Proposal for Preparation of a Site Investigation Workplan Related to the Impacted Materials Encountered at the
Lakeshore Riverwalk 141 to Punhoqua Street,Oshkosh,Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Mauer,
AECOM Technical Services, Inc.(AECOM)is proposing to provide environmental engineering services related to the
impacted materials encountered during construction at the above-referenced project.The scope of work for this
proposal includes the preparation and coordination with Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources(WDNR)of a
site investigation workplan intended for WDNR approval. It does not include the site investigation activities, reporting
of results or preparation of a remedial action plan. These services will be provided under a separate agreement.
Project Background
The Lakeshore Riverwalk is positioned along the northern property boundary of the former, municipally owned,
Lakeshore Golf Course site. Oshkosh Corporation acquired a portion of the former Lakeshore Golf Course for
development as their new World Headquarters campus. The property was divided into two (2)separate lots. The
City-retained portion of the site which will be redeveloped into a new City park. During installation of the Riverwalk
utilities, impacted materials were encountered which exhibited a sheen, strong petroleum odor, and which appeared to
be impacted upon screening with a PID. Once analytical results were received AECOM and the City notified the
WDNR pursuant to Section NR 700.03 of the Wisconsin Administrative Code.
Impacted Materials
Petroleum Impacted materials were encountered during construction the week of August 19, 2019 during the
installation of conduit, electrical light pole bases and bollards. Environmental samples for waste characterization were
collected and were submitted to Pace Analytical Services, LLC for analytical analysis.Analytical results were then
used to create a waste profile for disposal at Waste Management's Valley Trail RDF located in Berlin,Wisconsin.
In addition,AECOM contacted the WDNR to notify them of a discharge at the site.AECOM prepared WDNR Form
4400-225 for Notification for Hazardous Substance Discharge(Non-Emergency Only)and submitted documentation
to the WDNR on August 29,2019.AECOM received the attached Responsible Party Letter from the WDNR dated
September 4, 2019 identifying required steps to take and documents required to be submitted to the WDNR.
To be in compliance with the Responsible Party Letter,AECOM will prepare the site investigation work plan submittal
required within 60 days of notification.
Future Anticipated Services
At this time,the remaining items listed in the Responsible Party Letter(the field investigation and providing sample
results notification, the site investigation report, remedial actions options report, remedial and interim action design,
implementation, operation, maintenance,and monitoring reports, notifications of residual contamination or continuing
obligations, and semiannual reporting)are not included in our scope of services.A separate proposal will be prepared
to assist the City with that effort.We recommend waiting to develop the anticipated future work item budgets in an
effort to provide realistic estimates based on information as it becomes available. We have attempted to provide a
budget for information only to assist with future funding. Please note this estimate is provided for information only.

Subject: Reported Contamination at Lakeshore Riverwalk-Golf Course (former),
2175 Punhoqua St, Oshkosh, WI
DNR BRRTS Activity# 02-71-584268
Dear Mr. Cole:
On August 29, 2019, you and Paul Timm, of AECOM, on behalf of the city of Oshkosh, notified the
Department of Natural Resources ("department") that a hazardous substance discharge of diesel was
detected at the site described above.
Information submitted to the department regarding this site indicates you are responsible for the
discharge of a hazardous substance or other environmental pollution (hereafter referred to as
"contamination") at the above-described site. "Site" refers to the property where the contamination
occurred and any other property it has migrated to, as defined in Wisconsin Administrative Code ("Wis.
Admin. Code") § NR 700.03(56).
This letter explains how to initiate the investigation and cleanup of contamination of the site, and how to
access further information and assistance from the department. The longer contamination is left in the
environment, the farther it can spread and the more it may cost to clean up. Quick action may lessen
damage to your property and neighboring properties and reduce your costs in investigating and
cleaning up the contamination.
Legal Responsibilities:
Persons meeting the definition of"responsible party" under§ NR 700.03(51) must follow applicable law
to address the discharge of a hazardous substance to the environment or other environmental pollution.
Wisconsin Statutes ("Wis. Stats.") ch. 292 and Wis. Admin. Code chs. NR 700 through NR 754 provide
specific requirements for undertaking appropriate response actions to address contamination, including
requirements for emergency and interim actions, public information, site investigations, remedy
selection, design and operation of remedial action systems, and case closure.
General Recommendations for Responsible Parties:
The department recommends that you:
1. Hire a Qualified Environmental Consultant

PAPER
City of Oshkosh
c/o Albert Cole, AECOM Page 2 of 5
Responsible Party Letter
BRRTS#02-71-584268
September 4, 2019
To ensure response actions you plan to undertake comply with Wisconsin law, you should hire an
environmental consultant within 30 days, by October 4, 2019, to meet the regulatory deadlines listed
below. A delay in hiring an environmental consultant could result in you missing key submittal
deadlines.
Hiring a consulting firm with staff that have the appropriate State of Wisconsin qualifications to
supervise and certify the submittals is a critical component and necessary to meet your requirements.
Further, an environmental consultant should be knowledgeable of Wisconsin's technical procedures
and laws, and be able to answer questions regarding cleanup requirements. Required qualifications for
environmental consultants are specified in Wis. Admin. Code ch. NR 712. Program guidance is
available, see Wis. Admin. Code ch. NR 712 Qualifications and Certifications, RR-081.
2. Properly Submit Reports on Time with Required Information Included
Wisconsin law includes timeframes for submitting technical documents and conducting work, as well as
specifications for what should be included in those submittals. This letter provides a general overview of
the timeframes and first steps to take for site investigation and cleanup. For an overview of timing
requirements, please refer to NR 700 Process and Timeline Overview, RR-967, enclosed.
The department developed the publication Guidance for Electronic Submittals for the Remediation and
Redevelopment Program, RR-690, to assist responsible parties and consultants in properly submitting
documents. Wis. Admin. Code § NR 700.11(3g), and other specific provisions within Wis. Admin. Code
ch. NR 700, outline the requirements for submittals, including electronic submittals. Consultants and
representatives of responsible parties are required to submit one paper copy and one electronic copy of
submittals, including case closure documents. The electronic version must be an exact duplicate of the
paper version. Failure to submit both a paper copy and electronic copy delays acceptance of your
submittals.
3. Consider the Benefits of a Fee-based Technical Review of your Submittals
In-depth department review of technical reports and submittals is available for a fee. The Remediation
and Redevelopment (RR) Program project managers are available throughout the process to answer
general questions and provide general input as the site moves toward closure. However, if you want a
formal written response from the department, a meeting or both on a specific submittal, a review fee will
be required in accordance with Wis. Admin. Code ch. NR 749. Obtaining technical assistance from
department project managers throughout the process is an effective way to prevent problems
and delays at the end of the process when case closure is requested. Forms, a fee schedule, and
further information on technical assistance is available at dnr.wi.gov and searching "brownfield fees".
Required Steps to Take and Documents to Submit:
The steps listed below serve as a general overview only — all mandatory steps and submittals
specified in state law must be met before the department can grant "case closure", which is a
determination by the department that no further cleanup is necessary at a site, as defined in Wis.
Admin. Code § NR 700.03(3m).

1. Scoping and Work Plan Submittal —NR 716.07 and 716.09: The law requires that you
appropriately scope out your site investigation and submit a work plan within 60 days of this
notification, by November 3, 2019, for completing a site investigation. The work plan must comply
with the requirements in Wis. Admin. Code, chs. NR 700 through NR 754. For additional
assistance, the department has extensive guidance on its web page at dnr.wi.gov and search
"brownfield publications".
Prior to and during a site investigation, you must evaluate whether any interim actions are needed
to contain or stabilize a hazardous substance discharge or environmental pollution, pursuant to Wis.
Admin. Code § NR 708.11. If you undertake an interim action (e.g., free product removal), you must
submit documentation of the action per Wis. Admin. Code § NR 708.15.
As you develop the site investigation work plan, you must include an assessment of the vapor
intrusion pathway. Wis. Admin. Code § NR 716.11(5) outlines the requirements for when to
evaluate for the presence of vapors in the sub-surface and in indoor air. The results and
conclusions from the vapor assessment must be included in the Wis. Admin. Code § NR 716.15 site
investigation report whether or not you elected to take vapor samples. Addressing Vapor Intrusion
at Remediation & Redevelopment Sites in Wisconsin, RR-800, is available to help responsible
parties and their consultants comply with these requirements.
2. Field Investigation — NR 716.11: Following submission of the work plan, the site investigation must
be started within the timeframe provided under law. The timeframe varies depending on whether
you are requesting the department's fee-based review of the work plan. If you do not request a fee-
based review of the work plan, you must initiate the field investigation within 90 days of submitting
the work plan, and you may proceed with the field investigation upon department notification to
proceed; however, if the department has not responded within 30 days, from submittal of the work
plan, you may then proceed with the field investigation. If a fee and request for department review
of the work plan is submitted, the field investigation must begin within 60 days after receiving
department approval.
3. Sample Results Notification Requirements— NR 716.14: You must report sampling results to the
department, owners, occupants, and various other parties within 10 business days after receiving
the sampling results, unless a different timeframe is approved by the department, in accordance
with Wis. Admin. Code § NR 716.14.
4. Site Investigation Report— NR 716.15: Within 60 days after completion of the field investigation
and receipt of the laboratory data, the law requires you to submit a Site Investigation Report (SIR)
to the department. As part of the SIR or in the Remedial Actions Options Report (RAOR), if there is
soil contamination, the responsible party shall identify the current land use (i.e. industrial or non-
industrial)
and zoning for the site or facility in accordance with Wis. Admin. Code § NR 720.05(5).
Also, as part of the SIR or in the RAOR, you must include any interim action reoort that may be
required under Wis. Admin. Code § NR 708.15.
5. Remedial Actions Options Report— NR 722: Within 60 days after submitting the SIR, the law
requires you to submit a RAOR. The selected remedy in the RAOR should include an evaluation of
green and sustainable remediation criteria, as appropriate, as required by Wis. Admin. Code § NR
722.09(2m). This may be submitted as part of a broader SIR.
