The purpose of this document is to establish the Scope of Work as we understand it and to provide a fee schedule for the project. The Site, known as Ignition Park, and formerly known as the Studebaker manufacturing complex, is enrolled in the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) Voluntary Remediation Program (VRP) as VRP Site #6020803. As groundwater has not been sampled from portions of the Site since 2006 (and from the majority of the Site since 2003, updated on- Site delineation of chemicals of concern (COCs) in groundwater is necessary prior to installation of a permanent monitoring well network, and prior to preparation of a Remediation Work Plan (RWP), which is a necessary milestone of the VRP toward closure of the Site. Hull understands that a comprehensive RWP addressing impacts to soil and groundwater beneath, and downgradient of, the Site is due June 30, 2012. The Scope of Work as proposed herein will be implemented quickly to allow for subsequent tasks to be completed timely towards completion of the RWP by June 30, 2012. Task 1 Groundwater Sampling Event Hull will install temporary groundwater sampling points at or in the vicinity of the sampling locations shown on Figure 1, as discussed below. The proposed sampling points correspond to areas where prior or known existing impacts to soil and /or groundwater have been identified during the various stages of assessment, remediation, and demolition activities that have been completed at the Site. Note that the sampling locations may be adjusted based on conditions encountered in the field such as access to rights -of -way, other ongoing construction activities, utilities, etc. Prior to the installation of temporary sampling points, Hull will retain the services of Wightman- 6435 Castleway West Drive, Suite 119 • Indianapolis, Indiana 46250 800.241.7173 fax 614.793.9070 www.hullinc.com
