As stated in Section 2.2, air monitoring action levels will be used to determine whether dust control measures being employed are sufficient. Due to the fact that the Site COC is exclusively particulate in nature, the Air Monitoring Officer will primarily focus on monitoring and analysis of airborne dust levels generated by removal activities. Spray-applied water will be the primary method of dust control on Site. Prior to commencement of excavation activities, excavation areas will be sprayed with enough water to minimize dust generation as necessary. Water trucks equipped with spray attachments (or appropriate alternatives) will be on-Site during soil movement activities. If the dust control methods described herein are not sufficient to perform the removal action, additional methods will be determined and implemented in consultation with DTSC. The Air Monitoring Officer will enforce dust action levels by informing equipment operators when dust concentrations are nearing action levels and ensuring that appropriate mitigation measures are taken if the action levels are exceeded. See Section 7.4 of the RAW for further information and Table 1 (RAW)for dust action levels. 5.2 DERMAL CONTACT Care should be exercised to prevent contact of soil with skin. Use of gloves will be required whenever contact with soil is possible.Disposable clothing will be used whenever deemed necessary by the Site Safety Officer. 5.3 INGESTION Eating and smoking will not be allowed within the exclusion zone. 6.0 TRAFFIC HAZARDS Field activities taking place in public streets or on road shoulders shall use Caltrans approved flagging and traffic control during the duration of activities.
