Underground Utility Survey Prior to installing extraction wells and conducting trenching activities, available utility records will be reviewed, and an underground utility survey of the construction area will be performed. The purpose of the utility survey is to locate any subsurface obstructions or utilities that could be damaged during subsurface construction activities. If subsurface obstructions or utilities are present at extraction well or trench locations, the obstruction or utility will be removed or relocated, or the extraction well location or pipeline layout will be adjusted as necessary. Establishment of Equipment and Material Staging Areas Prior to initiating construction activities, a staging area will be established. The staging area serves the following purposes: • Provides a location for storage of construction material where the materials will not be compromised by weather or vandalism. Accordingly, the staging area will be level, and fenced as necessary. Construction material sensitive to weather will be elevated above the ground surface to prevent contact with surface water, and covered as necessary. • Provides a central location for storage of construction equipment. Some construction equipment may be in contact with impacted soil during construction activities. Therefore, the staging area will have an associated equipment storage area to minimize the spreading of impacted soil. Additionally, the staging area may include an adjacent equipment decontamination area. The equipment decontamination area will include equipment such as brooms and water hoses and a water supply as necessary to decontaminate equipment. Any soil or water generated as part of equipment decontamination activities will be containerized and sampled to determine the appropriate method for disposal. 7-2
