' 9000562C, Page 2 <br /> B.1 INTRODUCTION <br /> B.1.1 This health and safety plan (HSP) identifies the health and safety procedures for <br /> work described in Section B.3 to be conducted at the Tracy Defense Depot. <br /> Implementation of this plan is the responsibility of the Project Manager. This plan is to be <br /> used in conjunction with Woodward-Clyde Consultants Injury and Illness Prevention <br /> Program, which can be found in Woodward-Clyde Consultants Health and Safety Manual <br /> for California. A copy of the Health and Safety manual shall also be present on site. The <br /> Site Safety Officer assists the Project Manager in carrying out this responsibility at the <br /> work site by enforcing the requirements of the health and safety plan and by the authority to <br /> suspend work to protect health and safety. The Operating Unit Health and Safety Officer, <br /> Corporate Health and Safety Officer or Project Manager may suspend or limit work, or <br /> direct changes in work practices, if the health and safety plan and/or work practices being <br /> used are deemed to be inadequate to ensure employee health and safety. <br /> B.1.2 This plan may not be used for work other than that described in Section B.3. It <br /> may not be modified or used beyond the expiration date shown in the title page without the <br /> written approval of the Operating Unit Health and Safety Officer and the Corporate Health <br /> and Safety Officer. <br /> B.2 SITE DESCRIPTION <br /> B.2.1 The Tracy Defense Depot is one of seven principal distribution depots in the <br /> Defense Logistics Agency system. Its mission includes the receipt, storage, maintenance, <br /> inventory, and issue of supplies and materials to military installations, other Department of <br /> Defense agencies, and to federal civil agencies. <br /> B.2.2 The facility occupies 448 acres, located approximately 1-11/2 miles southeast of the <br /> city of Tracy, California. It is located in a rich agricultural region, with the surrounding <br /> countryside. Previous investigations have found chlorinated solvents (TCE and PCE) in <br /> the soil and groundwater. Trace amounts of metals (at or below background <br /> concentrations) have also been identified. <br />
