Proposal for Professional Services –Groundwater Monitoring and Reporting Re: Lindsley Avenue Bus Garage; 6 Lindsley Avenue November 25, 2024 Page 3 of 6 and product to the adjacent residential property. Upon completing the limited remedial action (excavation), monitoring wells sampling was conducted to monitor the effectiveness of the remedial action. SCOPE OF SERVICES Based on the review of existing remediation documents, CME has prepared the following scope of work to comply with the NJDEP Technical Requirements for Site Remediation at the Site and provide the consultation and project management necessary to continue to advance the project towards a closure. Task 1: Monitoring Well Gauging & Sampling (Quarterly- Four Rounds) Perform four quarterly groundwater sampling events at the Site. Collect samples from all the existing monitoring wells (MW-4 through MW-26, and SW-1 through SW-10). Groundwater samples will be obtained in accordance with the NJDEP Field Sampling Procedures Manual (August 2005). Groundwater samples will be analyzed for TCL VO+15, TBA, and/or BN+15. A QA/QC plan consisting of field and trip blank samples will be incorporated into the sampling program. Purged groundwater will be containerized in drums and disposed off-site at an approved disposal facility. All sampling and monitoring will be performed according to the methodology specified in the most current edition of the Department's Field Sampling Procedures Manual. All samples will be analyzed by a New Jersey Certified Laboratory except those field-determined parameters specified in the monitoring program established pursuant to the oversight document. Task 2: Reporting and Management CEA and GW remedial Action Permit Based on the previous sampling results and the results of the proposed additional Four quarterly sampling events, CME will establish fate and transport modeling to evaluate the extent of dissolved groundwater impacts (plume) and to compare the degradation predictions to existing data. CME will prepare and submit a Revised CEA Fact Sheet Application and prepare a groundwater remedial action permit pursuant to the Administrative Requirements for Remediation of Contaminated Sites (ARRCS Rule, N.J.A.C. 26:C). The CEA application will be submitted with a Groundwater Remedial Action Permit for natural attenuation as the remedial action for the

Proposal for Professional Services –Groundwater Monitoring and Reporting Re: Lindsley Avenue Bus Garage; 6 Lindsley Avenue November 25, 2024 Page 5 of 6 The proposed budget includes approximately $75,000 for subcontractor’s fee, including laboratory analysis, equipment cost, etc. The budget contained in this proposal is the firm’s best estimate of the effort required to carry out the project as outlined in the scope of work. However, the client will be billed for the actual effort expended to implement the Scope of Services in accordance with the attached billing rates for Environmental Engineering and LSRP services. In no event will the client be billed or work performed in excess of the proposal amount without client's prior approval. ASSUMPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS The scope of work is limited to the tasks outlined above. Based on the investigation findings, additional remediation activities may be required to comply with N.J.A.C. 7:26E and close the case. A separate cost proposal will be provided for any additional work, if needed. SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR LSRP SERVICES • • • • • The enactment of the Site Remediation Reform Act (SRRA; N.J.S.A. 58:10C-1 et seq) on May 7, 2009, and the adoption of the Administrative Requirements for the Remediation of Contaminated Sites (ARRCS; N.J.A.C. 7:26C) on November 4, 2009 require that all new remediation cases follow the provisions of SRRA. A key requirement of these rules is that a Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP) must oversee all new remediation cases. The ARRCS requires the person responsible for conducting a remediation to notify the NJDEP of any confirmed discharges of contaminants or condition of Immediate Environmental Concern (“IEC”). Please note that being an LSRP, as a State licensed professional, I will thus have the obligation to report any such conditions to the NJDEP without obtaining any prior approval from the client. LSRP will provide the required services in accordance with SRRA and has the obligation to submit, maintain and preserve the relevant documents. LSRP is not responsible for client’s failure to disclose relevant information, perform SRRA obligations, fund remediation, and follow LSRP’s recommended actions. Client’s failure to perform these obligations may result in fines/penalties by the NJDEP. The issuance of RAO by LSRP is not a guarantee or warranty that the site is free

Proposal for Professional Services –Groundwater Monitoring and Reporting Re: Lindsley Avenue Bus Garage; 6 Lindsley Avenue • November 25, 2024 Page 6 of 6 NJDEP may audit the RAO within three (3) years after the date the LSRP filed the RAO with the NJDEP. LSRP is not responsible for additional requirements imposed by NJDEP after review/audit, except to the extent they arise out of LSRP’s negligence.

This review will identify potential locations for the crosswalk, taking into account vehicular and pedestrian sight lines; existing on street parking; and existing infrastructure, such as curb ramps, utilities, drainage and private driveways. Based on the results of the field visit, BVE will prepare a suitably illustrated letter report detailing our findings and recommendations. This will include a concept sketch which will identify the most appropriate location for a proposed crosswalk and an order of magnitude cost estimate for construction budgeting purposes. TASK 2 – South Valley Road Signing and Striping Evaluation This task will include a review of the existing signing and striping along South Valley Road from south of Luddington Road to Wellington Avenue with the intent of identifying any missing or obsolete signage and identify recommendations for additional signs / striping where appropriate. Our results will be provided in a brief report of findings which will include a concept sketch showing recommended changes and improvements to the existing traffic control along the corridor. SCHEDULE Work will begin upon notice to proceed; we anticipate providing our findings within four weeks of the start of work, provided weather is favorable for field investigations. 70 South Orange Avenue, Suite 109 Livingston, New Jersey 07039 C: (732) 236-7557 T: (973) 228-0999 F: (201) 753-3904 BrightViewEngineering.com P.O.
