3. Field Investigation <br />This section of the work plan provides information regarding procedures that will be used to <br />complete the field exploration activities. <br />3.1. Pre -Field Activities <br />The following summarizes project activities that will be performed prior to commencing the field <br />investigation. <br />3.1.1. Permits and Notifications <br />Prior to beginning fieldwork at the Santa Fe Road Disposal Sites, boring and trench permits may <br />be required. Prior to field mobilization, a Ninyo & Moore representative will contact Underground <br />Services Alert, to contact applicable companies to locate and mark subsurface public utilities. <br />Generally, these companies only mark utilities in public right of ways. CIWMB staff will obtain <br />the property owners and obtain permission to access the properties. They will also notify <br />appropriate regulatory agencies and provide them with the dates of the planned field <br />investigation. <br />3.1.2. Site Safety <br />On-site work will be subject to the procedures outlined in the site-specific health and safety plan <br />(SHSP) prepared by the CIWMB Health and Safety Section staff. The SHSP will provide <br />policies, information, requirements, and guidelines regarding procedures that will be followed by <br />personnel performing specific tasks at the site. The plan will be prepared in accordance with <br />Federal OSHA Hazardous Waste Operators and Emergency Response (HAZWOPPER) <br />Standard (29 CFR 1910.120) and Title 8 CCR Section 5192. Based on the previous site use <br />and the potential for hazardous wastes at some locations, CIWMB staff will provide a <br />designated health and safety officer (HSO). <br />Site workers will be required to read and sign the plan, acknowledging their familiarity with its <br />provisions, prior to commencing field activities. In addition, prior to beginning fieldwork at the <br />site, the HSO will conduct a tailgate meeting and discuss the key features of the SHSP. <br />Subcontractors associated with field activities will each be provided a copy of the SHSP, which <br />will be kept in their field vehicles and/or operating equipment. <br />3.1.3. Proposed Boring and Trench Excavations <br />CIWMB staff will be provided with an electronic copy of the site map indicating the locations of <br />the proposed boring and trench excavations. The locations will include northing and easting <br />coordinates. CIWMB and Ninyo & Moore staff will mark each proposed location in the field with <br />a stake and designated boring or trench identification. After completing the field investigation, <br />the actual locations of the excavated trenches and borings that may have been moved or <br />relocated based on geophysical findings and/or results of the investigation will be determined by <br />GPS. <br />3-19 <br />
