Box 125 Kaysville, Utah 84037 (801) 444-0029 Phase I ESA – USACOE – S. Pacific Division Laboratory – Sausalito, CA U04-2732/ASGI001 Page 4 December 1, 2004 (Revised 12/20/04) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Advanced Solutions Group, Inc. (ASG) conducted a Phase I Environmental Assessment (EA) of the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) South Pacific Division Laboratory Building located at 25 Liberty Ship Way (Lat. 36.8624, Long. –122.4945) in Marin County, California. This EA was conducted in general accordance with the scope and limitations of ASTM Designation E 1527-2000, “Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site Assessment Process”. No exceptions to or deletions from the ASTM E 1527-2000 standard practice and authorized Scope of Services were encountered. This Executive Summary summarizes the key findings of this assessment based on information and data available to us during the performance of this project. Detailed information regarding these findings is provided in the corresponding section of the text of the report. The report should be read in its entirety to obtain a more complete understanding of the information provided. Site and Surrounding Property Description Summary The Site is a rectangular-shaped parcel, consists of approximately 1.79 acres, and is improved with a two-story unoccupied building. The building was originally constructed in the late-1940s and was originally occupied by the US Army Corps of Engineers South Pacific Division Laboratory. In addition, the Site contains asphalt parking and various interior sumps. The building contains a total of approximately 37,800 square feet. The surrounding property consists of commercial property and a marina, as the Site is located approximately 200 feet west of Richardson Bay. Findings and Conclusions Potential recognized environmental conditions associated with the Site include the following: • Historical Site Usage – A NWP railroad yard and an associated electrical building were on Site since 1909 until the 1950s. The existing Site building was constructed in the late-1940s, according to a previous environmental report and visual evidence on a 1949 aerial photograph. Remnant of the previous railroad spur can currently be seen on Site (east border of Site); however, they are no longer in use. The previous existence of the railroad tracks and electrical building represent a potential recognized environmental concern to the Site due to the nature of their operations. Phase I ESA – USACOE – S. Pacific Division Laboratory – Sausalito, CA U04-2732/ASGI001 Page 5 December 1, 2004 (Revised 12/20/04) • Historical adjacent properties – an oil house, an oil tank, the Marin Shipyards, a gas house, and Plaster Works company. Due to the nature of their operations and their relative locations to the Site, these facilities may have had an environmental impact to the Site. • South Adjacent Property - The Schoonmaker Building is involved with various oil-based wastes. It is cross-gradient; however, it may have impacted the subsurface conditions at the Site. In addition, this facility is on the LUST database and is listed as on-going and having contaminated the groundwater. This leak was discovered in 1994 and remediation is still on- going. Due to the environmental impact and the relative distance from the Site, this facility may impact the subsurface conditions at the Site. • North Adjacent Property – The US Army COE, located at the north adjacent property is involved with PCB waste, asbestos waste, and various metal waste. This facility may have impacted the subsurface conditions at the subject Site. • Nearby Dry Cleaner - Orchid Cleaners, located approximately 200 feet southeast of the Site, is a listed dry cleaning facility. Due to the relative distance of this facility, and

Hitachi Zosen has developed the EPOCH MARK n series which has a unique structure not found on conventional ship designs. Revolutionary in concept, the MARKII incorporates a unidirectional girder system combined with a complete double hull structure. While a ship's hull is customarily designed with a grillage of longitudinal and transverse members for strength, this system uses only longitudinal members in a double hull to provide sufficient strength. This unidirectional girder system results in unprecedented structural simplicity and completely flush surfaced cargo tank interior. MARKII product oil carriers provide unrivaled advantages in performances over more conventional designs. The EPOCH MARK n series is available in 40, 60 and 80 thousands dwt designs. And has won the approval of leading classification societies (ABS, BV, LR, NK, NV). At present The Superior Performance of the EPOCH MARK n Series: many worldwide patents are under application. Conventional EPOCH MARK Hitachi Zosen is also expanding this new structural system for the development of combination cargo carriers such as PROBO or Tank configuration OBO carriers other than oil tankers.

ABSTRACT Shipbuilding in the United States is examined in the context of its productivity problem and the possible solutions offered by modern shipbuilding techniques. Specifically, group technology is applied to naval shipboard piping systems. A nine digit code is developed to iden- tify pipe assembly manufacturing attributes, with emphasis placed on utilization of the code for workload balancing and reduction of setup time. Use of the code for rudimentary shop routing is also discussed. The code is shown to serve as an excellent means of organizing pipe assembly information into a usable data base.

What Hospital Life Taught Alb e rt Curtis CRATTAN CONDON SIX years many things can hap- INpen, especially within the walls of a veterans' hospital. To a variety of experiences, in my own case, I re- sponded in a perhaps not unusual man- ner. But now, once again back in civilian life, I realize how harmful it was for me to indulge in certain moods. For example, in being afraid, in expressing resentment, suspicion, anger and even non-cooper- ation with the hospital staff and with my fellow-patients. Hospital life can be compared to out- side life in this respect, that there are in both so many things to be grateful for, and especially so many good turns to do, that it is actually a waste of time and positively injurious for one to harp on un- pleasant things, and turn them over irra- tionally in mind, as I occasionally did. I remember, for example, the time I was very much wrought up over a trivial matter. It was a bright moonlight night, I confess (with and the moon seemed all the more bril- blushes) that I liant after the night-nurse had made her sassed her back bed-check, and lights on the ward were turned off. I decided therefore to lower the Venetian blinds, and without think- ing of my neighbor, I lowered them. But borly and friendly, not put into practice ing whether I pulled through or not.
