SOW TASK C: Other Environmental Assessment Tasks At the direction of the District’s Project Manager, other environmental assessment tasks may include feasibility studies, human health and ecological risk assessments, environmental health studies, environmental health and safety plans, environmental remediation activities, lead and asbestos surveys, and air quality monitoring.

A. Knowledge of Current ASTM E1527 Standard and the EPA All Appropriate Inquiry Rule (40 CFR Part 312) SOW TASK A: Completion of Environmental Site Assessments ASL has proven technical approaches and resources in place to successfully perform all the scope of services required under the District’s SOW. ASL’s success in providing ESA services in Florida over the past 28 years is the result of our emphasis on understanding the requirements, and accomplishing the work while exceeding our client’s expectations. We continue to develop and expand an in-house group of motivated professionals with extensive knowledge of EPA and FDEP statutes and regulations. The personnel who will be working on this contract are experienced in implementing the requirements of ASTM Standard E1527-13, EPA’s All Appropriate Inquiry (AAI) Rule, CERCLA, and all other applicable environmental assessment standards and regulations. Many of these individuals are working on our current District Contract.

Knowledge of ASTM Standard E1527-13 ASL is very familiar with the AAI rule and we have been completing Phase I ESAs to the same standards since before the AAI rule was promulgated formally in November 2006 and recently revised and incorporated into ASTM E1527-13 in December 2013. Over the past five years, ASL has completed more than 450 Phase I ESA projects. We have a well-defined internal training program and technical approach to performing ESA work in accordance with ASTM E1527-13 guidelines. Our proven expertise and knowledge of this standard is reflected in the amount of business we accomplish for repeat clients. Over 90% of our ESA work comes from existing clients or referrals.

Kick-off Meeting If required, ASL coordinates project kick-off meetings at the District’s office, with subsequent project planning meetings conducted by teleconference or on site. ASL understands that after an ESA Work Order is issued, an initial on-site meeting of stakeholders may be desired. During the kick-off meeting, a preliminary partial site walk over is conducted and future logistic issues (gate keys, access, requirements for special equipment, etc.) are discussed.

Review Existing Background Information ASL reviews site background information and preliminary data provided by the client and/or other sources prior to conducting the site inspection. An environmental regulatory database search report is obtained from Environmental Risk Information Services (ERIS). Information provided in the environmental regulatory database search report is reviewed prior to visiting the site in order to verify the accuracy of the information and to identify unmapped sites with the potential to negatively impact the subject site. Prior to the inspection, a series of current and historical aerial photographs of the site and surrounding properties are reviewed. Reviews of existing Soil Conservation Service surveys and USGS periodicals for soil type and groundwater characteristics, and topographic maps for general topography are also performed.

nvironmental Assessment of District’s Lands Page 1.10

Large Parcel ESA Project Management Our proposed management team is very experienced in budgeting large parcel ESAs and determining the best approach to cover the most important areas in the most efficient manner. ASL’s track record of accurately estimating costs for the 108 awarded District Work Orders has prevented later scope modifications and increased budget. Of particular importance on large area parcels is following logging and hunting trails to find dead-end dumping, and observing adjacent properties for unauthorized dumping or spills. Because some large acreage ESAs sometimes include inaccessible areas, ASL can subcontract helicopter or drone services to reduce limitations to the assessments and provide the District with reliable data to make informed project decisions.

Another practice that ASL employs is to document the track of the site walk-over (fly-over) using GPS units. This is also helpful when tying photo-documentation to specific areas of concern such as cattle dip vats, drum storage or dumping areas, or “maintenance” areas at the end of logging trails. Ultimately, there is digitally recorded geocoded evidence of what areas were covered which is added to the report.

Quality of Service ASL also maintains a robust Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) program that supports large acreage ESAs. This includes a full review cycle to ensure each report is of the highest quality and accuracy. Our Program and Project Managers hold the ultimate responsibility for quality control of the work performed by ASL and the project team. ASL’s commitment to quality is evidenced by and documented in our Quality Management System (QMS) Manual which complies with ISO 9001:2000 guidelines. Because of the variety of projects conducted, our corporate QA program is flexible and easily adaptable to the specific scope of each District project. The QMS documents how ASL implements the QA process on a company-wide basis. It addresses the roles, responsibilities, and mechanisms for accountability within the organization. The QMS establishes project-related policies, procedures, standards, training, and guidelines aimed at producing the desired level of quality (projects and/or deliverables), including special controls, processes, skills, or other required resources.

ASL performs all Phase I ESAs in accordance with ASTM Standard E1527-13 and 40 CFR Part 312. Our Phase I ESA reports can be tailored to address non-ASTM scope items such as the presence of asbestos, radon, or lead-based paint. We have in-house capabilities to address any REC to the District’s satisfaction. ASL maintains a proven track record for superior performance, as evidenced by the many long-term relationships we have with our existing clients. We understand the technical issues as well as the challenges and nuances associated with the completion of a complex real estate transaction.

C. Experience Using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Mapping in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Coordinate System Using NAD 83 based on HARN ASL has extensive experience with GPS and mapping in the UTM coordinate system, and regularly employs these tools in a variety of applications. We understand differences between World Geodetic System (WGS) 84 and North American Datum (NAD) 27 or NAD 83 can be as much as 200 meters; therefore, it is critical to ensure our project team knows which reference base datum is being used and always set the GPS unit’s datum to match the datum of the map we are using. On a USGS topographic map the datum information is in the fine print at the bottom left of the map. If not in NAD 83, there may be information on how many meters to shift a position to convert it to NAD 83. The application of GPS in the services that ASL provides is extensive. We typically use Garmin™ and

Helicopter Used for Site Flyover nvironmental Assessment of District’s Lands Page 1.11

Magellan™ hand-held units and the Avenza Maps® mobile phone application for general field work. However, when a higher level of location accuracy is required, we use differentially corrected sub-meter Trimble units.

Navigation during the site reconnaissance of a large-acreage ESA in a remote area can be challenging. Ms. Sarah Riffe, Project Manager, and our ESA Team are very familiar with using GPS technology to increase the efficiency and accuracy of navigation during the reconnaissance. Prior to the field visit, aerial photographs of current and historical site conditions are georeferenced in ArcGIS and reviewed for potential environmental concerns. The series of aerial photographs is then uploaded into the Avenza Maps application and the field crew can easily navigate to points of interest and determine their location on historical imagery in real time.

Documentation of waypoints and sampling locations is also critical to the successful completion of Phase I and II ESAs. All waypoints on our large-acreage ESA work are mapped using GPS technology. Our ESA team have successfully used GPS to collect, integrate, and present site data. During large acreage Phase I ESAs, we locate and use GPS waypoints to mark and define locations of features identified in the field. GPS track maps are downloaded in UTM coordinates and overlaid onto color or infrared aerial images in a GIS project.

Data collected in the field via hand held GPS units is typically imported into GIS software tools. We can then use our GIS expertise to map environmental, regulatory, and historical land use data collected for each site. As an example, ASL performed an ESA for over 500 parcels of land located in downtown Jacksonville. In order to compile and analyze the information collected, ASL created an Access database application which was linked to the City’s GIS. The use of a database allowed the City of Jacksonville to include the data in the overall city-wide GIS system, and made the information collected readily available to all departments within the city, as well as the public. Using GIS for all project data results in a complete and consistent database that supports all of the project stakeholders. GIS can also be an exciting, effective public involvement tool if public meetings are required as part of the land acquisition process.

D. Experience Performing Environmental Sampling in Accordance with FDEP SOPs SOW TASK B: Environmental Sampling of Soil, Sediment, Groundwater, and/or Surface Water This section specifically addresses our approach and experience in the areas of sampling soil, sediment, groundwater and/or surface water. All work performed under this task will follow current FDEP SOPs, and will include data review, reports, and result screening using appropriate FDEP and EPA guidelines.

ASL has performed Phase II ESAs, site investigations, and remediation of commercial, industrial, and undeveloped property for public sector agencies and private entities throughout Florida. The FDEP SOPs are our basic guidance for all sampling related work. Our field activities are conducted in strict adherence with FDEP SOPs, as described in FDEP SOP-001/01. ASL is a leader in the use of innovative approaches to conduct expedited Phase II ESA and site investigations. We have performed over 400 projects related to this aspect of your SOW over the past five years (Table 1.3).

nvironmental Assessment of District’s Lands Page 1.13 achieve final regulatory closure at a variety of sites. In fact since 2009, we have performed over 1,000 contamination assessments, Phase II ESAs, or soil and groundwater sampling events. The projects have varied in size from 1,000 square feet to projects that have entailed over 2,500 soil and groundwater sampling locations, and ranged in complexity from undeveloped land to EPA CERCLA sites. We have the in-house staff and expertise to perform data assessments and modeling of contaminant levels to evaluate whether the applicable cleanup or natural attenuation levels will be obtained within the projected time frame. ASL maintains up-to-date copies of all FDEP and EPA SOPs and conducts training for our staff involved in field sampling operations.

Initial Site Evaluations ASL realizes the importance of collecting accurate and dependable initial site information. This information is crucial in prioritizing sites for assessment and cleanup operations, realizing that resources and funding are limited.

Initial site information and data collection goals are also very important in developing a technically sound and cost-effective approach and sampling plan.

ASL has coordinated file reviews, conducted telephone interviews with the site owner or operator, and acquired as-built site plans from site owners in order to conduct an efficient and cost-effective site assessment. With our thorough knowledge of state regulations, policies, and sampling procedures, we are able to visualize the available alternatives and collect information more efficiently, resulting in reduced costs and time required for subsequent investigating and remediation tasks. ASL’s approach to this important preliminary data collection phase is crucial to making sound recommendations for possible continued site investigations. This phase of the project is also instrumental in forming good relations with site owners and operators by briefing them on our plans for the site, reviewing possible operational impacts, and determining the optimum approach and schedule for any additional site work.

Over the past 28 years, ASL has performed contamination assessments at contaminated sites utilizing various innovative assessment approaches that allow for a more cost-effective, timely site characterization. Our extensive knowledge of Chapter 62-780, FAC, contaminated site cleanup criteria, and our ability to evaluate applicable remedial options allows us to design our site assessment activities to collect the necessary data needed to meet all FDEP regulatory objectives.

SOW TASK C: Other Environmental Assessment Tasks This subsection addresses potential Task C SOW items, based on the direction of the District’s Project Manager, which may include feasibility studies, human health and ecological risk assessments, environmental health studies, environmental health and safety plans, environmental remediation activities, lead and asbestos surveys and air quality monitoring.

Feasibility Study ASL conducts feasibility studies to evaluate a range of remedial options, identifying those that will best achieve the District’s objectives in an efficient and cost-effective manner and in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. For example, ASL completed a feasibility study as part of the remedial investigation of the Compton Harris small arms firing range for the District. ASL’s approach to segregation, physical removal of lead particles, and chemical stabilization of lead-impacted soil resulted in an estimated cost savings of approximately $100,000 versus conventional disposal methods. ASL’s experience conducting feasibility studies includes a remedial investigation and feasibility study of former incinerator sites where we assisted in the design of a remedial investigation and feasibility study Work Plan to address contaminants for ash at two former incinerators and two disposal sites in Jacksonville. The Work Plan included sampling protocols to address dioxins, volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds in the soil, groundwater, surface water and sediments. ASL also completed remedial investigation and feasibility studies at two former Nike missile launch sites investigating various areas of concern nvironmental Assessment of District’s Lands Page 1.14 identified during CERCLA Remedial Investigations performed by ASL. ASL collected data necessary to adequately characterize the sites for the purpose of developing and evaluating effective remedial alternatives.

Ecological and Human Risk Assessments ASL stands ready to assist the District staff in evaluating ecological and human risk assessment alternatives for any site. The ability to produce technically sound and legally defensible risk assessments has never been more important than in today’s regulatory environment. The combined impacts of increased regulatory scrutiny, restrictive standards, and increasing public interest and involvement place a premium on the highest technical scientific quality and most modern, innovative, and realistic approaches to evaluating the potential for adverse human health or ecological effects.

Environmental Health Studies ASL conducts environmental health studies to address the physical, chemical, and biological factors external to a person and to assess the controlling factors in the environment that can potentially affect human health. ASL’s in-house Industrial Hygiene/Environmental Health and Safety Department also has the full capabilities to assess potential environmental health concerns associated with indoor air quality (IAQ), mold, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) exposure.

Environmental Health and Safety Plans At ASL, significant time is dedicated to ensuring that all projects are completed safely and meet our high standards of quality. Our first priority is always safety for the general public, our staff, and subcontractors. Project safety is achieved by assigning experienced and certified personnel to operate under our corporate standard operating health and safety associated with procedures. All field personnel receive training and are included in our medical monitoring program in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120. ASL’s site specific health and safety plans are reviewed by an on-staff Certified Industrial Hygienist to ensure safe field operations. Tailgate safety meetings are held on site prior to the initiation of each day’s field activities. Safety audits are also performed to assure compliance with ASL’s corporate and project specific health and safety procedures and to make improvements in the overall program. Contact telephone numbers for local fire and police departments and utility companies are incorporated in the Health and Safety Plan (HASP) in the event of an emergency. The primary objective of this plan is to prevent physical and chemical exposure, prevent accidents, and prevent the spread of contamination to on-site personnel.

The HASP is an integral part of each investigation and is important to ensure all personnel are aware of the known hazards at a project site and their responsibilities to avoid those hazards.

Environmental Remediation ASL has the in-house engineering design and remedial construction expertise to address the full range of contaminants and types of remediation projects that may be encountered. Some of the services we provide include obtaining approvals and permits, preparing and negotiating remedial action plans and risk based corrective actions, performing source removals, removing and closing storage tanks, completing confirmation sampling activities, developing bid documentation, performing site remediation activities, implementing institutional controls, and obtaining NFA or Site Rehabilitation Completion Orders.

Tab 2. Qualifications, Work Histories, and Abilities of Proposed Key Personnel

Our proposed key personnel have in-depth experience developing and implementing solutions pertaining to the identification, assessment, and mitigation of environmental contamination issues throughout Northeast and Central Florida. We recognize that it takes a collaboration of many technical and professional specialists to successfully complete a challenging due diligence, contamination assessment, or remediation project. All of our team members are knowledgeable in the various scientific disciplines that effectively contribute to the successful completion of each project. They also have a thorough understanding of how various technical issues relate to the negotiation and acquisition of properties for public agencies. This is an area in which we specialize, having implemented due diligence and environmental risk management programs for public land acquisition and preservation programs throughout Florida. The majority of our team members have experience working with the District, ensuring consistency and eliminating any learning curve.

ASL has assembled an outstanding team of engineers, geologists, scientists, and other environmental professionals for this contract. Our project team understands that cost efficiency and schedule are critical to the overall success of this program. ASL is committed to providing the resources to exceed your expectations of quality and on time performance. We look forward to continuing our work with the District under this new contract.

A. Organization Profile and Proposed Project Management The proposed technical support team is organized into your three main technical service areas: Environmental Site Assessment, Environmental Sampling, and Other Services. The team will be supported by corporate functions pertaining to QA/QC and Health and Safety. Based on our experience performing due diligence and environmental cleanup projects for the District, we have found organization along lines of technical service to be the most efficient and cost effective approach. Our technical program and organization are also supported by a robust QA/QC program.

ASL’s in-house capabilities for turn-key ESA and remediation services will result in responsive, cost effective project implementation for the District. Frank Redway, our Program Manager, has over 27 years of program management experience and has over 15 years of experience working with the District, including ASL’s previous and existing ESA contracts. Sarah Riffe, PG, CHMM, our Project Manager, has over 13 years of experience in project management, Phase I-IV ESAs, sample collection techniques per FDEP SOPs and GIS/GPS applications. Ms. Riffe has 9 years of experience performing District ESAs and 3 years of District contract project management experience. Mr. Redway and Ms. Riffe will continue to be involved on every work order issued under this new contract.

Ms. Riffe will be assisted by Environmental Site Assessment Team Leader, Robert Young, PG; Environmental Sampling Team Leader, Kathy Leggoe, PG; and Other Services Team Leader, Paul Fitch, P.E., LAC. Corporate and project quality control and health and safety operations will be managed by Allyson Charbonnet, PhD, and John Hubbard, LAC, CSP, respectively. The roles and responsibility of the three technical service teams are as follows:

“Over the course of more than 20 years, ASL has provided consulting support to JEA Environmental Services, delivering excellent work product, consistently performed in accordance with proposed budgets and schedules. JEA has been very pleased with the tasks performed by ASL, including Phase I and II ESAs; environmental audits; petroleum contamination site assessments, remediation, and emergency response; SPCC plans; storage tank closures; and field support for various water, sewer and electric distribution infrastructure projects.”

Lindsay Starner, JEA nvironmental Assessment of District’s Lands Page 2.2

The Environmental Site Assessment Team will perform all tasks specific to determining “all appropriate inquiry” into the previous ownership and uses of the property consistent with good commercial or customary practice as defined in ASTM E1527-13 for Phase I ESAs. We understand that this line of service will be the mainstay of this contract. The Environmental Site Assessment Team will be supported by and work closely with the Environmental Sampling Team and Other Services Teams for those tasks where additional studies or recommendations may be required due to the presence or likely presence of environmental contamination issues. Additional assessment and remedial activities (Phase I, II, III, IV ESAs) may need to be performed to further evaluate and address contaminants identified. This integrated team approach has proven to be an effective method of work control.

Our team includes an experienced group of geologists, engineers, and environmental scientists.

The Environmental Sampling Team will review available records from the District and other sources, tabulate the field data, and prepare desktop site assessment reports. The team will perform all Phase II ESA and contamination assessment activities and will conduct site sampling programs to determine if soil, sediments, groundwater, or surface water have been negatively impacted by current or past site uses. If areas of impacted soil and/or groundwater are identified, the environmental sampling team can also perform aquifer characteristic testing and prepare a Site Assessment Report. The team will also be responsible for any soil and groundwater monitoring activities associated with remedial system performance monitoring and natural attenuation projects that may be required. Sampling locations will be mapped using GPS and reported in UTM coordinate system utilizing the NAD

83. Our team includes staff geologists, hydrogeologists, engineers, and scientists.

The Other Services Team will be responsible for performing feasibility studies, human health and ecological risk assessments, and environmental health studies; preparing environmental health and safety plans; evaluating potential exposure pathways and routes; identifying potential receptors; establishing site specific health factors;

performing environmental remediation activities; conducting source removal activities; preparing source removal reports; conducting pilot studies; evaluating natural attenuation concentrations; developing engineering cost estimates; performing lead and asbestos surveys; and providing air quality monitoring. If necessary, the Other Services Team can design and implement remedial action plans; prepare plans, specifications, and bidding documents; provide technical support and engineering QA/QC reviews during construction; prepare as-built drawings; provide annual remedial system performance evaluations; and design system optimization programs.

The team available for this contract consists of engineers, hydrogeologists, CADD staff, risk assessors, and industrial hygienists.
