M and M Automotive *01 November 1994 Site Specific Safety Plan Soil Boring/Sampling WES Project No. 4070-T Well Installation SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION The health and safety of all project personnel involved at M and M Automotive Soil Boring, Sampling Project, and Groundwater Monitoring Well Installation is of primary importance. Therefore, this Site Specific Health and Safety Plan was developed and is intended to be followed by all project personnel. It is the responsibility of the Project Manager (PM) to implement and enforce the plan and any subsequent revisions, during the course of all operations at the site. 1 . 1 OVERVIEW M and M Automotive has retained Wright Environmental Services, Inc. to perform a subsurface investigation at their facility located at 60 E. 10 th Street, Tracy, California. The work performed during this investigation will consist of soil borings using a drill rig, sampling of soil and groundwater from each boring to determine the vertical and lateral extent of subsurface soil contamination in the vicinity of the former underground gasoline storage tanks and dispenser at 60 E. 10 th Street, in Tracy. Upon completion of the investigation, 3 groundwater monitoring wells will be installed at selected locations. The chemical hazards expected to be encountered at the M and M Automotive site are gasoline, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene. The other hazards expected to be encountered during the project are exposure to physical hazards such as slipping, tripping, cuts, strains bruises, smashing limbs from working around heavy equipment (pinch points), broken bones and heat stress. The soil sampling will include the use of a truck mounted drill rig equipped with hollow stem augers and split spoon sampling devices. Samples will be collected using brass sleeves with teflon end liners and plastic caps. Decontamination of the sampling device will be accomplished on site using a detergent solution. Augers will be decontaminated on site using a steam cleaner. SECTION 2 PROJECT SAFETY AUTHORITY Personnel responsible for the on site project safety are the Project Manager, Lester Messina and/or the Site Safety Officer, on site Manager and/or the Site Safety Officer Cynthia Virostko.
