�► a 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Objective The purpose of this Health and Safety (H&S) plan is to describe the controls and procedures that ENV America Incorporated (ENV America)will implement to minimize any incidents, injuries, and health risks associated with investigation activities to be conducted at the Stockton Former manufactured gas plant (MGP) Site (hereinafter is referred to as "Site"). This H&S plan was developed to conform to the United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA); the California OSHA; and other applicable federal, state, county, and local laws, ordinances and codes. Where any of the requirements from different regulations are in conflict, the more stringent requirements will be followed and enforced. To account for changing Site conditions and work activities, some of the specifications of this H&S plan may change as work progresses. These changes will be addressed as necessary via amendments to this H&S plan. ENV America can provide this health and safety plan to subcontractors or other personnel involved with the scope of work that ENV America is or will be performing at the Site for information purposes only. Subcontractors and others involved with the Site will be responsible for the health and safety of their own employees. 1.2 Site Location The Site is located at 535 Center Street, in the city of Stockton, California (Figure 1). The Site has been subdivided into three areas: I, 11, and III. The former MGP occupied the three-acre block bounded by Hazelton Avenue on the south, Center Street on the east, Church Street on the north, and Commerce Street on the west (Area 1). Area II is located within PG&E's Station A electrical substation, east of Area I. This area was not used for gas manufacturing operations. A one-acre parcel within the adjacent block to the north (Area 111)was formerly owned by PG&E. A gas holder that was used to store gas produced by the former plant was located on the parcel. 1.3 Scope of Work Field activities will include groundwater and soil sampling, monitoring well installation and decommission activities. The scope of groundwater sampling work generally consists of the collection of water samples from existing wells. Purged water and soil cuttings will be containerized onsite. Monitoring well installation and decommission activities consist of: drilling using hollow-stem auger or mud-rotary techniques, collection of soil samples from borings, and well development.
