Notes:
     1 – Subcontractor fees include a 10% markup.
     2 - Subcontractor cost based on scope-of-work provided by TRC to ESI (attached) and estimated level

     of effort to complete each task and includes worst-case conditions for the installation of the monitoring
     and observation wells; rates will be adjusted accordingly based on actual level of effort in the field.
     3 - Environmental laboratory rates are based on DAS Contract 19PSX0095 (Phoenix Environmental

     Laboratories as the least-cost provider). Note, rates are based on standard turnaround times, a
     surcharge will be applied for any rush analysis requested.

Background

An estimated 1,500 – 1,7000 gallons of diesel fuel was released within the school’s boiler room when
the solenoid valve and high-level float switch associated with the day-tank for the emergency generator
failed. Product entered the floor drains and made its way to a small stream located on the northern side
of the property. ESI, as the spill response contractor, recovered approximately 1,000 gallons from the
building’s drainage network and the stream. Currently, absorbent booms remain deployed to capture
residual product. Product penetrated cracks and seams in the boiler room’s concrete slab floor. Free
phase product was observed in several sub-slab locations on the groundwater encountered at
approximately 2 to 2.5 feet below slab grade.

Scope of Remedial Services

Evaluate extent of petroleum impacts to the sub-slab soils and Site groundwater and perform limited
product recovery to evaluate the level-of-effort need to recover the remaining product and limit the
advancement of the groundwater contamination plume.

Requested Services:

    •   Install four properly constructed 2-inch groundwater monitoring wells around the exterior of the
        building.
            o Three overburden monitoring wells to be located on the northern side of the building
                  outside the boiler room (presumed down-gradient location).
            o One overburden monitoring well installed in a presumed up-gradient location (southern
                  side/front of school).
            o Each well to be constructed with 10 feet of No. 10 slotted screen (top of screen set two
                  feet above the groundwater interface and eight feet below, or to the depth of bedrock if
                  encountered), sand pack and bentonite grout seal, and completed with a flush-mount
                  road box set in concrete with a locking gripper plug.
    •   Install six 2-inch observation wells within the boiler room at locations where ESI identified
        product or heavy impacts and additional locations for spatial coverage.
            o Core (6-inch diameter) through slab and complete soil macro-cores to depth of 8 feet
                  below the slab or bedrock refusal, whichever is less.
            o Install 4 – 6 feet of 2-inch PVC No. 10 slotted screen.
            o Complete with 6-inch flush-mount road box, bentonite grout and gripper plug (hydraulic
                  cement grout between slab and road box skirt to mitigate vapor intrusion).
    •   Using a vacuum truck, draw on each sub-slab observation well and monitor for product
        recovery.
    •   Pressure jet floor drains to remove residual product.

Prior to drilling, TRC will coordinate with a private subsurface utility locating service to screen each
selected boring location for buried utilities. TRC will log each soil boring location and record PID
measurements, water levels and product thickness (if observed). Following installation, each interior
well location exhibiting measurable product will be drawn on using a vacuum truck, then monitored for
recovery. These services will need to be performed during weekend periods; two separate product
draw-down events spaced one week apart.
