FIELD PROCEDURES Site Safet Plan This plan describes the safety requirements for Feld work performed at the site. The site safety plan is applicable to personnel of RESNA who perform the field work. A copy of the site safety plan is available for reference by appropriate partes during the work The onsite representative of RFSNA acts as the Site Safety Officer. D-n-11inE Methods Before drilling begins, we will notify Underground Service Alert of our intent to drill so that approximate locations of underground utility lines and structures can be marked. The soil borings are started by hand-angenng to a depth of 5 feet to minimize the possibility of damaging underground utilities The bonngs are drilled with a CME 55 or similar drill ng equipped with 8-inch-outside-diameter by 4-114-inch-inside-diameter and 10-inch-outside-diameter by 6-1/4-inch-inside-diameter, continuous-flight, hollow-stem augers The augers are steam-cleaned before use in each boring to minimize cross-contamination of the borings The drill cuttings are stored in type 17-E, steel, 55-gallon drums or stockpiled onsite and covered with plastic before disposal at an appropriate disposal facility. Soil SamDline in Bonn s Soil samples for analysis and identification are collected at approximately 5-foot intervals from the borings during drilling. Soil samples are collected by advancing the boring to a point just above the sampling depth and then driving a California-modified, split-spoon sampler containing clean brass sleeves through the hollow center of the auger into the soil. The sampler is driven 18 inches with a standard 140-pound hammer repeatedly dropped 30 inches. The number of blows needed to drive the sampler each successive 6 inches is counted and recorded to evaluate the relative consistency of the soil. Sampling equipment is cleaned between each use with an industrial soap and clean tap water. oil Sample Labeling and Handling The soil samples selected for possible laboratory analysis are removed from the sampler and quickly sealed in their brass sleeves with aluminum foil, plastic caps, and duct tape. The respective sample containers are labeled in the field with the fob number, sample location and depth, and date, and promptly placed in iced storage for transport to the laboratory. Cham of Custody Records are initiated in the field by the technician and accompanied the samples to a laboratory certified by the State of California to perform the analyses requested. •
