Re:  Revised Proposal for Abandonment of Remaining Wells and Removal of Former
Remediation System Equipment, Former Continental-Olympic-United Fuel Farm
Area, SeaTac International Airport 
Dear Ryan, Dave, and Megan: 
SLR International Corporation (SLR) has prepared this proposed scope of work and cost
estimate for removal of the former remediation system equipment and abandonment of the
remaining wells and piezometers at the former Continental-Olympic-United fuel farm area 
(the former fuel farm area). The scope of work is detailed in the following tasks.
Task 1 – Project Management 
This task includes coordinating field activities with SLR staff, subcontractors, and the Port of
Seattle (Port); subcontracting; communications with the Continental-Olympic-United Fuel
Facility Environmental Committee (FFEC); and communications with the Washington State 
Department of Ecology (Ecology).
Task 2 – Abandon Wells 
There are currently a total of 53 remaining groundwater monitoring wells, piezometers,
inactive dual-phase extraction (DPE) wells, and inactive groundwater recovery wells at the
former fuel farm area. The wells  and piezometers are two to four inches in diameter, except
for an inactive recovery well that is 36 inches in diameter, and range in depth from
approximately 6.5 to 75 feet below ground surface (bgs).  Based on SLR’s review of
SLR International Corporation 22118 - 20th Avenue SE, Ste. G202, Bothell, WA 98021

               Mr. Ryan Keeler, David Wandor, and Megan King 
Page 2 

Ecology’s well records, a total of 43 of the wells and piezometers are registered with Ecology
and have identification numbers and driller well logs on file. 
Holt Services, Inc. (Holt) of Edgewood, Washington, will abandon or decommission the wells
and piezometers in accordance with the requirements of the Washington Administrative Code
(WAC) 173-360-381. The decommissioning work will be conducted by a licensed well driller
(in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 18.104 RCW - The Washington Well
Construction Act) under the direction of an SLR geologist. SLR will subcontract and schedule
the Port-required traffic control equipment and personnel prior to conducting any of the well
abandonment work on or adjacent to roads. 
Holt will abandon or decommission the 53 wells according to the following procedures: 
• The 43 Ecology-registered wells and piezometers will be abandoned by filling each well
casing and screen with hydrated bentonite chips and filling each surface monument or
vault with concrete to match the surrounding grade. The monument and vault lids will
be disposed off-site. 
• The nine 2- and 4-inch-diameter wells that are not registered with Ecology will be
decommissioned by removing each well monument or well vault; overdrilling the well
by using a limited-access hollow-stem auger  drill rig; removing the well casing; 
backfilling each of the overdrilled well borings with hydrated bentonite chips to a depth
of approximately 2 feet bgs; and then backfilling the top 2 feet with concrete. 
• The 36-inch-diameter inactive recovery well, which is not registered with Ecology, will
be decommissioned by disinfecting the water in the well using chlorine tablets; filling
the well with pea gravel to a depth of approximately 2 feet bgs; and then backfilling the
top 2 feet with concrete. The portion of the recovery well casing that protrudes above the
ground surface will be cut off prior to decommissioning. 
The soil cuttings from the overdrilling activities will be temporarily stored at the former fuel
farm area in properly labeled 55-gallon drums.  SLR will collect a composite sample of the
soil in the drums and submit it to Apex Laboratories (Apex) in Tualatin, Oregon, for the
analyses required by the disposal facility.  The sample analytical results will be used for
profiling of the waste. The drums will be hauled off-site by a licensed waste transporter for
disposal (as non-hazardous waste) at an Ecology-licensed facility. 
Task 3 – Remove Former Remediation System Equipment 
Wyser Construction, Inc. (Wyser) of Snohomish, Washington will remove the inactive DPE
system equipment, as well as the remaining inactive bioventing and product skimming system 
equipment. The equipment removal work will be conducted under the direction of an SLR
geologist. Prior to decommissioning the DPE system, SLR collect a composite sample of the
carbon in the vapor-phase granular activated carbon (GAC) canisters and submit it to Apex

Decommissioning.doc

               Mr. Ryan Keeler, David Wandor, and Megan King

for the analyses required by the disposal facility. The sample analytical results will be used for
profiling of the carbon waste. A licensed waste transporter will remove the carbon the
canisters and haul it off-site for disposal at an Ecology-licensed facility. 
Wyser’s scope of work will include the following: 
• Disconnect the power supply to the inactive DPE system inside the former Continental
Fuel Farm power supply building on the northwest portion of the former Fuel Farm. 
Wyser will subcontract a licensed electrician for this work. 
• Cut off and cap all of the underground utility lines (electrical and sewer) inside of the
fenced DPE system enclosure. 
• Remove the former DPE system equipment skid and all system components, including
the vacuum blowers, knockout tank, oil/separator, product storage tank, carbon vessels,
piping manifold, aboveground piping, hoses, conduits, control panel, and emission stack.
All of the equipment will be disposed and/or recycled off-site at Ecology-licensed
facilities. 
• Remove the former bioventing system building and the former system equipment within 
the building. The building and equipment will be hauled off-site for disposal at an
Ecology-licensed facility. 
• Remove the chain-link fencing surrounding the former system equipment enclosure and
haul it off-site for disposal at an Ecology-licensed facility. 
• Remove the fiberglass shelter and the concrete secondary containment pad for the
former product skimming system and haul them off-site for disposal at an Ecologylicensed
facility. 
• Remove the accessible underground DPE system piping from the system enclosure to
each DPE point vault, remove the vaults, backfill the vaults with imported, clean gravel 
fill, backfill the trenches to remove the system piping with the excavated material, and
finish the ground surface of each trench to match the surrounding area (either asphalt or 
topsoil and grass sod). The inaccessible underground system piping located beneath the
Air Cargo Road travel lanes will not be removed, but instead will be capped at each end
and left in place to minimize any potential impacts to airport operations.  The removed
piping will be hauled off-site for disposal at an Ecology-licensed facility. 
• The vaults for MW-3C and MW-6 will be removed prior to the well abandonment work
to allow space for Holt to overdrill those DPE points, which are not registered with
Ecology.

In addition to the remediation system equipment removal and disposal work described above,
Wyser’s scope of work may include the following optional tasks: 
• Task 3a - Subcontract a licensed crane operator to remove 200 linear feet of interlocking
steel sheet piling in the former Continental Fuel Farm soil excavation area. The sheet
piling will be hauled off-site for recycling at an Ecology-licensed facility. 
• Task 3b - Remove the fencing and concrete retaining wall from the former Continental
Fuel Farm excavation area. 
• Task 3c - Remove the light post located inside the remediation system equipment
enclosure and haul it off-site for disposal at an Ecology-licensed facility. 
Task 4 – Prepare Report 
After completing the work described above, SLR will prepare a letter report that describes the
work and presents photographs that document the work. A draft version of the report will be
submitted to the FFEC for review. After receiving comments, SLR will finalize the report and
submit it to the FFEC. 
ESTIMATED COST 
The proposed scope of work will be conducted on a time and materials basis, in accordance
with the conditions of the Master Agreement for Environmental Services, dated March 1,
2002, and consistent with the attached Fee Schedule.  The total estimated cost to perform
Tasks 1 through 4 is $199,510. The estimated additional costs for the optional tasks under
Task 3 are as follows: 
• Task 3a: $105,190 
• Task 3b: $15,100 
• Task 3c: $1,740 
In addition to the assumptions described above, the cost estimate assumes that: 1) the well
abandonment work will take a total of eight working days to complete; 2) the removal of the
remediation system will take a total of 10 working days to complete; 3) all wastes (drill
cuttings and granular carbon) will be profiled as non-hazardous; 4) the work will be
conducted on weekdays during normal business hours; and 5) if any or all of Tasks 3a through
3c are included, they will be conducted concurrently with the other work under Task 3.  A
breakdown of the estimated costs is shown in the attached Table. The proposed work will be
conducted under Assignment Order No. SEA-05, which currently has the funds ($20,692 in
the project escrow account) to cover a small portion of the cost to conduct the proposed work.
