1.0 INTRODUCTION The subject property is located at 1130 North Main Street in Manteca, California. The site is currently occupied by a Jiffy Lube service station. The purpose of BSK&Associates' (BSK's) investigation will be to collect soil and groundwater samples from beneath the former waste oil underground storage tank(UST). BSK anticipates the direct push boring will be advanced to a depth of approximately 20 feet. The proposed investigation has been detailed in the workplan. Noise and waste oil constituent exposures may be encountered at this site. Noise levels will not be monitored; personnel will wear hearing protection as described in Section 5.3. Skin contact with potentially contaminated soil or water will be minimized by wearing personal protective clothing(as described in Section 7.0). As direct push drilling creates minimal drill cuttings, drilling operations are not expected to generate a sustained visible dust cloud. If necessary, a water mist will be applied to reduce dust generation. Inhalation of vapors during drilling and sampling is not expected to be significant due to the relatively low concentrations of waste oil constituents expected to be encountered. Ingestion of contaminated materials will be minimized by good personal hygiene during decontamination. 2.0 PURPOSE OF HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN The purpose of this plan is to assign responsibilities, establish personal protection standards and safety procedures, and provide for contingencies that may arise during project operations at the site. This plan complies with,but does not replace, Federal Health and Safety regulations as set forth in 29 CFR 1910 and 1926, California Health and Safety Regulations as set forth in Title 8, California Code of Regulations, and guidance established by the California Department of Health Services. This plan is to be used by BSK personnel as a supplement to such rules, regulations, and guidelines. 3.0 APPLICABILITY OF THE PLAN The provisions of this plan are mandatory for on-site BSK employees engaged in hazardous material management activities including but not limited to initial site reconnaissance, preliminary field investigations,mobilization,project operations, and demobilization where waste oil is the expected, sole contaminant, and invasive work is limited to direct push drilling. Changing or unanticipated site conditions may require modification of this site safety plan to maintain a safe work environment. Modifications to the plan should be recorded in field notes; under no circumstances will modifications to this plan conflict with federal, state, or local health and safety regulations. BSK is providing a copy of this Health and Safety Plan to a representative of each site contractor (in compliance with 29 CFR 1910.120(b) (15))to inform contractors of site hazards. Each A-1
