%001 %WV <br />1.4 SITE SAFETY PLAN <br />The contractor shall prepare a Site Safety Plan. The safety plan shall <br />accommodate the handling of the tank contents as a flammable material. <br />The tank contents may pose a potential explosion hazard in confined areas <br />such as tanks, buildings, or poorly ventilated excavations. <br />The Site Safety Plan shall include details of the following items: <br />a. Worker safety information and instructions <br />b. Procedures for working with flammable materials (i.e., pumping <br />flammable liquids, cutting tanks and pipes containing flammable <br />liquids or vapors) <br />c. Protective equipment <br />d. Detection of combustible gas <br />e. Site security <br />f. Notification of appropriate emergency agencies <br />g. Spill reporting requirements <br />The Site Safety Plan shall be approved by the Project Manager before <br />start of work. <br />2.0 REMOVAL OF TANK CONTENTS AND TANKS <br />2.1 GENERAL <br />In addition to removing the contents of the tanks, it is intended that <br />all piping interconnected with the tanks be drained as necessary, cut- <br />off, purged and capped or otherwise sealed. Arrangements shall be made <br />to contain and dispose of the pipe contents. <br />2.2 SPECIFICS <br />One tank contains small amounts of gasoline and sediment. The contents <br />of this tank shall be removed and disposed of. Any liquid pumped from <br />the tank shall be incinerated. After pumping out as much of the liquid <br />contents as possible, the remaining material shall be removed manually <br />and placed in approved (RCRA and DOT) containers for incineration. The <br />second tank contains sand contaminated with gasoline. The sand shall <br />be removed and, if allowed by the Air Quality Management District, spread <br />on-site to allow the gasoline to vaporize. If spreading is not allowed, <br />the sand will be landfilled at an approved site. <br />3.0 TANK DECONTAMINATION AND DISPOSAL <br />The tanks shall be decontaminated and sold for scrap. Decontamination <br />shall consist of the following: <br />a. If a manway cover is not present or accessible, an opening shall <br />be cut in the tanks using a method which prevents the possibility <br />of flareup or explosion. <br />-2- <br />
