GROUND WATER INVESTIGATION WORK PLAN <br />BULK TERMINALS SITE, PORT OF STOCKTON, STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA <br />Implementation of this work plan will commence following approval by the Regional Board <br />and as soon as access to the bulk terminals site is feasible and safe for all required personnel <br />and equipment. Following approval of this work plan, appropriate subcontractors will be <br />contacted, contracted, and scheduled. All reasonable attempts will be made to schedule the <br />fieldwork as soon as possible. <br />All work will be performed under the supervision of a California Registered Geologist, or <br />California Professional Engineer. All laboratory analyses will be performed by a California <br />certified laboratory. All drilling and well installation will be performed in accordance with the <br />California Department of Water Resources Well Standards Bulletin 74-81. <br />3.1 PHASE 1: HYDROGEOLOGIC CHARACTERIZATION <br />3.1.1 Task 1: Permitting, Utility Clearance, and Health & Safety Plan <br />As described below, drilling activities are planned at the bulk terminals site. Therefore, <br />appropriate permits for these activities will be acquired from the San Joaquin County and the <br />City of Stockton. Underground Service Alert (USA) will be notified to clear the proposed <br />drilling locations for underground utilities, and a private utility locator may be used to clear <br />specific drilling locations. The proposed drilling locations are contingent upon access <br />limitations (e.g., site features, utilities) and final locations may be moved to the closest <br />accessible location. <br />As required by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) 29 CFR 1910.120, <br />Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Responses, a site-specific Health and Safety Plan <br />(HSP) will be prepared for use while conducting the proposed field sampling activities. The <br />HSP will be read and approved by the Project Manager, a Quality Assurance Reviewer, and the <br />On-site Safety Officers of all subcontractors working at the Site. <br />3.1.2 Task 2— Boring Advancement and Sample Collection <br />Borings will be advanced using hydraulic direct-push (e.g., geoprobe) drilling equipment. Prior <br />to drilling, the depth to water will be measured in the four existing monitor wells to identify the <br />likely depth to water in other areas of the site. This task also includes ground water sampling at <br />existing monitor wells MW-1 through MW-4 (Figure 5). This task explains boring <br />methodologies, sampling locations, and sample collection, preservation, and handling <br />procedures. <br />July 2005 Page 8 Environmental Risk Services Corp.
