Remediation System Well Abandonment Work Plan JACOBS 2. Pre-Field Activities Prior to the start of well abandonment field activities, several planning activities will be conducted to facilitate the safe and efficient implementation of the field procedures. These activities are described in the following subsections. 2.1 Notifications and Permits Well Abandonment Permits will be obtained from SJCEHD prior to commencement of well abandonment activities. The selected drilling subcontractor will provide proof of current C-57 license and be registered with SJCEHD. PG&E's Gold Shovel Standard guidelines will be followed. In summary, if a marked utility is less than 2 feet from a proposed drilling location, mechanical drilling is not permitted. If the utility is within 5 feet, drilling may be permitted if the utility can be physically inspected (daylighted)first. In accordance with SJCEHD regulations, SJCEHD will be notified prior to well abandonment activities to coordinate a SJCEHD inspection appointment. Additionally, PG&E gas operations will be notified prior to work commencing. 2.2 Health and Safety Planning Prior to the start of field activities, a project-specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP)will be developed, which is intended to protect the health and safety of onsite well abandonment project employees, visitors, and the public during site work. The HASP identifies policies, procedures, and systems to be followed by project personnel and visitors while onsite. 2.3 Utility Clearance In accordance with PG&E's Gold Shovel Standard, intrusive work will not proceed until subsurface utilities clearance has been performed for the well abandonment locations and locations of underground piping to be removed. The subsurface utility clearance for the well abandonment locations will be conducted both by engaging a third-party subsurface utility location firm and by notifying Underground Service Alert at least 48 hours before field activities begin.
