1 INTRODUCTION

ASC Tech Services (ASC), a division of Quest GeoSystems Management, Inc. (Quest), was founded in

December 2007 as a professional field services company to assist consultants and their clients in the

Accelerated Site Characterization process of field investigations. Professional experience among its team

members includes work performed throughout the Western United States. Quest is a State of California

Certified Small/Micro Business (DGS# 1223821) and a California Public Utilities Commission certified

Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) [VON: 13050044].

2 CAPABILITIES

ASC is an environmental field services company providing technical expertise in the area of field

investigation. ASC personnel assist in all phases of surface and subsurface characterization, environmental

property assessments, and soil and groundwater remediation. ASC‘s team members have extensive field

experience from initial assessment through the design and installation of remediation systems to receipt of

"No Further Action" directives from regulatory agencies. ASC assists environmental consultants in obtaining

high definition site characterization data through the use of innovative technologies to allow them to obtain

a better understanding of contaminant distribution in relation to lithology. ASC implements many of

Geoprobe Systems® Direct Image® tools, which were developed determine lithologic changes and track

VOC plume by taking a snapshot of the subsurface with minimal disturbance of the subsurface and without

removal of soil or groundwater. With Direct Image® tools, consultants are able to evaluate a site in one site

visit allowing the infield professionals to make real-time decisions.

ASC can cost effectively provide 3-D imaging of contaminant mass distribution in relation to lithology as

well as site landmarks. This 3-D imaging capability allows consultants and their clients to gain a better

visual perspective of the contaminant distribution.

ASC provides services that meet or exceed client expectations at competitive prices in the following areas:

Membrane Interface Probe (MIP);

Hydrologic Profiling Tool (HPT);

Optical Image Profiler (OIP);

Ultra-Violet Optical Screening Tool (UVOST®);

Geothermal & In-Situ Pressure Profiling/Monitoring

2.1 MEMBRANE INTERFACE PROBE (MIP)

The MIP is a screening tool with semi-quantitative capabilities acting as an interface between the

contaminants in the subsurface and gas phase detectors at the surface. The down-hole, permeable

membrane serves as an interface to a detector at the surface. Volatiles in the subsurface diffuse across the

membrane and partition into a stream of carrier gas where they can be swept to the detector. The

membrane is heated so that travel by VOCs across this thin film is almost instantaneous. MIP acquisition

software logs detector signal with depth. The ability to detect a contaminant is determined by the type of

detectors being used. Detectors used by ASC include photo ionization detector (PID), electron capture

detector (ECD), the flame ionization detector (FID), and halogen Specific Detector (XSD). Each detector is

designed for sensitivity to a group or type of contaminant. The ECD and XSD are used for chlorinated (TCE,

PCE) contaminant detection, PID is best used for the detection of aromatic hydrocarbons (BTEX

compounds), and the FID is best used for straight chained hydrocarbons (methane, butane). These detector

signals, in conjunction with the time in which a contaminant takes to return to the surface, are graphed

versus depth.

MP6520 MIP Probe

The detector information and the electrical conductivity of the soil are logged and graphed in the field. This

allows the ASC operator to determine the location of the contaminant, the relative concentration of the

contaminant and the soil in which the contaminant is located. The MIP log can be used to determine the

depth at which a monitoring well should be placed, at what depth samples need to be collected, and/or the

interval for injection of remediation materials.

The benefits of MIP over traditional sampling:

Real time data allows site characterization location decisions to be made without waiting for soil or

groundwater sample analysis;

Better vertical delineation: 20 samples per foot vs. 1 sample every 5 feet for soil or one sample per

monitoring well;

Measures total contaminant mass versus just soil, soil vapor, or groundwater;

Locates contaminant mass interface at unique lithologic zones;

Lower halogen detection limits than hand held PID;

PID and FID co-detection for petroleum hydrocarbons; and

Digital output allows for easy mapping of mass vs. lithology.

2.2 HYDROLOGIC PROFILING TOOL (HPT)

The HPT allows the creation of fast, continuous real-time profiles of soil hydraulic properties in both fine-

and coarse-grained material. The HPT uses a sensitive, downhole transducer to measure the pressure

response of the soil to injection of water. One primary use of this tool is to locate and define preferential

migration pathways for contaminants in the subsurface. It can also be used to target zones for injection of

remediation material. In addition, the HPT can be used to select well screen intervals, evaluate locations to

conduct slug tests, and measure static water conditions across a site. HPT’s features include:

Fast, continuous, real-time profiling of soil hydraulic properties;

Use in both fine- and coarse-grained material;

Use in both saturated and unsaturated conditions;

ASC TECH SERVICES STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS CAPABILITIES PAGE 3 OF 12

Built to withstand percussion driving;

Collects static water level data;

Provides a simultaneous log of electrical conductivity with integrated Wenner array;

Sensitive, down-hole transducer measures pressure response of soil to injection of water;

Parameters are displayed and stored on the field instrument for future analysis

HPT is designed to evaluate the hydraulic behavior of unconsolidated materials. As the probe is pushed or

hammered, clean water is pumped through a screen on the side of the HPT probe at a low flow rate.

Injection pressure, which is monitored and plotted with depth in real time, is an indication of the hydraulic

properties of the soil. That is, a relatively low pressure response would indicate a relatively large grain size

and the ability to easily transmit water. A relatively high pressure

response, however, would indicate a relatively small grain size and

the lack of ability to transmit water. Since the pressure transducer is

located down-hole, the HPT system also can be used to collect

profiles of static water pressure data, which can be used to calculate

static water levels. Since the HPT pressure response is analogous

to relative changes in the ability to transmit water (and therefore the

relative change in dominant grain size), the HPT system can be used

to identify potential contaminant migration pathways. Similarly, it can

help identify zones for remedial material injection or provide

qualitative guidance on how difficult injection may be in different

zones of the formation. Static water level calculations can be made

using static pressure and depth data from response testing, as well

as pre- and post-test response data measured at the top of the

reference tube at zero flow. Since the HPT system uses an absolute

pressure transducer to measure in-situ pressures, pre- and post-test

data must be changed to reference atmospheric pressure.

A Wenner array is integrated into the HPT probe. This allows a user

to collect soil electrical conductivity (EC) data for lithologic

interpretation. Generally, EC is inversely proportional to particle size.

That is, clays usually have higher conductivity than sands. Another

rule of thumb is the smaller the particle size of the soil, the lower the

permeability. Thus, EC measurements yield important lithological

information and identify the locations permeable and non-permeable

zones. However, other factors can affect EC, such as mineralogy and

pore water chemistry (brines, extreme pH). Conversely, the HPT

pressure response is independent of the chemical and mineralogical

factors.

2.3 OPTICAL IMAGE PROFILER (OIP)

The OIP is a powerful tool capable of detecting and logging UV induced fluorescence of non-aqueous phase

fuel hydrocarbons in soil with depth. The OIP System is capable of capturing both UV and Visible light

images of soil. The technology uses a high-intensity UV light source that is directed at the subsurface soil

through a sapphire window, which causes hydrocarbons present in the soil to fluoresce. Subsequently an

K6050 HPT Probe

image of the soil is captured by the camera and analyzed for fluorescence. Images can show spatial

distribution of hydrocarbons in the soil matrix. Visible light images of the soil may also be obtained by

switching to a natural light source.

2.4 ULTRA-VIOLET OPTICAL SCREENING TOOL (UVOST®)

UVOST is a technology that delineates petroleum, oil, and lubricant (POL) contaminants in the subsurface.

All the usual forms of POLs, including; gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and hydraulic fluids, can be detected

via the fluorescence response of their polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) constituents. The

fluorescence signal scales proportionally with NAPL concentration. Different types of PAHs will fluoresce

at different wavelengths leaving a characteristic

fluorescence signature (Decay Signature).

Measuring the intensity and wavelength of the

fluoresced PAH allows the operator to assess

the type and relative concentration of PAH

present in the in the subsurface. UV light from

a laser is emitted through a window in the cone

causing hydrocarbon molecules to fluoresce.

Fiber optic cables transmit fluorescence to the

surface where intensity and decay are recorded

every inch vertically. Typical detection limit of

the UVOST system is 10-500 ppm (NAPL type

and soil dependent).

2.5 SOIL CONDUCTIVITY (EC) LOGGING

Soil conductivity and resistivity (the inverse of conductivity) have long been used as tools to classify soils.

The power of this tool stems from the fact that higher electrical conductivities are representative of finer

grained sediments, such as silts or clays, while sands and gravels are characterized by distinctly lower

EC’s. A few site specific core samples, either from discrete depths or a continuous core, can be used to

verify the lithology represented by EC values at a site. The electrical logs are then correlated across the

site to show changes in thickness or elevation of lithologic units of interest. Soil conductivity logging

continues to increase in usage because it can be efficiently performed with the highly mobile and cost-

effective percussion probing equipment.

EC logs are used to define zones of lower conductivity, equivalent to coarser grained, more permeable

sediments, which will allow the movement of contaminants (hydrocarbons, chlorinated VOCs, or metals) in

the subsurface. The lithologic information gathered with the Conductivity System can be used to aid the

investigator in understanding the movement and location of contaminants in the subsurface. This

information will also assist in the proper placement of monitoring or extraction wells.

Electrical Conductivity (EC) theory of operation

A current is sent through the formation between two probe contacts. This current is measured along with

the voltage that results. The conductivity is a ratio of current to voltage times a constant. The resulting

reading is in milli-Siemens per meter (mS/m). The conductivity of soils is different for each type of media.

Finer grained sediments, such as silts or clays, will have a higher EC signal. While coarser grained

sediments, sands and gravel, will have a lower EC signal. The coarser grained sediments will allow the

migration of contaminants and the finer grained sediments will trap the contaminant. The EC system is a

powerful tool when used properly. The EC gives the investigator real-time, on-screen logs allowing onsite

decisions. The features and benefits of the EC logging system are:

Rapid logging of soil lithology in saturated and/or unsaturated zones;

Identifies target treatment intervals for in-situ groundwater remediation;

Real-time, on-screen log during probing;

Eliminates all soil cuttings and waste;

Dramatically reduces the time and cost of site characterization;

Cost-effective alternative to borehole logging or cone penetrometers;

Designed for percussion probing; and

Spreadsheet compatible data storage.

2.6 LOW LEVEL MEMBRANE INTERFACE PROBE (LL MIP)

Low Level MIP (LL MIP) is a technology developed by Geoprobe Systems® that greatly increases the

sensitivity (and therefore utility) of the MIP logging tool. The primary feature of LL MIP technology is that

the carrier gas stream that sweeps the internal surface of the MIP membrane is pulsed. This results in an

increase in the concentration of VOC contaminant delivered to the MIP detectors. LL MIP can be performed

with standard MIP probes, MiHpt probes or with MIP-CPT probes. To perform this method requires the

addition of the MP9000 Pulse Flow Controller in to the existing MIP system.

In standard MIP operation, the carrier gas continually sweeps across the membrane transporting

contaminates to the detectors at the surface. In the LL MIP method, the trunkline sweep flow is temporarily

stopped when the MIP probe is brought to rest at a discrete depth in the soil. Stopping the sweep gas flow

allows the contaminant concentration to build behind the membrane. This results in a larger and narrower

contaminant response peak at the detectors for a given chemical concentration. Low level MIP does not

replace standard MIP logging, but expands MIP capabilities. LL MIP is most useful when low contaminant

concentrations are present. Projects with contaminant concentrations too low to proceed with traditional

MIP methods may be good candidates for investigation using the LL MIP method. This technology will

provide operators with the ability to track and map contaminant plumes down to concentrations at or below

the 100ppb range for some contaminants.

MP9000 Pulse flow controller

2.7 COMBINED MEMBRANE INTERFACE PROBE /HYDROLOGIC PROFILING TOOL (MIHPT)

The MiHpt probe detects volatile contaminants with the MIP, measures soil electrical conductivity with a

standard (MIP) dipole array, and measures HPT injection pressure using the same down-hole transducer

as the Geoprobe® stand-alone HPT system. In post-processing the log data with Geoprobe® DI Viewer

software, the user is able to estimate hydraulic conductivity (K) and water table elevation, as well as prepare

graphical outputs of the log data.

MH6530 MiHpt Probe

2.8 COMBINED MEMBRANE INTERFACE PROBE /CONE PENETRATION TESTING (MIP-CPT)

The combined MIP-CPT probe detects volatile contaminants with the MIP, measures soil electrical

conductivity with a standard (MIP) dipole array, and the CPT tool measures soil resistance on the cone tip,

resistance on the outer sides, and pore pressures generated during the test. In post-processing the log

data with Geoprobe® DI Viewer software, the user is able to prepare graphical outputs of the log data.

2.9 HYDROGEOLOGIC TESTING

ASC can provide infield hydrogeologic testing services. ASC can conduct standard and pneumatic slug

testing. Slug testing is completed through the use of a Geoprobe® Systems GW1600 Pneumatic Slug Test

Kit. The system provides high-quality data for accurate determination of formation hydraulic conductivity

(K). The slug test kit is self-contained and is easily taken from site to site. In pneumatic slug testing, the

well head is sealed and air pressure is used to displace/lower the

water level. As air pressure in the well is increased, the water level

falls until the water pressure "up" and the air pressure "down" are

equal. Once the water level is stable, a release valve is quickly

opened, instantaneously releasing the air pressure. The water

level recovers (rising head test) without splashing and the pressure

transducer and data logger/computer record the changes in water

level and time.
