General Motion To Waive Full Reading And Approve Ordinances By Title Only Pursuant To California Government Code Section 36934 MEETING DATE: September 22, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staffs recommendation that the City Council approve a general motion to waive full reading and approve Ordinances by title only pursuant to California Government Code Section 36934.

BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION:

In order to expedite the conduct of business at Council meetings, California State Law (California Government Code Section 36934) allows Ordinances to be read by title if a majority of the Council supports the motion waiving the full reading. Most California cities adopt a standard motion at the beginning of each meeting in order to effectuate this waiver.

Since most of the Ordinances introduced and adopted consist of multiple pages of technical language, reading by title only allows the Council to eliminate the communication of redundant information and attend to other matters during the meetings. Otherwise, the entire Ordinance language will have to be read in full.

CONCLUSION:

Allowing ordinances to be read by title only, according to California State Law, will expedite the conduct of business at Council Meetings.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

CITY OF BELL GARDENS

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Michael B. O'Kelly, City Manager
BY: Manuel Acosta, Director of Community Development
SUBJECT: Consideration of a Resolution Approving a Third Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement with WSP USA, Inc., (WSP; Formerly Wood Environment & Infrastructure Inc.) for Environmental Remediation Consulting Services for 5600-5636 Shull Street (Former Berk Oil Site)
DATE: September 22, 2025
RECOMMENDATION:

It is staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Third Amendment to the Master Agreement with WSP USA, Inc. (WSP; Formerly Wood Environment & Infrastructure Inc.).

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:

Since 1985 the former Berk Oil site on Shull Street ("Project Site"/"Site") has been the subject of numerous investigations and reports of contamination. The Project Site is a Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) EnviroStor site. EnviroStor is DTSC's data management system for tracking cleanup, permitting, enforcement and investigation efforts for sites with known or potential contamination.

The Project Site was used for the manufacturing of cardboard forms for gasoline tanks.

This facility was later occupied by metal finishing businesses through the early 1990s.

The western portion of the subject property was used for asphalt mixing and oil distribution from approximately 1965 through 1989 when the facility was demolished. Six known underground storage tanks (USTs) and a sub -grade steam cleaning sump were used during their years of operation. A fire destroyed a sizable portion of the former metal finishing facility. Preliminary investigations revealed volatile organic and petroleum hydrocarbon contamination across several of the parcels. There was concern that contamination sources were polluting the underlying groundwater, further compromising environmental conditions within the City of Bell Gardens ("City") and beyond.

Page 64 of 591 ends

The property was sold to the City of Bell Gardens Redevelopment Agency in 1992. Since the acquisition, the area has lain fallow and unused and has recently had conceptual approvals for residences and erection of an electronic billboard.

In August 2011, DTSC approved a Targeted Site Investigation (TSI) for the Project Site, which consisted of a contiguous series of vacant parcels, bounded by residences to the north, and to the west by the I-710 freeway. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) is the lead agency working with DTSC and the City for the Project Site's cleanup activities. The Project Site is an Open Site Assessment with the RWQCB as of October 19, 2015, designated as Berk Oil (SL163462338), 5614 Shull St, Bell Gardens, CA 90201.

In 2021, Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation that allocated $500 million to expedite the cleanup and beneficial reuse of contaminated properties. Senate Bill 158 authorized DTSC to implement a new grant program to investigate and clean up contaminated properties in communities overburdened by pollution. As a result of the former industrial use of the Site, the current and future use is affected by real and perceived environmental contamination characterizing it as a brownfield site. The ECRG provides financial assistance to communities via reimbursable grants to investigate and clean up brownfield sites through a competitive process. The City applied for and was awarded the funds from the ECRG to clean up the Site for residential purposes. The City's application to reimburse eligible environmental cleanup activities was approved by the DTSC's Office of Brownfields on June 6, 2022, for a period of 24 months. The awarded amount is to address the historically disproportionate impacts to communities and to revitalize land for public benefit within the Project Site. In doing so, equitable development is promoted by advancing economic opportunity, preventing displacement, increasing connectivity, developing healthy and safe communities, and supporting environmental justice.

On October 24, 2022, the City approved a Professional Services Agreement with WSP USA, Inc. (WSP; Formerly Wood Environment & Infrastructure Inc.) (Consultant) to be the environmental consultant for the ECRG Grant. Since the prior approval of the Professional Services Agreement, the RWQCB has requested additional vapor remediation and associated sampling and testing to be completed, specifically Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE), a remediation process for volatile contaminants.

On April 8, 2024, a First Amendment to the Professional Services Agreement was approved to authorize the requested term extension and scope of work modification. The additional SVE work required by the RWQCB was estimated to cost $800,000. The Professional Services Agreement was originally scheduled to terminate on December 31, 2024, and was extended to December 31, 2025.

On April 10, 2025, a Second Amendment was approved, which included the additional services set forth in Consultant's February 26, 2025 "Second Amendment Request to

Page 65 of 591 ends

Professional Services Agreement for Remediation Consulting Services at the former Berk Oil Site."
The Second Amendment increased the total Not -To -Exceed amount of $1,629,907 by $650,000 for a new total not -to -exceed sum of $2,279,907 due to the additional SVE services required.

On August 26, 2025, the RWQCB approved the work plan for the extended SVE Pilot Test. This work will be performed and will provide parameters for use in designing a site - wide SVE remedy. The remainder of the available funding in the ECRG will be used for this effort, for continued groundwater and soil sampling and reporting, and final project close out. The ECRG grant expires on February 26, 2027.

On September 8, 2025, Consultant requested a Third Amendment to amend the Scope of Work and increase the existing Professional Services Agreement by $391,500, for a new total not -to -exceed of $2,671,407. WSP charges will not exceed the limits of the ECRG grant. This will fund the extended SVE pilot test, continued groundwater and soil vapor sampling and reporting and all other efforts leading to the remediation of the Site and project completion.

Additionally, the Consultant requested an extension of the term of the Professional Services Agreement, which is currently set to end December 2025. Staff proposes extending the Term to February 28, 2026, so that the Third Amendment aligns with the agreements of other consultants involved in this Project.

CONCLUSION:

Consultant has provided valuable consulting services to the City and has a deep understanding of the environmental activities that have taken place at the Site. Based on their work to date and the additional steps needed to continue helping the City coordinate remediation of the Site, staff recommends that the City Council approve a Third Amendment to increase the not -to -exceed by $391,500 and recommends a termination date of February 28, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Adoption of the attached Resolution and Third Amendment would have no fiscal impact to the City as consultants and other parties would be supported in full by the ECRG Grant funds which would not otherwise be available to the City.

Proposal
Environmental Remediation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site

1.0 Technical Proposal
On behalf of the City of BeII Gardens (City), the Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc. (Wood) team of highly qualified staff has worked together with the State of California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the National Development Council (NDC) to provide environmental technical support services at the former Berk Oil and Pacific Metal Craft (PMC) site (site or subject property) since 2011.

No other consulting firm has more hands-on, direct experience in understanding and evaluating site conditions, identifying and addressing environmental data gaps, and evaluating work necessary to prepare the site for redevelopment. The key technical staff identified in this submittal include the primary authors of the Revised Supplemental Site Assessment and Human Health Risk Assessment Report (SSA Report) dated July 13, 2022, which forms the basis of proposed site remediation to allow for mixed use (commercial/industrial and residential) redevelopment of this idle and unproductive property in the City.

Wood has a solid understanding of the site work to be conducted under the City's Equitable Community Revitalization Grant (ECRG) being administered by DTSC. We have provided services to State agencies under similar contracts, which have included adherence with grant reporting requirements and compliance with small businesses and disadvantaged business enterprises. Our work on previous grant - funded projects has also included soliciting subcontractor services under California prevailing wage determinations. Our submittal, prepared in response to the City's Request for Proposal (REP), is organized as follows:

Section 1 describes our project approach, management of ECRG tasks, and roadmap to project success.

Section 2 identifies key Wood staff resources and describes their anticipated project roles and relevant experience.

Section 3 describes four projects Wood has completed involving working with State regulators under grant funding. These projects have involved preparation of remediation planning and contracting documents (including public outreach and selection of qualified subcontractors) and eventual site closure/redevelopment
Section 4 provides our proposed staffing rates and a cost estimate based on experience working with California regulators at similar sites.

Section 5 notes any exceptions or additions to the City's contract.

Wood is prepared to begin ECRG implementation upon the City's authorization.

1.1 Executive Summary
in 2022, Wood completed the SSA Report, which summarized historical and recent investigation results, included a human health risk assessment (HHRA), and proposed remedial actions intended to allow for unrestricted reuse of the former Berk Oil site. The proposed remedial actions included removal of shallow soils containing lead or benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) at concentrations exceeding residential cleanup goals. The SSA also noted that some form of vapor intrusion (VI) mitigation likely would be needed as part of site Proposal, o' 22PR0PG0VT..0282 J August 2022:

Proosal
Environmental Remediation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site redevelopment due to the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soil gas at concentrations exceeding potentially applicable screening levels. Such mitigation might include vapor barriers and/or sub -slab venting beneath new buildings and would involve long-term operation, maintenance, and monitoring (OM&M) to verify the effectiveness of the measures. Other alternative VI mitigation measures were presented including focused soil vapor extraction (SVE) or alternative construction methods (e.g., raised building foundations or below -grade parking). While these measures were discussed with DTSC staff, staff from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) now overseeing the site work under the ECRG may have other requirements for site redevelopment.

Wood is ready to assist the City with continued environmental investigation, remediation planning, and remedy implementation to support the City's plans for site redevelopment. Our proposed approach and scope of work are described in the following subsections.

1.2 Approach to Scope of Work
Scheduling will be a key component to the successful implementation of ECRG activities due to the short duration of the ECRG (which expires June 29, 2024). Because the RWQCB is new to the site, Wood's historical knowledge and firsthand experience with site conditions will be extremely important when addressing the RWQCB's questions and requests and in keeping their focus on site remediation and closure.

Another key component to the successful implementation of ECRG activities is availability of a highly qualified and experienced project team with available resources to implement ECRG-funded activities within the available schedule. As described in this proposal, our approach to successful project completion involves identifying and assigning technical staff with previous experience at the site and/or with successful experience with similar projects.

1.3 Scope of Work Tasks
This section describes the scope of work Wood expects to complete for the project Subsections 1.3.1 through 1.3.7 describe how we plan to accomplish Tasks 1 through 7 listed in the RFP. Based on data collected to date and presented in the SSA Report, we expect site remediation will include excavation and off -site disposal of shallow soil impacted by lead and/or BaP, which will provide conditions suitable for unrestricted site use in relation to soil. The SSA Report recommended installation of vapor barriers and sub -slab venting systems beneath new buildings with slab -on -grade construction to mitigate VI concerns associated with VOCs in soil gas. The RWQCB has provided preliminary input that it may require SVE or other more active form of VI mitigation prior to site redevelopment. Based on initial discussion with the RWQCB and depending on the results of Tasks 1 through 3 below, site remediation may also include design, construction, and Operations, Maintenance & Monitoring (OM&M) of an SVE system to reduce concentrations of VOCs in soil gas prior to redevelopment. Remedy performance monitoring and verification (SVE system monitoring and rebound testing, and/or monitoring of any long-term VI mitigation measures) will likely be required and may extend beyond the period of grant funding availability.

In addition to the specific tasks outlined in the RFP, our experience with similar projects indicates other tasks will become necessary during the project. Potential additional information requirements from the RWQCB are discussed at the end of this section.

1.3.1 Task 1 - Data Gap Identification
This task will involve review of available site information in context of the City's redevelopment goals and plans and identification of data gaps that will need to be addressed prior to or along with site redevelopment. Based on information summarized in the SSA Report and on input provided to date by the RWQCB, we have identified two general data gap categories.

The first category comprises data gaps with a direct bearing on short-term remedy selection and design.

These are data gaps that need to be addressed to support final selection, design, and implementation of remedial actions to enable redevelopment of the site. Data gaps identified in this category include the:
• Lateral and vertical extent of shallow soil containing lead or BaP at concentrations exceeding residential cleanup goals in a few specific areas of the site • Chemical and physical characteristics of material used to backfill prior excavations at the site and its potential impact on site redevelopment plans
• Impact of current soil vapor conditions on site development plans (VI concerns) These remedy selection and design data gaps will be evaluated and addressed during Tasks 2 and 3 described below.

The second category comprises data gaps that will need to be addressed to complete site characterization to support decisions regarding whether longer -term monitoring or management of site conditions will be necessary. Based on initial input from the RWQCB, we have identified current groundwater conditions as a data gap in this category. Based on that input, we anticipate additional data will be needed to characterize the:
• Current soil vapor conditions at depths greater than previously sampled • Presence and extent of shallow/perched groundwater beneath the site a Presence and concentrations of VOCs in shallow/perched groundwater and the next deeper (regionally extensive) groundwater zone
o Potential presence and concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in groundwater because of historical site activities and/or of known release of petroleum products at the nearby Vinvale Terminal
These site characterization data gaps will involve field investigation and laboratory analysis pursuant to an RWQCB-approved work plan to obtain additional data to characterize soil, soil gas, and groundwater conditions at the site. The scope of work for this task will be defined in part based on the discussions with the RWQCB in Task 2 described below. Some of the data collected as part of this task may be used during remedy selection and design.

1.3.2 Task 2 - Interaction with DTSC/RWQCB Regarding Project Site This task will include participation in a site visit with DTSC and RWQCB staff and initial interaction with RWQCB personnel as they become more familiar with project history, available data, and overall site conditions. This task will also include initial discussion with RWQCB staff of data gaps and proposed additional work discussed during Task 1.

13.3 Task 3 - Preparation of a RAP
Wood has prepared numerous Remedial Action Plan (RAPs) and other remedy selection documents under RWQCB, DTSC, EPA Brownfields, and other regulatory programs. For this project, Wood will consider applicable RWQCB requirements and relevant guidance documents to tailor and prepare a RAP for project -specific conditions. Although for some projects a feasibility study (FS) may be prepared as a separate document to support remedy evaluation and selection prior to a RAP, we expect that the RWQCB will agree these steps can be combined into a single document (RAP) to expedite work within the period of grant funding availability.

For this project, our familiarity with site conditions and information in the SSA Report indicate that excavation and off -site disposal of soil likely will be a preferred remedy for shallow soil impacted by lead or BaP, and SVE or a similar method likely will be the preferred remedy for VOCs in soil gas. Excavation and SVE are both considered "presumptive remedies" by the EPA and other regulatory agencies. As such, they can be selected for use in a project without the level of detailed analysis and justification that may be required for other technologies. We have used this "presumptive remedy" approach on other projects with the RWQCB and expect to follow a similar approach to streamline the RAP for the site.

We anticipate the RAP will be submitted for public review after the RWQCB's initial review (see Task 4 below). The RAP will be considered "final" once the public review processes is complete, after which implementation of the proposed remedy can begin.

1.3.4 Task 4 - Public Outreach Assistance
Public outreach through DTSC and RWQCB is an integral part of the State's efforts to investigate and clean up hazardous waste sites throughout California. Clear concise documents are essential to establishing a two-way communication process between state agencies and the public. Wood has a great deal of experience in assisting in the preparation of public outreach documents, including those required under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Upon RWQCB approval, the draft RAP will be submitted for public review. Based on our previous experience providing public outreach assistance to DTSC or the RWQCB, Wood anticipates that the public participation documents for the project will include:
• Community Survey
• Fact Sheets
Wood will retain Printing Resources, a third -party vendor, to develop a mailing list of local community members in the site area, and elected officials and other mandatory organizations. A community survey and fact sheet will be provided to individuals and businesses within a 1/4 -miles radius of the site in both English and Spanish. Following the typical 30 -day public review period, Wood will assist the RWQCB with preparation of a Response to Comments letter. The Response to Comments letter will be returned to all individuals/organization that provided comments on the draft RAP.

Depending on the number of public comments received and the level of public support for site redevelopment, the RWQCB may choose to hold a public meeting or community workshop to solicit additional feedback from the community. Although Wood does not anticipate this level of effort will be needed, our team also has experience in meeting with and presenting to community members and elected officials in both informal and more formal settings and has participated in outreach efforts in low - wood

Prpposal
Environmental Remediation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site income communities with environmental justice concerns.

Following completion of public outreach efforts, the RAW will be revised to incorporate RWQCB changes and subsequently considered a "final" document, allowing Wood to begin Task 5 activities noted below.

1.3.5 Task 5 - Prepare Design Documents and Plans, and Procure Subcontractors Wood has strong in-house capabilities for design of excavations and soil, soil gas, and groundwater remediation systems. Our experienced design staff represent civil, geotechnical, chemical, and environmental engineers who incorporate input from other disciplines (such as mechanical, structural, and electrical engineering, hydrology, and geology) where needed.

Following RWQCB approval of the "final" RAP, Wood will begin preparing design documents and plans to support soil excavation activities and construction and operation of VI barriers and/or SVE (depending on the final selected remedy for VOCs in soil gas). Implementation of the selected remedy will consist of several phases, including design, construction, start-up, OM&M, post-remediation monitoring, decommissioning, and restoration. Preliminary (30%), intermediate (60%), and pre -final (90%) plans will be prepared for review. The Final Design is a culmination of the 30%, 60%, and 90% plans, and contains final design, details, drawings, specifications, and appendices for remedy implementation. Appendices will include:
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan
• Air/Dust Monitoring and Mitigation Plan
• Decontamination Plan
• OM&M Plan
• Soil Management Plan
Engineering and design documents will be checked, reviewed, and signed by the licensed civil engineer in responsible charge. Mechanical, structural, and electrical engineers will all stamp their respective drawings, where present.

Concurrent with preparing design documents and plans, Wood's construction management services can also assist the City with preparation of bid specifications, bid evaluation, and contractor selection and procurement. Selection of remediation subcontractors is open to competitive bid pursuant to ECRG requirements. Wood will prepare standard specifications that will encourage open and reasonable competition by establishing measurable project performance and quality levels (e.g., detailed list of characteristics, such as: sizes, physical dimensions, weights, types and grades of materials, standard of workmanship, basic design). The selected remediation contractor(s) will assist Wood with obtaining permits (Task 6) and preparing additional supporting documents, such as traffic control, air monitoring, and health and safety plans. Further, the contractor will demonstrate compliance with State regulations for working with lead impacted soil (hazardous waste management) before remediation activities begin.

1.3.6 Task 6 - Obtain Permits and Approvals
Most engineering plans and specifications must obtain appropriate permits and agency approvals before subsurface disturbance or construction of remediation systems can begin. A grading and trenching permit will likely be necessary from the City and the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) before remedial excavation of contaminated soil and placement of engineered fill begins.

Permits anticipated for installation and operation of an SVE system, include:

wood.

Page 117 of 591 ends

Proposal
Environmental Remediation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site • Building permits, which will cover grading, trenching, electrical installation, and building construction • Encroachment permits for any road crossings
• Drilling permits for SVE wells
• Electrical engineering plans to apply for new electrical service • A South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) permit to construct/operate for discharge of treated soil gas from the granular activated carbon vessels to the atmosphere Agency approvals associated with design and construction planning may include coordinating the remediation system layout, work areas, and work schedules to accommodate community limitations.

Design and construction plans will also need to consider proposed property redevelopment plans from the City and/or builder. A process hazard analysis will be performed to evaluate potential process hazards and propose recommendations for managing risks associated with those hazards. Wood can assist the City with managing any system installation, beginning with preparation of initial permit applications (SCAQMD and appropriate local agencies such as County Building, Planning, Health, and Fire Departments) through contractor selection, construction observation and project coordination, inspection, and start-up. Once a system is constructed and operational, Wood can assist with OM&M, performance monitoring, optimization, and verification and reporting of results. When the system has achieved its intended results, we can provide decommissioning and site restoration as needed and will prepare completion documents and final report(s) as described for Task 7.

1.3.7 Task 7 - Prepare Final Report
A construction completion report will be prepared once all physical construction, operations, and verification sampling required for site cleanup have been completed. Final site closure documents may include results of post-remediation confirmation samples and a post-remediation HHRA to demonstrate the residual chemical concentrations do not pose a risk to human health or the environment under expected future site conditions. The final report(s) will be prepared toward the end of the ECRG timeframe.

The final goal of any remediation project is to seek and obtain "closure" from the agency providing regulatory oversight. Wood anticipates the RWQCB may issue a No Further Action (NFA) determination for BaP and lead in soil. However, an NFA determination for residual VOCs in soil gas may be not feasible within the ECRG timeframe. Thus, a post construction OM&M plan may be necessary for continuing VI mitigation.

Additional reporting likely will be necessary pursuant to permit requirements. The City, as permit holder, will be responsible for confirming that conditions and monitoring requirements of all permits were followed. Wood anticipates that the selected remediation contractor(s) will prepare final reports documenting monitoring and compliance with permit conditions on behalf of the City.

Key Uncertainties
in addition to identification of specific technical data gaps in Task 1, we expect to identify more general questions and uncertainties that the City and RWQCB will need to resolve to allow the project to proceed on schedule. Potential uncertainties we have identified during initial communications with the RWQCB and development of this proposal include:
wood.

Page 118 of 591 ends

Proposal
Environmental Remediation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site

1. Will the RWQCB require NFA status for soil and soil gas prior to site redevelopment, or will redevelo;,= meat be allowed to proceed if an NFA status is not in place, but human health is protected through institutional and engineering controls? Although achieving NFA status prior to redevelopment would be ideal, it may not be feasible within the schedule for the ECRG. Removal of VOCs from fine-grained soils (such as those present at the site) using SVE typically requires many months, and often years, of SVE operation. In addition, several months of post-SVE monitoring and rebound testing are typically required before the RWQCB will consider granting NFA status. Other technologies (such as deep excavation or in situ thermal treatment) might remove VOCs from soil more quickly once begun but will require more time for planning and permitting and/or will be prohibitively expensive. As indicated in the SSA Report, some form of VI mitigation likely will be needed as part of site redevelopment. VI mitigation can be accomplished, however, without a site being granted NFA status. Such mitigation might include vapor barriers and/or sub -slab venting beneath new buildings and involves long-term OM&M to verify the effectiveness of the measures.

Alternative building construction using ground floor parking garages (podium parking) or below - grade parking garages could be used to address VI concerns by increasing ventilation. The City and the RWQCB will need to agree on an approach that achieves as much remediation as feasible within the term of the ECRG, but also recognize the potential need for ongoing measures to maintain protective conditions after that time.

2. What cleanup goals for VOCs in soil gas will be agreed on by the RWQCB and the City? As noted in the SSA Report, DTSC and EPA currently apply different assumptions in calculation of risks associated with VI of VOCs from soil gas to indoor air. Consequently, cleanup goals for soil gas may be more stringent under EPA guidelines than under DTSC guidelines. The RWQCB has indicated that it will apply EPA guidelines as a default As an alternative, however, it may be possible to develop site - specific cleanup goals for soil gas that account for the design and use of future on -site buildings and provide a level of protection satisfactory to the RWQCB, DTSC, and the City. The process and timing for establishment of cleanup goals and mitigation measures for soil gas will need to be agreed on prior to selection of a remedy for soil gas at the site.

3. What specific land uses and building designs are the City considering for site redevelopment? This is an important question because some types of building construction and use (e.g., podium and below -grade parking beneath new buildings, or use of ground floor space only for commercial purposes) may affect the extent of remediation required and the need for additional longer -term mitigation measures to address potential future VI risks to site occupants.

4. How much additional work will the RWQCB require? The SSA Report and previous phases of work at the site have been done under the oversight of DTSC. The RWQCB, however, is the lead agency for work to be conducted under the ECRG. Although these two agencies work to protect human health and the environment, their requirements and approaches differ, and the RWQCB may request work that has not been required by DTSC. The type(s) and amount of additional work requested by the RWQCB, and the timing of that work in relation to other work needed to support site redevelopment, is not currently known, but will need to be identified and agreed on by the City and the RWQCB.

We will begin the review and communications to address these general questions as part of Tasks 1 and 2 but expect this work will continue beyond the specified scope, effort, and schedule for those tasks. wood

Environmental Remediation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site

3.0 Prior Related Firm Experience
Wood has the in-house resources to perform or provide all of the technical services associated with the site redevelopment project tasks described in the RFP. Wood has been working at the Berk Oil site since 2011 and assisting the City with project redevelopment planning since that time. Below, we provide a summary of our experience work at the site, along with descriptions of similar projects recently completed in southern California representative of the scope of work outlined in the RFP.

Berk OH and PMC Properties, City of Bell Gardens, California Wood has completed three significant site characterization and redevelopment planning projects at the site since 2012. These included:
• 2012 Targeted Site investigation implemented on behalf of the City through a DTSC grant • 2019 Site Characterization implemented on behalf of the City through a DISC grant. • 2022 SSA Report and HHRA implemented on behalf of the City through an EPA grant (this investigation was funded through two EPA Brownfields grants being administered by NDC, a non- profit 501 O3)
Berk Oil conducted asphalt mixing and oil distribution operations in the western portion of the site from approximately 1965 through 1989. PMC occupied the eastern portion of the site and conducted metal and plastic parts fabrication between 1984 and the early 1990s. Previous site activities included use of underground storage tanks (USTs) and aboveground storage tanks, metal furnaces, and degreasers. in 1988, during excavation of impacted soil, a large quantity of asphalt -tar sludge, oil - soaked concrete and debris, and several buried full oil drums were uncovered inside the former steam cleaning sump.

Chemical analysis of soil revealed relatively high concentrations of VOCs (primarily trichloroethene) and TPH. A total of 1,423 tons of impacted soil were excavated and transported offsite.

Reportedly, not all impacted soil was excavated, and the former steam cleaning sump excavation was partially backfilled with some of the impacted soil. Since the early 1990s, the site has remained vacant and unused because of remaining
contamination and unknown
environmental conditions.

During the 2012 and 2019 projects, Diana Sasser, NDC (209) 483-9863 Wood (and our predecessor company
AMEC) was retained by DTSC to
implement additional site
characterization through a community -wide Brownfields assessment grant that DTSC received from EPA.

Wood prepared work plans to characterize soil, soil gas, and groundwater conditions at the site using innovative tools and techniques to expedite the site investigation. The site characterization and investigations were implemented to assess how environmental conditions associated with current or former land uses may affect redevelopment plans for future reuse of the site, specifically for proposed Relevant Scope:Items:'

Proposal
Environmental Remediation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site commercial results planning. The 2019 Site Characterization Report provided recommendations for commercial/industrial reuse on a parcel -by -parcel basis.

In 2022, Wood completed the SSA Report to evaluate mixed -use development of the site, including residential development. Soil, soil gas, and groundwater conditions were evaluated using the same innovative tools and techniques. Results of the passive and active soil gas sampling, cone penetration testing, membrane interface hydraulic profile tool direct -read monitoring, and grab groundwater samples did not show significant VOC or TPH impacts to soil or groundwater at the site. However, to support site redevelopment decisions, an HHRA was performed to evaluate both commercial/industrial and residential (mixed) land use and calculate potential health risks posed by chemical of potential concern (COPCs).

Results of the HHRA demonstrated that exposure of future site occupants under both residential and commercial/industrial reuse scenarios to current soil and soil gas conditions would result in an elevated noncancer hazard and cancer risk. Thus, a Response Action would be required to allow for mixed -use site redevelopment. Based on HHRA calculations, the soil cleanup goals for these COPCs included the following:

BaP toxicity equivalent quotient in soil: 0.90 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) for residential and industrial/commercial use
• Lead in soil: 80 mg/kg for residential use and 320 mg/kg for industrial/commercial use The SSA Report identified the estimated areas of lead and/or BaP soil excavation that, when removed, would allow for unrestricted use of site soil.

Results of the HHRA indicated risk management would be necessary for potential vapor intrusion beneath new slab -on -grade building construction. Because soil gas concentrations are relatively low and dispersed throughout the site, Wood recommended a physical barrier to prevent vapor intrusion from impacted media into new construction. Results and recommendation from the SSA Report were used by the City to obtain the ECRG..AII project work was completed within the grant funding's deliverable schedule and authorized budget.

Pathway High School Independent Studies, Lynwood, California Wood was retained by the Lynwood Unified
i School District (LUSD) to provide environmental
Reference: Manuel lara/villa, DelTerra, technical support services to assist LUSD and their (323) 447-0996 consultant DelTerra with the Pathway High School Independent Studies project, which included site
evaluation and planning to install modular
classroom buildings on an underutilized portion of Hosier Middle School. Wood evaluated potential soil contamination that may have resulted from the use/application of lead -based paint (LBP) and organochlorine pesticides (0CPs) on and around former site buildings, and its impact on potential site redevelopment plans. The site was undeveloped or agricultural land through the 1940s when it was developed with buildings that initially were used for storage of military supplies. It was subsequently used by LUSD for storage of school supplies. These buildings also included a maintenance shop for minor auto repair and storage of related tools, equipment, and supplies. A 2,000 -gallon gasoline UST and fuel dispenser, which had been operated as part of the vehicle maintenance activities, were removed from the site in 1989, The site buildings were demolished in early 2015 after asbestos containing materials and LBP abatement work had been completed.

Proposal
Environmental Remediation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site Wood collected soil samples in and around the former site building footprints as part of the lead and OCP investigation. The soil sample results were compared to appropriate DISC or EPA soil screening levels for residential use. Lead and dieldrin were the only COPCs detected in soil at concentrations exceeding screening levels.

Wood assisted LUSD in negotiating a School Cleanup Agreement with DTSC to enable DTSC to oversee further environmental investigation and removal action (RA) at the site. Wood subsequently prepared a Revised RAW on behalf of LUSD to address lead- and dieldrin-impacted soil at the site. The RAW identified and screened RA alternatives that could best achieve the project Removal Action Objectives (RAOs) allowing for the proposed site redevelopment and unrestricted reuse. Based on the evaluation and associated estimates of cost, excavation of lead- and dieldrin-impacted soils followed by transportation of the impacted soil to an appropriate, permitted off -site facility for treatment/disposal was identified as the preferred and
recommended RA alternative. The RAW also included
supplemental plans for the safe and successful implementation of the proposed RA, including:
• QA/QC Plan
• Dust Monitoring and Mitigation Plan
• Decontamination Plan

DTSC, acting as the Responsible Agency, approved the RAW for public review pursuant to CEQA. Wood assisted DTSC with preparation of a Community Profile, Community Survey, and Public Notice documents.

Following the public comment period, DTSC approved the RAW for implementation.

Wood prepared Technical Specifications to assist LUSD in retaining a qualified contractor to implement the approved RA. Subsequently, Wood provided as -needed construction oversight assistance and collected confirmation soil samples. Lead- and dieldrin-impacted soils were safely excavated and removed from the site and no significant field variances/deviations occurred during the RA activities. Confirmation soil sample results demonstrated the impacted soils were removed from the site and residual concentrations of COPCs, where detected, were below site -specific screening levels. The excavation areas were subsequently backfilled with imported fill material obtained from a DTSC-approved source.

Completion of the RA and subsequent laboratory analyses demonstrated the project RAOs were achieved.

Subsequently, Wood prepared a Remedial Action Completion Report (RACR), which requested that DTSC concur with the recommendation that an NFA determination for the site was warranted. DTSC approved the RACR and concurred with Wood's request for NFA status for the site. The classroom buildings were installed in 2019. Wood completed the RAW and RACR on schedule, and through close collaboration with LUSD and DISC representatives, saved an estimated $50,000 off our original projected project costs. wood

Proposal
Environmental Remediation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site Former Engineering Plating Facility, Santa Ana, California Relevant Scope Items:
• Site investigation
• Cleanup Planning
RAW
• Public Outreach
• Vapor Intrusion' Mitigation
Using SVE
Wood was retained by DISC to complete a site investigation and prepare a RAP for the former Engineering Plating Corporation (EPC} project site located at 1224 East Pomona Street where relatively high concentrations of VOCs were detected in groundwater, soil, soil gas, and indoor air samples. The project is being conducted pursuant to an imminent and Substantial Endangerment Determination Order issued by DTSC to the
current property owner. Shortly after EPC operations ceased in the 1990s, the site property was subdivided into two separate addresses, 1224 and 1226 E. Pomona Street. The current site occupant at 1224 E. Pomona Street is a church group, and the current site occupant at 1226 E. Pomona Street is an automotive repair business.

Wood successfully implemented a triad -type approach to expedite site characterization and initiate a rapid response mitigation effort because high concentrations of VOCs were detected in soil gas and indoor air samples. Vapors were extracted from two vertical extraction wells screened between depths of approximately 15 and 30 feet and two horizontal extraction wells with approximately 60 to 70 lineal feet of screen and located approximately six feet underneath the site building. Subsequent soil gas and indoor air sampling results indicate that SVE has been effective for reducing VOC concentrations in soil gas beneath the site.

While onsite SVE planning and operations commenced, Wood continued onsite site and offsite groundwater sampling activities. Soil and groundwater samples were used for bench -scale treatability studies to evaluate effectiveness of in
situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) under
the site conditions. ISCO using sodium
permanganate was considered more
applicable for focused treatment of the Scarleitt Zho , DTSC, (714) 484-5376 VOCs in groundwater. The data
collected from SVE operation and ISCO
pilot studies were used to support remedy selection and design long-term remedial efforts. Wood prepared a RAP describing potential remedial alternatives to mitigate VOCs in soil, soil gas, and groundwater. The selected remedies included:
• SVE for treatment of VOCs in soil and soil gas
• ISCO with sodium permanganate for treatment of VOC-impacted groundwater • Containment (capping and subsurface depressurization
• Monitored natural attenuation for treatment of remaining VOC-impacted groundwater • Institution& Controls during and/or after remedial implementation Wood assisted DTSC with public outreach efforts, which included preparing an initial study document, Fact Sheet, and public participation plan to support public review of the RAP pursuant to CEQA. Wood also assisted DISC during preparation of the presentation materials and supported DTSC staff during their public meeting. The draft RAP was finalized upon receipt of final public comments.

All project work was completed within the funding's deliverable schedule and authorized budget.

Proposal
Environmental Remediation Consultation for Former Berk Oil Site Bethune Library, Los Angeles, California
Wood conducted a site investigation and prepared a RAW to support redevelopment planning for the former Bethune Library site at 3665 South Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, California. The approximate

0.77 -acre vacant site located adjacent to the University of Southern California campus is in a highly desirable location for development.

The site investigation was
implemented through a DTSC grant
implemented on behalf of the City of
Los Angeles, Department of Public
Works Bureau of Sanitation (LASAN)
Brownfields Program to assess
whether current or former land uses may affect redevelopment plans. Based on previous site operations, the COPCs that may have been used at the site and that present an environmental and/or human impact concern included VOCs, TPH, metals, acid, and semi-VOCs.

Wood collected soil and soil gas samples from the site following the site -specific Sampling and Analysis Plan. Results
demonstrated that removal of lead -impacted soil was necessary to allow for unrestricted reuse of the site property. Subsequently, Wood prepared a RAW to evaluate removal action alternatives and costs through the DTSC grant for hazardous substance sites.

The RAW was prepared pursuant to California Health and Safety Code, Section 25356.1(h) to support cleanup and removal of released hazardous substances from the site. An estimated 4,945 cubic yards of lead -impacted soil was identified for removal from the site to allow for unrestricted reuse. The RAW described responsibilities of the selected contractor to designate a Certified Lead Supervisor pursuant to California Department of Public Health requirements. Other RAW components prepared by Wood included:
• QA/QC Plan
• Decontamination Plan
• Dust Control and Monitoring Plan
LASAN is using the agency -approved RAW to support redevelopment planning.

SAP/workplan preparation, RI/FS investigations and studies, RAP and RAW preparation, California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) support and public outreach participation, United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) grant funded Targeted Site Investigation (TSi) projects, design/implementation of remedial actions, remediation systems operations and maintenance, and providing technical expertise for on -call tasks. Oversaw and managed 62 task orders totaling nearly $20 million in project work.

Berk Oil and Pacific Metal Craft Properties, Bell Gardens, CAProject Manager. Managed and oversaw three separate site investigation programs:
s 2012 TSI funded through DTSC grant program
• 2019 Site Characterization funded through DISC Brownfield Assessment grant • 2022 Supplemental Site Assessment (SSA) funded through U.S. EPA Brownfields grant awarded to National Development Council
Responsible for performing an RI during the 2012 and 2019 programs at this vacant and unproductive brownfields property. Prepared a Phase i ESA in 2012 summarizing previous site activities and identifying several Recognized Environmental Conditions at the site. Prepared subsequent work plans to characterize soil, soil -gas, and groundwater conditions at the site using innovative tools and techniques to expedite the site investigation. Oversaw use of high -resolution subsurface screening tools (cone penetration testing (CPT), Hydraulic Profiling Tool [HPTJ, Membrane Interface Probe [MiP)), along with confirmation soil, soil gas, and groundwater sampling (using grab methods) to assess how environmental conditions associated with current or former land uses affected commercial/industrial redevelopment plans. Lead and benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) were detected in soil at concentrations exceeding screening levels. Prepared the 2019 Site Characterization Report that provided recommendations for commercial/industrial reuse of the site on a parcel by parcel basis.

Managed the 2022 SSA with the goal of evaluating mix reuse of the site (commercial/industrial and residential development). Prepared plans to install passive soil gas probes to provide information on overall site volatile organic compounds (VOC), total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon conditions. Used results of the passive soil gas samples to direct confirmation sampling locations. Used active soil gas, CPT, membrane interface hydraulic profile tool direct -read monitoring, and grab groundwater samples it evaluate site conditions and support site redevelopment decisions. Assisted with preparation of a Human Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) to evaluate both commercial/industrial and residential (mixed) land use and calculate potential health risks posed by chemicals of potential concern at the site. Results of the HHRA demonstrated that exposure of future site occupants under both residential and commercial/industrial reuse scenarios to current soil and soil gas conditions would result in an elevated noncancer hazard and cancer risk. Therefore, a response action would be required to allow for mixed use site redevelopment Prepared the SSA Report, which identified the estimated areas of lead and/or BaP soil excavation that, when removed, would allow for unrestricted use of site soil. Recommended installation of vapor barriers beneath any new slab -on -grade building construction to address potential vapor intrusion concerns because soil gas concentrations were relatively low and dispersed throughout the site. All project work was completed within the grant funding's deliverable schedule and authorized budget. Results and recommendation from the SSA were used by the City to obtain an Equitable Community Revitalization Grant.

Engineering Mating, Santa Ana, CA
Project Manager. Responsible for performing a RI and groundwater pilot studies and supporting implementation of an SVE and situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) pilot tests at a former plating facility. The project was funded through the State "Orphan Site" program because indoor air VOC concentrations presented a potential "Imminent and Substantial Endangerment" to site occupants and the current site owner did not have the resources to complete site investigation and implement remedial actions. To alleviate VOCs concentrations in indoor air, planned for and oversaw installation of two horizontal vapor extraction wells beneath the existing building foundation to provide subsurface depressurization (SSD) by connection to the SVE system, which used granular activated carbon (GAC) to treat extracted vapors.

Operation of the SSD resulted in lowering indoor air VOC concentrations by one to two orders of magnitude.

Used a combination of high -resolution subsurface screening tools (CPT, HPT, MIP), along with confirmation soil and groundwater sampling (using grab methods or installing and sampling groundwater monitoring wells) to identify and delineate a paleochannel underlying a portion of the site. VOC-impacted groundwater was moving along the higher -porosity paleochannel sands and gravels tangential to the regional groundwater flow direction in finer -grained sediments. Prepared a conceptual site model that accounted for the variable VOC mass movement along the paleochannel and in multiple undifferentiated water -bearing zones following the regional flow direction.

Prepared plans for bench -scale treatability studies to evaluate ISCO to remediate VOC-impacted groundwater. Using results of the bench -scale treatability studies, demonstrated that ISCO using sodium permanganate was appropriate for treatment of high VOC concentrations in groundwater. Subsequently prepared an FS/RAP using results of the RI and pilot studies to design and support long-term soil and groundwater remedial efforts. Recommended SVE for VOC-impacted soil and ISCO for VOC-impacted groundwater. Assisted DTSC with preparation of a Public Participation Plan, Fact Sheet, community notices, and other documents to support CEQA public outreach requirements. Subsequently supported DTSCs public outreach efforts, participated in a community workshop and a public meeting, and reviewed proposed responses to public comments. DTSC approved the FS/RAP following completion of CEQA public review activities.

Prepared plans for an ISCO pilot study, which included an application for a Waste Discharge Requirement (WDR) permit under the SA-RWQCB's Discharge Authorization and Monitoring & Reporting Program to inject up to 7 percent sodium permanganate by weight. The pilot test was implemented in two phases, the first to evaluate VOC-impacted groundwater within the paleochannel deposits and the second to evaluate VOC-impacted groundwater within the undifferentiated water -bearing sediments outside the paleochannel. Oversaw ISCO activities and provided additional safety precautions because of a nearby homeless encampment. Subsequently prepared a final ISCO pilot test summary report. The project work was completed according to plan and within authorized budget and schedules.

Pathway High School, Lynwood. CA
Project Manager. Responsible for performing a Supplemental Site Investigation (SSI) and implementing soil removal actions allowing for redevelopment with modular buildings for housing student and faculty personnel on an unused portion of the Lynwood Unified School District (LUSD) property. The LUSD entered into a School Cleanup Agreement with DTSC to provide oversight of the SSI and removal actions allowing for unrestricted land reuse and to comply with public outreach requirements pursuant to CEQA.

Historical operation of a warehouse at the site resulted in organochlorine pesticide impact to soil from termiticide application (e.g., dieldrin) and lead impact to soil from lead -based paint.

Prepared an SSI Work Plan to define the extent of lead- and dieldrin-impacted soil and address other potential site contaminants originating from historical operation of an underground storage tank/gasoline dispenser and reported use of small parts cleaning wash basins inside the former building. Used results of the field sampling program to prepare the SSI Report, which documented lead and dieldrin were the only 22PROPGOVT.0292

site contaminants of concern (COCs), defined the vertical and lateral extent of soils impact, and determined COC cleanup goals. Upon DTSC's approval of the SSI Report, assisted them with preparation of the draft Removal Action Workplan (RAW) that recommended excavation of lead and dieldrin impacted soil followed by off -site transportation to an approved facility for treatment/disposal.

After DISC approved the draft RAW and submitted it for public review, assisted them with implementing CEQA activities, which included preparation of a Community Profile, Community Survey, and Community Updates. After completion of public outreach efforts, finalized the RAW pursuant to DTSC request and assisted the LUSD with contractor selection (prepared Technical Specifications and Procurement and Agreement Requirements to support competitive bid contract requirements). In 2018, provided oversight during removal of 231.47 tons of impacted soil and collected confirmation soil samples demonstrating achieved the project remedial action objectives. Subsequently, prepared the Removal Action Completion Report (RACR) supporting No Further Action determination for the site. DTSC agreed with our recommendation and approved the RACR in February 2018 as is and with no comments.

The classroom buildings were installed in 2019 and the Panthers Pathway program will be open to new students soon. Wood completed the SSI, RAW, and RACR on schedule. Our original total estimated cost for site investigation, planning, and closure was approximately $175,000. However, through planning collaborative efforts between the client and DTSC representatives, our final invoice cost was $122,167 saving over $50,000 from our original overall projected project costs.

Former Bethune Library, Los Angeles, CA
Project Manager. Responsible for performing a site investigation and preparing a RAW to support redevelopment planning for the former Bethune Library site. The approximate 0.77 -acre vacant site located adjacent to the University of Southern California campus is in a highly desirable location for development. Prepared plans to evaluate potential VOCs, TPH, metals, acid, and semi-VOC impacts.

Results from the soil and soil gas samples demonstrated that removal of lead -impacted soil was necessary to allow for unrestricted reuse of the site property.

Assisted in preparation of a RAW to evaluate removal action alternatives and costs. Estimated 4,945 cubic yards of lead -impacted soil would need to be removed from the site to allow for unrestricted reuse. The RAW described responsibilities of the selected contractor to designate a Certified Lead Supervisor pursuant to California Department of Public Health requirements. Reviewed and finalized other components of the RAW including:
• Quality Assurance and Quality Control Plan
• Decontamination Plan
• Dust Control and Monitoring Plan
All project work was completed within the grant funding's deliverable schedule and authorized budget.

The property owner is using the agency -approved RAW to support redevelopment planning. 22PROPGOVT.02e2

Pipeline Release Remedlation, Kinder Morgan, Corpus Christi, TX Senior Process Engineer. Provided process engineering design support for the remediation of a large pipeline spill. An estimated one million gallons of technical grade benzene were released, which overlay hexavalent chromium impacted groundwater. The site is being remediated through the use of SVE and multiphase extraction. The vapor treatment system includes a thermal oxidizer and a prototype benzene recovery system. The benzene recovery system removes benzene from the vapor stream by freezing it on two parallel heat exchangers. The recovered liquid benzene is sold to a local refinery. Work at the site has included upgrading the existing SVE system through the addition of to increase the hydrocarbon recovery rate and the installation of an air -to -glycol heat recovery system on the thermal oxidizer off -gas to improve air stripper efficiency.

Remediation at Former Refinery, Pennzoil, Emlenton, PA
Project Engineer. Designed a system for the recovery and treatment of hydrocarbon impacted groundwater at a former refinery. The recovered groundwater contained 20 mg/liter of dissolved iron. This was reduced to four mg/liter through the use of a sparge tank and a porous settling media. The reduction in iron concentration was required to reduce operation and maintenance costs and prevent fouling ofthe effluent line. The sparge tank was used to precipitate the iron through oxidation and pH increase. This eliminated the need for chemical pH adjustment thereby reducing the system complexity and the need to handle hazardous chemicals.

Terminal Closure, Shell Oil Products, Manila, Philippines Senior Engineer. Assisted with the site conceptual model development and cost estimating for a former bulk storage terminal in operation for approximately 100 years and was responsible for the selection of the proposed remedial technology.

Perchlorate Treatment System, Olin Corporation, Morgan Bill, CA Senior Engineer. Provided system design, procurement, and installation oversight for a hydraulic control system for a large perchlorate plume. Water was treated by filtration and ion exchange prior to discharge to storm sewer. Assisted with the equipment procurement specifications and vendor selection. After equipment vendor selection, worked directly with the vendor to verify that the process controls were properly interlocked with the groundwater recovery system. The equipment was transported to the site as skid mounted equipment to minimize the system installation and commissioning cost. The system was demonstrated to reliably recover and treat groundwater and continues in operation to this day, 22PROPGOVT.0282

Experience
RCRA Facility Investigation (RFI) and Corrective
Measures Implementation, Inglewood, CA
Engineering Manager. Performed, managed, and directed a variety of project phases to investigation and remediate the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), primarily tetrachloroethene (PCE), trichloroethene (TCE), and 1,1- dichloroethene (1,1-DCE), in soil, soil vapor, and groundwater.

Responsible for performing an interim remedial measure to remove 26 underground storage tanks (USTs) and close in -place two USTs in a staged manner to minimize impact to site
operations. Conducted a design/build for implementation an interim measure using soil vapor extraction (SVE) to reduce VOC mass in soil and soil vapor. The SVE system consists of a network of 56 wells co -located in nest well pairings to screen four different soil zones, a duo manifold system to allow vapor extraction from soil zones with varying vacuum responses, and a C3 vapor abatement system to condense VOCs into liquid for management of by-products. The SVE system also acts as a sub - slab depressurization system to reduce potential risks to site workers via indoor air intrusion of VOCs. Technical reviewer of pilot study to evaluate feasibility of implementing in situ bioremediation in shallow zone groundwater. Pilot study features a "push-pull" system to inject quick -release and slow - release carbon substrates and a bacteria consortium to
augment naturally -occurring groundwater conditions to
promote degradation of the chlorinated solvents. Technical director for the corrective measures study (CMS) to select remedial alternatives for site soil, soil vapor, and groundwater, The CMS focuses on a strategy of in situ treatment of shallow groundwater and soil vapor extraction for soil and soil vapor

Superfund Site Investigation and Itentediatiion, South Gate, CA Principal -in -Charge. Responsible for the overall technical review of the project, implementation of the remedial design, and negotiations to stay a portion of the Record of Decision (ROD) for remediation of a former drum reconditioning facility. A USEPA Region IX contractor developed the remedial design for mitigating the presence of VOCs in soil, soil vapor, and groundwater and 1,4-dioxane in groundwater. To mitigate shallow impacts, a high -vacuum extraction system was designed and constructed to extract soil vapor and shallow groundwater. Soil vapor was treated using a C3 cryogenic -compression -condensation system provided by GEO, Inc. prior to receiving polishing treatment and emission to the atmosphere.

Groundwater was separated from the extracted vapor and treated using an ozone -hydrogen peroxide advanced oxidation system. Treated groundwater was then discharged in conformance with a permit issued by the County of Los Angeles Sanitation Districts (LACSD). The remediation strategy for the deeper groundwater now varies from the ROD approach of using in situ chemical oxidation at a targeted on -site area, groundwater extraction in a non -focused, offsite area, and construction of an offsite in situ bio- barrier underlying a nearby residential area. As a key member of the technical team, a stay or possible elimination of the in situ chemical oxidation system was negotiated with USEPA on the basis that previous pilot testing did not demonstrate effectiveness of the technology at the site and that the bio-barrier was not needed. Instead, the current deeper groundwater remediation strategy consists of targeted on -site and off -site groundwater extraction to contain and mitigate concentration hot -spots and to reduce overall extraction rates. The proposed program is expected to decrease remediation times by 10 to 15 years at a VOC-Affected Soil and Groundwater Iternediation
Project Manager. Responsible for preparing plans, specifications, construction, and operation of two 300 scfm, high vacuum soil vapor extraction (SVE) systems. The high vacuum systems were used to dewater the shallow groundwater zone and then extract soil vapor containing chlorinated solvents. Extracted groundwater and soil vapor were treated using GAC. In conjunction with this project, a pilot study was conducted to evaluate injection of Fenton's Reagent into the vadose and saturated zones was conducted as to assess the feasibility of implementing this remedial option. While some VOC removal was experienced, the level of removal was not sufficient to warrant further application at this site. Finally, as a final polishing step in the site remediation, in situ biological treatment of the residual VOC mass was stimulated using a proprietary substrate solution with the objective of catalyzing the reductive dechlorination of PCE and TCE.

Wholesale Facility and Fueling Station, Santa Clara, CA Responsible for overseeing implementation of remedial measures consisting of biologically active GAC units for treatment of MTBE and TBA in groundwater at a gasoline retail station. His activities included developing and review of design and startup of the treatment system.

Farm Fueling Facility, Ventura Cou .ty, CA
Responsible for overseeing implementation of remediation measures consisting of high vacuum extraction to remove gasoline constituents and MTBE for soil and groundwater at a farm. Activities included implementing remediation system operations consisting of dual -phase extraction, groundwater extraction and .treatment, and bioventing, developing groundwater characterization work plans, and negotiations on behalf of the client with the Ventura County Environmental Health Division. The monitoring record and residual soil vapor data were used to demonstrate that the residual VOCs constituted a low risk to human health and groundwater quality. Case closure was granted by Ventura County.
