  1. Aerojet Environmental Update Carmichael Town Hall Meeting March 12, 2008 Michael Girard Aerojet Environmental Site Remediation (916) 355-2945 michael.girard@aerojet.com

  2. Aerojet’s Goals for Remedial Action • Shared Goals - Aerojet and Stakeholders • Meet EPA and State of California goals and objects • Protect the community’s drinking water resources • Halt migration of chemicals • Restore the aquifer • Minimize disruption to Carmichael community • Partnership with regulators, local government, water district and the community • Community outreach • Proceed with the timely planning and implementation of Groundwater Remediation • Identify opportunities for beneficial use of treated water

  3. Path to Successful Implementation • Collaborative Approach to Response • Carmichael Water District (CWD) • Aerojet Corporation • Federal and State Agencies (EPA, DTSC, RWQCB) • Sacramento County • Board of Supervisors • Parks • Water Resources • Real Estate • Development of Mutual Benefits as Part of Project Scope

  4. Path to Successful Implementation • Unique approach to problem solving • Carmichael Water District with full support from its Board quickly responded • Teamed with Aerojet to seek win-win solutions • Protect the Water Supply • Engage with multiple stakeholders • Protect the interests of the Community • Push for timely resolution • Innovative use for treated water benefited CWD customers and the Parks • Multiple project paths resulted in the completion of the Bajamont plant while issues with Ancil Hoffman were resolved

  5. How the Cleanup Process Works Cleaned groundwater is piped underground to discharge point and returned to environment Enclosed treatment filters remove contamination Extracted groundwater is piped underground to treatment facility Surface Water Western Groundwater Movement Extraction well intercepts and stops plume movement Groundwater contamination moves with groundwater flow Groundwater Resource Protected

  7. Carmichael Remedial Action (Area 4) Extraction Well Water Supply Well Fair Oaks Boulevard Sunrise Boulevard Treatment Plant Bajamont GET L-B Landis Ave. Fair Oaks Boulevard Action Needed to Protect Water Supply Wells Palm Dr. Ancil Hoffman GET L-A Bajamont Facility Complete, and Operating Ancil Hoffman Treatment Facility under Design

  8. Ancil Hoffman GET L-A Design Considerations • Established residential and recreational area • Minimal impact to Community (short and long-term) • Limited available land to site well and treatment plant • Use of County land for locating extraction well(s) and treatment plant • Design goals • Minimize visual impacts in natural setting • Minimal impacts to various park uses and activities • Compatible with existing golf course structures • Floodway constraints • Integrate design with CWD Storage Tank Project

  9. Conceptual GET L-A Treatment Plant

  10. GET L-A Schedule Summary • Design, Bidding, Contract Award Now thru June 2008 • Receive Bids / Award Contracts June 2008 • Complete Well and Pipelines July thru Nov 2008 • CWD Constructs Reservoir Mar thru Nov 2008 • Start Treatment Plant Construction Nov 08 or April 2009

  11. Accomplishments • Bajamont Treatment Plant constructed and operating • Ancil Hoffman Treatment Plant location selected • Environmental Documents complete and approved (CEQA) • Lease agreement with County complete and approved • Extraction well and monitor wells constructed • Preliminary facility design complete • Treated water discharge permit approved (NPDES)

  12. Treatment Plant Planned flow of ~ Plant capacity as built ~ Extraction Wells Planned pumping rate ~ Well capacity is ~ Ancil Hoffman 800 gpm 2000 gpm 800 gpm 1200 gpm System Designed for Flexibility Bajamont 600 gpm 1000 gpm 600 gpm 840 gpm

  13. Next Steps • Complete Construction • Facility start-up and optimization process takes 1-6 months • Once system has operated for ~ 1 year an Effectiveness Evaluation is performed and a report is provided to the Agencies • Possible System Adjustment (if necessary) • Modify pumping rates in existing wells • Modify treatment plant equipment • Install new extraction well(s) with associated pipelines
