Ross Carolina Power & Light Company PEB 8A5 410 South Wilmington Street Raleigh, NC 27601 Exhibit A Former Sanford Gasification Plant Revised Request for Additional Funds Associated with The Design Sampling and Analysis Plan (DSAP) and Project Management/Miscellaneous Tasks Dear Charlie, Jacques Whitford Company (JWC) has prepared this request for funds to cover additional work required to complete the implementation of the Design Sampling and Analysis Plan (DSAP), develop the Design Sampling and Analysis Report (DSAR), respond to EPA comments on the DSAR, perform project management and miscellaneous tasks as needed (including developing the Remedial Alternatives Evaluation Report [RAER]), and support the Group with efforts required to move forward through the next steps of the EPA process for the Sanford Gasification Plant Site. This proposal was prepared as requested by thc Sanford Gasification Plant Site Group (Group) during our meeting on August 22, 2002 in Raleigh, North Carolina. A summary of the task budgets, costs, and requested funds are summarized in the table below A project budget analysis fbi ail project tasks as of October 27, 2002 is attached as Table 1. .... _Tas~ ! 8u~dget ProjectManagcmcnl i $75,000 and Misccllanc-.us Tasks _ DSA?/DSAR $373 33O ] Estimated Actual Costs Additional as of 10t_27/02) I Costs $141,342I $25~ _ o j ~2oo,0(~)o, Total ] Estimated Requested Cost I Funds $1 )9,342 ; $94,342 $829,560 ~ $456,236 .$_2_00,000 , $200,000 Sanford Gasification Plant Site Group c/o Charles K. Ross Carolina Power & Light Company December 17, 2002 Page 2 .DSAP/DSAR J'W'C submitted a revised proposal to the Group on February 2 I, 2002 that included a request for funds to implement the DS/UP (estimated cost of $325,580) and other field activities (estimated cost of $35,580) for an estimated total cost of $373,330. A copyof the February 21, 2002 proposal is attached for your information. The estimated DSAP costs included a 30% contingency for the step-out approach to delineate soil impacts exceeding the cleanup levels specified in the record of decision (ROD) for operable unit 1 (OUI). The environmental field investigations proposed in the DSAP, inclusive of the 30% contingency for stepping-out, consisted of drilling 147 borings, collecting 308 subsurface-soil samples and 112 surface-soil samples. The actual environmental field investigation consisted of drilling borings at 240 locations and collecting 618 subsurface- soil samples, 166 surface-soil samples, and 28 groundwater samples (via hydropunch). Additionally, approximately 50 borings were drilled at previous locations to collect soil samples at specific depth intervals to better refine or to delineate the vertical extent of impacts. It was anticipated that the DS.AP program would be completed within 8 to 10 weeks. The DSAP field program began in January 2002 and was completed in June 2002. The program duration was increased based on the drilling observations, surface- and subsurface-soil analytical results, and the requirement to delineate impacts to the OU1 ROD cleanup levels. The scope of the hydrogeological investigation was expanded based on subsurface conditions encountered during the geotechnical investigation. Limestone, which was not previously observed in any borings advanced at the site, was encountered at a depth of approximately 70 feet below land surface. The limestone underlies the sand unit that is situated beneath the clay confining unit at the site. The DSAP proposed conducting a short-term (maximum of 4 hours) aquifer test in the sand unit beneath the clay to provide informatiou to evaluate dewalering operations and to allow development ora remedial design that would accounts lbr the artesian condition below thc excavation bottom. The estimated cost for the proposed test assumed that one pumpiug well and two piezometers would be installed and used for the aquifer test. Because limestone was encountered below the clay, the proposed test was modified to include evaluation of the contribution of'the groundwater within Ibc limestone to the overlying sand under a pumping scenario. As a result, one pumping well and seven piezometers were inst:dled and used to monitor water levels during a 24 bout long-term test to eva]u:~t(,/be aft~ct of pumping the deeper sand unit on the shallower sand unit, the deeper sand unSl and the underlying limestone. Other field work that was to be pertbnned during the I)SA}~ included locating and abandoning former product/on wells and performing a hazardous maleriaI survey of the buildings on thc former gas pianl properly. The hazard~m:~ material surv'ey of the Sanford Gasification Plant Site Group c/o Charles K. Ross Carolina Power & Light Company December 17, 2002 Page 3 buildings has not been performed. One well was located on the former gas plant property south of West 6th Street. Tkis well had already been plugged. One well was located on the Bridge property on the north side of West 6th Street. This well had also been plugged previously. Leaking water mains were identified and reported to the city during the search for the former production wells. Several meetings were held with city personnel regarding the water and sewer utilities in the vicinity of the site due to the localized flooding at the site, to gain information for inclusion in the Preliminary Design deliverable; and to identify the city's requirements for design and construction related submissions. City drawings and personnel did not have knowledge or record of storm/sanitary sewer or water mains on West 6th Street in the vicinity of the site. Therefore, .P, VC coordinated and subcontracted Streamline Environmental, Inc. to perform a utility survey in the vicimty of the site. Finally, the DSAP proposal included costs for minimal data reduction for inclusion in the Preliminary Design. Because the volume of impacted material requiring remediation in OU1 more than quadrupled, it was decided that a report presenting and summarizing the DSAP field efforts and data should be developed to assist in reevaluating remedial alternatives to address soil impacts in OU1. The DSAR was developed and submitted to the Group as a draft on July 31, 2002. The DSAR was revised based on Group comments and submitted to the EPA on August 29, 2002. The costs for the DSAP, other field activnies, and DSAR totaled $814,565.87 as of Octobc~ 27, 2002. The Group received EPA comrnents on the DSAR via email dated October ] 0, 2002. JWC will draft a response to comment letter to address EPA comments and will provide a revised text and any revised tables and figurus to the Group and EPA to replace portions of the August 29, 2002 document. Bascd on a review of the EPA commcnts, JWC anticipates providing a draft response to tile Group, revising the response and submitting it to EPA for an estimated cost of $15,000. Tberelbrc, the anticipated tolal cost of the DSAP/DSAR is $829,565.87. The original budget estimated for the I)SAP was $373,330. Therefore. JWC is requesting additional ftmds in tl~e amoum of $456,235.87 to cover the costs Incurred to complete thc DSAP, to develop and subn3il l]~c DSAR to EPA on August 29. 2002, and to respond to the October 10, 2002 EPA ct~nuncnls on the DSAR. PRO.IE(?T MANAGEMENT/M1SCELI.ANEOUS TASKS JWC's l:cb~-oary 21,2002 revised protx~sa] to the Group also included a pro.jccl managelnenl budget which totaled $75,000 Tiffs budget was based on cslinlaled project managcmcm costs of $5,000 per mout]~ for January 2002 through March 2003. The budgel x~as ~o cover monthly progress rcpo~qs, invoicing, conference culls, and Sanford Gasification Plant Site Group c/o Charles K. Ross Carolina Power & Light Company December 17, 2002 Page 4 management meetings for the project. In addition to completing the progress reports and invoicing tasks and participating in conference calls and meetings, JWC has completed several miscellaneous tasks requested by the Group. These miscellaneous tasks were not part of existing task budgets and therefore were included/tracked in the project management task on a monthly basis. The miscellaneous tasks were described in the cover letter attached to each monthly invoice and are summarized below by month. Limited meeting costs were included in the February 21, 2002 cost estimate, however the frequency of meetings was not anticipated and therefore meeting dates are included in the summary below. _January and February 2007 · Provided input and review on the Statement of Work for the RD/RA Consent Decree. · Attended the technical Group February 18, 2002 meeting in Raleigh, North Carolina and prepared meeting minutes. _March 2002 · Attended the Group March 27, 2002 meeting in Raleigh, North Carolina and prepared meeting minutes. · Researched utility records for the site area at the City of Sanford engineer's office .April and May 200? · Participated in telephone discussions with thc Group and EPA regarding field results and efforts to map NAPL/DNAPL north of 4~h Street. · Participated in a site visit on May 2, 2002 with EPA and Charlie Ross to provide EPA a DSAP update. · Developed the list of remedial alternatives for OUI for Group review. · Developed the first draft of remedial action costs for the list of OUi remedial alternatives approved by the Group (included multiple telephone conversations with technology vendors for costing input).

A review of the project management/miscellaneous task budgcl since January 2002 indicates that these tasks have cost approximately $14,000 per lnonth. In order to avoid requesting another an~endmenl to the agreement for services for project manangemenb/miscellaneous tasks this calendar year and Io cover expenses for JWC to prepare for and attend the project meeting with EPA in Tampa, Florida in Dccembe~ 2002, JWC suggests that an additional $28,000 be added to the project managernen1 lask to cover these activities through December 2002 Therefore, JWC is requesting additional pr2ject management funds in the amounl o/-$94,341.92 to cover intruded costs, attend tbe December meeting with EPA in Tampa, Florida and provide project management services through December 2002. Sanford Gasification Plant Site Group c/o Charles K. Ross Carolina Power & Light Company December 17, 2002 Page 7 EPA PROCESS SUPPORT JWC anticipates that the Group will request consulting and engineering support to continue th. rough the EPA process towards remediating OUI and OU2. Because the process for moving forward cannot be specifically defined at this time since the remedy has not been selected, JWC cannot estimate the costs that may be incurred in providing this type of support. Therefore, to avoid approaching the Group for additional funds to cover support activities, PNC suggests that the Group set aside $200,000 to be allocated to JWC on a task-specific basis (to be approved by the Group pr/or to initiation of the task) to cover identified tasks. JWC anticipates that the tasks may include, but not be limited to, responding to the EPA comments on the RAER, reviewing and commenting on the upcoming Fact Sheet, preparing for and attending public meetings, and project management activities such as conference calls, monthly progress reports, and meetings. We appreciate your confidence in allowing us to keep you informed from the field and to adapt to field conditions in order to complete the DSAP and DSAR. We hope that our responsiveness to and our description of the miscellaneous tasks described under the project management task have been satisfactory to the Group. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or additional information you may require regarding this request for additional funds. Sincerely, JAC~/~,UES ~RD C 0 M PANY, INC.
