0963c*-2 <br /> 3.0 WORK DESCRIPTION <br /> Field activities will consist of an investigation of the facility and <br /> surrounding areas to verify and quantify contamination of soils and <br /> groundwater. Soil samples will be collected along the west side of <br /> the building using a hand auger or other hand tools. Soil samples <br /> collected from borings both inside the building and outside will be <br /> taken using a standard penetration sampler. Monitoring wells will be <br /> installed in all of the soil bores, and samples of groundwater will be <br /> collected. <br /> 4.0 HAZARD ASSESSMENT <br /> The interior of the facility has been cleaned out. The plating tanks <br /> have all been removed and the spilled material on the floors and in <br /> the sumps has all been removed. The floors and sumps have had their <br /> surfaces washed down. There is no standing liquid nor any open <br /> containers. <br /> The primary hazards are concrete dust contaminated with metals <br /> generated when the concrete floors are cored and the potential for <br /> skin contact with soil and water samples contaminated with heavy <br /> metals. Soil and water samples may also have a low enough pH to be <br /> mildly acidic. <br /> Table 1 identifies the chemical substances which may present some <br /> hazards to the field investigators. The table includes permissible <br /> exposure limits (PEL) established by the Occupational Safety and <br /> Health Administration (OSHA) and the Immediate Danger to Life and <br /> Health (IDLH) levels established by National Occupational Safety and <br /> Health (NIOSH) . <br />
