1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Scope and Applicability

Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) has developed the information provided in this Health and Safety

Plan (HASP) for use by SAIC employees .during field activities conducted as part of a technical work assignment in

support of the U.S. EPA Field Evaluation and Testing Services (FEATS) Contract. The project activities will be

conducted at the Sunrise Mountain Landfill site. The field activities will involve collection of crust and soil aggregate

samples from the clean soil cover, as well as the performance of field tests on the stability of the soil crust. These field

tests and laboratory analyses of samples collected at this site will support an expert evaluation of the stability of the soil

cover to erosion.

This HASP was prepared in accordance with the requirements contained in SAIC's Corporate Environmental

Compliance & Health and Safety Manual (Procedure 20, Hazardous Waste Operations) and for the purpose of assigning

responsibilities, establishing personal protection standards and mandatory safety procedures, providing for contingencies

that may arise while operations are being conducted. SAIC disclaims responsibility for any use of this information other

than the express purpose for which it is intended and assumes no liability for the use of this information for any other

purpose. The evaluations of potential hazards and their controls reflect professional judgments subject to the accuracy

and completeness of information available when the plan was prepared. The plan is written for specific site conditions,

purposes, dates, and personnel, and must be amended if conditions change during the course of the project.

1.2 Health and Safety Plan Overview

SAIC will supply personnel and equipment to perform sampling under technical oversight of U.S. EPA personnel.

SAIC will provide field equipment and supplies necessary to collect samples from the top 0- to 1-inch and 3- to 6-inch

interval. The site operator will repair the soil cap after sampling. SAIC will ship samples to a qualified subcontract

laboratory to determine a variety of chemical parameters identified in the QAPP.

This HASP is designed to cover potential hazards associated with field activities at the site to assure safe and

healthful working conditions. The following items are covered in the HASP:

Before initiating field activities, all project field personnel will read and become familiar with the contents of this

HASP.

1.3 Site Descriptions and History

The Sunrise Mountain Landfill site, located approximately 3 miles east of Las Vegas, in Clark County, Nevada on

the eastern edge of Las Vegas Valley, immediately southeast of Frenchman Mountain. The Site includes the closed

Sunrise Mountain Landfill, which lies on a 720-acre parcel of land that is leased to Clark County by the Bureau of

Land Management (BLM); and three adjacent areas known as the Northeast Canyon Area, the Eastern Perimeter

Area, and the Western Burn Pit Area. The uppermost portion of the landfill area is located within the canyon

directly east of Frenchman Mountain. However, the majority of the landfill is located on a large alluvial fan that

originates at the mouth of the canyon and spreads out into the adjacent valley. Elevation on the Site ranges from

1,900 to 2,275 feet above mean sea level (MSL). (EPA 2000a)

BLM issued a Special Land Use Permit to Clark County in 1952. Clark County has leased the property from the

BLM since 1962. Since 1952, Clark County has used the property for the purpose of providing solid waste disposal

services to county residents and businesses. Clark County contracted operation of the landfill in 1975 to DUMPCO,

a recently acquired and wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Services, Inc. The acquired subsidiary is referred to as

Republic DUMPCO. The Sunrise Mountain Landfill initially closed in 1995. Waste has been disposed on

approximately 440 acres of land owned by BLM. The landfill contains primarily municipal solid waste and the

waste is believed to be in excess of 200 feet deep in some locations. In 1998, the landfill cover was severely

damaged by a 200-year storm. Waste was exposed and carried toward the Las Vegas Wash, which feeds into Lake

Mead, an important drinking water source. EPA has issued,two Unilateral Administrative Orders to the operators of

Sunrise, including an Order under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and one under the Clean

Water Act (CWA) for violations of storm water requirements. The RCRA Order requires operators of the landfill,

including Republic DUMPCO and related entities (collectively "Republic"), to design and implement an appropriate

cap for Sunrise, as well as an appropriate gas collection plan and groundwater monitoring. Republic retained SCS

Engineers and EMCON to prepare the Work Plan (SCS 2000) and the Sampling Analysis Plan (EPA 2000a), from

which are derived the information in this section.

2.0 PROJECT ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES

2.1 Project Organization

SAIC is responsible for implementing the sampling and analysis aspects of this project. SAIC will provide the

• Conducting a post-field activity briefing at the end of the project to identify problemsencountered and lessons learned, and preparing a record summarizing actions taken to ensurecompliance with applicable requirements at the site.

Field Team Members

At the Sunrise Mountain Landfill site, Mr. Rawe will be supported by two subcontractors: 1) Dr. James Oster, a soil

scientist providing expert evaluation of soil cover crust stability and 2) Dr. Clifford Anderson, an expert in soil

cover design. Ms. Sandy Doty, the Field Sample Manager, will support Mr. Rawe onjhis project. Representatives

of EPA Region 9 (Steve Wall and Laurie Williams) will accompany the SAIC field team. Mr. Rawe is responsible

for technical oversight of all field sample collection and testing activities. It should be noted that EPA Region 9 is

responsible for gaining access to the site. All field personnel at the site are responsible for protecting their own

health and safety to the best of their abilities and each assumes the following responsibilities:

• Carry documentation showing current 8-hour OSHA health and safety training and currentannual physical examination (only for those performing sampling).

• Wear and maintain personal protective equipment as specified in the HASP;

• Review and sign the HASP for sampling in which they are to participate;

« Abide by the rules presented in this HASP and maintain possession of the plan while at thesite;

• Take all precautions to prevent injury to themselves and their coworkers and have a thoroughknowledge of specific emergency response procedures for their specific work sites;

• Perform only those tasks that they believe they can do safely; and

• Notify the SSC of any health and safety hazards or violations observed or inadequatelycontrolled by procedures contained in the HASP.

Contractors

All contractor representatives will be responsible for protecting their own health and safety to the best of their

abilities. SAIC assumes no responsibility for the health and safety of subcontractor personnel. Contractor personnel

are to provide their own PPE during the sample collection activities, (e.g., chemical resistant clothing and boots).


In addition, contractors are responsible for shipping their equipment to the sample collection locations. Contractors

are responsible for ensuring that equipment is transported to the proper location, arrives on time, and is operable.

Contractors are also responsible for operating, maintaining, repairing their equipment. All contracted field

personnel will participate in a safety meeting on the morning of the first day to coordinate all field-sampling

activities. During this meeting, project logistics, and responsibilities will be reviewed. In addition, the contractor

will be responsible for the following activities:

• Provide information on operator qualifications and training;

• Ensure that all contractor personnel have proper OSHA training and are familiar with thecontents of this HASP.

Visitors

No visitors will be permitted on-site unless approved by the appropriate agencies and the site operator. SAIC

assumes no responsibility for the health and safety of visitors at the site.

3.0 TASK DESCRIPTION

The objective of the sampling is to collect samples of clean soil cover at two depth intervals (0- to 1-inch and 3- to

6-inch) and perform specific physical and chemical analyses to evaluate the stability of the soil crust to erosion.

SAIC will supply personnel and equipment to perform sampling under technical oversight of U.S. EPA personnel.

A total of 32 locations will be sampled, including field duplicate samples at three of these locations. The 32 sample

locations have been selected based on previous sample locations, which will reduce the likelihood of encountering

solid wastes. These locations will be identified by the site operator using hand-held GPS and marked in advance of

sampling operations. At each sample location, SAIC will cut a hole approximately 8-inches in diameter. SAIC staff

will then cut away the top 0- to 1-inch layer from soil surrounding the hole until a total of 2 pounds (4 pounds in the

case of field duplicate samples) of soil; SAIC will collect soil samples using a clean steel shovel, spatula, knife, or

other such implement. Samples will be double-bagged and stored in coolers according to the procedures outlined in

the Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP).

The site operator will repair the soil cover after sampling. Any sampling residuals (e.g., soil crust and pieces of

aggregated soil) will be placed in the respective sample holes from which they were derived and will be covered with

additional clean soil. The volume of decontamination water will be minimized (less than 5 gallons for the complete

sampling effort) and any resulting water will be used to compact the soil repairs. No hazardous wastes will be


generated. Any residual wastes from sampling and decontamination operations (e.g., wet wipes or paper towels) will

be discarded as solid waste.

3.1 SAIC Responsibilities

SAIC will be responsible for collection of the soil samples and all logistical issues at the site. The SAIC field

manager is expected to:

• Collect and process collected samples;

• Ship samples;

• Document field activities in a field notebook, including any equipment downtime or generalproblems with sample collection;

• Document any chemicals used (not anticipated), review of MSDS sheets as appropriate.

4.0 SITE SPECIFIC HAZARD EVALUATION

4.1 Potential Chemical Exposures

For the planned activities at both the Sunrise Mountain Landfill there are no chemicals of concern in the soil; the

cover soil is clean. Cover soils are generally in excess of 12 inches; as a result, potential exposure to solid waste

will be minimized. No sampling will be performed in areas where solid waste is exposed. If solid waste is

encountered during sampling, the sample hole will be re-located to avoid the solid waste. Due to the potential to

encounter buried solid waste, dermal protection (i.e., gloves) is required when handling the samples. Cloth or

leather work gloves will be worn during sampling unless a specific solid waste hazard is encountered, in which case,

nitrile gloves will be placed under work gloves to prevent exposure to potential disease vectors.

There is also the potential for exposure to the following air-borne contaminants: methane and hydrogen sulfide gas.

The most likely potential mode of occupational exposure to SAIC employees is inhalation; exposure by ingestion and

skin and/or eye contact is expected to be minimal or unlikely. Exposure to low concentrations of hydrogen sulfide may

cause irritation to the eyes, nose, or throat. It may also cause difficulty in breathing for some asthmatics. Brief

exposures to high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide (greater than 500 ppm) can cause a loss of consciousness and

possibly death. No health effects have been found in humans exposed to typical environmental concentrations of

hydrogen sulfide (0.00011-0.00033 ppm). Methane is combustible, and mixtures of about 5 to 15 percent in air are

explosive. Methane is not toxic when inhaled, but it can produce suffocation by reducing the concentration of oxygen

inhaled. Table 4-1 provides chemical and physical properties for methane and hydrogen sulfide gas.

4.2 Radiological Hazards

The site has no known radiological hazard areas; thus no site related radiation hazards are expected.

4.3 Biological Hazards

Potential natural biological hazards include plants, insects, arachnids, snakes, and mammals. Additional biological

hazards may consist of disease vectors from exposed solid waste. [Given the cold temperatures expected during the

planned field activities, insect hazards are expected to be unlikely.] Personnel with any known allergies will be

required to notify the SSC prior to conducting any type of work related activities at the sites. This includes allergies

from insect bites (i.e. wasps, bees, etc), or medication.

Plants

The HASP for Republic DUMPCo, Inc. states, the area is "void of vegetation". Therefore, plant hazards are unlikely.

In the event plants are present, plant hazards may include vegetation with spines (cactus) and poison ivy.

• Cactus: No information is available on the types or frequency of occurrence of cactus species, but the

presence of any spine-bearing plants will be noted when setting up to sample at each location.

• Poison Ivy: Poison ivy is characterized by clumps of three leaves, which typically turn red or yellow in the

fall. Again, no information is available on the types or frequency of occurrence of poison ivy, but the

presence of this species will be noted when setting up to sample at each location.

Insects

Insect hazards include fire ants, bees, and wasps. Some people are highly allergic to insect stings.

Health and Safety Plan -Field Tests and Sampling and Analyses of the Soil Cover at the Sunrise Mountain Landfill Site8

3/28/2005

• Fire Ants: These insects are typically found in enlarged mounds and are aggressive when the mound is

disturbed.

• Bees and Wasps: These insects may also be aggressive, especially when nests are disturbed.

Arachnids

Arachnids potentially present on the site include venomous spiders (black widow and brown recluse spiders) and

scorpions.

• Spiders: Black widows are shiny black spiders with long legs, %-inch in size. The females have an

hourglass-shaped red mark on the underside of the abdomen. Bites cause painful muscle spasms in healthy

adults for two to four days. Brown Recluse are brown spiders that are approximately Vz- to 5/8-inch in size.

They have long legs and a distinctive dark brown fiddle-shaped marking on the dorsal side. These spiders

produce a dangerous neurotoxin that destroys tissue.

» Scorpions: These are arachnids with elongated bodies and a narrow segmented tail (often curled) bearing a

venomous stinger at the tip. Scorpions are nocturnal, hiding under objects such as stones or wood during

the day. A lethal species of scorpion is found in this area. Scorpion stings may be similar to a wasp or

hornet, or may cause severe pain.

Snakes

Rattlesnakes are the primary snake of concern at the site. These snakes may or may not rattle before striking.

Biological Vectors in Solid Waste

Disease vectors such as bacteria or viruses associated with solid waste (including medical waste such as syringes)

may be present near the surface in isolated locations. Solid wastes are buried below a soil cover with a typical

thickness of approximately 18 inches. In some cases, solid waste may be exposed at the surface (in which case

sampling will not be performed at that location) or buried slightly below the ground surface (sample locations will

be moved upon discovering shallow buried wastes). These wastes may present not only a biological hazard but also

a physical hazard of skin cuts or punctures. Sampling personnel should make every effort to avoid contact with any

solid waste observed during soil sampling tasks.

4.4 Physical Hazards

The physical hazards that may be encountered during the field activities include hazards associated with existing

objects and terrain, and environmental exposure.


Existing Objects and Terrain

Existing objects and terrain can present hazards in the form of:

• Holes or ditches

• Steep slopes or embankments;

• Unstable soil and loose rocks

• Sharp objects such as building rubble (nails, metal shards, rebar, or broken glass) and medicalwaste (sharps);

• Wet or slippery surfaces

• Dry washes that are subject to flash flooding during heavy rain storms

Because of the absence of overhead obstacles and power lines, these items will not pose a hazard at this site.

Heavy Equipment

A scraper, water truck, and grader are on site for cap maintenance. However, the landfill is closed (no daily

operations of heavy equipment) and no heavy equipment will be utilized in the proximity of sampling operations (all

sampling is by hand; no drill rigs). Therefore, no heavy equipment hazards are expected.

Personal Protective Equipment

Personal protective equipment (PPE) can restrict visibility and movement. This increases the risk of tripping, falling

over, falling into floor openings, striking, or being struck by objects. Personal protective equipment increases the

risk of heat stress and reduces workers' ability to move freely and hear direction and noise that might indicate a

hazard. This potential hazard will be addressed specifically during daily safety discussions. For this project,

restrictive PPE such as respirators, are not anticipated. Hard hats will not be required due to the lack of overhead

obstacles. Work gloves and safety glasses will be worn when digging or chopping soil; either work gloves or nitrile

gloves will be used when collecting and homogenizing samples.

Environmental Exposure

Personnel on the site will be working outdoors and in the direct sunlight. The hazard of non-ionizing radiation

(ultra-violet (UV) and near UV energy in the sun's electromagnetic spectrum) will be a factor due to constant UV

exposure. The hazard is that of both acute and chronic exposure. The human skin may absorb enough radiant energy

on an acute basis to sustain physiological damage in the form of sunburn (typically first and second degree burns)

ranging from primary inflammation to blistering. A second degree burn paves the way for open wounds to occur which


poses the additional risk of infection and increased susceptibility to chemical exposure on a hazardous waste site.

Chronic overexposure to the sun's UV energy has been implicated in the development of skin tumors and malignant

melanomas. Exposures to the sun's harmful radiant energy may be reduced through the use of sunscreen

pharmaceutical preparations both on and off the job. Fieldwork will be conducted when weather conditions are

variable and site personnel may be subject to low or high air temperatures, rain, and winds, hi these conditions, field

teams must be prepared to wear proper protective clothing and to recognize symptoms of cold stress. Cold stress can

be manifested as hypothermia:

• Hypothermia, a cold-induced decrease in the core body temperature, can decrease attentiveness and manualdexterity. Hypothermia produces shivering, numbness, drowsiness, muscular weakness, and, if severeenough, death.

Treatment: A victim of hypothermia should be taken indoors quickly. Provide rapid but gentlerewarming. Remove wet/cold garments and provide warm dry clothing or covering. Dry the personthoroughly. If the victim reacts and is conscious, provide a hot drink. It may be necessary to wrap thevictim with warm water bottles, or persons in blankets, or a sleeping bag. Call on medical care at once.

As a general rule, field activities are curtailed if equivalent chill temp. (°F), defined in Table 4-2, is below zero (0°F).

The SSC will monitor work conditions and implement the following procedures when workplace conditions that may

lead to potential cold-induced illnesses and injuries exist:

• Encourage workers to wear proper clothing for cold, wet and windy conditions;

• Workers should be instructed to layer clothing to adjust to changing environmentaltemperatures. Hats and gloves, in addition to underwear that will keep water away from the skinshould be worn;

• Workers should take frequent short breaks in warm dry shelters to allow the body to warm up;

• If feasible, work should be scheduled for the warmest part of the day;

• Workers should avoid exhaustion or fatigue because energy is needed to keep muscles warm;

• Workers should drink warm, sweet beverages (sugar water, sports-type drinks) and avoid drinkswith caffeine (coffee, tea, sodas or hot chocolate) or alcohol; and

• Workers should be encouraged to eat warm, high-calorie foods such as hot pasta dishes.

When ambient temperatures are above 75° F, and personnel are wearing protective clothing, measures will be taken to

avoid heat stress. Prevention techniques include: a work-rest regimen to limit the protective clothing wearing time in

between rest periods; frequent fluid replenishment; training in symptoms and prevention of heat stress; provisions for

seated shaded rest areas. A beverage break is required every 2 hours when temperatures exceed 75° F, every 1-1/2 hour

above 80° F, every 1 hour above 85° F, and every 1/2 hour above 90° F. Work at temperatures above 95° F should be

avoided by planning the work schedule to avoid mid-afternoon periods of the day.

hi the event of rain, or other inclement weather conditions, the SSC will assess conditions onsite to determine if field

operations can proceed safely. If it is determined that the weather poses a significant hazard, site operations will be

stopped and rescheduled. Items to be considered concerning the reinitiating of work are:


• Treacherous weather-related working conditions;

• Limited visibility;

• Potential for electrical storms;

• Tornado watch or warning.

have completed the annual 8-hour HAZWOPER refresher training within the past twelve months. Managers and

supervisors directly responsible for site activities must complete an 8-hour HAZWOPER Supervisor training course in

addition to the above listed courses. Training certificates for all personnel, including SAIC subcontractors, performing

site activities must be maintained in the project file on site. See Section 8 (RECORDKEEPING) for additional details.

hi addition, a safety meeting "tailgate briefing" conducted by the site safety officer shall be held onsite prior to each days

activities to reiterate the health and safety requirements or to inform site personnel of upcoming operations and safety

requirements.

5.2 Personal Protective Equipment

Modified Level D protection will be used at all times by personnel engaged in sampling soils or sediment. The

modified Level D protection scheme consists of the following protective equipment:

• Protective pants (e.g., jeans) and long-sleeve shirt, if required, when open environmental

samples or contaminated equipment are handled and during equipment decontamination

(chemical-resistant coveralls such s Dupont Tyvek® suits will be substituted if site conditions

suggest chemical contamination may be present (staining or discoloration of soils or odors);

• Work gloves when environmental samples or contaminated equipment are handled; if

chemical contamination is suspected, chemical resistant gloves (disposable vinyl surgical, or

Nitrile or Neoprene outer gloves) will be substituted;

• Safety or chemical-resistant boots (personal work boots); and

• Safety glasses during digging and chopping operations to collect samples and during sample

homogenization.

It is expected that modified Level D protection will be adequate for all field activities conducted for this project.

The use of Level C protection is not authorized by this plan. If the SSC determines that Level D is insufficient

per the requirements in this section, the field team will withdraw from the site and a revised HASP will be prepared.

A full complement of spare protective equipment will be kept at the site so that damaged or malfunctioning

equipment can be replaced immediately.

5.3 Emergency Equipment

In spite of safety and health training, the use of appropriate protective equipment, and exercise of due caution by

members of the site teams, the possibility exists for injury and illness in the field. In order to provide emergency

assistance to sick or injured workers, the following supplies and equipment will be available on site:


• Potable water or Gatorade with ice (one to two gallons per person);

• First aid kit containing supplies for initial treatment of minor cuts and abrasions, severelacerations, shock, heat stress, eye injuries, skin irritation, thermal and chemical burns, snakeand insect bites, and immobilization of fractures; and

• Cellular phones or other authorized means of communication to summon assistance.

5.4 Medical Surveillance

SAIC employees who perform field activities at hazardous waste sites must participate in SAIC's medical

surveillance program. This program is described in Chapter 12 of the SAIC EC & HS Manual. Personnel

performing site work must have received a medical baseline or follow-up examination within the past 12 months

(unless 2-year monitoring is prescribed by the responsible physician). A physician's statement declaring that each

SAIC field team member is medically qualified to perform hazardous waste related activities must be kept on file

(see recordkeeping requirements).

5.5 Monitoring and Sampling Plan

The SSC will monitor work conditions to determine whether conditions that might lead to cold or heat-induced illnesses

or injuries. If these conditions exist, the procedures in section 4.4 - Environmental Conditions will be followed. The site

operator will conduct air monitoring for methane and hydrogen sulfide as described in the following sections (See Table

5-1 Air Monitoring Requirements). Monitoring will include:

• Hydrogen Sulfide gas monitoring with an H2S Meter.

• Flammable/Explosive atmosphere monitoring with an Combustible Gas/O2 Meter

The SSC will ensure that the site operator conducts daily background hydrogen sulfide and methane levels

in the worker breathing zone for each of the sampling locations. If chemical concentrations detected during

the background air monitoring exceed the action level the team will withdraw from the work area and the

SSC will determine whether field activities will be terminated and a further evaluation of the work area is

necessary.

5.6 Site Control Measures

SAIC team members will not work alone during the performance of any sampling or decontamination activity, and a

cellular phone or other means of communication will be available on site to summon emergency assistance. Other site

control measures include the following:

• Setting up a work zone, as required, around sampling activities to prevent the entry ofunauthorized persons (no formal exclusion zone will be required because surface soils andsamples are not expected to be contaminated)

• Site-specific safety training will be accomplished during a site orientation and review of theHASP conducted by the SSC.

• Emergency phone numbers (Provided in Appendix C) for the ambulance service, nearestmedical clinic/hospital, along with the quickest traveling route to the hospital shall beavailable to field staff while in the field.

• A tailgate safety meeting will be conducted at the beginning of each shift, whenever newpersonnel arrive at the job site, as site conditions change, or when deemed necessary. Theywill be conducted by the SSC to discuss pertinent site safety topics.

• The SSC will ensure that appropriate PPE is available and used as described in Section 4 ofthis HASP.

• SAIC will emphasize compliance with state, local, and motor vehicle laws and regulations aspart of each daily safety briefing. Special considerations such as current or anticipatedhazardous road conditions and weather will be addressed.

3/28/2005

5.7 Decontamination Plan

Decontamination procedures are necessary to protect field personnel and control the spread of contamination by

either personnel or equipment.

Because the site is covered with clean soil, it is not expected that personnel or equipment performing investigative

activities on this site will become contaminated to concentrations considered hazardous. However, to ensure that

potential contaminants are not carried offsite, the following decontamination procedures shall be implemented.

Modified Level D Decontamination

Sample collection and homogenization tasks at the site will be conducted in modified Level D protection. Personnel

decontamination, is not required prior to crossing the designated entry/exit point of the work zone. However, upon

exiting from the work zone, personnel will remove work (or chemical resistant) gloves and wash their hands with

soap and water. This will entail removal in an "inside out" manner. At the conclusion of work, all protective

equipment will be placed in plastic bags for proper disposal or transfer off site;

Equipment Decontamination

Any residual soil left on equipment will be physically scraped or rinsed with potable water back;; water will be allowed

to flow to the soil surface. This decontamination water is not to remove contaminants; rather, it will remove soil

particles so that soil samples with different mineral/chemical consistency (e.g., carbonate or sulfate content) will not be

cross-contaminated. The volume of decontamination water will be minimized and any resulting water will be used to

compact soil used to fill sample holes. No hazardous wastes will be generated.

5.8 Sanitation

Sanitary toilet facilities are available at the site. Potable water will be provided on the site for all field personnel in a

location to be determined.

5.9 Confined Space Entry Plan

There will be no confined space entry requirements during this project. SAIC personnel are not authorized to

conduct any confined space entries.


5.10 Enforcement of the Site Specific Health and Safety Plan

5.10.1 Inspections

The SSC is responsible for ensuring that the HASP is being effectively implemented. The SSC will document the

following, at a minimum:

• Verification that all SAIC field personnel are in compliance with OSHA regulations forhazardous waste site work;

• Verification that appropriate PPE is being properly used; and

• Documentation of any deficiencies and actions taken to correct the deficiencies.

5.10.2 Audits

No audits by SAIC are planned. If an independent inspection is conducted by a regulatory agency while SAIC is on

site, SAIC personnel should follow the instructions in SAIC EC&HS Procedure 24 - Regulatory Agency Inspections

and Incident Reporting.

5.10.3 Project Debriefing

If an audit does occur, the project manager will conduct a debriefing with SAIC site personnel to identify any

problems that may have arisen during the inspection. This briefing will include any deviations from the HASP,

reasons for the changes, and potential risk to site personnel. A summary of the debriefing will be provided in

writing to the Project Health and Safety Officer, Mr. Fernando Padilla.

The debriefing will be prepared by the SSC by completing the Hazardous Waste Site Task/Project Debriefing

Questionnaire (Appendix D) and be reviewed by the Work Assignment Manager within 30 days of the date of the

last activity at the site.

5.10.4 Health and Safety Plan Amendments

It is not anticipated that this Health and Safety Plan will require changes. If field conditions are different than

anticipated or other conditions change, the SSC may amend this plan by completing a Field Change Request Form,

included in Appendix E.


6.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE

6.1 Site Emergency Response

The types of emergencies that could occur include the following:

• Injuries from slips, trips, or falls;

• Insect, arachnid, or snake bites;

• Motor vehicle-related accidents or injuries; and

• Eye injuries from soil particles during sampling and homogenization.

It is the objective of this HASP to minimize chemical and physical hazards and operational incidents. The following

information is provided to ensure that personnel respond to an emergency situation in a calm, reasonable manner. A

cell phone should accompany the field crew while operating to summon help in the event of an emergency. At

least one CPR/First Aid trained individual will be with the field team at all times. If an emergency medical

response is required, the emergency contact will be ambulance service via 911. For basic and non-emergency

medical treatment, the local hospital will be utilized. Use of the Columbia Sunrise Hospital will allow for 24hr

medical coverage. In the event of an emergency, the SSC must account for all Project personnel.

Figure 6-1 is a public road map accompanied by written directions for the quickest route from the Columbia Sunrise

Hospital. Figure 6-2 is a detailed city street map in the vicinity of the hospital.

If paramedics are needed, call 911. Give emergency contact your name, nature of the emergency (heart attack,

struck by vehicle, etc.), your location, and then stay in communication. The following information should be

reviewed:

• The SSC is the lead in all emergency situations;

• A full medical facility, with 24 hour emergency staff, is located relatively close to both sites;

• A fully stocked first-aid kit will be available on site for immediate assistance;

• An adequate supply of fresh potable water and portable emergency eye wash will be availableat each work site;

• Site personnel will be trained in emergency procedures during site orientation;

• Evacuation routes from each sampling site will be established by the SSC, and communicatedto all field personnel during the Tailgate Safety Meeting before initiating work;


The SSC is responsible for ensuring that all SAIC personnel understand site-specific emergency signals/ procedures

6.2 Personnel Injury

General first-aid procedures are included in this section. General first aid procedures include.

• Skin Contact—Use copious amounts of soap and water Rinse the affected area for at least 15minutes, then provide appropriate medical attention Eyes should be rinsed for a minimum of15 minutes upon chemical contamination.

• Inhalation—Move to fresh air and, if necessary, decontaminate, and transport to the hospital

• Physical Trauma, Puncture Wound, or Laceration—Stop the bleeding, stabilize, treat forshock, and transport to emergency medical facility.

• Insect/Arachnid Bite - If possible, identify the insect/arachnid/snake Contact Poison Controland follow provided instructions.


3/28/2005

In the event of an injury, the victim should be stabilized and provided onsite first aid in the "clean zone." No

decontamination will be required. If an injury involves a potential trauma to the spinal cord, the victim shall remain

where injured, if safely possible, and be moved by trained emergency medical technicians only. Minor injuries such as

small lacerations, cuts, and strains shall be initially treated onsite by a first aid qualified member of the field team.

Ambulance and hospital support shall be provided for all major injuries, such as head wounds, broken bones, and deep

lacerations.

• Alert emergency and offsite medical personnel to potential contamination; instruct them in specificdecontamination procedures, if necessary; and

• Send along site personnel familiar with the incident.

First aid and CPR is considered to be a collateral duty, not a primary assignment. In the event an injury occurs and an

individual rendering first aid is exposed to blood or other potentially infectious materials, the person(s) exposed must

be provided with follow-up medical surveillance in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.1030(f)(l).

6.3 Telephone Contact Reference List

In many cases, communications will not be readily accessible in the field, hi an emergency situation, an individual will

be immediately dispatched to contact appropriate emergency response individuals by telephone. If a life threatening

injury precludes decontamination of a contaminated individual, the Emergency Response personnel or Fire Department

will be contacted immediately by telephone. First aid will be performed if it does not endanger the safety of the

individual administering first aid.

A vehicle will be available on site during all activities to transport injured personnel to the identified emergency medical

facilities. Additional safety provisions will be made as follows:

• The field team should be equipped with a cellular phone or radio to assist in summoning assistance;

• Telephone numbers of the emergency room facilities and their locations will readily available at thesite (including the fastest routes to the emergency facilities);

• The SSC or a designated alternate will be the lead in all emergency situations;

• A first-aid kit will be available at the site. An adequate supply of fresh water and portable emergencyeyewash will be available at each work site;

• Evacuation routes from each specific sampling area will be established by the SSC, andcommunicated to all personnel during the tailgate safety meeting conducted before each work shift.

Appendix C provides a list of the emergency/reference numbers to be used during the sampling at the site.


6.4 Changes In Anticipated Conditions

If unanticipated conditions occur (e.g., encounters with hazardous waste materials/toxic substances), SAIC

personnel will immediately evacuate the area. A reevaluation of site conditions will be conducted by the SSC.

Required changes should be noted on the Field Change Form (Appendix E) and sent to the EC&HS Officer.

Appropriate modifications will be incorporated into the plan before resuming work.

6.5 Accident Reporting

Accidents/Incidents must be reported as soon as possible, but not later than 2 hours after the occurrence and reported

in writing within 1 day of occurrence on the form in Appendix B. All injuries will be reported to the SAIC EC&HS

Officer regardless of whether the incident appears to be serious or not. Likewise, any exposure will be reported

even though there may be no adverse health effects or symptoms initially apparent. Exposure to a toxic agent may

often have delayed or latent effects which can only be detected by specific diagnostic tests. Documentation of an

exposure may aid in identifying the cause of symptoms or changes in health status indicators (e.g., diagnostic blood

tests or pulmonary functions) at a later time. Similarly, physical injuries (e.g., an eye injury caused by dust particles

or solvents) may also result in delayed damage to the eye.

All accidents and/or injuries shall be immediately reported to the SSC. An accident report and, if necessary, an exposure

report will be initiated by the SSC and provided to the Program Safety Officer for processing. An accident reporting

form is provided in Appendix B.

The field report will be reviewed and signed by the SSC and forwarded to the SAIC EC&HS Officer for review. In

addition, the person in charge during the incident will prepare a written report on the actions taken during the

incident and follow-up. The reports will be submitted using the Hazardous Waste Site Task/Project Debriefing

Questionnaire (Appendix D) to the SAIC EC&HS Officer. The SAIC EC&HS Officer will determine the need for

further follow-up actions.

7.0 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL RELEASE

The scope of this task does not pose a credible risk of a hazardous material release. None of the tasks constitute a

credible release potential above any of the reportable quantities for vehicle fuels, lubricants, or coolants. Arrangements

for containment and disposal of any investigation-derived wastes (e.g., personal protective equipment, unused

soil/sediment fractions, etc) will be coordinated through the EPA representative on-site. No hazardous wastes will be

generated.


8.0 RECORDKEEPING

Record keeping requirements for health and safety are discussed in Chapter 20 of the SAIC Environmental

Compliance and Health and Safety Manual. A list of records that should be maintained for this project is provided
