A. On June 28, 1988, the Orinda Fire Protection District,
contracted with Diablo Tank & Equipment, Inc. of
Martinez, for the removal and replacement of two
underground fuel tanks and one underground waste oil
tank.
B. After the existing tanks were removed, the surrounding
soil was tested and found to be contaminated with
hydrocarbon products. Guidelines established by the San

contaminated soil be removed and disposed of at an
approved Class I disposal site. The extent and quantity

C. The open pit created by the tank removal needed to be
filled as soon as possible to permit continued operation
of Fire District operations and services and to avoid
danger to life or property. Consequently, the necessary
excavation and disposal of the contaminated soil was
started on November 28, 1988, and was accomplished by the
tank removal contractor, who was already on the site and
who was familiar with the disposal process and
regulations. As soon as excavation of the contaminated
soil was completed and the remaining soil was tested and
found to be acceptable, the pit was quickly backfilled
with imported fill material.
D. The normal formal bid process would have required a two
month delay in completing the work, which was
unacceptable because of the open excavation and the need
to restore full use of the facility.
