Lafflam : Enclosed is the Sampling and Analysis Plan for the Area I Thermal Treatment Facility . This work plan has been developed as a separate document to be submitted to the regulatory agency in conjunction with Rocketdyne's Area I Thermal Treatment Facility Closure Plan . Soil sample locations proposed in this work plan have been selected using a stratified two dimensional random sampling method . Identified strata include current and former waste management areas within the Area I Thermal Treatment Facility . In addition, random sample locations outside of the known current or former waste management areas have been selected . Implementation of this work plan, including the submittal of a final report will require approximately four (4) months . If you have any questions concerning this plan please contact us .

SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS PLAN AREA I THERMAL TREATMENT FACILITY SANTA SUSANA FIELD LABORATORY ROCKETDYNE DIVISION ROCKWELL INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIO N VENTURA COUNTY, CALIFORNI A INTRODUCTION This Sampling and Analysis Plan has been prepared pursuant to the request of the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (CA DTSC) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) in their Closure Plan review comments for the Area I Thermal Treatment Facilit y at the Rockwell Santa Susana Field Laboratory (US EPA, CA DTSC, 1991) . This Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) also addresses investigation of the Area I Burn Pit Solid Waste Management Unit (SWMU No . 4 .1 .15) as identified in the US EPA Draft Visual Site Inspection Report for the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SAIC, 1991) . Rockwell is submitting this SAP concurrently with a closure plan for the Thermal Treatment Facility including proposed corrective actions for the EPA identified SWMU . The SAP consists of two parts : the site specific Field Sampling Plan (FSP) and the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) . The FSP provides guidance for all field work by defining site specific sampling and data gathering methods . The FSP is included in the main text of this SAP . The QAPP describes organization and functional activities and quality control protocols, and is included as Appendix A of the SAP . BNA0137257 3 HDMSE00620851 GROUNDWATER RESOURCES CONSULTANTS, INC. PURPOSE AND SCOP E The purpose of the SAP is to outline methods to determine the potential presence and extent of subsurface contamination, if any, in the vicinity of the Area I Thermal Treatment Facility . In addition, the SAP includes sampling of physical structures for the purposes of cleanup and closure activities . The scope of work and sequence of events proposed for the program are described as follows : • Sampling of existing physical structures to facilitate removal and disposal in accordance with appropriate State and Federal regulations . • Geophysical survey to determine potential presence of buried metal objects . • Soil investigation including soil sample collection and description of soils encountered during drilling operations . • If shallow groundwater is present, installation of one shallow zone monitor well and collection of two rounds of shallow groundwater samples . • Preparation of site base map . 2 limo II BNA01372574 HDMSE00620852 GROUNDWATER RESOURCES CONSULTANTS, INC . Following completion of the field investigation, all results will be tabulated and summarized in a report presented to Rockwell . FACILITY DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY The Area I Thermal Treatment Facility consists of approximately one acre of land in the southwest corner of Area I of the Rockwell Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) ( Figure 1 ) . The area of investigation is shown on Figures 2 and 3 . This area currently includes two concrete pads, associated berms and a burn pit . The concrete pads and associated berms are no longer used for
