SITE SAFETY AND HEALTH PLAN This site safety and health plan (SSHP) addresses the potential health and safety hazards and the procedures to be used during field operations. Project descriptions, including site information and project objectives, are described previously in the Workplan. Field Activities The investigation activities planned for this site will include excavating five trenches and drilling, installation, development and sampling of five groundwater monitoring wells to evaluate the potential impact to soil and groundwater from raw tile material and reject tiles coated with a mold-releasing agent. This agent is predominant composed of heavier end petroleum hydrocarbons with up to 5% fatty acids. The raw tile material and the reject tiles were transported from the MonierLifetile French Camp factory to Pellegri Farms, located at 21606 El Rancho Road, San Joaquin County, California (Site) (Figure 1). The trenches will be dug no deeper than 4 feet. In addition, there will be surface water samples collected from a nearby drainageway. One to two Brown and Caldwell (BC) personnel may be on site at any given time in conjunction with drilling and trenching personnel. All trenching and drilling will be conducted by California licensed contractors. The contractor is responsible for providing the trenching competent person, and maintaining compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) trenching permitting process. All subcontractors will work under the direct supervision of the BC representative. Trenching and drilling locations will be chosen by BC. The chemicals of concern are petroleum hydrocarbons. KEY PERSONNEL Ms. Linda Conlan will function as the project manager (PM). Ms. Wendy Linck will function as project geologist (PG) and site safety officer (SSO). Ms. Anne Baptiste, Certified Industrial Hygienist (C", is the corporate health and safety officer (CHSO). The project field staff have completed 40 hours of comprehensive health and safety training which meets the requirements of Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1910.120 (29 CFR 1910.120). The SSO has the authority to monitor and correct health and safety problems as noticed on site. The PM is responsible for generating, organizing, and compiling the SSHP, which describes all planned field activities and potential hazards that may be encountered at the site. The PM is also responsible for assuring that the project is performed in a manner consistent with the BC health and safety program and that adequate training and safety briefing(s) for the project are provided to the project team. The PM has provided a copy of this SSHP to each member of the project field team and one copy to the subcontractor prior to field activities. P:\20000\20587\SSHP R1.dm Page 1
