RE: Informal Request for Site Access
3224 Yuma Street
Fort Worth, Texas
HBC/Terracon Project No. 95037060
VCP No. 497
Dear Mr. Breitling,
On behalf of S&B Technical Products (S&B), HBC/Terracon is pleased to submit this Informal
Request for Site Access in conformance with City Code Ch 12.5-145 Informal Request for Sub-
Surface Environmental Sampling. The City property we are requesting access to is a vacant tract of
land at 3224 Yuma Street. We propose to install two permanent monitor wells at the City tract.
History of the release
S&B identified a chlorinated solvent release at 1300 East Berry Street in 1998. It appears that the
historic release was likely associated with the previous site owners use of tetrachloroethene in a
degreaser area at the central portion of the site. The site has been entered into the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) to address soil
and groundwater with chemical concentrations exceeding applicable levels. To date, the source of
the chlorinated solvent plume has been delineated and will be documented in a forthcoming
Affected Property Assessment Report (AFAR) being prepared for the VCP. To complete the
APAR, the VCP requires that the groundwater impacted by the chlorinated solvent be fully
delineated. To complete the required delineation, additional off-site monitoring points will be
required. The chemicals of concern (COCs) include Tetrachloroethene (PCE), Trichloroethene
(TCE), cis 1, 2 Dichlorothene (cis-1,2-DCE), trans 1,2 Dichloroethene (trans-1,2 DCE), Vinyl
Chloride (VC), 1,1 Dichloroethene (1,1-DCE), 1,1 Dichloroethane (1,1-DCA) and 1,2
Dichlororthane (1,2 DCA).
Site Drawing(s) with Sampling Locations
Please find the attached figures depicting the site and adjacent properties, area groundwater flow
direction, the proposed sampling sites and the location of existing monitoring points.

Scope of Assessment
The proposed scope of work is in response to the TCEQ VCP request for an APAR detailing site
investigation results related to both soil and groundwater. The objective of the LSI is to evaluate
selected soil and groundwater samples for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) both on and off site.
Six total soil borings will be advanced (two of which are on City of Fort Worth property) using a
truck-mounted drilling rig equipped with hollow-stem augers (HSAs) or a direct push rig. The soil
borings will be installed in apparent downgradient relationships from the chlorinated solvent plume
identified on site to aid in delineation efforts. The subcontracted drilling services will be supervised
by a licensed monitoring well driller. The soil borings will be advanced to a maximum depth of
approximately 25 feet below grade surface (bgs), refusal, or five feet below the initial water table,
whichever occurs first. Drilling equipment will be cleaned using a high-pressure washer prior to
beginning the project and between soil borings. Non-dedicated sampling equipment will be cleaned
using an Alconox® detergent wash and potable water rinse prior to commencement of the project
and between collection of each sample.
Soil samples will be collected continuously using hand auger equipment, Shelby tubes, core barrels,
acetate sleeves or split spoon samplers to document lithology, color and relative moisture content.
In addition, the samples will be field screened using sensory methods and a photoionization
detector (PID) to detect the presence of VOCs.
The six soil borings advanced on and off site will be converted to permanent groundwater
monitoring wells to evaluate on-site groundwater within the assessment area. The monitoring well
will be generally be constructed as follows:
• Installation of 10 to 15 feet of 2-inch diameter, 0.010-inch machine slotted PVC well screen
with a threaded bottom cap;
• Installation of 2-inch diameter, threaded, flush-joint PVC riser pipe to surface;
• Addition of pre-sieved 20/40 grade silica sand for annular sand pack around the well screen
from the bottom of the boring to approximately 2 feet above the top of the well screen;
• Placement of 2 feet of hydrated bentonite pellets above the sand pack;
• Addition of cement/bentonite slurry to the surface; and,
• Installation of a circular, bolt-down, steel, monitoring well cover with a locking well cap
inset in a flush-mount or above-grade completion, concrete well pad.
The monitoring wells will be developed by surging and removing groundwater until fluids appear
relatively free of fine-grained sediment. Drill cuttings and development groundwater will be stored
at S&B temporarily on-site in labeled 55-gallon drums pending the results of the laboratory
analyses. The drum labels will identify the apparent contents of the drum and the initial

accumulation date.
Following development of the monitoring wells and prior to groundwater sample collection, each well will
be purged with a new disposable bailer or low-flow sampling equipment. Each monitoring well will be
purged of a minimum of three well casing volumes of groundwater, until the monitoring well formation fails
to recharge, (i.e., well runs dry) or consistent values (i.e., less than 10% variance between consecutive
readings) are obtained for pH, temperature and conductivity. Subsequent to sufficient recharge,
one groundwater sample will be collected from each monitoring well utilizing a new, disposable,
polypropylene bailer.
HBC/Terracon's soil and groundwater sampling program will consist of the following:
• Collection of one groundwater sample from each new groundwater monitoring well using a
new, disposable bailer and/or low flow equipment;
• Collection of one soil sample from the surface, the zone exhibiting the highest concentration of
volatile organic compounds based on visual, olfactory or OVM evidence, from the bottom of
observed fill material, from the capillary fringe zone, from a change in lithology and/or from
the bottom of the boring; and
• Collection of one water quality control (QC) field blank that will be analyzed for VOCs to
verify sample integrity during collection and transit.
The groundwater sample will be collected and placed in laboratory prepared containers, labeled,
and placed on ice in a cooler which will be secured with a custody seal. The sample and completed
chain-of-custody forms will be transported to the selected analytical laboratory for normal
turnaround (5 to 7 days).
Selected soil and groundwater samples collected from the soil borings/monitor wells will be
analyzed for VOCs using EPA SW-846 Method 8260B. Additionally, a Quality Assurance/Quality
Control (QA/QC) field blank will be analyzed for VOCs using EPA SW-846 Method 8260B.
Upon completion of site activities and receipt of the laboratory analytical results, the results of this
investigation will be included in the forthcoming APAR.

Dear Dr Hirst:
The;VCP of the Texas Conunission on Environmental Quality gCLQ)has reviewed the August 3l,
2004 proposed revisions to the VCP Agreement Schedule submittal prepared by HBC Terracon. The
VCP concttrs with the proposed development of an interim response action to address on-site
affected soils; however, the VCP cannot approve the Agreement Schedule as proposed, since it
appears to indefinitely postpone assessment of the groundwater Protective Concentration Level
Exceedence Zone.Furthermore,the proposed Affected Properly Assessment Report(APAR)appears
to be limited to soil assessment only. Thercfore, the VCP requests that you prepare a revised
Agreement Schedule which includes a submittal date for an APAR which will document compliance
with the 'Texas Risk Reduction Program affected property assessment requirements of 30 Texas
Administrative Code 350.51-55. Please contact me if assistance is needed in gaining access to off-
site
ffsite properties.
Please provide the revised VCP Agreement Schedule within 30 days of the date of this letter.Should
you need additional information or wish to discuss these comments or due date, please call me al

RE: Formal Request for Site Access
3224 Yuma Street
Fort Worth,Texas
HBC/Terracon Project No. 95037060
VCP No. 497
Dear Mr. Breitling,
On behalf of S&B Technical Products (S&B), HBC/Terracon is pleased to submit seven (7) copies of this
Formal Request for Site Access in conformance with City Code Ch. 12.5-146 Formal Request for Sub-
Surface Environmental Sampling. The City property we are requesting access to is a vacant tract of land at
3224 Yuma Street. The Informal Request for Sub-Surface Environmental Sampling was submitted to the
City on September 17, 2004. We propose to install two permanent monitor wells at the City tract. The
proposed scope of work is in response to the TCEQ VCP request to sample soil and groundwater at the
above-referenced property.
Contacted Utilities
HBC/Terracon contacted the Texas Excavation Safety System (TESS) concerning the proposed
environmental drilling event. TESS is the notification representative service for over 400
utilities/commercial services/municipalities. TXU Electric (and affiliated utilities- i.e. Lone Star Gas),
Southwestern Bell, and other local cable, fiber optic and petroleum services are included in the TESS
notification system. Additionally, HBC/Terracon contacted the City of Fort Worth Engineering Department
concerning the installation of monitor wells at the above-referenced site.
Proposed Activities Activities
Please refer to the attached Figure 1: Proposed Monitor Well Location for the monitor well location
information. As noted on the attached figure, there are no structures located within 100' of the proposed
well locations. Figure 1 provides information concerning the City property and improvements within 100' of
the proposed well locations. City utility maps have also bee attached for the site.
Two soil borings will be advanced on City of Fort Worth property using a truck-mounted drilling rig
equipped with hollow-stem augers (HSAs) or a direct push rig. The soil borings will be installed in apparent
downgradient relationships from the chlorinated solvent plume identified on site to aid in delineation efforts.
The subcontracted drilling services will be supervised by a licensed monitoring well driller (Company: SCI.
Inc.). The soil borings will be advanced to a maximum depth of approximately 25 feet below grade surface
(bgs), refusal, or five feet below the initial water table, whichever occurs first.
Soil samples will be collected continuously using hand auger equipment, Shelby tubes, core barrels, acetate
sleeves or split spoon samplers to document lithology, color and relative moisture content. In addition, the

samples will be field screened using sensory methods and a photoionization detector (PID) to detect the
presence of VOCs.
The two soil borings will be converted to permanent groundwater monitoring wells to evaluate on-site
groundwater within the assessment area. The monitoring well will be generally be constructed as follows:
• Installation of 10 to 15 feet of 2-inch diameter,0.010-inch machine slotted PVC well screen with a
threaded bottom cap;
• Installation of 2-inch diameter, threaded,flush joint PVC riser pipe to surface;
• Addition of pre-sieved 20/40 grade silica sand for annular sand pack around the well screen from the
bottom of the boring to approximately 2 feet above the top of the well screen;
• Placement of 2 feet of hydrated bentonite pellets above the sand pack;
• Addition of cement/bentonite slurry to the surface; and,
• Installation of a circular, bolt-down, steel, monitoring well cover with a locking well cap inset in a
flush-mount concrete well pad.
HBC/Terracon's soil and groundwater sampling program will consist of the following:
• Collection of one groundwater sample from each new groundwater monitoring well using a new,
disposable bailer and/or low flow equipment;
• Collection of one soil sample from the surface, the zone exhibiting the highest concentration of
volatile organic compounds based on visual, olfactory or OVM evidence,from the bottom of
observed fill material, from the capillary fringe zone, from a change in lithology and/or from the
bottom of the boring; and
The proposed installation event will be concluded in one day (9am to Spm) and will not require barricading
of City streets. It is proposed to install the monitor wells and conduct sampling activities in October 2004.
Additional monitoring may be required by the TCEQ. Upon completion of required monitoring, the wells
will be plugged and abandoned in accordance with State requirements which includes removing the well
components and backfilling the borehole with grout and/or bentonite clay.

Fort Worth, Texas
HBCITerracon Project No. 95037060
VCP No. 497
Dear Mr. Breitling,
On behalf of S&B Technical Products (S&B), HBC/Terracon is pleased to submit this Informal
Request for Site Access in conformance with City Code Ch 12.5-145 Informal Request for Sub-
Surface Environmental Sampling. The City property we are requesting access to is a vacant tract of
land at 3224 Yuma Street. We propose to install two permanent monitor wells at the City tract.
History of the release
S&B identified a chlorinated solvent release at 1300 East Berry Street in 1998. It appears that the
historic release was likely associated with the previous site owners use of tetrachloroethene in a
degreaser area at the central portion of the site. The site has been entered into the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCP) to address soil
and groundwater with chemical concentrations exceeding applicable levels. To date, the source of
the chlorinated solvent plume has been delineated and will be documented in a forthcoming
Affected Property Assessment Report (APAR) being prepared for the VCP. To complete the
APAR, the VCP requires that the groundwater impacted by the chlorinated solvent be fully
delineated. To complete the required delineation, additional off-site monitoring points will be
required. The chemicals of concern (CDCs) include Tetrachloroethene (PCE), Trichloroethene
(TCE), cis 1, 2 Dichlorothene (cis-1,2-DCE), trans 1,2 Dichloroethene (trans-1,2 DCE), Vinyl
Chloride (VC), 1,1 Dichloroethene (1,1-DCE), 1,1 Dichloroethane (1,1-DCA) and 1,2
Dichlororthane (1,2 DCA).

Scope of Assessment
The proposed scope of work is in response to the TCEQ VCP request for an APAR detailing site
investigation results related to both soil and groundwater. The objective of the LSI is to evaluate
selected soil and groundwater samples for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) both on and off site.
Six total soil borings will be advanced (two of which are on City of Fort Worth property) using a
truck-mounted drilling rig equipped with hollow-stem augers (HSAs) or a direct push rig. The soil
borings will be installed in apparent downgradient relationships from the chlorinated solvent plume
identified on site to aid in delineation efforts. The subcontracted drilling services will be supervised
by a licensed monitoring well driller. The soil borings will be advanced to a maximum depth of
approximately 25 feet below grade surface (bgs), refusal, or five feet below the initial water table,
whichever occurs first. Drilling equipment will be cleaned using a high-pressure washer prior to
beginning the project and between soil borings. Non-dedicated sampling equipment will be cleaned
using an Alconoxo detergent wash and potable water rinse prior to commencement of the project
and between collection of each sample.
Soil samples will be collected continuously using hand auger equipment, Shelby tubes, core barrels,
acetate sleeves or split spoon samplers to document lithology, color and relative moisture content.
In addition, the samples will be field screened using sensory methods and a photoionization
detector(PID) to detect the presence of VOCs.
The six soil borings advanced on and off site will be converted to permanent groundwater
monitoring wells to evaluate on-site groundwater within the assessment area. The monitoring well
will be generally be constructed as follows:
• Installation of 10 to 15 feet of 2-inch diameter, 0.010-inch machine slotted PVC well screen
with a threaded bottom cap;
• Installation of 2-inch diameter, threaded, flush joint PVC riser pipe to surface;
• Addition of pre-sieved 20/40 grade silica sand for annular sand pack around the well screen
from the bottom of the boring to approximately 2 feet above the top of the well screen;
• Placement of 2 feet of hydrated bentonite pellets above the sand pack;
• Addition of cementlbentonite slurry to the surface; and,
• Installation of a circular, bolt-down, steel, monitoring well cover with a locking well cap
inset in a flush-mount or above-grade completion, concrete well pad.
The monitoring wells will be developed by surging and removing groundwater until fluids appear
relatively free of fine-grained sediment. Drill cuttings and development groundwater will be stored
at S&B temporarily on-site in labeled 55-gallon drums pending the results of the laboratory_
analyses. The drum labels will identify the apparent contents of the drum nd the initial

accumulation date.
Following development of the monitoring wells and prior to groundwater sample collection, each well will
be purged with a new disposable bailer or low-flow sampling equipment. Each monitoring well will be
purged of a minimum of three well casing volumes of groundwater, until the monitoring well formation fails
to recharge, (i.e., well runs dry) or consistent values (i.e., less than 10910 variance between consecutive
readings) are obtained for pH, temperature and conductivity. Subsequent to sufficient recharge,
one groundwater sample will be collected from each monitoring well utilizing a new, disposable,
polypropylene bailer.
BBC/Terracon's soil and groundwater sampling program will consist of the following:
• Collection of one groundwater sample from each new groundwater monitoring well using a
new, disposable bailer and/or low flow equipment;
• Collection of one soil sample from the surface, the zone exhibiting the highest concentration of
volatile organic compounds based on visual, olfactory or OVM evidence, from the bottom of
observed fill material, from the capillary fringe zone, from a change in lithology and/or from
the bottom of the boring; and
• Collection of one water quality control (QC) field blank that will be analyzed for VOCs to
verify sample integrity during collection and transit.
The groundwater sample will be collected and placed in laboratory prepared containers, labeled,
and placed on ice in a cooler which will be secured with a custody seal. The sample and completed
chain-of-custody forms will be transported to the selected analytical laboratory for normal
turnaround (5 to 7 days).
Selected soil and groundwater samples collected from the soil borings/monitor wells will be
analyzed for VOCs using EPA SW-846 Method 8260B. Additionally, a Quality Assurance/Quality
Control (QA/QC) field blank will be analyzed for VOCs using EPA SW-846 Method 8260B.
Upon completion of site activities and receipt of the laboratory analytical results, the results of this
investigation will be included in the forthcoming APAR.

Re: S&B Technical Products, 1300 East BerryStreet,Fort Worth,Tarrant Cottnty,TX;Voluntary
Cleanup Program (VCP)No. 497
Dear Dr Hirst:
The VCP of the'fexas Conunission on Environmental Quality(TCEQ)has reviewed the August 31,
2004 proposed revisions to the VCP Agreement Schedule submittal prepared by HBC Terraeon. The
VCP concurs with the proposed development of an interim response action to address on-site
affected soils; however, the VCP cannot approve the Agreement Schedule as proposed, since it
appears to indefinitely postpone assessment of the groundwater Protective Concentration Level
Exceedence Zone.Furthermore,the proposed Affected Property Assessment Report(APAR)appears
to be limited to soil assessment only. Therefore, the VCP requests that you prepare a revised
Agreement Schedule which includes a submitial date for an APAR which will document compliance
with the Texas Risk Reduction Program affected property assessment requirements of 30 Texas
Administrative Code 350.51-55, Please contact me if assistance is needed in gaining access to off
site properties.
Please provide the revised VCP Agreement Schedule within 30 days of the date of this letter.Should
you need additional information or wish to discuss these comments or due date, please call me at
(512) 239-1787-
Sincerely,
Richard Scharlach, Project Manager
