RE: Proposal for Environmental Consulting and Engineering Services
North Grove Redevelopment Area
McBride Street/ Former Railroad ROW
Elgin, Illinois
Terracon Proposal No. P070355— Rev. 2
Dear Mr. Moller:
Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) is pleased to submit the enclosed proposal to the
City of Elgin to provide professional environmental consulting services related to the
North Grove Redevelopment Area (NGRA) in Elgin, Illinois. Based on our recent
discussions, this proposal presents a revised scope of work to address the City's needs
and budget constraints.
Under the proposed scope of work, Terracon will conduct site investigation work on the
McBride Street / Former Chicago and Northwestern Railroad right-of-way. This ROW
bisects the NGRA and is anticipated to be vacated and made part of the redevelopment
area. Also included in this work scope is the completion of a Phase I Environmental
Assessment of the ROW area as well as the Lamp Construction, Atlas Boiler, and
Convenience Store parcels and the remaining apartment and residential properties
along North Grove Avenue that the City anticipates acquiring for the purposes of
redevelopment.
Terracon has also proposed a task to provide continued environmental coordination and
planning services associated with the NGRA. The purpose of this task is to facilitate
coordination of the work at the various sites that comprise the NGRA, assist the City in
seeking additional funding through Brownfields grants or loans, and developing a master
schedule to assist the City in tracking the progress of the sites in anticipation for
redevelopment.
Delivering Success for Clients and Employees Since 1965
More Than 80 Offices Nationwide

Terracon will conduct the work outlined in this proposal in concert with our overall plan
and strategy for investigation and remediation of the North Grove Redevelopment Area,
consisting of five redevelopment parcels.
Terracon looks forward to working with the City of Elgin to complete this phase of the
City's Brownfield Redevelopment Program. We stand ready to implement a cost-
effective project and will seek out opportunities to minimize environmental clean up costs
to allow the City to maximize its return on its redevelopment investment. If you have any
questions or require clarification of this proposal, please contact the undersigned at
(630)717-4263.

NORTH GROVE REDEVELOPMENT AREA
McBRIDE STREET/FORMER RAILROAD ROW
ELIGN, ILLINOIS
Terracon Proposal No. P070355 Rev. 2
July 20, 2007
I. PROJECT INFORMATION
Pursuant to the project team meeting for the North Grove Redevelopment Area on April 13,
2007, and more recent follow up discussions, the following additional needs have been
identified to address the assembly of the North Grove Redevelopment Area parcels from an
environmental assessment perspective. Key items that have are needed at this time to
advance the Redevelopment Area are summarized as follows:
o Phase I ESA for McBride Street/Former Railroad Right-of Way (ROW) and the Lamp
Construction, Atlas Boiler, Convenience Store, and Remaining Residential/Apartment
Parcels
• Soil assessment for McBride Street/Former Railroad ROW
® Environmental Coordination and Planning Activities
Terracon's recommended scope of work to address the above task are described below.
II. SCOPE OF WORK
The objective of the scope of work is to further advance the parcels that comprise the North
Grove Redevelopment Area (NGRA) to a point where the entire redevelopment area is
adequately assessed regarding environmental conditions. The following items address
portions of the NGRA that have not previously been investigated as part of the site
evaluation process. Where suspected or confirmed contamination is identified, it will be
desirable for the City to complete a comprehensive site investigation and enroll the site(s)
into the Illinois Site Remediation Program to obtain a No Further Remediation (NFR) letter.
The work tasks that will be conducted under this assignment include the following:
o Task 100— Phase I ESA— McBride Street/Former Railroad ROW and the Lamp
Construction, Atlas Boiler, Convenience Store and Remaining
Residential/Apartment Parcels.
• Task 200— Limited Site Investigation—McBride Street and Former Railroad ROW
o Task 300— Environmental Coordination and Planning Activities
Terracon's proposed scope of service to implement the above tasks is provided below:
Task 100--Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA)will be completed for remaining portions of
the NGRA which have been identified by the City to include the McBride Street and Former
(Chicago Northwestern) Railroad ROW, the Lamp Construction, Atlas Boiler, Convenience
Store and the remaining residential/apartment properties along North Grove Avenue.
Terracon recommends proceeding with Phase I assessment of these properties so that
3

McBride Street/Former Railroad ROW
North Grove Redevelopment Area
Terracon Proposal No.P070355 Rev.2
July 20,2007
identified Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) associated with these parcels can
be identified as early as possible and addressed as needed.
The site area to be addressed by the Phase I ESA includes:
• McBride Street and Former Railroad ROW extending approximately 1,400 feet from
Jefferson Avenue south to the intersection of North Grove Avenue and McBride
Street — approximately 2.4 acres. This ROW area includes the dedicated McBride
Street ROW and the former Chicago and Northwestern Railroad ROW.
• The triangular parcel of land south of Summit Street (extended), east of McBride
Street and west of North Grove Avenue. This area currently includes Lamp
Construction (460 N. Grove), Atlas Boiler (424 N. Grove), a Convenience Store and
residential/apartment properties and is approximately 2 acres.
• A rectangular parcel along North Grove Avenue identified as Lot 3 (130 ft by 120 ft)
that currently is occupied by two residential structures.
The site areas are as shown on the attached figure.
The Phase I ESA will be performed to meet the requirements of the ASTM Standard E1527-
05, Standard Practice for Environmental Site Assessments: Phase I Environmental Site
Assessment Process. This ASTM standard reflects the new (2006) All Appropriate Inquiry
(AAI) rule for assessment of properties. The Phase I ESA will develop information to identify
recognized environmental conditions (RECs). The Phase I will consist of the following
components:
• Perform on-site reconnaissance of the site, including a review of surrounding properties;
o Conduct interviews with past owners/operators and City officials to obtain information
indicating RECs associated with the site;
o Collect and review historical use information from reasonably ascertainable sources to
document past land use to 1940 or when the site was initially developed, whichever is
earlier;
• Obtain land title records and conduct a search to include environmental liens and/or land
use limitations;
• Review regulatory records pertaining to the site and off site properties within standard
search radii of the site;
• Review various public records to help identify recognized environmental conditions
associated with the site or surrounding properties;
• Prepare a final report which details the assessment findings, identifies recommendations,
and includes supporting documentation.
As the City has indicated that access is not currently available for all portions of the site,
Terracon has included effort to conduct two phase site reconnaissance visits; so that work
can be initiated on the immediately available parcels (i.e. McBride Street/Former Railroad
ROW) and the subsequent parcels can be evaluated as access agreements are secured.

Work Plan

City of Elgin Terracon Consultants,Inc.
McBride Street/Former Railroad ROW
North Grove Redevelopment Area
Terracon Proposal No..P070355 Rev.2
July 20,2007
Upon completion of the Phase I ESA report, a work plan will be developed to investigate the
site. The work plan will be developed in accordance general protocols of the Illinois Site
Remediation Program (SRP) and will identify sampling procedures, laboratory analytical
methods, and quality control methods for the work. In addition, a site-specific Health and
Safety Plan (HASP) will be prepared to conduct the field investigation activities. The HASP
will be used by Terracon field personnel to guide drilling and sampling activities. The HASP
will provide a list of emergency telephone numbers and directions to the nearest medical
facility in the event of an accident.
Terracon will utilize the Phase I ESA findings to determine the location of proposed soil and
groundwater sampling locations to assess potential contamination source areas. Terracon
will develop the work plan to conduct a general soil assessment within the public right-of-
way.
Soil Assessment
Terracon will utilize generally accepted environmental sampling procedures to assess current
site conditions including advancement of soil borings. GeoProbe sampling will be conducted
as a means of maximizing the production rate of field sampling activity. Based on cost
considerations, Terracon suggests using an initial sampling strategy that collects only one
sample per boring for laboratory.
Terracon has based its cost proposal on completing 12 borings at the site. This scope of
work will allow for a boring spacing of approximately 125 feet along the right-of-way
alignment. Analytical testing will be performed for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi-
volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), and priority pollutant metals (12 soil samples). In
selected areas, notably the vicinity of the Elgin Salvage Yard at 464 McBride, three samples
will also be analyzed for dioxins/furans and PCBs. Further, to assist in evaluation of the data,
Terracon will obtain key data to conduct a Tier 2 Tiered Approach to Corrective Action
Objectives (TACO) evaluation including soil pH and total organic carbon (foc). The proposed
suite of analytical parameters will be reviewed and modified, if necessary, after completion of
Task 100 to confirm its suitability for the site based on additional information obtained.
Assessment of groundwater conditions is not anticipated to be necessary based on the
knowledge that groundwater has been assessed on adjacent parcels both upgradient and
downgradient of the ROW. Standard site characterization methods and field procedures will
include:
O Notification of JULIE, the utility locating service, to identify utilities at the site prior to
initiating intrusive activities. Terracon will also consult with other knowledgeable parties,
including the City's Department of Public Works, who may have information regarding
public utilities in the ROW.
O Soil screening protocols will include use of a photoionization detector (PID) combined
with olfactory and visual screening to select subsurface soil samples.
O Soil cuttings generated during GeoProbe sampling will be returned to the boreholes to
minimize waste disposal costs. For monitoring well installation, soils and purge water will
be containerized and disposed of on a unit cost basis.
O Analytical methods will be in accordance with SW-846 methods; all analytical work will be
performed by an accredited laboratory.

o Terracon expects to utilize Level D personal protective equipment when conducting field
investigation work.
• Terracon will make temporary repairs using asphalt patch where the bore holes go fall
within the existing street pavement. The longevity of such repair of the asphalt pavement
is not guaranteed.
Terracon assumes that the City will provide for or make arrangements for Terracon
personnel to gain access to the site area to conduct the investigation activities. If a portion of
the site investigation area is controlled by a third party, Terracon will provide a standard
access agreement form to secure access rights. Hovva*er, effort associated with extensive
permitting rmqu/remnmn1e, specialized inaononce, or other requirements imposed by the site
owner is not included in the costs proposed herein.
Limited Site lnvestiqation Report
Terracon will prepare a Limited Site Investigation (LSI) report to address RECs and assess
the constituents of concern that are identified during the site investigation activities. The LSI
will describe field methods and procedures implemented along with analytical results from
soil and groundwater samples in order to characterize the lateral and horizontal extent of
potential contamination at the site.
As part of the LSI, analytical data will be compared to TACO Tier 1 soil remediation
objectives to complete a Tier 1 screening. The screening will indicate areas of the site that
exceed residential clean up standards and highlight those areas where additional
assessment by a Tier 2 TACO assessment may be beneficial. Conducting Tier 2 or Tier 3
assessment of the data is not included in this scope of work.
Task 300—Environmental Coordination and Planning Activities
Terracon will continue to develop and refine an overall site closure strategy that is consistent
with the site redevelopment objectives for the sites included in the NGRA.
Services to be provided under this assignment include:
• Participate in up to three project meetings with City representatives;
• Develop and update a detailed project master schedule to track completion of the
sites that comprise the NGRA;
• Investigate grant/loan opportunities available from the IEPA to fund environmental
activities within the NGRA;

various parcels. The property located at 502 North Grove Avenue is included within the twenty
acre redevelopment area and is the farthest advanced in the approval review process with the
Illinois Environmental Pollution Agency. The agency has approved the site Investigation Report
and the Remedial Action Plan. As part of the services proposed by Terracon under the scope of
work, Terracon will complete the engineering services necessary to prepare for the clean-up,
select a remediation subcontractor and conduct the remediation work. Terracon will oversee the
remediation work performed by the subcontractor. When the clean-up is complete, Terracon will
prepare a final Remedial Action Completion Report to document the clean-up activity and
petition the IEPA for a no further remediation letter.
