CFS was originally asked to provide a proposal for the Site in January 2004. The 2004 proposal was based on a conference call on January 23, 2004, with Eric Oough at the Oregon Deparbnent of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) Tanks. Program. Since the original proposal, regulations have changed and ~sions with. Oaudia Johansen and Joe Klemz at (ODEQ) have indicated a new analytical suite will be required, due to these changes. This proposal has been updated to reflect costs using 2007 CFS rates (attached). Our goal is to assist the Oty of Ashland (City) in closing the Site with a 'No Further Action' letter from ODEQ. In order to do this as efficiently as possible, this proposal has been broken into several tasks. As we discussed, what is learned in the first task (review of the Site information and development of an action plan) will affect which of the ensuing tasks (if any) will likely need to be performed to achieve Site closure. For example, based on what is learned in Task 1 and Task 2, one year of quarterly groundwater monitoring (Task 3) may not be necessary. Therefore, this proposal pertains specifically to perfonIUng Task 1. The cost estimates and schedule for the remaining tasks have been included to provide you with a 'road map' of what the City should plan on if those tasks must be performed. H you agree with this proposal, and wish to proceed with Task 1, please sign' the authorization section, and return it to our Albany office. H a PO is issued for this work, please reference pre-project number 2723-750, We look forward to assisting the City of Ashland with their environmental and engineering needs. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at (541) 812-6625 or by cell phone at (503) 931-3157. Sincerely, CASCADE RMT/mab Doc: 2723-750-B-StreelDoc October 29, 2007 PROPOSAL TO PERFORM A SUBSURFACE INVESTIGATION AT 1097 B STREET IN ASHLAND, OREGON (ODEQ USTC FILE ##15-00-0(24) This Proposal/Work Authorization is intended to establish responsible parties, ensure communication between Cascade Earth Sciences (CFS) and the Gty of Ashland (Client), and outline the terms and conditions under which both parties will operate. The proposal defines the approach, scope of work, and estimated costs for services provided. . r Significant amounts of data already exist for the Site, including laboratory results for soil and groundwater samples. However, the data have not been organized or interpreted, making it difficult to determine how to best proceed. The first step would be to review and organize the existing Site information in order to develop a work plan to characterize, and ultimately to close, the Site. Though the results of the review would dictate the work p~ the Gty would like to know up-front what the schedule and likely costs would be to achieve Site closure. Therefore, based on what CFS has learned. to date, tasks that may be necessary to achieve closure of the Site are presented in this proposal to assist the Gty in their planning process. The Site is currently the Gty of Ashland (City) maintenance shop, which has been used over the years for maintenance and repair of equipment and vehicles. Reportedly, the Site may have been used as an aboveground bulk fuel storage site. Along with the recent conference call, CFS also met with the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) on April 10, 2001, to discuss the project and to come to agreement on the next steps, with the ultimate goal of receiving a No Further Action (NF A) letter from the ODEQ. From the information provided by the Gty, and information I gathered from the ODEQ project files, it appears as if three underground storage tanks (USI's) were decommissioned in place at the site on April 29, 1988. Two of the USI's contained gasoline and were each 1,000 gallons in volume; the other usr contained diesel fuel and was 2,500 gallons in volume. At the time of decommissioning, the diesel fuel UST was approximately 10 years old, and the gasoline USI's were approximately 30 years old. During the development of a new shop facility on May 3,2000, Gty contractor's encountered petroleum impacted soil, which appeared Cascade Earth ScIences 2723-7501Doc: 2723-750 B-Street Tank 81 proposal.07a.doc as Background City of AshlandlB-Street Tank Site Investigation Page 1 October 29, 2007 to originate from the decommissioned USTs. The Oty contracted . with Pump~ Pipe, and Tank to excavate the USTs and collect soil samples. Several test pits and trenches were excavated in the area . adjacent and downgradient from the former location of the USTs. A soil sample collected at 3.8 feet below ground surface (bgs), from an excavation approximately 50 feet downgradient of the USTs, indiqited the presence of total petroleum hydrocarbon - gasoline range hydrocarbons (TPH-Gx) at 270 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) and TPH - diesel fuel range hydrocarbons (Ox) at 84 mg/kg. In addition, 75 feet downgradient of the USTs, a soil sample was collected at 11 feet BGS, near the groundwater/soil interface, which exhibited a concentration of TPH-Gx at 440 mg/kg and TPH- Ox at 856 mg/kg. On June 9, 2000, the ODEQ collected soil and groundwater samples from several excavations at the site. Benzene was detected at 144 micrograms per liter (J1g/L), in the "North Trench", which is located approximately 45 feet downgradient of the former USTs. In addition, two soil samples, at unknown depths, exhibited concentrations of TPH-Gx at 840 mg/kg and 610 mg/kg, in trenches 35 feet and 75 feet downgradient of the. former USTs. Based on the results of the previous investigations at the Site, ODEQ has asked the Oty for further characterization of potential soil and groundwater impacts. CFS is re-submitting this new proposal based on feedback from ODEQ regarding the further characterization. Specific objectives of the proposed investigation include: · Review existing information about environmental conditions at the Site; · Prepare a work plan to fill data gaps (if any); · Collect additional soil and/ or groundwa~ data (if any); and · Prepare a written Risk-Based Evaluation of the Site requesting closure from ODEQ.

Each task is outlined below, including 'thetask definition, and estimated costs. . Scope of. Work' Task 1 Site Review and Recommended Work Plan This task includes project planning and management, meetings, accounting, and correspondence with the City and the ODEQ. Continuing the good communicative rapport between the City, ODEQ, and CFS will be an asset towards ultimate Site closure. CBS will gather all information the City and ODEQ have regarding the Site. This will include information such as: digital CAD files of the Site, any decommissioning reports for the three usrs decommissioned in 1988, receipts or other information about contaminated soil excavated and removed from the Site, and laboratory data. H necessary, CFS may contact Bob McHenry of Pump Pipe and Tank for clarification. In additio~ CFS will also perform a site visit. A draft work plan will be prepared and submitted to the City. The work plan will present a recommended course of action to fill any data gaps identified to determine the magnitude and extent of contamination at the Site so that a risk-based assessment can be performed (if necessary) to achieve Site closure. The pertinent existing data will be presented m an organized fashion, including tables and figures as appropriate. Once the City approves the draft work p~ CFS will submit it to ODEQ for their review. Comments from ODEQ will be incorporated into the draft work plan as appropriate and agreed to by the City. A final work plan will be prepared for submittal to the City and to ODEQ. Task 2 Soil and Groundwater Characterization Based on our initial review of the background informatio~ it appears that the source of contamination (Usrs and contaminated soil) has been removed from the Site. Furthermore, the ODEQ has agreed that the existing suite of compounds analyzed by the laboratory (l'PH Dx and TPH Gx for many samples, volatile organic compounds (V0Cs) and ploynuclear aromatic hydrocabons (PARs) for some samples) is adequate. Therefore, additional soil characterization should be limited. Cascade Earth ScIences 2723-7501Doc: 2723-750 B-Street Tank SI proposal.07a.doc City of AshlandlB-Street Tank Site Investigation Page 3 October 29, 2007 r'CC:1...... .............. .... ..... ~ Results for groundwater are based on one sample collected frOin pit water during excavation activities. The'reported concentrations are higher than several of the risk-basecI guidelines. Additional groundwater assessment and sampling will likely be needed to characterize the magnitude and extent of the groundwater impacts.. . A GeoProbeN will be used to advance four soil borings at areas requiring further delineation. Actua1locations will be made based on what is learned in Task 1. The borings will be continuously logged for lithology and photo-ionization detector (PID) headspace readings. A total of four soil samples will be collected from the borings to be analyzed for petroleum hydrocarbon screening (NWTPH-HCID). The samples will receive follow-up analysis for gasoline range hydrocarbons or diesel fuel range hydrocarbons based on the results of the screening. Additionally, the soil sample exhibiting the highest concentration of gasoline will receive follow- up analysis for VOCS and total lead. The sample exhibiting the highest concentration of diesel fuel will receive follow-up analysis for VOCS and PAHs. Vertical soil sample locations will be based on PID readings, odor, and visual signs. All sampling equipment will be de-contaminated between each sampling event according to CFS Standard Operating Procedures. Four 1.S-inch diameter monitoring wells will be'installed at the Site using the GeoProbeN. The location of the wellS will be determined in the field, but will likely include one upgradient well, one assumed 'worst-case' well near the area thought to be most impacted, and two down gradient wells. A licensed monitoring well installer will install the wells, and start cards will be recorded with the Oregon Water Resources Department. Lithology will be logged during drilling, under the direction of an Oregon Registered Geologist The monitoring well top-of-casing elevations will be surveyed by the aty. Wells will be developed by purging at least three well-bore volumes of groundwater. Purge water will be stored onsite in drums pending laboratory analysis. Field parameters (pH, conductivity, and temperature) will'be monitored during purging to assure that groundwater samples are representative of aquifer conditions. Wells will be allowed to stand for 24 hours prior to collection of groundwater samples. Static water levels will be collected and groundwater flow direction will be eStablished. Wells will be purged and sampled using a peristaltic pump, and dedicated tubing to prevent any cross contamination. Groundwater samples - will be analyzed for NWI'PH-HCID screening, with follow-up analysis for gasoline and diesel fuel range hydrocarbons.

The sample exhibiting the highest concentration of diesel fuel will receive follow-up analysis for VOCS and P AHs. Task 3 Ouarterly Groundwater Monitoring The four groundwater wells installed in Task 2 will be monitored for three additional quarters (one full year). Static water levels will be collected and a figure showing groundwater flow direction will be prepared. Three well volumes will be purged during each monitoring event. Samples will be analyzed for the same suite of analyses as in Task 2. One duplicate sample will be collected and submitted blind to the laboratory for quality control purposes. Laboratory results and the figure showing groundwater flow direction will be submitted to the City and to ODEQ with a brief cover letter. Task 4 Risk-Based Closure ReDort em will prepare a report of findings using the ODEQ's risk-based decision making guidelines for the remediation of petroleum- contaminated sites. This will include development of a conceptual model, identification of appropriate complete exposure pathways, and an assessment of risk. H the assessment shows that soil and groundwater at the Site is not impacted greater than any applicable geneiic risk based concentrations, Site closure will be requested. The risk-based report will also include a summary of figures, tables, results from all of the tasks performed earlier.
