficient and economical solution to your environmental problem and implement the plan in a timely manner. Federal, State and Local environmental regulations are becoming more complicated with each passing year. PIC remains current with the changes in these regulations. PIC staff have designed, permitted and installed a large number of vadose and groundwater monitoring wells, supervised and completed tank removal operations and engineered solutions to major and minor problems resulting from tank, piping and equipment leaks of various stored products. Additionally, we have worked as consultants to various municipal, county and state wide governmental agencies. We have an excellent record in establishing what needs to be done in order to: 1) Reach Compliance with Regulatory Requirements 2) Avoid Future Liabilities 3) Minimize Costs 4) Make the Environment Safe for Future Generations CAPABILITIES UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS (USTs) Several million underground storage tank systems in the United States contain petroleum or hazardous chemicals. As many as 25% of these USTs, including their piping, are currently leaking and many more are expected to leak in the future. Leaking USTs and related piping release stored products into the surrounding soil and nearby groundwater. Because many areas depend on groundwater for drinking and agriculture, federal, state and local legislation seek to safeguard our nations groundwater resources. To comply with new UST standards, tank owners have had to remove/replace older single -wall steel tanks. PIC has supervised the excavation of over 3,000 underground storage tanks. We will file closure plans, excavate the tank and piping, coordinate disposal of the tanks, perform the required soil sampling and return the site to its original condition. Acomprehensive geologic reportwith description of subsurface and groundwater conditions will be submitted to the client and the appropriate regulatory agency as required. All aspects of the operations are supervised by State Certified/Registered geologists and engineers who make sure that regulatory requirements are met. If contamination is encountered, PIC will recommend the most efficient remediation method to eliminate potential liability and advise the client regarding financial reimbursement by the State Fund. SOIL AND GROUNDWATER REMEDIATION PIC stays abreast of the latest and most inexpensive techniques available for remediating both soil and ground- water contamination. After a preliminary site investigation is completedto assessthe magnitude of contamination, our team of geologists and engineers will design, propose and implement an appropriate solution to effectively remediate your environmental hazard. We have successfully re - mediated a diverse suite of contamination problems including leaks from underground and surface storage tanks, buried and abandoned drums, chemical sumps, oil field sumps, metal plating pits, pesticide contamination and many more. PIC has successfully pioneered recycling of petroleum waste into commercial asphalt products. PIC will interface with governmental agencies to insure compliance with all pertinent regulations. We will not promote any particular remediation method but will recommend the most appropriate method, minimizing costs and future liability. HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT/INVENTORY CONTROL Our staff first investigates your unique environmental situation by examining yourwaste stream(s) and its sources. Based on this initial on -site audit, PIC's engineers will pinpoint potential safety concerns and develop a detailed action plan designed to minimize hazards, improve regulatory compliance, identify alternative solutions to handle, store and dispose or re -use the waste stream(s). PIC will oversee the implementation of the plan which focuses on reducing your liability and increasing the economic incentive to manage your waste(s) more sensibly. This includes: Inventory control Health & safety plan Treatment/recycling feasibility study Economic feasibility study Short/long term economic incentives SOIL VENTING SYSTEM Design engineers and experienced environmental geologists have combined at PIC to produce innovative solutions to groundwater and soil contamination. One of our most unique and effective methods for dealing with sub- surface soil contamination is PIC's Volatile Adsorption and Collection System (VACS). The VACS, which is trailer mounted and completely portable, utilizes an electrical pump to draw contaminated vapors out of the soil via recovery wells. Vapors are then pumped from the wells through a specially designed carbon filter which "strips" volatile contaminants from the exhaust vapors. Thus, the soil is remediated without the usual costly and labor intensive method of excavating the soil and disposing at a Class I disposal facility. The VACS equipment remediates soil effectively, inexpensively and diminishes future liability by keeping the entire process on -site. This is just one of the many innovative solutions PIC has designed to eliminate environmental hazards. SITE INVESTIGATION/ASSESSMENT Property owners may be liable by state and local regulations for any surface or subsurface contamination that may exist on their property. If you are interested in buying property, loaning money on property or selling property that has any risk of soil or groundwater con- tamination, it is in your interest to have a thorough environmental evaluation done to avoid potential and costly present, future or unexpected liability. PIC has extensive experience in evaluating potential contamination of soil or groundwater at hundreds of sites. Site evaluations are performed in the following steps. 1) Determining the risks. The history of industrial and agricultural development of the property is investigated to determine the potential sources of contamination. Every industry uses a unique suite of potentially hazardous chemicals. The staff at PIC have experience in determining the possible contaminants in soil and groundwater based on the history of the property and surrounding area. 2) Determining the environmental sensitivity. A preliminary geological and hydrological evaluation is done based on available published and in-house data. PIC uses these data to determine the environmental sensitivity of your property and the most appropriate method of site investigation. 3) Evaluating the site. PIC's geologists and engineers use a graduated program of soil borings and groundwater wells to quickly and efficiently obtain data necessary to properly evaluate subsurface conditions. During the investigation, all interfaces with regulatory agencies are handled by PIC to assure compliance. 4) The drilling and laboratory results are quickly incor- porated into a comprehensive report. In addition to the findings, PIC will make recommendations for the best available remediation alternatives, if required, and the potential costs involved in remediating the site.

Environmental Consultants 3711 Long Beach Boulevard 562 426-9544 Ninth Floor FAX 562 427-0805 Long Beach, CA 90807-3315 www.scsengineers.com March 19, 2003 File No. 01394202 Mr. Kevin Wilson City of Vernon Community Services and Water Department 4305 Santa Fe Avenue Vernon, California 90058 Subject: Proposal to Conduct Assessment and Remediation of Soils, Atlantic and Bandini Boulevards, Vernon, California Dear Mr. Wilson: SCS Engineers (SCS) is pleased to submit this proposal in response to the City of Vernon's (City's) Request for Proposal (RFP) for the assessment and remediation of soils on the City's property located on the northwest corner of Atlantic and Bandini Boulevards. It is our under- standing that the property will be utilized for a new freeway access ramp. This investigation will be completed to further assess and remediate soils identified in previous investigations. SCOPE OF WORK Assessment and remediation will consist of the following elements: • Prepare a site -specific workplan and health and safety plan for remediation and soil assessment activities for approval by the City of Vernon Health and Environmental Control. • Contact underground service alert a minimum of 48 hours prior to initiating work. • Excavate, transport. and dispose of approximately 1,200 cubic feet of TPH-impacted soil identified from previous investigation. • Collect confirmation soil samples (maximum of six) from soils at a depth of 1 to 2 feet below ground surface. • Advance one soil boring to a maximum depth of 20 feet bgs, collecting soil samples at 5- foot intervals. • Submit soil samples to a state -certified laboratory for analysis of total petroleum hydro- carbons using EPA Method 8015. Samples will be analyzed on a standard 7- to 10-day turnaround. • Prepare a summary report documenting soil sampling activities. Offices Nationwide Mr. Kevin Wilson March 19, 2003 Page 2 Workplan and Health and Safetv Plan A site -specific workplan and health and safety plan will be prepared and submitted to the City of Vernon Health and Environmental Control for approval. Remediation As required under California regulations, SCS will mark the proposed excavation and soil boring locations and notify Underground Service Alert of the proposed subsurface activities. SCS proposes to excavate an approximately 20-foot by 30-foot by 2-foot deep area of petro- leum hydrocarbon -impacted soils identified in a previous soils investigation (approximately 1,200 cubic feet). Soils will be loaded and transported for recycling at a certified facility based on data from the February 2, 2001, Advanced-Enviro Tech USA report for the property. A maxi- mum of five confirmation soil samples will be collected from the base of the excavated area and sent to a California -certified laboratory for total petroleum hydrocarbons analysis using EPA Method 8015. Additionally, one sample will be analyzed for Title 22 metals for disposal pur- poses. Clean imported fill will be brought in and compacted from 80 to 90 percent. Soil Assessment Based on previous investigations conducted on the property, a single boring will be advanced in the area of "Site 11" using a direct push (Strataprobe) method. The boring will be utilized in conjunction with data from previous investigations to determine the need for remediation in this area of the property. Soil samples will be collected at 5-foot intervals within the boring to a depth of 20 feet below ground surface. Soil samples will be collected in brass or acetate sample sleeves. A maximum of five soil samples collected from this area will be analyzed at a certified laboratory for total petroleum hydrocarbons using EPA Method 8015. Samples will be managed using accepted protocols and following chain -of -custody procedures. Report A report combining all of the areas investigated above will be prepared by SCS, summarizing the investigation, presenting analytical results, and providing an interpretation and recommen- dations based on the data. The report will be sent to the client within 2 to 3 weeks after the field investigation has been completed. Subcontractors In conformance with the City's preference for minority- or woman -owned businesses in com- pleting contracts, SCS will make every effort to comply by selecting such businesses as subcontractors as needs arise.

The design engineers have well -established rapport with tank, piping, and control system suppliers; and extensive input from safety personnel and field personnel who regularly install fueling and remediation systems. WPI can offer Bio-Spec specification packages for design engineering projects. WPI personnel have established relationships with most of the local and state agencies within California and other western states. Familiarity with the stringent regulations that are required by the City of Los Angeles, South Coast AQMD, and CARB readily enable WPI engineers to comply with other agency requirements. Specification packages and plan_ s are prepared by ■ Variable completion levels by percentage, as requested by the client; and ■ AutoCad, Version 14 to interface with client software and existing plans. Design packages are subjected to extensive QA/QC review by peers and by " WPI field personnel to avoid omissions that can result in contractor questions or potentially higher bid costs. 3.1 Project Management/Control Practices WPI personnel are accustomed to effectively managing numerous sites due to the extensive experience gained while working for the major oil companies. Project management approaches have led WPI to win awards and promote client confidence. 3.1.1 Communications The WPI project managers inform clients during each project's performance of the fieldwork with daily verbal reports and a minimum of weekly updates during other phases of the work. Written progress reports are submitted on a weekly basis during system start-up and on a monthly basis to summarize the status of the project and to document the work performed for submittal to the regulatory agencies, as required. 3.1.2 Cost Control/Project Accounting WPI has a flexible accounting system that has been configured to meet various client cost 'accounting requirements. To ensure accuracy, the Project Manager reviews month -end progress reports and draft invoices prior to submittal to the client. Requested work that is not a part of the original scope or emergency response services to be performed by WPI is submitted in a change order proposal format for written authorization by the client prior to performing the work. Additional work authorized on a time -and -material basis results in generation of a separate task item that is typically individually tracked and invoiced as a Scope of Work modification. Page 6 Statement of "QUALIFICATIONS 3.1.3 Schedule Adherence WPI project managers are accustomed to using the latest project management software to track and coordinate subcontractors and material suppliers to ensure that schedules are met. 3.1.4 Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) QA/QC procedures are established in accordance with WPI's existing in-house practices of mandated peer and professional review system. Senior staff review project performance and technical documentation to maintain precision and accuracy. Business Unit Managers interface with the Project Manager and client personnel on a regular basis to maintain the work schedule and budget goals. 3.2 : ,Site Investigation Services Site Investigation Technologies ■ Traditional hollow -stem augering ■ Geoprobe® equipment for soil gas and discreet soil sampling ■ Cone penetrometer testing equipment for soil and groundwater ■ Air/mud rotary and percussion drill rigs for well installations ■ Invasive and passive soil gas sampling technologies Often, remediation system components such as vapor extraction or air sparging wells can be installed during the site investigation phase of a project, resulting in overall lower project costs. Since the mid-1970s, WPI has performed over 500 site investigations within the western United States. Few other environmental firms possess the extensive knowledge of the area based on the experience of WPI's geologic staff and the number of locations worked. Specific soil and groundwater conditions are readily available from personal experience or from project files. Regulatory agency requirements are continuously updated and tracked, which allows us to develop site investigation work plans that meet agency requirements and are the most cost effective.

WPI has extensive experience in performing R1/FS field tests. WPI was the first company in southern California to perform a vapor extraction test for submittal to the South Coast Air Quality Control District (SCAQMD). The vapor extraction testing parameters developed by WPI have become industry standards. WPI also performs aquifer tests and modeling to evaluate groundwater and aquifer characteristics. WPI maintains the following in-house equipment to perform RI/FS field tests: ■ Field instruments and survey equipment • Groundwater monitoring trailers and equipment • Groundwater pumps and associated hoses ■ Packaged groundwater treatment skids ■ Hi -Vac groundwater/vapor extraction units • Multi -channel data logger Sparge testing apparatus ■ Support trucks with measurement devices ■ Vapor extraction units • Well development rigs WPI technicians and professional staff have performed the following tests: ■ Air Sparge Response Tests • Aquifer Modeling ■ Aquifer Tests ■ Biotreatability And Degradation Testing • Constant Discharge Aquifer Test ■ Dual Phase Extraction ■ Respiration Tests ■ Slug Tests • Sparge Test ■ Steady State Aquifer Test ■ Vapor Extraction Test Page 8 Statement of QUALIFICATIONS 3.3.1 Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study Testing, Representative Project Experience Edwards Air Force Base, California WPI was responsible for design, construction and operation of a mobile dual -phase extraction system for multiple site testing at an active military base. Twin systems using a refrigerated liquid ring pump, together with direct groundwater extraction, were used to test well vapor and liquid flow capacity. Design tasks included complete P&IDs, electrical, mechanical, safety design and permitting. The rapid turnaround and faultless operation of the on site equipment _ensured that the client was well received by the base authorities. Major Oil Companies Over 500 Locations, CA, WA, NV, AZ, OK, and TX WPI was responsible for permitting vapor extraction tests at over 500 sites with all appropriate agencies. The tests consisted essentially of placing a vacuum on a test well and measuring the response at various observation wells. The vacuum on the test well was varied to determine the flow capacity. Vapor samples were collected to determine total hydrocarbons by both field measurement and laboratory analyses. Test results were evaluated to determine the air permeability of the soils, the effective radius of vacuum influence, and the expected maximum hydrocarbon extraction rate. Based on the data, WPI determined if vapor extraction technology was the appropriate remediation process for each site. Major Oil Companies Over 50 Locations, California and Nevada WPI was responsible for conducting pump tests and subsequent analysis to determine the hydrogeologic conditions at each site. Groundwater was extracted at controlled rates and groundwater levels were measured in the test wells and nearby observation wells using water - level transducers and a datalogger. The groundwater level observations were utilized to determine transmissivity, specific yield, and hydraulic conductivity. A cone of depression resulting from the test was also determined. The pump test and resulting information were utilized for groundwater modeling to determine if pumping would inhibit off -site migration of impacted groundwater. The resulting information was also used for remedial design decisions. Page 9 Statement of 'QUALIFICATIONS 3.4 Large -Scale Groundwater Monitoring Programs In 1974, WPI first sampled groundwater for environmental purposes. Since 1981, WPI has maintained a staff of geologists, engineers, chemists, environmental scientists, and environmental technicians including registered geologists and engineers for groundwater monitoring tasks. WPI routinely obtains necessary various locations NPDES permits for access to public right-of-ways. Groundwater Monitoring Experience ■ Approximately 450 quarterly groundwater reports generated each quarter ■ Approximately 1,800 wells at 450 sites sampled each quarter ■ Cost-effective data acquisition to obtain closure with minimum expenditures ■ Cost-effective, large scale groundwater monitoring programs ■ Groundwater monitoring programs custom designed for each client WPI specializes in cost-effective, large-scale groundwater monitoring programs for major oil companies and commercial clients. WPI provides some of the lowest per well sampling rates in the industry due to the large number of sites that can be efficiently scheduled. The WPI groundwater monitoring programs are custom designed for each client to minimize the number and frequency of wells that require sampling and gauging. With recent adjustments to the regulations in regard to groundwater monitoring, accurate and cost-effective data . acquisition is imperative to obtain closure with minimum expenditures. 3.4.1 Groundwater Monitoring Programs, Representative Project Experience Major Oil Companies, Various Locations, Southern California Groundwater monitoring is conducted by six WPI technician crews utilizing in-house trucks, tanker trailers, bailers, and pumps to gauge, purge, and sample monitoring wells. Approximately 1,500 wells, at just under 450 sites, are sampled each quarter and 325 groundwater reports are generated each quarter. An in-house client memo reported that the overall costs of their quarterly groundwater monitoring compliance were reduced from over $3 million per year to just under $1 million per year as a result of this monitoring program.

WPI has also provided a groundwater monitoring program for Chevron in the Southern California area. Awards To WPI Personnel Project Manager of the Year Outstanding Project Award, 1993 Best Environmental Report Award, 1990/1991 4.3 Comprehensive Remediation System Design, Installation, Operation and Maintenance WPI has a Iona history of successfully completing the design, installation, operation/maintenance, and closure of large-scale remediation systems. One of the first projects performed by WPI involved the response to a catastrophic 8,000-gallon gasoline release from an UST. In 1995, WPI completed the installation of a groundwater recovery and treatment system for chlorinated hydrocarbons at a Hughes Aircraft Facility located in Fullerton, California. Unlike many consultants who subcontract construction work, WPI engineers work together with the construction foremen and technicians on a daily basis, thereby keeping up to date with the most efficient methods to install systems in the field. Benefits of WPI Performing Large Scale Turn -key Projects ■ Accurate time/task-allocated budgets developed during project inception ■ Comprehensive approach results in system efficiency ■ Construction staff understands project objectives • Design, installation, O&M, closure • WPI engineers work concurrently with construction foremen on site Additionally, through consistent project involvement, the construction staff understands the objectives of the remediation systems and improves on the installation to meet those objectives. The remediation process through closure encompasses many phases. WPI, with a comprehensive understanding of all phases of the process, is better able to plan ahead two or three years and provide the most cost effective systems over time. Page 13 statement of 4.3.1 Comprehensive Remediation System Installations Representative Project Experience Shell Service Station Las Vegas Hilton Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada WPI responded to a catastrophic leak of over 8,000-gallons of gasoline. The hydrocarbons were flowing towards a dewatering well located in a below ground surface boiler room in the Hilton Hotel. At three locations; 26-inch diameter recovery wells were installed in the interceptor trench. A groundwater discharge pump and a filter scavenger (total fluid) were installed in each well. The two pumps allowed for depression of the water surface and separate collection of the hydrocarbons. The recovered hydrocarbons were pumped to an underground storage tank. Groundwater from the depression pumps was processed through a separator and discharged into sanitary sewer facilities. Projects Highlights ■ Catastrophic leak of over 8,000 gallons ■ Closure obtained after 3 years of groundwater monitoring • Groundwater and product recovery product pumps installed in the trench and in recovery wells ■ Installation of a barrier/recovery trench ■ Product removed after 18 months of operation ■ Recovery wells 26 inches in diameter ■ Work plan and remediation plan approval by Clark County Nevada Environmental Protection Division Approximately 18 inches of product was measured during initial pumping from the recovery trench. Remediation activities were conducted under the oversight of Clark County, Nevada Environmental Protection Division, and the Environmental Protection Agency. Product was not measured in the trench after 18 months of operation. Regulatory closure was granted following approximately three years of groundwater monitoring after the completion of remediation. Page 14 Statement of QUALIFICATIONS Former Hughes Aircraft Facility, Fullerton, California WPI constructed and installed a groundwater remediation system capable of recovering and treating 600 gpm of chlorinated -solvent -impacted groundwater. WPI was responsible for the complete construction/installation of the extraction, collection, treatment, disposal, and control systems. WPI mobilized a crew of 28 tradesmen and operators resulting in the completion of construction/installation in 150 days, within the client's schedule. The extraction/collection system consisted of double -wall fiberglass conveyance piping, well -head completions (vaults, piping, and instrumentation), leak detection equipment, and electrical conduits and conductor (including fiber optic cable). The treatment system included the construction of a fabricated steel building and installation of an air stripping tower, an air blower, a heat exchanger, vapor - phase carbon adsorbers (10,000 pounds of activated carbon), liquid -phase carbon adsorbers (20,000 pounds of activated carbon), and ancillary equipment. The disposal system consists of injection pumps, PVC conveyance piping, and well -head completions (vaults, piping, and instrumentation). Primary System Components • Fabricated steel building ■ Air stripping tower, air blower, heatexchanger • Vapor -phase carbon adsorbers (10,000 pounds of activated carbon) • Liquid -phase carbon adsorbers (20,000 pounds of activated carbon) The control system construction/installation consisted of building a main control and operations center, and a network of four satellite control and operations centers. The control centers contained all necessary equipment for direct interface to the sensing elements, switches, transmitters, motor starters, and actuators. Each control center included a microprocessor, controller, power supply, I/O processor, communication port, termination strips, and battery backup components. Page 15 Statement of QUALIFICATIONS The work areas included the Hughes property, local streets, and the Fullerton Airport. WPI was able to obtain approval from the City of Fullerton and the Federal Aviation Administration to cross the airport property saving considerable time and money. Piping and Control Wiring ■ 5,050 linear feet of double -wall fiberglass conveyance piping (3 to 10-inch-diameter) ■ 6,400 linear feet of PVC conveyance piping (6 to 8-inch-diameter) ■ 35,500 linear feet of conduit ■ 64,100 linear feet of conductor ■ 9,100 linear feet of fiber optic cable ■ 840 linear feet PVC potable water supply piping Abandoned Gasoline Service Station, West Los Angeles, California WPI performed the engineering design work to incorporate a vapor extraction, air sparging, and groundwater extraction system into a proposed 2-story office building with an underground parking garage. The remediation equipment was incorporated within compounds designed into the building. WPI obtained variances and final approval of detailed plans for the system from the Los Angeles City Department of Building and Safety. Primary System Components ■ Vapor extraction, air sparging, and groundwater extraction equipment ■ 3,000 feet of piping ■ System incorporated within compounds designed into the building ■ Variances and final approval from Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety ■ Piping and 15 associated wells installed within a 10-day time period during building construction The piping system and 15 associated wells were installed within a 10-day time period during the building construction. Approximately 3,000 feet of piping was installed within the property. Installation of vaults required matching elevations of the proposed slab with the underground parking lot. A 1,000-gallon tank was installed to hold treated groundwater. All work required coordination with the general contractor, mechanical contractor, electrical contractor, soil engineer and architect. The lawyer for Page 16 Statement of the property owner and general contractor sent a letter of commendation to Chevron U.S.A. Product Company complimenting Mr. Tuan (the Chevron Project Engineer) and "I. Service Station, Orange County, California WPI designed and permitted a remediation system to remove petroleum hydrocarbons and MTBE from soil and groundwater. System construction included installation of approximately 17,000 feet of piping to vaults associated with vapor extraction wells and trenches, sparge wells, and groundwater extraction wells. Activities also included construction of the treatment compound and installation of all remediation equipment. The groundwater extraction pumps were controlled by pressure transducers that utilize variable frequency drives to change the pump rate in response to groundwater fluctuations due to tidal influence. Project Highlights ■ Removal of petroleum hydrocarbons and MTBE from soil and groundwater ■ Construction included 17,000 feet of piping to vaults ■ Groundwater pumps controlled by transducers with variable frequency drives to adjust to tidal groundwater fluctuations ■ 1,000-scfm vapor extraction unit to extract soil vapors in conjunction with an air sparging system The combined flow of 150 gpm is processed through an oil / water separator and then to an advanced oxidation tank that destroys 98% of the petroleum hydrocarbons and 85% of the MTBE. The groundwater is then passed through 20,000 pounds of carbon for polishing prior to discharge into a storm water discharge channel (Bolsa Channel). The remediation of the soil and groundwater is accomplished using a 1,000-scfm vapor extraction unit to extract soil vapors in conjunction with an air sparging system. Page 17 Statement of 4.4 Soil Vapor Extraction Systems WPI has designed, permitted, constructed, and installed piping, treatment compounds, controls, and equipment necessary for soil vapor extraction remediation systems at over 200 sites in California and other western states since the early 1980's. We are familiar with inspectors from local health, fire, and public works departments. The systems have varied from simple two well designs with carbon adsorption treatment, to complex, multi -well installations with the capacity to treat vapor streams in excess of 2000 scfm. WPI's design and installation teams have created piping manifolds, treatment compounds, and equipment installation procedures that optimize the performance of the systems. In 1986, we identified the need for a system remediate petroleum -impacted soil without excavation, which would comply with new air regulations. WPI personnel invented and patented an internal combustion engine specifically for the purpose of soil venting (currently sold under the trade name of VR Systems). WPI permitted the VR Systems' engine with the Air Quality Control District and various fire and public works departments in California. Project Highlights ■ Full system design and layout, P& ID's, latest in CADD capability ■ Soil vapor extraction remediation systems at over 200 sites ■ Permitted with most of southern California's local agencies • WPI invented and patented the VR Systems internal combustion engine specifically for soil vapor extraction ■ Design, installation and operation of vapor treatment systems ■ Vapor phase activated carbon ■ Catalytic/thermal oxidizers ■ Developed an automatically adjusting and remotely controlled vapor extraction system to The involvement with the VR Systems' engine and other remedial technologies has resulted in WPI being one of the oldest and most experienced soil vapor extraction and treatment contractors in California. Page 18 Statement of QuALORICATIONS 4.5 Groundwater Recovery and Treatment Systems WPI has permitted, constructed, and installed piping, compounds, controls, and equipment necessary for groundwater remediation systems since 1974 at over 75 sites in California, Nevada, Arizona, Oregon, and Washington. We are experienced in working with regulatory personnel and inspectors from various cities' health, fire, and public works departments. WPI recognizes the limitations of using pump -and - treat as the sole remediation technology at sites, as this technology has restored groundwater quality at few, if any, sites. Instead, groundwater recovery will likely be combined with other technologies, such as soil excavation or vapor extraction, to expedite site cleanup. The objectives of groundwater recovery systems are to hydraulically control or contain groundwater contamination, expose a larger thickness of soil to vapor extraction technologies, and/or to eventually reduce concentrations in groundwater to acceptable levels suitable for regulatory closure. Groundwater remediation methods used by WPI include: ■ Air sparging ■ Bioreactors ■ Enhanced in situ bioremediation, including oxygenation (oxygen releasing compounds and biosparging) • High vacuum/dual-phase remediation systems • Liquid phase activated carbon ■ Manufacturing of modular on -site groundwater remediation skids since the mid-1980s ■ Pumping from recovery trenches, drains, or wells ■ Ultraviolet peroxidation and ozonation For groundwater recovery systems to remediate sites in a timely manner, the contaminant source must be removed. Residual soluble contaminants in vadose zone soil and in soil below the groundwater table will continue to act as a source for dissolved -phase contaminants, thereby prolonging site cleanup. 4.6 Product Recovery and Treatment Systems WPI has permitted, constructed, installed piping, compounds, controls, and equipment for product recovery systems since 1974 at over 30 sites in southern and central California. The primary objectives of product recovery are to minimize or control the migration of liquid -phase product, and to recover as much product as possible. Product recovery utilizes a variety of techniques, including periodic well pumpouts, passive and automated product skimmers, single- and dual -pump recovery wells, bioslurping and vapor extraction. Periodic well pumpouts and passive/ automated product skimmers are generally an appropriate interim measure until a more suitable system can be installed. Page 19 Statement of QUALIFICATIONS The equipment and technologies provided by WPI include the following ■ Automated and passive skimmers ■ Bioslurping remediation systems ■ Innovative limited airsparging/oxygenation technologies ■ Installation of aboveground/ underground recovered product tanks ■ Manufacturing of modular onsite remediation skids including oil/water separators since the mid-1980s • Total fluid pumps 4.7 Emergency Response WPI provides emergency response and remediation services for pipeline or tank releases, structure fires and natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes for major oil companies and commercial clients. Emergency Response and Remediation at Major Oil Company Sites due to Northridge Earthquake Damage Emergency response personnel can be placed onsite throughout the western United States within a maximum of four hours. Typical response time within California is a maximum of one to two hours. WPI personnel work on behalf of our client and in conjunction with local hazardous materials response crews to isolate the site and minimize the impact to the environment. The immediate health or environmental risks are assessed and proper controls such as berming for surface waters or dust controls are implemented. Short- and long-term remediation work plans are then established. Bioslurping is an innovative technology that accelerates the removal of product and stimulates biodegradation. WPI has the equipment to perform pilot tests and operate a full- scale bioslurping system. Single- and dual -pump recovery wells remove both product and groundwater while creating a hydraulic depression that enhances product capture and minimizes product migration. Hazardous material releases that WPI personnel have responded to include: • Petroleum hydrocarbons (gasoline, diesel and crude oil) ■ Heavy metals ■ Pesticides and PCBs ■ Acid and caustic spills ■ Industrial chemicals, solvents ■ Radioactive materials • Paints Response Time ■ Maximum of 4 hours response time within the western United States ■ Maximum of 1 to 2 hours response time within California ■ Health and safety trained personnel for Levels A, B, C and D Page 20 Statement of 5.0 PROJECT EXPERIENCE UPDATE Summary of Large -Scale Soil and Groundwater Remediation Systems by Wayne Perry, Inc. Engineering Department WPI's engineering involvement in large-scale projects began in early 1997 and continues to the present. Major challenges that WPI has overcome include determination of cost-effective methods of removing methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) from the groundwater, minimal space for construction of surface facilities, and installation of underground conduits and piping within dense urban environments. Engineering services have included the following: 1) permitting, design, installation, and operation of a temporary groundwater pumping and treatment system for aquifer testing-, 2) a feasibility study to determine the method of groundwater treatment for a dedicated system; 3) preparation of remedial action plans for soil and groundwater; and 4) permitting, design, and construction of a turn -key soil and groundwater treatment facility. Temporary Groundwater Treatment System In support of aquifer pumping tests performed by WPI's Geoscience Department, the WPI Engineering Department has constructed temporary systems for treatment of groundwater by Advanced Oxidation Process (ultraviolet light [UV]/hydrogen peroxide) and granular activated carbon (GAC). Work has included obtaining NPDES discharge permits, negotiations with public utilities to obtain space for systems, design and installation of temporary submersible pumping systems and aboveground piping, coordination with equipment vendors, provisions for 1 Megawatt of temporary electric power, and system startup and operation. One major system operated with 0% down time during two -month aquifer tests, and consistently met all NPDES discharge specifications for MTBE and other petroleum hydrocarbons. Groundwater pumped during the aquifer test averaged 7,000 ug/1 of MTBE at a flow rate of approximately 60 gallons per minute Q, in). Feasibility Studies The combination of UV/peroxide and GAC has been used in a major temporary system. This has proven to be a reliable method of treating groundwater. WPI has evaluated other treatment options because of high projected electric power costs of UV/peroxide at the anticipated flow rate of 400 GPM. The feasibility study included the following activities: ■ Field pilot testing of other technologies including air stripping and two alternative advanced oxidation processes involving ozone/hydrogen peroxide. Tests were performed using the same extraction wells used for the aquifer test at a pumping rate of approximately 60 gpm. ■ Laboratory accelerated column tests and isotherm modeling to quantify adsorption of MTBE onto GAC. ■ Analysis of capital and operating costs for various technology combinations for treatment of groundwater and VOC-laden air stripper off -gas. Page 21 Statement of QUALIFICATIONS ■ Ranking of seven technology combinations for qualitative factors such as safety, reliability, flexibility to changing site conditions, and community acceptance. Based on the results of the feasibility study, air stripping followed by GAC polishing was selected as the primary treatment method for a major oil company site. A regenerative thermal oxidizer (RTO) was selected as the most practical and cost-effective system for treating air stripper off -gas. Remedial Action Plans WPI prepares and submits an Interim Remedial Action Plan (RAP) for Groundwater to the California Regional Water Quality Control Board. Plans summarize the results of aquifer tests and feasibility studies, presents hydraulic containment plans, and includes preliminary drawings and flow diagrams for groundwater treatment systems. A major treatment system design included three 6-foot-diameter by 40-foot-high air stripping towers connected in series, and a 10,000 SCFM capacity RTO. In a subsequent addendum to the Groundwater RAP, WPI included detailed process and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs) and included provisions for adding UV/peroxide to the process stream for treatment of tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) recently detected in the groundwater. WPI prepares and submits RAPS for Soil that may include a soil vapor extraction (SVE) pilot test data analysis, review of remedial options for soil, and a proposal for implementation of soil vapor extraction. Plans may include detailed P&IDs for surface equipment including a vapor extraction blower and connection to the RTO used to treat air stripper off -gas. Turn -key Soil and Groundwater Treatment Systems One major system installation began with trenching and piping connections to groundwater and vapor extraction wells. Other activities included 1) vendor selection for purchase of the RTO, air stripping towers, AOP unit, surge tanks, and chemical storage tanks; 2) negotiations with the City Planning Commission, Building Department, and Fire Department; and 3) structural design and permitting of the underground vaults, footings, containment areas, and control building. Underground work included 3,000 feet of trenching, 40,000 feet of piping and electrical conduit, vaults, foundation, and containment berms. The complete system includes a two-story control building, motor control center, surge tanks, air stripping towers, RTO, AOP system, transfer pumps, and an integrated control system. All civil and mechanical design work was done in-house by WPI. There were significant challenges to construction of this system within an urban environment including: ■ Underground utilities: in order to make connections to wells located on the north side of a major boulevard, a 24-inch-diameter by 320-foot horizontal boring was drilled under the street. The boring was drilled 20 feet below grade to avoid existing street utilities at shallower depths. ■ Small footprint: Only two small, narrow land parcels, located on utility company property, were available for construction of the system. The first parcel, used for the control building, air strippers, AOP system, and RTO, directly abuts a major freeway. The second parcel, used for the surge tanks and GAC vessels, is located approximately 100 feet from the first parcel. Page 22 Statement of QUAIJIFICATIONS The soil and groundwater treatment system is operated by a programmable logic controller (PLC) -based control system that interfaces with all aspects of the system including submersible groundwater pumps, surge tank level controller, air stripping towers, the RTO, the AOP system, variable speed drive pumps, the SVE vacuum blower, and multiple leak detection sensors. A PC -based human -machine interface (HMI) allows for automatic system startup/shutdown, real-time access to all measured parameters, and data acquisition/archiving. 6.0 HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICIES/PROCEDURES Field work provided by WPI and subcontractor personnel is performed in accordance with our Corporate Health and Safety Plan Guidelines and a site -specific Site Safety and Health Plan.
