High Definition Scanning Our survey teams are able to capture project detail quickly, accurately and safely without multiple site visits. Sites can also be modeled for as-built validation and documentation. High Definition Scanning (HDS) analyzes a real-world object or environment to collect data on its shape, appearance (i.e. color), and three dimensional measurement. The collected data can then be used to construct digital, three- dimensional models useful for a wide variety of applications. HDS enhances output and enables designers to experience and work directly with real-world conditions.

• 3D data capture of all visible features • x,y,z engineering measurements • Fast, accurate, and remote data collection • 3D CAD and 2D drawing extraction • Full panoramic, full color outputs • Data analysis (volume, clash, etc.) • Compatible with GPS and geo-referenced data • Hazardous environmental data collection

White Shield, Inc

HDS provides an easy way to accurately identify differences between actual construction and the design model of complex, exacting facilities. Using these tools, engineers can successfully avoid significant field-related construction conflicts that would otherwise have led to schedule extensions and additional project costs. Topographic and Control Surveys Our surveyors employ a cost efficient, field-to-finish system to provide the highest quality data in the least amount of time. We utilize the latest survey technology such as robotic total stations, Global Positioning System (GPS), digital levels, and scanners. Our professional survey staff is experienced in the application of this technology and survey theory for boundary, topographic, site development and design support, and construction services.

• Control Survey (GPS and Conventional) • As-Built Surveys • Topographic Mapping • Cadastral and Boundary Surveys • Construction Staking • Tunnel Layout and Monitoring • Aerial Survey Control • Settlement Monitoring • Right-of-Way Surveys • Quantity Surveys

Our staff includes professional land surveyors, certified survey technicians, and construction surveyors. Our staff is among the best trained in the Pacific Northwest, employing the latest survey technology in highway, tunnel, industrial, environmental, public works, and construction projects. Subsurface Utility Mapping & Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Our engineers and survey technicians are knowledgeable and experienced in working with ground penetrating radar (GPR), electromagnetics, and magnetics. They are able to provide the necessary geo-referenced information to locate buried utilities to avoid conflicts during excavation activities, and design or construction of new utility lines. In SUE applications, potholing of the GPR identified anomalies is performed to map the exact depth, location, and to identify the underground utilities. In environmental remediation, it is used to define landfills, contaminant plumes, buried drums, underground storage tanks (USTs), and pipelines and conduit that could transport wastes from the spill location. In engineering and construction applications, the expense of GPR investigations is easily justified in the face of discovery of unknown utilities that create work stoppages and change orders.

White Shield, Inc Subsurface Utility Verification Projects

Using our knowledge and experience with regards to utility construction, White Shield utilizes a variety of equipment to determine the presence of subsurface utilities and obstructions. These services include:

• Subsurface Utility Verification • Utility Locating and Mapping • Underground Storage Tank Locating • Dry Wells • Borehole Clearance • Rebar Mapping • Concrete Assessment for Walls, Floors, and other

structures for conduit and reinforcing Our certified technicians are knowledgeable and experienced working with ground penetrating radar (GPR), electromagnetics, and frequency detection equipment. The pipe and cable locators are used in conductive or inductive modes to search for buried conduits. We also perform surveys to search for buried active electrical lines. GPR is used to search deep into the soil (up to 30 feet) for buried utilities and obstructions. They are able to provide the necessary geo-referenced information to locate utilities to avoid conflicts during excavation activities, and design or construction of new utility lines. We also use a high frequency GPR device to map concrete floors and walls. The equipment we employ includes:

• Ground Penetrating Radar; GSSI Utility Scan with 400 Mhz antennae with SIR 3000 controller/data collector

• Electromagnet Induction: Metrotech 810DX Pipe and Cable Locator using 83kHz receiver/transmitter, Or Schonstedt XTpc+ using 33 kHz and 82kHz for inductive detection.

• Frequency Detection for Energized Lines: Schonstedt XTpc+ using 50/60 Hz for passive detection of energized lines.

• Rebar Location In Concrete; GSSI Palm Scanner at 2000 MHz with SIR 3000 controller/data collector

In environmental remediation, it is used to define landfills, contaminant plumes, buried drums, underground storage tanks (USTs), and pipelines and conduit that could transport wastes from the spill location. In engineering and construction applications, the expense of subsurface investigations is easily justified in the face of discovery of unknown utilities that create work stoppages and change order

Wanapum Dam Repairs Concrete GPR Scans, Vantage, WA; Max Kuney Construction for Grant County PUD

In response to cracks within the Wanapam Dam structure, White Shield provided scans using GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) to detect the scope and range of cracks and leaks. Deliverables included markings on ceiling, walls, and floors to depict locations of scanned anomalies found. Scans were performed by a 2 man crew and took place during 10 hour days, between 6 – 8 areas scanned per day, on scaffolding and ladders reaching up to the 10’ ceiling height. Additional scans were performed periodically during repair efforts to find conduit and rebar within the concrete structure

The crack was discovered in February, and PUD officials immediately dropped the water level to relieve pressure on the cracked spot. Fixing the underlying design problem involves installing 35 cables (cable bundles) across the entire face of the dam, adding up to three cables per pillar. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, which oversees the Columbia River hydropower system, is mandating the crack be fixed and each pillar to have at least one cable installed before the PUD will be allowed to raise the water. While trying to find out what caused the crack, PUD officials discovered an error in the original design calculations, which meant repairs were required across the entire structure. As of Nov. 7, the PUD drilled all the pilot holes for the cables, and 13 cables have been installed, meeting FERC requirements, and the anchor bars in the damaged portion are being installed as well.

covering the 8 areas of interest (AOI). Watershed Sciences set the monuments prior to the LiDAR acquisition for two of the AOIs and provided White Shield with the coordinate location of all bases. White Shield monumented the remaining AOIs. Nursery Bridge Fish Facility, Milton-Freewater, OR; TetraTech EC for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Walla Walla District In 2005, White Shield supported Tetra Tech EC and the USACE Walla Walla District in collecting 25 river cross-sections spanning a ±21,000 feet reach of the Walla Walla River near Milton-Freewater, Oregon. The cross-sections were used for hydraulic modeling by Tetra Tech EC for study of the Nursery School Bridge (Eastside Road) fish structure sediment problem. The survey provided current topographic information needed to assess fluvial geomorphologic changes along this reach of the river since it was last surveyed in 2003. Cross-sections were typically 250 – 300 feet long between flood control levees, and were all located approximately perpendicular to the centerline of the Walla Walla River. Project highlights included layout and monumentation of 17 existing cross-sections by coordinates and 8 new cross-sections from aerial photography, using RTK GPS and manual ground data collection methods. In 2007, White Shield was assigned another task order to perform a topographic survey of the first 2000 feet downstream of the Nursery Bridge drop structure’s end sill between landward edges of the top of each levee. The survey included important features such as the centerline of wetted channel, edge of water, top of bank, toe of bank, breaks in grade, top of levee, toe of levee, bank protection, and areas of vegetation. A topographic map was developed with one-foot contour intervals. In addition to the topographic survey, nine cross-sections established in 2005 between McCoy Bridge and the end-sill were resurveyed. RTK GPS was used to layout these previously surveyed cross-sections. Cross-section data was collected using the “stake to line” feature. Monuments were found as previously noted and photographed in 2005. In obstructed canopy areas, manual data collection used a Geodimeter Total Station. During the spring runoff in 2011, additional erosion was reported in the project design footprint. There was determined to be approximately two feet of additional degradation throughout the project area, including the downstream end. Also considered was the possibility for a continued trend of degradation. White Shield provided a topographic survey between the levee toes of approximately 350 feet of river reach to assist in the design of the downstream end of project (from about station 22+57 to station 26+00. The design specifications also need to be revised to include a requirement for an additional topographic survey during construction between the levee toes to document pre-existing site conditions, which would enable a comparison with 2011 survey results for changed site condition from the 2012 runoff season. The acquired topographic survey data was submitted as a MicroStation design file format as well as the original ASCII field data. Whidbey Island NAS Wetland Delineation Survey, Whidbey Island Naval Air Station, WA; Ecology and Environment, Inc. for the US Navy White Shield supported Ecology and Environment under this contract for surveying services at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

The RI/FS work plan and related documentation featured potential site remedial technologies that included soil and groundwater cleanup options to meet MTCA cleanup standards. A transient solute groundwater model was developed to accurately describe the site’s aquifers and an irrigation canal that transects the site creating a complex hydrologic condition at the site. White Shield also coordinated with the property owner, Washington Department of Ecology, EPA Region X, and local residences in order to investigate and monitor the site’s soil and groundwater. Presently, the site is undergoing long-term groundwater monitoring and sampling while a Corrective Action Plan and final consent decree is being negotiated. Groundwater monitoring and sampling activities are scheduled on a quarterly basis as outlined in the Site Sampling and Analysis Plan. Upper Columbia River Field Investigation and Sampling; CH2M Hill for the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10 White Shield provided CH2M-Hill with a Sample Processing Coordinator for the Upper Columbia River Sampling Project in order to coordinate sediment sample processing and packaging, development of Chain of Custody and Forms II Lite documentation, arrangement of shipment and transport, and assistance with the sample collection activities. A subsequent task order directed the collection of fish tissue samples from within six different sampling areas. The fish were collected by a variety of methods including electro-fishing, gill netting, and traps. The collected fish were transported to a central processing area at the Kettle Falls Marina where they were weighed, measured, catalogued, filleted, and packed for shipment. The Coordinator position required an understanding of CLP procedures and the CLP Guidance document ("CLP Guidance for Field Samplers", OSWER 9240.0-35, Aug 2004) and familiarity with laboratory analytical procedures and QA/QC considerations. Dye Testing, Washington Potato Plant, Warden, WA; El Oro Beef Feeders White Shield is providing project management support and annual dye testing at the Washington Potato processing plant to determine the potential for sanitary sewage contamination of the process wastewater stream. The solids in the process water are filtered out and sent off for cattle feed, and no sanitary contamination can exist in the process water. Fluorescent dye is place into potential sources of contamination, and the outfall for the process water is monitored for traces of the dye. A control test is conducted by placing dye in the process water to be certain that the dye is visible should cross-contamination be present. Potential sources of contamination consist of approximately 40 known sanitary waste plumbing fixtures.

Lead Paint Abatement Projects White Shield, Inc

Lead Contaminated Soil Analysis & Removal, North Head and Point Wilson Lighthouses, Ilwaco and Port Angeles, WA; United States Coast Guard White Shield conducted a lead-contaminated soil Investigation and removal at these two USCG lighthouses on the Washington coast under its GSA Schedule 899 Environmental Services contract. The source of the elevated lead concentrations in the soils was due to paint chip debris from the active lighthouse structures. WSI was contracted by the USCG Civil Engineering Unit (CEU) Oakland to conduct further sampling and analysis, and to excavate the areas of impacted soil around the perimeter of the lighthouses and oil houses. At the North Head Lighthouse, excavations ranged from a depth of six to twelve inches, dependent on previous X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) readings. Sampling and additional XRF analysis was conducted periodically at the bottom of the excavations to verify that the majority of the impacted soils was being removed using the current excavation methods. A total of 55 tons of contaminated soil was removed, stabilized, and transported to an approved disposal facility. At the Point Wilson Lighthouse, WSI performed an updated soil characterization inspection to establish what changes have occurred to the lead concentration levels in the soil since the last inspection in 2000. A portable XRF analyzer was used to provide real-time (in-situ) readings of lead concentrations at 30 sampling locations. Five discrete soil samples were also collected for analysis. Upon comparing the current results with the data submitted in the June 2000 investigation, a large increase in Pb levels was clearly shown, averaging 77% across the site. WSI submitted a detailed summary, and recommended actions to mitigate further contamination and remediation of the site.

and Cleanup Projects

White Shield, Inc

State Route 504 Shunt Reactor Cleanup, Castle Rock, WA; USDA Forest Service This project involved the cleanup of contaminated soil caused by a leaking shunt reactor transformer along State Route 504 at approximately milepost 24.1. The USFS initially estimated that approximately 100 cubic yards of soil would need to be removed from the project site, on the northwest corner of the concrete shunt reactor basin. The first set of soil samples were taken to establish a baseline, and to assist in determining how far the excavation would need to extend. Sample 1 was taken from the obvious contamination, on the northwest side of the shunt reactor, returning results of 17000 ppm mineral oil. Samples 2, 3 and 4 were taken in steps down gradient; these samples were analyzed with results indicating non-detect (ND). The USFS was contacted regarding the lack of contamination at the site, and at their direction, White Shield removed an estimated 1/8th yard of soil from the area, which was place placed into a 55 gallon steel drum for disposal. Samples were then taken in the soil removal area; Sample 5 was the confirmatory sample, results showing ND for mineral oil. The drum was lifted out of the area and into a truck, and disposed of at the Weyerhaeuser disposal site in Longview WA. A mobile analytical lab was mobilized to the site to expedite sample results, and a private locate company was engaged to locate underground utilities. The site was returned to original grade with backfill and compaction done in 6” lifts.

White Shield responded on short notice to the spill site and coordinated the excavation and removal of over 500 tons of petroleum contaminated soils. Following excavation, White Shield sampled the remaining soils to determine if petroleum contaminated soils remained. Difficulties at the site included not being able to excavate immediately adjacent to the highway close to pavement in order to prevent undermining of the heavily traveled highway and maintaining traffic flow along the highway. White Shield coordinated with the Washington State Department of Ecology, Washington State Department of Transportation, R.H. Smith Distributing, and the Federated Insurance Company.

Paradise Inn UST De-commissioning, Mt. Rainier National Park, Paradise, WA; National Park Service During a planned re-design and construction of the Paradise Inn, the main lodge in Mt. Rainier National Park at Paradise, Washington, it was found that two underground storage tanks (USTs) and some related lines that supply heating oil to the facility were leaking. White Shield assisted Watts Construction and the National Park Service in overseeing the removal of the tanks and remediation of the project site. The regulatory agency responsible for this project was the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department (TPCHD). Evidence of impacted soil was found around the UST fill ports, and in the already excavated area underneath the Paradise Inn dining room. Odors of impacted soils were also reported by personnel on-site east of the north-south oriented portion of the inn, and demolition of a sump in the boiler room needed to be halted when it was found to be partially filled with free-liquid heating oil. Further removal of piping underneath the building was determined to increase the likelihood of unintended spillage, due to the many yards of intertwined supply pipes. TPCHD concluded that careful abandonment with the pipes being drained and capped was the most reasonable solution, and was left to National Park Service and Project Manager discretion. The tanks will be pumped and stabilized for transportation to a storage area to be cut and cleaned before transportation out of the park. Webster Nursery Groundwater Monitoring and Monitoring Program Development, Tumwater, WA; Washington State Department of Natural Resources White Shield provided post–remedial action groundwater monitoring services at a former pesticide warehouse located at the DNR Webster Nursery in Tumwater, Washington. The nursery covers approximately 270 acres but the area of concern, a former pesticide storage building, is approximately 1/3 acre in size in the southeast corner of the nursery. A floor drain system at the former pesticide warehouse directed any spills or wash water to a concrete underground storage tank outside the building. In 1982, DNR upgraded the concrete underground storage tank with a metal underground storage tank. The metal underground storage tank was removed in July 1996, and about 70 cubic yards of pesticide-contaminated soils were removed and disposed of. Four groundwater-monitoring wells were installed in August 1996. Several pesticides, some of which were above cleanup standards, were detected in three of the four monitoring wells. In 1998, DNR entered into an Agreed Order with the Department of Ecology to perform a Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) at the site. Additional wells were installed during this investigation. Following the RI/FS, a Corrective Action Plan was developed to monitor six monitoring wells at the site on a semi-annual basis. White Shield performed semi-annual groundwater monitoring at the six wells. Low levels of heptachlor epoxide remained in one of the wells and White Shield worked with DNR and Ecology to develop an easy cost effective method for removing the contamination. Options included the addition of sugar to the wells to stimulate microbiological activity and naturally attenuate the remaining pesticide. In addition, White Shield reviewed the hydrogeologic conditions at the site and developed a site wide-groundwater monitoring program for DNR to voluntarily implement to make sure that current activities at the site are not impacting the regional groundwater. The program involved sampling one new well and eight existing wells throughout the site which are not associated with the warehouse remedial action. White Shield oversaw the installation the new well which is down gradient of an infiltration pond that collects run-off from a large greenhouse at the site.

USFS Underground Injection Control (UIC) Decommissioning Activities, Troutdale Air Tanker Base, OR; USDA Forest Service, Mount Hood National Forest The Troutdale Air Tanker Base is a USFS-owned administrative unit, managed under the Zigzag Ranger District of the Mount Hood National Forest. The site consists of a 9.65-acre parcel adjacent to the Troutdale Airport in Troutdale, Oregon. The Troutdale Air Tanker Base was in use from 1984 through 2013 for aerial fire suppression support for wild-land fires throughout the Pacific Northwest. Air Tanker Operations at the site ceased in 2013. The six UICs at the site were associated with a grated aircraft wash water collection trench that runs along the western edge of the tanker loading ramps on the figure-8 aircraft apron that constitutes a large portion of the property. Cleaning of the wash down trench and six UICs generated approximately 4.75 tons of waste sediment. Removal of the six UIC structures generated approximately 14 cubic yards of waste concrete. Rather than containerizing the generated waste in a single 10-cubic-yard box, the sediment was placed in a 10-cubic yard box and the concrete was placed in two 20-cubic-yard boxes for load weight distribution purposes. In addition, since the sediment and concrete were placed in separate containers, the concrete debris was able to be transported offsite for recycling rather than disposal. The UIC closure meets DEQ closure requirements (OAR 340-044-0040) and OWRD abandonment requirements (OAR 690-240-0030) for UICs. Spill Characterization and Site Cleanup, Manson, WA. Okanogan – Wenatchee National Forest. White Shield personnel responded to an emergency call from the USFS following the spill of approximately 30 gallons of diesel fuel onto private lands by a helicopter supporting local wildfire suppression activities. The fuel was contained in six jerry cans, which ruptured when they were accidently dropped by the helicopter while transporting the fuel to the active fire line. Mr. Rodgers reported to the site, identified the spill area, collected surface soil samples for analysis, and covered the affected area with plastic sheeting to retard further infiltration in the event of rain. Following his analysis of analytical data, Mr. Rodgers directed the excavation of the affected soils, regrading and reseeding of the disturbed areas, and disposal of contaminated soil at the Wenatchee landfill. A summary report documenting the cleanup effort was prepared. Marijuana Grow Site Cleanup, Wild Rivers Ranger District, OR, Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest Two marijuana grow sites discovered in the area were eradicated in September, 2015. The White Shield Environmental team originally reported to Grants Pass, Oregon on October 24, 2016. Poor weather conditions the following day prevented the use of the helicopter that had been chartered to haul refuse from the staging area, where it would be loaded into a truck. Given deteriorating weather conditions and impending winter, the cleanup effort was postponed until the summer of 2017, when weather conditions were likely to be more consistent and more favorable for the field effort and helicopter support. The team hiked from USFS roads down 1000 vertical feet to the sites. Several thousand linear feet of plastic irrigation hose was gathered, along with a wide assortment of domestic garbage including paper, tinned food, cans, bottles, and plastic. Approximately 50 pounds of bagged fertilizer was also removed from the site. The refuse was wrapped and placed in a sling for transport by helicopter, and flown to the staging area where it was loaded into a truck. All visible refuse and debris, approximately 1000 pounds, was collected and hauled from the staging area to the Hillsboro, Oregon Landfill for disposal. Manifests are attached. No hazardous materials were observed on the site at the time of the cleanup effort. No stressed vegetation was noted on or surrounding the former grow site.

Phase II Environmental Assessment and Tank Removal, Vashon, WA; K2 Corporation White Shield (WSI) provided K2 Corporation with a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment at their facility located on Vashon Island. WSI installed eleven borings at selected locations around the facility to investigate the potential for soil and/or groundwater contamination. All borings were advanced using a “Geoprobe” drill rig. The drill rig pushed a 2 inch “probe” to depths of approximately eight to twelve feet below ground surface. At each fourfoot interval, samples were collected for possible chemical analysis. The soil was visually examined for evidence of contamination and screened using an Organic Vapor Analyzer (OVA). Upon reaching groundwater a temporary 1-inch diameter well was placed in the boring and the water sampled for the location specific contaminants of concern. WSI also performed a Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and magnetic survey to determine the exact location of a 300-gallon heating oil tank and to determine if a second tank was present. WSI’s Certified Site Assessor and a Certified Tank Decommissioner (Central Environmental Construction) cleaned, decommissioned, removed and disposed of the tank. WSI visually checked the soils beneath the tank and piping for signs of leakage, and collected five clearance samples from the sidewall and base of the tank excavation for diesel/heavy oil analysis. Approximately one hundred cubic yards of petroleum contaminated soil was excavated for disposal. Contaminated soil had migrated under the building at the site, and WSI is working with K2 and the Washington State Department of Ecology on a plan to address the future soil remediation. Genesee Union Hardware Store Fueling Station, Genesee, ID; Central Environmental Construction for Pacific Northwest Farmer Cooperative White Shield (WSI) provided site assessment and remediation oversight services at the Genesee Warehouse (now Pacific Northwest Farmer Cooperative) Facility in Genesee, Idaho. Upon lifting one of the gasoline aboveground storage tanks, it was discovered that a hole approximately 2 inches in diameter was present in the bottom of the tank. Following tank removal, WSI began excavating petroleum-contaminated soils from the site. As excavation progressed, it was discovered that the contaminated soils extended to the depth of at least 10 to 14 feet below the former base of the tank and also below the depth that groundwater was encountered, approximately 11 bgs. To facilitate the remediation WSI submitted a plan to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality requesting approval to dewater the excavation and remove contaminated soils to a depth of 14 bgs. WSI removed approximately 7,000 gallons of water from the excavation and placed it in a former diesel tank for on-site air stripping treatment. Upon completion of the excavation, WSI collected 10 samples from the base of the excavation and 17 samples from the sidewalls to determine if the contaminated soils had been removed. Sample analyses results were used to run the Idaho Risk Evaluation Model (REM) for Risk Based cleanups. The results returned indicated that the site posed a risk greater than is allowed by the State of Idaho Cleanup Regulations. Additional excavation was performed and a total of approximately 7800 cubic yards of soil were removed. Additional samples were then collected from the base and the sidewall of the excavation and were also used in the REM. The results of the REM showed the soil was no longer an exposure pathway of concern. As a result the excavation was backfilled and a plan to install groundwater monitoring wells was submitted to the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality.

Remedial Investigation for Gasoline Leak, Smitty’s Conoco, Kennewick, WA; RH Smith Distributing White Shield provided a Hydrogeologist and Project Manager for the investigation and remediation of a 6500-gallon gasoline leak at a service station in Kennewick, Washington. The site is within the Wellhead Protection Area for one of the City’s municipal drinking water wells. To date the investigation has included sampling of soils in trenches used for fuel distribution lines, the installation and sampling of four groundwater-monitoring wells to determine if groundwater was impacted by the release, and the design and installation of a product recovery system to recover floating product found on the groundwater. Two of the wells were constructed as 4 inch wells to facilitate floating product removal. White Shield’s Project Manager designed a state-of-the-art product recovery system, using a floating skimmer and pump that will remove floating product but will not capture water should the water level rise above the intake of the skimmer. The system is automated to maintain 24-hour operation. Additional support included the installation and sampling of three additional groundwater-monitoring wells at the site to further delineate the extent of the groundwater plume. All work is being coordinated with the City of Kennewick, the Washington State Department of Ecology, and the insurance carrier for R.H. Smith Distributing. UST Management Services, Washington State Defense Facilities; US Army Corps of Engineers White Shield performed services for the preparation of work plans, health and safety plans, remedial investigations, sampling and analysis, reporting, and site monitoring of activities associated with the removal of underground storage tanks for the Defense Environmental Restoration Program. Sites included Geiger Field Airbase, George Wright Air Base, Larson Air Force Base, Fort Lewis, and former NIKE Missile Sites. The project required services for nearly 1,000 USTs including aircraft fuel, heating oil, and gas and diesel systems. Stehekin Boat Landing UST Removal/Remediation, Stehekin, WA; National Park Service The National Park Service discovered gasoline-contaminated soil during the excavation of a trench adjacent to the Stehekin boat landing. As a result, White Shield managed the removal of two underground storage tanks and 275 cubic yards of contaminated soil. Due to the remote nature of the site, the cleanup process was directed based entirely upon field screening results. Contaminated soil was removed from the site and transported to a bio-treatment site that was constructed near the site. The project required mobilizing personnel and equipment to this remote site by air and water, utilizing limited resources. White Shield’s quick response and timely completion was successful in removing UST’s and contaminated soils before rising lake levels flooded the site, thus preventing a release to surface water. Hanford 300-Area UST Removal, Hanford Nuclear Reservation, Richland, WA; Washington Closure Hanford, LLC for the US Department of Energy White Shield supported Washington Closure Hanford with the removal of an abandoned 5000 gallon UST in the 300-area of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. The tank, located at Facility 3621D that is slated for demolition, was formerly used to supply diesel fuel for large generators, and was emptied and placed into temporary closure in 2007. This decommissioning process was required to be completed prior to the facility demolition.

Underground Storage Tank (UST) Investigation and Soil Sampling Report, Moses Lake, WA for POW Contracting and City of Moses Lake The Heating Oil Tank (HOT) was discovered during the excavation for the installation of new lines for a force main, water line, and sanitary sewer for the City of Moses Lake, WA. The 8,000 gallon underground HOT was on the site between existing buildings. WSI provided oversight of the tank removal and soil sampling report to determine if Petroleum Products had been released into the soil over time. Underground HOTs are not regulated by the EPA or the Washington State Department of Ecology and sampling nor testing is required unless a leak has occurred. We conducted the sampling of three locations underneath the HOT after its removal. Samples were collected from approximately 12.0 ft. below ground surface. The tank excavation and removal activities were fully documented during extraction and all photographs and videos collected were provided to POW Contracting.

Section 4 HIGH DEFINITION SCANNING

White Shield, Inc High-Definition Laser Scanning

White Shield survey and mapping experts have the capability to capture details on projects of any size utilizing our suite of High Definition Laser Scanners (HDS). Our scanners use laser measurement technology to collect large amounts of highly detailed, survey quality data, quickly, efficiently and safely. High Definition Laser Scanners (3D) are a class of instruments that record very precise and accurate surface data of objects in a non-destructive manner. Based on LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology, these instruments use an infrared beam of light to calculate and record the distance to any object, typically as data points with spatial coordinates. Several types of HDS exist to digitize objects of various sizes ranging from small diagnostic artifacts to large, complex sites of monumental architecture. Given the speed of these instruments, large numbers of data points can be collected quickly and at a high sampling interval (or density) across the surface of an object to create a highly accurate 3D digital model.

The three dimensional models created from the field data can be as basic or highly detailed as desired and more data can always be harvested from the original field scan. These three dimensional models provide the end user with a dimensionally accurate design tool and are useful for a wide variety of applications including topographic base maps for engineering design, as-built surveys for retro-fit projects, complex plant mapping, view corridor analysis, preservation and documentation of historical structures and much, much more.

HDS advantages include:

• 3D data capture of all visible features. • Fast, accurate, safe, complete, remote data collection. • Full color panoramic outputs. • Raw Point Clouds are conveniently viewed using a variety of available software. • Data can be exported to 2D or 3D CAD formats. • Simplified data analysis for complex tasks such as volume calculations and clash detection. • 5 mega pixel, full dome, still photography. • Integrated real time streaming video with zoom.

Cost Saving Benefits

High-Definition Surveying offers many benefits to the measurement professional and end users of this accurate spatial information. Civil engineers, plant designers, CAD professionals, architects, contractors, forensic investigators, archaeologists, and owner/operators will all reap the added-value benefits that HDS provides.

White Shield’s Leica C10 scanner provides significant cost savings by:

• Delivering survey grade data over a broader area more thoroughly than conventional methods.

• Reducing costly return visits to project sites to obtain additional or missing data.

• Highly accurate and complete as-builts for retrofit design projects give designers the data necessary to factory-fabricate dimensionally correct components eliminating the need for additional field fitting.

• Minimal interruptions and downtime of client facilities due to rapid unobtrusive data acquisition and scene capture.

• Providing highly detailed, precise models of complicated environments that would be cost prohibitive using conventional techniques.

• Enhancing worker safety by minimizing or eliminating intrusion into hazardous areas.

• Cutting traffic control budgets by up to 100% in many cases. • Accurately identify differences between the design and construction of

complex, exacting facilities.

 Manning Crevice Bridge Replacement, Riggins, Idaho; Western Federal Lands Highway Department  Manning Crevice Bridge  is a 248‐foot  long one‐lane  suspension bridge with  timber  support  towers crossing  the Salmon River 13.5 miles  from US  95.    The  bridge  was  constructed  in  1936  and  the  current sufficiency/load  rating  for  the bridge has  continued  to degrade.      The project  site  is  located  in  a  steep,  rocky  section  of  the  Salmon  River Canyon.   White  Shield provided  survey  services  to  support  conceptual and preliminary design, hydraulic studies, and floodplain analysis for the new  bridge.    Surveyors  verified  existing  control  on‐site,  tying  to  any control  monuments  near  the  project  location,  including  one  NGS monument,  and  one  US  Forest  Service  monument.      A  medium‐resolution High Definition Scan (HDS) of the project site was performed to facilitate topographic data collection and maintain  the ability  to “mine” data, as needed,  for  future  specific design areas.   The HDS data captured elevations 200’ above grade to edge‐of‐water through the corridor to support future hydraulic modeling.    

 Laser scanning provides designers and end users with extremely precise, real world, as‐built data thus minimizing downtime and fit up issues during construction.  This view is looking at the bridge abutment and tower mounted on rock cliff near Riggins Idaho.  We can collect point data on vertical rock cliffs collected from ±300’ across the river. For relative size comparison, remember that  the tower is ±35 tall.    

 Laser scanning can capture details such as swaying cables and power lines and later determine their exact location and parabolic bend.   This is a view of detail near the top of tower, suspension bridge, in medium density from a nearby scanner position.      

  Laser scanning can capture high detail such as bolts and tensioners and other critical structural elements of bridges.  This is a view of one suspension bridge multi‐cable tensioner when scanner is located close by (±50’) using a high detail scan.

Moore Emergency Shoreline Erosion Along Naches River, Naches, WA; Mark and Lilly Moore. In this project, the Naches River seriously threatened the home of Mark and Lilly Moore due to continued bank erosion. White Shield provided a sufficient evaluation, design, report, drawing, and preparation of the regulatory forms to mitigate continued bank erosion, and at the same time keeping the costs low for the client. In the investigation process, interviews were conducted with the client and a government official to obtain historical information of the property. It was found that native soils rested below a manmade fill. This information, as well as other information obtained by surveying various aspects of the property, such as river behavior and the stream velocity at the home, led to the conclusion that a boulder structure bank protection system, consisting of very large boulders placed in spaced trenches some 25 ft on-center, would provide the mass to mitigate continued bank erosion. It was also recommended that a boulder riprap at least 2ft on a side and live bundled branches and limbs between the boulder structures would provide the most cost effective and environmentally effective means for protecting the property from erosion. Kenyon Zero Storage Geotechnical and Surveying, Pasco, WA; Kenyon Zero Storage Kenyon Zero Storage planned a new freezer storage project on Port of Pasco land on Industrial Way, Pasco Processing Center. The freezer measures approximately 250,000 square feet on 16.6 acres of land. WSI’s role in the project consisted of topographic surveys and geotechnical/soils engineering for initial site planning purposes. Although not the largest of Kenyon Zero Storages facilities (the cold storage facility owned by Kenyon Zero Storage in Prosser is 280,000 sq. ft.) and utilizes newer technology than the other facilities including a fully LED lighting system, as well as increased R-value walls and roof, in addition to a new flooring system. The entire floor is three feet thick, the bottom layer being six inches of sand with a glycol system consisting of flexible tubing spaced every 18 inches across the entire floor in the three football-field size rooms. That’s topped with a vapor barrier, six inches of insulation, 15 inches of ballast rock, three inches of finely crushed rock and finally, six inches of concrete. This way, if there is a power loss, as long as the door to the facility remains shut, the whole football-field-sized room will remain cold for several days, until power can be restored. Lower Red River Meadow Stream Restoration, Grangeville, ID; Nez Perce Tribal Fisheries Watershed Division The Nez Perce Tribe contracted the White Shield team for the design of a channel meander bend restoration project in the Lower Red River Meadow. The project included the return of the main river channel into two historic river bends and the removal of dredge piles and berms along the river banks to restore fish habitat features and floodplain function during high flow periods. Fish habitat will be restored through hydrologic and hydraulic function characteristic of the natural setting. Plans were developed in a “soft” manner that limits impacts to the site in order to preserve existing floodplains natural functions.

Design constraints included simplicity in operation, reliability, and 10 mg/l total nitrogen in the effluent. Inchelium-Gifford Ferry Dock Rail System Design Services, Ferry County, Washington; Bureau of Indian Affairs White Shield has developed a unique ferry dock ramp that will significantly lower maintenance costs of the ramp, prevent damage to the ferry, and eliminate the need for the ferry to push the ramp itself. The design consists of a dock structure that rides on a fixed rail system. The dock is raised and lowered down the ramp with a motorized winch. Construction of the rail system is partially complete and construction of the dock is scheduled for January 2000. The total project cost is $1.1 million. White Shield, Inc. was selected to perform studies of four alternate designs for the construction of a moveable dock for the ferry operating between Inchelium and Gifford, Washington. The improvements were necessary to reduce maintenance costs and ramp serviceability of the old design, which will not handle large logging trucks, low-boy trailers, or recreational vehicles. The design is complicated by a constantly changing water level in Lake Roosevelt, whereby lake elevations can fluctuate up to 70 feet, and high level of maintenance of manual pushing the dock with the ferry boat.
