DIVISION NA), 12 200 EC'VD FAXED❑ ❑PAID FYI SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR RIGHT -OF -WAY ACCESS TOC Holdings Co. Facility No. 01 -075 (Currently Scott's Deli and Service) 616 North 16th Avenue Yakima, Washington Dear Ms. Hazen: This letter is written as a request by Sound Environmental Strategies Corporation (SES) to obtain right -of —way (ROW) access for our planned environmental work associated with the above - mentioned property, located at 616 North 16th Avenue (Figure 1). The purpose of our work is to define the eastern limits of groundwater impacts associated with the on -site service station. Our planned scope of work includes drilling two soil borings within the easternmost north -bound lane of North 16th Avenue, as shown on the attached ROW Work Plan (Figure 2). Initially, the proposed boring locations will be marked with white paint, and a. one -call utility locate request will be made to identify municipal underground utility corridors in the area of the planned borings. Jest prior to initiating the borings, 1 -foot diameter cores will be completed through the pavement. Each boring will be hand excavated to a depth of at least 4 feet below ground surface to further ensure that no damage occurs to underlying utilities. The borings will be completed to a depth of 25 feet bgs using air rotary drilling methods. Each of the borings will measure approximately 9 inches in diameter. After completion, each boring will be completed as a 2 -inch diameter PVC groundwater monitoring well. The wells will be completed in accordance with Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) guidelines. Each well will be completed with a flush- mounted, WSDOT traffic - approved locking well monument. All soil cuttings generated from the borings will be contained in labeled drums that will be temporarily stored on the Scott's Deli Property. This initial phase of work will require one full day and one partial day in the right =of -way. SES will monitor and sample groundwater in these wells until contaminant concentrations in excess of Ecology cleanup levels are not observed over the course of four consecutive quarters. Limited, temporary ROW closure will be required for each of these future events. Ultimately, after seasonal monitoring . and sampling is deemed complete, the wells will be abandoned according to Ecology regulations. Abandoning the wells will include removing the Sound Environmental Strategies Corporation C9Documents and Setting"dministmtoWy Documents \01- 075_20080509_ROW Pennit_Application.docx April 9, 2008 of Yakima Page 2 well monuments and .patching the holes to .matc,h adjacent grades. We anticipate the wells will remain in place for a period-of 2 to 5 years, depending upon analytical testing results. Per City of Yakima requirements, we have enclosed a site work plan, as well as a traffic control plan, the completed request forms, insurance certificate, and a check for $50. We have tentatively scheduled our drilling for the week of June 16, 2008. Also, per the requirements of the permit, SES will notify the Yakima Fire Department, the general public, and adjacent property owners and businesses 5 days prior to short -term traffic lane closure. SES has completed over 100 such subsurface investigations within municipal ROWs in the state of Washington and, to date, have not incurred a serious accident or caused substantial utility or property damage from our work. Assessments such as this are common for evaluating soil and ground water conditions associated within existing and former service stations and determining the extent and limits of soil and groundwater impacts. We hope this request meets with your favorable approval. Please contact us at (206) 306 -1900 if you have any questions or require additional information.
