P17-707 Dear Mr. Lepore: As requested, Matrix New World Engineering, Land Surveying and Landscape Architecture, P.C. (Matrix) is pleased to provide this proposal to perform environmental services for the above-referenced Site. The proposed work encompasses general professional environmental services in support of the Township of West Orange’s Green Acres Program requirements administered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). In addition, the proposed work will be completed in accordance with the Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA), N.J.S.A 58:10C-1 et seq., the Administrative Requirements for the Remediation of Contaminated Sites (ARRCS), N.J.A.C. 7:26C, and the Technical Requirements for Site Remediation (TRSR), N.J.A.C. 7:26E. Matrix prepared a Preliminary Assessment Report (PAR) for the above-referenced Site on October 20, 2017. The PAR identified a total of thirteen Areas of Concern (AOCs). No further investigation was proposed for eight AOCs. Further investigation was proposed for the following five AOCs:  AOC-7 (Mapped Historic

ed a total of thirteen Areas of Concern (AOCs). No further investigation was proposed for eight AOCs. Further investigation was proposed for the following five AOCs:  AOC-7 (Mapped Historic Fill);  AOC-10 (Former Agricultural Use);  AOC-11 (NJDEP Case #94-4-25-1405-06);  AOC-12 (NJDEP Case #94-7-28-1400-22); and  AOC-13 (Potential Heating Source of Former On-Site Structure). Based on NJDEP’s November 27, 2017 and February 5, 2018 letters, the Preliminary Assessment Report (PAR) was reviewed and each recommendation was supported by NJDEP’s Green Acres Program. Therefore, the scope of work for this proposal includes site investigation activities and associated reporting for the five AOCs listed above. SCOPE OF WORK The scope of services and associated fee is described in detail below: Task 1: Soil Site Investigation and Geophysical Investigation Matrix will perform a Site Investigation (SI) at the Site consisting of both a geophysical survey and the advancement of soil borings. A geophysical survey will be completed using ground penetrating radar (GPR) and other associated F:\2017\17-707 Twp. of West Orange Preliminary Assessments - Green Acres\Proposal\2018-02-12_Degnan-SI\Revised\Twp. of West Orange - Degnan Park SI_Revised.doc

technologies to evaluate the Site for past usage. Specifically, the geophysical survey is to document whether any wells, septic systems, or underground storage tanks (USTs) were ever associated with the structure formerly identified in the northwest corner of the property (AOC-13). In addition, the GPR survey will also be used to clear proposed boring locations for proposed soil boring locations. A direct-push drill rig will be utilized to collect soil cores. Six soil borings will be completed within AOC-7, mapped historic fill material (HFM). In accordance with NJDEP’s April 2013 Historic Fill Material Technical Guidance document and based on an approximate HFM area of 2.95 acres, a total of six soil samples will be submitted for analysis. All six soil samples will be submitted for target compound list polyaromatic hydrocarbons (TCL PAHs) and target analyte list (TAL) metals. Two soil samples (25% of the total samples collected) will be submitted for full TCL/TAL with forward library search (TCL/TAL+30) and Extractable Petroleum Hydrocarbon Category 2 (EPH Cat 2) non-fractionated analysis (with contingent fractionation). In addition, to investigate for former agricultural use at the Site, four borings will be completed, and four soil samples will be collected to evaluate for potential impacts from historic pesticide use. These will be collected and submitted for arsenic, lead, and TCL pesticides pursuant to NJDEP’s August 2016 Historically Applied Pesticide Site Guidance document. To investigation the two NJDEP incident numbers (AOC-12 and AOC-13), one sediment and one surface water sample will be collected at the inflow area for an unknown petroleum hydrocarbon discharge. The sediment samples will be analyzed for EPH, Cat 2, and VOCs, SVOCs PCBs, TAL metals, total organic carbon, and grain size, if EPH is detected. The surface water sample will be analyzed for VOCs+15, SVOCs+20, TAL metals including hardness. All samples will be analyzed on standard turnaround time, except for the HFM samples, which will be analyzed for PAHs and TAL metals on a one-week turnaround. Task 2: Site Investigation Report Following the completion of the geophysical survey and receipt of laboratory analytical results, Matrix will prepare a Site Investigation Report (SIR) in accordance with the TRSR. This task includes labor associated with the preparation of the report including

pt of laboratory analytical results, Matrix will prepare a Site Investigation Report (SIR) in accordance with the TRSR. This task includes labor associated with the preparation of the report including findings and conclusions of the investigation, preparation of data tables and figures. Matrix will also prepare the NJDEP’s electronic data deliverables. COSTS The following are our estimated costs for the tasks described herein to further the remedial investigation of the property. All work will be conducted in accordance with the attached standard terms and conditions and LSRP Special Provisions.
