U U Site Safety and Health Plan Petroleum Hydrocarbon Contamination Terracon Project#67047008 Page 8 9.0 SITE CONTROL An Exclusion Zone, Contaminant Reduction Zone and a Support Zone will be established whenever project activities require Level C or Level B personal protective equipment. Defined access and egress points will be established and personnel will enter only through those points. As permitted by site topography, the area within a 50 foot radius of a drill rig and 100 foot radius of UST removal excavation shall be considered the Exclusion Zone. Only those personnel designated by the Project Manager/SSO are allowed to enter the Exclusion Zone. Where III practical, or where their use will prevent public injury, temporary signs or barricade fencing will be established to define the Exclusion Zone. ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING WILL BE PERMITTED WITHIN THE EXCLUSION OR CONTAMINANT REDUCTION ZONES ON ANY PETROLEUM CONTAMINATED SITE. If unauthorized personnel attempt to enter the exclusion zone, the SSO will verbally inform the individual(s) to leave the project site. If unauthorized individuals refuse to leave the Exclusion Zone or are considered in danger or pose danger to project personnel, the SSO will cease project activities (i.e., shut down drill rigs, excavation equipment, etc.) and notify the client representative or the local police of the situation. Site activities will not resume until unauthorized personnel have left the project site. 10.0 AIR MONITORING AND SITE ACTION LEVELS I This air monitoring protocol is designed to prevent personnel exposure to airborne contaminants in excess of established permissible exposure limits. The results of field air monitoring will be used to determine the continued adequacy of initial personal protective equipment. Air monitoring equipment required for petroleum contaminated sites will include the following: • Photoionization Detector (Thermo Environmental, Inc. 580 B OVM or equivalent) I Task Leader(s) will be knowledgeable in the operation of the photoionization detector. A manual on the operation of the PID and the appropriate calibration kit will be mobilized to the project site with the instrument. Photoionization detectors will be calibrated under field conditions each day prior to use. Task Leaders are instructed to consult the manufacturer's specifications for appropriate calibration gas and calibration techniques. j A photoionization detector (PID)will be used to determine approximate hydrocarbon vapor concentrations in the BREATHING ZONE of site personnel. Continuous breathing zone air monitoring will be conducted during initial phases of intrusive activities (i.e., boring, excavation). If PID readings are less than 10 ppm, monitoring may be conducted at intervals of 10 minutes. If initial PID readings exceed 10 ppm, or if hydrocarbon odors become evident upon during auger advancement, continuous breathing zone air monitoring will be conducted.. If sustained PID readings in the breathing zone exceed 25 ppm, personnel will upgrade to respiratory protection as outlined below. Personnel will remain in air purifying respirators until I
