A. RECOGNITION OF RISK SWDD recognizes that opinions relating, to environmental, geologic and geotechnical conditions are based on limited data and that actual conditions may vary from those encountered at the times and locations where data are obtained, and that the limited data results in uncertainty with respect to the interpretation of these conditions, despite the use of due professional care. It is further recognized that the state of practice, particularly with respect to contaminated site and waste conditions, is changing and evolving (for example, the long-term effect of chemicals on soils or manufactured or constructed liner systems is not well-established or known at this time), and, further, that certain of the governmental regulations relating to hazardous waste sites purport to require achievement of results which cannot be accomplished in an absolute sense (e.g., the construction of entirely impermeable liners). GeoSyntec shall be obligated to comply with applicable professional standards of care in the performance of the Services but does not guarantee results. 5. RISK ALLOCATION The liability of GcoSymcc, its employees, agents and subcontractors (hereinafter for purposes of this paragraph 5 referred to collectively as "GeoSyntec"), for SWDD's claims of loss, injury, death, damage, or expense, including, without limitation, SWDD's claims of contribution and indemnification with respect to third-party claims relating to services rendered or obligations imposed under this Agreement, including alt Work Authorizations, shall not exceed in the aggregate under this Agreement the limits of GeoSymec's insurance coverage. 6.

(561) 995.0900 • Fax (561) 995-0925 8lune 1999 As a result of our telephone conversation on Friday, 4 lute 1999, GeoSyntec Consultants (GeoSyntec) is pleased to present five copies of this proposal for execution by the Indian River County Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) to prepare a Preliminary Remedial Action Plan (PRAP) for the Gifford Road Landfill site. A cost estimate and Work Authorization No. I are attached to this proposal. GenSyntec's 24 May 1999 correspondence provides our understanding of site conditions and the technical basis for this proposal. This nropn&al is consist -crit with the reCOuunundations presented in the 24 May 1999 correspondence and builds on the preliminary scope of work presented therein. The purpose of the PRAP is to address groundwater that has been impacted by chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) existing in the vicinity of the eastern portion of the landfill. We propose that the PRAP consist of a a brief summary of site conditions; • evaluation of potential remedial alternatives; XR980701F990270,DOC Carporale Offkt: Regloaal C)mmm l.ahoralorks: 621 N.W. 53[x1 Sum — Suite 650 Attanim.

TASK BREAKDOWN GeoSyntec proposes that the scope of work be accomplished utilizing the following task breakdown: • Task I: Project Management • Task 2: Prepare Draft PRAP • Task 2A: Review and Assessment of Data/Reports • Task 213: Prepare Source Identification Workplan • Task 2C: Evaluate Remedial Options and Design Pilot Test • Task 213: 'Prepare MNA Evaluation Workplan • Task 21E: Internal Review Meeting with 'IBC • Task 3: Prcparr: PRAP for Submittal to FDEP The scope of work to be accomplished under each of these tasks is described below. XR98070/F990270.DOC A16116 GEoSYNnc CONsuLTAN-r5 Mr. Ronald R. Brooks 8 June 1999 Page 3 Task 1: Project Mana eg ment Under this task, Ms. Weeks will coordinate all work scope elements. She will ensure the budget and schedule commitments are met and that IRC is integrated into the project. Task 2A: Review and Assessment of Data/Reports GeoSyntec proposes to conduct a brief review of IRC's files related to the Gifford Road Landfill site to ensure that the information we obtained during the proposal preparation process is complete. (We have learned that we are missing a few documents). As part of this effort and with IRC's help, we will work to obtain and review copies of all pertinent materials, including reports and available information that may assist in designing an effective remedy. Task 213: Prepare Source Identification Workplan The PRAP will include a workplan that is designed to search for the source of the VOC groundwater contamination. For this effort, we will review historical information, such as plume migration patterns and aerial photographs, to guide the assessment design. The Source Identification Workplan will be implemented following Florida Department of Environmental Protection ('DEP) approval. The results of the fieldwork and analysis will be included in the RAP. If source area(s) are identified within the landfill, remedial measures can be designed to address the source area(s). If the source areas are remediated, cleanup of the groundwater will be expedited. Task 2C: 'Evaluate Remedial Options and Resign Pilot Test GeoSyntec will evaluate candidate remedial technologies to address the VOC groundwater impacts just east of the landfill. The pilot test design will focus on performancc of interim remedial measures through use of a small-scale test system near the northeastern landfill boundary. If the pilot test program is effective, the remedial XR98070/F990270.DOC Q- ... - _. ,}. Aak GEo5YNTEC CONSMANT5 Mr. Ronald R. Brooks 8 June 1999 Page A alternative can later be expanded to a full-scale system (following FDEP approval of the RAP). Candidate technologies to be considered tinder Task 2C include: (i) insitu treatment of groundwater by biosparging; (ii) insitu treatment of groundwater by air sparging; and (iii) insitu treatment of soils by soil vapor extraction. As part of this evaluation, GeoSyntec will work with IRC to assist in selecting a remedial strategy to be pursued further :with a pilot test. The PRAP will include detailed procedures to implement the pilot test program. Since we have already had discussions on this subject with iRC and FDEP, the attached cost estimate assumes design of a pilot test biosparging remedial system. If a more complicated pilot test system design is needed based on the evaluation of remedial options and input by IRC, GeoSyntec may need to request additional budget to complete this task. Task 213: Develop MNA Evaluation Workplan We understand that Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) should be evaluated as a potential ccriponcnt of the oveiail site remedy. To begin this MNA evaluation, currently available information will be utilized and data gaps will be identified in the PRAP. As a result, an MNA Evaluation Workplan will be prepared and included in the PRAP and will specify the fieldwork necessary to fill data gaps which will ultimately allow a demonstration of the viability of MNA as a remedial option in accordance with FDEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency guidelines. Task 2E: Draft PRAP Review Meeting with IRC GeoSyntec will meet with IRC to review the drall PRAP and to discuss the pros and cons of each scoped work element (including order of magnitude costs, implementation schedules, etc.) and compliance with lRC's objectivestgoals for the site. Mr. Chris Herin and Ms. Nandra Weeks will attend a 0.5 -day meeting with IRC. XR98070IF990270.DOC ,0 Affi6 GF.oSyNnx GoNs[dt.TANTs Mr. Ronald. R. Brooks S June 1999 Page 5 GeoSyntec will modify the PRAT' in accordance with direction given by IRC at the draft PRAP review meeting. A second draft PRAP will be submitted for IRC's review. Only minor editorial comments are anticipated (to be provided by IRC via facsimile or teleconference),. Task 3: Pre are PRAP for Submittal to FDEP GcoSyntec will prepare five copies of the PRAP for submission to IRC for internal distribution and forwarding to FDEP. GcoSyntec proposes that a meeting will be held with FDEP concurrent with submittal of the PRAP. We have included budget for a 0.5 - day meeting with FDEP to present the PRAP. The primary purpose of this meeting will be to discuss the contents of and recommendations presented within the PRAP. Mr. Chris Herin and Ms. Nandra Weeks will attend the meeting. Note: Addressing FDEP comments (if any) will be handled under a separate (to be determined) budget. BUDGET ESTIMATE The rest estimate for preparing the PRAP as described herein is $29,716.iu, The breakdown of the costs by hours and tasks is presented in the attached cost estimate spreadsheet. GcoSyntec notes that cost estimates for performing work subsequent to the approval of the PRAP are not included in the estimate presented above. Separate cost estimates will be prepared at a later date to implement the Source Identification Workplan, the pilot test program, MNA Evaluation Workplan, and any other fieldwork that is warranted or necessary in IRC's efforts to address the Gifford Road Landfill site. In addition, a separate cost estimate will be prepared at a inter date to prepare the RAP for the site. X R9Ii 070/F990270, D(7 C 42 - .. - - 'Y I&L °+r i GFOSYNITsC CONSUITANTS Mr. Ronald R.
