As per the NJDEP "Historic Fill of the Arthur Kil1 Ouadrangle Map". approximately 5±-acres of the 8-acre parcel appear to have been historically filled. As per our Septcmber 21, 2005 letter to Green Acres (copy enclosed), we will conduct the following investigation: A geophysical investigation will be performed by Advanced Geological Services as a subconsultant to T&M Associates to locate potential underground structures within the subject area. The geophysical investigation will consist of a ground-penetrating radar/electromagnetic investigation of the mapped historic fill area on the subject parcel. The site investigation will be initiated after the geophysical investigation report is completed to determine the test pit locations, Two (2) test pits will be excavated for field observation and soil characterization. The test pits will be excavated through the till material to native soil or meadow mat so that a vertical limit of thc till material can be established. Based on the results of the soil characterization, we propose to takc one sample per strata change for each test pit. We are proposing four (4) soil samples and two blanks samples. Field screening for volatiJe organic compounds (VOC) with a calibrated Photoionization detector (PI D) shall be conducted during the excavation of the test pits, Soil logs of the test pHs wil1 be logged and mapped. T &M will subcontract STL Laboratories in Edison to analyze the fill material for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and Priority Pollutant +40 compounds. During the initial SI, if any contamination is encountered, we will provide a revised sampling proposal to the Borough, as necessary. ¡-!:\Cart\013RO\Correspondence\phase II proposal.doc -aM ASSOCIATES CART-01380 N avem ber 23, 2005 Page 2 Le: John P.

Please fmd enclosed a revised P A that addresses the LUST/UST documentation for which an NJDEP "No Further Action" designation has been approved for these abandoned/removed USTs dated December 17, 1997 (located in Appendix E of the P A report). Per Green Acres request, T &M Associates proposes to conduct a Site Investigation (SI) for the fill material (AOC# 2) associated with the historic fill of Noes Creek. As per the NJDEP Historic Fill of the Arthur Kill quadrangle map, approximately 5±-acres of the 8-acre parcel appears to have been historically filled, As per our telephone conversation on September 14, 2005, T &M Associates proposes to conduct the following investigation: Since the site has been capped with 18" of clean fill during the field rehabilitation, a geophysical investigation will be conducted to locate potential magnetic anomalies within the subject area. The geophysical investigation will consist of a ground-penetrating radar/electromagnetic investigation of the mapped historic fill area on the subject parcel. The site investigation will be conducted after the geophysical investigation report is completed to determine the test pit locations, Two (2) test pits will be excavated for field observation and soil characterization, The test pits will be excavated through the fill material to native soil, meadow mat or bedrock so that a vertical limit of the fill material can be established. Field screening for volatile organic compounds (VOC) with a calibrated Photoionization detector (PID) shall be conducted during the excavation of the test pits, Soil logs of the test pits will be logged and mapped, T&M proposes to analyze the fill material(s) for total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and Priority Pollutant +40 compounds, During the initial SI, if any contamination is encountered, we will provide a revised san1pling proposal to the NJDEP and Carteret Borough, By copy of this letter, we are requesting that the Department contact us by telephone and correspond in writing with our office to determine if the proposed sampìing protocol described in this letter will satisfy the Green Acres Program for the characterization of the historic fiB material.
