Re: Proposal Addendum - Soil Remediation
Property B - 901-927 Cleveland Street
Clearwater, Florida
Dear Mr. Ballogg:
1.0 INTRODUCTION
URS Corporation (URS) is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Clearwater, which presents
the scope of work for environmental services to be performed at the above-referenced property.
Specifically, this proposal includes the tasks, schedule and estimated fee for soil remediation. This
proposal is submitted in response to your recent request and the analytical results of soil samples
collected in hydraulic lift areas HL-l and HL-5 and the former oil/water separator (OWS) at the
former car wash area.
2.0 BACKGROUND
In June 2000, twelve hydraulic lifts were removed from the subject property prior to site demolition.
One hydraulic lift (HL-l) was located south of the auto repair facility. Five hydraulic lifts (HL-2
through HL-6) were located in the Honka Automotive area and six hydraulic lifts (HL-7 through
HL-12) were located in the Caseber furniture warehouse area.
Visibly contaminated soil was observed in the area surrounding hydraulic lift HL-l. A minor
amount of visibly impacted soil was observed in the area surrounding hydraulic lift HL-5. Visibly
impacted soil was not observed at the remaining hydraulic lift areas. On September 14, 2000,
approximately 300 cubic yards of soil was removed from the hydraulic lift areas HL-l and HL-5.
Post-excavation confirmation soil sampling indicated that a soil sample collected at hydraulic lift
HL-l contained concentrations of total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH), benzo (a)
pyrene, I-methylnaphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene and naphthalene at concentrations that exceeded
residential direct exposure or leachability soil cleanup target levels as established in Chapter 62-777,
Florida Administrative Code (FAC). Confirmation soil samples collected at hydraulic lift HL-5
contained benzo (a) pyrene at concentrations that slightly exceeded the residential direct exposure
soil cleanup target level of 0.1 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg).

Supplemental soil delineation was performed at the two excavation areas (HL-l and HL-5) from
October 2000 to February 2001. Based on the analytical results obtained during these soil
delineation activities, the lateral extent of impacted soil at both areas have been adequately
delineated.
URS subsequently prepared a combined Site Assessment and Remedial Action Plan (SAJRAP) for
Property B dated April 2001. This document included a detailed summary of previous site
assessment activities, a summary of interim removal activities and supplemental soil delineation
activities. This document also included the proposed remedial action to address impacted soil at
excavation areas HL-l and HL-5. The SAJRAP was prepared in conjunction with a Brownfield Site
Rehabilitation Agreement (BSRA) between the City of Clearwater and the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP). The SAJRAP has been submitted to the FDEP for review and
approval.
The scope of work and cost estimate, presented in this proposal, are based upon the SA/RAP that
was submitted to the FDEP. If the FDEP modifies the scope of work provided in this proposal, an
addendum to the cost estimate will be provided to the City of Clearwater.
The FDEP has provided initial comments to the SA/RAP. The FDEP required the collection of
additional soil samples at the former OWS located south of the former car wash building, which was
located in the south central portion of the subject property, east of the former Honka Automotive.
URS completed the collection of soil samples in this area on May 31, 2001. Soil samples were
collected at four locations (OWS-l through OWS-4) from the surface to four feet below land surface
at two-foot intervals and surveyed in the field using and Organic Vapor Analyzer (OVA). The OVA
readings were below background in all samples except for the soil sample collected at OWS-l at a
depth of 2 feet to 3.5 feet. This sample had an adjusted OVA (unfiltered reading minus the charcoal
filtered reading) value of 2 parts per million (ppm). Based on the OVA response, two soil samples
(surface to 2 feet and then 2 feet to 3.5 feet) were collected at the OWS-l location. The samples
were analyzed for volatile organic compounds by EP A Method 8260, semi-volatile organic
compounds by EPA Method 8270 and the eight RCRA metals. Benzo(a)pyrene was detected at a
concentration of 0.38 milligrams per kilogram (mglkg) in the 0 foot to 2-foot sample, which is above
the Residential criteria of 0.1 mg/kg. Arsenic was detected at a concentration of 5.2 mg/kg in the
2 foot to 3.5-foot sample, which is above the residential criteria of 0.8 mg/kg.
From June 2001 to October 2001, URS collected additional soil samples across the entire property.
Soil samples were collected at 130 locations on the subject property. Soil samples were collected
at 80 locations at the southern portion of the property and soil samples were collected at 50 locations
at the northern portion of the property. In August 2001, URS prepared a Summary Report of
Supplemental Soil Delineation Activities, which presented the results of assessment activities
conducted from June 2001 to July 2001.

Concurrent with supplemental soil delineation activities, a risk assessment was conducted by
Hazardous Substance & Waste Management Research, Inc., (HSWMR). The primary focus of the
risk assessment was to develop risk-based soil cleanup target levels for arsenic. Based on the
findings presented in the draft Focused Risk Assessment Report prepared by HSWMR in October
2001, a risk-based soil cleanup target level of 2.8 mg/kg was developed for residential land use.
Although a risk-based soil cleanup target level of 2.8 mg/kg for residential land use was proposed
in the Focused Risk Assessment Report, it has been agreed that a more conservative risk-based
residential soil cleanup level of 1.4 mg/kg will be used. The selection of this conservative value was
based on the preference to minimize the potential for deed restrictions with respect to exposure to
soil. In addition, the lower value of 1.4 mg/kg is proposed since the FDEP has not yet approved the
proposed risk-based soil cleanup criteria of 2.8 mg/kg.
Given these parameters, URS has delineated the extent of impacted soil on the subject property.
Areas of impacted soil are depicted on Figure 1, which is attached. URS has estimated the amount
of soil that will require removal at the subject property and associated costs. These estimates are
provided in Table A, which is attached. This table also presents several options for soil removal in
the northern portion of the property. Our calculations indicate that approximately 6,190 cubic
yards/9,290 tons of soil in the southern portion of the site will require removal. The amount of soil
that will require removal at the northern portion of the site will vary from 1,055 cubic yards/l,585
tons to 1,940 cubic yards/2,91O tons.
3.0 WORK ACTIVITIES
The City of Clearwater has indicated that funds in the amount of $400,000 are available to perform
soil removal activities. The City of Clearwater has requested that URS develop a scope of work to
remove as much soil as possible with available funds. URS has prepared a scope of work that
provides two alternatives. The first alternative includes the excavation, transport and disposal of soil
without providing backfill material. The second alternative includes backfill material and associated
placement and compaction. Based upon the available funds and estimated quantities of soil, only
the impacted soils in the southern half of the subject property will be excavated. Excavation of soil
in the northern half of the site and soil underlying Park Street to the south is not included. In
addition, these alternatives do not include the removal of peat below four feet.
Based on this monetary limit, URS estimates that approximately 85 % of soil in the southern portion
of the property (5,250 cubic yardsl7 ,875 tons) could be removed if no backfill material is provided
(see Section 3.2.1, Alternative No.1). The limits of excavation, based on this alternative is provided
in Figure 2. URS estimates that approximately 73 % of soil in the southern portion of the property
(4,500 cubic yards/6,750 tons) could be removed if backfill material is provided (see Section 3.2.2,
Alternative No.2). The limits of excavation, based on this second alternative is provided in Figure
3.

3.1 PROJECT MANAGEMENT
URS will assemble the appropriate project team to conduct the scope of work outlined herein. This
task includes project management, which consists of project planning, preparation and contracting
with the selected site contractor and laboratory. In addition, as required by the State of Florida, URS
will contact the local agency for underground utility clearance.
3.2 SOIL REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
3.2.1 Alternative No.1
Approximately 5,250 cubic yardsl7,875 tons of soil will be removed from the southern portion of
the property. The limits of excavation are shown in Figure 2. Soil will be excavated and loaded
directly onto trucks that will transport this material to a thermal treatment facility. If it is necessary
to stockpile soil, the material will be placed on and completely covered with visqueen on site.
Prior to excavation activities, soil samples will be collected for pre-bum analysis. Based on the
amount of soil that will be removed and in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 62-713,
FAC, 14 soil samples will be collected for pre-bum analysis. Soil samples will be collected within
the limits of the area to be excavated. The soil samples will be forwarded to a certified laboratory
and analyzed for volatile organic halocarbons (EP A Method 8260), polychlorinated biphenyls (EP A
Method 8082), total organic halogens (EPA Method 9023), TRPH using the FL-PRO method,
arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead. Approval of this material by a thermal treatment facility will
be secured prior to excavating activities.
3.2.2 Alternative No.2
Approximately 4,500 cubic yards/6,750 tons of soil will be removed from the southern portion of
the property. The limits of excavation are shown in Figure 3. Soil will be excavated and loaded
directly onto trucks that will transport this material to a thermal treatment facility. If it is necessary
to stockpile soil, the material will be placed on and completely covered with visqueen on site.
Prior to excavation activities, soil samples will be collected for pre-bum analysis. Based on the
amount of soil that will be removed and in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 62-713,
FAC, 13 soil samples will be collected for pre-bum analysis. Soil samples will be collected within
the limits of the area to be excavated. The soil samples will be forwarded to a certified laboratory
and analyzed for volatile organic halocarbons (EP A Method 8260), polychlorinated biphenyls (EP A
Method 8082), total organic halogens (EPA Method 9023), TRPH using the FL-PRO method,
arsenic, cadmium, chromium, and lead. Approval of this material by a thermal treatment facility will
be secured prior to excavating activities.

Following receipt of confirmation soil sample analytical results (see Section 4.3), the excavated areas
will be filled with clean soil in 12-inch lifts above the water table and compacted to 95% of the
modified Proctor.
3.3 SITE CONTROL AND SURVEYING
Prior to excavation activities, a chain link fence will be installed around the perimeter of property
to provided site control. In addition, a certified surveyor will survey surface elevations and establish
coordinates of the excavation limits to obtain a base map of the excavation area of the southern
portion of the subject property. Spot elevations will also be obtained within the area of excavation.
These spot elevations will be used to establish vertical control for soil removal activities.
3.4 CONFIRMA TION SOIL SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
Since the delineation of soil removal will predominantly lie along the lines of samples already
showing no detectable contamination, sidewall confirmation soil samples will be limited to the
northwest portion of excavation area (i.e., the area north of sample locations G-I through G-5) as
shown on the attached figures. Sidewall confirmation samples will not be collected in the other
areas. Confirmation soil samples will be collected from the bottom of the excavation that extends
to a depth of four feet below land surface. For the purposes of this proposal, URS assumes that a
total of 20 confirmation soil samples will be collected.
Soil samples will be placed in laboratory-supplied containers. The containers will be labeled and
immediately placed in an ice-filled cooler. Chain-of-Custody forms will be completed following
sample collection. The samples will be forwarded to a certified laboratory and analyzed for
polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (EPA Method 8270) and arsenic.
3.5 CONFIRMA TION GROUNDWATER SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS
Although groundwater samples have been collected in the vicinity of excavation areas HL-I, HL-5
and OWS areas, confirmation groundwater samples will be collected following the eventual
placement of clean fill. A monitor well will be installed in the vicinity of hydraulic lift HL- I and
a monitor well will be installed in the vicinity of hydraulic lift HL-5. In addition, a monitor well will
be installed in the central are of the OWS excavation area.
These monitor wells will be installed to a depth of approximately 13 feet below land surface using
a drill rig equipped with hollow stem augers. The monitor wells will be constructed of two-inch
diameter Schedule 40 PVC casing with ten feet of O.OI-inch slotted Schedule 40 PVC screen. The
annulus of each well will be backfilled with standard silica sand (gradation 20/30) to approximately
1.5 feet above the screen, followed by a one foot fine sand seal (gradation 30/65). Neat cement will
be used to fill the remaining well annulus to ground surface. The monitor wells will be provided
with concrete pads, flush-mounted manhole covers and sealed with locking caps. The wells will be

developed until the discharge is relatively clear and free from fine sand sediments. Development
water and soil generated during well installation will be contained in 55-gallon drums.
The newly installed monitor wells will be allowed to equilibrate for a minimum of 72 hours
following installation and development. Following equilibration of the wells, groundwater samples
will be collected. Prior to sampling, each monitor well will be purged with a peristaltic pump of a
minimum of three well casing volumes. During purging, measurements of temperature,
conductivity, and pH will be made for each well casing volume. Upon stabilization of the field
parameters, or after purging five well casing volumes, the wells will be sampled. The groundwater
samples will be collected using dedicated, laboratory-supplied teflon bailers.
The groundwater samples will be placed in laboratory-supplied containers. The containers will be
sealed, labeled, and immediately placed in an ice-filled cooler. A Chain-of-Custody form will be
completed and the samples will be delivered to a certified laboratory for analysis. The groundwater
samples will be analyzed for polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (EP A Method 8270) and TRPH
using the FL-PRO method. For quality assurance purposes, a pre-cleaned equipment blank will be
collected and analyzed for the parameters listed above. The groundwater samples collected in the
OWS area will also be analyzed for total and dissolved arsenic.
3.6 DA T A EV ALUA TION AND REPORTING
Upon completion of the activities described in Sections 3.2 through 3.5, URS will prepare a
Remediation Status Report. This report will include a summary of field activities, an evaluation of
analytical results, conclusions, and recommendations. This report will also include copies of
manifests and certificates of disposal for excavated soil. This report will be signed and sealed by
a professional geologist or engineer.
3.6 MEETINGS
URS will attend meetings to provide technical assistance to the City of Clearwater. For the purposes
of this proposal, URS will assume that four meetings will be required.
4.0 SCHEDULE
URS will mobilize to the site upon receipt of written authorization to proceed. Soil removal and/or
backfill activities are estimated to require four to five weeks. Monitor wells will be installed within
one to two working days following placement of backfill. The Remediation Status Report will be
provided three to four weeks following receipt of all laboratory results and disposal records.

interim soil removal activities and the specifics of confirmation sampling and analysis. The City of
Clearwater should understand that soil removal activities are likely to proceed prior to approval of
the Interim Source Removal Plan by the FDEP.
