Clean-up of contaminated soil and property shall be in accordance with state, federal or local
regulations as follows:
g:ordinance/1756/jmm/l 1/30/95 13
331.7
1. 1 st Clean-Up Criteria. Soils sampled during site assessments that fail
California Assessment Manual (CAM) criteria for hazardous waste will be
excavated and
disposed of at a proper disposal site. Laboratory tests used in this
determination are pH (EPA-9045), CAM Metals (total), and Volatile
Chlorinated and Aromatic Hydrocarbons (EPA-8240) as described in item 6
below, Site Assessment and Laboratory Specifications.
2. 2nd Clean-Up Criteria. Comparison of the total petroleum hydrocarbons
(TPH) concentration in soils sampled during the site assessment shall be made
with the screening criteria in 8001.5.2.5 Table 1. If the sample results meet the
Table 1 criteria, no further testing or remediation work will be required.
If the TPH exceeds the screening criteria, the laboratory will perform the
additional analyses specified (EPA-8020, EPA-8270). Further delineation of
the contaminated soil through use of additional borings, additional trenches or
by excavation and stockpiling must be performed to determine the lateral and
vertical extent of soil
exceeding Table 1 criteria. Samples obtained during this delineation will be
analyzed for screening criteria listed in Table 1 (EPA-418.1 and EPA-8015). If
sample results exceed the screening criteria in Table 1, the laboratory shall be
instructed to run the analyses specified in 8001.5.2.5 Table 2 (EPA-8020,
EPA-8270) unless the applicant chooses to excavate the contaminated soil to
meet criteria in Table 1 without proceeding to further analyses specified in
Table 2. Soils which contain less than the screening levels specified in Table 2
shall not be required to undergo soil remediation provided that EPA 418.1 and
EPA 8015M Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon concentrations are less than 100%
excess of Table 1 screening criteria levels.
3. Depth of Contaminated Soil Removal. Soil contamination in excess of the
8001.5.2.5 Tables 1 and 2 criteria extending deeper than twenty (20) feet
below ultimate finished grade or within five (5) feet of the groundwater table,
whichever is shallower, and not exhibiting characteristics of material
considered hazardous for disposal purposes may be considered for non-
remediation. Approval for non-remediation shall be by certification of the Fire
Department and shall be issued with appropriate findings. The lateral and
vertical extent of this contaminated material left in place shall be determined
using Table 1 criteria. This extent shall be reported to the City and disclosed
to subsequent property owners in a format approved by the Fire Department.
Surface structures within one hundred (100) feet of the lateral extent of the
contaminated soil shall be built with vapor barriers in accordance with
applicable City specifications.
4. Disposition of Stockpiled Soil. Soil that is stockpiled on site as a result of
criteria applied above can be evaluated for reuse on site. The reuse options
may include, but are not limited to, on site remediation and resampling to meet the criteria in 8001.5.2.5 Table 1 and/or 2 or reuse of the soil as road subgrade
where applicable. Specifications for reuse of crude oil contaminated soil as
road subgrade are identified in item 7 below.
g:ordinance/1756Ijmm/11/30/95 14
3317
Soil that is planned for reuse on site should be sampled at a frequency
sufficient to adequately characterize the degree and composition of the
contamination. A sampling plan shall be submitted to the Fire Department for
approval prior to reuse.
5. On Site Remediation. Soil can be remediated on site as long as it does not
exhibit any characteristics of material considered hazardous for disposal
purposes. On site remediation must comply with all applicable state, county,
federal and city regulations. Remediation activities shall be performed within a
designated area. A remediation plan shall be approved by the Fire Department.
After soil is remediated and reused, the surface of the designated remediation
area shall be tested in accordance with provisions identified herein above. A
testing plan shall be submitted to the Fire Department for approval as well as a
final report which shall summarize the remediation efforts and post remediation
test results.
6. Site Assessment and Laboratory Specifications. Analyses performed during
site assessments of oil fields (other industrial or agricultural uses may require
additional analysis) should include pH (EPA-9045), CAM Metals (total only, soluble if
total exceeds ten times (STLC), Volatile Hydrocarbons (EPA-8240), Total
Recoverable Hydrocarbons (EPA-418.1), Total Fuel Hydrocarbons (EPA-8015),
Semi-Volatile Organics (EPA-8270) and Polychlorinated Biphenyls (EPA-8080).
Vertical limits of hydrocarbon contamination shall be assessed. Sampling shall
extend to a depth sufficient to identify at least five (5') feet of uncontaminated
soil or to a depth not greater than five (5') feet above the water table in cases
where regional groundwater will be impacted by sampling operations.
If the landowner chooses to clean-up the site using screening criteria specified
in 8001.5.2.5 Table 2, the laboratory analytical work may specify the reanalysis
of samples exceeding screening criteria specified in 8001.5.2.5 Table 1. The
shelf life for the samples must not be exceeded when the reanalyses are run.
The laboratory contract shall specify use of EPA Method 3630 as a clean-up
procedure prior to soil analysis for CAPNA's using EPA-8270 if the 418.1
results show greater than 1,000 ppm.
Samples representative of a specific site should be obtained consistent with a
Phase I historical review of the site, The sampling frequency will vary
depending on potential for on site contamination. Sampling should be targeted
at identified or suspected contaminated locations on the site.
Sampling of areas not suspected to be contaminated shall be done on a random
basis according to a Sampling Plan which shall be approved by the Fire
Department.
The Sampling Protocol, both in terms of site specific targets and other random -
sampling should be formulated in cooperation with the Fire Department. The
burden of demonstrating soil cleanup to established limits of contamination
shall be the responsibility of the land owner. The Fire Department's approval
of a Sampling Protocol shall be required.
g:ordinance/1755/jmm/11/30/95 15

3317
A Site Auditor, as identified in 8001.5.2.5 shall be a requirement placed on all
significantly large oil field properties and on smaller properties where a
reasonable large number of contamination sources are deemed to remain
unsampled following completion of the approved Sampling Protocol. The
requirement for a Site Auditor shall be at the discretion of the Fire Department.
Soil sampling shall be carried out using protocols approved by the California
Leaking Underground Fuel Tank Manual and/or the Orange County Health
Department.
Analytical results which may be inconsistent or anomalous when compared to
other sample data taken as part of the site assessment shall be made a part of
the record although the land owner shall have the option of providing
additional samples to clarify inconsistencies. The number and location of these
samples shall be determined by the land owner.
7. Specifications for Reuse of Crude Oil Contaminated Soils as Road Subgrade.
Soils must meet criteria listed in 8001.5.2.5 Table 1 and 2.
Reused soils must meet compaction requirements.
Reused soils shall be placed directly beneath the asphalt cap and underlying
aggregate to a maximum depth of four (4) feet below the road surface. Fills
deeper than four (4) feet must be approved by the Fire Department based on
sufficient findings.
Potable drinking water lines must be surrounded by clean sand or gravel and
approved and inspected by the appropriate City Departments before burial in
the roadway.
A detailed set of drawings must be submitted to the City showing the plan of
reused soils, a cross section of the road base, locations of utility lines and
thickness of clean sand and gravel pack placed around these lines. Soil analysis
data for the road fill must also be submitted which shall verify compliance with
the standards listed in Table 1 and/or Table 2.
8. Scope of Contract Specifications for on Site Auditing During Grading
Activities. The Auditor shall be an independent environmental or geotechnical
consulting company with adequate training to identify petroleum contaminated
soils with field instruments and techniques described below. The Auditor shall
be licensed by the State of California as a Registered Environmental Assessor.
Auditors will monitor grading activities for indicators that petroleum
hydrocarbons may have contaminated the soils and shall be aware of the
situations and procedures:
a. Soft spongy soils that become evident as heavy equipment travels over it,
b. Hydrocarbon odors emanating from the soil.
c. A reading of greater than twenty (20) ppm on a hand held organic vapor

g:ord'snance/17551jmm/11/30195 1
3317
d. A small vial of solvent can be used to extract a small amount of soil, If the
solvent becomes discolored petroleum may be present.
If any of the indicators above are found, the Auditor shall devise a sampling
program capable of ascertaining whether or not waste is classified as
hazardous. All sampling procedures shall be in accordance with the protocols
established by LUTF and/or the Orange County Health Department. The
contamination citing shall be made a part bf the record and the Fire
Department shall be immediately notified.
Sufficient samples shall be analyzed to characterize the vertical and horizontal
extent of the potential contaminant. If samples exceed the screening criteria in
8001.5.2.5 Table 1, the soil must either be removed or reanalyzed and
compared to criteria in 8001.5.2.5 Table 2. If the soil is determined to meet
the Table 2, criteria, the soil can be incorporated into the fill. If it does not, the
soil can be stockpiled for remediation and reuse or removed from the site.
A report documenting the observations made and samples obtained during
grading shall be prepared. This report shall document compliance with the
