RE: Stead Air Force Base, Reno, Nevada 

Dear Mr. Loring: 

February 28, 1992 

Project No. 127-14-6 

SEA, Incorporated is pleased to present this summary of landfill 

remediation work conducted at Silver Lake Business Center, located in Stead, 

Nevada. The landfill remediation process was initiated with a Nevada Division 

of Environmental Protection (NDEP) Order dated September 18, 2990, and is 

currently ongoing. 

To date, three waste disposal sites have undergone remediation at the 

Silver Lake Business Center (see Plate 1) referred to as the Southeast Landfill, 

Northeast Landfill, and Asphalt Debris Area. Two sites contain landfill debris 

which primarily consists of waste metal, concrete, wood, glass containers, 

parachute cloth, and crushed and corroded metal drums and containers. 

Deeper portions of both the Southeast and Northwest sites contain debris 

apparently concentrated in generally north-south trending trenches. Petroleum 

contaminated soils were encountered in the deeper portions of excavation at the 

Northwest Landfill site. Utility line trenching to the west and south of these 

sites has also encountered several apparent north-south trending landfill 

trenches which will also require remediation. 

Contents of debris at the landfill site have included numerous military 

articles: signal flares (approximately 170 unearthed to date); spent ammunition 

shells (50 caliber and 30-06); articles of military clothing including boots, vests, 

and pouches; abundant parachute cloth; and various base signs. A few articles 

with dates have included: coke bottles dated from mid-1950's to mid-1960's; 

automobile plates from the 1950's; and signal flares dated 1952.

The Asphalt Debris Area is located to the east of the landfill sites. This 

irea contained waste asphalt concrete and asphalt tar materials. The asphalt 

lebris was mostly surficial in nature and locally extended to depths in excess of 

+ feet beneath pre-remediation ground surface. 

Presented below is a chronological summary of work conducted to date.

April, 1991 Preparation of Site Safety and Health Plan 

April, 1991 Start of Remediation at Southeast Site 

September, 1991 Investigation and Remediation of Asphalt 

Debris Site 

February, 1992 Start of Remediation of Northwest Site 

Remediation of the Asphalt Debris Area and Southeast Landfill are 

nearing completion, with only minor areas which require final cleanup. 

Remediation of the Northwest Landfill is currently pending determination of 

the extent and degree of petroleum contaminated soils. Additional sampling 

was conducted on February 26, 1992 and we anticipate receiving analytical 

results by March 6, 1992. 

A large mounded area exists directly to the west of the current landfill 

remediation area. A borrow excavation at the western flank has exposed 

landfill debris. Surficial waste debris (asphalt, metal, glass, etc.) can be 

observed scattered over the western mound area. We highly suspect that this 

mound area also contains landfill waste generated during operation if the Stead 

Airforce Base. The aerial extent of suspect impacted land is approximately 400 

feet east-west, and 500 feet north-south. To date, no subsurface exploration of 

this area has been conducted. 

For a more detailed account of waste debris remediation at Silver Lake 

Business Center, the attached documents have been included: NDEP Orders, 

Work Plan, Site Health and Safety Plan, Progress Correspondence, Laboratory 

Testing.

Ivf EMORANDUM 

TO: David Loring (Dermody Properties) 

FROM: Don Kleinfelder (Kleinfelder, Inc.) mG 

SUBJECT: Landfill Investigation, Silver Lake Business Park 

We suggest the following procedure for addressing the excavation of historic trenches and 

landfill debris at the sanitary landfill located in the northwest corner of the Silver Lake 

Business Park (reference Phase I Preacquisition Site Assessment, Stead Property, June 20, 

1990). The procedure is based on a letter issued to Dermod Properties on November 20, 

1990, by Nevada Department of Environmental Protection r NDEP) and on conversations 

between David Emme of NDEP and Don Kleinfelder of Kleinfelder, Inc. 

An OSHA 40-hour health and safety-certified backhoe operator will perform all 

excavation activities. 

A qualified geologist with OSHA 40-hour health and safety training will observe all 

excavation activities. 

The geologist will develop a health and safety plan for the project, and will use level 

"D" protection. Air-purifying respirators will be kept available for use as needed. 

The geologist will collect regular environmental samples from each trench and 

analyze each sample head space with an organic vapor analyzer (OVA). Should 

OVA readings indicate the presence of organic vapors, the geologist will submit 

duplicate samples to an EIPA-certified analytical laboratory for analysis (EPA 

Method 8240). Analyses should be performed on a 24-hour turnaround basis if 

possible. The geologist will containerize or stockpile the soil from which the sample 

originated in black poly-sheeting pending characterization and disposal. 

Should the waste be characterized as hazardous, Dermody Properties will contract 

to an appropriate disposal firm to properly dispose of the waste. 

Excavation material not characterized as hazardous by either the OVA or an 

analytical laboratory will be disposed of in a local sanitary landfill. 

The geologist will contact Elob Sack of Washoe County Health Department and 

inform him of this plan prior to its initialization.

RE: Proposal to Conduct Monitoring of Landfill Removal 


In accordance with your request, SEA, Incorporated is pleased to present 

this proposal to provide mo@torin~ of activities associated with the removal of 

landfilled materials at the Silver Lake Business Center 11. This proposal has 

been prepared in conjunction with a conceptual plan for monitoring of 

landfilled materials in response to a letter from the Nevada Division of 

Environmental Protection (NDEP) dated November 20, 1990. 

PROJECTAPPROACH 

As detailed in our conceptual plan dated December 28, 1990, the 

monitoring of removal operations will be conducted in such a manner so that 

all applicable local, state, and federal regulations regarding the disposal of the 

material encountered are adhered to. Monitoring will be provided by members 

of SEA'S environmental staff, who are familiar with environmental regulations 

and requirements associated with the removal and disposal of potentially 

hazardous and hazardous materials, should they be encountered. 

Samples will be obtained of excavated materials on a periodic basis which 

will be analyzed utilizing a photo-ionization detector to evaluate the presence 

of organic vapors. Specific gas analysis will be conducted where warranted 

utilizing a colorimetric gas analyzer. Duplicate samples will be obtained of any 

field analyzed sample exhibiting significant presence of organic vapors, or other 

indications of hazardous potential. This duplicate sample would then be 

submitted to an NDEP approved analytical laboratory for detailed chemical 

analyses for the suspected contaminant(s). 

Should unanticipated and potentially hazardous materials such as 

unexploded ordnance or containers of unknown contents be encountered, ail 

work would be ceased in the affected area until the materials are evaluated by




December 28, 1990 

Revised January 4, 1991 

Page 2 

the appropriate experts, and a safe procedure for dealing with them has been 

developed. 

At the conclusion of this project, a summary report will be prepared, 

detailing the conduct of the project, and including our findings, conclusions, and 

recommendations for further action, if necessary. 

HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS 

Because of the nature of this project, and the ulnknowm associated with 

material that may have been landfilled, personnel assigned to this project will 

possess current training in accordance with OSHA health and safety regulations 

contained in 29 CFR 1910.1200. A site specific health and safety program 

covering SEA personnel will also be prepared for this project. Contractors and 

other personnel on the project should be required to submit similar health and 

safety plans to cover their workers, and all plans reviewed for safety at this site. 

Although it is anticipated that this project will require "Level D" personal 

protective equipment (consisting of normal work clothing), ambient conditions 

will be monitored during all removal activities onsite. Monitoring will include 

assessment of the concentrations of explosive gas mixtures utilizing a 

combination explosimeter and oxygen content meter, assessment of the 

concentrations of volatile organic vapors utilizing a photo-ionization detector, 

and assessment of' potential sources of ionizing radiation utilizing a handheld 

radiation detector. 

As will be detailed in the site specific health and safety plan, additional 

personal protection equipment could be necessitated. 

PROJECT COORDINATION 

This project will be under the direction of Larry J. Johnson as Project 

Manager, and assisted by Gregory J. Moss as Senior Hydrogeologist. Mr. Moss 

will be responsiblle for supervising field operations, and for compliance with 

both OSHA health and safety requirements, as well as applicable environmental 

regulations. Dal Hunter, PhD, and Dwight Smith will provide actual field 

monitoring and observation. For your reference, resumes for each of these 

individuals have been included.

RE: SEA, Inc. Health and Safety Plan - Silver Lake Business 

Center 11 Landfill 

Dear Mr. Emme: 

This office has reviewed SEA'S Site Health and Safety Plan for 

the Silver Lake Business Center I1 Landfill Removal, and has 

serious reservations as to the completeness of information 

regarding this site. The following areas require further 

information: 59 

Section I - Project Description and Risk Analysis (A) 

Additional Information - states that area was previously 

used as a military dump, with the possibility of "munitions, 

toxic gases, chemicals, etc.". Terminology must be more 

specific in identifying possible hazards. By "toxic gases", 

are you referring to military chemical agents and if so, 

what information is available as to the types of agents 

suspected and quant it ies disposed of? In reference to 

"chemicals", the same logic applies. Does "ch~emicals" refer 

to military chemical agents or to commercial chemicals, such 

as solvents? Is informat ion available as to past practices 

of the military's disposal methods in this area? In 

reference to "munit ions", what informat ion leads you to 

believe they are suspected of being disposed of in this 

area, and if so, what types and quantities are suspected?

Mr. David Emme - 2 - March 21, 1901 

Should any of the above suspected hazards be known to have been 

disposed of in this area, further investigation will be required 

to satisfy the safety requirements specific to this site. 

If chemical agents are indeed suspect, appropriate detector kits 

will be required to detect presence of agents by type (i .e. 

nerve, blister, etc. ), and proper protective gear and on-site 

decontamination will be required. 

In the event that information is available as to the disposal of 

munitions, this office recommends a thorough background as to 

type, quantity, and disposal methods. If munitions are 

confirmed, this office will require that surface and subsurface 

surveys be performed prior to excavation. This office will also 

require that appropr fate civilian or military Explosive Ordnance 

Disposal personnel be present during any excavation operations. 

Section I-D. Risk Analysis (3) - Other Potential Hazards - 

has blocks marked Radioactive Materials, Oxidizers/ 

Explosives, and Unknown blocks checked. Is information 

available regarding disposal of radioactive material, and if 

so, what extent? 

Section I-E. Control Measures-(1.1) Level of protect ion 

(task) As outlined in previous referenced paragraphs, 

possibility of exposures to a wide variety of hazards, to 

include asbestos, chemical agents and radionucleides is 

indicated for this site. As stated in safety plan, levels 

of protective equipment for task is inadequate, and will 

require upgrading until such time that potential hazards are 

disproved. 

Reference various other sect ions of safety plan, proper 

protective clothing, monitoring instruments, decontamination 

procedures, etc., should be addressed with regards to potential 

hazards. 

Section I-E (3) Required Safety and Personal Hygiene 

dwu Facilit ies-Eye wash, portable washing facility and clean 

area will be required, with designated areas specified. 

Should other hazards as outlined above be present, 

decontaminat ion and clean shower area wi 11 be required. 

Under temporary field conditions, provisions shall be made 

to assure at least one toilet facility is available, whether 

nearby or on site. 

Section I-F Site Control Plan - Comments reserved until such 

time that further information as outlined above is 

avellabiet

Mr. David Emme - 3 - March 21. 1991 

Section I-G Hazardous Waste Management and Spill Control - 

From description of site as outlined, it is difficult to 

believe that no hazardous wastes wi 11 be generated. 

,/- Section I-H Emergency Response Contacts - WCDHD HAZMAT 

NUMBERS are 328-2489 or 328-2476. 

This office recommends that the Health and Safety Plan be 

changed to reflect known and suspected hazards, with 

contingencies written specifically for speculative hazards as 

ment ioned . 

Should you have any questions regarding this m~atter, please 

contact me at 328-2476.

RE: Amended Health and Safety Plan-Silver Lake Business Park I1 

Dear Mr. Johnson: 

Reference our meeting on March 22, 1991 and previous meeting 

held the same day with your staff, David Loring of Dermody 

Properties and Don Kleinfelder of Kleinfelder Associates, 

further information regarding the previous uses of this project 

necessitated amendment of previously submitted Health and Safety 

Plan. The following information was obtained: 

x No evidence is documented as to disposal of munitions 

or unexploded ordnance in this area. Explosive ordnance 

demolition range was reported to be far to the north of 

runway and airport activities. Further, construction work 

in the general area and exploratory trenching through 

landfill gave no indication of presence of munitions. 

* Geophysical survey of landfill area was previously 

performed, with anomalies excavated. Anomalies were found 

to be non-hazardous in nature, although one decayed, empty 

steel drum was located. 

* Groundwater monitoring wells were installed at various 

points in the general area of the landfill, with no 

significant concentrations of chemicals in the groundwater. 

Toluene was found to be in the soil at one monitor point, 

and should be considered in evaluating disposal of 

contaminated soi 1.

WASHOE COUNTY IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

Mr. Larry Johnson March 26, I991 

x Exploratory trenching revealed organic debris atypical 

to a municipal landfill. Also, based on the layers of 

carbon in the sidewall of the trench, it appears that waste 

was periodically burned to reduce volume of waste piles. 

Based on above information, Washoe County District Health 

Department hereby approves the Health and Safety Plan as 

amended. This office requests that we be contacted prior to 

excavation, and that we be kept informed as to disposition of 

this project.

Re: Silver Lake Business Center Landfill Removal 




Exploratory trlenching of the higher density landfill at the Silver Lake 

Business Center was conducted on February 21, 1991. Results of the trenching, 

which was preformed to a depth of approximately 4 feet, indicated that the 

upper soils in the southern half of the landfill contain domestic type refuse 

(estimated 20 to 50 percent) with some burned horizons at least in those areas 

explored. Small concentrations of methane (5% of the lower explosive limit) 

were detected in ithe trench areas which penetrated the refuse. All soils 

containing domestic refuse should be disposed of in a Ilandfill, in accordance 

with applicable local, state, and federal requirements. 

The northern half of the landfill contains relatively lesser amounts 

(estimated 1 to 5 percent) of metal, wood, and fabric debris, primarily 

concentrated in upper 2 feet of soils in the areas explored. No field evidence 

of volatile organic compounds or radioactivity was observed during monitoring 

of the exploratory trenching work of the entire site. The minor quantity of 

debris observed in exploration of the northern half could be separated by 

screening. 

Based on the limited data available at present, our estimate of the quantity 

of soils which may require some type of removal is approximately 3,000 cubic 

yards. Evidence from exploratory trenching of the upper 4 feet indicate 

approximately 50 percent of the material consist of soils which contain a 

significant quantity of domestic refuse. These quantities could change very 

significantly once dleeper excavation work is conducted.

Re: Silver Lake Landfill 


April 25, 1991 


Enclosed is an extra work authorization for additional fees required to 

complete field monitoring of landfill removal activities at Silver Lake Business 

Park. Preparation of the Site Health and Safety Plan required several non 

budgeted meetings and extra preparation work in order to satisfy questions 

raised by the Waslhoe County District Health Department (WCDHD) 

concerning Nevada Division of Environmental Protection comments as to 

potential hazardous materials in the landfill. 

In addition, excavation in the northeastern portion of the landfill 

uncovered discarded signal flares, a few of which contain minor amounts of 

active substance. Several time delays and slower than anticipated excavation 

have resulted from discovery of the flares. To date, approximately 160 flares 

have been removed. These flares will be disposed of by the fire department, 

in accordance with applicable local, State, and Federal regulations. The 

discovery of these flares has not necessitated any revisions to our work plan, 

although the WCDHlD has requested that a slower pace of work and increased 

vigilance be adopted throughout the remainder of the landfill removal process. 

During this week, and the previous week, soils with low debris content 

have been excavated and screened, with the screened material being segregated 

for future use as fill. As anticipated, a majority of the northern half of the 

landfill is acceptable for screening. The screening portion of this project should 

be completed , weathered permitting, in the next several days. 

Excavation and hauling of soils within higher debris content will be 

conducted next. In order to expedite the monitoring of landfill excavation, 

excavation of these materials will be conducted on a continual basis, regardless

stockpiled on-site, for future hauling at Highfield Corporation's discretion and 

convenience. We anticipate that one to two weeks is a reasonable time frame 

for completion of all excavation activities, although, the actual time required

RE: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Telephone Call RE: Silver Lake 

Business Center Landfill Excavation 

I received a telephone call today from Joan Siegal and Doug 

Perreira, representing ERTEC, the US. ARMY Corps of Engineers' 

(COE) contractor for environmental projects. She stated that the COE 

had requested that ERTEC look into the possibility of conducting a 

Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) on the Stead Air Force 

Base site, and wished to know the broad outline of work that had been 

conducted on this site. She couched her request as being directed to me 

as Project Manager for Dermody Properties by Allen Dreher of the 

Washoe County District Health Department (WCDHD). 

In accordance with what sounded to be an official request of 

information, I related in general terms the intent of' the project, as 

described in our workplan, as this is public information having been 

submitted to the WCDHD and the Nevada Division of Environmental 

Protection (NDEP). I also related that our only adverse findings to date 

were a small volume of soil contaminated with naphthalene, and a number 

of spent signal flares. I further explained that the U.S. Army 34th 

Ordnance Detachment (EOD) had destroyed the signal flares on May 16, 

1991. All of this information is likewise public record, as the WCDHD is 

involved. 

Ms. Siegal also &ked about ground water monitoring wells in the 

site vicinity, and seemed somewhat confused as to the lolcation of the site. 

I explained that the ten monitoring wells she mentioned were probably 

installed by Kleinfelder, as part of a Phase I, Phase TI, and Phase 111 

Preaquisition Site Assessment performed for Dermody Properties, and 

directed her to (enquire of Dermody and/or Kleinfelder for that 

information. I also clarified her impression of the location of the landfill 

excavation site. 

In closing, Ms. Siegal requested that I provide a copy of a summary 

report to ERTEC. I replied that such a request should be made to 

Derrnody Properties, and that I would be pleased to submit such a report 

upon authorization from Dermody. I directed her to David Loring, at

Re: Silver Lake Landfill Removal 


May 31, 1991 


Removal of the higher density debris landfill at the Silver Lake 

Business Park is nlearing completion. As of May 25, 1991, total consulting 

fees for this project are approximately $13,900.00. This total includes all 

laboratory testing services, field monitoring services, initial work plan and 

site health and safety plan preparation, and limited geotechnical testing of 

screened material for structural fill suitability. Total coinsulting fees for this 

project are considerably increased over our initial expectations primarily due 

to unexpected, increased agency review, throughout the removal process and 

especially during the healthy and safety plan preparation and potentially 

hazardous articles and substances (signal flares and naphthalene) being 

unearthed, thus, necessitating more vigilant excavation efforts including 

limited laboratory testing for determination and identification of suspect 

contaminates. 

Additional environmental consulting fees which will be required to 

complete the removal of the higher density refuse material are estimated to 

be approximately $4,000.00. Work which remains to be completed includes 

monitoring trenching and excavation of the remaining debris material, 

preparation of a short report which documents removal for submittal to 

Washoe County District Health Department, and anticipated forthcoming 

coordination and meeting time with the Army Corps olf Engineers related 

to reimbursement possibilities for both consultant and contractor costs. This 

estimate assumes that 2 to 3 days of additional field monitoring will be 

required to complete the landfill excavation, and no potentially hazardous 

substances are encountered which would necessitate laboratory testing or 

work plan modifications.

MEMORANDUM 

RE: US. Army Corps of Engineers Telephone Call RE: Silver Lake 

Business Center Landfill Excavation 

On June 3, 1991, we contacted Joan Siegal of ERTEC in an effort 

to arrange a meeting with the Army Corps of Engineers concerning the 

landfill removal efforts and possible reimbursement for removal costs. 

Doug Perreira of ERTEC returned our call. He had been informed of 

proceedings at the site and informed us that he had contacted Sharon 

Bruno at the Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento office. We briefly 

discussed proceedings at the site, including Kleinfelders findings and our 

excavation efforts. 

We received a call from Ms. Bruno on June 4, 1991. She was 

informed that we desired to arrange a meeting with the Army Corps of 

Engineers concerning possible reimbursement for removal efforts at the 

site. She was updated on the work that has been conducted at the site. 

Items discussed included Kleinfelder's initial Phase I, 11, and I11 site 

assessments which included soil sampling, ground water monitoring well 

construction and ground water sampling, and trenching to characterize the 

low and higher density debris mounds. I also noted that Kleinfelders 

studies had been used to formulate the Site Health and Safety Plan and 

the Project Work Plan, which were approved by the Washoe County 

District Health Department. 

Removal work which has been conducted at the site to this date 

was also relayed. Ms. Bruno was informed that we anticipated completion 

of the higher density debris material removal in about one month. She 

was also informed of discovering approximately 170 signal flares which 

were destroyed by the U.S. Army 34th Ordnance Detachment. It was 

further explained that the nature of the debris was primarily nonhazardous 

types of military delbris such as army boots and parachute cloth along, with 

domestic refuse. Our unearthing of numerous highly coriroded containers, 

including one which contained some naphthalene product was also 

summarized.

Ms. Bruno requested a copy of the removal summary report be 

forwarded to her when the excavation was completed. She stated that to 

provide funding for remedial activities the Army Crops of Engineers 

would have to prepare a Remedial Investigation Feasibility Study (RIFS) 

at the site. She was also aware of several other sites related to operation 

of the former Air Force base was would be included in a RIFS (six 

questionable sites total). 

Unfortunately, the RIFS preparation typically takes about one year 

to complete. It generally takes another year before actual remediation is 

commenced. I expressed to her that we are in the middle of the 

remediation at the higher density debris landfill, but the lower density 

materials are to be removed at a later date. Ms. Bruno also stated that 

they can not make reimbursement for work conducted prior to their 

efforts. I requested that Ms. Bruno contact David Loring at (702) 788- 

8080 to further discuss the funding considerations with Dermody 

Properties.

Attention: Mr. Paull Donald 


Dear Mr. Donald: 

July 11, 1991 


As requested in our meeting of July 9, 1991, the following letter details 

our proposed work plan modification at the Silver Lake landfill. 

Approximately 4,100 cubic yards of soils which contains minor debris 

is stockpiled on site. This material is estimated to contain less than 1 

percent debris by volume which is comprised primarily of scrap metal, 

concrete, parachute cloth, webbing, nylon cord, and glass bottles. We 

initially anticipated that this material which originated from the southern 

half of the landfill mound would contain a higher concentration of debris 

and, therefore, require disposal at the Lockwood Landfill. The stockpiled 

material does not contain the higher debris concentrations expected. We 

therefore request to utilize the soil material for on-site fill in a similar 

manner as the material from the northern half of the mound. The material 

would be placed in thin 8-inch maximum lift thickness. The oversized metal, 

concrete, and other debris, will be machine segregated from each 8-inch 

loose lift with the compactor blade. Smaller articles suclh as cloth and glass 

bottles will be hand picked from each lift to the extent possible. Two 

laborers are proposed for this task. All segregation will be conducted prior 

to compaction of each 8-inch lift. The separated debris will be disposed of 

at the Lockwood Landfill. Documentation of the location of the fill will be 

maintained by SEA quality control personnel. SEA environmental 

personnel will provide initial start-up and spot checks of segregation 

operations. 

As noted in our meeting of July 9, 1991, we will notify you prior to 

conduct of work so you may arrange to be present to witness the operations. 

Since you have verbally approved the proposed modification during our 

meeting, we are proceeding with coordinating conduct of this work. Please 

notify us if any revisions will be necessary.

MEMORANDUM 

RE: Silver Lake Business Center Landfill Removal 

On June 13, 1991, a field meeting with David Loring, Glen 

Highfield, Larry Johnson, Mike DeMartini, 'and Dwight Smith was held 

to discuss remaining work at the landfill site. Approximately 

4,100 cubic yards of material is still stockpiled at the site. 

David Loring would like to use the material which is comprised of 

approximately 1 percent debris as on-site fill. Larry Johnson 

confirmed that from a geotechnical standpoint, the soils which 

contain this small percentage of debris should not pose any 

structural problems. It was noted that oversized material such as 

corroded metal, concrete, asphalt, tires, etc. could be hand 

separated from each lift prior to compaction. Parachute cloth and 

similar articles should also be separated from each lift. David 

Loring suggested that the location of the fill area could be on the 

south side of Echo Street and to the east of the landfill site in 

a 30 foot wide easement along the edge of the road. The sandy fill 

. could be capped with similar fill material which is presently been 

used at the site (contains a' minor clay content) to help reduce 

potential dust problems. 

It was noted that Washoe County District Health Department (WCDHD) 

would have to be informed of this proposed change in the Work Plan 

at the site. It was also noted that the location of the area to 

receive this fill material which is derived from the landfill site 

should be documented, so it can be located, if needed, at some 

later date. Lastly it was noted that placement of this material 

could potentially adversely impact the value of the property to 

receive the material, from an environmental viewpoint. The 

decision to use these soils as on-site fill, if approved by WCDHD, 

is the sole responsibility of Dermody Properties.

RE: Silver Lake Business Landfill Removal 

Dear Mr. Donald: 

June 14, 1991 


Disposal of stockpiled material produced during excavation at the 

higher density debris landfill is anticipated to proceed this coming week. As 

you are aware, during the initial portion of excavation, debris material was 

screened and the soils which passed were used as on-site fill. The rejected 

debris and soil have been hauled to the Lockwood Landfill. The later 

portion of work involved excavation of the remaining soils present above the 

surrounding ground level and stockpiling for future hauling to the Lockwood 

Landfill. We estimate that the stockpiled material which awaits disposal 

contains about 1 percent debris, primarily comprised of parachute cloth, 

webbing, glass bottles, various metal, concrete, decayed wood and other 

similar waste debris. The only potentially hazardous substances identified 

during our environmental monitoring of excavation activities were 

approximately 170 signal flares and some residual naphthalene in a corroded 

metal container. The signal flares have been disposed of by the U.S. Army 

34th Ordnance Detachment and the small quantity of soils contaminated 

with naphthalene have been segregated for future disposal. 

At the request of Dermody Properties, we would like to propose that 

a modification to our Work Plan dated January 4,1991 and amended March 

25, 1991 to allow for use of the stockpiled material (estimated 4,100 cubic 

yards) as fill material, provided the oversized debris and cloth are hand 

separated during placement. Segregation will be conducted by physically 

removing the geotechnically unacceptable debris from each 8-inch lift of fill 

prior to compaction. 

Your consideration in this proposed modification to the Work Plan 

for the site is appreciated. Once the stockpiled material is removed from 

the work area, we will be monitoring trenching efforts a.t the site to identify

We have examined and tested the soil being generated by clean up of the 

landfill site on the above referenced project. The material is being screened to 

remove trash and other debris. On a visual basis we estimate that the screened 

soil contains less than one percent, by volume, debris. Much of the debris that 

remains is stable material, such as glass or plastic that will not decompose in a 

fill. In fact, the existing landfill is thought to be 20 to 30 years old and very 

little seems to have decomposed. 

A representative composite sample was collected from various locations on 

two large stockpiles of screened material. Test results are summarized

structural fill throughout the Silver Lake Business Center. Because some trash 

and debris is present we recommend the following order of preferred use: 

1) Non Structural (landscaping) fill. 

2) Structurall fill in parking areas. 

3) Structural fill in building pads. 

If the material is used as fill we recommend that visible trash and debris 

be removed from each lift, by hand, prior to compaction. Because all of the 

decomposable debris cannot be removed, there is some risk of minor long-term 

settlement associated with using this soil as structural fill. The use of this fill 

also could present a negative stigma concerning future environmental audits for 

potential buyers and/or lenders. This potential stigma should be considered by 7 

Dermody Properties in their decision of how, or even whether or not, to use this/ 

material as fill. I

September 16, 1991 


Exploration by backhoe to assess the extent of landfill material 

remaining at the Silver Lake Business Center was conducted on September 12 

and 13, 1991. Eleven test pits were excavated in the southwest corner of the 

Project B parcel, within the landfill disturbance boundary determined by 

Kleinfelder (see Plate 1). Apparent native soils were encountered in all 

exploration pits, and no evidence of refuse material was observed in this area. 

An additional six test pits were excavated into the northern portion of 

existing mound which was thought to contain lower density landfill material, 

based upon previous exploration conducted by Kleinfelder. This exploration 

unearthed an area of relatively concentrated landfill debris primarily composed 

of waste metal, concrete, glass, wood, and fabric. Our limited exploration 

indicates that the waste is located in the eastern portion of the existing mound, 

as indicated on Platie 1. Test pits in on the western side indicated a thin layer 

(typically 1 to 2 feet) of soil with minor concrete debris at the surface, underlain 

by apparent native soil. The concentration of debris encountered in our 

exploration pits indicates that these materials will require disposal offsite, in 

accordance with applicable local, state, federal regulations. The depth of 

impacted soils is in excess of 10 feet the maximum depth obtainable with 

backhoe. 

Exploration .was also conducted in the area of ongoing remediation. 

Fifteen test pits were excavated at the locations shown on Plate 2. One disposal 

trench was discovered at the approximate location shown on Plate 2. An 

elevated concentration of debris is present (in locations estimated greater than 

50% by weight) which will require disposal at Lockwood Landfill in accordance 

with our approved workplan. The debris is comprised primarily of waste 

concrete, cinder block, and metal, and is present to a depth exceeding 10 feet. 

The central and southern portion of the disposal trench has a relatively clean 

soil overburden ranging from 3 to 5 feet in thickness.

stimate that 1 to 2 days may be necessary to completely explore, define and 

:haracterize any rernaining landfill trenches. 

In conclusion, we would like to summarize the project environmental and 

:ngineering consulting fees which have been occurred for removal activities 

ince our last update of May 31, 1991. Total project fees as of our invoice 

lated September 12,1991, are $18,593.12. Additional fees since our last update 

n May (which is attached hereto) includes meetings and field monitoring work 

issociated with approving on-site use of soil which contained low density debris, 

ind monitoring on-site placement and segregation of debris as requested by 

Washoe County District Health Department. Also incliuded is meeting and

andfill removal efforts and structural fill locations. Field work conducted on 

September 12 and 13, 1991, has also been performed in response to these 

-equests. Fees for this field work have not been included in this summary. 

Additional fees for completion of this project are dependent upon the 

'indings of further exploration, but are anticipated to be no more than $3,250.00

Re: Parcel "B" and Silver Landfill Trenching 




On September 17 and 18, 1991, trenching was conducted to further 

investigate both conditions on the eastern portion of the "B" parcel and at 

the landfill remediation site. Trenching was conducted using a Caterpillar 

235 trackhoe. Three trenches and two additional pits were excavated on the 

"B" parcel at the approximate locations shown on Plate 1. Construction 

debris, primarily comprised of waste asphalt material, was encountered in 

the upper 1 to 4 feet (typically 2 feet thick) at the area indicated on Plate 

1. Apparently undisturbed native soils were encountered underlying these 

surficial materials at all locations. Field testing of soils was conducted at 

select locations for volatile organic compounds using a photoionization 

detector (PID) and IDreager tube analyses. No volatile organic compounds 

were detected. As recommended in our geotechnical letter dated 

September 18, 1991, the soils which contain asphalt debris should be further 

examined if reuse on the site is anticipated. 

Additional trenching was also conducted at the landfill remediation 

site at locations shown on Plate 2. The disposal trench previously identified 

in our September 16, 1991 letter was determined to be approximately 15 

feet wide, up to 13 feet in depth, and extends approximately 120 feet from 

north to south. Ground water was encountered at 16 feet below the existing 

ground surface. Cross trenching encountered native soils in all other 

explored areas. 

One additional pit was excavated on the neighboring mound to the 

northwest to determine the depth of landfilled debris identified in our 

September 16, 1991 letter. The pit was located at the northeast corner (see 

Plate 2) and encountered relatively high density burned refuse to a depth of 

15 feet, underlain by apparent native soils. The refuse is comprised 

primarily of metal and glass material in ash rich soils.

Re: Michelin Phase I Project - Structural Fill 




We have examined the exploratory trenches excavated in the area of the 

Michelin site at the Silver Lake Business Center. The purpose of this 

examination was to evaluate the uncontrolled fill materials exposed in the 

trench sidewalls and determine their geotechnical suitability for reuse as 

structural fill. 

As discussed in our original report for Project B Phases I and 11, all 

existing, uncontrolled fill must be removed from structural areas. This includes 

building, parking lot, and concrete slab areas. Much of the material observed 

consisted of fragments of old asphalt buried with silty to gravelly sand matrix. 

Commonly, these fragments of asphalt are 4 to 6 inches thick and over a foot 

in longest dimension. Some fragments over 3 feet in dimension were observed. 

A copy of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, 1991, for 

the City f Reno addressing permissible uses of recycled asphalt concrete in / 

structura 5 fill is attached for your review. 

Although the asphalt material is structurally sound and suitable for use in 

parking lot fills, there are always environmental concerns regarding reuse of 

materials from questionable origins. We recommend that the asphalt-bearing 

material be stockpiled until such time as it can be examined, tested and 

accepted by your environmental consultant, Kleinfelder. It may be necessary 

to get approval from the Washoe County District Health Department, prior to 

using this material. It may also be necessary to confine the material to a 

specific area of the site so that its exact location is known. Until these 

questions are answered, it would be unwise to risk contamination of the clean 

fill with the asphalt bearing material. 

When properly screened and or crushed, asphalt rubble can be 

incorporated to make a high quality structural fill. In this case, we recommend 

that any asphalt used in structural fill be reduced to a maximum particle size 

of approximately 6 inches. Due to problems of quality control in screening and

Re: Silver Lake Landfill Business Center, Additional Environmental 

Exploration 


Backhoe test pitting to assess the extent of landfill material remaining 

at the Silver Lake Business Center was conducted on September 12 and 13, 

1991. Eleven test pits were excavated in the southwest corner of the Project 

B parcel, within the landfill disturbance boundary determined by Kleinfelder 

(see Plate 1, Pits 1 - 11). Apparent native soils were encountered in all 

exploration pits, and no evidence of refuse material was observed in this 

area. 

An additional six test pits (Pits 12 - 17) were excavated into the 

northern portion of existing mound to the south of the Project B parcel 

which was thought to contain lower density landfill material, based upon 

previous site assessment work conducted by Kleinfelder. This exploration 

unearthed an area of relatively concentrated landfill debris primarily 

composed of waste metal, concrete, glass, and minor wood and fabric. Our 

limited exploration indicates that the waste is located in the eastern portion 

of the existing mound. Test pits in on the western side indicated a thin 

layer (typically 1 to 2 feet) of soil with minor debris at the surface, underlain 

by apparent native soil. The concentration of debris encountered in our 

exploration pits indicates that these materials will require disposal offsite, 

in accordance with applicable local, state and federal regulations. The 

depth of impacted soils is in excess of 10 feet, the maximum depth 

obtainable with the backhoe. 

Exploration was also conducted at the location of ongoing 

remediation. Fifteen test pits were excavated at the locations shown on the 

Plate 1 (Pits 18 -32). One disposal trench was discovered at the 

approximate location shown on Plate 1. An elevated concentration of debris 

is present (in locations estimated greater than 50% by weight) which will

require disposal in accordance with our approved workplan. The debris is 

comprised primarily of waste concrete, cinder block, and metal, and is 

present to a depth exceeding 10 feet. The central and southern portion of 

the discovered debris trench has a relatively clean soil overburden ranging 

from 3 to 5 feet in thickness. 

On September 17 and 18, 1991, trenching was conducted to further 

investigate both conditions on the eastern portion of the Project "B" parcel 

and at the landfill remediation site. Trenching was conducted using a 

Caterpillar 235 trackhoe. Three trenches and two additional pits were 

excavated on the "B" parcel at the approximate locations shown on Plate 1. 

Construction debris, primarily comprised of waste asphalt material, was 

encountered in the upper 1 to 4 feet (typically 2 feet thick) the area 

indicated on Plate 1. Underlaying these surficial materials apparently 

undisturbed native soils were encountered at all locations. Field testing of 

soils was conducted at select locations for volatile organic compounds using 

a photoionization detector (PID) and Dreager tube analyses. No volatile 

organic compounds were detected. Samples of the soils which contain 

asphalt debris have been sampled by Kleinfelder for analysis of volatile 

organic compounds and semi-volatile organic compounds using EPA 

Methods 8240 and 8270. Analytical testing should be completed by 

September 25, 1991. 

Preliminary verbal conversations with Doug Martin and Joe Livok of 

the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, and Paul Donald and Bob 

Sack of Washoe County District Health Department (WCDHD) indicate 

that this material may be acceptable as fill material, provided appropriate 

City of Reno fill permits are secured. Upon receipt of laboratory results 

and a summary letter describing the type of debris encountered, WCDHD 

will issue a letter addressing use of this material as onsite fill. 

Additional trenching was also conducted at the landfill remediation 

site at locations shown on Plate 1. The trench previously identified using a 

backhoe was determined to be approximately 15 feet wide, up to 13 feet in 

depth, and extends approximately 120 feet from north to south. Ground 

water was encountered at 16 feet below the existing ground surface. Cross 

trenching encountered native soils in all other explored areas. 

One additional pit (Exploration Pit 12) was excavated on the 

neighboring mound to the northwest to determine the depth of landfill

debris identified in previous backhoe work. This pit encountered relatively 

high density burned refuse to a depth of 15 feet, underlain by apparent 

native soils. The refuse material is composed primarily of metal and glass 

material in ash rich soils.

Re: Silver Lake Business Center, Waste Asphalt Usage in Fill Material 

Dear Mr. Sack: 

As discussed in our conversations of September 24, 1991, Dermody 

Properties would like use asphalt debris in onsite fill at the Silver Lake 

Business Park. This asphalt debris is believed to be remanent of Stead Air 

Force Base operations. The location of this debris is shown on Plate 1. The 

estimated quantity of soils containing asphalt debris is approximately 9,000 

cubic yards. 

Special geotechnical recommendations for use of this material include 

reduction of maximum particle size to approximately 6 inches and placement 

limited to asphalt parking lots or areas of nonstructural fill. In addition, 

guide lines in the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, 

1991, for the City of Reno, which addresses permissible uses of recycled 

asphalt concrete in structural fill, will be applied. 

Kleinfelder has conducted analytical testing of two samples of the 

asphalt material. Two composite samples of soil and asphalt were collected 

from the sidewalls of Trench #I (South Trench) and Trench #2 (North 

Trench). The third sample (NT-2) was obtained from the western end of 

Trench #2. Sample NT-2 appears to be an asphalt cement or liquid asphalt 

substance, similar to a chip seal compound. The asphalt materials were 

encountered in the western most 70 feet of Trench #2. Any soft asphalt 

products will be excluded from any filling operation. Minor concrete and 

other construction type debris were also noted in the western edge of 

Trench #2. The large majority of the debris appears to be asphalt concrete 

paving fragments. 

All samples have been analyzed for volatile organic compounds using 

EPA Method 8240, and semi-volatile organic compounds using EPA Method 

8270. Results of testing are attached hereto. Semi-volatile analyses of both

Re: Silver Lake Business Center Fee Summary and Additional Landfill 

Remediation Estimate 


As requested, we are pleased to present this estimate of probable cost 

for monitoring removal of remaining landfill debris at the Silver Lake 

Business Park, along with a summary of the project budget to this date. 

Our initial work plan was submitted on December 28,1990, and revised 

on January 4, 1991. No estimate of cost was presented due to the unknown 

scope of services which would be required to complete this project. Work 

was to be performed on a time and expense basis in accordance with the 

current fee schedule. 

Two letters with project budget summaries were submitted on May 31, 

1991 and September 16, 1991. In the May 31 letter, fees occurred to that 

date were approximately $13,900.00 and we estimated addition landfill 

removal fees of $4,000.00. The fees to that date included preparation of site 

Health and Safety Plan, coordination with Washoe County District Health 

Department (WCDHD) in securing approval of the work plan and health 

and safety plan, environmental monitoring of excavation activities, laboratory 

testing for hazardous substances, limited geotechnical testing for structural 

fill suitability verification, and engineering costs associated with Highfield 

Change Order No. 1 dated March 13, 1991. 

In our letter dated September 16, 1991, the total project fees were 

$18,593.12 (as of September 7, 1991). Work associated in the fees incurred 

since the May 31 update included: coordination with WCDHD to approve 

use of non screened landfill soils as fill material, engineering services for 2 

Highfield Change Orders dated August 2, 1991, field monitoring of fill

placement as per WCDHD request, and meeting and engineering work 

(grading summary) associated with the initial Union Bank request for 

additional information, dated August 27, 1991. 

Since the last summary of September 16,1991, additional environmental 

and engineering work has been conducted on the 'BB" Parcel to answer 

additional questions from Union Bank. Also, trenching was completed at 

the landfill remediation site to locate remaining debris. A significant 

quantity of additional landfill debris has been identified to the northwest of 

the current remediation area. 

A summary of SEA, Incorporated consulting fees as of September 28, 

1991, are as follows:

TOTAL. ...... 24,428.13 

Total fees as of September 28, 1991, including additional vehicle and 

reimbursable charges is $25,147.72. 

ADDITIONAL LANDFILL REMEDIATION 

Paul Donald has specified that the same approved Work Plan (January 

4, 1991), and Site Health and Safety Plan (March 25, 1991) should be 

applied to remainder of landfill debris removal from this site. The scope of 

work provided in this estimate is based on the above stated knowledge of 

site conditions and scope of environmental monitoring to be conducted 

under the WCDHD approved Work Plan.

The areas which will require further remediation are shown on Plate 1. 

Additional landfill debris has been identified to the northwest of the 

remediation area in the mound which was believed to contain only low 

density debris. A landfill debris trench has also been identified in the area 

of on-going remediation. A majority of the remaining landfill material is 

anticipated to contain debris types and quantities which can be segregated 

by screening. A smaller fraction of the landfill material observed contains 

large percentages of waste concrete and metal. This material probably will 

not be screenable. It is our understanding that the general contractor, 

Highfield Corporation, has proposed to use an 1-112 inch vibrating screen 

to provide better segregation of debris and soil materials than was 

experienced in previous efforts. Waste debris, which is primarily comprised 

of metal, concrete, and glass, will be disposed of in accordance with all 

applicable county, state and federal regulations, at the Eockwood Landfill. 

Screened soils will be used as on-site structural fill provided the materials 

are acceptable from a geotechnical perspective. 

In accordance with the Site Health and Safety Plan, monitoring of 

excavation activities for potentially hazardous materials will be conducted 

by field personnel from our environmental sta Personnel assigned to the , 

project will possess current 29 CFR 1910.120 f Hazardous Materials Safety - 

and Handling training. Monitoring equipment will include: photoionization 

detector, Dreager tubes, exploximeter, radiation detector, Level C protective 

clothing. Staff assigned to complete this additional landfill remediation shall 

remain the same, including Larry J. Johnson as Project Manager, and 

Gregory J. Moss as Environmental Manager. Dwight L. Smith will provide 

environmental field monitoring and observation. 

PROJECT COSTS 

Based upon our most recent exploration, we estimate that 

approximately 20,000 cubic yards of material will need to be removed. Of 

this quantity, we estimate that 5,000 cubic yards will require disposal at 

Lockwood Landfill. Cost of monitoring of excavation activities will be 

dependent on the time required by the contractor to complete this work. 

At the conclusion of this project, a report detailing the conduct of the entire 

landfill remediation project will be prepared for submittal to WCDHD.

All work on this project will be performed on a time and expenses 

basis, in accordance with our current Standard Fee Schedule, a copy of 

which is attached hereto. Based on previous removal work, we estimate 

that 150 man hours of monitoring may be required (1 staff hydrogeologist 

for 3 weeks at 50 hours per week), provided efficient screening processes are 

maintained by the contractor. A break down of anticipated costs are as 

follows: 

Monitoring personnel (150 hours @ $52.50) ...... $7,875.00 

Monitoring equipment (150 hours @ $10.00) ...... $1,500.00 

Project Coordination and Review ............... $1,200.00 

Final Report Preparation ..................... $1,500.00 

Based on the above itemization, the total. estimate of probable costs to 

provide environmental consulting for remediation of the additional landfill 

debris at the Silver Lake Landfill is $12,075.00. This estimate has not taken 

into consideration any laboratory analyses (approximately $1,500.00 for 

previous remedial efforts) or other related costs associated with any 

encountered potentially hazardous substances. As was true in the previous 

landfill removal work, some potentially hazardous substances may be 

encountered that may necessitate more vigilant monitoring, expedited turn- 

around laboratory testing, and possibly hazardous material disposal. 

Because these cost can not be foreseen, they have not been included in this 

cost estimate. 

All terms and conditions stated in our initial proposal dated December 

28, 1990 and revised January 4, 1991, shall remain applicable to this phase 

of the project. Engineering fees associated with additional construction 

administration are not included in this estimate, but will need to be included 

in the appropriate engineering service contract.

RE: Parcel "B" Asphalt Debris 




Washoe County District Health Department (WCDHD) has 

responded to the subject of usage of asphalt debris material in non- 

structural fill. WCDHD has requested that the material be placed above 

the 100-year flood plain, and that applicable City Building requirements be 

met. As stated in our geotechnical letter dated September 24, 1991, the 

material should be reduced to a maximum particle size to approximately 6 

inches. Our estimate of the quantity of soillasphalt concrete material is 

approximately 9,000 cubic yards. 

Approximately 200 to 300 cubic yards of softer asphalt material is 

located in the western end of Trench No. 2 (northern most trench). This 

material is not geotechnically suitable as fill material due to the soft 

consistency. This material which contains some semivolatile compounds as 

indicated by EPA Method 8270 analysis, will need to be disposed of in 

accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. 

WCDHD has indicated that they have no objection to disposed of this softer 

asphalt material at the Lockwood landfill, provided a Washoe County waste 

release is secured and the material is not in a liquid phase. Softer material 

may be encountered in other locations upon excavation of the asphalt 

concrete. Where encountered, this material will need to be segregated and 

included with similar materials to be disposed. 

SEA Project Engineer, Michael DeMartini has indicated that there 

is no location above the 100-year flood plain where this quantity of non- 

structural asphalt material can be used within Silver Lake Business Center. 

Should this be the case, then Dermody Properties will need to secure a 

suitable location for the asphalt concrete fill.

On January 27, 1992, waste asphalt concrete was encountered in an 

interior footing excavation, located 240 feet west and 88 feet north of the 

southeast corner of the Michelin building. This material requires removal 

and replacement with structural fill. The location of this material is within 

the eastern edge of the area previously identified for asphalt removal. The 

exact extent and thickness of the remaining asphalt concrete material is 

unknown, although excavations directly to the north, east, and west did not 

encounter any significant quantities of the asphalt concrete material. The 

asphalt concrete material could be used as structural fill provided it is 

placed within the above the 100-year flood plain, and oversized material is 

removed. Geotechnical recommendations for usage of these materials were 

presented in our letter dated September 24, 1991.

RE: Addition Landfill Debris Along Echo Avenue 




On February 12, 1992, excavation for construction of the sanitary sewer 

line along the northern edge of Echo Avenue encountered two zones of landfill 

debris. The zones are located 170 feet (station 1 +7O) and 285 feet (station 

2+85) east of the center line of Moya Boulevard. The refuse encountered is 

believed to be remanent of dumping in north-south trending trenches. The 

depth to the refuse is approximately 5 to 7 feet below the existing surface of 

Moya Boulevard, and is approximately 2 feet in thickness and 15 to 20 feet in 

width. 

Paul Donald of the Washoe County District Health Department 

(WCDHD) has inspected the refuse encountered, and has indicated that this 

material requires removal and disposal in accordance with current regulatory 

orders and the approved landfill removal work plan for materials located 

directly to the north.

RE: Silver Lake Business Park Landfill Removal 

Dear Mr. bring: 



As discussed in our telephone conversation of February 21, 1992, and 

field meeting of February 25,1992, petroleum contaminated soils have been 

encountered during landfill excavation. Two soil samples were submitted 

to Alpha Analytical for total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) testing (EPA 

Method 8015-Modified) and volatile organic compound testing (EPA 

Method 8240). The sample collected from the area of suspect soils (labeled 

Landfill #2 South Trench) contains a TPH concentration of 12,000 mg/kg 

and no detectable concentrations of volatile organic compounds. An 

additional sample was collected earlier in day to verify field testing (PID 

measurements), from material being encountered in the central eastern area 

of the landfill excavation. This sample is labeled Landfill #2 - 15'. This 

material also contains petroleum hydrocarbons, at a concentration of 420 

mg/kg, and no detectable concentrations of volatile organic compounds. 

The current Washoe County District Health Department (WCDHD) and 

Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) action level for TPH 

is 100 mg/kg. Complete laboratory results are attached hereto. 

Bob Sack and Paul Donald of WCDHD inspected the site on 

February 24, 1992, and concurred with a plan of action to excavate and 

segregate the contaminated soils for appropriate disposal (thermal treatment 

at Nevada Hydrocarbon, Incorporated) in accordance with applicable 

federal, state, and local regulations. Testing for heavy metals (TCLP-7) was 

additionally requested. We were not aware, at the time of the field meeting, 

that additional soils to the northeast also contain petroleum hydrocarbons 

in levels exceeding the action level.

In order to more accurately estimate the quantity of impacted soils 

requiring treatment, additional soil sampling was conducted on February 26, 

1992. A total of twelve soil samples have been submitted to Alpha 

Analytical for TPH (EPA 8015-Modified) testing on all samples and volatile 

organic compound testing (EPA 8240) on two samples. Soil samples from 

prior excavated soils have been included to assess suitability for disposal at 

the Lockwood landfill or use as structural fill material. 

We anticipate receiving analytical results on or before March 6,1992, 

and will immediately forward these results. All excavation and hauling of 

materials from the northwestern landfill site have been stopped until 

analytical results can be reviewed. As discussed, charges for analytical 

testing will be invoiced directly to Derrnody Properties.
