FRESNO COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS&PLANNING—RESOURCES DIVISION
2220 Tulare St., 6th floor
Fresno, CA 93721
Subject: Proposal— Draft 2025 DMR Reviews-for AADS, BHDF, CDs, and SERDS, Fresno
County
Dear Mr. Larkin:
At your request, James W. Babcock, Consulting Geologist (Babcock) is pleased to
provide a cost proposal to the Resources Division of Fresno County Public Works &
Planning in their regulatory compliance at American Avenue Disposal Site (AADS), Blue
Hills Disposal Facility (BHDF), Coalinga Disposal Site (CDs) and Southeast Regional
Disposal Site (SERDS), Fresno County, California.
SCOPE OF WORK
Dr. Babcock, will provide consulting services to Resources Division staff for review of the
draft 2025 semi-annual and annual detection monitoring reports (DMRs) by the DMR
consultant to provide alignment of the DMRs with the on-going regulatory compliance at
each of the disposal sites overseen by the Regional Water Quality Control Board
(RWQCB).
Babcock has assisted Resources Division in developing the regulatory compliance
approaches at all of the landfills.
• AADS is regulated under a natural attenuation groundwater remedy negotiated
by Babcock.
• BHDF is regulated by both the RWQCB and the Department of Toxic Substances
Control (DTSC).
• CDS has groundwater impacted by subsurface leakage of petroleum vapors from
the adjacent Jacalitos Oil Field. Babcock's reports obtained RWQCB
concurrence eliminating the need for a Corrective Action Program (CAP).
• SERDS is regulated under a natural attenuation groundwater remedy negotiated
by Babcock.
Babcock is well versed in all aspects of compliance at AADS, BHDF, CDS, and SERDS
from his consulting to Resources Division as a program manager at Malcolm Pirnie,
ARCADIS, and since 2014 as a consulting geologist. He has managed the AADS
corrective action program for Resources Division since 2009, the aquifer exemption and
Class III landfill strategy for compliance at BHDF since 2018, the SERDS corrective
action program since 2011 and analyzed and development the current compliance
