Santa Ana Unified School District was one of The Reynolds Group's original clients in 1989. Since 1989, The Reynolds Group has provided many different types of environmental services to the School District.
Two decades ago Santa Ana Unified was awarded USEPA grants to fully abate two schools of asbestos over the summer time. The work required completely gutting the schools at the end of the school year, removing the asbestos, replacing the fireproofing and re-constructing the schools before school began in the fall. The Reynolds Group was engaged to plan the work, write the specifcations, assist in bidding the work, plan the project, and provide 24/7 project oversight and air monitoring. Both of the multi-million dollar projects were completed on time to the satisfaction of the School District. Over the decades, The Reynolds Group provided other services to SAUSD including hazardous materials inventorying, underground storage tank consulting and assessment services. As recently as 2006, The Reynolds Group was re-awarded the federally-mandated AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act) re-inspections contract in 2006 encompassing the entire Santa Ana Unified School District. |

| In 2005, TRG was selected through a competitive review of its qualifications by County of Riverside department heads. Much of the Riverside County work arises from condemnation cases where "time is of the essence". Because of TRGs effective, timely response to requests by the County of Riverside, our company was placed on the "go to" list and has become one of the primary environmental consultants to county. The county routinely acquires and disposes of real property assets. The county has looked to TRG to provide cost-effective and timely real estate due diligence consulting services for several years with dozens of assessments completed and value added to the real estate transaction process. |

Asbestos/ Lead/ Mold Consulting

| One of the largest national suppliers of baked products to McDonalds Restaurants needed to assess and mitigate soil contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons (hydraulic oil) inside of their leased Southern California production site. In addition, TRG was requested to provide asbestos related pre-demolition consulting advice. Approximately two years before its lease expired, Fresh Start Bakeries began the process of evaluating potential environmental impairment caused during its operation of an industrial bakery at the site. Fresh Start engaged The Reynolds Group because of our prudent approach to assessing and dealing with environmental liabilities. After performing a complete assessment, TRG quantified and budgeted the cost of remediation. To ensure there would be no issues with the landlord/property owner upon the expiration of it lease, Fresh Start Bakeries asked The Reynolds Group to proactively engage the regulatory agency, the County of Los Angeles Fire Department, to approve an expedited Remedial Action Plan. The Reynolds Group demolished the concrete floor and excavated approximately 400 tons of soil from the interior of the production building in confined conditions. Excavation was advanced until on-site laboratory analysis of the soils confirmed that levels of hydraulic oil met the cleanup levels pre-established by the Fire Department. In the end, Fresh Start Bakeries received a "No Further Action" letter with no restrictions on the sites future use. The Reynolds Group arranged for the safe transportation and disposal of the contaminated soils and restored the floor inside the building to its original condition. All of the work was completed under a tight timeline over a Thanksgiving Holiday. During decommissioning and demolition of the manufacturing equipment and tenant improvement, issues related to potential asbestos containing materials in building products and kilns arose. The Reynolds Group was engaged to assess the issues, provide solutions and engage and manage a contractor to abate the issues as required for Fresh Start Bakeries to move out of the premises with no residual liability. |
