Environmental Priority Service, Inc REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS / EXPERIENCE The professional experience of EPS personnel allows us to provide a wide variety of environmental investigative services The following are several representative projects conducted by EPS personnel for other consultant firms Site specific locations have remained confidential at the client’s request Emergency Response * EPS was contracted by a major pipeline company to determine the degree of surficial water contamination that had migrated to a lake in northeast Texas The contamination originated from a pipeline rupture that occurred approximately 30 miles upstream from the lake Approximately 600,000 gallons of refined gasoline, containing MTBE, was lost during the pipeline rupture Dissolvedphase hydrocarbons, primarily MTBE, migrated within a creek and down into the lake EPS was contacted to utilize its mobile laboratory on site Initially, all water samples were shipped to certified laboratories for rapid 24-hr turnaround results Once it was determined that EPS's mobile laboratory provided quantifiable results comparable to the certified lab's, and that results could be obtained every fifteen minutes rather than overnight, it was determined that EPS's mobile lab would be utilized strictly to analyze all samples Once lake-water contaminant levels had fallen below safe drinking water levels, EPS assisted in collecting soil samples at the rupture site to determine the extent of the soil contamination The project has recently been completed and closed by the State of Texas * EPS was contracted by a major pipeline company to determine the lateral and vertical extent of subsurface soil and groundwater fuel contamination that had migrated from a leaky valve in southeast Oklahoma The valve was repaired and EPS was contracted to perform the consulting work, including a Phase II environmental investigation The soils were profiled down to weathered bedrock layers and piezometers installed to facilitate groundwater collection Soils collected from pvc soil liners, as well as the groundwater collected from the piezometers were examined for fuel staining and odor All samples were then analyzed on-site for fuel voc’s utilizing a mobile lab equipped with a gas chromatograph Splits were also collected for analysis by an off-site lab for comparison Reporting was completed upon receiving lab results, including site maps with testhole locations and analytical results maps to aid remediation plans Several piezometers were converted into permanent inch monitoring wells for continuing monitoring purposes * EPS was contracted by a major insurance company to conduct a Phase II environmental investigation at a fuel tanker turnover site in central Kansas Environmental Priority Service, Inc The tanker had been transporting 8000 gallons of gasoline when the driver lost control of the rig, turning it over and setting it and the ditch of a highway on fire Much of the fuel soaked into the ground Soil samples were collected to determine the lateral and vertical extent of the gasoline contamination utilizing direct push equipment Soil samples were collected from pvc liners and examined for fuel staining and odor The samples were analyzed on-site for gasoline related voc’s utilizing a mobile lab equipped with a gas chromatograph A final report was sent with maps outlining the spill area and analytical results from soil samples taken Recommendations were made for site clean-up strategies * EPS was contracted by a major pipeline company to determine the lateral and vertical extent of subsurface soil and groundwater fuel contamination that had migrated from a leaky valve in central Illinois The valve was repaired and EPS was contracted to perform the environmental consulting work, including a Phase II environmental investigation The soils were profiled down to below contamination and piezometers installed to facilitate groundwater collection Soils collected from pvc soil liners, as well as the groundwater collected from the piezometers were examined for fuel staining and odor All samples were then analyzed on-site for fuel voc’s utilizing a mobile lab equipped with a gas chromatograph Soil samples were collected by pipeline environmental personal during excavation activities A complete Report was provided by EPS, including site maps with testhole locations and analytical results maps to aid remediation plans One piezometer was left in place near the leading edge of the soil contamination plume for evaluation once excavation activities were completed Commercial Real Estate Transfers * EPS was contracted by a large petroleum company to determine the presence and/or absence of any petroleum-related soil or groundwater contamination that may have existed at several of its substations The substations were part of a property transferral to another gas company Both parties involved agreed to contract with EPS personnel to perform the site assessments Under the direct supervision of the petroleum company's consultant firm, ten (10) of the substation sites were assessed within one working week * EPS has been contracted to perform Phase II assessments at various sites throughout the central US Any possible sources of contamination were investigated on the sites or coming from adjacent properties Soils were profiled and lithologies determined Evidence of contamination was noted Soil and groundwater samples were collected and analyzed to determine the existence of any volatile compounds (VOC’s) Final reports were submitted including maps with hole locations and detailed explanations of procedures and findings The properties have currently been sold at the lender's approval Environmental Priority Service, Inc * EPS was contracted by another consultant firm to perform a groundwater investigation at a vacant site in Wichita, Ks The groundwater underlying the property was analyzed at the lender's request to determine the presence or absence of any VOC's It was determined that the groundwater was free of any contamination, and the property was sold * EPS was contracted to determine the existence/absence of any petroleumrelated contamination located within the soil and/or groundwater at a former bulk fuel plant in Abilene, Kansas Several above-ground fuel storage tanks were located throughout the subject property Groundwater samples were collected and analyzed on site It was determined that the groundwater contained no detectable contamination and the property was sold * EPS was contracted to provide sample collection and analytical services for an environmental consulting firm in Wichita, Kansas The consultant firm was hired to determine if an innocent landowner's property was affected by an adjacent service station The service station had underground storage tanks located near the property boundaries Contamination was found to be present on site, thus eliminating any potential property transaction for the innocent landowner A lawsuit has been filed, and at the request of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE), the adjacent service station's owner has been instructed to further investigate the contamination in question * EPS was contracted by a nationwide consultant firm to perform a groundwater and soil investigation at a large manufacturing facility in Sioux City, Iowa The investigation was conducted to determine the vertical and horizontal extent of the previously discovered groundwater contamination The contamination consisted of degreasers and solvents EPS was hired to determine the point source(s) as well as the extent of the plume Once the field work was completed and all data compiled, it was determined that several "hot spots" had been discovered within the groundwater, and three differing contaminant-type plumes did exist This investigation remains ongoing * EPS was contracted by a nationwide consultant firm to determine the lateral extent of the previously discovered groundwater contamination at a site in Omaha, Nebraska An on-site monitoring well, installed within the excavation area of a former 500 gallon underground fuel storage tank, indicated a trace amount of free product floating on the groundwater EPS collected and analyzed groundwater samples to determine the plume's boundaries It was determined that the hydrocarbon plume had not migrated beyond the boundaries of the former excavation area Therefore, the on-site monitoring well was converted to a recovery well, and the property was successfully sold Environmental Priority Service, Inc * EPS was contracted by a real estate company in Salina, Kansas to determine the presence of any fuel or solvent contamination that may be present in the soils and groundwater underlying an old salvage yard they were purchasing A Phase II environmental investigation was performed and a report issued including maps and outlining findings Recommendations were made and a subsequent excavation was performed under the direction of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment utilizing EPS data as a guideline The property was then sold Groundwater Investigations * EPS was contracted by a government agency to perform groundwater sampling at a site in Hastings, Nebraska The project was conducted to determine the configuration of a known groundwater plume to determine whether an additional remedial system should be installed Depth to groundwater was 120 ft., and EPS personnel collected interval water samples from 120’ down to 200’ (and broke several probing depth records in the process!) The groundwater plume was accurately identified, and no need for an additional remedial system was necessary, saving the EPA millions of dollars * EPS was contracted by a nationwide consultant firm to conduct a groundwater investigation at a site near Poplar Bluff, Missouri The site was near a sharp curve in the road within the Ozarks where a tanker truck had overturned spilling over 6000 gallons of gasoline onto the ground and into a nearby creek EPS was contracted to determine the extent of the free product plume as well as the dissolved phase plume EPS collected and analyzed approximately 85 groundwater samples on site within days Both plumes were successfully delineated and the remedial plan approved by the State of Missouri * EPS was contracted by an environmental consultant firm to delineate the petroleum contamination that was found to be present upon the groundwater within two small cities in Oklahoma The domestic water wells were known to be contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons EPS personnel successfully determined the lateral extent of the petroleum contamination as well as the source of the contamination Remediation is currently underway * EPS was contracted by the city of Highland, Indiana, to determine the potential source of the petroleum contamination that was found within the groundwater on the city's property Four major pipeline companies as well as an adjacent landowner were considered potential sources of the contamination Groundwater samples were collected surrounding the suspect area and analyzed The subject area was successfully delineated and a "hot spot" located Once all analytical data was reviewed and plotted, it was determined that the contamination had originated from a landowner up-gradient of the suspect area Monitoring and remedial activities are currently underway Environmental Priority Service, Inc * EPS was contracted by a large consultant firm to conduct a groundwater investigation at a manufacturing facility in Topeka, Kansas Degreasing solvents were the analytes in question at this particular site Upon the recommendation of the KDHE, the out-of-state consultant firm hired EPS to conduct the field sampling and analysis During the investigation, it was noted that bedrock was greatly influencing contaminant migration It was determined that EPS personnel would log the depth to bedrock as well as analyze the groundwater within each testhole Once all field data was reviewed, a bedrock map and subsequent isoconcentration map was drafted It was determined that the area had been successfully delineated and the undulating bedrock surface was indeed influencing the migration of the contaminants within the groundwater Consequently, this mapping of the bedrock aided in determining the location of recovery wells and trenches throughout the site * EPS was contacted by a large consultant firm to conduct a groundwater investigation at a manufacturing facility in Norfolk, Nebraska It was discovered in a previous investigation that a degreasing solvent had leaked from an above-ground storage tank and into the underlying groundwater EPS was hired to determine the later extent of the groundwater contaminant plume Within two days, 56 water samples were collected and analyzed and the entire extent of the plume was successfully defined * EPS was contracted by a large consultant firm to conduct a groundwater investigation at a site in Kansas City, Missouri The investigation was performed for a large petroleum company to determine the existence of petroleum-related contamination near underground storage tanks The groundwater contamination that was discovered was successfully defined within one day * EPS was contracted by a pipeline company to determine the extent of both free-phase and dissolved phase hydrocarbons that were discovered within the groundwater The area of interest was located in central Oklahoma and surrounded a 180,000 gallon above-ground fuel storage tank and subsequent piping Free-phase petroleum contamination was found upon the groundwater and at the ground surface adjacent to the tank It was unknown whether the tank or the associated piping had leaked and caused the contamination EPS personnel successfully delineated the groundwater contamination and located the source It was determined that a faulty pipeline flange (gasket) had caused the leak The pipeline gasket has been replaced and the fuel tank has been currently put back into service Environmental Priority Service, Inc * EPS was contracted by an environmental consultant firm to delineate groundwater contamination at over fifty (50) sites throughout the state of Kansas The sites were all a part of the KDHE state trust fund program for underground storage tank owners KDHE protocol and guidelines were followed, and each site was successfully delineated, thus determining the location for monitoring well installation * EPS was contracted by an environmental consultant firm to collect and analyze groundwater samples at depths of 140’ using the Geoprobe mechanical bladder pump at several sites on University of Nebraska property east of Mead, Nebraska The work was done under the direction of the Environmental Protection Agency * EPS was contracted by a national environmental consulting firm to collect and analyze groundwater samples to delineate multiple

U.S Army Corps of Engineers, to conduct soil sampling at the Shilling Airforce Base in Salina, Kansas Several hundred soil samples were collected adjacent to underground piping and petroleum pump houses The project was successfully performed following the Corps' field sampling protocal * EPS was contracted by a nationwide consultant firm, again under the direct guidance of the U.S Army Corps of Engineers, to conduct soil and groundwater sampling at the former Johnson County Air Force Base near Kansas City Several hundred soil and groundwater samples were collected Environmental Priority Service, Inc * EPS was contracted by a nationwide consultant firm, under the direct guidance of the U.S Army Corps of Engineers, to conduct soil and groundwater sampling at the Fort Riley Army Base near Junction City, Kansas Several thousand soil and groundwater samples were collected and analyzed on site over a period of eight years The projects were successfully completed following all of the Corps of Engineer's guidelines * EPS was contracted by a pipeline company to determine the degree of soil contamination at a spill site near Houston, Texas It was discovered that a pipeline valve had leaked and caused extensive petroleum contamination within the soil EPS was hired to determine the vertical and lateral extent of the contamination so as to provide an estimate of the amount of soil that had to be removed for remedial purposes EPS collected and analyzed soil samples from varying depths throughout the site Upon review of the field analytical data, the estimated amount of contaminated soil believed to be above Texas action limits was successfully determined Remedial activities have been completed and the site has been accepted as clean by the Texas Water Commission * EPS was contracted by a large consultant firm to perform a subsurface soil and bedrock investigation at the former Stapleton Airport in Denver, Colorado Free-phase petroleum related contamination was previously found to be present within the groundwater EPS was hired to determine the lateral extent of the free-phase product, the depth to bedrock within each testhole, and the degree of the contamination within the overlying soil The groundwater contamination was successfully delineated and the bedrock surface contoured It was determined that the bedrock surface had greatly influenced the migration of the contamination * EPS was contracted by a major pipeline company to perform site assessments at several of its booster substations across the midwestern U.S to determine the existence of any petroleum-related contamination that may have been present within the subsurface Twenty-six (26) substations, from Louisiana to Indiana, were successfully investigated and the extent of the contamination defined The project was completed within one month EPS identified several areas of concern surrounding the booster stations and is addressing the problem areas * EPS was contracted by a nationwide consultant firm to determine the vertical extent of the hydrocarbon contamination at two former manufactured gas plants in western Missouri Soil and groundwater samples were collected and analyzed on site Confirmation samples were sent to a certified laboratory to confirm all field data The project was successfully completed within a week CHRISTOPHER J JENSEN
