... Project-specific Health and Saf*-161an:Extended Site Characterization, 7500 K! 11th*WTracy Page 2 Chemical Hazards Eight underground storage tanks and their associated piping beneath the site were removed in December 1998. Soil and groundwater in the subsurface beneath the subject property is known to be contaminated by gasoline and diesel. Gasoline and diesel may contain fractional components that are known to be human carcinogens. They also contain compounds that may injure human respiratory, hepatic, renal functions, and the central nervous system. If there is '-' exposure to high concentrations of the vapors of these fuels for long periods, dermal and eye injuries can also be sustained, especially if contact is made with the compounds in liquid form or with waste materials that are highly saturated with these materials. Amp Specific Health and Safety Requirements: The work required for this project is not known to involve special hazards beyond those covered by the standard requirements of The San Joaquin Company Inc.'s Master Heath Health and Safety Plan, incorporated herein by reference. All work will be conducted in compliance with the applicable policies, safety rules and safe working practices set out in that Master Plan, a copy of which is on file with SJCHCSA. However, for emphasis, the following specific requirements are cited. Site Access Control When push probe, hydro-punch or drill-rig operations are in progress at on-site or off-site locations, no persons other than those necessary to accomplish the work will be permitted to approach closer than 25 ft. of the probing or drilling site. No visitors, other than workers directly engaged in the work or authorized representatives of the project engineers, the property owners or regulatory agencies, shall be permitted to enter the property while the work is in progress. All visitors shall comply with the applicable requirements of The San Joaquin Company Inc.'s Master Health and Safety Plan. Protective Clothing and Equipment ��. Based on the hazards known to be present, personal protective equipment requirements for this project correspond to Level D (ref. Master Health and Safety Plan).
