1 1.0 INTRODUCTION
Tetra Tech Inc. (Tetra Tech) received a work authorization from the City of Rancho Cordova (City) to perform a soil cleanup at 10153 Folsom Boulevard in Rancho Cordova, California (the Site). The Site previously supported a multi-tenant shopping center, including a dry cleaner. The dry cleaner experienced of release of cleaning solvent (PCE) to the subsurface, impacting the northwest quadrant of the Site. The Site has been the focus of multiple rounds of subsurface investigation (soil, groundwater, soil vapor) as well as remediation efforts (groundwater and soil vapor extraction/treatment) by Others.
The Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) has been the lead regulatory agency. Remediation efforts have been discontinued and the Site was razed several years back, remaining vacant. Residual soil vapor concentrations remain above residential and commercial screening criteria, and residual soil impacts exist along the sanitary sewer that once served the dry cleaner. The purpose of the soil cleanup is to mitigate residual PCE concentrations in subsurface soils to reduce soil vapor concentrations below residential screening criteria.
The cleanup efforts are anticipated to include a combination of pre-excavation soil and groundwater profile sampling (sonic drill rig) followed by soil excavation in the northwest corner of the site to a depth of 15 feet below grade. The entire length of the on-site sanitary sewer line will be over-excavated (6- to 10-feet deep), which extends outside the excavation limits. The excavation will be designed by the selected contractors Competent Person, as defined by OSHA. Excavated soils will be temporarily stockpiled a short distance away and covered with visqueen while awaiting backfill of the soils to the excavation. The excavation limit encompasses an approximate 1.1-acrea area. Some or all existing groundwater and extraction wells (vapor extraction and groundwater) will require abandonment as some are in the proposed excavation area. It is anticipated that each well will be over-drilled and removed using a hollow stem auger drill rig.
Based on the results of the pre-excavation soil and groundwater profile sampling, and the soil stockpile profile sampling, chemical oxidant (potassium permanganate – KMnO4) soil treatment may be conducted. This may include directly mixing crystalline KMno4 into the excavated soil as it is backfilled and/or oxidant injections at select profile boring locations. The oxidant application rate will be based on a bench scale treatability study of the excavated soil and detected PCE concentrations in soil and groundwater. A temporary soil vapor extraction (SVE) system may also be installed and operated for an approximate 2-month duration, based on the results of the pre-excavation soil and groundwater profile sampling. Up to 20 soil vapor extraction wells will be installed and manifolded to an SVE system equipped with granular active carbon (GAC) emissions controls. The SVE system will be permitted by the local air district. An electrical power drop (by the local utility) will be necessary to operate the SVE system.
The site-specific health and safety provisions in this document have been developed for use during drilling and sampling activities, soil excavation, stockpiling, and backfill, and potential oxidant treatments and/or short-term soil vapor extraction. This document addresses items specified under Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), I "II; I TETRA TECH

This plan must be reviewed and approved by the Tetra Tech health and safety representative (HSR) and the Tetra Tech program and project managers (see the Reviews and Approvals Form after the Contents in this document). Specifications herein are subject to review and revision based on actual conditions encountered in the field during site activities. The HASP will be modified if the scope of work changes or if new information regarding site conditions, hazards, or contaminants of concern becomes available. If deviations are encountered from the field work plan, Tetra Tech and subcontractor personnel will notify the Project Lead and suspend work to assess changes to the work plan and the HASP. Significant revisions to this plan must be approved by the Tetra Tech program and project managers and the Tetra Tech HSR. Authorized modifications to the HASP will be tracked in the Record of Review/Revision [to be inserted into the HASP] and will be communicated to all project personnel.

8 3.0 SITE BACKGROUND
The Site is a multi-parcel commercial property, totaling 9.23-acres (Figure 1). All former buildings have been razed and the Site sits vacant with the former asphalt paved parking areas intact. A former on-Site dry cleaner (Veterans Cleaners) tenant space was located at 10161 Folsom Boulevard (Parcel -021) and operated from approximately 1970 to 2003. The dry cleaner reportedly utilized a 45 gallon above ground tank to store tetrachloroethane (PCE). Figures showing the footprint boundary of the former dry cleaner, and dry-cleaning equipment layout, were not found.
A release of PCE to the subsurface was first discovered at the Site in 2008 after samples of soil, groundwater and soil vapor were collected from multiple soil borings in the vicinity of the dry cleaner.
PCE was detected at concentrations up to:
34 micrograms per kilogram (µg/kg) in soil;
70,000 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) in soil gas; and 140 micrograms per liter (µg/L) in groundwater.
Total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPH-gas) was also detected in groundwater at a concentration of 100,000 µg/L in 2008. Subsequent TPH-gas and TPH-diesel concentrations were low to non-detect in groundwater monitoring wells through 2014. Benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylenes (BTEX) compounds also appear to have been non-detect in groundwater through 2019.
Elevated concentrations of lead were also detected in soil above environmental screening levels, along with one soil sample containing TPH-motor oil above the environmental screening level. These detections were not confirmed during later sampling.
Trichloroethene (TCE) and cis-1,2-dichlorethene (cis-1,2-DCE) were originally detected at concentrations above California maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) prior to groundwater remediation, but concentrations decreased to non-detect after remediation (discussed below).
Depth to groundwater at the site ranges from approximately 50 to 55 feet below ground surface (bgs), with a groundwater flow direction ranging from north to northeast.
Since 2008, multiple Site characterization sampling events have been conducted in support of delineating the extent of impacts to soil, soil vapor and groundwater, along with on-site remediation consisting of soil vapor extraction (SVE) and groundwater extraction. The CV-RWQCB has been the lead agency providing oversight of site characterization and remediation. • An SVE system operated at the site from approximately April 2011 through August 2016, removing approximately 7.8 pounds of PCE. PCE was detected in soil gas up to 70,000 µg/m3 prior to operation of the SVE system, and up to 280 µg/m3 following remediation. The RWQCB concurred that soil vapor had been adequately remediated and the SVE system was I "II; I TETRA TECH

9 subsequently dismantled. The SVE system was subsequently dismantled with concurrence from the RWQCB.
• A groundwater extraction system also operated at the site from April 2014 through August 2017 (shutdown due to vandalism). Approximately 11 million gallons of groundwater were extracted at approximately 10 gallons per minute and discharged (untreated) to the sanitary sewer from a single extraction well (EW-1). Well EW-1 is a 6-inch diameter extraction well screened from 45 to 75 feet bgs, with a reported radius of influence over 150-feet. PCE was detected in EW-1 at concentration of 150 µg/L prior to startup, decreasing to 11.5 µg/L during second quarter 2017.
An estimated 2.7 pounds of PCE was removed by groundwater extraction.
Soil gas and groundwater confirmation samples were most recently collected in the vicinity of the former dry cleaner during three sampling events in 2019 (March, April, and October) and one in July 2020 as part of additional site characterization activities. PCE was detected as follows:
• Up to 3,300 µg/m3 (5-feet bgs) and 1,600 µg/m3 (10 feet bgs) at sample location AVB-10, located along the sanitary sewer line, distant from the rear of the former dry cleaner; and Up to 18 µg/L in groundwater (EW-1). Upgradient well MW-5 contained PCE at a concentration of 6.77 µg/L. Downgradient well MW-1 was non-detect for PCE. Well MW-5 is located near the sanitary sewer line on La Loma (or the Site sewer lateral, depending on which figures are correct), presumed “downstream” from the former dry cleaner.
Tetra Tech conducted additional on-site soil and soil vapor sampling in December 2021 to evaluate current soil conditions along the sewer line, and to further evaluate soil vapor conditions south and east of the dry cleaner in areas not previously investigated. Low concentrations of PCE were detected in soil at two locations along the sewer line (TTSB5 and TTSB10) in both the 5- and 10-ft soil samples at concentrations ranging from 7.8 to 54 micrograms per kilogram (µg/Kg). Estimated low concentrations of PCE were detected in the 5-ft soil samples at three sewer line locations (TTSB4, TTSB6 and TTSB9) ranging from 1.3 to 4.7 µg/Kg. TCE was also detected at an estimated low concentration of 2.8 µg/Kg in the 5-ft soil sample from TTSB5. Low to estimated low concentrations of petroleum-related compounds (TPH-gas, naphthalene, toluene, trimethylbenzenes, and xylenes) were detected at locations TTSB6 through TTSB9. All soil detections were well below respective Environmental Screening Levels (ESLs) for human health (direct exposure) under both Residential and Commercial land use scenarios.
TPH, VOCs, and PCBs were not detected in the 5-ft or 10-ft composite soil samples from along the sewer line (TTCOMP-5 and TTCOMP-10). Low to estimated low concentrations of the organochlorine pesticides 4,4-DDE and dieldrin were detected in both the 5-ft and 10-ft composites soil samples.
Estimated low concentrations of the SVOCs pyrene and fluoranthene were detected in the 5-ft composite soil sample. Low to estimated concentrations of 11 metals (arsenic, barium, beryllium, chromium, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, vanadium, and zinc) were detected in both the 5-ft and 10-ft composite soil samples along the sewer line. The various detections of metals appear to represent naturally occurring background concentrations; no anomalous metals concentrations were detected.
None of the chemicals detected in the two composite soil samples exceed their respective Title 22 Total I "II; I TETRA TECH

10 Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC) values for classification as a hazardous waste (should the soil be excavated and transported off-site for disposal).
PCE was not detected above the laboratory reporting limit of 13 µg/m3 in the 30 soil vapor samples collected at 5-feet in depth. PCE was only detected in soil vapor at 15-feet in depth from two locations at concentrations of 54 µg/m3 (TTVMP7-15) and 14 µg/m3 (TTVMP13-15). Both detections are below the commercial PCE soil vapor ESL value of 67 µg/m3. Only location TTVMP7-15 exceeds the residential PCE soil vapor ESL value of 15 µg/m3 (at 54 µg/m3). PCE degradation compounds were not detected in any of the soil vapor samples. Low concentrations of petroleum-related compounds (xylenes and toluene) were detected in soil vapor at various depths at TTVP1, TTVP4, TTVP6, TTVP7 and TTVP10. The concentrations were well below their ESLs for commercial or residential uses.

11 4.0 SCOPE OF WORK
This section discusses the activities that are to be performed at the Site. Table 5-1 of this HASP provides information related to each of the tasks associated with the scope of work. The planned activities involved in this effort are presented in detail in the Tetra Tech Soil Cleanup Plan, 10153 – 10175 Folsom Boulevard, Rancho Cordova, California, dated March 15, 2022. If tasks other than those described below are to be performed, Table 5-1 and this section will be modified accordingly.
Field operations to be performed by Tetra Tech and subcontractor personnel include:
• Mark Site for USA/Utility Clearance
o Tetra Tech will mark all proposed drilling locations and soil excavation area and subcontract an on-site utility locator to scan the subsurface for utility conflicts. • Well Abandonment
o Eleven existing site wells will be abandoned before beginning soil excavation activities.
Tetra Tech will subcontract well abandonment through a CA- licensed well driller, and obtain drilling permits from Sacramento County. Tetra Tech will provide field oversight. • Pre-excavation Profile Drilling
o Tetra Tech will subcontract with a CA-licensed well driller to collect soil and groundwater samples from approximately 30 locations in a grid pattern. Soil samples will be collected at 5-foot intervals down to groundwater (approx. 55-feet), where a grab groundwater sample will also be collected. Tetra Tech will place samples in containers appropriate for selected analyses. County drilling permits are required for borings completed withing 20- feet of groundwater.
• Soil excavation, stockpiling, backfill and compaction o Tetra Tech or the Client will subcontract with a licensed excavation company to design the soil excavation in the northwest corner of the site, including removal of the section of sanitary sewer that extends outside the excavation limits to the east. The contractor will also coordinate with utility companies to abandon any utilities that enter the excavation arear. The excavation will be designed by an OSHA-competent person. The soil will be stockpiled and covered for subsequent profile sampling. Tetra Tech will provide field oversight.
• Stockpile profile sampling
o Tetra Tech will collect samples of the stockpiled soil for laboratory analysis. • Addition of Dry Oxidants to Soil During Backfill
o Based on the results of the profile sampling, a dry chemical oxidant (KMnO4) may be mixed into the soil during backfill and compaction. The excavation contractor or their subcontractor will perform this work utilizing personal protective equipment (PPE) recommended by the oxidant manufacturer. Tetra Tech will not be directly involved in this task.

12 • Air and Dust Monitoring
o During active soil excavation, stockpiling and backfill, Tetra Tech will perform perimeter air and dust monitoring. Monitoring instruments will include a photoionizing detector (PID), real-time dust monitors, and the periodic collection of air samples for laboratory analysis. A portable weather station will be set up to collect regular meteorological data.
The details of the air monitoring are presented in the Air Monitoring Plan. • Post-Backfill Oxidant Injections (optional)
o Following backfill and compaction to original grade and based on the results of the preexcavation profile drilling, liquid oxidants (KMnO4) may be injected into select soil borings. Tetra Tech will contract with a licensed CA-well driller to perform this task. Tetra Tech will provide field oversight. Appropriate PPE will be donned for handling the KMnO4, per manufacturer guidance and SDS information.
• Short-Term Soil Vapor Extraction (optional)
o Following backfill and compaction, and based on pre-excavation profile sampling, short term soil vapor extraction may be completed. Tetra Tech will contract with a licensed CAwell driller to install 15 to 20 soil vapor extraction wells to approximately 35 feet below grade. A subcontractor will supply and setup a temporary SVE system with granular activated carbon emissions control. As there is no power at the site, Tetra Tech will hire a subcontractor to install a power drop and wire the SVE trailer to the power supply. Tetra Tech will operate the SVE system for approximately 2-months, performing routine operations, maintenance, and system monitoring, including collection of compliance air samples. The SVE vendor will recycle or dispose of the spent carbon after system shutdown.
• Post-Cleanup Soil Vapor Sampling
o To assess the effectiveness of the soil cleanup activities, soil vapor samples will be collected from 30 locations, corresponding to the pre-excavation profile soil borings. The soil vapor sampling will be similar to recent soil vapor sampling events. Waterloo Membrane Samplers (WMS) will be installed at depths of 5-feet and 15-feet below grade.
The WMS samplers will be retrieved 48-hours following installation for laboratory analysis. Grout borings with neat cement. Tetra Tech will contract with a CA-licensed well driller to perform this work.

16 5.3 BIOLOGICAL HAZARDS
The Site is located within the City of Rancho Cordova and has been razed. Native vegetation (weeds) has grown across the former building footprints on the west half of the Site, and through cracks in the asphalt paved areas that remain, with the east half remaining vegetated. Therefore, biological hazards will be limited to urban animals such as rats, raccoons, possums, and feral cats and dogs that may be encountered during field operations. Personnel should look for signs of animal activities (i.e., tracks, foraging areas, etc.) and avoid those areas, where possible. Biting or stinging insects and spiders (e.g., fleas, mosquitos, etc.) may also be a potential concern.
Homeless persons have also been seen on-Site and residing in vehicles parked along La Loma Avenue.
For purposes of this HASP, site personnel are categorized as Class B in the Bloodborne Pathogens Program, which pertain to jobs where required tasks do not, but could involve exposure to blood, bodily fluids, or tissues – for example, in the event first aid or CPR is administered. The implementation of Universal Precautions will minimize the chance of contracting blood borne disease.
The Tetra Tech Safe Work Practice for Biohazards is provided in Appendix B.
5.4 TASK HAZARD ANALYSIS SUMMARY
Table 5-2 provides a task hazard analysis matrix of the planned field activities listed in Section 4.0 for quick identification of chemical, physical, and biological hazards that may be encountered as part of site conditions and that are inherent to one or more tasks. Table 5-3 provides a detailed list of required control measures for each site and task hazard listed in Table 5-2. The table also refers to Tetra Tech Safe Work Practices (SWP) which have been developed to address many common health and safety hazards. The SWPs must be reviewed prior to mobilization for understanding and hazard control planning purposes. The applicable SWPs should also be reviewed as part of the daily tailgate safety meeting to focus on that day’s planned work and associated hazards.

21 6.1 WORK ZONES
6.1.1 Exclusion Zone
An Exclusion Zone will be established at each intrusive operation (e.g., drilling, well abandonment, excavation) and waste staging area (soil stockpile). Exclusion zone size and dimensions will vary based on activities. The perimeter of the exclusion zone and an appropriate radius around work task areas will be demarcated by a physical barrier, such as barricade tape or traffic cones, to restrict access. Signs will be posted to inform and direct site personnel and site visitors.
A daily roster with the date of each person’s entrance into the exclusion zone; the person’s name, signature, and organization; and the time of entry and exit will be kept for all personnel working in the zone. Visitors will not be permitted to enter the exclusion zone without proper qualifications, equipment, and Tetra Tech SSC authorization and escort.
Exclusion zones will remain marked until the SSC has evaluated the restoration effort and has authorized changing the zone status.
6.1.2 Decontamination Zone
This zone will occur at the interface of the Exclusion Zone and the Support Zone and will provide for the transfer of construction materials and equipment, the decontamination of transport vehicles handling contaminated soils prior to entering the Support Zone, and the decontamination of personnel, PPE, and equipment prior to entering the Support Zone. Access to this Zone will be restricted to personnel who meet all HAZWOPER training and medical surveillance requirements and have the required PPE. No food or drink consumption or smoking is permitted in this Zone.
6.1.3 Support Zone
The support zone will consist of any uncontaminated and nonhazardous part of the site and should be situated in an area generally upwind of any exclusion zone whenever possible. The Support Zone for this project will include a staging area where site vehicles can be parked, equipment will be unloaded, and where food and drink containers will be maintained. The support zones will be established in clean areas of the site. Site visitors not meeting training, medical surveillance, and PPE requirements must stay in the support zone.
For this Site, the entire Site is fenced and thus serves as the Exclusion Zone.

25 8.0 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
Decontamination is the process of removing or neutralizing contaminants on personnel or equipment.
When properly conducted, decontamination procedures protect workers from contaminants that may have accumulated on PPE, tools, and other equipment. Proper decontamination also prevents transport of potentially harmful materials to uncontaminated areas. Personnel and equipment decontamination procedures are described in the following sections.
8.1 PERSONNEL DECONTAMINATION
Personnel decontamination at the site will be limited by using disposable PPE whenever possible.
Personnel and PPE will be decontaminated with potable water or a mixture of detergent and water.
Liquid and solid wastes generated during decontamination will be collected and drummed.
For routine activities, the following decontamination procedures will be followed:
Disposable PPE: nitrile gloves will be placed in a plastic disposal bag. • Non-Disposable PPE: leather or other work gloves and boots are to be decontaminated as necessary by washing with a Liquinox® or Alconox® solution and rinsing them with hot water.
Remove and retain neoprene boots for reuse, if possible. • Thoroughly wash the hands and face with water and soap.
Used, disposable PPE will be collected in sealable containers and will be disposed of in accordance with procedures described in the Work Plan (pending characterization, if necessary). Personnel decontamination procedures may be modified as necessary while on site.
8.2 EQUIPMENT DECONTAMINATION
Decontamination of all sampling and field monitoring equipment used during site activities will be required. Equipment decontamination procedures are based on guidelines appropriate for low-level contamination. Additional procedures may be found in EPA SOP No. 2006, titled “Sampling Equipment Decontamination” dated August 11, 1994.
Sampling and field equipment will be decontaminated before and after each use as described below. • Scrub the equipment with a brush in a bucket containing Liquinox® or Alconox® solution and distilled water.
• Triple-rinse the equipment with distilled water and allow it to air-dry. • Reassemble the equipment and place it on plastic or aluminum foil in a clean area. If aluminum foil is used, wrap the equipment with the dull side of the aluminum foil toward the equipment.
Other field equipment can be decontaminated with hot water and/or protected from exposure by covering with disposable covers such as plastic to minimize required decontamination activities.
Wastewater from equipment decontamination activities will be transferred to the onsite treatment plant for treatment and disposal.

26 9.0 AIR MONITORING
Real-time direct-reading monitoring instruments will be used to evaluate source areas (i.e., sample locations, wells, excavation areas, etc.), worker breathing zones, and the Site perimeter. A Photoionization Detector (PID) with a 10.6 eV lamp will be used at each source location to detect the presence of any VOCs, as well as real-time perimeter dust monitors. Background levels will be determined and noted prior to recording the level at the monitored points. The background readings will be taken away from any areas of potential contamination. These readings, any influencing conditions (i.e., weather, temperature, humidity) and site location must be documented in the field operations logbook or other site documentation (e.g., sample log sheet).
The instruments will be maintained, and field calibrated by qualified field personnel (SSC). Operational checks and field calibration will be performed on all instruments each day prior to their use according to manufacturer’s recommendations (for example, the PID must be field calibrated daily, and an additional field calibration must be performed at the end of each day to determine any significant instrument drift). Periodic operational checks or re-calibration using calibration gas should be performed if elevated readings are noted during the day to ensure there is limited instrument drift. These operational checks and calibration efforts will be performed in a manner that complies with the employee’s health and safety training, the manufacturer's recommendations, and with the applicable manufacturer standard operating procedure. All calibration efforts must be documented.
Figure 9-1 is provided for documenting these calibration efforts. This information may instead be recorded in a field operations logbook, provided that the information specified in Figure 9-1 is recorded.
This required information includes the following:
• Date calibration was performed
• Individual calibrating the instrument
• Instrument name, model, and serial number
• Any relevant instrument settings and resultant readings (before and after) calibration • Identification of the calibration standard (lot no., source concentration, supplier) • Any relevant comments or remarks
Real-time air monitoring frequency will be every 60 minutes after the background level is established and prior to a change in operations that might increase the risk of exposure.
An Air and Dust Monitoring Plan has been prepared for this Site, detailing additional monitoring tasks.

28 10.0 CONFINED SPACE ENTRY
It is not anticipated, under the proposed scope of work, that confined space and permit-required confined space activities will be conducted. Therefore, personnel under the provisions of this HASP are not allowed, under any circumstances, to enter confined spaces. Entry is defined as breaking the plane of the opening to the confined space with any body part.
Activities will include oversight of excavation and trenching for utilities; resulting trenches may represent confined spaces. Tetra Tech employees will not be entering the trenches or other potential confined spaces. Any sampling of soil from excavations or trenches will performed by sampling soil from backhoe/excavation bucket. The resulting soil excavation sidewalls will be sloped 1:1, resulting in a safe excavation.
However, should future work require confined space entry, Tetra Tech and subcontractor personnel conducting the entry will first receive confined space entry training for the category of confined space(s) to be entered (permit-required or non-permit-required) and for the designated role each employee will play in the entry operation (i.e., attendant, entrant, supervisor, or rescue). Training will be in accordance with the revised OSHA permit-required confined space entry (CSE) standard (29 CFR 1910.146). The purpose of the CSE procedure is to protect employees from potentially hazardous environments and to facilitate immediate rescue in an emergency.
A confined space is defined as an area which has the following characteristics:
• Is large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work. • Has limited or restricted means for entry or exit (for example, tanks, manholes, sewers, vessels, silos, storage bins, hoppers, vaults, and pits are spaces that may have limited means of entry). • Is not designed for continuous employee occupancy.
Additionally, a Permit-Required Confined Space must also have one or more of the following characteristics:
• Contains or has a potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere. • Has an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly caving walls or by a floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section. • Contains any other recognized, serious, safety or health hazard. 111: I TETRA TECH

32 12.0 SPILL PREVENTION AND CONTAINMENT PROGRAM
12.1 SCOPE AND APPLICATION
This program applies to the single or aggregate accumulation of bulk storage materials (over 55-gallons).
As the classification of certain materials such as Investigation Derived Waste (IDW) is unknown, these materials will be treated as hazardous, pending laboratory certification to the contrary. The types of materials for which this program will apply are as follows:
• IDW such as decontamination fluids, soil cuttings, and purge and well development waters, concrete coring water, etc.
• Resource Storage – Limited fuel and lubricant storage (in equipment and trucks). No bulk storage of fuels will be conducted on-site. Equipment will be serviced and fueled by an off-site vendor as needed.
The spill containment and control will be engaged any time there is a release of the above-identified materials from a containment system or vessel to minimize associated hazards.
12.2 POTENTIAL SPILL AREAS
Potential spill areas will be periodically monitored in an ongoing attempt to prevent and control further potential contamination of the environment. Currently, limited areas are vulnerable to this hazard including:
• Bare soil areas adjacent to the asphalt paved parking areas (i.e. diesel fuel release from heavy equipment)
The primary substances stored or handled onsite with the potential to be released are soil treatment chemicals (oxidants). The potential for these substances to be released is minimal as they will be intentionally mixed into backfill soil or injected into the subsurface as an approved form of soil treatment. A ruptured fuel tank or fuel line on a drill rig or piece excavation equipment is possible, but not expected.
Safety Data Sheets1
(SDS) for all hazardous substances/materials brought onsite are included in the HASP (Appendix C) and should be consulted in case of a spill or release. The two main goals will be to contain and clean up any spills.
It is anticipated that the IDW (pre-excavation soil borings) generated by this scope of work will be placed in the resulting soil stockpile area and profiled. The results of sample analyses will determine disposal and/or oxidant treatment methods when the soil is returned to the excavation.

33 12.3 CONTAINMENT AREAS
To facilitate leak and spill inspection and response, and to minimize potential hazards which may impact the integrity of the storage containers, the staging area for these substances will be structured as follows:
12.3.1 IDW
Currently, all soil generated during the scope of the work will be profiled, treated with oxidant if needed, and returned to the excavation. Any construction related debris (asphalt, concrete, discovered piping) and well abonnement casing/vault boxes will be transported off-site for recycling or disposal.
12.4 MATERIALS HANDLING
To minimize the hazards associated with moving drums and containers (i.e., lifting, pinch and compression points), material handling will be supported in the following manner:
• A drum cart with pneumatic tires will be required if drums are to be moved at the IDW storage area. This cart will be used to relocate drums within the staging and satellite storage location.
Other means of material handling will be evaluated by the SSC based on their ability to minimize or eliminate material handling hazards.
12.5 LEAK AND SPILL DETECTION
To establish an early detection of potential spills or leaks, a periodic walk-around by the personnel staging materials in the work area will be conducted during working hours to visually determine that storage vessels or excavation equipment is not leaking, and that soil piles are appropriated covered and secured. If a leak is detected, or a soil pile is uncovered, the Field Supervisor will be notified, and the Spill Containment/Control Response Plan as specified in Section 12.8 will be engaged. Inspections will be documented in the project logbook.
12.6 PERSONNEL TRAINING
Personnel will be instructed in the procedures for incipient spill prevention, containment, and collection of hazardous materials in the site-specific training. The Field Supervisor and/or the SSC will serve as the Spill Response Coordinators for this operation, should the need arise. Should an incidental spill occur, these individuals will engage incident response measures. It will be the responsibility of these individuals to insure they have the supplies and equipment specified in Section 12.7 to support this function.
Insufficient supplies or resources should be reported to the Field Supervisor.
12.7 SPILL PREVENTION AND CONTAINMENT EQUIPMENT
The following represents the minimum equipment that will always be maintained at the staging areas for the purpose of supporting this Spill Containment/Control Plan. • Sand, clean fill, vermiculite, or other non-combustible absorbent (Oil-dry) • Extra drums should the need to transfer material from leaking containers arise. • Pumps (Gas or Electric as necessary for transferring liquids from leaking containers)/tubing 111: I TETRA TECH
ITEM 11.1. ATTACHMENT 3
HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN

34 • Shovels, rakes, and brooms
• Container labels
• Personal Protective Equipment (nitrile outer gloves, splash face shield, impermeable over-boots, rain suit)
• General spill prevention equipment such as a shovel, broom, 55-gallon Department of Transportation (DOT) drum UN 1A2, and absorbent material will be maintained onsite to respond to any spill based on the nature of the task to be performed.
12.8 SPILL CONTAINMENT/CONTROL RESPONSE PLAN
This section describes the procedures the Tetra Tech field personnel will employ upon the detection of a spill or leak.
• Notify the SSO or FOL immediately upon detection of a leak or spill, or uncovered soil stockpile. • Employ the PPE stored at the staging area. Initiate incidental spill response measures. Take immediate actions to stop the leak or spill by plugging or patching the container or raising the leak to the highest point in the vessel. Spread the absorbent material in the area of the spill, covering it completely.
• Transfer the material to a new vessel; collect and containerize the absorbent material. Label the new container appropriately. Await analyses for treatment and disposal options. • Re-containerize spills, including 2-inch of top cover (if over soils) impacted by the spill. Await test results for treatment or disposal options.
• If the spill cannot be controlled or contained, initiate emergency alerting procedures for that area to remove non-essential personnel.
• Recover the soil stockpiles as needed during windy conditions.
It is not anticipated that a spill will occur that the field crew cannot handle. Should this occur, notification of the appropriate emergency response agencies will be carried out by the Field Supervisor or SSC in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 13.0. 111: I TETRA TECH

35 13.0 EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
13.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes emergency response planning procedures to be implemented for the site. This Emergency Action Plan conforms to the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.38(a), as allowed in 29 CFR 1910.120(I)(1)(ii). The following sections discuss pre-emergency planning, personnel roles and lines of authority, emergency recognition and prevention, evacuation routes and procedures, emergency contacts and notifications, hospital route directions, emergency medical treatment procedures, fire or explosion, spills or leaks, emergency equipment and facilities, and reporting.
13.2 PRE-EMERGENCY PLANNING
Initial hazard/risk assessment efforts have identified exposure to physical, chemical, and biological hazards and fire as the most probable emergencies that could be encountered during activities at the Site. To minimize or eliminate the potential for these emergency situations and to reduce the severity of any potential incident, pre-emergency planning activities associated with this project include the following:
• Coordinate with the Site project manager and/or local emergency response personnel to ensure that Tetra Tech emergency actions are compatible with existing emergency response procedures
• Establish and maintain information at the project staging area (e.g., support zone) for easy access in the event of an emergency:
o Tetra Tech HASP
o Logbook identifying personnel onsite each day
o Emergency Contacts List (multiple copies; and posted) o Maps to Hospital and Clinic Physician (copies should be placed in each vehicle) o Chemical Inventory (used onsite), with Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) (Appendix C) During the project kickoff meeting and daily tailgate safety meetings, all onsite employees will be trained in and reminded of the provisions of this Section, site communication systems, and site evacuation routes. The emergency response provisions will be reviewed on a regular basis by the Tetra Tech SSC and will be revised, if necessary, to ensure that they are adequate and consistent with prevailing site conditions.

36 13.3 PERSONNEL ROLES AND LINES OF AUTHORITY
The Tetra Tech SSC has primary responsibility for responding to and correcting emergency situations and for taking the appropriate measures to ensure the safety of site personnel and the public. The SSC will coordinate responding to emergencies. Possible actions may include evacuation of personnel from the site area. The SSC is also responsible for ensuring that corrective measures have been implemented, appropriate authorities have been notified, and follow-up reports have been completed.
The SSC will also be responsible for the following:
• Identifying a chain of command for emergency action
• Educating site workers to the hazards and control measures associated with planned activities at the Site, and providing early recognition and prevention where possible • Periodically perform practice drills as appropriate to ensure site workers are familiar with incidental response measures.
• Provide the necessary equipment to safely accomplish identified tasks. • Provide first aid kit, emergency eye wash, fire extinguishers and spill kits and place them in strategic locations for quick access.
Individual subcontractors are required to cooperate with the SSC, within the parameters of their scopes of work.
Project personnel are required to report all serious near misses, injuries, illnesses, spills, releases, fires, explosions, equipment or property damage, and motor vehicle accidents to the SSC. The SSC must be notified of any onsite emergencies and is responsible for ensuring that the appropriate emergency procedures described in this section are followed.

37 13.4 EMERGENCY RECOGNITION AND PREVENTION
Table 5-1 lists potential site chemical hazards, and Table 5-2 provides information on the health and safety hazards associated with the different tasks planned for the site. Onsite personnel will be made familiar with this information and with techniques of hazard recognition through prior health and safety training and site-specific briefings.
13.4.1 Recognition
Many chemical, physical and biological hazards that could lead to emergency scenarios are generally recognizable by visual observation. Thus, hazard identification should include pre-work and periodic 360° walk-around surveys, equipment and tool inspections, and background surveys with direct-reading air monitoring instrumentation.
The field supervisor, SSC, and subcontractor supervisor will be responsible for performing surveys of work areas prior to initiating site operations and periodically while operations are being conducted. Site surveys will be conducted at all work locations prior to the commitment of resources and personnel.
This will be done for the purpose of removing or barricading identified physical hazards. Additionally, site surveys will be conducted at least once a week at all resource/staging areas. All site surveys conducted during this effort will be documented in the Project or Field Operations Logbook and survey findings will be discussed with field personnel as part of the tailgate safety meetings. In addition, site personnel will be responsible for reporting hazardous situations. Where potential hazards exist, Tetra Tech will initiate control measures to prevent adverse effects to human health and the environment.
13.4.2 Prevention
Tetra Tech and subcontractor personnel will minimize the potential for emergencies by following the direction and guidance provided within this HASP as well as the SWPs and applicable OSHA regulations as they apply to the tasks to be conducted. Additionally, prevention will be facilitated through employment of offensive and defensive measures in removing or denying access to hazards identified through the site survey activities. Preparation through acquiring and placing emergency equipment in the work areas will also aid in controlling incidents from escalating into an emergency.
The above actions will provide early recognition for potential emergency situations. Should an incident occur, Tetra Tech will take measures in the beginning stages to control these situations. However, if the field supervisor and the SSC determine that an incident has progressed to a serious emergency, Tetra Tech will withdraw and notify the appropriate response agencies listed in Table 13-1.

38 13.5 EVACUATION PROCEDURES AND PLACES OF REFUGE
An evacuation will be initiated whenever specified hazard controls are insufficient to protect the health, safety or welfare of site workers. Specific examples of conditions that may initiate an evacuation include, but are not limited to the following:
• Severe weather conditions
• Fire or explosion
• Monitoring instrumentation readings which indicate levels of contamination that are greater than instituted action levels
• Personnel showing signs or symptoms of potential exposure to site contaminants or natural stresses (e.g., heat stress, hypothermia, or snake bite) • Injury or illness requiring medical transport and care • Major spill or release
Field activities at the Site will involve Tetra Tech personnel working within proximity to each other; therefore, hand signals and voice commands will be sufficient to alert site personnel of an emergency. In the event of an emergency, the following procedures will be followed:
• Initiate an evacuation by hand signals or voice commands, immediately stop all activities, and report to designated refuge point. The Site safe place of refuge will be identified prior to the commencement of site activities within an identified area as determined by the SSC. • Describe to the SSC (who will serve as the Incident Coordinator) what has occurred and as many details as possible
• Once all personnel have been evacuated, begin appropriate response procedures to control the situation (incipient response measures for fire, spill, and injury (first aid) and site control and security measures, as necessary.
Evacuation procedures will be discussed prior to the initiation of any site work. Evacuation routes from the site and safe places of refuge are dependent upon the location at which work is being performed and the circumstances under which an evacuation is required. Additionally, site location and meteorological conditions (i.e., wind speed and direction) may dictate evacuation routes. As a result, refuge points will be selected and communicated daily to the workers relative to the site location where work is being performed. Evacuation should always take place in an upwind direction from the site.
Whenever possible, the safe place of refuge will also serve as the telephone communications point for that area. During an evacuation, personnel will remain at the refuge location until directed otherwise by the SSC or the onsite Incident Commander of the Emergency Response Team. The SSC will take a head count at this location to account for and to confirm the location of all site personnel. Emergency response personnel will be immediately notified of any unaccounted personnel. 111: I TETRA TECH

39 13.6 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
During an evacuation, decontamination procedures will be performed only if doing so does not further jeopardize the welfare of site workers. However, it is unlikely that an evacuation would occur which would require workers to evacuate the site without first performing decontamination procedures. A supply of clean decon water is available at a metered fire hydrant on Site.
13.7 INITIAL RESPONSE AND EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS
The Tetra Tech SSC must survey the situation and avoid taking any action or delay that could endanger anyone’s life. Tetra Tech personnel may perform rescue operations from emergency situations and may provide initial medical support for injury/illness requiring only “basic first-aid” level support, and only within the limits of training obtained by site personnel. Basic first-aid is considered treatment that can be rendered by a trained first-aid provider at the injury location and not requiring follow-up treatment or examination by a physician (for example: minor cuts, bruises, stings, scrapes, and burns). Personnel providing medical assistance are also required to be trained in the requirements of OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030). Medical attention above first-aid level support will require assistance from the designated emergency response agencies. 111: I TETRA TECH

40 Basic first aid measures for chemical exposures and non-medical initial responses are summarized below:
Chemical Exposure Skin Contact:
Remove contaminated clothing.
Wash immediately with water.
Use soap if available.
If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Eye Contact:
Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes.
If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
Inhalation:
Remove person from contaminated atmosphere.
If necessary, provide CPR. Seek medical attention.
DO NOT ENTER A CONFINED SPACE TO RESCUE SOMEONE
WHO HAS BEEN OVERCOME UNLESS PROPERLY
TRAINED/EQUIPPED AND ALL CSE PROTOCOLS ARE
FOLLOWED WITH QUALIFIED ATTENDANT ONSITE.
Ingestion:
NEVER induce vomiting on an unconscious person.
NEVER induce vomiting when ingestion of acids, alkalis, or petroleum products is suspected.
Contact the poison control center (see Table 13-1 for telephone number).
Administer CPR, if necessary. Seek medical attention.
Possible Exposure Symptoms:
• Headache, dizziness, nausea, drowsiness, respiratory tract, skin or eye irritation Snake Bite • Follow the standard notification procedures (call 911). Notify emergency response personnel of the nature of the snake bite.
• If possible, take photo of snake.
• Have victim remain calm until ambulance team arrives. • Keep the bite location below the heart at all times.
• Apply a pressure wrap (for extremities) just above and over the bite area. With a couple wraps of the pressure wrap in place over the bite area, apply a splint, and continue the application of the pressure wrap. The purpose for the splint is to restrict the movement of the extremity. This, along with the pressure wrap, will aid in restricting the toxins from leaving the site of the bite.
Incipient Stage Fire • A fire that cannot be readily extinguished with one 10-pound fire extinguisher will be considered major and may require evacuation of project and/or site personnel to safe areas.
• Only attempt to put out fire if you are trained in the use of the fire extinguisher, have confidence that you can put the fire out, and you have a route of escape from the fire.
Minor Spill or Leak • Use onsite spill kit to contain/absorb and remove spilled materials. • See details on spill prevention and containment in SWP 5-47.
Major Spill or Leak • Evacuate the affected area and relocate personnel to an upwind location. • Inform the Tetra Tech SSC, a Tetra Tech office, and a site representative immediately.
• Locate the source of the spill or leak, and stop the flow if it is safe to do so. • Begin containment and recovery of spilled or leaked materials. • Notify the client and appropriate local, state, and federal agencies.

41 Workers who are ill or who have suffered a non-serious injury may be transported by site personnel to nearby medical facilities, provided that such transport does not aggravate or further endanger the welfare of the injured/ill person.
Personnel requiring treatment greater than first aid will constitute an emergency for which the appropriate agency must be notified. If an exposure to hazardous materials has occurred, provide information on the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of the subject chemical(s) to medical services personnel.
If an emergency cannot be handled using onsite resources, personnel will evacuate to a safe place of refuge and the appropriate emergency response agencies will be notified. It has been determined that most potential emergency situations would be better supported by outside emergency responders.
These agencies are located within a reasonable distance from the area of site operations, which ensures adequate emergency response time.
If site personnel cannot control the incident through offensive and defensive measures, the field supervisor (or SSC, if designated) will enact the following emergency notification procedures to secure additional assistance:
• Call 911 or other emergency contacts (Table 13-1) to report the emergency and provide the following information:
o Location of emergency
o Type of emergency
o Number of injured personnel
o Brief description of what occurred.
Stay on the phone and follow the instructions given by the operator. The operator will then notify and dispatch the proper emergency response agencies.
The Emergency contacts list will also be posted [insert emergency contact list location] and be placed in all project vehicles. In case of any emergency (e.g., injury, illness, spill/release, and fire), verbal notification to the Tetra Tech project manager must be provided as soon as possible.

45 13.9 INCIDENT REPORTING
All emergency situations require follow-up and reporting. After the initial response (e.g., first aid, etc.) to an injury or illness has taken place or emergency responders have been notified, the incidence and details of the incident must be properly reported and documented. Within one (1) hour of occurrence, any occupational injury or illness must be reported to the HSR/Corporate Health & Safety Director at (610) 348-7197. Appendix A includes the Tetra Tech Incident Report (Form IR) and the Supplemental Forms A (employee injury or illness), B (property and equipment damage, spills and releases) and C (motor vehicle accidents). All applicable reports must be completed and submitted to the Tetra Tech project manager within 24 hours of an emergency. The project manager will review the report and then forward it to the Tetra Tech HSR for review. The report must include proposed actions to prevent similar incidents from occurring. The HSR must be fully informed of the corrective action process to ensure appropriate and sufficient response measures have been implemented.
TOTAL is Tetra Tech’s online incident reporting system which is the preferred means of reporting incidents. Tetra Tech will use TOTAL to directly report health and safety incidents, notify key personnel, and initiate the process for properly investigating and addressing the causes of incidents, including nearmiss events. An incident is considered any unplanned event that includes several types of near misses, events where no loss was incurred, or incidents that resulted in injuries or illness, property or equipment damage, chemical spills, fires, or damage to motor vehicles. Incidents must be entered into TOTAL within 24 hours of its occurrence by the PM, field supervisor, or SSC.
TOTAL is accessed from the Tetra Tech Intranet site at https://my.tetratech.com/ or from the following web address: http://totalhs.tetratech.com/.
It should be noted that “near misses” as well as actual injuries and illnesses should be reported. By identifying near miss situations, possible recommendations for preventing a recurrence can be made.
Near misses should be reviewed with field personnel during the daily pre-work site briefing.

GENERAL SAFE WORK PRACTICES FOR FIELD GENERAL SAFE WORK PRACTICES FOR FIELD FOR FIELD FOR FIELD WORK
The online version of this document supersedes all other versions. Paper copies of this document are uncontrolled. The controlled version of this document can be found on the Tetra Tech Intranet.
To prevent injuries and adverse health effects, the following general safe work practices (SWP) are to be followed when conducting work involving known and unknown site hazards. These SWPs establish a pattern of general precautions and measures for reducing risks associated with field operations not conducted on hazardous waste sites. This list is not inclusive and may be amended as necessary.
· Be familiar with and knowledgeable of and adhere to all instructions in the construction health and safety plan (C-HASP), job safety analysis, job hazard analysis, work permit or other health and safety documentation.
· At a minimum, a safety meeting will be held at the start of each project to discuss the hazards of the site and site work. Additional meetings will be held, as necessary, to address new or continuing safety and health concerns.
· Be aware of the location of the nearest telephone and all emergency telephone numbers.
· Attend a briefing on the anticipated hazards, equipment requirements, SWPs, emergency procedures, and communication methods before going on site. · Plan and delineate entrance, exit, and emergency escape routes. · Rehearse unfamiliar operations prior to implementation. · Use the “buddy system” whenever respiratory protection, fall protection, or other protective equipment is in use. Buddies should establish hand signals or other means of emergency communication in case radios break down or are unavailable. · In order to assist each other in the event of an emergency, buddies should maintain visual contact with each other and with other on-site team members by remaining in close proximity.
· Do not bring nonessential vehicles and equipment onto the site. · Immediately report all injuries, illnesses, and unsafe conditions, practices, and equipment to the site safety coordinator (SSC).
· Maintain a portion of the site field logbook as a project safety log. The project safety log will be used to record the names, entry and exit dates, and times on site of all Tetra Tech personnel, subcontractor personnel, and project site visitors; and other information related to safety matters.

To prevent injuries and adverse health effects, the following general safe work practices (SWP) are to be followed when conducting work involving known and unknown site hazards on hazardous waste sites. These SWPs establish a pattern of general precautions and measures for reducing risks associated with hazardous site operations. This list is not inclusive and may be amended as necessary.
· Do not eat, drink, chew gum or tobacco, take medication, or smoke in contaminated or potentially contaminated areas or where the possibility for contact with site contamination exists.
· Wash hands and face thoroughly upon leaving a contaminated or suspected contaminated area. If a source of potable water is not available at the work site that can be used for hands-washing, the use of waterless hand cleaning products will be used, followed by actual hand-washing as soon as practicable upon exiting the site. A thorough shower and wash must be conducted as soon as possible if excessive skin contamination occurs.
· Avoid contact with potentially contaminated substances. Do not walk through puddles, pools, mud, or other such areas. Avoid, whenever possible, kneeling on the ground or leaning or sitting on drums, equipment, or the ground. Do not place monitoring equipment on potentially contaminated surfaces. · Remove beards or facial hair that interferes with a satisfactory qualitative respirator fit test or routine pre-entry positive and negative pressure checks. · Be familiar with and knowledgeable of and adhere to all instructions in the sitespecific health and safety plan (HASP). At a minimum, a safety meeting will be held at the start of each project to discuss the HASP. Additional meetings will be held, as necessary, to address new or continuing safety and health concerns. · Be aware of the location of the nearest telephone and all emergency telephone numbers.
· Attend a briefing on the anticipated hazards, equipment requirements, SWPs, emergency procedures, and communication methods before going on site. · Plan and delineate entrance, exit, and emergency escape routes. · Rehearse unfamiliar operations prior to implementation. ~

Buddies should establish hand signals or other means of emergency communication in case radios break down or are unavailable. · Buddies should maintain visual contact with each other and with other on-site team members by remaining in close proximity in order to assist each other in case of emergency.
· Minimize the number of personnel and equipment in contaminated areas (such as the exclusion zone). Nonessential vehicles and equipment should remain within the support zone.
· Establish appropriate support, contamination reduction, and exclusion zones. · Establish appropriate decontamination procedures for leaving the site. · Immediately report all injuries, illnesses, and unsafe conditions, practices, and equipment to the site safety coordinator (SSC).
· Maintain a portion of the site field logbook as a project safety log. The project safety log will be used to record the names, entry and exit dates, and times on site of all Tetra Tech personnel, subcontractor personnel, and project site visitors; air quality and personal exposure monitoring data; and other information related to safety matters. Form SSC-1, Daily Site Log, may be used to record names of on-site personnel.
· A portable eyewash station should be located in the support zone if chemical splashes to eyes are possible.
· Do not bring matches and lighters in the exclusion zone or contamination reduction zone. Flames and open fires are not permitted on site.
· Observe coworkers for signs of toxic exposure and heat or cold stress. · Inform coworkers of nonvisual effects of illness if you experience them, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, or blurred vision.

SAFE DRILLING PRACTICES
The online version of this document supersedes all other versions. Paper copies of this document are uncontrolled.
The controlled version of this document can be found on the Tetra Tech Intranet.
This document establishes safe work practices (SWP) to follow during drilling operations. These SWPs are based on suggested safety procedures provided in the National Drilling Association’s “Drilling Safety Guide.” Procedures to follow before, during, and after drilling are listed below.
Before beginning any drill operation, each employee must conform to the following requirements:
· Wear a hard hat, safety glasses or goggles, steel-toed work boots, a shirt and full-length pants when working with or near the drill rig. Shirts must be tucked in at the belt. · Do not wear loose or frayed clothing, loose long hair, or loose jewelry while working with rotating equipment.
· Do not eat, drink, or smoke near the drill rig.
· Identify all underground utility and buried structure locations before drilling. · Ensure that drill masts or other projecting devices will be farther than 25 feet in any direction from overhead power lines.
· Ensure that the drill rig and any other machinery used is inspected daily by competent, qualified individuals. The site safety coordinator (SSC) will ensure compliance with this precaution.
· Drill rig operators will be instructed to report any abnormalities, such as equipment failure, oozing liquids, and unusual odors, to their supervisors or the SSC. · Establish hand-signal communications for use when verbal communication is difficult.
One person per work team will be designated to give hand signals to equipment operators.
While the drill rig is operating, employees must:
· Wear appropriate respiratory and personal protective equipment (PPE) when conditions warrant their use.
· Avoid direct contact with known or suspected contaminated surfaces. · Move tools, materials, cords, hoses, and debris to prevent tripping hazards and contact with moving drill rig parts.

The minimum clearance is 25 feet unless special permission is granted by the utility company. Call the local utility company for proper clearance. · Only qualified and licensed personnel should operate drill rigs. · Workers should not assume that the drill rig operator is keeping track of the rig’s exact location. Workers should never walk directly behind or beside heavy equipment without the operator’s knowledge.
· Workers should maintain visual contact with drill rig operators at all times. · When an operator must maneuver equipment in tight quarters, the presence of a second person is required to ensure adequate clearance. If much backing is required, two ground guides will be used: one in the direction the equipment is moving, and the other in the operator’s normal field of vision to relay signals.
· Auger sections and other equipment are extremely heavy. All lifting precautions should be taken before moving heavy equipment. Appropriate equipment, such as chains, hoists, straps, and other equipment, should be used to safely transport heavy equipment too heavy to safely lift.
· Proper personal lifting techniques will be used. Workers should lift using their legs, not their backs.
· Workers will not use equipment they are not familiar with. This precaution applies to heavy as well as light equipment.
· All personnel not essential to work activities will be kept out of the work area. · Workers will be aware of their footing at all times.
· Workers will remain alert at all times.
After drilling operations are completed, employees should do the following:

· Shut down mechanical equipment prior to and during fueling operations. When refueling or transferring fuel, containers and equipment must be bonded to prevent the buildup of static electricity.
· Keep drill rigs in the exclusion zone until work has been completed. Such equipment should then be decontaminated within the designated decontamination area. · Engage parking brakes when equipment is not in use.
· Implement an ongoing maintenance program for all tools and equipment. All tools and moving equipment should be inspected regularly to ensure that parts are secured, are intact, and have no cracks or areas of weakness. The equipment must turn smoothly without wobbling and must operate in accordance with manufacturer specifications.
Defective items should be promptly repaired or replaced. Maintenance and repair logs will be kept.
· Store tools in clean, secure areas to prevent damage, loss, or theft.

A structure such as underpinning, bracing, or shoring, which provides support to an adjacent structure, underground installation, or the sides of an excavation.
4.8 Trench
A narrow excavation made below the surface of the ground. In general the depth is greater than the width, but the width of a trench measured at the bottom is not greater than 15 feet. If forms or other structures are installed or constructed in an excavation so as to reduce the dimension measured from the forms or structure to the side of the excavation to 15 feet or less, the excavation is also considered to be a trench.

GENERAL SAFE WORK PRACTICE
for HEAT STRESS PREVENTION and
MONITORING Page 1 of 4
The online version of this document supersedes all other versions. Paper copies of this document are uncontrolled.
The controlled version of this document can be found on the Tetra Tech Intranet.
This safe work practice (SWP) describes situations where heat stress is likely to occur and provides procedures for the prevention and treatment of heat-related injuries and illnesses.
Wearing personal protective equipment (PPE), especially during warm weather, puts employees at considerable risk of developing heat-related illness. Health effects from heat stress may range from transient heat fatigue or rashes to serious illness or death.
Many factors contribute to heat stress, including PPE, ambient temperature and humidity, workload, and the physical condition of the employee, as well as predisposing medical conditions.
However, the primary factors are elevated ambient temperatures in combination with fluid loss.
Because heat stress is one of the more common health concerns that may be encountered during field activities, employees must be familiar with the signs, symptoms, and various treatment methods of each form of heat stress. Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness—it is a threat to life and has a 20 percent mortality rate. Direct exposure to sun, poor air circulation, poor physical condition, and advanced age directly affect the tendency to heat stroke. Table 1 lists the most serious heat conditions, their causes, signs and symptoms, and treatment.
Training is an important component of heat stress prevention. Employees are instructed to recognize and treat heat-related illnesses during 8-hour health and safety refresher and first aid training courses. When working in hot environments, specific steps should be taken to lessen the chances of heat-related illnesses. These include the following:
• Ensuring that all employees drink plenty of fluids (Gatorade® or its equivalent) • Ensuring that frequent breaks are scheduled so overheating does not occur • Revising work schedules, when necessary, to take advantage of the cooler parts of the day (such as working from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to nightfall).
When PPE must be worn (especially Levels A and B), suggested guidelines relating to ambient temperature and maximum wearing time per excursion are as shown in Table 2. ~

To monitor the level of an employee’s heat stress, the following should be measured:
• Heart Rate: Count the radial (wrist) pulse during a 30-second period as early as possible in the rest period; if heart rate exceeds 110 beats per minute at the beginning of the rest period, shorten the next work cycle by one-third and keep the rest period the same.
If the heart rate still exceeds 110 beats per minute at the next period, shorten the following work cycle by one-third.
• Oral Temperature: Use a clinical thermometer (3 minutes under the tongue) to measure the oral temperature at the end of the work period. If oral temperature exceeds 99.6 °F (37.6 °C), shorten the next work cycle by one-third without changing the rest period. If oral temperature still exceeds 99.6 °F at the beginning of the next rest period, shorten the following work cycle by one-third. Do not permit a worker to wear impermeable PPE when his or her oral temperature exceeds 100.6 °F (38.1 °C).

Biological hazards, or “biohazards,” include plants, animals or their products, and parasitic or infectious agents that may present potential risks to worker health. This safe work practice (SWP) discusses procedures for working with biohazards, preventive guidelines, and first-aid procedures for the most common hazards field staff are likely to encounter. This SWP does not address biohazards such as those associated with medical waste. Procedures for working with this type of biohazard should be addressed in the site-specific health and safety plan (HASP), construction health and safety plan (C-HASP), job safety analyses (JSAs), activity hazard analyses (AHAs), or other health and safety project planning documents on a case-by-case basis.
During preparation for site work, the document preparer should consider which plants, animals, and other biological agents may be encountered; assess their potential risk to project personnel; and attach this SWP to the document if necessary. Office health and safety representatives should become familiar with biological hazards indigenous to the geographical area in which most of their office personnel work and assist in evaluating the risks to personnel on projects staffed from their offices. SWPs for insects, snakes, animals, plants, waterborne pathogens (giardia), and hantavirus are provided below.
1.0 INSECTS INSECTS INSECTS
SWPs for reducing the chance of insect bites or stings and for treating bites or stings are listed below.
· Workers should keep as much skin area covered as possible by wearing longsleeved shirts, long pants, and a hat. Pant legs should be tucked into socks or boots and shirts into pants. In addition, workers should wear light colored clothing.
· A proven insect repellent should be used on bare skin and clothing. · When possible, tall grasses and brush that could harbor ticks should be avoided. · Several times during the day and at the end of the work day, each worker should perform a check for evidence of imbedded ticks or previous bites. Particular attention should be paid to the scalp, neck, ankles, back of the legs, and waist. ~

Workers should never reach into spaces with unprotected arms.
· Workers should watch carefully for bees around open soft drinks or food. · If a worker is stung by a bee, the stinger should be carefully removed, if present.
The wound should be washed and a cold pack applied. Allergic reaction should be watched for and is evidenced by extreme swelling, redness, pain, or difficulty breathing.
· If a worker is stung or bit by a spider or scorpion, medical attention should be obtained immediately.
2.0 SNAKES
SWPs for encounters with snakes and for treating snakebites are listed below. · Workers should avoid walking in areas known to harbor snakes. Workers should be cautious when picking up or moving items that have been on the ground. · Workers should wear boots made of heavy material that protect the ankles and pants. Heavy work gloves should be worn for picking up items. · If one snake is encountered, others may be present. Workers should leave the area by retracing their steps.
· If a worker is bitten, the wound should be washed and the injured area immobilized and kept lower than the heart, if possible. Ice or a tourniquet should not be applied to a snake bite. The wound should not be cut. If medical care is more than 30 minutes away from a work site, a snakebite kit should be available on site and workers should know how to use it.
3.0 ANIMALS ANIMALS ANIMALS
SWPs for encounters with animals and for treating associated wounds are listed below. ~

· Workers should avoid animal droppings (including bird droppings). Pathogens, some of which can become airborne, may still be present in the droppings. · If a worker is bitten, he or she should get away from the animal to avoid further bites. Workers should not try to stop, hold, or catch the animal. · If the wound is minor, it should be washed with soap and water. Any bleeding should then be controlled, and an antibiotic ointment and dressing should be applied. All animal bite wounds should be watched for signs of infection. · If the wound is bleeding seriously, the bleeding should be controlled but the wound should not be cleaned. Medical assistance should be summoned immediately.
· If a rabid animal is suspected, immediate medical attention should be summoned. If possible, workers should try to remember what the rabid animal looked like and the area in which it was last seen. The animal should be reported by calling the local emergency number.
4.0 PLANTS
SWPs for plants are as follows:
· Workers should be aware of the types and appearances of poisonous plants in the work site area. Poison ivy, oak, and sumac are the most frequently encountered plants that can cause reaction from casual contact. If a worker is extremely sensitive to these plants, he or she should avoid the area entirely because airborne drift could be sufficient to cause a reaction. Other plants, such as fireweed, can cause painful, short-term irritation and should be avoided as well. Workers should avoid touching face and eye areas after contact with any suspicious plant.

Disposable outerwear should be used, if necessary, and workers should not touch the material with bare hands during removal if the outerwear may have contacted poisonous plants.
· If contact with a poisonous plant has occurred, the affected area should be immediately washed thoroughly with soap and water. If a rash or weeping sore has already begun to develop, a paste of baking soda and water should be applied to the area several times a day to reduce discomfort. Lotions such as Calamine or Caladryl should be applied to help soothe the area. If the condition gets worse and affects large areas of the body or the face, a doctor should be consulted.
· Bushy and wooded areas should be thoroughly checked for thorn-bearing trees, brush, and bramble. In some cases, impalement can cause severe pain or infection.
5.0 WATERBORNE PATHOGENS WATERBORNE PATHOGENS WATERBORNE PATHOGENS-GIARDIA GIARDIA GIARDIA Giardia is a waterborne pathogen consisting of a protoplasmic parasite of the mammalian digestive tract. Giardia is present worldwide, with the highest occurrence in areas with poor sanitation. In the United States, most reported cases are in mountainous regions where drinking water is obtained from streams and is unfiltered or untreated.
Giardia is contracted by ingesting water contaminated with giardia cysts in the dormant state.
Giardia parasites can only thrive in the digestive tracts of mammals. Dormant giardia organisms enter water through the feces of infected animals or humans. Giardia symptoms include severe diarrhea and upset stomach. Some people are asymptomatic but can transmit the disease to others. Medical treatment of giardia can be difficult and unpleasant; therefore, prevention is critical. Precautions for preventing exposure to giardia are listed below. · Workers should assume that all fresh water streams are infected with the giardia organism and not drink any untreated water.
· Team members collecting sediment and water samples from streams should wash their hands thoroughly with soap and water after collecting the samples. ~

Water should be treated for drinking or cooking with iodine or another recommended giardia treatment before use.
6.0 HANTAVIRUS HANTAVIRUS HANTAVIRUS
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a potentially fatal infection caused by a rodent-borne hantavirus. HPS begins with a brief illness most commonly characterized by fever, muscle pain, headache, coughing, and nausea or vomiting. Other early symptoms include chills, diarrhea, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, and dizziness. In the first identified cases of HPS, this stage of the infection lasted 2 to 5 days before victims were hospitalized. Typically, by the time of hospitalization, victims were found to have tachycardia (a heart rate of greater than 100 beats per minute) and tachypnea (a breathing rate of greater than 20 breaths per minute). Fever was also common. In most cases, death occurred within 2 to 16 days of the onset of symptoms, and victims exhibited pulmonary edema and severe hypotension.
Currently, experts believe that HPS is spread by the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus).
Though the deer mouse has been found to be the primary host of hantavirus, several other rodent species have also tested positive for the virus. Pinon mice (Peromyscus truei), brush mice (Peromyscus boylii), and western chipmunks (Tamia spp.) are also likely to carry the virus.
Also, cases of HPS have been reported in areas of the United States where these particular rodents are not indigenous.
Infected rodents shed the virus in their urine, feces, and saliva. Humans can be exposed to the virus through (1) inhalation of suspended rodent excreta or dust particles containing rodent excreta, (2) introduction of rodent excreta into the eyes or broken skin, and (3) ingestion of food or water contaminated by rodent excreta. HPS has a reported mortality rate of 55 percent. Transmission of hantavirus from infected individuals to healthy persons has not been documented.
Prevention of HPS infection is essential because no known antidote and no specific treatment exists for treating HPS. Therefore, employees should practice risk reduction and control measures. Guidelines for workers in locations that may have rodent infestations or habitats are listed below.
· The best approach for HPS control and prevention is through environmental hygiene practices that deter rodents from colonizing the work environment. ~

The controlled version of this document can be found on the Tetra Tech Intranet. · Information about the symptoms of HPS and detailed guidance on preventive measures should be provided to all employees assigned to field activities. · Medical attention should be sought immediately for workers who develop a febrile or respiratory illness within 45 days of the last potential exposure to rodents. Attending physicians should be advised of each worker’s potential for occupational exposure to hantavirus. Physicians should contact local health authorities promptly if hantavirus-associated illness is suspected. A blood sample should be obtained from the affected worker and forwarded with the baseline serum sample through the state health department to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for hantavirus antibody testing. · Respiratory protective equipment should be worn when handling rodents, when removing rodents from traps, and when working in areas with evidence of rodent droppings or hair. Respiratory protective equipment should include, at a minimum, a half-face air-purifying respirator (APR) or powered APR equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter (P100). Full-face regulators may be needed under some circumstances. Respiratory protective equipment should be used in accordance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations.
· Dermal protection should be worn when handling rodents or traps containing rodents, or if contact with contaminated surfaces could occur. Dermal protection should include rubber or plastic gloves that should be washed and disinfected before removal.
· A trap contaminated with rodent urine or feces or in which a rodent was captured should be disinfected with a commercial disinfectant or a 0.4 percent bleach solution. A dead rodent should be disposed of by placing the carcass in a plastic bag containing enough general-purpose household disinfectant to thoroughly wet the carcass. The bag should be sealed and disposed of by burning or by burying it in a 2- to 3-foot-deep hole. Local and state health departments can also provide appropriate disposal methods.
