W GR Southwest, ][Inc. 5.1. Health and Safety Plan A site specific Health and Safety Plan detailing known or potential hazards and emergency response procedures will be present on site and a "tailgate" safety meeting will be conducted prior to starting field activities. The plan will be maintained on-site throughout the duration of field activities. 5.2. Permitting The borings will be permitted with the SJCEHD. All proposed locations will be pre-approved by the Port's Maintenance Department and the proposed lessee,Bulk Materials. 5.3. Drill Site Clearance Prior to field operations, WGR will contact the Port Maintenance Department to determine if the Port has knowledge of any subsurface utilities present in the proposed drilling area. In addition the drilling locations will be marked in white and Underground Service Alert (USA) will be contacted to identify any potential subsurface obstructions and/or conflicts. 5.4. Soil Sampling and Analysis The soil borings will be advanced using direct push technology. The outer barrel for advancing the direct push soil borings will be approximately 2 inches in diameter, and the inner barrel will be approximately 1.75 inches in diameter. The dual-wall system minimizes sloughing,maintains boring alignment and minimizes vertical migration of contaminated soils or fluids. A closed barrel sampler will be advanced to the sampling depth, and the piston unlocked. The sampler, containing an acetate sample sleeve, will be driven to force soil into the sampler, and then the sampler will be removed and the sample sleeve extracted. The portion of the sleeve with the sampling depth interval will be immediately sealed with Teflon® film and polyethylene caps. All soil samples will be labeled with all pertinent sampling information, and packed on ice for subsequent delivery to a California state-certified laboratory for analyses. The soil in the remaining tubes will be described and logged by the field geologist in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Sampling equipment will be decontaminated between sampling episodes using a triple rinse method consisting of a wash with Alconox (or equivalent) solution, an initial rinse with tap water, and a final rinse with deionized water. 5.5. Groundwater Sampling One groundwater grab sample will be collected from each boring. A well screen housed within a protective sheath will be attached to an expendable drive point, drive rod and drive head. Rubber O-rings will keep the device water tight. Once the sampling depth is reached, the protective 792. PRI.01 Page 4 February 28, 2008
