Phase II Work Plan 20 E.Lindsay St. Page 2 information such as potential hazards encountered at the site, personal protective equipment, and directions and telephone numbers to the nearest hospital. A copy of the site-specific health and safety plan is included in Appendix B. Personnel working at the site will have completed 40 hours of classroom training (OSHA 29 CFR 1920.120, HAZWOPER) and 24 hours of supervised field training concerning hazards that may be encountered at hazardous waste sites. Additionally, field personnel working at the site will participate in a medical monitoring program. 3.3 DIRECT PUSH BORING PROCEDURES Six direct push borings will be advanced within the property. The proposed boring locations are shown on Figure 3 in Appendix A. All of the borings will be advanced to approximately 15 feet below ground surface(bgs), above the water table: groundwater is anticipated to be deeper than 15 feet bgs. The direct push borings will be hydraulically advanced using a 2-inch diameter conical bit. The bit and associated push rods will be thoroughly cleaned before each boring is advanced using laboratory-grade, non-phosphate detergent and deionized water and double rinsed with deionized water. Upon completion of the borings and sampling,the borings will be grouted with neat cement. Continuous core soil samples will be collected from the boring with a 1.75-inch O.D., 4-foot long core barrel fitted with a clean, single use, polyethylene liner. The soil sampling equipment will be cleaned prior to collecting the sample using laboratory-grade, non-phosphate detergent and deionized water and double rinsed with deionized water. During the sampling, the core barrel will be driven in 4-foot intervals. The sample liner will be extracted from the core barrel and used for geological logging and field observations. The soil samples will be logged according to the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). Portions of the soil samples will be placed in polyethylene bags and checked with a photoionization detector (PID) for the presence of volatile hydrocarbons. Geological logs will be prepared containing field observations including soil type, estimated moisture content, PID measurements, and the presence of staining or odor. Soil samples will be collected from the borings for laboratory analyses at five-foot intervals beginning at 5 feet bgs, or wherever contaminated soil is identified, for a maximum of three soil samples per boring. The soil cuttings will be placed in a 55-gallon drum, sealed, labeled,and left on-site to await disposal pending results of the laboratory analyses. Each soil sample collected for laboratory analyses will be cut from the liners. The liners will be sealed at the ends with Teflon® sheeting, capped, and labeled. The samples will be placed in a cooler chilled with Blue Ice® and delivered under chain-of-custody procedures to a California certified laboratory for analyses. 3.4 LABORATORY ANALYSES Upon completion of the fieldwork, the soil samples will be delivered under chain-of-custody procedures to a state certified laboratory for analyses. The soil samples collected from the borings will be analyzed for TPH-G, TPH-D, TPH-MO, and TPH-K by EPA Method 8015B, for VOCs by EPA Method 8260B, and for BTEX and gasoline oxygenates/additives by EPA Method 8260B. The gasoline additives/oxygenates include tertiary-butanol (TBA), methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE), di-isopropyl ether (DIPE), ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), tertiary-amyl methyl ether (TAME), and 1,2- dichloroethane (1,2-DCA). In addition, soil samples with visual or olfactory indications of hydrocarbon
