Work Plan—Soil Borings Page 2 <br /> 2441 W.Charter Way-Stockton <br /> GPE Project 667.2 <br /> I INTRODUCTION <br /> This health and safety plan (HSP) covers the soil and groundwater sampling fieldwork associated <br /> with the attached Work Plan. This plan describes measures designed to assure worker protection <br /> from adverse exposure to site contaminants and other physical hazards. <br /> Project Background <br /> The subject site was operated for many years as a small municipal landfill, as documented <br /> elsewhere. Despite statements to the contrary, this use could have entailed disposal of organic <br /> matter or improper disposal of hazardous materials including petroleum products, contaminant <br /> heavy metals such as arsenic and lead, or volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds. See the <br /> attached Work Plan for details. <br /> Key Personnel& Responsibility <br /> The following table summarizes the personnel expected to participate in the field work and their <br /> respective responsibilities and authority: <br /> Person Affiliation Responsibility <br /> Steve Lankford Geo-Phase Environmental Inc.

Insofar as the <br /> property was formerly used as described, however, it must be assumed that methane could be <br /> produced by decaying organic matter. Methane is not toxic, but in high concentrations it can be <br /> an asphyxiant and become explosive. <br />
