RE: Acceptance Testing Results for Purity Oil Sales Superfund Site

Dear Mark:

Per your request, results of the acceptance testing for two samples collected from the foundationlayer material and one sample collected from the Golden State Market area at the Purity Oil SalesSuperfund Site are attached. Acceptance testing was performed according to the specificationsset forth in the Material and Construction Acceptance Testing sections of Table C-l of theConstruction Quality Control Plan Addendum.

On the first sample, which was collected from the source of the foundation layer material, thefollowing tests were performed for material and construction acceptance: Modified Proctoraccording to ASTM D 1557, Specific Gravity according to ASTM D 854, and Gradationaccording to ASTM D 422 and ASTM D 1140.

The second sample of the foundation layer material was collected to verify that the materialdelivered to the Site was the same as the material tested at the source, therefore gradation testingwas not required. The tests performed were Modified Proctor according to ASTM D 1557 andSpecific Gravity according to ASTM D 854.

The third sample, designated 020718-GSM-01, was collected from the Golden State Market areabefore backfilling occurred, and the following tests were performed for construction acceptance:Modified Proctor according to ASTM D 1557 and Specific Gravity according to ASTM D 854.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (517) 202-0459.

Sincerely,SECOR International Incorporated

Subject: Foundation Layer Soil Tests

Dear Sir:

Pursuant to your request, Laboratory Testing was performed by our firm on one soilsample delivered by Mr. Scott Jordan on June 10, 2002, representing the abovementioned project.

One sample was delivered for testing as specified by Mr. Scott Jordan. Testing wasconducted according to standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials(ASTM), designated as: ASTM D422 (Particle Size Analysis), ASTM D854 (SpecificGravity of Soil), ASTM D1140 (Amount of Materials Finer than the No. 200 Sieve), andASTM D1557 (Laboratory Compaction Characteristics of Soil using Modified Effort).

The purpose of our service is to assist in quality control to achieve conformance with theapproved project plans and specifications and generally accepted practices in theindustry. Our services do not guarantee the performance of the design, materials, orworkmanship.

Thank you for your valued business. If you have any questions concerning this report,or if we may be of further assistance, please call our office at (559) 276-9311.
