0 <br /> • SECTION D <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PLAN <br /> D1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> During the sampling and removal of contaminated equipment and materials, spills, <br /> noise, fugitive dust, and releases of hazardous and contaminated materials may <br /> occur. These occurrences may: (1) adversely affect the health of onsite workers; <br /> (2) pose a risk to environmental receptors; (3) unfavorably alter ecological <br /> balances; or (4) degrade the use of the environment for aesthetic, cultural, or <br /> historical purposes. <br /> The purpose of this environmental protection plan is to minimize potential adverse <br /> impacts on the environment and onsite workers during site activities. It makes <br /> provisions for abatement and control of these impacts on air, soil, water, vegetation, <br /> and land resources. <br /> D2.0 PROTECTION OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES <br /> D2.1 Site Survey <br /> • Site condition will be surveyed by the COR and CKY before the start of site <br /> activities. This survey will include, but not limited to, a review of the conditions of <br /> the sites, roads, trees, shrubs, and landscaped areas immediately adjacent to the <br /> work area and adjacent to assigned storage area and access routes. Site features <br /> and existing conditions will be pictured or video taped. The existence and location <br /> of any wetlands, endangered species, special habitats, or other protected areas will <br /> be identified during the survey. <br /> D2.2 Protection of Air Resources <br /> D2.2.1 Air Emissions <br /> Prior to starting the site activities, the work area at the UST site will be inspected. <br /> The site will be monitored under the supervision of the Safety and Health Officer <br /> (SHO) during the initial phases of the work operations and when conditions at the <br /> site change. It is not anticipated that air emissions from diesel fuel in the UST and <br /> piping will pose potentially harmful vapors in the work area. <br /> D2.2.2 Dust, Exhaust, and Burning <br /> Fugitive dust may occur during the excavation, backfilling, hauling, and soil/debris <br /> • stockpiling operations. The amount of dust generated is anticipated to be minimal <br /> under well-planned operations. However, care will be taken to avoid dusty <br /> D-1 <br />
