Port of Stockton Phase II ESA �� Health and Safety Plan 1.2 Project Health and Safety Expectations The safety and health of workers, clients, and the public, along with the protection of the environment are fundamental project expectations. HDR will: • Promote project safety with an objective of zero lost-time accidents. • Manage activities in a proactive way that effectively increases the protection of site workers, the public and the environment. • Reduce safety and health risk by identifying and eliminating hazards from site activities. • Carry out site activities in a manner that complies with all applicable safety, health and environmental laws and regulations. 1.3 Health and Safety Compliance Program Compliance with the requirements of applicable Federal laws will be accomplished through a combination of written programs, employee training, workplace monitoring, and system enforcement. HDR and regular inspections by supervisors and health and safety personnel, as well as the culture of ownership and total involvement in the health and safety program, will produce an atmosphere of voluntary compliance. However, disciplinary action for violations of project requirements will be taken, when necessary. The safe and efficient work practices of this company require a spirit of teamwork and cooperation from all employees. Also required are uniform standards of expected behavior. Employees who refuse or fail to follow the standard set forth by this plan, the HDR Corporate Safety, Health, and Environmental Program (SH&E) and/or regulatory standards; will subject themselves to disciplinary action up to, and including discharge. In cases not specifically mentioned, employees are expected to use good judgment and refer any questions to their supervisors. 1 .4 Project Scope A Phase I ESA was previously conducted by HDR along the Site. Recognized environmental conditions (RECs), historical recognized environmental conditions (HRECs), or controlled recognized environmental conditions (CRECs)were identified at 31 locations along the Project Alignment as potentially containing impacts from hazardous substances or petroleum products. The Site locations where RECs have been identified have been selected for additional investigation. Field work will be required to perform the Phase 11 ESA activities. This work will include site reconnaissance, drilling operations, soil sampling, groundwater sampling, lead-based paint (LBP) sampling, asbestos-containing materials (ACM) sampling, and management of investigative derived waste (IDW). Soil samples for laboratory analyses in the investigation area will be collected using a Direct Push Technology (DPT) drill rig, pneumatic shovel, or power auger. Groundwater grab samples will be collected for analysis at select sites. This HASP will be used with the understanding that field conditions may dictate changes. The bridge structure crossing the San Joaquin River has the potential to contain ACM and LBP, which could be disturbed during demolition. The ACM/LBP investigation will be conducted under 2 �
