RE: PROPOSAL TO PERFORM A PHASE II ENVIRONMENTAL SITE
ASSESSMENT FOR THE WASTE MANAGEMENT $ FACILITY LOCATED AT
1515-1519 SOUTH FRANKLIN STREET, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA
Dear Mr. Witwer:
The Phase I ESA listed the following recognized environmental conditions (RECs) for the
referenced property:
1. A dry well was identified on the subject property. The dry well can act as a
pathway for hazardous substances to impact the soil and or groundwater
beneath the subject property.
2. The subject property has been utilized as industrial property from prior to 1917 to
current day. A chemical manufacturer and an iron and metal scrap yard were
once located on the subject property. It is likely that large quantities of
hazardous substances have been used and stored on the subject property for at
least 100 years.
Following is a discussion of the work we propose to complete at the site and an estimated cost
to complete the work.

Work Plan
WPI proposes to install a series of ten (10) soil borings utilizing a tuck mounted push-probe
(geoprobe). Soil borings shall extend to groundwater or as deep as logistically possible. Soil
borings shall be installed in field determined locations, primarily focusing on the dry well location
and stockyard area.
A single soil sample shall be collected from each soil boring location and sent to an independent
laboratory for analysis of 8270 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PNAs), 8260+ volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), and EPA 8 metals. A minimum of two groundwater samples shall
also be collected from field determined soil boring locations. Groundwater samples shall also
be analyzed for 8270 PNAs, 8260+ VOCs, and EPA 8 metals.
Soils sha11 be continuously sampled and inspected for visual/olfactory signs of contamination as
well as scanned with a PID. Collected soil samples shall be placed in dedicated laboratory
approved containers, placed on ice, and kept at a constant temperature of approximately 4
degrees Celsius. All equipment shall be decontaminated between each boring. Soil cuttings,
wash water, and purged groundwater shall be containerized in 55-gallon drums which will be left
on-site pending analytical results. This proposal does not include the costs for disposal of any
investigative derived wastes.
Upon completion of the field and laboratory work, a final report shall be prepared for your
review, comment and approval. The report shall include a site plan showing soil boring
locations, soil boring logs showing the classification of the subsurface materials encountered
and conditions of the soil, analytical results, and our findings and conclusions regarding the site.
WPI estimates the Phase II ESA field work and laboratory work can be completed In
approximately three to four weeks assuming all third party contractors are available in the
preferred time frame. Laboratory analysis can be expedited for an additional charge.
