INTRODUCTION

Drydock No. 1 is a 65 year old all riveted and welded steel floating drydock currently tied up at
Pier 68 in the Port of San Francisco. The dry dock hull is approximately 584 ft. long by 128 ft.
wide. It shows evidence of severe deterioration and poor maintenance. The Port wants to
develop an RFP document that would allow it to obtain credible and competitive bids to dispose
of the drydock. The purpose of this investigation is to develop data on certain safety and
environmental hazards associated with the drydock that would impact work on the vessel or
pose problems with its disposal. These data will be used in the development of the RFP.
A team comprised of Moffatt & Nichol, Kinnetic Laboratories, LEE Inc. and Commercial Marine
Services was retained by the Port to perform the following tasks:

Conduct a reconnaissance survey of the drydock to identify suspected


environmental/safety hazards and prepare a Health and Safety Work Plan, and an
Environmental Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP)

Conduct the Environmental Sampling and Analyses per plan.

Conduct a Marine Survey of the drydock to assess its readiness to undergo a wet or dry
trip-in-tow to a site for dismantling.

The reconnaissance survey took place in May 2006 and determined access requirements,
particularly to the compartments in the wing walls and the main hull. Safety issues were
evaluated for future entry into the compartments by personnel. The Health and Safety Work
Plan and the Environmental Sampling and Analyses Plan were submitted to the Port in June
2006.
The Sampling and Analyses Plan included the following potential environmental hazards in this
investigation:

Lead in Paint
CAM-17 Metals in Corrosion
Debris
Asbestos Containing Materials

PCBs

Compositing of Samples from multiple similar locations was necessary to control the number of
samples and attendant costs for analytical chemistry. The sediment and water samples were
obtained from 35 compartments (2 hull compartments and 3 wing compartments were
inaccessible). Proportional composites based on compartment dimensions and sediment or
water depths were formed, grouping the composites by location and sediment color or water
clarity. The amount of sediment or water in each compartment was estimated from depth
measurements and compartment dimensions.
The Environmental Sampling and Marine Survey took place in March 2007.
The results of the LEE, Inc. investigations are reported in Appendix A, and of the Kinnetic
Laboratories in Appendix B. The report of the Marine Survey is presented in Appendix C.
1.2

KEY MARINE SURVEY FINDINGS

The Marine Survey noted that the drydock was in such poor condition that it is not practical to
consider repair to continue in its intended service; the only use for which it should be considered
is salvage scrap metal. The estimated scrap value given was about $600,000 (April 2007), but
the market value would be considerably less because allowances must be made for the cost to
clean and tow the vessel to a site for dismantling.
The Marine Survey concluded that the drydock was in satisfactory condition to undergo a
terminal inshore Wet Tow to a site for dismantling, provided the tow preparation repairs and the
towing plan as recommended in the Commercial Marine Services Report are complied with.
Among the recommendations is the requirement to evacuate all floatation compartments and
prove that the compartments are tight from the sea.
The Marine Survey also noted that even though the drydock could fit on the deck of a heavy lift
ship for a Dry Tow, the price of mobilizing a suitable Dry Tow vessel to the Port of San
Francisco for this purpose would likely prove cost prohibitive when compared to other options.
Furthermore there is a high probability that the wasted structure of the drydock would collapse
on the deck of the ship due to the stress placed on it during a sea voyage, so only an inshore
trip could be considered in any case.
1.3

KEY ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING FINDINGS

The requirements for cleaning the drydock to remove objectionable materials prior to
dismantling will be determined by the acceptance criteria/contract terms of the salvage
contractor and of any permits required to move the drydock to the dismantling site. The
following cleaning recommendations are based on a discussion with a major metal recycler in
the Bay Area.
Asbestos was found in the samples of pipe thermal insulation, electric switch panel and wire
insulation, woven gaskets on compartment access hatches, control room Transite panels and
weather stripping, and in the epoxy deck coating. Asbestos is also assumed to be found in the
brake/clutch components of the capstan units, and possibly in the packing glands of the pumps.
Certain asbestos-containing materials must be remidiated prior to dismantling the drydock. The
removal and disposal of the various ACMs can be accomplished with commercially available

technology as recommended by LEE Inc. Details on the regulatory requirements governing the
abatement of the various ACMs is provided in the Appendix.
Lead was detected in paint samples taken from both the exterior and interior surfaces of the
drydock. Removal of the intact lead paint is not required according to the recycler. Nevertheless,
the lead content of the paints does impact worker protection requirements during the
dismantling operation. Typical dismantling operations, including torch cutting of surfaces with
intact lead paint, will require worker protection including the use of SARs. However, cutting of
the heavily corroded areas with only residual paint may not, but this would need to be confirmed
by exposure monitoring at the time the work is performed.
Piles of corrosion/sediment debris found on various deck surfaces contained copper and lead at
elevated levels and their removal is required. While the metal content in the samples was below
CCR Title 22 TTLC criteria for hazardous waste, it exceeded the trigger criteria for conducting a
WET test in several samples. The results of the WET test on those samples indicated that
copper and lead levels exceeded the Title 22 STLC criteria for hazardous waste. Since the
occurrence of such elevated levels was not consistent, it may be that there are hot spots
among the debris piles. However, sampling and analyses during cleaning to aid in segregating
elevated lead/copper content debris is not recommended by LEE Inc. as it will likely not prove
cost effective, even if the debris piles as a whole must be handled as Class I Hazardous Waste.
PCBs are assumed to be present in the control room light ballasts. There are an estimated 15
ballasts which should be removed. PCBs were not detected in the samples of oil and grease
taken from drydock capstans. Nevertheless, an estimated 25 gallons of gear oils and lubricating
grease should be removed during cleaning, as well as other gross petroleum contamination,
such as the estimated 10,000 to 15,000 sq ft of oily film on the port wing compartment walls.
Preservative treated wood was observed in the drydock fenders, which should be removed. It is
assumed that the wood was treated with Creosote, which is considered a Class II Waste in
California and its removal managed accordingly.
The total volume of sediments in the sampled compartments is estimated to be 1400 cu. yds. In
general, these sediments contained elevated levels of petroleum hydrocarbons with oil & grease
values of 9,000-41,000 mg/kg-dry, fuel volatiles of 15,000-42,000 mg/kg-dry and total PAHs up
to 23,000 ug/kg-dry. Total metals concentration were also elevated, especially copper, zinc and
mercury, though none exceeded the Title 22 TTLC criteria for hazardous waste (after correction
for water contents). Some samples exceeded the trigger for conducting a WET test. The result
of the WET test showed that these sediments do not exceed the STLC criteria for hazardous
waste. Asbestos was absent, and herbicides, chlorinated hydrocarbons and PCBs were all
below detection limits in the composite sediment samples. The sediment must be removed prior
to dismantling the drydock according to the recycler. The removal of the sediments
contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons can be managed with commercially available
technology.
The total volume of water, which was primarily found in the hull compartments, is roughly
estimated to be 1 million gallons. The sampled waters were clear and fresh to slightly brackish
(max. 7ppt salinity). Oil & grease and fuel volatiles were low; total PAHs were below the
reporting limit and asbestos, organotins, herbicides, chlorinated hydrocarbons and PCBs were
all below detection limits. Removal and disposal of the water is recommended by Commercial
Marine Services in preparation for the terminal tow. Disposal of the water to the Bay was not

being considered by the Port; hence analyses for comparison with Basin Plan water quality
criteria were not performed. Consideration may be given to disposal of the clear water to the
municipal sewer system in accordance with rules for industrial waste discharge. Since the water
overlies sediments with elevated levels of contaminants as noted above, provisions to prevent
entrainment of sediment in the clear water discharge will likely be necessary.

BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION

The Port of San Francisco (Port) is developing an RFP for removal and disposal of their floating
Drydock No.1 (the Drydock). The Port requested that Moffatt & Nichol assemble a team to
perform an initial investigation of the structural and environmental issues with regard to the
towing and dismantling of the Drydock. This report describes the results of this investigation.
The Drydock was designed by Frederick R. Harris Consulting Engineers and built in 1942 for
the US Navy. It is a steel hull structure 584 long by 128 wide by 54 high (Figure 1 and
Photograph 1). The wings rise above the deck plate 37 ft 6 in. There are outriggers at either
end which were used for access onto the Drydock from the wharf (Photograph 2). When
deployed, the outriggers extend the length of the Drydock to 664 ft. The Drydock contains 40
watertight compartments. Eight center, port, and starboard (total 24) hull compartments are
referred to on the design plans as buoyancy compartments. The remaining sixteen
compartments are wing compartments.
The Drydock is self docking meaning that the end sections can be detached and used to lift
the large middle section to facilitate maintenance and transportation. Also, the end sections
could (originally) be detached and stowed on the deck of the middle section.
The Drydock is of welded and riveted steel construction. The majority of the joints and
connections are welded. However, built-up stiffening beams are riveted and the self-docking
connections are bolted. Generally, the bottom, exterior sides and deck plate are (originally) onehalf inch thick with longitudinal split 11-inch deep channel sections as stiffeners spaced at 2 feet
on center. Transverse stiffening consists of truss frames spaced 8 feet on center between
watertight bulkheads (Photographs 3 & 4). Similar shell stiffening and transverse truss frames
are found between the inner and outer shell of the wing walls. Interior side plates and bulkheads
are 3/8 inch thick with stiffeners spaced at 2 ft on center.
Access to the compartments is either through deck hatches or watertight doors. Access to the
buoyancy compartments is through hatches in the deck. Access to the wing compartments is
through watertight doors in the wings (Photograph 5). Additionally, the port and starboard
buoyancy compartments may be accessed through watertight doors in the wing compartment
bulkheads. More details of the structure can be found in Reference 1.
The Drydock was ballasted and de-ballasted by electric pumps located in the wing
compartments. Piping penetrates the wing bulkheads to the compartments. Ballast / de-ballast
piping penetrates the exterior shell plate at the base of the wing sections. Ballasting and deballasting was controlled at the control house on top of the starboard wing.

SCOPE OF WORK

The investigation involved the following tasks:


1. Material Sampling, Testing and Assessment:
A Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) and Health and Safety Work Plan (HSWP) were
prepared previously in Phase 1 of this project. This task, following the procedures
specified in these plans, required obtaining samples of materials on the Drydock and
having them tested in a state certified laboratory for contaminants.
2. Marine Survey and Structural assessment:
Complete a visual qualitative assessment of the mooring hardware supports and
structure to assess the Drydocks suitability and conditions for a wet or dry tow.

MATERIAL SAMPLING, TESTING AND ASSESSMENT

The material sampling testing and assessment addressed the following areas:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)

Lead Paint
Corrosion / Debris Piles for CAM-17 metals and asbestos
Asbestos containing materials
PCB-containing dielectrics and oils
Sediment and water contained in the compartments

The sampling and documentation of Areas a) through d) was performed by LEE Inc., while the
sediment and water characterization, Area e) was done by Kinnetic Laboratories, Inc.
Methodologies and results from the material sampling and testing are summarized below. The
full discussion of sampling and testing protocols and of the results can be found in Appendix A
prepared by LEE, Inc. and Appendix B prepared by Kinnetic Laboratories, Inc.
4.1

METHODOLOGY

4.1.1

Lead Paint and Corrosion / Debris Piles

Samples to be analyzed for lead content were taken of paint on drydock surfaces, and samples
to be analyzed for CAM-17 metals were collected from representative piles of debris
accumulated on the horizontal surfaces of the decks and wings, as well as sediments in the
lower wing compartments. Paint samples were analyzed for lead content using flame atomic
absorption spectrometry according to the EPAs Standard Operating Procedures 1991.
Corrosion debris was analyzed using inductively coupled plasma according to EPA 6010B for
total metals and EPA 7471 for total mercury for comparison against the CCR Title 22 Total
Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC). If the samples had detection limits or results 10 times
the relevant Title 22 Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration (STLC), they were analyzed for the
metal in question according to the Waste Extraction Test (WET).
4.1.2

Asbestos Containing Materials

Samples to be tested for asbestos were collected from various areas suspected to contain
asbestos, including pipe thermal insulation, electric switch panel and wire insulation, the control
room panels and weather-stripping, epoxy coatings on the upper decks of the wings and
compartment hatch cover gaskets. Asbestos is also included in the analysis of the samples
taken of the corrosion debris piles as described above.
4.1.3

PCB containing materials

Electric components possibly containing PCBs were also located, but not tested since the cost
of testing exceed the disposal cost assuming they contain PCBs. Samples of greases and oils
were collected from capstans, lubrication manifolds and a mound of grease on the upper deck
of the port wing wall to be analyzed for PCB contamination.
4.1.4

Sediment and Water in the Hull Compartments

Sediment and water samples were taken from 35 accessible hull compartments (22 buoyancy
compartments, 13 wing compartments) out of a total of 40 buoyancy and wing compartments.
7

For sediments within the hull compartments, samples for full scan chemistry were obtained as
follows:
Wing compartment composite (both port and starboard) since the sediments were
visually similar.
Center buoyancy compartment composite visually similar rust colored sediments.
Port and starboard buoyancy compartment composite visually similar Grey colored
sediments.
For water within the hull compartments, samples for full scan chemistry were obtained as
follows:
Wing compartment composite (both port and starboard).
Center buoyancy compartments composite with clear water.
Center buoyancy compartment with cloudy water.
Port and starboard buoyancy compartment - composite with clear water.
A best estimate of the thickness of the sediment and depth of water in each of the
compartments was also tabulated and used to obtain a rough estimate of sediment and water
volume.
Wing Compartments. Eight of the thirteen compartments sampled contained small areas of
standing water. Since the great majority of these spaces were dry, the sediment samples taken
were generally dry, caked on material that needed to be fragmented to be removed. Sediments
were tan, light grey or reddish brown and usually had moderate to heavy accumulations of rust
fragments mixed into them.
All center buoyancy compartments contained water.
Center Buoyancy Compartments.
Sediment samples taken from the center deck compartments were saturated and most were
difficult to sample due to their light (1-3 inch deep) accumulations. Sediments were mixes of red
and black or red and grey material with one exception which was almost all black in color. Most
samples contained high percentages (50-90%) of rust fragments and light to heavy amounts of
petroleum product.
All port and starboard buoyancy
Port and Starboard Buoyancy Compartments.
compartments also contained water. Sediment samples taken from these compartments were
saturated with water. Sediments were generally grey in color with a silt-like consistency.
The sediment samples were tested for percent solids, oil & grease, dissolved sulfides, asbestos,
metals, butytins, chlorinated pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs). In addition, the sediments were tested for Title 22 elements, some acids
and PCBs. Water was analyzed for a similar list of analytes as the sediments, minus the
sediment specific constituents.
4.2

RESULTS

4.2.1

Lead Paint and Corrosion / Debris Piles

Results for paint samples collected from the corroded, exterior surfaces of the drydock ranged
from non-detect to low. The concentrations obtained ranged from <74 parts-per-million (ppm) to,
64,653 ppm with 3 of the 6 samples non-detect at 79 ppm. Results for paint samples collected
from the interior walls of the upper compartments of the wing-walls with intact paint ranged from

5,180 ppm to 222,025 ppm. The sample results and locations are shown in Appendix A.2,
including recommendations for managing the remediation of lead paint depending on the lead
level in the paint.
While the presence of lead in and of itself is not a major issue for metal recycling, the lead
content of paints on the Drydock does impact worker protection requirements during the
dismantling operation (e.g., hot work). Torch cutting of surfaces with lead paint is a Level 3
Trigger Task and will require the use of supplied air respirators (SARs). This will be the case for
the intact paint on the interior walls of the upper compartments of the wing-walls where lead was
detected in the hundreds of thousands of parts-per-million. On the other hand, 5 out of 6
samples from the exterior surfaces yielded values which were non-detect or below the 600 ppm
level defined by Consumer Products Safety Commission as lead-free for residential paints.
While CAL-OSHA does not uses this criterion for defined trigger tasks such as dismantling of
the dry-dock, it is anticipated that disturbance of the exterior with the limited areas of residual
paint and extensive areas of corrosion is not likely to generate airborne lead levels requiring
SAR. Nevertheless, this must be confirmed by exposure monitoring, and in any case some level
of respiratory protection would be required until data from monitoring indicated otherwise.
The lead content in sampled piles of corrosion debris and sediment was below the Total
Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC) for lead. Handling of this debris is not likely to result in
exposures at or above the Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) for lead. The two sediment
samples and one of the four debris samples had results exceeding the Soluble Threshold Limit
Concentration (STLC) and were re-analyzed by the Waste Extraction Test (W.E.T.). The results
for one of the sediment samples and the debris sample exceeded the STLC for lead. Although
this will adversely impact disposal options, LEE, Inc. notes that further sampling and testing of
the corrosion/debris material during the cleaning phase of the recycling effort to generate
composite results that are below the STLC criteria, or to identify and segregate hot spots may
not be cost effective, when compared to managing the entire quantity of material as a Class I
Waste.
CAM-17 metals results for the samples of wing-wall sediment and debris piles were all below
the relevant TTLC. However, results for one or more metals in all of the samples exceeded 10
times the STLC and these samples were re-analyzed for the corresponding metal by the W.E.T.
In addition to the lead findings cited above, the copper content in piles of corrosion debris
exceeded the STLC in three of the four re-analyzed samples, but results for all other metals
were below the STLC. Again, this will adversely impact disposal options, but it reinforces the
recommendation made for the Lead results that all the material be managed as a Class I Waste.
4.2.2

Asbestos Containing Materials

The quantities and locations of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) are described in detail in
Appendix A. Asbestos was identified in the samples of pipe insulation (Thermal Systems
Insulation: TSI), electric switch panel insulation board, woven gaskets on compartment hatch
covers, control room Transite panels, control room wire insulation, epoxy deck coating, and
weather-stripping. Asbestos is assumed to be found in the brake/clutch pad components of the
capstan motor units, and possibly in the pump packing. Corrosion/Debris pile samples from the
wing-wall compartments were non-detect for asbestos.
Certain Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM) must be removed from the Drydock as a part of
the dismantling effort and prior to recycling. The TSI on the pipe is a Regulated Asbestos-

Containing Material (RACM), and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD)
requires 10-day advance notification prior to removal. The TSI removal work is Cal-OSHA
Class I asbestos work that requires a Cal-OSHA registered asbestos abatement contractor.
The TSI is also California Hazardous Waste that must be transported under a Uniform
Hazardous Waste Manifest. The gasket material on the compartment hatch covers should be
handled similarly. Removal of other ACMs is Cal-OSHA Class II asbestos work, and the
material is Category II, asbestos-containing non-hazardous waste. Complete recommendations
for managing the remediation/removal of asbestos are provided in Appendix A.1.
4.2.3

PCB Containing Materials

Light ballasts in the control room are assumed to contain PCB. No PCBs were detected in the
samples of oils and greases. Nevertheless, prior to the dismantling operation the capstan gear
oils, lubricating greases, and petroleum gross contamination should be removed. There are an
estimated 25 gallons of these bulk materials and an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 square feet of
upper deck port wing compartment walls with an oily film.
4.2.4

Sediment and Water in the Hull Compartments

Water
The amount of water present in each accessible hull compartment was roughly estimated from
water depth measurements, and drydock structure dimensions. Approximately 1 million gallons
of water are present in these compartments.
Chemical analyses of the composite water samples were carried out. At the request of the Port,
only total metals were included in the analyte list since disposal in ambient Bay waters was not
being considered and comparisons with Bay Plan criteria was not required.
Waters in the hull tanks were clear, fresh to slightly brackish generally of 1-2 ppt (parts per
thousand salinity) with the highest 7 ppt. Measurements of pH were typically close to 8.0. Oil &
Grease values were low (<5 mg/l) and volatile fuel concentrations were in the general range of
3.5 to 4.9 mg/l. Total PAHs were measured at 2-4 ng/l which is less than the project reporting
limit. Asbestos was absent and organotins, herbicides, chlorinated hydrocarbons and PCBs
were all below project detection limits,
Sediment
The volume of sediment in each accessible hull compartment was estimated based upon
sediment depth measurements and drydock structure dimensions. A total of approximately
1,400 cubic yards of sediment is present in these compartments.
Results of chemical analyses were obtained from the three composite sediment samples formed
from the Wing Tank samples, and from the Buoyancy Tank (Red) and (Grey) sediments
respectively. Water content was highly variable among the three composite samples. The
Wing Tank composite sediment sample had low moisture (10%), the Buoyancy Tank (Red) was
30% moisture, and the (Grey) had a soupy consistency with a moisture content of 70 percent.
These sediment samples had elevated levels of petroleum hydrocarbons with oil & grease
values of 9,000-41,000 mg/kg-dry, fuel volatiles analyses of 15,000-42,000 mg/kg-dry, and total
PAHs ranging up to 23,000 ug/kg-dry.

10

Total metals concentrations of copper and zinc were also elevated in these samples. Just for
comparison purposes, ambient Bay sediment quality guidance criteria and Title 22 TTLC values
are also tabulated in Appendix B. Note that the TTLC criteria are on a wet weight basis. Copper
and zinc values, though elevated, did not exceed the Title 22 TTLC criteria for hazardous waste
after correction for moisture content. Sediment from the Wing Tank exceeded the trigger for
conducting a WET test based upon STLC criteria. Mercury values were also elevated but were
less than the TTLC after correction for moisture content. Two samples (Wing Tank and
Buoyancy Tank Grey) exceeded the STLC trigger criteria and thus were subject to a WET Test.
The results of the WET Test indicate that none of the composite samples exceed the Title 22
STLC Criteria for hazardous waste.
Asbestos was absent and herbicides, chlorinated hydrocarbons and PCBs were all below
detection limits in the composite sediment samples from the hull tanks,.
4.2.5

Treated Wood

The Drydock has treated wood side bumpers. The preservative is assumed to be cresote. Wood
was also observed in the shaft bearings, but these are most likely a tropical hardwood referred
to as ironwood and are not treated. Creosote treated wood is a Class II Waste in California
and is not accepted for disposal at Class III sanitary landfills.

11

MARINE SURVEY & STRUCTURAL ASSESSMENT

The structural assessment consists of two parts; a qualitative assessment of mooring hardware
supports and overall structure by Moffatt & Nichol, and an assessment of condition and
suitability for wet or dry tow by a marine surveyor. The structural inspection was done on March
26, 27and 28 by an inspection team including a Licensed Structural Engineer from Moffatt &
Nichol and a Licensed Marine Surveyor from Commercial Marine Service.
5.1

METHODOLOGY

The hull was observed from the outside, both by walking the deck and by boating around the
Drydock, and from the inside by accessing wing compartments and adjacent hull ballast side
compartments through open hatches. Notes and pictures were taken as necessary to
document the condition of the structure. Portable lights were used to observe structure inside
the compartments. Electrical fans were used to ensure proper ventilation while accessing the
interior compartments. Attempts were made to measure the remaining thickness of plate at
several locations, but these were unsuccessful due to heavy pitting.
5.2

STRUCTURAL CONDITION

5.2.1

Hull Condition

The steel deck is extensively corroded (Photograph 6) with many holes through the entire plate
thickness. Some areas of the deck were covered by containers and other loose items and not
possible to inspect, while others were covered with pallets or other wood. The condition of the
deck under those areas is unknown. Although the deck is badly holed, for the most part it was
safe for pedestrian loads. The majority of the rain falling onto the deck probably finds its way
into the buoyancy compartments via the holes in the deck. Most of the deck hatches are loose
and easily removed for observation of the central and buoyancy compartments. All of the
compartments contained water most of it fresh implying that the hull is (for the most part)
watertight from the sea. Tables 1 and 2 show the approximate water depths in the buoyancy
compartments at the time of inspection as recorded by Kinnetic Laboratories, and the estimated
volume of water in the wing compartments respectively. It was not possible to get metal
thickness readings due to the heavy metal pitting. However, based on observation, more than
half of the original metal thickness appears to have been lost due to corrosion.
Freeboard measurements from the pontoon deck were made at 4 locations. These
measurements are provided in Table 3. The average freeboard is about 8.2 feet, with a slight list
towards the forward/port side.
BAE Systems indicated that no pumping had been done to maintain trim for the Drydock. This
is further evidence that the hull is more or less watertight from the sea.
5.2.2

Wing Compartments Condition

Four wing compartments and three hull buoyancy compartments were entered. All accessible
wing compartments were viewed from the openings to the deck. Wing compartments are
extensively corroded and heavily laden with sediment. The corrosion and sediment in the
bottom of the wing compartments is 3 to 6 inches thick. Some of the wing compartments have

12

standing water (perhaps due to high water levels in the buoyancy compartments). Stiffeners,
channels and wide-flange beams inside of the wing compartments are knife edged in many
cases.
In 2002, the Drydock broke loose from its moorings and ran aground on Yerba Buena Island.
The forward, starboard wing area was damaged when the Drydock ran aground. There is
evidence of damage due to the grounding but no visible evidence of any repairs (Photographs 7
and 8). The forward starboard wing compartment appears to be watertight from the sea.
The wing compartments above the deck are extensively corroded (Photograph 9), with
extensive holing of the plate above the deck level. The upper parts of the wing compartments
show numerous repairs. Mostly, these repairs consisted of patching of the corroded plating with
welded steel doubler plates (Photographs 10 and 11). In addition, numerous plywood plugs
have been attached over holes in the wing plating over the years to seal holes (Photograph 12).
These repairs are sandwich plywood on the outside and inside with a rubber gasket rubber or a
similar material next to the shell to get a watertight seal. The floor plate at the top of the wing
sections has been repaired with patch plates. The environmental sub-contractor noted that the
intermediate level floor inside of the wings had areas that were unsafe for pedestrian loads. It is
not clear whether the intermediate level floor has ever been repaired.
5.2.3

Towing Hardware Condition

Four towing bitts are present on the Drydock, one each at all four corners (Photograph 13). All
are double-bitts which straddle transverse deck frames below the deck plate. However, these
have no additional under deck stiffening in the longitudinal direction. The bitts are mounted on
one inch thick doubler plates that in turn are welded to the deck plating with a continuous
perimeter weld as well as inch plug welds between the two horns. The towing bitts
themselves are in fair condition, with some surface corrosion. However, the doubler plates are
heavily corroded, especially along the perimeter where they are welded onto the deck plating.
In most cases, the perimeter weld is completely gone (Photograph 14).
The condition of the towing bitts and the attachment to the deck indicates that they are not
suitable for towing. This is consistent with the findings from the Marine Surveyor.
5.2.4

Hull Strength

Originally, the Drydock was designed for a 20.4 foot head seas wave. The conditions shown on
the original drawings assume that the end sections are carried by the center section when
subjected to the design wave. It is considered impossible to remove the end sections of the
Drydock and place them on the deck of the center section for a couple of reasons. First, it is
unlikely that either the center section or the end sections can be ballasted / de-ballasted due to
extensive holing and lack of pumping. Second, the center section deck is badly weakened due
to corrosion and likely to fail under the weight of the end sections. As a consequence the
Drydock would have to be towed or transported with the end sections attached to the hull. This
will significantly increase hull moments for a given wave.
As noted previously, the Drydock has undergone extensive corrosion and this loss of metal
reduces the maximum wave it can withstand during a tow. This condition combined with
undesirable transportation with the end sections attached further reduces the maximum

13

transportation wave height. As a consequence, the maximum allowable wave height during tow
is estimated to be less than about 5 feet.
Due to the deteriorated condition of the connections between the end and center sections,
some connection strengthening prior to transportation may be desirable. Further analyses
should be performed for the Drydock once the tow destination and tow displacement are known.
5.3

SUITABILITY FOR TOW

5.3.1

Wet Tow

The conclusion of the marine surveyor is that the Drydock is not suitable for an open ocean wet
tow. With the extensive corrosion and openings in the hull, it is unlikely that the Drydock would
survive ocean wave exposure, especially if foul weather is encountered. A local wet tow is
possible. Alternative tow arrangements must be provided due to the poor condition of the towing
bitts. One possibility is to attach the tow chains through openings in the wing compartments and
around the existing transverse web frames. Penetrations in the wing compartments above the
deck level (Photograph 15) have already been made in several places on the Drydock.
Before the Drydock would be ready for tow, a number of repairs and prepatory steps would
have to be completed to fulfill requirements from the USCG. Discussion of these items is
presented in Appendix C.
5.3.2

Dry Tow

The conclusion of the Marine Surveyor is that even though the subject vessel could be lifted
aboard and fit within the capacity bounds of the deck of a heavy lift Dry-Tow vessel such as
the M/V BLUE MARLIN, the price of moving such a vessel from Norway to the Port of San
Francisco would be cost prohibitive when compared with the other options such as a Wet Tow
to a local facility for dismantling. There is also the high probability that the wasted structure of
the subject dry dock would collapse upon the deck of the ship due to the stress placed upon it
by swaying in a seaway therefore only inshore towing routes should be considered in any case.

REPORT
ASBESTOS, LEAD AND CAM-17 METALS INSPECTION
AND SAMPLING
DRYDOCK NO.1, PIER 70

JULY 2007

LEE INCORPORATED
Engineers z Scientists z Contractors

SECTION 1 - SUMMARY OF FINDINGS


ASBESTOS
The quantities and locations of Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are given on the
accompanying asbestos table and plan.
Materials
Asbestos was identified in the samples of pipe insulation (thermals systems insulation:
TSI), electric switch panels insulation board, woven gaskets on deck access panels,
control room cement panel siding, control room wire insulation, epoxy coating, and
weather-stripping.
Asbestos is assumed to be found in the brake/clutch pad components of the capstan motor
units, and possibly in the pump packing.
Sediment samples from the lower wing-wall compartments were non-detect for asbestos.
Removal
Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) must be removed from the dry-dock as a part of
the dismantling effort and prior to recycling.
The TSI on the pipe is Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material (RACM), and the Bay
Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) requires 10-day advance notification
prior to removal.
The TSI removal work is Cal-OSHA Class I asbestos work that requires the use of
respiratory protection, 4-day asbestos trained workers under the supervision of a 5-day
competent person, all employed by a Cal-OSHA registered asbestos abatement
contractor.
Removal of other ACMs (i.e., electric switch panel insulation boards, cement panel
siding, etc.) is Cal-OSHA Class II asbestos work.
Disposal
The TSI and access panel gaskets are California Hazardous Waste that must be
transported under a duly executed Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest.
Other ACM are Category II, asbestos-containing non-hazardous waste and can be
transported under a non-hazardous waste manifest.

LEAD
The results and locations of lead samples are given on the accompanying table and plan.
Materials
Results for paint samples collected from the corroded, exterior surfaces of the dry-dock
ranged from non-detect at 74 parts-per-million (ppm) to 64,653 ppm with 3 of the 6
samples non-detect at 79 ppm. Results for paint samples collected from the interior walls
of the upper compartments of the wing-walls with intact paint ranged from 5,180 ppm to
222,025 ppm. The sample results and locations are shown in the appendices.
Removal
The presence of lead in and of itself is not a major issue for metal recycling according to
staff at Schnitzer Steel in Oakland, and in fact they indicated that their major concern
with the dry-dock is the sediment in the lower wing-wall and hull compartments.
According to Schnitzer Steel, the dry-dock must be pre-cleaned of the sediment as a
condition for acceptance at their facility, in addition to removal of the asbestos and any
other hazardous materials identified that are excluded by their contract terms and
conditions.
Nevertheless, the lead content of paints on the dry-dock does impact worker protection
requirements during the dismantling operation (e.g., hot work). Torch cutting of
surfaces with lead paint is a Level 3 Trigger Task and will require the use of supplied air
respirators (SAR). This will be the case for the intact paint on the interior walls of the
upper compartments of the wing-walls where lead was detected in the hundreds of
thousands of parts-per-million.
On the other hand, samples from the exterior yielded mainly non-detect to low (<600
PPM) levels of lead. These exterior areas with residual paint and the heavily corroded
areas covering most of the exposed surfaces of the dry-dock are not likely to require
SAR, but this must be confirmed by exposure monitoring.
The lead content in sampled piles of corrosion debris and sediment was below the Total
Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC) for lead. Handling of this debris is not likely to
result in exposures at or above the permissible exposure limits (PEL) for lead. This can
be argued based on a hypothetical exposure to total nuisance dust at the 10 milligram
per cubic meter of air (mg/M3) PEL. This is a substantial, vision impairing, cloud of dust
that, if formed from the highest lead content debris found, would still only contain 0.3
micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air (ug/M3) as compared with the 30 ug/M3 action
level, and the 50 ug/M3 PEL.

Disposal
High lead content paint debris should be segregated from corrosion debris, sediment and
other waste and disposed of as Class I lead-containing hazardous waste. The paint debris
may also be considered RCRA waste.

The two sediment samples and one of the four debris samples had results exceeding 10
times the Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration (STLC) and were re-analyzed by the
Waste Extraction Test (W.E.T.). The WET result for one of the sediment samples and
one of the debris samples exceeded the STLC for lead. Based on the TTLC and STLC
findings together, it may be that there are lead hot spots in the deck debris, but that in
the aggregate the total lead concentration in the debris is below the STLC. Handling the
debris as Class I California Hazardous Waste would seem to be simpler and more cost
effective than trying to define the portions of debris with high lead content.
CAM-17 METALS (Compliance Assurance Monitoring)
CAM-17 metals results for the samples of wing-wall sediment and corrosion debris were
all below the relevant TTLC.
However, results or detection limits for one or more metals in all of the samples exceeded
10 times the STLC and these samples were re-analyzed for the corresponding metal by
the W.E.T. In addition to the lead findings cited above, the copper content in piles of
corrosion debris exceeded the STLC in three of the four re-analyzed samples, but results
for all other metals were below the STLC. It is recommended that the debris be handled
as Class I California Hazardous Waste, as it would be simpler and more cost effective
than trying to define the portions of debris with metal content.
As with the airborne lead exposure scenario, the copper content in the debris would not
generate exposures above the copper PEL under the nuisance dust worst case scenario
with 1.6 ug/M3 of copper to be found in a 10 mg/M3 dust cloud generated from debris
containing 1,600 ppm of copper, the highest concentration detected in the bulk samples.
PCBs
Light ballasts in the control room are assumed to contain polychlorinated biphenyl
(PCB). It is estimated that there are 12-15 ballasts including those in lights and behind
the instrument panel, but an exact number could not be determined without dismantling
equipment.
No PCBs were detected in the samples of oils and greases. Nevertheless, prior to the
dismantling operation the capstan gear oils, lubricating greases, and petroleum gross
contamination should be removed. There are an estimated 25 gallons of these bulk
materials.

There is an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 square feet of upper deck port wing compartments
walls contaminated with an oily film. During torch-cutting the oily film is likely to
evolve smoke, or even ignite, which makes it an environmental and worker protection
issue during the dismantling phase. This condition may be an issue for the recycler with
pre-cleaning a requirement for acceptance.
TREATED WOOD
Treated wood was observed in the form of the side-bumpers on the dry-dock. Wood was
also observed in the form of shaft bearings, but these are most likely a tropical hardwood
referred to as ironwood and are not treated.
Preservative treatment of the wood bumpers was most likely to have been using creosote.
Creosote treated wood is Class II waste in California and not accepted for disposal at
Class III sanitary landfills.

SECTION 2 - SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES


The inspections and sampling were performed under previously approved Sampling,
Health and Safety Plans. Initial access into the upper compartments on the wing-walls
was under a permitted confined space entry procedure, using a 4-gas monitor and selfcontained breathing apparatus (SCBA). After accessing the Starboard side compartments
under this protocol, it was determined that the horn-ventilators on the deck were
providing adequate ventilation. Subsequent entries into the upper and lower wing-wall
compartments were performed without the use of SCBA but preceded by initial screening
with the 4-gas monitor which was also worn inside the compartment during the
inspection.
Asbestos, lead and CAM-17 Metals analyses were performed by Micro Analytical
Laboratories in Emeryville, California. Micro Analytical is a successful participant in
the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) Proficiency Analytical Testing
(PAT) program, and California Department of Health Services California Department of
Health Services Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELAP) certified lab.
PCB gas chromatographic (GC) analysis was performed by Curtis & Tompkins in
Berkeley, California. Curtis & Tompkins is a California Department of Health Services
National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Certification (NELAC) certified lab.
Inspections, and asbestos, lead, CAM-17 Metals and PCB bulk sampling were performed
by Al Clancy, MPH, Certified Industrial Hygienist (ABIH CP#3879), Certified
Hazardous Materials Manager (IHMM #2381 Master Level), Certified Asbestos
Consultant (Cal-OSHA #92-0486), and Lead-Related Construction Certified Inspector
(DHS #2239). Inspections and asbestos sampling were also conducted by Monte
Deignan, Certified Asbestos Consultant (Cal-OSHA #93-0879).

ASBESTOS
Samples for asbestos were collected from suspect materials including the control room,
epoxy-type coatings on the upper decks of the wings, gaskets on manholes in the upper
decks and compartments of the wing-walls, and from the corrosion debris piles below
pipes on the main lower deck. No gasket material was observed on valve flanges and
other such types of joints, therefore no samples were collected.
A minimum sample area of one square inch was collected for suspect ACM where
feasible, and samples of corrosion debris consisted of a minimum of one cubic inch.
Sample analysis was by polarized light microscopy (PLM). The bulk samples of
suspected asbestos-containing materials are first examined by stereoscopic, dissecting
microscope for determination of homogeneity and preliminary evaluation of composition
and presence of fibers. Fibers noted during stereoscopic examination were mounted in

various refractive index oils for identification; homogenized portions of the entire
samples were also mounted in R.I. oils for identification and quantification of all
components. All minerals and/or man-made materials were identified and percentages of
each estimated and/or counted. Bulk sample analysis was according to EPA-600/M4-82020.
LEAD AND CAM 17 METALS
Samples for lead analysis were collected from paints on dry-dock surfaces, and samples
for CAM-17 analysis were collected from representative piles of corrosion debris
accumulated on the horizontal surfaces of the deck, and sediment in the wing lower
compartments.
A minimum sample amount of 5 grams was collected for lead paints, and 100 grams for
the corrosion debris. Individual paint samples were collected from various areas on the
deck and wings. Paint samples were analyzed for total lead using flame atomic
absorption spectrometry (FAA) according to the EPAs Standard Operating Procedures
1991. Corrosion debris sample analysis was by inductively coupled plasma (ICP)
according to EPA 6010B for total metals and 7471 for total mercury for comparison
against the Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC). Samples with detection limits
or results 10 times the relevant Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration (STLC) were reanalyzed for that metal according to the Waste Extraction Test (W.E.T.).
POLYCHLORINATED BI-PHENYLS (PCBs):
Bulk samples of oils and greases were collected from the capstans, lubrication manifolds,
and a mound of grease on upper deck of the port wing wall. A wipe sample was also
collected from the interior sidewalls below the upper deck of the port wing wall that was
visibly coated with an oily film. The sample was collected using filter paper soaked in
hexane that was wiped over the surface and then placed in a glass jar. PCB sample
analysis was performed according to EPA 8082.
Samples were given unique identification numbers that were entered in the field notes
along with the locations which are shown in Table X. Samples were transported to the
laboratory under a duly executed chain-of-custody (COC) that included sample
identification numbers and descriptions. COCs accompany the analytical reports that are
contained in the appendix to this report.

The interior walls of the drydock are painted steel, with substantial
oxidation and corrosion. The floor of the top compartment in the wingwall
is also steel with advanced corrosion that has resulted in holes and
openings through the floor plane. Working in the compartments
represents a possible fall hazard and must be addressed by any
contractors at the site.
The mechanical equipment in the compartments consist of electrical
pumpmotors, capstan motors, valve actuators, switch gear, electrical
conduits,and piping.
The switch gear is found in multiple switch boxes and contains Transite
backing boards and insulators that contain asbestos. The capstan units
appearto have brake shoe assemblies that are assumed to contain
asbestos.

Photo 1 shows the starboard wingwall compartment, with the corrosion


visible on the walls and floor. The inspector is in front of one of the
electricalboxes that uses an asbestos containing backing board. The
overhead piping consists of conduit and an insulated steam line. Photo 2
shows one of the expansion loops at another part of the same steam line.
The insulation on the line contains asbestos and will need to be abated
using Class I abatement practices.

The exterior of the drydock is predominantly painted steel. The top of the
wing walls are coated with a variety of non skid paints and epoxies. A
number of steel hatches are placed along the length of both wing walls.
Piping, conduits, and vents are also found along the wing walls. A series
of electrical switch boxes are found on the top of the wing wall. The
control room for the raising and lowering of the dock is located on the
stern end of the starboard wing wall. The control room houses the
switches, gauges, and systems to run the drydock. The exterior and
interior walls of the control room are Transite asbestos board. Many of
the wire insulators and the door gaskets contain asbestos.

Photo 5 shows the deck from the control room. The green colored epoxy
coating near the control room contains asbestos. The other gray and
brown non skid surfaces were non asbestos. The electrical boxes that
contain phenolic backing boards are along the side of the wall. The
gaskets and seal used on doors and hatches appear as a woven fabric
and most contain asbestos.
Photos 6 and 7 are of the starboard wing wall. The paints typically
contain high levels of lead but do not contain asbestos. A series of wood
rails are located on the outside or on the corners of the walls. The wood
appears to be creosote treated.

The pumps are located in compartments near the waterline. It is
assumed that the pumps may contain packing on the shafts that
contain asbestos. Due to the condition and location the pump packing
was not sampled.
The base of the pump motor also contains a significant amount of lube
or gear oil. Some of the other units have leaked and spilled oil on the
floor of the compartments.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Drydock # 1 is an old floating drydock currently tied up at Berth 70 in the Port of San Francisco. The
drydock is approximately 584 feet long by 128 feet wide. The Port of San Francisco desires to
develop an RFP document that would allow the Port to obtain credible and competitive bids for the
ultimate disposal of Drydock # 1. The purpose of this project is to develop data on safety and
environmental hazards associated with this drydock that will be needed to structure an RFP for
potential bidders.
Kinnetic Laboratories, working in the Moffatt & Nichol team was responsible for sampling sediments
and water present in the hull compartments in order to determine whether environmental hazards
exist that would impact work on the vessel or pose problems with the disposal of these sediments.
The Port of San Francisco arranged for a reconnaissance inspection of Drydock #1 on May 19, 2006
to determine access to the vessel, particularly access to the compartments below decks. Safety
issues were also evaluated. Entry by personnel was not attempted but manholes and hatches were
opened for visual inspections from the deck. Based upon observations during the reconnaissance,
sampling of sediments and water within the drydock holds was carried out on March 27-30, 2007.
For sediments within the hull compartments, samples for full scan chemistry were obtained as
follows:
Wing compartment composite (both port and starboard) as sediments were visually similar.
Center deck flotation compartments - Red rust colored sediments.
Port and starboard deck flotation compartments - Grey colored sediments.
For water within the hull compartments, samples for full scan chemistry were obtained as follows:
Wing compartment composite (both port and starboard).
Center deck flotation compartments - Red rust colored sediments with clear water.
Center deck flotation compartment with cloudy water.
Port and starboard deck flotation compartments - Grey colored sediments with clear water.
Three sediment samples for full scan chemistry were obtained by compositing individual
compartment samples together. One sample (Wing Compartment) was formed from the port and
starboard wing compartments and represents about 200 cubic yards of material. A second sample
(Deck Compartment Grey) was formed from the port and starboard deck compartments and
represents approximately 1200 cubic yards of material. The final sample (Deck Compartment Red)
was formed from the center deck compartments and represents approximately 40 cubic yards of
material.
Four water samples for full scan chemistry were obtained by compositing individual compartment
samples together. One sample (Wing Tank) was formed from the port and starboard wing
compartments that contained water. A second sample (Deck Tank Grey) was formed from the port
and starboard deck compartments. The third sample (Deck Tank Red) was formed from the center
deck compartments. The final sample (Cloudy Water) was from one center compartment (#8).
A best estimate of the thickness of the sediment in each of the compartments was also tabulated
and used to obtain a rough estimate of sediment volume.

Wing Compartments. Eight of the thirteen compartments sampled contained small areas of
standing water. Since the great majority of these spaces were dry, the sediment samples taken
were generally dry, caked on material that needed to be fragmented to be removed. Sediments
were tan, light grey or reddish brown and usually had moderate to heavy accumulations of rust
fragments mixed into them.
Center Deck Flotation Compartments. All center deck compartments contained water. Sediment
samples taken from the center deck compartments were saturated and most were difficult to sample
due to their light (1-3 inch deep) accumulations. Sediments were mixes of red and black or red and
grey material with one exception which was almost all black in color. Most samples contained high
percentages (50-90%) of rust fragments and light to heavy amounts of petroleum product.
Port and Starboard Deck Flotation Compartments. All port and starboard deck compartments
also contained water. Sediment samples taken from these compartments were saturated with water.
Sediments were generally grey in color with a silt-like consistency.
Results of Water Sample Testing
The amount of water present in each hull compartment was roughly estimated from depth
measurements, observations, and drydock structure dimensions and was tabulated for each
compartment. Approximately 1 million gallons of water are present in these hull compartments.
Chemical analyses of the composite water samples were carried out. At the request of the Port, only
total metals were included in the analyte list since disposal in ambient Bay waters was not being
considered and comparisons with ambient salt water criteria was not required.
Waters in the hull tanks were clear, fresh to slightly brackish generally of 1-2 ppt (parts per thousand
salinity) with the highest being 7 ppt. Measurements of pH were typically close to 8.0 (Table 6). Oil
& Grease values were below the project detection limit (<5 mg/l) and volatile fuel concentrations
were in the general range of 3.5 to 4.9 mg/l. Total PAHs were measured at 2-4 ng/l which is less
than the project reporting limit. Asbestos was absent and organotins, herbicides, chlorinated
hydrocarbons and PCBs were all below project detection limits.
Only total metals were requested to be analyzed as part of this screening program. All measured
concentrations of trace metals were very low. With the exception of copper and mercury, all total
metals concentrations were below dissolved criteria described in Table 3-3 of the San Francisco
Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) Basin Plan. Total copper measurements only slightly higher
than the current dissolved criteria for the 4-day average (3.1 ug/L) and 1-hour average (4.8 ug/L) but
were less than both the acute and chronic site specific criteria in a Basin Plan amendment that is
under review. Total mercury concentrations were only slightly higher than Basin Plan criteria.
Results of Sediment Sample Testing
Rough estimates of the volumes of sediment present in each hull compartment inspected were also
tabulated for each compartment. A total of approximately 1,400 cubic yards of sediment was
estimated to exist within these hull compartments based upon estimates of sediment depth obtained
from measurements and from observations with hull structure members of known dimensions.
Results of chemical analyses were obtained from the three composite sediment samples formed
from the Wing Tank samples, and from the Deck Tank (Red) and Deck Tank (Grey) sediments
respectively. Water content was highly variable among the three composite samples. The Wing
Tank composite sediment sample had low moisture (10%), the Deck Tank (Red) was 30% moisture,
and the Deck Tank (Grey) had a soupy consistency and was had a moisture content of 70 percent.

These sediment samples contained elevated levels of petroleum hydrocarbons with Oil & Grease
values of 9,000-41,000 mg/kg-dry, fuel volatiles analyses of 15,000-42,000 mg/kg-dry, and total
PAHs ranging up to 23,000 ug/kg-dry.
Total metals concentrations were also elevated in these samples. Just for comparison purposes,
ambient Bay sediment quality guidance criteria and Title 22 TTLC values are also tabulated. Note
that the TTLC criteria are on a wet weight basis.
Copper (512-1366 mg/kg-dry) and zinc (1468-9266 mg/kg-dry) values were particularly elevated
though neither exceeded the Title 22 TTLC criteria for hazardous waste after corrections for
moisture contents.
Mercury values were also elevated but were less than the TTLC when converted to a wet weight
basis. Two samples (Wing Tank and Deck Tank Grey) exceeded ten times the STLC criteria (0.2
mg/l) and thus were subjected to a WET test. The results of these WET tests showed that these
sediment samples did not exceed STLC criteria.
Asbestos was absent and herbicides, chlorinated hydrocarbons and PCBs were all below detection
limits in the composite sediment samples from the hull tanks,

INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE

Drydock # 1 is an old floating drydock currently tied up at Berth 70 in the Port of San Francisco
(Figure 1). The Drydock is approximately 584 feet long by 128 feet wide. It consists of crosssectional units joined together to form the drydock. Each cross-section has two wing compartments
port and starboard, two main flotation compartments one on each side, and a central member
compartment along the centerline of the vessel, each compartment is sealed from the others with
bulkheads. When the drydock was in operation, the sectional compartments were flooded to sink
the drydock for acceptance of vessels to service, and were then pumped out to re-float the drydock.
An overall picture of Drydock #1 is shown in Figure 1, including piles of exfoliated rust debris on
deck. At each end of the drydock, a folded outrigger structure rests on the deck covering each of the
bow and stern compartments. This structure was designed to be deployed outboard for additional
work space when a ship was in the drydock.
The Port of San Francisco desires to develop an RFP document that would allow the Port to obtain
credible and competitive bids for the ultimate disposal of Drydock # 1. The purpose of this project is
to develop data on safety and environmental hazards associated with this drydock that will be
needed to structure a RFP for potential bidders.
Kinnetic Laboratories, working in the Moffatt & Nichol team, was responsible for sampling sediments
and water present in the hull in order to determine whether environmental hazards exist that would
impact work on the vessel or disposal of these sediments. At this stage of the investigation,
direction from the Port of San Francisco was to generally characterize sediments and water in the
various hull compartments, but not to exhaustively sample, analyze, and determine composition and
volumes in each hull compartment. Therefore, the scope of work was to first do an initial
reconnaissance survey of access to these compartments along with an evaluation of associated
safety issues. Then a plan was developed and implemented to characterize these sediments and
waters by sampling and chemical analyses. Compositing of samples from multiple, similar hull
compartments was used to control the number of samples and attendant costs for analytical
chemistry.

METHODS

3.1

Reconnaissance Study Methods

The reconnaissance study consisted of an inspection of Drydock #1, with emphasis on determining
access through manholes and hatches to the interior hull compartments. Entry by personnel was
not attempted but manholes and hatches were opened for visual inspections from the deck. Hull
compartments were inspected from above by aid of a 2-million candlepower handheld spotlight.
Photographs were taken with a digital camera. A lead line was used to measure the depth of the
water in each compartment that was opened, and the distance to the bottom materials as a rough
estimate of the amount of sediment within the compartment. A salinity probe was used in a few of
the compartments to determine whether the water present was saltwater or fresh, rainwater in origin.
3.2

Sampling and Laboratory Analyses Methods

In order to characterize sediments and water within the hull compartments an approach was
developed to obtain measurements of sediment thickness and both water and sediment samples
working from above through the existing manholes and access doors because of observed and
unknown safety hazards.
The number of accessible hull compartments was 35 (22 deck compartments; 13 wing
compartments). Individual compartments were sampled for sediment and water through one or two
points (manhole or door). Some deck compartments had more than one manhole that were
designated as A or B (A closest to bow). One sample from each compartment was archived for
possible future analysis.
Grab samples were used to obtain water samples. The water depths and estimated sediment
depths were taken with lead line measurements. Due to variable sediment thickness found in some
compartments, depth of sediment was further refined using visual estimations based on known
structural dimensions within the compartments. Sediment sampling was also done with grab
sampling techniques. Using a long sampling pole, scrapes of sediment samples within the hull
compartments were taken with large stainless steel spoons, with a petite ponar grab at two sites,
and with "breadbox" grabs at the remaining sites.
Sediment and water samples were taken from each accessible hull compartment of the dry dock.
Since the contaminants of concern are unknown to begin with, some wide scan lists of analytes were
done. Doing full analytical work on all samples would be very expensive and probably not be cost
effective. Therefore a compositing scheme was devised. Proportional composites based on
compartment dimensions and sediment or water depths were formed from compartments grouped
by position and sediment color (red or grey) and in the case of water - clarity.
Samples for full scan chemistry of sediments were obtained as follows:

Wing compartment composite (both port and starboard) as sediments were visually similar.
Center deck flotation compartments - Red rust colored sediments.
Port and starboard deck flotation compartments - Grey colored sediments.

Samples for full scan chemistry of water were obtained as follows:

Wing compartment composite (both port and starboard).


Center deck flotation compartments - Red rust colored sediments with clear water.
Center deck flotation compartment with cloudy water.
Port and starboard deck flotation compartments - Grey colored sediments with clear water.

The sediment samples were analyzed for percent solids, oil & grease, dissolved sulfides, asbestos,
metals (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Hg, Ni, Se, Ag, Zn), butyltins (tri-, di-, mono-, and tetra-), chlorinated
pesticides, petroleum hydrocarbons as diesel, motor oil, and bunker fuel, and polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs). In addition, the sediment was tested for Title 22 elements including metals
(Sb, Ba, Be, Co, Mo, Tl, V), 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid, 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxy propionic acid,
pentachlorophenol, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Water was analyzed for a similar list of
analytes as the sediment minus the Title 22 elements and sediment specific constituents.
Chemical analyses were run by State Certified analytical chemistry laboratories. Metals and
organics analyses were carried out by CRG Marine Laboratories, asbestos analyses in sediment
and water samples from the hull compartments were conducted by TEM Laboratories, and
conventional parameters (pH, percent solids, oil and grease, and dissolved sulfides) by Soil Control
Lab.
USEPA approved analytical protocols were used to analyze both the water and the sediment
samples obtained from the interior of the hull compartments of Drydock #1. Analytical methods,
target reporting limits, and QA/QC requirements are summarized in Tables 1 to 3.

Reconnaissance Study

The Port of San Francisco arranged for a reconnaissance inspection of Drydock #1 on May 19,
2006. The purpose of the reconnaissance was to determine access to the vessel, particularly
access to the compartments below decks. Safety issues were also evaluated.
Access to the below deck compartments was gained by way of manholes on the deck. One set of
manholes in the middle of the vessel accessed the center compartments. Two other sets accessed
the port and starboard flotation compartments. These latter manholes were in lines located toward
the center of the vessel. Access to the wing compartments was by interior doors. Entry to below
deck compartments was not attempted. Access to the bow and stern section compartments was
blocked by the outrigger section laying on the deck and blocking the manholes.
An aerial photograph of Drydock #1 is shown in Figure 1. The schematic numbering of the hull
compartments is shown in Figure 2. Deck views are shown in Figure 3. A few sample photographs
of the vessel compartments are shown in Figures 4 through 12, and results are summarized in Table
4. Considerable structure was observed within the below deck compartments, access ladders were
badly rusted, unknown rust and overhead hazards probably exist all making confined space entry
problematic.
Estimated water levels in the below deck compartments ranged from 1 to 5 feet deep and were
essentially freshwater, with only the second forward compartment having detectable salinities of 1-7
ppm. The majority of the 18 accessible deck manhole inspections showed light (6 inches or less) of
rust colored sediment material. Moderate thickness (estimated at 12-18 inches) of sediment
occurred in 2 or 3 of the compartments. Wing compartments contained grey sediment mixed with
exfoliating rust fragments.

Sampling and Laboratory Analyses Results

Description of Sediment Samples

Sediment samples taken from the individual hull compartments are tabulated in Table 5 along with
sample descriptions. A best estimate of the thickness of the sediment in each of the compartments is
also tabulated in Table 5 for use in obtaining a rough estimate of sediment volume. A brief summary of
these sample descriptions and sample photographs of the samples follow below.
Wing Compartments
Eight of the thirteen compartments sampled contained small areas of standing water. Since the great
majority of these spaces were dry, the sediment samples taken were generally dry, caked on material that
needed to be fragmented to be removed. Sample photographs of the interior of two of these
compartments are shown in Figure 12. Sediments were tan, light grey or reddish brown and usually had
moderate to heavy accumulations of rust fragments mixed into them. Photographs of some of the
samples can be seen in Figures 13 and 14.
Center Deck Flotation Compartments
All center deck compartments contained water. Sediment samples taken from the center deck
compartments were saturated and most were difficult to sample due to their light (1-3 inch deep)
accumulations. Sediments were mixes of red and black or red and grey with one exception which was
almost all black in color. Most samples contained high percentages (50-90 %) of rust fragments and light
to heavy amounts of petroleum product. Representative photographs of the samples can be seen in
Figures 15 and 16.
Port and Starboard Deck Flotation Compartments
All port and starboard deck compartments also contained water. Sediment samples taken from these
compartments were saturated. Sediments were generally grey in color with a silt-like consistency.
Photographs of some of the samples can be seen in Figures 17, 18, and 19.
4.2.2

Water Samples

Water samples taken from the hull compartments are summarized in Table 6 along with observations of
water clarity and summary results of pH and salinity measurements. A measurement of water depth or
estimated volume in each compartment is also provided.
4.2.3

Composite Sample Formation

Proportional composite samples based on dimensions and sediment or water depths were formed from
compartments grouped by position and sediment color (red or grey) and in the case of water - clarity.
Three sediment samples for full scan chemistry were obtained by compositing individual compartment
samples together. One sample (Wing Tank) was formed from the port and starboard wing
compartments and represents about 200 cubic yards of material. A second sample (Deck Tank Grey)
was formed from the port and starboard deck compartments and represents approximately 1200 cubic
yards of material. The final sample (Deck Tank Red) was formed from the center deck compartments
and represents approximately 40 cubic yards of material.

Four water samples for full scan chemistry were obtained by compositing individual compartment samples
together. One sample (Wing Tank) was formed from the port and starboard wing compartments
containing water and represents approximately 10,000 cubic feet of water. A second sample (Deck Tank
Grey) was formed from the port and starboard deck compartments containing approximately 207,000
cubic feet of clear water. The third sample (Deck Tank Red) was formed from the center deck
compartments containing approximately 15,000 cubic feet of clear water. The final sample (Cloudy
Water) was from one center compartment (#8) containing approximately 7,000 cubic feet of cloudy water.
Individual compartment samples were also archived for future analyses if necessary.
4.2.4

Results of Water Sample Testing

The amount of water present in each hull compartment was roughly estimated from depth measurements,
observations, and drydock structure dimensions. These rough estimates are tabulated in Table 7 which
shows that a total of approximately 1 million gallons of water are present in these hull compartments.
Results of chemical analyses of the composite water samples are given in Table 8. At the request of the
Port, only total metals were included in the analyte list since disposal in ambient Bay waters was not
being considered and comparisons with ambient salt water criteria was not required.
Waters in the hull tanks were clear, fresh to slightly brackish generally of 1-2 ppt (parts per thousand
salinity) with the highest being just over 7 ppt. Measured pH values were typically close to 8.0 (Table 6).
Oil & grease values were low (<5 mg/l) and volatile fuel concentrations were in the general range of 3.5 to
4.9 mg/l (Table 8). Total PAHs were measured at 2-4 ng/l which is less than the project reporting limit.
Asbestos was absent and organotins, herbicides, chlorinated hydrocarbons and PCBs were all below
project detection limits.
Only total metals were requested to be analyzed as part of this screening program. All measured
concentrations of trace metals were very low. With the exception of copper and mercury, all total metals
concentrations were below dissolved criteria described in Table 3-3 of the San Francisco Water Quality
Control Board (RWQCB) Basin Plan. Total copper measurements only slightly higher than the current
dissolved criteria for the 4-day average (3.1 ug/l and 1-hour average (4.8 ug/l) but were less than both
the acute and chronic site specific criteria in a Basin Plan amendment that is under review. Total mercury
concentrations were only slightly higher than Basin Plan criteria.
4.2.5

Results of Sediment Sample Testing

Rough estimates of the volumes of sediment present in each hull compartment inspected are also given
in Table 7. A total of approximately 1,400 cubic yards of sediment was estimated to exist within these hull
compartments based upon rough estimates of sediment depth from measurements and from
observations with hull structure members of known dimensions. These rough depths tabulated in Table 5
were then multiplied by the known compartment bottom areas to reach these estimates of sediment
volume. Results of chemical analyses of the three composite sediment samples are given in Table 9.
These composite sediments were those formed from the Wing Tank samples, and from the Deck Tank
(Red) and Deck Tank (Grey) sediments respectively. Water content was highly variable among the three
composite samples. The Wing Tank composite sediment sample had low moisture (10%), the Deck Tank
(Red) was 30% moisture, and the Deck Tank (Grey) had a soupy consistency and was had a moisture
content of 70 percent.
These sediment samples were elevated in petroleum hydrocarbons with Oil & Grease values of 9,00041,000 mg/kg-dry, fuel volatiles analyses of 15,000-42,000 mg/kg-dry, and total PAHs ranging up to
23,000 ug/kg-dry.
Total metals concentrations were also elevated in these samples as shown in Table 9. Just for
comparison purposes, ambient Bay sediment quality guidance criteria and Title 22 TTLC values are also
tabulated in Table 9. Note that the TTLC criteria are a wet weight basis. Copper (512-1366 mg/kg-dry)
and zinc (1468-9266 mg/kg-dry) values were particularly elevated though neither exceeded the Title 22
TTLC criteria for hazardous waste after corrections for moisture contents.
21

Mercury values were also elevated but were less than the TTLC when converted to a wet weight basis.
Concentrations of mercury in two samples (Wing Tank and Deck Tank Grey) exceeded ten times the
STLC criteria (0.2 mg/l wet weight), and were subjected to a WET test. The results of these WET tests
(Table 10) showed that these sediment values did not exceed STLC criteria.
Asbestos was absent and herbicides, chlorinated hydrocarbons and PCBs were all below detection limits
in the composite sediment samples from the hull tanks,.

APPENDIX A: QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL REPORT


Kinnetic Laboratories conducts all activities in accordance with formal QA/QC procedures. Quality
Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) consists of evaluating the laboratory quality control samples for
compliance associated with the field sampling and laboratory. Laboratory QA/QC activities provide
information needed to assess potential laboratory contamination, analytical precision and
representativeness. The overall QA objective is to ensure that data of known and acceptable quality are
provided. The primary indicators used to evaluate the quality of the data are precision, accuracy,
representativeness, comparability and completeness.
Field Quality Control includes adherence to SOPs and formal sample documentation and tracking.
Analytical chemistry Quality Control is formalized by EPA and State Certification agencies, and involves
internal quality control checks such as method blanks, matrix spike/spike duplicates, duplicates,
surrogates and calibration standards. All analytical data collected for this sediment testing program have
undergone QA/QC evaluation according to EPA National Functional Guidelines for inorganic and organic
data review (USEPA, 1999; 2001; 2002).
1.0

QA/QC METHODS

The overall quality of the dataset is determined to a large degree by the thoroughness, accuracy and
precision of the laboratory QC records, which explains why the majority of this section is devoted to
examining them in detail. The QC is tabulated by category and each is discussed individually. Generally,
the results were well within the appropriate ranges and limits and any significant exceptions and any
resulting data qualifications are presented in detail in this section and reflected in the summary tables
found in the main body of the document.
1.1

Precision

Precision provides an assessment of mutual agreement between repeated measurements. These


measurements may apply to laboratory duplicates (DUP), matrix spike duplicates (MSD) and laboratory
control sample duplicates (LCSD). Monitoring of precision through the process allows for the evaluation of
the consistency of field sampling and laboratory analyses.
The Relative Percent Difference (RPD) is used to evaluate duplicate samples. The RPD is calculated as:

x x

1
2

RPD = 100
1 (x + x )

1
2
2

1.2

where:

x1 = Concentration of sample 1 of the pair


x 2 = Concentration of sample 2 of the pair

Accuracy

An assessment of the accuracy of measurements is based on determining the percent difference


between measured values and known or true values applied to surrogates, Matrix Spikes (MS),
Laboratory Control Samples (LCS) and Standard Reference Materials (SRM). Surrogates and matrix
spikes evaluate matrix interferences on analytical performance, while laboratory control samples,
standard reference materials and blank spikes (BS) evaluate analytical performance in the absence of
matrix effects.

A-1

In general, Percent Recovery is calculated as:

Measured _ Value

% R = 100
True _ Value

Matrix Spike recoveries take into account the concentration of the source sample.

Measured _ Value Sample _ Value

% RMS = 100
True _ Value

1.3

Representativeness, Comparability and Completeness

Representativeness is the degree to which data accurately and precisely represents the natural
environment.
Comparability is the measure of confidence with which one dataset can be compared to another. The use
of standardized methods of chemical analysis and field sampling and processing are ways of insuring
comparability. The implementation of thorough QA/QC methods such as field duplicates and laboratory
QC is essential.
Completeness is a measure of the percentage of the data judged valid after comparison with specific
validation criteria. This includes data lost through accidental breakage of sample containers or other
activities that result in irreparable loss of samples. Implementation of standardized Chain-of-Custody
procedures which track samples as they are transferred between custodians is one method of
maintaining a high level of completeness.
A high level of completeness was essential to all phases of this study due to the limited number of
samples. Of course, the overall goal is to obtain completeness of one hundred percent, however, a
realistic data quality objective of 95% insures an adequate level of data return.
Close adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) assures that the resulting data is
representative, complete and comparable. The results are further assessed with a thorough validation
process.

DATA QUALITY ASSESSMENT PROCESS

For this testing program, please refer to the following tables for specific QC procedures and objectives
employed: Table A-1 summarizes the laboratory QC for sediment and water chemical analyses; Table A2 summarizes sediment QC Objectives; and Table A-3 identifies laboratory QC requirements and data
quality objectives for water chemistry.

The EPA guidance documents are clear that data review and qualification rules are to be tempered using
professional judgment. The specific data qualifications as they apply to this project are discussed in the
following section.
3.0

ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY QA/QC

This section address individual quality control associated with sampling handling and laboratory analysis.
Sediment and water records are discussed separately.
3.1

Holding Times

In the case of sediments, appropriate holding times are still the subject of debate. Kinnetic Laboratories
has adopted a conservative approach and requests 14 days to sample preparation for organic analyses in
sediment and 7 days for sulfides. Metals have a 6-month holding time. Holding times were generally met
for the sediment samples associated with this project. However, sample preparation for herbicides in
sediments was done approximately 5 weeks after the 14 day (2 week) window. No qualification of these
data was necessary as all analytes were not measured above the reporting limit. In addition, herbicides
were also not measured above the reporting limit in any of the water samples which were run within
holding times.
The only water quality sample which did not meet holding times was the pH analysis for the composite
water sample Deck Tank Grey. This test pH analyses should be performed immediately and while this
was a composite sample analysis performed in the analytical laboratory, discrete grab samples performed
during sampling compare with this result. No qualification of this data was deemed necessary.
Waste Extraction Tests (WET) were conducted on two of the sediment samples to analyze for soluble
mercury. Mercury analyses should be conducted within 28 days. Review of the laboratory data from the
bulk sediment composites revealed that concentrations of total mercury in two samples were sufficient to
warrant WET testing. Although WET testing was not initially specified in the original study plan, samples
were resubmitted for this test approximate one month past the 28 day holding time in order to develop
additional information on these sediments. No mercury was detected in the WET tests above a reporting
limit of 0.01 mg/l but results of these additional tests should be considered as estmates.

A-8

3.2

Blanks

Method and filter blanks were run on carbon free water to assess contamination introduced in the
laboratory. In all cases, procedural blanks for sediment and water did not contain any quantifiable
concentrations indicating the methods and equipment used were free of or did not introduce
contamination.
3.3

Laboratory Replicates

The control limit established for laboratory replicate relative percent differences (RPDs) for all chemical
constituents are listed in Tables A-2 and A-3. Water and sediment RPDs met QA/QC objectives, with the
following exceptions:

The laboratory replicates for PAHs in sediment for most of the detected analytes in the composite
sample Deck Tank Grey had elevated RPD values. The sample was heterogeneous and
sample homogeneity could not be readily achieved using routine laboratory practices. Analytes
from this sample which did not meet RPD QC Objectives were qualified J where the associated
value is an estimated quantity.

The laboratory replicates for four metals (cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel) in sediment in the
composite sample Wing Tank had slightly elevated RPD values (33 to 51%). This is probably a
reflection of sample heterogeneity. These four metals in this Wing Tank composite sample
were qualified J where the associated value is an estimated quantity.

3.3

Laboratory Control Samples

All Laboratory control samples associated with this project were well within QC limits indicating proper
analytical performance in the absence of matrix effects.
3.4

Matrix Spikes/Matrix Spike Duplicates

Matrix Spike and Matrix Spike Duplicates (MS/MSD) percent recoveries were evaluated to determine
acceptable accuracy based on method-specific percent recoveries. Precision was evaluated by
calculating the RPD of the MS/MSD recovery results.
The general rule is that when spikes are reported below the accepted range they indicate a low bias to
the results and when reported above the accepted range they indicate a high bias. However, if the spike
concentration was low in comparison with the sample concentration, a poor recovery is not in itself
indicative of a QC problem. Quality control limits for MS/MSD recoveries and RPDs for water and
sediment matrices are listed in Tables A-2 and A-3. Data that did not meet established QC objects are as
follows:

Both MS and MSD percent recoveries for chlorinated pesticides in sediments were below the
acceptable QC recovery limits for sixteen (2,4-DDD; 2,4-DDE; 4,4-DDT; aldrin; BHC-beta;
BHC-delta; dieldrin; endosulfan-I; endosulfan-II; endrin; endrin aldehyde; endrin ketone;
heptachlor; mirex; oxychlordane; and perthane) of the thirty-one analytes. Since blank spike and
surrogate recoveries for all chlorinated pesticides were within QC limits, matrix spike recovery
appears to be out of control due to matrix interference in the specific sample for the sixteen listed
compounds. Given that these sixteen compounds were not detected in the Deck Tank Grey
composite sample and that the chemical makeup of the sediments may mask their presence, the
sample results for these compounds in this specific sample were qualified UJ. The MSD
percent recovery for dicofol was also below QC limits but the MS percent recovery was within QC
limits. No qualification of this compound was deemed necessary since all other QC requirements
were met.

Both MS and MSD percent recoveries were above QC limits for tributyltin in sediments. Spike
recovery limits do not apply resulting from the parameter concentration in the sample exceeding
A-9

the spike concentration. Since all blank spike and surrogate recoveries for butyltins were within
QC limits, only the associated Deck Tank Grey composite sample was qualified J+ where the
tributyltin value should be considered a high estimate.

Both MS and MSD percent recoveries for PCB congeners in sediments were below the
acceptable QC recovery limits for seventeen (PCB congeners 018, 028, 031, 033, 037, 044, 049,
052, 066, 070, 074, 077, 081, 087, 097, 099, and 101) of the forty-seven congeners. Since blank
spike and surrogate recoveries for all PCB congeners were within QC limits, matrix spike
recovery appears to be out of control due to matrix interference in the specific sample for the
seventeen listed congeners. Given that these seventeen congeners were not detected in the
Deck Tank Grey composite sample and that the chemical makeup of the sediments may mask
their presence, the sample results for these congeners in this specific sample were qualified UJ.
The MS percent recoveries for six other PCB congeners (PCB congeners 095, 114, 126, 141,
157, and 169) were also below QC limits but the MSD percent recovery was within QC limits. In
addition, the MSD percent recovery for PCB congener 119 was below QC limits but the MS
percent recovery was within QC limits. No qualification of these seven congeners was deemed
necessary since they were not detected above the reporting limit and all other QC requirements
were met.

Both MS and MSD percent recoveries for PAHs in sediments were above the acceptable QC
recovery limits for nine (ben[a]anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[b]fluoranthene,
benzo[e]pyrene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, chrysene, fluoranthene, perylene, and pyrene) of the
twenty-five analytes. Since blank spike and surrogate recoveries for all PAHs were within QC
limits, matrix spike recovery appears to be out of control due to matrix interference in the specific
sample (Deck Tank Grey) for the nine listed compounds.
Six of these analytes
(ben[a]anthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, benzo[e]pyrene, benzo[k]fluoranthene, fluoranthene, and
perylene) were already qualified J due to elevated RPD values from laboratory replicates and
were therefore further qualified to J+ where the associated values should be considered a high
estimate. In addition, the other three analytes (benzo[b]fluoranthene, chrysene, and pyrene) and
the values for total high weight PAHs and total PAHs were also qualified J+. The MS percent
recoveries for three other analytes (1-methylphenanthrene, anthracene, and phenanthrene) were
also below QC limits but the MSD percent recovery was within QC limits. No qualification of
these three compounds was deemed necessary since they were not detected above the reporting
limit and all other QC requirements were met.

3.5

Blank Spike/Blank Spike Duplicates (BS/BSDs)

BS/BSDs were performed for conventional analytes to assess precision and accuracy in the absence of
matrix interferences. In all cases BS/BSD data met QC objectives.
3.6

Surrogate Recoveries

Surrogate analytes behave similarly to the target analytes. Surrogate spikes are introduced into the
samples at specific concentrations and are used to provide a measure of instrument and method
performance and to indicate sample-specific matrix effects. All surrogate spikes where within the
acceptable recovery ranges.
3.7

Reporting Limits

Reporting limits were met with the following exception:

Although total metals in water was reported down to the MDL (method detection limit), some of
these MDLs were higher than the requested target reporting limit in three (Wing Tank, Deck
Tank Red, and Cloudy Water) of the four water samples. Arsenic, copper, nickel, selenium and
zinc had slightly higher MDLs than the requested target reporting limit but all had measured
values greater than the used MDL so there is no issue with these analytes. Neither cadmium or
silver, with target reporting limits of 0.1 ug/L, were measured above their respective 0.2 ug/L and
0.5 ug/L MDLs in these three samples. Cadmium was measured in the Deck Tank Red sample
A-10

at 0.025 ug/L and it is possible that it may be found in such low levels in the other samples too.
Silver was not measured in the Deck Tank Red sample at 0.02 ug/L which was lower than the
project reporting limit of 0.1 ug/L. In either case, levels for cadmium and silver in the water
samples analyzed are very low.

3.9

A target reporting limit of 50-200 ug/L was requested for TPH diesel, motor oil, bunker fuel in
water. The reporting limit for these analytes was raised in two (Wing Tank and Cloudy Water)
of the four samples. A dilution factor of 2 and 3, respectively, of the original samples was
required to perform the analyses. A reporting limit of 1 mg/Kg was requested for these same
analytes in sediment. A dilution factor of 100 of the original sample was required in all cases to
perform the analyses. These increased reporting limits are not an issue with these elevated
measured values.

Target reporting limits of 0.25 ug/L in water was not met for 2,4-D and 2,4,5-TP (Silvex). The
target reporting limit of 50 ug/kg in sediment was not met for 2,4-D. In water, 2,4-D was not
measured above a reporting limit of 5.0 ug/L and 2,4,5-TP (Silvex) was not measured above a
reporting limit of 0.50 ug/L. In sediment, 2,4-D was not measured above a reporting limit of 100
ug/kg. The sample reporting limits used are still low values and this should not be an issue.

Target reporting limits were not met for many of the organochlorine pesticides in water and
sediment, and this is reflected in the summary tables in the main body of the document. With the
exception of dicofol though, target reporting limits for all organochlorine pesticides in water were
met by reporting down to the MDLs of 0.001 to 0.01 ug/L. Although dicofol is reported as not
being measured above the reporting limit of 0.1 ug/L, it was also not detected above the MDL of
0.05 ug/L. All organochlorine pesticides in water were not measured at or above their respective
MDLs. In addition, all organochlorine pesticides in sediment were not measured at or above their
respective MDLs (1 to 10 ug/Kg).

The target reporting limit of 0.01 ug/L for PAHs was not met for four compounds (1methylphenanthrene, anthracene, phenanthrene, and pyrene) and this is reflected (100 ng/L or
0.1 ug/L) in the summary tables in the main body of the document. Regardless, none of these
compounds were measured above their method detection limit of 1 ng/L or 0.001 ug/L which is
well below the target reporting limit. As with PAHs in water, the same four compounds target
reporting limit for sediment of 10 ug/Kg was not met. With the exception of the Deck Tank Grey
sample for 1-methylphenanthrene, anthracene, and phenanthrene, all measured values were
above the listed reporting limit of 100 ug/Kg.
1-methylphenanthrene, anthracene, and
phenanthrene were not measured in the Deck Tank Grey sample above the MDL of 1 ug/Kg
which is well below the target reporting limit.

All requested data was received for this project.

CONCLUSIONS

The QA/QC results were generally in their proper range giving confidence to the overall accuracy and
precision of the analytical results. Findings presented are based on the validation of the data according
to the quality assurance objectives detailed in the Sampling and Analysis Plan and using guidance from
EPA National Functional Guidelines for inorganic and organic data review (USEPA, 1999 and 2002).
A careful review of the results confirmed that the laboratories met most project detection limits and that
most chemical analyses were completed within holding times.
QA/QC records for the sediment and water analyses included method blanks. None of the blank samples
contained any quantifiable concentrations indicating the methods and equipment used were free of or did
not introduce contamination.

A-11

Analytical accuracy and precision were evaluated with laboratory duplicates, laboratory control samples
and their duplicates, and matrix spikes and matrix spike duplicates, and blank spike and blank spike
duplicates. Most data was shown to be both accurate and precise. Although there was some minor
qualification performed on metals (cadmium, lead, mercury and nickel) and PAHs based on laboratory
replicates, and tributyltin based on elevated MS/MSD percent recoveries, the most significant qualification
involved elevated MS/MSD percent recoveries for PAH compounds. The elevated MS/MSD percent
recoveries for PAH compounds associated with the composite sediment sample Deck Tank Grey imply
that there was some matrix interference specific to the sample. This required qualification that the
associated sample values are likely elevated above actual true values.
Overall, evaluation of the QA/QC data indicates that the chemical data for the most part are within
established performance criteria and can be used for general characterization of sediments in the
proposed project area.

PROCEEDURE AND ANALYSIS


Marine equipment in general is built to be mobile and can be utilized anywhere in the world,
subject to the physical and economical mobility of the particular piece of equipment, its age and
general condition. In estimating the value of a particular piece of marine equipment, age,
condition and outfitting can be more important than current usage or local market conditions.
To determine the value of a piece of marine equipment, an attempt is made to utilize all three of
the following methods.

Cost Approach
To measure value by determining the current cost of producing a
new piece of equipment that will have equal utility and then deducting appropriate
amounts for the various elements of depreciation, generally referred to as physical
deterioration, functional obsolescence and economic obsolescence.
Market Approach To measure value by analyzing the results of recent sales of like or
similar equipment to arrive at the most likely selling price of the equipment being
appraised.
Income Approach To measure value by determining the current worth of the future
benefits of ownership. This is usually done through the capitalization of a specific
income.

When utilizing the cost approach we determine the equipments current replacement cost. This
is considered to be the construction of a piece of equipment of like design, capacity and
capability at current market rates. This value is then depreciated over the expected useful life of
a similar piece of equipment and adjusted up or down for actual condition of the equipment as
noted by the appraiser at the time of the appraisal to reflect the actual remaining life. These
conditions may include, but are not limited to, recent rebuilding, refurbishment, re-powering or
lack of maintenance and repair.
When utilizing the market approach we analyze the available information related to current sales
and offerings. The results are adjusted to reflect our opinion of the current market for the
particular type of equipment. This adjustment considers functional obsolescence and economic
obsolescence and is based upon constant contact with owners, operators, brokers, buyers and
sellers of marine equipment since our founding in 1983.
When utilizing value by income approach, complete historical data related to income flow and
all related expenses must be provided to appraiser in addition to capitalization rate criteria
required by the client.

TRIP IN TOW LIMITATIONS


Route
It is opinion of the undersigned that even though subject vessel will fit within the bounds of the
deck of a heavy lift Dry-Tow vessel such as the M/V BLUE MARLIN, the price of moving
such a vessel from Norway to the Port of San Francisco would cost prohibitive when compared
with other options such as a wet tow to a local facility to be disassembled as scrap iron. There is
also the high probability that the wasted structure of the subject dry-dock would collapse upon
the deck of the ship due to the stress placed upon it by swaying in a seaway therefore only
inshore towing routes should be considered.
Stability
As subject vessel was built to lift 20,000-ton ships and hold them on its deck, being towed
without any deck load does not present any stability problems unless vessel for any reason
develops a leak and takes on water to the extent that it cannot be overcome by onboard pumps.

TOWING PLAN
Towing Contractor
Selection: A contractor should be selected who can provide one minimum 2,000-hp twin screw
towing vessel and one 1,000-hp assist towing vessel.
Trip In Tow: Destination yet to be determined. Only local destinations within the San
Francisco Bay and accessible tributaries area should be considered. Once an actual destination is
decided upon, a detailed plan of route may be made.
Announcements: Trip in Tow movement shall be reported to and coordinated with local USCG
Vessel Traffic System.
Make-Up: Primary towing vessel to make up on stud link chain towing bridle; Assist towing
vessel will help towing vessel maneuver vessel away from dock, then make up to aft assist vessel
attachments to provide steerage as necessary.
Speed of Tow: Keep enough speed to maintain steerage, bearing in mind the deteriorated
condition of vessels hull. Estimated tow speed 2-3-knots.
Towing Vessel Recommendations
1. Vessel to proceed only with 24-hour weather window of winds less than 15-knots and
waves less than 4-ft.
2. Tow speed and course to be used as necessary to offset effect of wind and waves.
3. Tug Masters to observe tow for changed in tow draft and/or trim. Results of such
observation to be included with tug Masters report to surveyor.
4. Owners to be immediately advised of any event that adversely affects the security of the
tow.
5. Towing vessel to maintain hourly radio contact with vessel owners and progress reported.
6. Towing vessel crew to maintain towing lights and shapes.
7. Obtain any necessary assistance from other vessels for departure from BAE Shipyard and
arrival at destination.
8. In case of gear failure, reconnect immediately if possible, if necessary anchor tow, do not
leave tow unattended.
9. Tow is to be attended at all times from commencement to conclusion of tow.
10. Notify owners and owners surveyor at conclusion of tow.

NOTES
(A)

Last Dry-docking for bottom maintenance unknown.

(B)

Major hull repairs have not been reported necessary during this ownership, however
surveyor understands that subject vessel broke loose several years ago and sustained
bottom damage, some of which is visible above water level along the starboard side.

HIGEST AND BEST USE


The highest and best use for subject vessel is as salvage scrap metal.

VALUE METHODOLOGY
Cost: We know from previous jobs that vessels of this type generally cost about $900 per lift
ton equating to a replacement cost of about $18.9-million. This is confirmed by the present
marine steel construction cost of between $3,300 and $3,700 per long ton. At a mean of $3,500
per long ton the new cost replacement of subject 4,943-L/T vessel plus 7.5% for machinery
would be in the amount of $18.6-million. The mean of this amount is $18.75-million.
Income: Subject vessel no longer has utility as a marine dry-dock or any other type of marine
equipment. Therefore it has no ability to generate income with which to use as a basis for value
by income.
Market: There is no market for subject vessel save scrap metal. According to Scrapiron.net the
present price of this type of scrap is $180 per gross/long ton. Subject vessel original weight as
calculated by design draft was 4,943-L/Tons. After removing 33% for deterioration subject
vessels value could be no more than $593,000.00.
Vessels of this type generally sell as scarp for 5% of replacement cost. At $18.75-million that
5% would be $937,500. When the 33% waste is removed the estimated value is $624,000.00
Accordingly as we take the mean, our best estimate of current scrap value is in the amount of
$608,000.00. However, this market value would be considerably less due to expense allowances
that must be made to properly clean vessel, move it to a location for dismantling as well as any
permits, insurance and monitoring costs related thereto.

CONCLUSION
It is the opinion of the undersigned, as far as could be determined by the foregoing general
inspection, without making removals to expose parts normally concealed, or making borings or
ultrasonic measurements to ascertain thickness, or opening up machinery to ascertain exact
condition, that the vessel described herein, subject to compliance with the foregoing
recommendations and limitations, was found to be in unsatisfactory condition to continue in its
intended service and should be considered as use for salvage scrap only.
