# Section 1 Introduction

This Work Plan (WP) describes the work procedures and methods that will be implemented and adhered to during the Long-Term Monitoring (LTM) at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility, Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i, herein after refe rred to as RHSF (Figure 1-1). The LTM will include quarterly groundwater sampling, monthl y soil vapor monitoring, and monthly fuel product monitoring at existing groundwater mon itoring wells and soil vapor monitoring points (SVMPs) to evaluate the presen ce and magnitude of chemicals of potential concern (COPCs).

This WP has been prepared by Environet for Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC)
Hawai‘i under Contract Numb er N62742-08-D-1930, Contract Ta sk Order HC14. This WP updates the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Final Work Plan Addendum, Pearl Harbor,

Hawai‘i , dated May 2006.



## 1.1 Project Scope and Objective

The objective of this project is to perform continued LTM to evaluate petroleum–related contamination in soil and groundw ater at the RHSF. A total of four quarterly groundwater monitoring events and twelve monthly soil vapo r and fuel product monitoring events will be performed starting in September 2010 and ending in August 2011. The LTM data will be used as a basis for decision making at the RHSF.



## 1.2 Location and Setting

The RHSF is located on the island of O‘ahu, Hawa i‘i, approximately 2.5 miles northeast of Pearl
Harbor in H ā lawa Heights (Figure 1-1). The RHSF lies along the western edge of the Ko‘olau Range and is situated on a low ridge that divides the H ā lawa Valley and the Moanalua Valley. Land adjacent to the north of the RHSF is occupied by H ā lawa Correctional Facility and private
businesses. Land to the south and west of the fa cility includes the Coast Guard Reservation and other residential neighborhoods. Moanalua Valley is located to the east of the facility. The Salt
Lake volcanic crater is located south of the facility. RHSF occupi es approximately 144 acres of land. The majority of the surface topography of RH SF lies at an elevation of approximately 200 to 500 feet above mean sea level (msl). Howeve r, much of the work conducted onsite will be in underground tunnels, which are lo cated between 100 to 120 feet above msl. The RHSF consists of 18 active and two inactive underground storag e tanks (USTs) operated by Department of Navy (DoN) Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (F ISC) Pearl Harbor. Each UST has a capacity of approximately 12.5 million gallons (Table 1-1) . The UST facility is located approximately 100 feet above the basal aquifer.

Current zoning information obtained from the City and County of Honol ulu’s Department of Planning and Permitting indicates that the RHSF is located on federal government land, (zoned F1 – Military and Federal) with public land ad jacent to the north and northeast. A high cliff (approximately 100 to 200 feet elevation differen ce) in the public land area separates the RHSF
from a mixed industrial area and a residential area containing the H ā lawa Correctional Facility.Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Introduction September 2010

1-2 A quarry is located further to the northwest in an agricultural zone. The H-3 Freeway is located northwest of the quarry.

A total of seven groundwater moni toring wells are includ ed in the current monitoring program (Figure 1-2). Five groundwater monitoring well s are located within RHSF (Red Hill monitoring well (RHMW)01, RHMW02, RHMW03, RHMW05, and RHMW2254-01) and two groundwater monitoring wells are located outside the RH SF Oily Waste Disposal Facility monitoring well(OWDFMW)01) and (H ā lawa Deep monitoring well (HDMW)2253-03. The following is a summary of the location of the wells:

 Four groundwater monitoring wells (RHM W01, RHMW02, RHMW03, and RHMW05)
are located inside the unde rground tunnels at the RHFS.

 Groundwater monitoring well RHMW2254-01 is locat ed inside the infiltration gallery of United States (U.S.) Navy well 2254-01. The U.S. Navy Well 2254-01 is located approximately 3,000 feet down-gradient (west) of the USTs and provides approximately 24 percent of the potable water to the Pearl Harbor System, which serves approximately 52,200 military consumers. The Navy Public Works Department operates a potable water infiltration tunnel approximately 1,550 feet hydraulically down-gradient from the

USTs.

 Groundwater monitoring well OWDFMW01 is located southeast of the Oily Waste Disposal Facility (OWDF) in the west ern most corner of RHSF property boundary.

 Groundwater monitoring well HDMW2253-03 is located inside th e boundaries of the

H ā lawa Correctional Facility property, north of H ā lawa Stream. The groundwater monitoring well is located between the RH SF and the municipal drinking water supply well run by the City and County of Honolulu Board of Water Supply H ā lawa Shaft pumping station. Special permission is re quired from the administration at the H ā lawa Correctional Facility for access to gr oundwater monitoring well HDMW2253-03. The groundwater monitoring well is controlled by the State of Hawai‘i Commission on Water Resource Management and special permission is also required from Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) to acce ss this groundwater monitoring well.Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Introduction September 2010

## 1.3 Site Background

The RHSF was constructed by the U.S. governme nt in the early 1940s and includes 20 USTs, each with a capacity of approxima tely 12.5 million gallons and a seri es of system tunnels. The tanks are constructed of steel and currently contai n jet fuel propellant (JP-5 and JP-8) and marine diesel fuel (F-76). Previously, several of the tank s have also been used to store Navy special fuel oil, Navy distillate, aviation gasoline and motor gasoline. The fueling system is a self-contained underground unit that was installe d into native rock comprised pr imarily of basalt with some
inter-bedded tuffs and breccias. Each tank meas ures approximately 245 feet in height and 100 feet in diameter. The upper domes of the tanks lie at depths varying be tween approximately 100
feet and 200 feet below the exis ting ground surface. The tanks ar e currently bei ng inspected and repaired by Willbros Government Services.



### 1.3.1 Previous Environmental Activities

This section provides a description of the pertinent environmen tal activities conducted at RHSF since the facility was declassified (in the late 1990's), up to April 2010.

1998: Groundwater monitoring well OWDFMW01(orig inally MW08) was installed in 1998 for a Phase II Remedial Investigation/Feasibility Study (RI/FS) for the OWDF (Earth Tech Inc., 1999).

2001 : In February 2001, the Navy installed gro undwater monitoring well RHMW01 to monitor for contamination of the basal aquifer underlyi ng the RHSF. This groundwater monitoring well was installed and completed at approximately 100 feet below grade with in the lower access tunnel. At the time of well completion, dept h to water in groundwater monitoring well
RHMW01 was measured at 86 feet below grade (The Environmental Company Inc. [TEC], 2009). Groundwater samples collected from RHMW01 in February 2001 contained total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) concentrati ons ranging from 883 micrograms per liter (  g/L) to 1,050  g/L and total lead ranging from 10.4  g/L to 15  g/L. The maximum total lead concentration in the samples was equal to the primary drinking water standard of 15  g/L for lead and exceeded the Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH) groundwater Tier 1 Environmental Action Level (EAL) of 5.6  g/L (TEC, 2009).

2005 : The Navy began quarterly groundwater monitoring at tw o existing monitoring wells (RHMW01 and RHMW2254-01) in February 2005. Samples collected in February and June
2005 were not filtered in the field prior to analysis for lead. Analytical results for samples collected from groundwater monitoring well RHMW 01 indicated concentra tions of total lead

were above the DOH EAL of 5.6  g/L. The results were not c onsidered appropriate for risk evaluation since the samples had not been filter ed. In addition, lead was not a component of fuels from the tanks near groundwater monitoring well RHMW01. Lead may have been part of
the RHSF construction material.

TEC installed three groundwater monitoring well s at RHSF between June and September 2005. Monitoring wells (RHMW02 and RHMW03) were installed within the RHSF UST system. Monitoring well RHMW04 was installed hydrauli cally upgradient of the USTs to provideDraft Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Introduction September 2010

1-10 geochemistry for water moving through the basal aquifer beneath the RH SF. Monitoring wells RHMW02 and RHMW03 were completed to depths of approximately 125 feet below the tunnel floor, and well RHMW04 was comp leted to a depth of approxi mately 300 feet below ground surface outside the tunnel. Groundwater samples we re collected from the three newly installed wells and two existing wells (RHMW01 and RHMW2254-01) in September 2005. Naphthalene and trichloroethylene were detected in samp les collected from RHMW02 at concentrations
above the DOH EALs.

2006: Dedicated sampling pumps were insta lled in five wells (RHMW01, RHMW02, RHMW03, RHMW04, and RHMW2254- 01). TEC collected groundwater samples from the five groundwater monitoring wells in July 2006. The groundwater samples were analyzed for petroleum constituents. Naphthalene was detected in samples collected from RHMW02 at
concentrations above the DOH EALs.

In September 2006, with concurrence from the DOH, the Navy decided to use the newer DOH EALs for the Red Hill Site Investigation and Risk Assessment project. Since a DOH Policy
Letter stated that th e two sets of action levels should not be mixed, the Tier 1 screening levels presented in Hawai‘i Administrative Record (HAR) Section 11-281-78 would no longer be used to evaluate environmental impact at RHSF (TEC, 2009).

In December 2006, groundwater samples were collected from the five existing monitoring wells. The groundwater samples were analyzed for pe troleum constituents. TPH as diesel range organics (TPH-DRO) was detected in groundwater samples at a concentration above the DOH Drinking Water EAL in monitoring well RHMW01. TPH gasoline range or ganics (TPH-GRO), TPH-DRO, and naphthalene were detected in groundwater samples at concentrations above the DOH Drinking Water EALs in monitoring well RHMW02.

2007: Groundwater samples were collected in March, June, and September 2007. TPH-DRO was detected in groundwater samples at concen trations above the DOH Drinking Water EALs in RHMW01 during all three sampling events. TP H-GRO exceeded DOH Drinking Water EAL in March; TPH-DRO and naphthalene exceeded DOH Drinking Water EALs during all three monitoring events; and 1-methylnaphthalene and 2-methylnaphthalene exceeded the DOH Groundwater Gross Contamination EAL during a ll three sampling even ts in RHMW02. TPHDRO exceeded DOH Drinking Water EALs at RHMW03 in June.

2008: In a response to increasing concentrations of COPCs at groundwater monitoring wells within RHSF (specifically monitoring well RH MW02), quarterly sampling commenced at the outside monitoring wells HDMW2253-03 and OWDFMW01.

Groundwater samples were collected in January, April, July, and October 2008. Analytical results indicated the following:

 petroleum constituents were not det ected above DOH Drinking Water EALs at RHMW2254-01;

 trace detections of 1-methylnaphthalene and naphthalene prompted a resample event in December at RHMW2254-01, no chemicals were detected above the method detection limit (MDL);Draft Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Introduction September 2010

1-11  TPH-DRO exceeded DOH Drinking Water EALs at RHMW01 during all four sampling
events;

 TPH-GRO did not exceed DOH Dri nking Water EALs at RHMW02;

 TPH-DRO, naphthalene, 1-me thylnaphthalene, and 2-methylnaphthalene exceeded DOH Drinking Water EALs at RHMW02; and

 TPH-DRO exceeded DOH Drinking Water EALs at RHMW03 during all four sampling

events.

2009 – 2010: In April 2009, a new groundwater monitori ng well, RHMW05, was installed by TEC. RHMW05 is located downgradient from the USTs, within the lower access tunnel
between RHMW01 and RHMW2254-01. It was insta lled to identify the extent of contaminant migration downgradient prior to contaminants r eaching the infiltration gallery at the U.S. Navy Well 2254-01 (RHMW2254-01). Groundwater samples were collected in February, May, July, and October 2009. Analytical re sults indicated the following:

 petroleum constituents have not been dete cted above DOH Drinking Water EALs at RHMW2254-01, OWDFMW01, RHMW04, and HDMW2253-03;

 trace TPH-GRO at RHMW2254-01 was detect ed above the labo ratory MDL and significantly below the laboratory reporting limit and DOH EAL, in February and May 2009;

 TPH-DRO at OWDFMW01 wa s detected at 1,490 μ g/L, exceeding the DOH
Groundwater Gross Contamination EA L and Drinking Water EAL (i.e., 100 μ g/L and

210 μ g/L, respectively). No other COPC was detected above the laboratory MDLs in OWDFMW01 (TEC 2010b).

 TPH-DRO exceeded DOH Drinking Water EALs at RHMW01 and at RHMW02 during all four sampling events;

 TPH-GRO did not exceed DOH Dri nking Water EALs at RHMW02;

 Naphthalene, 1-methylnaphthalene, and 2-me thylnaphthalene exce eded DOH Drinking Water EALs at RHMW02 in February 2009, however only 1-methylnaphthalene exceeded the DOH Drinking Water EALs in May and July 2009. Only naphthalene exceeded the DOH EALs at RHMW02 in October 2009;

 TPH-DRO exceeded DOH Drinking Water EALs at RHMW03 in February, but not in May, July or October 2009.

 TPH-DRO exceeded DOH Drinking Water EALs at RHMW05 during the July 2009 and October 2009 sampling events.



## 1.4 Regulatory Requirements

This LTM will be completed in accordance with applicable federal regulations, including the
Resource Conservation and Re covery Act (RCRA), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCL A), and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) describing Occu pational Safety and Health Sta ndards. Based on the current knowledge of the site, the State an d Federal regulatory requirements that apply to RHSF include the following:

 Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and Nati onal Primary Drinking Water Act (NPDW); the NPDW regulations within 40 CFR Part 141 implement the provisions of the SDWA.Draft Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Introduction September 2010

1-12 They establish maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for various s ubstances in potable

water.

 Hawai‘i rules relating to the potable wate r systems (HPWS) – The DOH HPWS (HAR Title 11, Chapter 20) set forth MCLs of certa in chemicals in public and private drinking water systems. These MCLs are analogous to the NPDW regulations.

 State of Hawai‘i UST Regula tions– established in 1979 and amended with the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of 19 84 established a comprehensive regulatory program for USTs. The State of Hawai‘i a dopted its own UST statutes and regulations (Hawai‘i Revised Statutes, Title 19, Ch apter 342L and HAR, Title 11, Chapter 281, Subchapters 1 through 10) to implement these la ws in Hawai‘i . Owners and operators of USTs that contain regulated substances such as petroleum are required to take specific actions when investigating releases from th eir USTs. Regulations and requirements are explained in detail in the Technical Gu idance Manual for Underground Storage Tank Closure and Release Response (DOH, 2000).

# Section 3 Sampling and Analysis Plan

This section provides a detailed description of the sampling activities and analysis plan for the
LTM at the RHSF.



## 3.1 Groundwater Sampling and Analysis

Quarterly groundwater sampling and analysis w ill be conducted at five existing groundwater monitoring wells inside the RHSF (RHMW01, RHMW02, RHMW03, RHMW05, and RHMW2254-01) and two monitoring wells loca ted outside of the RHSF (HDMW 2253-03 and OWDFMW01) (Figure 1-2). The following s ections describe the groundwater sampling procedures that will be utilize d. Groundwater sample collection will be conducted in accordance with Procedure I-C-3, Monitoring Well Sampling (DON, 2007).



### 3.1.1 Purging

Prior to purging, depth to groundwat er will be measured using a Solinst 122 oil/water interface probe before any water is removed. To prev ent possible cross contamination of wells, water level measurement devices will be decontaminated prior to use at each well. The depth to standing water and the total depth of the well will be measured to the nearest 0.01 foot.

Prior to sample collection, the monitoring wells will be purged to remove standing water in the well casing, which may not be representative of the aquifer water quality. Purging will be accomplished by removing water from the well us ing a dedicated bladder pump. Purging will require a source of compressed air for all m onitoring wells except HDMW2253-03 which has no dedicated pump. Disposable bailers will be us ed at HDMW2253-03. Inside of the RHSF tunnel, a compressed air supply line is usually availabl e and will be used. A QED MP50 MicroPurge
Basics Controller © box for the dedicated pumps will be c onnected to the compressed air system with an in-line filter and water trap. Outside of the RHSF, and if comp ressed air is unavailable inside the RHSF, a 200 standard cubic feet compressed gas cylinder containing clean dry nitrogen or carbon dioxide or a gas powered ai r compressor will be used. The compressed gas pressure will be reduced to 125 pounds per square inch, by use of a regulator with high and low pressure gauges attached to the cylinder. Purg ing will be conducted at a low flow rate of less than one liter per minute. Purge water collected from within the tunnels will be placed directly into the sump pit system near the Tank 17 and 18 bulkhead, that leads to the FISC oil/water separator and associated disposal tanks or placed in a 55-gallon drum for temporary storage. Outside of the tunnels, purge water will be place d in a 55-gallon drum for temporary storage.

Water quality parameters will be measured on a regular basis during well purging, including: hydrogen activity (pH), temperature, conductiv ity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and oxidation reduction potential. At least four to six readings will be taken during the purging process. The water quality parameters will be evaluated to demonstrate that the natural characteristics of the aquifer formation waters are present within the monitoring well prior to sample collection. Purging will be considered complete when at le ast three consecutive water quality measurementsWork Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Sampling and Analysis Plan September 2010

3-2 stabilize within approximately ten percent. All information obtained during purging and sampling will be entered into a groundwater sampling log (Appendix B).



### 3.1.2 Sample Collection

After purging is complete, groundwater samples will be collected using the same dedicated bladder pump system with the exception of the HDMW2253-03 which will be sampled using disposable bailers. A period of no more than two hours wi ll elapse between purging and sampling to prevent groundwater interaction with the casing a nd atmosphere. The water level within the monitoring wells will be measured and recorded prior to sampling to ensure that drawdown has not occurred. Groundwater sampling will be conducted at a low flow rate of less than one liter per minute. Dissolved lead samples w ill be filtered in the field using a 0.45 micron
sized filter.



### 3.1.3 Sample Analysis

Groundwater samples will be analyzed for COPCs listed in Table 3-1.

### 3.1.5 Sample Containers

Sample containers will be provided by the subcont ract laboratory. All sample bottles shall be new and clean for each analysis and shall be pre- preserved, if necessary. The laboratory also shall provide coolers (or hazardous cargo shipping containers) and appropriate packing materials suitable for shipping environmental samples under USACE and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. Coolers shal l be durable, in good working order, and possess intact handles, latches, and hi nges. Coolers shall be able to accommodate laboratory-supplied sample bottles in an upright position.

Prior to sampling, the FM will inspect all supplie s and consumables to ensure that they are acceptable for use. Required sample container type, volume, preservative, and recommended holding times for each analysis are summarized in Table 3-2. Groundwater samples will be collected according to analytical procedur es in the following order: TPH-GRO and VOCs followed by all other analytes. Once the sample containers are filled, they will be sealed, labeled, placed into individual Ziploc® bags, and pl aced into an insulated cooler filled with ice for preservation. Samples will be packaged an d properly transported within 24 to 48 hours of
collection to the s ubcontract laboratory.

### 3.1.6 Sample Preservation

Samples will be cooled on ice from the time of collection through deliver y to the subcontractor laboratory. At a minimum, all samples will be main tained at 4 oC (± 2 oC). Sample preservation requirements will follow method requirements. Laboratory sample handling procedures are
discussed in the subcontr actor laboratory QA plan.



### 3.1.7 Sample Labeling

Each sample will be assigned both a chain of custody (COC) identification (ID) number and a descriptive ID number in accordance with Procedure I-A-9, Sample Naming (DON, 2007). All sample ID numbers will be recorded in the field logbook maintained by the FM.

COC ID Number

The COC ID number, the only ID number submitted to the analytical laboratory, is used to facilitate data tracking and storage. The COC ID number allows all samples to be submitted to the laboratory without providing information on th e sample type or source. A COC ID number will be assigned to each sample as follows:

ESzzz

where;

E Designating the sampling team’s company (e.g., Environet)

S Designating Storage Facility

zzz Chronological number, starting with 001

QC samples will be in cluded in the chronological sequence.

Descriptive ID Number

A second sample ID number, which is linked to the COC ID number, will be for internal use only and will provide sample-specific inform ation including: the sampling location, type, sequence, matrix, and depth. The descriptive ID number is not revealed to the analytical laboratory.

A descriptive ID number will be assigned to each sample as follows:

RH-MWxx-GWxx

where;

RH designates the associated site location Red Hill

MWxx designates sample MW number (e.g., MW01)

GWxx designates the groundwater sampling event number (e.g., GW01)Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Sampling and Analysis Plan September 2010

### 3.1.8 Sample Handling and Shipping

Samples will be handled in a manner that ensures their integrity and traceability to the sampling location. This will be achieved through the us e of trained field and laboratory personnel; controlled field, transport, and laboratory conditions; and imple mentation of rigorous sample preparation, containerization, preservation, storage, packagi ng, transportation, and custody procedures.

Standard COC protocol will be observed during sa mple collection, management, and shipment to the analytical laboratories. The COC is maintain ed when sample containers or the coolers that are used to preserve the samples are under direct observation by project personnel at all times or under lock and key, with the person having cu stody holding the key at all times. Sample shipments to the analytical labor atories will be accompanied by a COC form. An example of the COC form is shown in Appendix B. The purpose of the COC procedure is to document the possession of the samples from co llection through trans port, storage, and analysis. COC forms will become part of the permanen t project record upon completion of the project. The PM will direct project personnel to maintain custody of samples at all times and be responsible for monitoring compliance with COC procedures. Pr oject personnel will be responsible for the care and custody of the samples until they are transfe rred to another party, shipped to the laboratory, or properly disposed.



## 3.2 Soil Vapor Monitoring

Monthly soil vapor monitoring will be perfor med at 18 SVMPs located at the RHSF. Each SVMP will be monitored at three different depths , one near the top, one near the middle, and one
that is near the bottom of the SVMP. SVMP s will be purged and monitored for VOCs using a PID. This procedure is described in the SO P included in Appendix C. Purging will be accomplished using an electric air pump or co mparable equipment and will occur for five minutes prior to sampling. The flow rate during purging and sampling will be less than 200 milliliters per minute (ml/min).

Monitoring results will consist of field readings collected from a PID probe by field staff. Readings will be recorded in real time and r ecorded on the soil vapor mo nitoring log located in Appendix B.

If the parts per billion by volume (ppbv) leve ls (i.e., 280,000 ppbv for tanks containing jet fuels or 14,000 ppbv for tanks containing diesel) are obse rved during monthly soil vapor monitoring, it is recommended that aggressive and proactive ac tions be taken to assess the integrity of the associated tank system and mitigate as needed for pot ential fuel release(s). If, after an inspection of the tank system it is uncertain whether or not a leak exists, it is recommended that soil vapor samples be taken for laboratory analysis.



### 3.2.1 Monitoring Procedures

Zero calibrate the PID prior to entering the t unnel inside of RHSF using a single use glass VOC zeroing tube and the tube adapter. After calibrati on the plastic filter can be attached. Check theWork Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Sampling and Analysis Plan September 2010

3-6 readings on the PID and if read ings after attaching the plastic filter raise ambient readings significantly, change the filter.

Upon arrival at RHSF, place all equipment next to the well being tested and connect the
extension cord to the 120 volt outlet located on the second st eel post down from each tank (except Tanks 15 and 20). Attach the cord to the pump and open the well cover with the socket and ratchet drive. Ziploc® bags will be in th e well compartment, take them out and place them to the side. Identify the shallow, medium, and deep probes using the reflective tags attached, or the color coded tape (orange is shallow, blue is middle, and white is deep).

Purging

Connect the purge tube to the intake nozzle on the pump and open the valve by making it parallel to the rest of the apparatus. Turn on the pump, purge for five minutes at a rate of less than 200 ml/min while recording purge time and rate in the field logbook. While purging, identify the appropriate Ziploc® with the dedi cated tedlar bag and tygon tubing inside, and take them out of
the SVMP. The colors c oordinate with the tape.

Place the tedlar bag inside the vacuum chamber then attach th e tygon tube to the vacuum chamber (taking the metal ferrals off the tube befo re inserting the nut, th en place them back on again, and attach). Connect the tygon tube to the tedlar bag inside the vacuum chamber then open the bag’s valve no more than one rotation. Take the appropriate tube from inside the vacuum chamber and snap it on the white plas tic tip to the outside of the chamber.

Monitoring

Once purging is complete, turn off the pump and detach the purge tube from the pump then replace it with the open end of th e vacuum chamber. Insert the open end of the tygon tube into the purge tube making sure the bag valve and purge valves are open, and close the vacuum chamber. Start the pump and cover the compressi on hole to fill the tedlar bag. Observe the bag to prevent overfilling. Once the ba g is full open the vacuum chambe r, close the bag’ s valve, then turn off the pump (if air is escaping from the ba g when the lid is open th en try again, however, only partially cover the compression hole to reliev e the pressure in the chamber while vapors are slowly collecting in the tedlar bag). Detach the tedlar bag and reattach it to the PID making sure the PID is in survey mode, open the bag valve and begin testing.

Once numbers begin to appear on the PID screen , take readings every 10 seconds for 30 seconds and record in the field notebook. The average will be taken from the three noted values and the peak from the PID. Place the PID back on su rvey mode. Close the purge valve and begin purging the next probe.

While purging, deflate and close the tedlar bag valv e then return it to the Ziploc® bag. Detach the tygon tube and return it to the Ziploc® ba g. Begin preparations for the next monitoring reading with the appropriate dedi cated tygon tubing and tedlar bags . Continue this process until all points at the location have been tested.

Make sure all valves are closed and bags are defl ated before returning them back into the well compartment. Close all purge valves then secu re the well cover. Unplug the pump and prepareWork Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Sampling and Analysis Plan September 2010

3-7 to move to the next SVMP. Test the PID in the main tunnel between each SVMP, record the background levels (if it reads more than typical background for the day, cha nge the plastic filter).



### 3.2.2 Monitoring Equipment

All non-disposable sampling equipment will be carefully cleaned and inspected prior to the start of sampling, or if stored, clean equipment will be inspected for any signs of contamination. Equipment will be decontaminated following established procedures between sample locations, and after all of the samples have been collect ed. Sampling equipment necessary for soil vapor monitoring include:

 electric pump and extension cord,

 15/16-inch socket and ratchet drive,

 ppbRae Plus © PID,

 10,000 parts per billion (ppb) isobutylene,

 vacuum chamber,

 dedicated field notebook,

 field forms, and

 PPE and flashlight.



## 3.3 Fuel Product Monitoring

Monthly fuel product monitoring will be pe rformed at four wells (RHMW01, RHMW02, RHMW03, and RHMW05) located within the RHSF. A Solinst 122 © oil/water interface probe will be used to detect presence and measure the thickness of light non-aqueous phase liquid (LNAPL) to the nearest 0.01 feet at the wate r surface. Fuel product monitoring will be performed prior to any purging or sampling event. Fuel product measurements will be recorded onto the fuel product monitoring log (Appendix B).



## 3.4 Field Documentation

Field documentation creates a permanent record of field activities and pertinent sample collection information. Only personnel trained in sampling techniques will collect samples. Standard sample collection procedures will be fo llowed. Documentation of field activities will be in accordance with established procedures an d will include field logbooks, sample labels, and
COC forms. Field documentation will follow esta blished procedures. Spatial data will be collected, as needed, using a global positioning system (GPS).Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Sampling and Analysis Plan September 2010

# Section 4 Quality Assurance Project Plan

This Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) is intended to be used in conjunction with the Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) (Section 3) w ith procedures and methods incorporated. The QAPP includes discussions of the following:

 summary of the data quality objectives (DQO) process;

 QA/QC sampling and sample handling procedures;

 laboratory QC;

 field QC;

 analytical data quality review;

 data reporting and documentation;

 oversight and assessment; and

 corrective action.

The PM will be responsible for ensuring that the appropriate project personnel have the most current version of this QAPP.



## 4.1 Summary of the Data Quality Objectives Process

The overall sampling and analysis strategy was developed using the EPA Guidance for Quality Assurance Project Plans, EPA QA/G-5, Qualit y Assurance Management Systems (EPA, 2001).



### 4.1.1 Statement of the Problem

Previous releases from the existing USTs at the RHSF have the potential to impact the underlying freshwater aquifer located approxima tely 100 feet beneath the USTs. LTM of groundwater, soil vapor, and fuel product is requir ed to evaluate the presence and magnitude of UST-related contamination and to generate data for decision making at the site.



### 4.1.2 Identify the Goals of the Study

The following generally stated decisions will be made based on the data gathered during LTM:

 What is the extent and magnitude of UST-related contamination?

 Do the COPC concentrations ex ceed the screening criteria?



### 4.1.3 Identify the Information

The decisions will be made by comparing the gro undwater analytical resu lts with the DOH EALs for sites where groundwater is a current or potential drinking water source and a surface water body is located greater than 150 meters from th e site (DOH, 2009). The Project Action Levels (PALs) are the most conservative of either the drinking water toxicity level or the gross
contamination level and were previously agreed to by the DOH and DoN (Appendix E). In addition, soil vapor concentrations will be compared to the site specific threshold values ofWork Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Quality Assurance Project Plan September 2010

4-2 280,000 in SVMPs beneath USTs containing JP-5 or JP-8 (type of jet propellant) and 14,000 ppbv in SVMPs beneath USTs containing F-76. Th e following is a list of information that will
be used to determine the hazard to human health.

 Analytical data representing grou ndwater from RHMW01, RHMW02, RHMW03, RHMW05, RHMW2254-01, HDMW2253-03, and OWDFMW01,

 Soil vapor monitoring data from 18 SVMPs,

 Fuel product monitoring data from RHMW01, RHMW02, RHMW03, and RHMW05



### 4.1.4 Define the Boundaries of the Study

The monitoring is limited to the groundwater monitoring wells located within the RHSF, two groundwater wells outside the RHSF, and 18 SVMPs located inside the RHSF. These monitoring points were selected due to their close proximity to the contaminant source and their position at the contaminant periphery (downgradie nt and upgradient). Quarterly groundwater sampling events shall be conducted for one year (total of four events commencing October 2010). Monthly soil vapor monitoring shall be conducted for one year (a total of 12 events starting in September 2010). Monthly fuel pr oduct monitoring shall occur at four of the aforementioned wells inside RHSF (a tota l of 12 events commencing September 2010).



### 4.1.5 Develop the Analytical Approach

 If COPC concentrations at a groundwater monitoring location exceed the screening criteria, then the potential risk to groundw ater exposure needs to be evaluated. Conversely, if COPC concentrations in groundw ater do not exceed the screening criteria, then no further evaluation will be required.

 If soil vapor concentrations at a monitoring location exceed the site specific threshold values, then evaluate the potential for UST -related contamination to migrate and impact groundwater. Conversely, if soil vapor concentrati ons do not exceed th e site specific threshold values, then no furt her evaluation will be required.

 If fuel product is identified at a monitoring location, then evaluate the potential risk to groundwater exposure and the need for remedial action. Conversely, if no fuel product is identified, then no further evalua tion or action will be required.



### 4.1.6 Specify Performance Acceptance Criteria

The probability of procedural errors will be c ontrolled through the consistent application of standard sampling and analysis procedur es and sound data quality management.



### 4.1.7 Develop the Plan for Obtaining Data

The sampling locations were chos en based upon previous inves tigations and monitoring. The analytical methods and criteria are presented in subsequent sec tions of this document. Also discussed are field and laboratory QA, data management, and data evaluation.Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Quality Assurance Project Plan September 2010

## 4.2 QA/QC Sampling and Sample Handling Procedures

4.2.1 Sample Collection Method

Collection and handling procedures have been designed to ensure that project personnel will be able to collect, label, preserve, and transport samples in a consistent manner to maintain sample integrity for the intended purposes of this LTM. Field activities will be performed in accordance with the procedures describe d in Section 3 of this WP.



### 4.2.2 Field QC Samples

The field QC samples for this project will c onsist of duplicates, MS/MSDs, and trip blanks.

Duplicates

Field duplicate samples are used to document th e overall precision of the sample collection program. Field duplicate samples will be collected at a minimum rate of 10 percent. Field duplicate samples will be assigned unique identific ation numbers that do not indicate that the sample is a duplicate. All duplicates will be anal yzed for the same parameters as regular project samples.

MS/MSD

Laboratory MS and MSD analysis are used to assess analytical accuracy and precision in response to potential matrix interference. If all of the MS and MSD recoveries are within laboratory specified ranges, then all data is considered to be accurate

Trip Blanks

Trip blanks are used to document contaminati on attributable to shipping and field handling procedures. The trip blanks will be prepared by the analytical laboratories using reagent grade water in 40 ml volatile organic analysis (VOA) vi als. Trip blanks will accompany every cooler from the analytical laboratory to the field and will be handled like project samples, and returned to the laboratory along with project sample shipme nt. The trip blanks will be analyzed for the same parameters as regular project samples.



### 4.2.3 Sample Containers

The groundwater samples for chemical analyses will be placed in the sample containers listed in Table 3-2, preserved as indicate d, and analyzed within the holding times. These containers, preservatives, and holding times are specified in the respective analytical methods. APPL Inc. will supply the required sample containers.



### 4.2.4 Sample Labeling

Each sample will be assigned both an EPA ID number and a descriptive ID number in accordance with the procedures described in Procedure I-A-9, Sample Naming (DON, 2007). All sample ID numbers will be recorded in a sample logbook maintained by the field QA
coordinator. This is covered in section 3.1.7.Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Quality Assurance Project Plan September 2010

4-4 

### 4.2.5 Field Instrument Calibration/Documentation

The following activities and documentation will be performed and maintained for all field equipment requiring periodic calibration.

 Electronic equipment requiring calibration will be calibrated prior to use by those persons directly responsible for the equipm ent, such as the field staff.

 Field equipment will be checked to verify that all of the equipment is calibrated according to the manufacturer’s instructions and is operatin g properly prior to use every day.

 Field equipment that has been dropped, damaged, or is believed to be inaccurate will be tagged as inoperable, removed from servi ce and recalibrated. Fi eld equipment that cannot be repaired or recalibrated will be replaced.

 Documentation pertinent to the calibration and maintenance of field equipment will be maintained in a bound field logbook. Entries made into the log book regarding the status of field equipment will contain, but are not necessarily limited to, the following
information:

 date, time, and calibration readings;

 name of person conducting calibration; and

 type of field equipment being serviced and identification nu mber (e.g., serial number) and reference standard used fo r calibration (e.g., pH of buffer solution).

The field logbook or photocopies of applicable pages will be made a part of the permanent project record upon completion of the project.



## 4.3 Laboratory Requirements

All laboratory activities will be performed in accordance with the DOD Quality Systems Manual for Environmental Laboratories, Version 4 (DOD, 2009). All laboratory submittals will be Naval Installation Restoration Information Solution compatible.



### 4.3.1 Project Analytes

Analytical data will be ge nerated using EPA methodologies published in “Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods SW-846” (EPA, 1996). The following analytical methods will be us ed during this investigation:

 TPH-DRO – EPA Method 8015B;

 TPH-GRO – EPA Method 8260B;

 VOCs – EPA Method 8260B;

 PAHs – EPA 8270C SIM; and

 Dissolved lead – EPA 6020.Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Quality Assurance Project Plan September 2010

4-5 Standard sample preparation and extraction pro cedures for each analytical method will be used by the analytical laboratory.



### 4.3.2 Reporting Limits

Reporting limits are established by the laborator y based on the limits of quantitation (LOQs), historical data, and EPA limits established for the analytical methods employed. The reporting limits for samples may require adjustment due to matrix interference or if high analyte concentrations necessitate sample dilution before analysis. Matrix interference and sample dilutions have the effect of increasing the re porting limits. Failure to meet the specified reporting limits will be described in the sample delivery group case narrative and summarized in the data review reports.

Appendix E lists the analyte DOH EALs along with the respectiv e limits of detection (LODs) and LOQs from APPL, Inc. Laboratories.



## 4.4 Analytical Data Quality Review

Data quality will be assessed by evaluating the accuracy, precision, representativeness, completeness, and comparability parameters.



### 4.4.1 Accuracy

Accuracy is defined as the degree of agreement of a measurement to an accepted reference or true value. When applied to a set of obser ved values or measurements, accuracy will be a combination of random and systematic (bias) erro r. Analytical accuracy will be defined as the percent recovery (%R) of an analyte in a refere nce standard or spiked sample. Accuracy limits for laboratory control samples are established by individual laboratories. The acceptance criteria for accuracy are dependent on the analytical method, and are based on historical laboratory data. Failure to meet the accuracy limits will be descri bed in the sample delive ry group case narrative and summarized in the data review reports.

The percent differences (%Ds) of the continuing calibration is also an indication of accuracy. Sample results are qualified "UJ" for non-detects a nd "J" for detects, if the %D for a continuing calibration is out of the acceptable range, this will be reported by the laboratory in the analytical analysis.



### 4.4.2 Precision

Precision is defined as the agreement betwee n a set of replicate measurements without assumption or regard about the true value. Pr ecision limits for laboratory measurements will be evaluated from the sample/sample duplicate analyses results. Field samp ling precision will be evaluated from field duplicate sample analyses results.

The relative percent difference (RPD) measur ed between two duplicate samples will serve as the quantitative measure of precision. Precision for sampling is evalua ted separately from precision for analytical data. Field co-located samples he lp clarify the distinction between uncertainty due to analytical variability and heterogeneity of th e sample matrix. These field duplicates are colocated samples that are collected either at a location immediately adjacent to the original samples, immediately above or below the original samples, or from the same locations and at the same time as the original samples.Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Quality Assurance Project Plan September 2010

4-6 Laboratory control samples (LCS)/duplicate LCS analyses results will be used to assess analytical precision.



### 4.4.3 Completeness

Completeness is defined as the overall percentage of valid analytical results (including estimated values) compared to the total number of anal ytical results reported by the laboratory. The completeness goal for this project will be 90 perc ent. Successful completion of data acquisition can only be accomplished if both the field and labor atory portions of the project are performed according to the procedures described in the QAPP.



### 4.4.4 Representativeness

Representativeness is the degree th at data accurately and precisely represent a char acteristic of a population, parameter variations at a sampli ng point, or an environmental condition. Representativeness will be achieved by conducti ng sampling in compliance with the sample collection procedures described in the SAP (S ection 3). Homogenized field duplicate samples will be collected and used as a means to assess field representativeness. The SAP sections details preliminary sample points; however, on ce on site, the number and types (matrix) of samples collected at each investigation site will be reassessed to ensure that the site is adequately sampled. Sample locations will be biased towa rds areas where releases would likely migrate to
and/or accumulate.



### 4.4.5 Comparability

Comparability expresses the confidence with which one data set can be co mpared to another. Comparability can be related to accuracy and pr ecision because these quan tities are measures of data reliability. Data are considered comparable if collection techniques, measurement procedures, methods, and reporting are equivale nt for the samples within a sample set. Comparability for sampling will be determined to be acceptable based on the following criteria: a consistent approach to sampling was ap plied throughout the program; samples were consistently preserved; and sampling was performed during the same time of year and under similar physical conditions.



## 4.5 Data Reporting and Documentation

All data deliverables will be Naval Installa tion Restoration Information System (NIRIS) compatible. The subcontracted laboratory will prepare and retain full analytical and QC documentation. The following item s present the key components of the hard copy deliverables that will be generated:

 data packages along with supporting QC data;

 original copy COC forms (or certified copies);

 cover sheet listing the samples included in the report and narrat ive comments describing problems encountered during analysis;

 tabulated presentation of analytical results for all samples including reporting limits for all analytes and any laboratory assigned data qualifiers (d ata qualifiers will be defined and documented in the case narrative);

 tabulated presentation of results for all met hod and preparation blanks, as applicable; andWork Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Quality Assurance Project Plan September 2010

4-7  analytical results for all laboratory QC samp le analyses (LCS results and recoveries, surrogate recoveries, recoveri es, and RPDs; laboratory duplicat e (LD) results; and serial dilution results).



## 4.6 Oversight and Assessment

The QA/QC protocols and procedures will be implemented for all project activities. The plans and procedures implemented in the field and labora tory will be evaluated by direct oversight of activities, surveillance, and review of documenta tion and data. The oversight and assessment of project activities will be perf ormed by the PM or designee. If problems or incidences of nonconformance are identified, the following sections identify personnel that will deal with them and corrective measures that will be implemented.



## 4.7 Corrective Action

The ultimate responsibility for maintaining qualit y throughout the investigation rests with the PM. The day-to-day responsibility for ensuring th e quality of field and laboratory activities rests
with the FM.

All incidences of nonconformance with the esta blished QC procedures will be expeditiously
identified and controlled. No additional work that is depende nt on a nonconforming activity that potentially affects data quality will be perf ormed until the identified nonconformance is corrected. Documentation describing the nonconform ity will be submitted to the Environet PM.
The documentation will include corrective measures to prev ent the nonconformity from recurring.

When errors, deficiencies, or out-of-control situa tions exist, the QA program provides systematic procedures, called “corrective actions,” to resolv e problems and restore pr oper functioning to the analytical system. Laboratory pers onnel are alerted that correctiv e actions may be necessary if:

 QC data are outside the acceptabl e limits for precision and accuracy;

 blanks or LCS contain contamin ants above acceptable levels;

 there are unusual changes in detection limits;

 deficiencies are detected duri ng internal or external audi ts or from the results of performance evaluation samples; and

 inquiries concerning data quality are received from clients.

Corrective action procedures are often handled at the bench level by the an alyst, who reviews the preparation or extraction proce dure for possible errors, checks the instrument calibration, spike and calibration mixes, instrument sensitivity, a nd so on. If the problem persists or cannot be identified, the matter is referred to the labor atory technical personnel or group leader, manager and/or QA department for further investigation. Once the problem is resolved, full documentation of the corrective action procedure will be filed with the QA department through an anomaly or non-conformance form. This form is kept in a project folder and filed in the QA department. Corrective action documentation is routinely reviewed by the QA Manager.Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Quality Assurance Project Plan September 2010

4-8 Corrective action is dictated by the type and exte nt of the non-conformance. Corrective action may be initiated and carried out by non-supervisor y staff, but final approval and data review by management is necessary before reporting any info rmation. All potentially affected data must be thoroughly reviewed for acceptance or rejection. Samples are monito red closely so that they can be analyzed within th e recommended holding time. Howeve r, should a sample be analyzed outside of the specified holding time, a Holding Ti me Violation Notification is filled out and the Laboratory PM is informed immedi ately. It is his/her responsibil ity to inform the PM and QA Manager so that a decision can be made regarding re-sampling.

The laboratory PMs/QA officer sh are the responsibility of review ing all laboratory analytical activities to ensure compliance with the QC requi rements outlined in this QAPP. This review
serves as a control function in that it should be conducted frequently so de viations from method requirements will be immediately identified and corrected.



### 4.7.1 Field Corrective Action

The FM will review the procedures being implem ented in the field for consistency with the established protocols. Sample collection pro cedures (e.g., preservation, labeling, etc.) will be checked for completeness. When procedures are not strictly in compliance with the established protocol, the deviation will be documented and re ported to the PM. Non-conformances will be expeditiously identified and controlled. No additional work that is dependent on a nonconforming activity that potentia lly affects data quality will be performed until the identified
nonconformance is corrected.

Corrective actions will be de fined by the PM and documented as appropriate. After implementation of the corrective action, the FM will provide the PM with a written memorandum documenting field implementation. The memorandum will become part of the project files.



### 4.7.2 Laboratory Corrective Action

The Laboratory QA/QC Officer or designee will be responsible for initiating correc tive action as necessary. Non-conformances or problems occurri ng at the laboratory will be reported to the PM within one working day of identification. A ppropriate corrective action will be required if analyses of QC samples or laboratory conditions do not meet criteria specified in the respective methods, the Laboratory QAPP, or this WP.

The Environet Chemist or designee will review the field and laboratory data generated for this project to determine if project QA objectives are met. If any non-conformances are found in the laboratory analytical results or documentation procedures during data assessment and validation, the impact of those non-conformances on the ove rall project QA objectives will be assessed. Appropriate actions, including resampling, reanalys is, etc., may be recommended to the PM so that the project objectives can be achieved.



### 4.7.3 Corrective Action Following Data Assessment

The Environet Chemist or designee will review the field and laboratory data generated for this project to determine if project QA objectives are met. If non- conformances are found in the field procedures, sample collection pro cedures, field documentation pro cedures, laboratory analyticalWork Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Quality Assurance Project Plan September 2010

4-9 and documentation procedures, or data review procedures, the im pact of those non-conformances on the overall project objectives will be evaluated. Appropriate actions, including re-sampling, reanalysis, etc., will be recommended to the PM so that the project objectives can be accomplished.Work Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Quality Assurance Project Plan September 2010

The provisions of this Health and Safety Plan (HSP) are mandatory for all project personnel and subcontractors involved in the pe rformance of the Long-Term Mon itoring at Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility (herein referre d to as RHFS), O‘ahu, Hawai‘i. This HSP also provides the
notification of the chemical a nd physical hazards known to be associated with the activities addressed in this document. A hard bound copy of this HSP will be main tained onsite at all times during the performance of field activities.

No operational changes to this HSP that could a ffect the health or safety of personnel, the community, or the environment may be made w ithout prior approval of the Environet Project Manager (PM) and the Health and Safety Prof essional (H&SP), and the concurrence of the Navy’s Contracting Officer. If th e HSP should conflict with federal, state, or local regulations, the most stringent rule will apply.

These work activities were authorized by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Hawai‘i as part of Contract Task Order (CTO) HC14 of E nvironmental Technical
Services Contract Number N62742-08-D-1930.



## 1.1 Health and Safety Policy Statement

It is the policy of Environet to provide a safe and healthfu l work environment for all its employees. Environet considers no phase of ope rations or administrati on to be of greater importance than injury and illness prevention. Safety takes precedence over expediency or shortcuts. At Environet, we believe every accide nt and every injury is avoidable. We will take every reasonable step to reduce the possibi lity of injury, illness, or accident.

This HSP presents the procedures to be em ployed during all on site work activities. The practices and procedures in this HSP are mandato ry for all project pers onnel and subcontractors, while engaged in work operations at the site. All visitors to the project sites must also abide by these procedures.



## 1.2 Classification of Activities

The planned project activities ar e not considered to be Hazardous Waste Operations as defined in Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1910, Section 120, subsection (a) [29 CFR 1910.120(a)].



## 1.3 Regulatory Requirements

This HSP meets the requirements and follows the guidelines established in the following
documents:Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Introduction September 2010

1-2  Safety and Health Requirements Manual , EM-385-1-1 (United States (U.S.) Army Corps of Engineers, 2008).

The requirements also conform to Environet’s Sa fety Program requirement s as specified in the Environet Safety Manual.



## 1.4 Operational Risk Management

This HSP is prepared in accordan ce with the Navy’s principles of Operational Risk Management (ORM). ORM is a decision making tool us ed to increase operational effectiveness by anticipating hazards and reducing the potential fo r loss, thereby increasing the probability of successful job performance.

The purpose of ORM is to mini mize risks to acceptable levels, using the following four principles:

 accept risk only when the benefit outweighs the risk;

 accept no unnecessary risk;

 anticipate and manage risk by planning; and

 make risk decisions at the right level.

ORM is conducted using the following 5-step sequence. These steps are incorporated into this HSP, as indicated:

 identify hazards –Section 5;

 assess hazards –Section 5;

 make risk decisions –Section 5;

 implement Controls –Section 4, Section 6, and Section 7; and

 supervise – Section 3.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Management of Health and Safety Responsibilities September 2010

## 2.7 Subcontractors

Each subcontractor is responsible for assigning specific work tasks to their employees. Each subcontractor’s management will provide qualif ied employees and allocate sufficient time, materials, and equipment, to safely complete assi gned tasks. In particular, each subcontractor is responsible for equipping its pe rsonnel with any required persona l protective equipment (PPE).

Each subcontractor is considered to be an expert in all aspects of the work operations for which they are tasked to provide, and each subcont ractor is responsible for compliance with the regulatory requirements that pertain to those servi ces. Each subcontractor is expected to perform its operations in accordance with its own unique safety policies and procedures, in order to ensure that hazards associated with the pe rformance of the work activities are properly controlled. Subcontractors will provide properl y completed Activity Hazard Analyses (AHA) for tasks they will perform for review prior to the start of onsite activities, if required. In the event that subcontractor procedur e/requirements conflict with require ments in this HSP, the more stringent guidance will be adopted.

Hazards not listed in this HSP but known to any subcontractor, or known to be associated with a subcontractor’s services, must be identified and addressed to the PM or the FM prior to beginning work operations. The FM or authorized representative has the authority to halt anyHealth and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Management of Health and Safety Responsibilities September 2010

2-4 subcontractor operations, and to remove any subc ontractor or subcontractor employee from the site for failure to comply with established heal th and safety procedures or for operating in an
unsafe manner.



## 2.8 Onsite Personnel and Visitors

All onsite personnel and visitors are responsible for his/her own health and safety, for completing assigned tasks in a safe manner, a nd for reporting any unsafe acts or conditions to his/her supervisor and/or the FM/HSO. All pe rsonnel are responsible for continuous adherence to the specified health and safety procedures during the performance of their work. No person may work in a manner that conflicts with the letter or intent of safety and environmental precautions expressed in these procedures. Afte r due warnings, the FM will dismiss from the work site any person who violates safety procedures. All project personnel will be subject to progressive discipline and may be terminated fo r blatant or continued violations or creating conditions that are immediately life-threatening. All onsite personnel and visitors will attend a daily “tail-gate” safety m eeting conducted by the SHO.

All personnel working for Environet and its subc ontractors are required to read and acknowledge their understanding of the HSP and any other app licable health and safety documentation. All visitors to controlled work areas of any projec t site must likewise read and acknowledge their understanding of the applicable he alth and safety requirements. All personnel are expected to abide by all written health and safety requirements and any supplementary instructions communicated by the HSO, and cooperate with s upervisory personnel to ensure a safe and healthful work site. Site personnel are also requi red to report immediately any of the following
to the FM:

 accidents and injuries, no matter how minor;

 unexpected or uncontrolled releas es of any hazardous substances;

 any symptoms of exposure to a hazardous substance;

 any unsafe or malfunctioning equipment;

 “Stop Work” order due to an unsafe act; and

Personnel must successfully complete training meeting the provisions established in 29 CFR 1910.120 (e) (2) and (e) (3) (40-hour initial training). All pers onnel will also receive annual refresher training in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120 (e) (8), and must have completed the most recent training course within the previous 365 days. In addition, personnel must have completed a physical exam in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120 (f) where the medical evaluation includes a judgment of the employee’s ability to use respiratory protective equipment and to participate in hazardous waste site activities.



## 4.1 Visitor Clearances

Visitors to any HAZWOPER controlled-work area must comply with the health and safety requirements of this HSP, and demonstrate an a cceptable need for entry into the work area. All visitors desiring to enter any controlled work area must obs erve the following procedures:

 A written confirmation must be received by Environet documenting that each of the visitors has received the proper training and medical monitoring required by this
HSP. Verbal confirmation can be consider ed acceptable provided such confirmation is made by an officer or other authorized representative of the visitor’s organization.

 Each visitor will be briefed on the hazards as sociated with the site activities being performed and acknowledge receipt of this br iefing by signing the appropriate tailgate safety briefing form.

 All visitors must be esco rted by project personnel.

If the site visitor requires entry into any Excl usion Zone (EZ), but does not comply with the above requirements, all work activities within the EZ must be suspended. Until these requirements have been met, entry will not be permitted.



## 4.2 Onsite Training Procedures

The following training procedures will be accomplis hed for all operational activities. Additional training may be required according to the sp ecific job task performed by the worker.



### 4.2.1 Site-Specific Initial Training

All onsite personnel will be trai ned about potential hazards at the work site, and exposure prevention or control measures. Field personnel will be:

 instructed of the contents of a pplicable portions of this plan;Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i General Health and Safety Procedures September 2010

4-2  present at a daily “tail-gate” safety mee ting prior to the commencement of each field activity;

 made aware of task-specific physical hazards and other hazards that might be encountered during site work (see the AHA in Attachment A);

 informed about potential routes of e xposure, protective clothing, precautionary measures, and symptoms or signs of ch emical exposure and heat stress; and

 made aware of fire prevention measures, fire extinguishment methods, and evacuation procedures.

The FM shall ensure that this training is provi ded to each person prior to his/her entry into any controlled area. All site-specific training will be documented on the tailgate safety briefing form.



### 4.2.2 Site-Specific Tail-Gate Safety Meetings

All onsite personnel will take part in a daily health and safety meeting prior to the start of work. The following topics will be discusse d at the daily tail-gate meeting:

 mandatory training and certificat ions for personnel onsite,

 emergency response procedures includi ng the alarm noise and muster point,

 heat stress, hydration, and breaks,

 biological hazards,

 working in an enclosed space as opposed to outdoors, and

 slips, trips, and falls.



### 4.2.3 Hazard Communication Training

A copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet (M SDS) for each hazardous material or product brought onto the work site will be provided to the SSO for approval and filing. MSDSs for all hazardous materials brought onto the work site, as well as MSDSs for JP-5, JP-8, and diesel marine fuel are included in Attachment B, a copy of which will be maintained on site as part of the HSP. For locally obtained products, MSDSs may not be available, in which case some alternate form of product hazard documentati on can be used, provided it is approved by the H&SP. In accordance with the requirements of Safety Health & Environment 115, Hazard Communication, all personnel shall be briefed on the hazards of any chemical products they use (e.g., propanol used for decontamination), and sha ll be aware of and have access to all MSDSs.

All containers on site shall be properly labeled to indicate their contents. Labeling on any containers not intended for singl e-day, individual use shall also contain additional information indicating potential hazards (flammability, reactivity, etc.).Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i General Health and Safety Procedures September 2010

4-3 

## 4.3 General Site Safety Rules

In addition to HAZWOPER, the general site safety rules for the project effort are identified in the following sections.



### 4.3.1 Smoking, Eating, and Drinking

Smoking, eating, and drinking will not be permitted in controlled work areas. Field workers will first wash hands and face immediately after leavi ng the controlled work areas (and always prior to eating or drinking). Cons umption of alcoholic beverage s is prohibited at any site.



### 4.3.2 Personal Hygiene

An adequate supply of potable water will be avai lable for field personnel consumption and use in cleaning activities. Potable water used for drinki ng can be provided in the form of water bottles, canteens, water coolers, or drin king fountains. Adequate disposal containers will be provided.

If access to toilet facilities is not available, then a portable toilet fa cility will be provided to the
work site. Portable toilets must include hand- washing capabilities (hand wipes are adequate to meet this need).

Personnel will be provided access to washing fac ilities (e.g., buckets with water and Alconox) at the work site. Personnel will be required to clean hands and face using water and hand soap (or similar substance) prior to breaks and at the end of daily work activities.



### 4.3.3 Buddy System

All field personnel will use the buddy system when working within any c ontrolled work area. Buddies will double check the checklist of items for sampling, decontamination and PPE to be worn prior to entering the tunnel because acc ess to the trucks will be limited. Personnel belonging to another organization on site can se rve as “buddies” for project personnel. Under no circumstances will project personnel be present alone in a controlled work area.



### 4.3.4 Lighting

At a minimum, all portions of each work location will be sufficiently lit so that all surfaces are illuminated at 10 foot-candles or greater. The us e of supplemental light is required for this project since most of the sampling will occur in underground tunnels. Each member of the field team that will be working inside a tunnel will be required to ca rry a flashlight with working
batteries.



### 4.3.5 Work Area Control Records

The HSO will record daily the iden tities of all personnel at time of entry who are working in or entering the Controlled Area/EZ and note th e time of departur e of personnel.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i General Health and Safety Procedures September 2010

4-4 

## 4.4 Drum Handling

Where containers greater than 10 gallons are used for containeri zing chemical products or waste materials, handling of the containers will be accomplished in accordance with the following:

 When not in use, drums/containers will be covered with tight fitting lids.

 At the conclusion of each work shift a ll drums/containers will be placed in a designated waste storage area. This ar ea will be properly marked and secured.

 Mechanical or powered drum handli ng equipment will be used to move drums/containers that weigh in excess of 49 pounds. Manual handling of drums leads to muscular-skeletal injuries and will be avoided to the maximum extent possible.



## 4.5 Heat Stress Prevention

Heat stress can be a significant field site hazard, particularly for non-acclimated personnel operating in the hot, humid environment of O‘ahu. Site personnel will be instructed in the
identification of a heat stress victim, the first-aid tr eatment procedures fo r the victim, and the prevention of heat stress casualties. Work-rest cycles will be determined and the appropriate measures taken to prevent heat stress.

Administrative controls, physiolo gical monitoring, and the adjust ed temperature method will be implemented to manage and minimize the effects of heat stress throughout work activity at the
site. These methods are described below.

Heat stress control measures will be implemente d as necessary at the in ception of work activity.
Administrative controls include training in causes of heat stre ss, physiological re action/response, preventive measures, and first aid. Other administrative controls encompass intermittent rest periods with water breaks, and shaded break areas.



### 4.5.1 Responding to Heat-Related Illness

Project site personnel will be obs erved and evaluated for heat stre ss from the beginning of work activity (when they wear permeable clothing) through physiological monitoring, as weather and employee conditions require it. This regimen will be followed because Wet Bulb Globe Thermometer Monitoring will not be used. This option is permissible through EM 385-1 Section 06.J 04 a, American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists’ Threshold Limit Values and Biological Indices, and O ccupational Safety and Health Ad ministration (OSHA) Technical Manual Section III\Chapter 4 Heat Stress.

When ambient temperatures reach 70 degrees Fa hrenheit (°F) and site workers are wearing permeable, semi-impermeable or impermeable pr otective clothing, physiological monitoring will continue. The guidance in Table 4-1 will be used in identifying and treating heat-related illness.

This is the initial stage of overheating, and prompt action at thispoint may prevent more severe heatrelated illness from occurring. clothing, and drink cool fluids. If an air-conditioned spot is available, this is an
ideal break location. Once the victim shows improvement, he/she may resume working; however, the work pace should be moderated to prevent recurrence of the symptoms.

Heat
Exhaustion Usually begins with muscular weakness and cramping, dizziness, staggering gait, and nausea. The victim will have pale, clammy moist skin and may perspire profusely. The pulse is weak and fast and the victim may faint unless they lie down. The bowels may move involuntarily. Immediately remove the victim from the work area to a shady or cool area with good air circulation (avoid drafts or sudden chilling). Remove all protective outerwear. Call a physician. Treat the victim for shock. (Make the victim lie down, raise his or her feet 6–12 inches, and keep him or her cool by loosening all clothing). If the victim is conscious, it may be helpful to give him or her sips of water. Transport victim to a medical facility as soon as possible.

Heat Stroke The most serious of heat illness, heat stroke represents the collapse of the body’s cooling mechanisms. As a result, body temperature may rise to 104 °F or higher. As the victim progresses toward heat stroke, symptoms such as headache, dizziness, and nausea can be noted, and the skin is observed to be dry, red, and hot. Sudden collapse and loss of consciousness follows quickly and death is imminent if exposure
continues. Heat stroke can occur suddenly. Immediately evacuate the victim to a cool and shady area. Lay the victim on his or her back with the head and shoulders slightly elevated. Remove all protective outerwear and as much personal clothing as decency permits. Apply cold wet towels or ice bags to the head, armpits, and thighs. Sponge off the bare skin with cool water or rubbing alcohol, if available. The main objective is to cool without chilling the
victim.
Give no stimulants or hot drinks.
Since heat stroke is a severe medical condition requiring professional medical attention, emergency medical help should be summoned immediately to provide onsite treatment of the victim and proper transpor t to a medical facility. Victim must be seen by the company or personal physician prior to returning to work.



### 4.5.2 Adjusted Temperature Method

This method can be utilized where Wet Bulb Globe temperature data is not available, and requires only that the ambient temperature (in °F) be known. Adjustment factors are applied to the ambient temperature to account for departur es from ideal conditions (sunny conditions, light winds, moderate humidity, and a fully acc limated work force). The adjustments should be made by addition or subtraction to the ambient temperature reading, or changes in table position, as indicated in Table 4-2. Adju stments are independent and cumulative, all applicable adjustments should be applied. The result is the Adjusted Temperature , which can be compared with the values in Table 4-3 for the applicable work rate (where light work corresponds to minimal physical activity besides standing/watching, very heavy work corresponds to significant, continuous physical labor) to determine the work-rest frequency.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i General Health and Safety Procedures September 2010

### 4.5.3 Evaluating the Work-Rest Sc hedule’s Effectiveness

The intent of the Work-Rest Schedule is to provide effective administrative controls to preclude exposure to heat stress, as much as possible. Once a work-rest schedule is established, the work supervisor must continually evaluate its effectiveness through observation of workers for signs/symptoms of heart stress. Measuremen t of each worker’s pulse and temperature can provide additional information in determining if the schedule is adequate, and is accomplished as
follows:

At the start of the workday each worker’s baseli ne pulse rate (in beats per minute [ bpm]) is determined by taking a pulse count for 15 seconds and multiplying the result by four. Worker pulse rates can then be measured at the beginni ng and end of each break period to determine if the rest period allows adequate co oling by applying the following criteria:Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i General Health and Safety Procedures September 2010

4-7  each worker’s maximum heart rate at the start of any break should be less than [180 minus workers age] bpm. If this value is exceeded for any worker, the duration of the following work period w ill be decreased by at least 10 minutes.

 at the end of each work period, all workers’ heart rates must have returned to within +10% of the baseline pulse rate. If any worker’s pulse rate exceeds this value the break period will be extended for at least 5 minutes, at th e end of which pulse
rates will be re- measured and the end-of-break criteria again applied.

Temperature can be checked with an aural, temporal, or disposab le oral thermometer after work activity or before the employee drinks water. If the body temperature exceeds 37.6 degrees Celsius (°C) or 99.68 °F, shorte n the work cycle by one third 1 . If body temperatures of 38.3 °C or 101 °F is the upper limit for not sending employees back to work.

Recommended Guidelines

The guidelines discussed in this section are intended to be used only as a means for initial establishment of a work/rest regimen.

 The onsite health and safety representative will evaluate the conditions at a specific operation and make final determinations of the work/rest regimen.

 Intake of fluid will be increased beyond that which satisfies thirst, and it is important to avoid "fluid debt," which will not be made up as long as the individual is sweating.

 Two eight ounce glasses of water should be taken prior to beginning work, then up to 32 ounces per hour during the work shift; fl uid replacement at frequent intervals is
most effective.

 The best fluid to drink is water; liquids li ke coffee or soda do not provide efficient hydration, and may increa se loss of water.

 If commercial electrolyte drinks (e.g., Gato rade) are used, the drink should be diluted with water, or 8 ounces of water should be taken with each 8 ounces of electrolyte beverage.

 Additional salt is usually not needed and salt tablets should not be taken.

 Replacement fluids should be cool, but not cold.

 Breaks will be taken in a cool, shaded location, and any impermeable clothing
should be removed.

 Dry clothing or towels will be available to minimize chills when taking breaks.

 Manual labor will not be performed during breaks, other than paperwork or similar light tasks.

 Other controls that ma y be used include:

- scheduling work at night or during the cooler parts of the day (6 am - 10 am, 3 pm - 7 pm).

1 Temperature evaluation step obtained from OSHA Technical Manual Section III, Chapter 4 - Heat Stress.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i General Health and Safety Procedures September 2010

4-8 - erecting a cover or partition to shade the work area.

- use of cooling garments (this option is expensive and logistically difficult to implement).

 The health and safety representative will dete rmine the potential for heat stress based on planned activities and weather forecasts.

 If the potential for heat stress exists:

- All site workers will be informed of the potential for heat stress during the daily safety meeting.

- The health and safety representative will determine if any workers are at particular risk for heat st ress due to illness, etc.

- The health and safety representative will ensure that sufficient quantities of potable water and electrolyte drinks are available in the decontamination area
and that a shaded rest area is avai lable at or immediately outside the
decontamination area.

- All workers will drink 16 ounces of wate r prior to beginning work and at least 16 ounces during each rest period.

 The initial work period and monitoring fre quency is set according to the level of
risk for heat stress.

 Within the first minute of each rest peri od, each worker's heart rate (pulse) will be measured, and compar ed to the following:

- initial heart rate: 110 bpm (28 beats/15 sec).

 Each worker's heart rate will be measured again three minutes later, and compared to the following:

- recovery heart rate: 80 bpm (20 beats/15 sec).

 If both heart rate criteria are met, the s ubsequent work period may be increased by one third, provided the temperature remains constant.

 If the initial heart ra te is > 110 bpm, or the recovery rate is not less than 80 bpm, the subsequent work shift is decreased by one third.

 Additional means of prevention include:

- cooling devices such as vortex tubes or cooling vests can be worn beneath protective garments. If cooling devices are worn, only physiological monitoring will be used to determine work activity.

- Employees will open or remove chemical protective garments during rest periods.

- All employees will be informed of the importance of adequate rest and proper diet in the prevention of heat stress.

- Employees will be informed of the ha rmful effects of excessive alcohol consumption in the prevention of heat stress.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i General Health and Safety Procedures September 2010

## 4.6 Fire Hazard Prevention

Fire Hazard is a serious potentially life threaten ing situation at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility. There are 18 USTs that are currently being utilized onsite and each holds 20.5 million gallons of product. Products range from Jet Prope llant to diesel, in the past they have also contained automotive gasoline and oil. Sampling will occur on the RHFS in tunnels therefore extreme caution to not ignite any potent ially flammable vapors is imperative.

The guidelines discussed in this section are intended to be used as a means for safe sampling
activities in the work areas.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i General Health and Safety Procedures September 2010

# Section 5 Hazard Assessment

For this project, project personnel and subcontractor(s) will perform tasks associated with project activities. Performance of these tasks can expo se personnel to a variety of hazards due to the operational activities, physical conditions of the work locations, and potential presence of environmental contaminants (see Section 3).



## 5.1 Specifications of Work Tasks

The following work task is to be performed during the project activities:

 groundwater monitoring;

 soil vapor monitoring;

 fuel product monitoring;

 TPH-Gasoline

 VOCs

 PAHs

 dissolved leadHealth and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Hazard Assessment September 2010

5-2 Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in the Gasoline Range

Gasoline is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons and additives, used primarily as a motor fuel. Gasoline possessed moderate to high vapor pressu re, meaning it is highly volatile. The lower explosive limit for gasoline is 1.1 percent concentra tion in air; fire/explos ion can be significant in enclosed spaces where airborne concentrations may accumulate.

Chronic exposures or exposures to high concentration of gasoline vapor may cause unconsciousness, coma, and possible death from respiratory failure. Exposure to low concentrations of gasoline vapors may produce fl ushing of the face, slurred speech, and mental confusion. Gasoline is also irritating to the sk in, and may cause drying and dermatitis as a result of prolonged contact.

Various components and additives of gasoline can themselves present significant additional hazards. The aromatic compounds benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) are of greatest concern in relation to site characterization activities, and are addressed separately below. However, some additives used for octane cont rol (e.g. methyl tertiary butyl ether MTBE), oxygenated (e.g., alcohols and MTBE), and water scavenging (e.g., methylene glycol methyl ether) can also present significant hazards as a re sult of prolonged inhalati on or skin exposure. In the past, tetra-ethyl and tetr a methyl lead, both of which have been identified as carcinogens and present moderate skin cont act hazards, were added to gasoline for anti-knock control.

Both the OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL) and the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienis ts (ACGIH) threshold limit valu e (TLV) for gasoline are 300 parts per million (ppm). Control of inhalation exposure to gasoline (and its various constituents and additives) can be accomplished by using ai r-purifying respirators equipped with organic vapor cartridges. The use of skin protection (e.g. chemically prot ective gloves) is required when handling gasoline-contaminated materials.

Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons in the Diesel Range

Like gasoline diesel is a comp lex mixture of hydrocarbons. It is manufactured through refining
of middle-distillate crude oil components, and thus is somewh at less volatile than gasoline (which comes from light stocks).

Exposure to diesel fuels can produce intoxica tion and other central nervous system (CNS) depression effects in cases of acute exposure, a nd can lead to defatting of skin and contact dermatitis in case of contact exposur e. Like gasoline, diesel fuel contains some small quantities of volatile hydrocarbon additive s, including BTEX members.

There are no established expos ure standards from either OSHA or ACGIH for diesel fuel; however, action levels should be developed th at reflect the potential presence of BTEX (particularly benzene) when dies el fuels are present. Control of inhalation expos ure to diesel fuel (and its various constituents) can be accomplished by using air-purifying respirators equipped with organic vapor cartridges. The use of skin protection (e.g . chemically protective gloves) is required when handling diesel-contaminated materials.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Hazard Assessment September 2010

5-3 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

VOCs are organic chemical compounds that have high enough vapor pressure under normal conditions to significantly vaporize and enter th e atmosphere. A wide range of carbon based molecules, such as aldehydes, ketones and ot her light hydrocarbons are VOCs. The most common VOC is methane. Common artificial VOCs include paint thi nners, dry cleaning solvents, and some constituents of petroleum fuels.

The most common hazard for VOCs is inhalation. The proper use of air-purifying respirators equipped with P100 cartridges and chemically -protective gloves will adequately protect personnel.

Polynuclear Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)

PAHs are produced during combustion events due to inadequate oxidation of fuel. PAHs in the pure state are yellowish crystalline solids. They are found in coal tar and products of incomplete combustion. These chemicals have varying de grees of potency for causing cancer, with benzo(a)pyrene being among the most potent. PAHs are evaluated collectively as coal tar pitch volatiles. Coal tar pitch volatile s may cause photosensitization and a rash where sunlight strikes the skin. Exposure may also cause cancer of the lungs, skin, bladder, or kidneys. Benzo(b)fluoranthene, be nzo(j)fluoranthene, benz o(k)fluoranthene, benz o(a)pyrene, chrysene, and ideno(1,2,3,c,d)pyrene have been identified as carcinogenic.

The information for PAH compounds is presented for site contaminant aw areness. While the potential for site personnel sustaining significant inhalation exposures to volatilized PAH compounds during this project’s site activities in minimal, there is the potential for inhalation of PAH-contaminated dust, and handling of contaminat ed soil presents skin exposure hazards. Use of dust suppression techniques (as appropriate) and the proper use of air-purifying respirators equipped with P100 cartridges and chemically -protective gloves will adequately protect personnel.

Heavy Metals (including lead)

As a group, the heavy metals (including lea d, arsenic, chromium, nickel, cadmium, and selenium) are toxic to a number of organs and organ systems in the body, including the liver, kidneys, blood-forming organs (primarily located in the bones), and the CNS (especially lead). Acute exposure to metals can pr oduce such symptoms as stomach distress and vomiting, mental confusion and sluggishness, heart palpitations, br eathing difficulties, and renal (kidney) failure. Chronic exposures can be characterized by deteri oration in function of the liver and kidneys, CNS degradation, and abnormal changes in bloo d cell counts (especially white blood cells).

The primary route of exposure to heavy metals of concern during this project is contact with contaminated soil and water, which can lead to entry through open wounds or contamination and ingestion of food. Preventing th is route of exposure necessita tes the use of dust control measures, administrative controls (e.g., no consump tion of food/beverages in the work area or smoking/chewing tobacco), chemi cally-protective gloves, and decontamination procedures.

MethaneHealth and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Hazard Assessment September 2010

5-4 Methane is a natural compound whic h is the primary component of natural gas. Methane is not toxic, however it is an asphyxiate and may displace oxygen in an enclosed space. Asphyxia may result if the oxygen concentration is reduced to below 19.5% by displacement.



### 5.2.1 Assessment of Hazards

There is the potential for occupational exposure to occur through two direct routes (inhalation and skin contact) and one indire ct route (ingestion). Descrip tions of exposure hazards and protective measures for each contam inant type were presented above.

Inhalation . A potential inhalation hazard from organic vapors exists during sampling activities. Real-time air monitoring for organic compounds, using a PID, will be conducted at well-head opening during these activities.

Skin Contact . Contact with contaminated materials is likely during sampling activities. Protection against skin cont act/adsorption can be accom plished by using protective gloves/clothing.

Ingestion . Contact with contaminated materials is likely during sampling activities. Protection against exposure via ingestion can be accomplis hed by performance of proper decontamination procedures when exiting contaminated work areas.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Activity-Specific Health and Safety Procedures September 2010

# Section 6 Activity-Specific Health and Safety
Procedures

6.1 Slips, Trips, Falls, and Protruding Objects

Hazards from protruding objects, careless movements, or placement of materials on paths or foot traffic areas present a problem w ith regard to slips, trips, falls, and puncture wounds. Personnel
will use a reasonable amount of effort to ensure the prevention of such injuries.



## 6.2 Hazardous Noise Environments

Although not anticipated, working around heavy equi pment often creates excessive noise. The effects of noise can include physical damage to the ear, pain, and temporary and/or permanent hearing loss. Workers can also be startled, annoyed, or distr acted by noise during critical
activities.

Work within 25 feet of heavy equipment, when in operation, can result in exposure to hazardous levels of noise (levels of greater than 90 decibels). Accordingly, all personnel are required to use hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs) with in 25 feet of any operating piece of heavy equipment.



## 6.3 Manual Materials Handling

All personnel will minimize the use of their back when performing manual handling in excess of 10 pounds. No person shall lift more than 49 pounds without the use of mechanical aid or assistance from other personnel.



## 6.4 Chemical Exposure Monitoring Procedures

Monitoring procedures will be employed during proj ect activities to assess employee exposure to chemical and physical hazards. Monitoring of th e worker(s) breathing zone will be performed when the wells are first opened to assess empl oyee exposure risk using a RAE® Systems MiniRAE PID and MIE® Model PDM-3 Aerosol Monito r or comparable equipment. If initial readings are within expectable limits work will pr oceed as planned. If any chemical or physical hazard is detected at the time of well-head ope ning, all personnel will be notified and evacuated
to a safe distance until the h azard is dispersed. Monitoring wi ll consist primarily of onsite determination of various parameters (e.g., airborne contaminant concentrations and heat stress effects), but may be supplement ed by more sophisticated monito ring techniques, if necessary.

Monitoring results will be l ogged in the field book, reviewed, and discussed during tailgate safety briefing.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Activity-Specific Health and Safety Procedures September 2010

All instruments will be calibrated before and af ter each period of use in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions and standard industrial hygiene practice. Calibration information for each instrument will be recorded in the site log.



### 6.4.2 Hazardous Noise Monitoring Procedures

When heavy equipment is in operation, it will be necessary to ensure that each EZ fully encompasses all areas where hazardous noise levels are present (85 dBA or greater). Once each work day, the HSO will use a sound level meter to survey the perimeter of each EZ, while all onsite heavy equipment within the zone is being operated simultaneously. If the sound pressure level exceeds 85 dBA at any location along the site perimeter, the HSO will exit the EZ and use
the meter to determine the 85 dBA limit. The EZ boundary will then be adjusted to fully encompass this region. Hearing protection will be required during heavy equipment operations. Although planned field activities at the Site are not anticipated to generate significant sources of noise, Environet staff will have ear protection on-site at all times.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i PPE and Decontamination Requirements September 2010

# Section 7 PPE and Decontamination Requirements

PPE is used to limit employee exposure to hazar ds anticipated on site. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has define d levels of PPE based on skin and respiratory protection. The components of these levels of PPE are shown in Table 7-1. The initial PPE level for this project is Level D.

The H&SM may modify these initial PPE levels in response to additional site information, with the approval of the H&SM. The level of PPE n ecessary for any decontamination activity will be determined by the H&SM and will be based on sp ecific monitoring results obtained during field investigation activities.

## 7.1 Decontamination Procedures

For decontamination purposes, including personne l and equipment, the proper decontamination procedures during the characterization effort will comply with the following procedures.



### 7.1.1 Personnel Decontamination

If site conditions requ ire, personnel exiting the EZ will be decontaminated before leaving the contaminant reduction zone (CRZ). Primary dec ontamination will be conduc ted at the border of
the EZ and CRZ.

Decontamination for Level D PPE will include wash ing boots. Disposable coveralls, gloves, or outer boot coverings, if worn, will be discarded in the appropriate container. If cotton coveralls or work clothes are worn, they will be removed be fore leaving the site, a nd street clothes will be
donned. Personnel are advised to shower as soon as possible after leaving the site. In the unanticipated event that Modified Level D, Level C, and/or Level B is required at the site,
decontamination will be as follows:

 wash boot covers and outer gloves (Was h water will be potable water containing detergent. Rinse water will be potable water.);

 rinse boot covers and outer gloves (e.g., using a long-hand led brush in a wash tub containing potable water or a sprayer if available);

 remove tape used to seal gloves and boots and place it in the PPE container;

 remove Tyvek ® , coated Tyvek  , or equivalent coveralls (for Level B remove outer coveralls) and place in the PPE container;

 remove boot covers and place in the PPE container;

 remove outer gloves and place in the PPE container;

 inspect boots and check for furthe r decontamination, as needed;

 remove respirators or facemasks and place on equipment table for decontamination;

 remove inner coveralls (Level B) and place in the PPE container;Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i PPE and Decontamination Requirements September 2010

7-3  remove inner gloves and place in PPE containe r. If cold weather liners were used, place them in a dedicated r eceptacle for machine washing and subsequent reuse; and

 if required, transport personnel to the shower and locker room or change out facility for personal washing as necessary.

NOTE: The water repellency of non-coated Tyvek  and similar garments is due to the surface tension of water and the resistance of the Tyvek  fiber to wetting. The presence of surfactants (e.g., detergents) in the water completely defe ats the water repellen t properties of Tyvek 

. Therefore, non-coated Tyvek  and similar fabrics should never be exposed to water and detergent solutions during th e decontamination process.



### 7.1.2 Equipment Decontamination

Equipment decontamination will be performed on all equipment that co mes in contact with discreet sampling locations (e.g., sampling equipm ent). Decontamination will be performed to limit the spread of contamination and limit worker exposure to contamina tion. Equipment will be decontaminated before personnel decontam ination (i.e., personnel will remain in the appropriate level of PPE until equipment decontamination is complete).



### 7.1.3 Disposal of Decontamination Wastes

A project-specific Waste Management Plan has b een prepared and is included in Appendix B of the site RWP. Field personnel will refer to this plan for detailed procedures on disposal of
decontamination wastes.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i PPE and Decontamination Requirements September 2010

# Section 8 Emergency Action Plan

8.1 General

Although the potential for an emergency to occur is remote, an emergency action plan has been prepared for this project should su ch critical situations arise. The only significant type of onsite emergency that may occur is physical injury or illness to a member of the project team. The emergency action plan will be revi ewed by all personnel prior to th e start of field activities and acknowledged on the Signature Page.



## 8.2 Responsibilities

8.2.1 Field Manager/Site Safety Officer

The FM/HSO will be the primary contact and coordi nator of all emergency activities and will be responsible for the following:

 evaluating the severity of the emergency;

 implementing the emergency evacuation pro cedures and appropriate response action;

 summoning appropriate emergency services (e.g., fire department, police, or ambulance); and

 notifying all site personnel, the H&SP, and concerned Navy authorities of the emergency situation.



## 8.3 Emergency Evacuation Procedures

The information contained herein, as it relates to emergency evacuation procedures, is intended for a small work site with limited equipment. The small, mobile work site associated with sample collection operations makes it impractical to pre-determine an evacuation route for inclusion in this HSP; however, the following general evacuation procedure requirements are established here for use by the HSO to determine specific evacuation procedures at each site:

 An alarm system consisting of voice or other audible alarm (e.g., horn) will be identified by the HSO as the emergency evacu ation notice, prior to the start of field
activities.

 In the event of an emergency evacuation, all personnel in the EZ will exit through the CRZ and congregate at a place of refuge located a safe di stance from the site, to be designated by the HSO during the daily tailgate safety briefing.

 The FM will initiate an emergency stop a nd exit the area in the manner noted in the
second bullet.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Emergency Action Plan September 2010

8-2  Once at the place of refuge, the HSO will account for all site personnel based on the sign-in log for the site; personnel will make all possible attempts to locate unaccounted site personnel and/or contact emergency services.

 Within the first three days of the start of field activities, th e HSO will conduct an emergency evacuation training event where all site personnel will practice an emergency evacuation. Immediately followi ng the emergency evacuation training event, a post-training meeting will be held to critique the performance of the training event. The meeting will highlight the st rong and weak points of the training event
and evaluate corrective actions if necessary.



### 8.3.1 Other Onsite Personnel

Field personnel are required to inform the HSO of all emergency situations and to abide by their issued response actions. Special medical problems of field personnel, such as allergies to insects, plants, or prescription medi cation, will be reported to the HSO.



## 8.4 Emergency Equipment

In accordance with 29 CFR 1910 (General Indu stry) and 1926 (Construction), the following emergency equipment will be available at th e work site and in proper working condition.



### 8.4.1 First Aid Kit

In addition, a fire extinguisher will be mounted on each piece of heavy equipment for use in an emergency. The minimum rating for each vehi cle-mounted extinguisher will be 2A:10B.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Emergency Action Plan September 2010

8-3 

### 8.4.3 Eyewash Units

An eyewash unit will be available at the work site at all times. Th e eyewash must meet the latest requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Standa rd Z358.1 and will be capable of supplying hands-fr ee irrigation for both eyes for at leas t 15 minutes at a fl ow rate of at least 0.4-gallon per minute.



### 8.4.4 Flash Light

Each member of the field team shall carry a fl ash light incase of a pow er outage at any time while in the tunnels at RHFS. If a power outage were to occur the tunnels would be completely dark and there would be tripping hazards beca use there are no known emergency lighting units.



## 8.5 Response Actions – Safety Equipment Problems

A malfunction or other problem with any health a nd safety equipment can potentially lead to a medical emergency. Examples include the following:

 leaks or tears in protective clothing;

 failure of respiratory protective devices (i.e., self-contained br eathing apparatus or air-purifying respirators); and

 encountering contaminants for which pres cribed protective equipment may not be
suitable.

These equipment problems must be corrected befo re proceeding with field activities. Personnel affected by the equipment problem(s) must exit the work area until the problem has been
corrected.



## 8.6 Response Actions – Medical Emergencies

A medical emergency is a situation that presents a signif icant threat to the health of personnel on site. Chemical exposure, heat stress, cold st ress, and poisonous insect bites can cause medical emergencies. Proper care must be initiated immedi ately. Proper care may be in the form of first aid treatment or emergency hospitalization. Two way radios or some other form of hazard
communication devise will need to be onsite in the event of an emergency hospitalization.

Response personnel will accompany victims to the medi cal facility, whenever possible, to advise on decontamination. Table 8-1 provides instructi ons to respond to general categories of medical emergencies.



### 8.6.1 Medical Assistance

The FM or HSO will keep on site the list of emergency telephone numbers and locations of the local fire department, hospitals, ambulance servi ce, and other emergency services (Table 8-2).Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Emergency Action Plan September 2010

8-4 All emergency telephone numbers will be verified by the FM or HSO prior to commencing field
activities.

In the event of injury, transpor t personnel to Saint Francis Me dical Center-West (Figure 8-1).

At least two qualified first aid providers will be present on site at all times to provide immediate care in the event of accident or injury. Qualifie d first aid providers will be certified in CPR and BBP training as required by CFR 1910.1030 and Envi ronet’s corporate health and safety policy. The HSO will inform hospital personnel of any me dical treatment administered to personnel for onsite injury, illness, or exposure to chemical contaminants.

### 8.7.1 Incident Report Actions

1. The senior onsite leader, typically the FM or HSO, will assume full control of all work activities as the designated Response Manager (RM).

2. The RM will assess the incident consequences, and will order an immediate
evacuation of the site if an uncontroll ed hazard exists to site personnel.

3. Once the risk of worker injury is controlle d, priority will be given to identifying and treating injuries, under the direction of the RM. Firs t aid procedures will be implemented immediately for all victims; emergency medical assistance will be contacted (in accordance with HSP procedures) if injuries warrant response by emergency medical technicians. As appr opriate, less-severely -injured personnel should be transported to the designated hospital (as time/resources permit), sent home, or released to resume work.

4. Once injury response activities are under control, the RM will perform an assessment of the site conditions and determine if offsite support is required to implement control or corrective procedures. If no outside support is necessary, the RM will direct worker recovery actions to allow resumption of normal activities. Once activities are restored, the RM will contract the PM and HSP-designated H&SP and provide a complete report of the incidence occurrence, any resulting injuries or damage, and the completed response actions. Additional direc tions issued by the PM or H&SP will be implemented by the RM. The PM will be responsible for notifying the Remedial Project Manager (RPM) and the Program Ma nager of the incident in as timely a manner as possible. Additional follow-up w ill be performed as needed, in accordance with the follow-up activities discussed below.

5. If outside support is require d in response to post-incid ent conditions, the RM will
contact the NAVFAC Pacific or other designated/appropr iate response agency in accordance with the HSP. The response agen cy will be provided with information concerning site location, the nature of the incident, the assessme nt of conditions, and what type of support is required. In addition, during the initial contact, the response agency must be informed that the work si te is undergoing envir onmental investigation and that response actions may entail exposure to environmental contaminants.

6. After notifying the response agency of the incident, the RM will immediately contact the PM and HSP-designated HSP and provide a complete report of the incidence occurrence, any resulting inju ries and damage, and the status of the on-going response actions. Additional directions issued by the PM or H&SP will be implemented by the RM. The PM will be responsible for notifying the RPM and the Program Manager before the close of business that day, if po ssible, or else at the start of the next business day. Additional follow-up will be performed as needed, in accordance with the follow-up activities discussed below

7. If response team support will be immediate, the RM will remain on site to meet the response team. If response will be dela yed, the RM will coordinate the response schedule to be present when the response ag ency arrives. If response will not be immediate, the RM will ensure that the site is controlled and poses no health or safety hazard to persons or property before leaving it uncontrolled. If this cannot beHealth and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Emergency Action Plan September 2010

8-7 ensured, the RM or other designated personnel will stay on site to maintain control until the response team arrives.

8. The RM will provide the res ponse team leader with a c opy of the HSP, along with a concise briefing on site conditions, known physical/chemical hazards, and recommended safety procedures. The RM w ill endeavor to answer any questions the response team leader may have regarding the environmental conditions of the site or
the circumstances of the incident.

9. Once the status briefing is complete, the RM will relinquish operational control of the site to the response team. The RM will remain on site th roughout the response team’s work unless dismissed by the response team leader or relieved by an appropriate representative (e.g., the PM); however, th e RM will NOT direct any response team actions. When the response team has comp leted its work, contro l of the site will
return to the RM.

10. Once response activities have been comple ted, the RM will notify the PM and the

H&SP.



### 8.7.2 Injury/Incident Follow-Up Actions

Following any onsite incident, inju ry, or near-miss, the PM will provide initial and follow-up
notification to the contrac ting officer in accordance to the following schedule:

Serious Contractor Mishap

For any mishap involving a fatality or the hospitali zation of three or more workers, or resulting in property damage exceeding $200,000 in value, the following actions will be implemented:

 The H&SP will provide immediate positive voice contact to the RPM. If the RPM is unavailable, the NTR will be contacted.

 The H&SP will provide e-mail or written notific ation to the contracting officer within
four hours of the incident.

 A preliminary Contractor’s Significant Incident Report (CSIR) must be submitted to the contracting officer within 24 hours of the mishap.

 A final CSIR must be submitted to the contracting officer within five days of the mishap.

Non-Serious Contractor Mishap

For any mishap that causes one or more OSHA-record able injuries or which results in more than $2,000 in property damage, but does not qualify as “serious”, the following actions will be implemented:

 The H&SP will provide telephone or e-mail no tification to the contracting officer within four hours of the mishap.Health and Safety Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Emergency Action Plan September 2010

8-8  A final CSIR must be submitted to the contracting officer within five days of the mishap.

Other Mishaps

For all non-OSHA-recordable injuries or near-m iss incidents (defined in EarthTech Safety Procedure EHS 101) and incident s involving less than $2,000 in damage, the following actions will be implemented:

 The H&SP will provide telephone or e-mail no tification to the contracting officer within three working days of the mishap.

 No CSIR is required; however the project team will provide the contracting officer with a copy of its own inves tigation report once completed.

Follow-Up Investigations

The project team will perform an Incident Investiga tion for every incident that occurs at the Site. Results of this investigation will be implem ented by the PM (as applicable), and will be communicated by the H&SM to all P Ms for appropriate implementation.ÆqKAISER PERMANENTE MEDICAL CENTER

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling : Keep away from fire, sparks and heated surfaces. No smoking near areas where material is stored or handled. The product should o nly be stored and handled in areas with intrinsically safe electrical classifica tion.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion : Hydrocarbon liquids including this product can ac t as a non-conductive flammable liquid (or static accumulators), and may form ignit able vapor-air mixtures in storage tanks or other containers. Precautions to prevent static-initated fire or explosion during transfer, storage or handling, include but a re not limited to these examples: (1) Ground and bond containers during product trans fers. Grounding and bonding may not be adequate protection to prevent i gnition or explosion of hydrocarbon liquids and vapors that are static accu mulators. (2) Special slow load procedures for "switch loadin g" must be followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that can exist whe n higher flash point material (such as fuel oil or diesel) is loaded int o tanks previously containing low flash point products (such gasoline or naphtha). (3) Storage tank level floats must be effectively b onded.MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Diesel Fuel - NRLM Page 4 of 11

3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EYES Contact with eyes may cause mild to moderate irritation.

SKIN May cause skin irritation with prolonged or repeated contact. Practically non-to xic if absorbed following acute (single) exposure. Liquid may be absorbed thr ough the skin in toxic amounts if large areas of skin are repeatedly exposed.

INGESTION

The major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration (breathing) of liquid drops into the lungs, particularly from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs), severe lung damage, respiratory failure and even death.

Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, and central nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors, convulsions, loss of consciousness, coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur.

INHALATION Excessive exposure may cause irritation to the nose, throat, lungs and respirator y tract. Central nervous system (brain) effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and coordination, unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure, and death.

WARNING : the burning of any hydrocarbon as a fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result
in hazardous levels of combus tion products, including carbon monoxide, and inadequate oxygen levels, which may cause unconsciousness, suffocation, and death. NFPA 704 (Section 16)MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

Revision Date: 7/1/2006 Page 2 of 7 CHRONIC EFFECTS and CARCINOGENICITY Similar products produced skin cancer and systemic toxicity in laboratory animals following repeated applications. The significance of these result s to human exposures has not been determined - see Section 11 Toxicological Information.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE Irritation from skin exposure may aggravate existi ng open wounds, skin disorders, and dermatitis (rash).

4. FIRST AID MEASURES
EYES In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15 min. Hold eyelids open to ensure adequate flushi ng. Seek medical attention.

SKIN Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminat ed areas thoroughly with soap and water or waterless hand cleanser. Obtain medical attention if irrita tion or redness develops. Thermal burns require immediate medical attention depending on the severity and the area of the body burned.

INGESTION DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Do not give liquids. Ob tain immediate medical attention. If spontaneous vomiting occurs, lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Monitor for breathing difficulties.
Small amounts of material which enter the mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is dissipated.

INHALATION Remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing provide artificial respiration. If necessary, provide additional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so. Seek medical attention immediately.

5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FLAMMABLE PROPERTIES : FLASH POINT: > 140 o F (60 o C) TCC
AUTOIGNITION POINT: 475 o F (246 o C) OSHA/NFPA FLAMMABILITY CLASS: IIIA (COMBUSTIBLE) LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (%): 0.7 UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT (%): 5.0

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS Vapors may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat, s park, open flame or other source of ignition. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition s ource, flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heav ier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard.

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA SMALL FIRES: Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fi res, dry chemical, CO2, water spray, fire fighting foam, or Halon.

LARGE FIRES: Water spray, fog or fire fighting f oam. Water may be ineffective for fighting the fire, but may be used to cool fire-exposed containers.

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Small fires in the incipient (beginning) stage may typically be extinguished using handheld portable fire extinguishers and other fire fighting equipment.

Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high heat, smoke or toxic by-products of combustion should require NIOSH/MSHA- appr oved pressure-demand self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece and full protective clothing.

Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and containers exposed to fire and
excessive heat with water. For massive fires t he use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles mayMATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Jet Fuel JP-5 MSDS No. 1809

Revision Date: 7/1/2006 Page 3 of 7 be advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may require withdrawal, allowing the tank to burn. Large storage tank fires typica lly require specially trained personnel and equipment to extinguish the fire, often including the need for properly applied fire fighting foam.

See Section 16 for the NFPA 704 Hazard Rating.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACTIVATE FACILITY’S SPILL CONTINGE NCY OR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN.

Evacuate nonessential personnel and remove or secure all ignition sources. Consider wind direction; stay upwind and uphill, if possible. Evaluat e the direction of product travel, di king, sewers, etc. to confirm spill areas. Spills may infiltrate s ubsurface soil and groundwater; professional assistance may be necessary to determine the extent of subsurface impact.

Carefully contain and stop the source of the spill, if safe to do so. Protect bodies of water by diking, absorbents, or absorbent boom, if possible. Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems, unless system is designed and permitted to handle such material. The use of fire fighting foam may be useful in certain situations to reduce vapors. The proper us e of water spray may effectively disperse product vapors or the liquid itself, preventing contact with ignition sources or areas/equipment that require protection.

Take up with sand or other oil absorbing materials. Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep up into a waste container for reclamation or disposal - caution, fl ammable vapors may accumulate in closed containers. Response and clean-up crews must be properly trai ned and must utilize proper protective equipment (see Section 8).

7. HANDLING and STORAGE
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS Handle as a combustible liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame! Electrical equipment should be approved for classified area. Bond and ground containers during product transfer to reduce the possibility of static-initiated fire or explosion.

Special slow load procedures for "switch loading" must be followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that can exist when higher flash point materi al (such as fuel oil) is loaded in to tanks previously containing low flash point products (such as this product) - see API Publication 2003, "Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out Of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents.

STORAGE PRECAUTIONS Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive te mperatures and open flame. Use approved vented containers. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty product c ontainers or vessels may contain explosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or expose such containers to sources of ignition.

Store in a well-ventilated area. This stor age area should comply with NFPA 30 "Flammable and Combustible Liquid Code". Avoid storage near incompatib le materials. The cleaning of tanks previously containing this product should follow API Recommended Practice (RP) 2013 "Cleaning Mobile Tanks In Flammable and Combustible Liquid Service" and API RP 2015 "Cleaning Petroleum Storage Tanks".

WORK/HYGIENIC PRACTICES Emergency eye wash capability should be available in the near proximity to operations presenting a potential splash exposure. Use good personal hygi ene practices. Avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin exposure. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoki ng, or using toilet facilities. Do not use as a cleaning solvent on the skin. Do not use gasoline or solvents (naphtha, kerosene, etc.) for washing this product from exposed skin areas. Waterless hand cleaners are effective. Promptly remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse. Use care when laundering to prevent the formation of flammable vapors which could ignite via washer or dryer.

MSDS : 29418 observing precautions in Exposure Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible absorbent materials or pumping. All equipment used when handling theproduct must be grounded. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Use clean nonsparking tools to collect absorbed material. Where feasible and appropriate, remove contaminated soil. Place contaminated materials in disposable contai ners and dispose of in a manner consistent with applicable regulations. Reporting: Report spills to local authorities and/or the U. S. Coast Guard's National Response Center at (800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautionary Measures: Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fum es) which can catch fire and burn with explosive force. Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and electrical motors a nd switches. Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 85F. Do not get in eyes, on ski n, or on clothing. Do not breathe vapor or fumes.
Do not breathe mist. Do not taste or sw allow. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Do not use as a portable heater or appliance fuel . Toxic fumes may accumulate and cause death.

General Handling Information: Avoid contaminating soil or releasing this material into sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water.
Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material. To minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all operations whic h have the potential of generating an accumulation of electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere (including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filter ing, mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. For more information, refer to OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, 'Flammable and Combustible Liquids', Na tional Fire Protection Association (NFPA 77, 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity', and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice 2003, 'Protection Against Igni tions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray
Currents'. General Storage Information: DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks or open flames. USE AND STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. Keep container closed when not in use. Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pr essure. Do not use pressure to empty container or it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electr icity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner or disposed of properly.

# Section 1 Purpose and Scope

This document defines the standard operati ng procedure (SOP) for decontamination of personnel and equipment engaged in sampling activities. This SOP serves as a supplement to the project work plan, and the project Health and Safety Plan (HSP). It is intended that these procedures described below be used together with the project work plan, the project HSP,
and other SOPs.

The overall objective of the sampling program is to obtain samples that accurately characterize the chemical contamination pr esent at the sampling site. Extraneous contaminant materials can be brought onto the sampling location and/or introduced into the medium of interest during the sampling pr ogram (e.g., by improperly cleaning the split spoon sampler between individual soil samples). Trace quantities of these contaminant materials can consequently be captured in a sample and lead to false positive analytical results, and, ultimately, to an incorrect assessment of the c ontaminant conditions associated with the Site. Decontamination of sampling equipment (e .g., bailers, pumps, tubing, soil and sediment sampling equipment) and field support equipm ent (e.g., drill rigs, vehicles) is therefore required prior to use to ensure that sampling cross-contamination is prevented, and that onsite contaminants are not carried off-site.Page 4 of 8 

# Section 2
Procedure

Equipment and personnel must be thoroughly decontaminated prior to entering the environmental investigation area (exclusion zone). Upon leaving the exclusion zone, all personnel and equipment must be thoroughly dec ontaminated. In addition, decontamination may be necessary from sample site to sample site within the exclusion zone. Proper decontamination of equipment and pers onnel will decrease the potential for cross
contamination and reduce adverse health effects.

This procedure describes the decontamination of personnel, soil drilling and sampling equipment, monitoring well installation and samp ling equipment, and tools used during field investigation activities. These procedures w ill remain in place unless modified by the site specific work plan or HSP.



## 2.1 Equipment List

The following is a list of equipment that may be needed to perform decontamination:

Plastic sheeting
Scrub brushes

Wash tubs

Buckets Scrapers, flat blade Hot water - high-pressure sprayer Disposal drums (55-gallon with secure lids) Sponges or paper towels Alconox/Liquinox detergent (or equivalent) Potable tap water Laboratory-grade deionized water Garden-type water sprayers Isopropyl alcohol Hand soap Hand wipes



## 2.2 Personnel Decontamination

A temporary personnel decontamination line w ill be set up around each exclusion zone. If contamination is not encountered, a dry decont amination station may be established which consists of discarding of disposable personal protective equipment (PPE).Page 5 of 8 If real-time monitoring instruments indicates th at contamination has been encountered, (i.e., action levels are exceeded requiring an upgrade fr om initial PPE levels), or if the initial PPE is Level B or C, a complete personnel decontamination station will be established.

The temporary decontamination line should provi de space to wash and rinse boots, gloves, and all sampling or measuring equipment and a c ontainer to dispose of used disposable items such as gloves, tape, or tyvek.

The decontamination procedure for field personnel in Level B or C PPE shall include (also see the HSP):

Glove and boot wash in an Alconox solution
Glove and boot rinse Duct tape removal Outer glove removal Coverall (Tyvek) removal Respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) removal Inner glove removal



## 2.3 Sampling Equipment Decontamination

The following steps will be used to decontaminate sampling equipment:

 Personnel will dress in suitable PPE to reduce personal exposure as required by
the HSP.

 Sampling equipment will be decontaminated prior to sampling activities, between sample locations, and at the end of sampling activities.

 Gross contamination on equipment will be scraped off at the sampling site.

 Equipment that will not be damaged by water will be placed in a wash tub containing Alconox or equivalent detergent along with tap water and scrubbed
with a scrub brush or similar tool.

 Equipment will be rinsed with tap water, then with isopropyl alcohol and then a
final rinse with deionized/distilled water.

 Groundwater sampling pumps will be “turned on” to allow detergent, tap water, and deionized/distilled water to cycle through the pump.

 The equipment will be allowed to air dry.

 Equipment that may be damaged by water will be carefully wiped clean using a sponge and detergent water and rinsed with deionized water. Care will be taken to prevent any equipment damage.

 Rinse and detergent water will be replaced with new solutions between borings or sample locations or as determined necessary by the field manager.

Following decontamination, equipment will be pl aced in a clean area or on clean plastic sheeting to prevent cross contamination. If th e equipment is to be transported, it will bePage 6 of 8 covered or wrapped in aluminum foil (prefe rred method), plastic sheeting, or heavy-duty trash bags to minimize potential airborne contamination.

The following guidelines will be followed in the fi eld at all times to ensure sample integrity and to prevent any cross contamination of samples.

 A clean pair of disposable latex gloves will be worn each time a different location is sampled and shall be changed each time the gloves come into contact with a material that has not been properly decontaminated.

 Sample collection activities will proceed from the least contaminated area to the
most contaminated area when this information is available.



## 2.4 Drilling and Heavy Equipment Decontamination

Drilling rigs will be decontaminated at the d econtamination station. The following steps may be used to decontaminate drilling and heavy equipment:

 Personnel will dress in suitable PPE to reduce personal exposure as required by
the HSP.

 Drilling and heavy equipment will be decontaminated prior to drilling, between locations, and at the end of drilling.

 Remove as much soil and debris as possible from augers and tools at the borehole or sampling location.

 Equipment that will not be damaged by water, such as drill rigs, augers, drill bits, and shovels, will be sprayed and then rinsed with potable water. Care will be taken to adequately clean the insides of the hollow-stem augers.

 If augers and tools are visibly contaminated, clean tools in large tub so that
decontamination water is contained.

 During soil sampling, the split spoon sampler and sample sleeves shall be decontaminated by the field crew and not the drilling contractor.

 After cleaning, place augers and tools on plastic sheeting on the cleaned bed of the support truck or the cleaned auger rack on the drill rig.

 Any decontamination water that was generated during drilling and heavy equipment decontamination shall be placed in 55-gallon drums or other suitable storage tank and the source of the water (i.e., borehole where tools were last used)

shall be marked on the drum or tank.

An alternative to the above would be to steam clean auger flights.



## 2.5 Waste Handling

Any waste generated during decontamination activities will be collected and handled according to the procedures outlined in the project work plan and the SOP for waste handling.Page 7 of 8 

## 2.6 Documentation

Sampling personnel will be responsible for doc umenting the decontamination of sampling and drilling equipment. The documentation will be recorded with waterproof ink in the sampler's field notebook with consecutively numbere d pages. The information entered in the field book concerning decontamination should include the following:

Decontamination personnel
Date and start/end times
Decontamination observations

Weather conditionsPage 8 of 8 

# Section 3 Quality Assurance Requirements

Equipment rinsate samples will be taken of the decontaminated sampling equipment to verify the effectiveness of the decontamination pro cedures. The sampling procedure will include rinsing deionized water through or over a dec ontaminated sampling tool (such as a split spoon sampler or groundwater pump) and collecti ng the rinsate water into the appropriate sample bottles, which will be sent to the labor atory for analysis.

# Section 1 Purpose and Scope

This document defines the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the handling of drums (primarily 55-gallon drums) during the Johnston Island site characterization report. This SOP serves as a supplement to the Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) that is included in the Work Plan (WP). This document is intended to be used together with the SAP and other

SOPs.c:\cliff\sop8.doc 2-1 SOP No. 8 

# Section 2 Hazard Awareness and Regulatory
Considerations

2.1 Hazard Awareness

A variety of work site activities may requi re unearthing, moving, lifting, overpacking, or sampling drums. Such activities are inherently hazardous and will always require special health and safety precautions. Drum handling presents numerous serious physical hazards including back injury, crushing, bruising, lacera tion, and severe trauma from mishandling. Drum contents may represent a fire or explos ion hazard or may consist of shock-sensitive or pyrophoric materials. Drum contents may be pre ssurized or be acutely toxic. Contents may be corrosive or irritating or have other toxic effects. Drum handling may, therefore, represent both physical and chemical hazards.



## 2.2 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

The appropriate PPE ensemble for drum ha ndling (and sampling) can vary significantly depending on the particular job conditions. Supp lied air equipment (SCBAs or airlines) may be appropriate respiratory protection for a wi de range of potential exposures. Full face airpurifying respirators may be adequate for ot her situations. Some drums may be safely handled without respiratory prot ection. The types of gloves, coveralls (coated or uncoated), boots, and other PPE can also vary based on hazard evaluation. The selection of the appropriate PPE should ultimately be performed by a Environet’s Health and Safety Officer, as part of the site-specific Health and Safety Plan (HSP).



## 2.3 Regulatory Considerations

The primary regulation dealing with drum hand ling in hazardous waste operations is section (J) of 29 CFR 1910.120. These OSHA regulations are unique to hazardous waste operations and do not cover all contingencies.c:\cliff\sop8.doc 3-1 SOP No. 8 

# Section 3 Drum Handling Procedures

3.1 Movement of Drums

The movement of full 55-gallon drums sole ly by hand is not recommended. Full drums should be moved with a dolly, hoist, sling, drum carrier, front end-loader, or other specialized device. A hydraulic drum grappler works well in certain applications. When drums are being moved, suspended, or overpack ed, personnel should stand well clear of the
drum.



## 3.2 Inspection of Drums

Prior to any handling, drums with unknown conten ts should be visually inspected for any words, symbols or labels on the drum surface wh ich would indicate the nature of its contents. A careful inspection should also be made for signs of leakage, rusting, corrosion, or bulging.
If the drum is of unusual construction or materi al, such as nickel or stainless steel, it may contain a particularly hazardous or sensitive ma terial. The type of drumhead and type of bungs (if any) should be inspected. If the whole drum lid is removable, it may be designed to contain solid materials. If it has a bung (or bungs ) it may be designed to contain a liquid. If the drum has a polyethylene or PVC liner, it ma y have been designed to contain a corrosive material. The top of the drum and the ar ea around the bungs should be inspected for any signs of crystal formation, staining or unusual materials on the surface. An experienced drum handler may, on occasion, lightly tap the exterior of the drum or rock it very lightly to attempt to determine the level or amount of mate rial in the drum. The drum may need to be photographed and numbered during the inspection process.



## 3.3 Spill Control During Drum Handling

Spills or leaks may occur during drum moveme nt and handling. Absorbent materials (clay, oil-dry, etc.) should be readily available in sufficient quantity to absorb spilled or leaked material. Where large spills could occur, a containment berm should be constructed around the area. A special pad for drum handling (concrete, HDPE, etc.) with containment berms may be required for certain types of work. Spill control should be performed by appropriately trained personnel wearing adequate PPE. A Spill Plan should be part of the HSP.c:\cliff\sop8.doc 3-2 SOP No. 8 

## 3.4 Opening Drums

A non-sparking bung wrench should be used for removing bungs to gain access to the drum interior. An appropriately rated fire extinguish er should be on hand ready for use to control incipient fires. OSHA specifies that a "suita ble shield" be placed between the employee and the drum being opened to protect the employ ee in case of accidental explosion. If there appears to be real danger of accidental expl osion, the drum should be opened remotely. One of the best ways to do this is to use a bron ze spike mounted on the end of a backhoe arm. The backhoe operator looks out through a clear explosion shield. The spike is used to punch a hole through the surface of the drum. A variet y of pneumatic and hydraulic remote drumoperating devices may be available. The efficien cy of their use must be evaluated on a caseby-case basis.



## 3.5 Drum Overpacking

Leaking fifty-five gallon drums are usually overpacked into an 85-gallon overpack drum. There are a variety of ways to perform this sa fely. It can be done by vertical suspension and insertion or it may be done by sliding the two drums together horizontally (laying down). If the drum to be overpacked is suspended, it must be firmly held by a scissor clamp or other positive gripping device.

Do not contact the drum with hands while it is suspended. Use a board or other device to steady or position the drum which is being overpack ed. If a forklift is us ed, the operator must have specialized training prior to performi ng drum overpacking. Horizontal overpacking may be a safer technique in some cases. However, great care must be exercised to avoid back injury when pushing the overpacked drum into an upright position.Page 1 of 6

# Section 1 Purpose

The purpose of this Standard Operating Proce dure is to provide guidance in preparing for

contingency or emergency situations during fi eld activities. Accidents can and do happen.

However, with adequate planning and prepare dness resulting consequence can be minimized or

prevented.

Emergency preparedness starts with advanced planning. It requires anticipation of potential

problems or hazards. Proper emergency preparedness involves use of the project health and safety

plan that may address emergency situations. It involves training, site orientation of personnel,

medical information of personnel, and availability of emergency equipment and services.



# Section 2 Types of Emergencies

There are three major categories of emergencies that can occur during hazardous waste site

investigations. They are medical emergencies, accidents, and safety equipment problems.



## 2.1 Medical Emergencies

Medical emergencies can be described as situations that present a significant threat to the health of

personnel involved in site investigations. These can result from chemical exposures, heat stress,

cold stress, and poisonous insect or snake bites. Medical emergencies must be dealt with

immediately and proper care should be administered. This may be in the form of first aid and

emergency hospitalization.



## 2.2 Accidents

Accidents can result from physical hazards on a s ite. These hazards can include tripping, catching,

cutting, and may be associated with debris on a site or heavy equipment used in the investigation.

Accidents may include:

• Broken bones;

• Burns;

• Sprains;Page 4 of 6 • Puncture wounds;

• Electrical shock; and

• Cuts by contaminated materials.

Appropriate medical attention must be provided to individuals involved in site investigations who

have suffered an accident.



## 2.3 Safety Equipment Problems

A source of emergency may develop due to malfunc tion or other problem associated with safety

equipment being utilized by investigative personnel. These types of problems may or may not result

in emergency situations. However, safety equipm ent problems must be corrected before proceeding

with field investigative activities. Safety problems may include:

• Leaks or tears in protective clothing;

• Failure of respiratory protective devi ces (SCBA, air-purifying respirators); and

• Encountering contaminants for which pres cribed protective equipment may not be

suitable.



# Section 3 Advance Planning

Advance planning should be practiced and include a ssessments of potential hazards or problems that

may be encountered. Emergency preparedness should be addressed in the site safety plan. It should

consider:

• Hazard evaluation;

• Emergency precautions;

• Hospital/poison control centers (telephone numbers);

• Emergency transportation systems (fire, police, ambulance);

o Emergency routes (maps, dry runs); and

o Escape routes:

 On-site escape (rapid evacuation to safe area)

 Off-site escape (best means of evacuation from site).Page 5 of 6 

# Section 4 Training

Investigative teams should include personnel with training in first aid and CPR. Personnel should

become familiar with site area, available equipment, and emergency services available.



# Section 5 Medical Surveillance Information

Personnel should be aware of any sp ecial medical problems of individual team members. This may

include allergies, insect stings, poison plants, penicillin, etc.



# Section 6 Emergency Equipment

Provisions should be made to have appropriate emergency equipment available and in proper

working condition. This equipment may include:

• First aid kits;

• Eye wash kits - fill and pressurize;

• Fire extinguisher;

• Emergency oxygen;

• Splints;

• Stretcher;

• Blankets; and

• Life vests.

Equipment should be checked before commencing site investigation activities, and defective

equipment repaired or replaced before performing site investigation. Provisions should be made for

redundant or back-up safety equipment.



# Section 7 Safety Practices

The following safety practices should be utilized to prevent or deal with emergency situations:

1. A continuous line-of-sight should be main tained between work party downrange and

personnel at the command post. Personne l stationed beyond the command post, inPage 6 of 6 order to maintain the line-of-sight with the work party, must be outfitted with

appropriate protective equipment.

2. Person should be dressed to same degree as the work party in order to provide an

extra man for any needed rescue effort.

3. Communications should be maintained and work party must have system for rapid

and clear distress call back to command post.

4. Check to insure that all preplanning information is correct.

5. Maintain thorough knowledge of expected weather conditions. Avoid working in

wet weather, electrical storms, extrem ely hot conditions, or extremely cold

conditions.

6. Thoroughly understand tasks to be performed.

7. Thoroughly brief all team members on all aspects of the tasks.



# Section 8 Documentation

Records should be maintained with regard to em ergency situations. Incident/Accident Reports

should be filed in the event of an incident or accident (see OP SOP-103).

## 2.4 LANDTEC GA-90 Landfill Gas Analyzer

WARNING: The LANDTEC GA-90 is not certified as intrinsically safe. The following procedures MUST NOT be done in a confined space such as vaults, excavations, indoors, or where there is any chance of sparking or ignition. Ensure that ex haust gas is safe, not blocked and properly vented away from you. Ensure no leaks are present. Unless all above conditions are maintained, an explosion could result causing serious injury or death.

Primary Calibration

The GA-90 is a portable scientific field instrument that does require factory calibration using various gas mixtures in an environmental chamber at recommended six month intervals under normal landfill usage. Factory calibration has been designed to give the best possible results over a wide range of conditions; however, the instrument’s accuracy can be improved in specific operating ranges by performing “field calibration.” At any time, the GA-90 can be reset by returning to the “factory settings.” This clears the GA-90 of any user calibration setting and restores the GA-90 to its original factory calibration.2-8 Field Calibration

Field calibration should be performed prior to taking a series of gas or pressure readings. It is important to field calibrate the GA-90 on-site af ter the instrument has stabilized at working temperature. Field calibration is menu-guided and can be completed in about 10 minutes.

To perform field calibration, the following items are required:

1. gas mixture of 50% CH 4 and 35% CO 2 ;

2. gas mixture of 2% O 2 and 98% N 2 ;

3. pressure regulators for the above cylinders cap able of regulating in the range of 0 to 5 pound-force per square inch gauge (psig) fitted with connectors suitable for 1⁄4 inch Tygon tubing;

4. regulator/flow meter capable of measuring in the range of 100 to 600 cubic centimeter (cc) per minute maximum with fitting suitable for 1⁄4 inch Tygon tubing or LANDTEC regulator which is set to deliver the required flow; and

5. interconnecting lengths of 1⁄4 inch Tygon tubing.

Gas Calibration

1. Connect the calibration gas cylinder to the pressure regulator.

2. Connect the sample input line.

3. Connect a second 24 inches of 1⁄4 inch Tygon tubing to the exhaust nozzle of the GA-90. Direct exhaust away from you and out of the immediate area.

4. Turn the calibration gas cylinder valve two turns.

5. If using LANDTEC regulator, no flow meter is required. Turn off cylinder valve.

6. If not using the LANDTEC regulator, adjust the regulator discharge pressure to 2 psig and the flow meter to 300 cc per minute. Pinch th e gas supply hose that will attach to the GA-90. The regulator discharge pressure should not clim b greater than 5 psig. Turn off the cylinder
valve.

7. Turn unit on by pressing the red on/off key. The warning screen will appear for five
seconds. This is a reminder that the GA-90 is not to be used in confined areas such as vaults, excavations, or indoors.

8. Press Key 0 to go to the Main Menu Screen. All GA-90 functions are accessed from the

# Section 4 Maintenance Procedures

4.1 Horiba Multiparameter Probe

Sensor Probe

After use, wash with distilled water and wipe off all contamination. Pour about 20 ml of distilled water into the probe cap, install it on the sensor probe, and store in the carrying case.

In order to use the instrument regularly for a l ong time, store it after wiping off all contamination from the cable, sensor probe, and sensors.

TEMP/COND/TURB Unit

1. To remove contamination, remove the lid from the cell.

2. Clean the unit in distilled water. If the unit is severely contaminated, use an absorbent cotton
to remove contamination.

3. Attach the lid to the cell block before storage.

pH/ORP Sensor

To remove contamination, use a piece of gau ze dampened with detergent and wipe off the

contamination.

For long-term storage, remove the sensor from the sensor probe and check that the internal solution replenishment port is closed. Then, attach a seal to the liquid junction and attach the rubber caps before storage.

For monthly maintenance, replace the internal solution as described below:

1. remove the sensor from the sensor probe using a sensor spanner;

2. open the internal solution replenishment rubbe r stopper and remove the internal solution with a syringe;

3. inject new internal solution to the level near the rubber stopper. Be careful to avoid air bubbles from coming in the solution; and

4. attach the sensor to the sensor probe.

DO Sensor

To remove contamination, wipe off contamination with gauze to avoid damage to the diaphragm.4-2 For long-term storage, remove the DO sensor from th e sensor probe using a sensor spanner. Set the supplied short socket and store the sensor in a cool (0 to 10 oC), dark place.

To replace the diaphragm:

1. Cut a diaphragm sheet to about 3 x 3 centimeters (c m) in size. Do not get any fingerprints or dust on the center part of the square.

2. Detach the DO sensor from the sensor probe.

3. Detach the protection tube that holds the diaphragm in place.

4. Detach the diaphragm retaining ring and diaphr agm. Replace the diaphragm retaining ring and diaphragm if damaged or no longer functional.

5. Set the sensor in the replacement stand and fill th e internal solution with the attached syringe until the sensor tip is soaked with the solution.

6. Fit the diaphragm retaining ring into the diaphr agm retaining plate. Then, lay the diaphragm over the sensor and carefully cover with the ring and plate so that the diaphragm does not wrinkle. Finally, remove the retaining plate.

7. Cut the draped edge of the diaphragm to the shape of the sensor.

8. Check that there are no bubbles inside the sensor and tighten the protection tube securely.

9. Check that the diaphragm is tightly attached and that it is not wrinkled.



## 4.2 MiniRAE 2000 Portable VOC Monitor

Battery Charging and Replacement

Recharge the MiniRAE 2000 before and after fieldw ork. A fully charged battery runs a MiniRAE 2000 monitor for 10 hours continuously. The char ging time is less than 10 hours for a fully discharged battery. The battery may be replaced in the field (in an area known to be non-hazardous) if required.

Replacing Battery Pack

1. Turn off the power of the MiniRAE 2000.

2. Unscrew the two battery compartment screws located on the bottom of the monitor and
remove the cover.

3. Remove the battery pack from the compartment.4-3 4. Replace with a fully charged spare battery pack inside the battery compartment. Make sure the battery pack is oriented properly inside the compartment.

5. Close the battery cover and tighten the two screws.

Replacing Alkaline Battery Adapter

1. Insert four fresh “AA” size alkaline batteries into the alkaline battery holder. Make sure that the polarity of the batteries is correct.

2. Follow the same procedure as described above to replace the battery holder.

Note: The internal charging circuit is designed to prevent charging to alkaline batteries.

PID Sensor and Lamp Cleaning/Replacement

Note: Normally the cleaning procedure is not need ed. Clean the PID sensor module, the lamp, and the lamp housing only when one of the following happened:

1. the reading is inaccurate even after calibration;

2. the reading is very sensitive to air moisture; or

3. a chemical liquid has entered into the unit and damaged the unit.

Use of the water trap filter will help prevent contamination.

To access the sensor components and lamp, gently unscrew the lamp-housing cap. Remove the sensor adapter with the gas inlet probe and the me tal filter together. Then, hold the PID sensor and pull straight out to avoid bending the electrical pins on the sensor. A slight gentle rocking motion helps to release the sensor.

To Clean the PID Sensor:

1. Place the entire PID sensor module into analytical grade methanol.

2. Dry the sensor thoroughly. Never touch the electrodes of the sensor by hand.

3. Use a methanol-soaked cotton swab to wipe off the lamp housing where it contacts the
sensor when the sensor is installed.

4. Turn over the sensor so that the pins point out and up and the sensor cavity is visible. Examine the sensor electrodes for any corrosion, damage, or bending out of alignment. The metal sensor electrode “fingers” should be flat and straight. If necessary, carefully bend the sensor fingers to ensure that they do not touc h the Teflon portions and that they are parallel

to each other. Make sure that the nuts on the sensor pins are snug but not over tight. If the sensor is corroded or otherwise damaged, it should be replaced.4-4 

## 4.3 GEM 2000 Gas Meter

Battery/Charging

The battery used in the GEM 2000 is a Nickel Meta l Hydride manufactured as an encapsulated pack from six individual cells. This type of battery is not susceptible to “memory effects” although it is not recommended that the unit be given short-term charges. When the flashing light emitting diode (LED) indicates “Charging Complete”, disconnect the charger.

The battery charger indicates when the unit is chargi ng, charged, or if there is a fault. A full charge should take approximately two hours.

Taking Probe Readings

Prior to going to the test site, ensure:

• the water trap has a clean and dry filter;

• the inlet-port particulate filter is clean and dry;

• a supply of spare filters is available;

• the battery has a good charge;

• the CH 4 , CO 2 , and O 2 readings have been auto-zeroed, without gas concentration present;

and

• check the span calibration with a known concentration calibration gas.

Travel to the site with the instru ment in the vehicle’s interior – not in the trunk or truck bed, where it may be subjected to extremes of temperature and possible shock damage. This may cause erroneous readings.

When moving around the site, protect the instrument from strong direct sunlight, heavy rain, or wind-chill. Strong direct sunlight can raise the temperature of the instrument beyond its operating range. If this occurs, the liquid crystal display (LCD) will appear almost black and the contrast setting cannot alter the contrast.



## 4.4 LANDTEC GA-90 Landfill Gas Analyzer

Battery/Charging

The internal battery pack of the GA-90 is designed to be recharged many times but as with all nickel-cadmium cells, certain rules should be observed or the batteries will not provide their full power or charge cycles.4-5 1. Discharge the batteries by setting logging function for a five minute interval and pump running to 90 seconds. The unit will run until batteries are discharged.

2. Charge batteries for at least 14 hours. LANDTEC chargers will not over charge batteries.

3. Never try to operate the GA-90 while batteries are charging.

4. When charging the battery overnight, lay the GA-90 flat or stand upright.

5. If the unit is to be stored for a long period, charge the internal batteries prior to storage. Recharge the unit every two months during storage and store flat or the O 2 sensor may ultimately dry out. This condition can be corrected with normal use.

Battery Shut-Off

A circuit within the GA-90 continuously monitors the battery voltage. If the battery voltage falls below a predetermined level, the unit will automatically shut itself off in order to prevent memory loss. If the unit shuts itself off, the unit requires a full charge of 14 hours to restore the battery to its
maximum level.

Battery Low Symbol

When the battery voltage drops below 60% capacity, a Battery Symbol will appear on the top right corner of the display screen. Approximately tw o hours of full pump power remain when the symbol is displayed.

Automatic Power-Off

The GA-90 has an automatic power-off time to conserve battery power. If no key is pressed for 15 minutes, the unit will automatically switch itsel f off (no stored readings will be lost).

Emergency Battery Power

In emergencies, the GA-90 may be operated with six “C” sized alkaline batteries. To use alkaline cells, remove the nickel-cadmium battery pack by using a Phillips screw driver on the back battery compartment and insert the “C” cells. DO NOT use the battery charger in conjunction with standard alkaline batteries. They can explode if re-charged.

Cleaning

The polycarbonate membrane panel may be wiped clean with soapy water and a damp cloth if required.

Dust Caps

Always keep the protective dust caps in place when ports and connectors are not in use.4-6 Filters

The unit is equipped with two filters. One filter is in-line in the sample hose and can be easily accessed by unscrewing the filter holder. The second filter is located just inside the sample port inlet. This filter can be accessed by unscrewing (counter-clockwise) the port using a screwdriver or small coin. Inspection/replacement instructions are as follows:

1. Both filters are sealed with o-rings. Periodically inspect the o-rings to check their condition. Replace the o-rings when they become nicked, cut, swelled, or otherwise damaged. DO

NOT OVERTIGHTEN O-RINGS.

2. Replace the filter when the sample pump has difficulty drawing a sample of gas into the unit or a “Flow Fail” message appears on the screen and a continuous audible warning is heard.

Storage and Travel

1. Store the GA-90 in its protective hard case when taking it from site to site.

2. When in use, keep the GA-90 in its protective soft case.

3. The unit should not be left out in direct sunlight for long periods of time as this will raise the temperature inside the case which could cause damage to components. The GA-90 may not operate or may operate erratically if it gets too hot. Let it cool before trying to use.5-1 

# Section 5 Documentation

The Field Team Leader and Site Health and Safe ty Officer will review calibration and maintenance records on a regular basis to ensure that required maintenance is being performed. These activities will be recorded in the field logbook to documen t that established calibration and maintenance procedures have been followed. Entries made on the equipment calibration log regarding the status of any field equipment will contain, but are not necessarily limited to, the following information:

• date and time of calibration;

• name of person conducting the calibration;

• type of equipment being serviced, and identification number (such as serial number);

• reference standard used for calibration (such as pH buffer solutions);

• calibration and/or maintenance procedure used; and

• other pertinent information.

Field instruments will be checked and calibrated pr ior to their use on site, and batteries will be charged and checked daily where applicable. E quipment that fails calibration and/or becomes otherwise inoperable during the field investigation will be removed from service and segregated to prevent inadvertent use. Such equipment will be properly tagged to indicat e that it should not be used until the nature of the problem can be dete rmined. Equipment requiring repair or recalibration must be approved for use by the Site Manager or Site Health and Safety Officer prior to placement back into service. Equipment that cannot be repaired or recalibrated will be replaced.

All field instruments will be properly protected ag ainst inclement weather conditions during the field investigation. Each instrument is specially designed to maintain its operating integrity during variable temperature ranges that are representa tive of ranges that will be encountered during expected working conditions. At the end of each wo rking day, all field equipment will be taken out of the field and placed in a dry room for overnight storage.5-2 This page is intentionally left blank.Table 5-1: Field Equipment Calibration and MaintenanceEquipment Calibration Procedure Calibration Frequency Maintenance ProcedureHoriba U22MultiparameterProbeTwo-point calibrate instrument.Auto calibrate instrument.Every six months.Before each day's use.Wash probe after every measurement.Replace ORP/pH sensor internal fluid monthly.Replace DO diaphragm as needed.Check battery charge and replace if necessary.MiniRAE 2000Factory calibrate instrument.Calibrate using 100 ppm isobutylene.Annually.Before each day's use.Charge battery daily.GEM 2000Factory calibrate instrument.Calibrate instrument using standard gas mixtures.Annually.Before each day's use.Charge battery daily.LANDTECGA-90Factory calibrate instrument.Calibrate instrument using calibration gases.Every six months.Before each day’s use.Charge battery daily.Replace filters and o-rings as necessary.

# Section 1 Purpose

The purpose of this Operating Procedure (OP) is to establish Environet, Inc. (EI) procedures and

responsibilities for the administration of a hear ing conservation program. A proper hearing

conservation program will reduce the risk of oc cupationally induced hearing loss and provide

education and guidance for the prevention of "lifestyle" induced hearing loss.



# Section 2 Hazard Information

Excessive noise exposure can cause both tem porary and permanent effects on hearing. The

temporary effects of excessive noise incl ude ringing in the ears, interference with

communication, and hearing threshold changes. The effect of long-term excessive noise

includes varying degrees of noise induced hearing loss.

The damaging effects of noise are dependent on the noise intensity (decibels), the time of

exposure, the noise frequency (Hertz), and i ndividual susceptibility. The Occupational Safety

and Health Administration (OSHA) Permissi ble Exposure Limits (PELs) and American

Conference of Governmental Indus trial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) set

exposure limits based on exposure per day (in hours) and sound intensity (in decibels A scale or

dBA). Exposures above these limits require use of hearing protection (plugs or muffs) to reduce

the sound level or the use of noise engineering controls to reduce the sound level.

It is known that noise intensity above 85 dBA for prolonged periods will induce hearing loss.

Eighty-five dBA represents a noise level where normal conversation is difficult and individuals

will be shouting or talking into the ear of the person to be understood. 

# Section 3 Requirements

OSHA regulations issued in late 1981 require a hearing conservation program for workers

exposed to 85 dBA as an 8-hour time-weighted average.

The OSHA regulation addresses several requireme nts for a good hearing conservation program.

These requirements are as follows:Page 4 of 6  Noise exposure monitoring

 Audiometric testing

 Hearing protectors

 Training programs

 Access to information

 Recordkeeping and posting



# Section 4 Responsibilities

Each employee has the responsibility to comply with all aspects of this Operating Procedure.

Managers with input from the Health and Safety Officer (HSO)'s and Site Safety Officer (SSO)'s

are responsible for enforcing the provisions of th is Operating Procedure as it applies to field

work. Scheduling of audiograms (accomplished through Medical Surveillance) and training are

the responsibility of the HSO and Corporate Health and Safety Officer (CHSO).



# Section 5 Noise Exposure Monitoring

The SSO with assistance from the HSO and/or CHSO will determine when noise monitoring is

required for jobs where EI employees are potentia lly exposed to excessive noise. The SSO/HSO

will perform noise monitoring as necessary a nd make recommendations to assure compliance

with Section 212.3 of this Operating Procedure. Engineering controls, ear protection, and

posting may be required to comply with Section 212.3. In jobs where EI is working in a client's

noisy area, EI personnel will comply with the clie nt's existing hearing conservation program. If

a client has a noisy area and has no hearing conser vation program, EI will establish a plan for its

employees and subcontractors to be in compliance with Section 212.3.



# Section 6 Training

All workers required to wear hear ing protectors will be trained in their proper use. In addition,

all workers who may be exposed to greater th an 85 dBA will be provided refresher training.Page 5 of 6 This training will include at least the following: (1) Effects of noise on hearing; (2) the purpose,

selection, fitting, use and care of hearing protector s; and (3) the purpose of audiometric testing

and an explanation of the test procedure.



# Section 7 Hearing Protectors

When hearing protectors are required the empl oyee must have received training on the proper

use. Proper noise reduction ratings will be a pplied by the HSO/CHSO to the noise in the

environment.

Hearing protectors act as barriers to reduce sound entering the ear. Noise Reduction Ratings

(NRR) for each product reflects the effectiveness of the protector chosen. Generally, muffs offer

a greater NRR (25-30 dBA) than plugs (15-25 dB A). Comfort is an important factor when

wearing ear protection over many hours; it is reco mmended to try different types of plugs or

muffs to determine the best combination of comfort and fit.



# Section 8 Audiometric Testing

Audiograms are administered upon employment and annually/biennially thereafter. The

audiograms are conducted by the medical clinics a pproved for EI physicals and must meet all the

applicable requirements (including Appendices C, D, and E of the OSHA Std. Title 29 Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.95). The local medical clinic in consultation with Greaney

Medical will comply with applicable provisi ons of Title 29 CFR 1910.95(g) with regard to

recordkeeping.Page 6 of 6 

# Section 9 Access to Information, Recordkeeping

Each office shall have a copy of Title 29 CFR 1910.95 available for any employee requesting

access to the standard. Employee training aids sh all also be available to any employee. All

noise monitoring data shall be retained for at l east two years and Greaney Medical shall maintain

the audiometric results for thirty years beyond the last date of employment.

# Section 4
Procedures

The following procedures for containerizi ng, preserving, handling, and shipping samples meet criteria as specified by United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) guidelines.



## 4.1 Sample Containers and Preservative

Only sample containers certified as clean by the manufacturer or laboratory and meeting contract requirements will be used for envir onmental sample collection. The containers and preservatives may be obtained from the contr acted analytical laboratory, their designated supplier, or a suitable supply company. Any pr eservative(s) required may be added to the container by the contracted analytical laborator y, field sampling team, and/or on-site chemist prior to, during or after sample collection (with the exception of volatiles).

Recommended sample containers, preservatives , and holding times for analytical methods, are shown in the Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP).



## 4.2 Container Labeling, Decontamination, and Field Packaging

The sample bottles will be labeled by the field sampling team. Collection time and date will be completed in the field by the sampler. The la bels will be filled out at the time of collection

and indicate:

• Activity name and/or number

• Unique sample number

• Sample time and date

• Chemical preservative used

• Sample type (grab, composite)

• Analyses required

• Filtered/unfiltered

• Comments or special precautions, as needed

• Sampler's initials

The sample label will be marked with a waterpr oof pen. Clear tape will be placed over labels before sampling to assure that the labels remain legible.

After sampling, the exterior of the sample cont ainers will be decontaminated according to the Decontamination SOP, and placed in cooler s dedicated for sample transportation. The collected samples will be immediately placed in a cooler packed with wet ice, or otherPage 7 of 11 appropriate means to bring the sample temperatur es to 4° ± 2°C. Samples will not be frozen. The temperature in the coolers will be mainta ined at approximately 4°C by adding sealed plastic bags containing blue ice (or an equivalent) to the coolers.



## 4.3 Chain of Custody

Official custody of samples will be maintained and documented from the time of collection until the time that valid analytical results ha ve been obtained or the laboratory has been released to dispose of the samples. The samp ling team will be responsible for initiating the original chain of custody (COC) and will sign and date the COC when relinquishing sample custody. The COC and sample labels will be check ed to verify that samples are accounted for and in good condition, and that no errors were made.

A sample is considered to be in a person's custody if any of the following conditions are met:

• The sample is in the person's physical possession.

• The sample is in the line of sight of the person after they have taken possession.

• The sample is secured by that person to prohibit any tampering.

• A sample is secured by the person in po ssession in an area which only authorized personnel can enter.



### 4.3.1 Tampering of Sample Containers If, at any time after samples have been secured, custody seals on the cooler are identified as having been tampered with, this procedure will be followed to ensure that sample integrity has not been compromised.

• Check cooler to verify the temperature is between 2°C to 6°C.

• Check with personnel having access to sa mple coolers to verify possible inadvertent tampering.

• Check every sample container for any si gns of tampering, such as loose lids, foreign objects in containers, broken or leaking containers, etc.

• Verify adequate and appropriate packaging.

• Document findings of the incident in the sample manager's logbook.

If it is determined that malicious tampering of samples has occurred and/or it is believed that sample integrity has been compromised, the s ubcontractor will immediately contact the site

manager.

If it can be determined that sample integrity has not been compromised based on the above criteria, document findings in a logbook.Page 8 of 11 

### 4.3.2 Chain of Custody Form A three-page carbonless COC form will be used. A COC is shown at the end of this SOP. The original and second (or yellow) copy will be included with the samples to be shipped enclosed in a plastic bag and taped inside the lid of the cooler. The third (or pink) copy will be sent to the Environet Data/Sample Manager, and the photocopy of the original will remain on file with the field personnel. The contr act laboratory will sign as having received the samples and return the yellow copy of the COC to Environet for verification by the Environet Data/Sample Manager. The yellow and pink c opies will then be matched and filed to complete the chain of custody procedure for the field sampling efforts. The white (original) will be placed in the appropriate data pack age by the laboratory. The COC will include the following information:

• Unique sample number and sample location

• Project number

• Date and time of sample collection

• Signature or initials of collector or field custodian

• Laboratory designation

• Sample matrix

• Condition of sample cooler on receipt at the laboratory (includes temperature inside the cooler)

• COC number

• Signature and date blocks for personnel relinquishing or receiving sample custody

• Space for additional comments

• Name and phone number of emergency contact person

• Analyses requested

• Preservatives added to the sample

• Any nonconformance with this SOP identified by the laboratory



## 4.4 Field Data Documentation

Field descriptions, measurements, and observati ons will be recorded on the appropriate field data forms or logbook in accordance with the SA P and appropriate SOPs. The original data forms will be collected and filed on-site by the de signated staff. Data will also be recorded in field logbooks. Field data will be filled out at the time a sample is taken and will include, but not be limited to, the following information:

• Sampling activity name and number

• Sampling point name and number

• Sample number

• Name(s) of collector(s) and others present

• Date and time of sample collection

• Sample container tag/label number (if appropriate)

• Preservative(s) usedPage 9 of 11 • Requested analyses

• Sample matrix

• Filtered/unfiltered

• Designation of QC samples (ONLY for MS and MSD)

• Collection methods

• COC numbers

• Field observations and measurements during sampling (comment section)

• Signature of responsible observer



## 4.5 Packaging and Shipping

Samples will be packaged properly to prevent breakage of containers, leakage of contents, and to ensure the samples arrive at the analy tical laboratory within the required temperature range of 2°C to 6°C. The following procedur es will be followed during the packaging and shipping process.

• Check container lids and tighten as necessary.

• Wrap individual sample containers, if glass, with bubble wrap.

• Place sample containers in re-sealable plastic bags as secondary containment.

• Place sufficient amounts of bubble wrap in the bottom and sides of the shipping cooler to prevent movement of contents.

• Add double bagged ice to the cooler in qua ntities adequate to maintain required temperature of 2°C to 6°C. Line the botto m, sides and top of cooler to ensure proper shipment temperature. (Using six pieces of blue ice per 48 qt. cooler is not uncommon)

• Line the inside of the area created by the ice placement with a plastic trash bag and place the wrapped samples inside in an upright position.

• Tie shut the trash bag holding the samples.

• Fill excess space in the cooler with packi ng material (i.e. bubble wrap) to prevent movement of sample containers.

• Review the previously completed COC pa perwork and sample packaging before proceeding.

• The white and yellow portions of the COC are then placed inside a plastic bag, and taped inside of the cooler lid.

• Close the cooler lid and seal with appropriate packaging tape in a manner to prevent inadvertent opening during shipment.

• Place two custody seals on the cooler in se parate areas that would indicate if tampering had occurred.

The following markings will be placed on the top of the cooler:

• This end upPage 10 of 11 • Fragile

• Next day priority service

• Shipment delivery address

• Sender's return address

• A completed shipping bill should be made fo r the carrier of choice and taped to the top of the cooler using the envelope provided by the shipper.

• The express carrier should be called to arrange pick-up of the cooler(s), or
delivered to the nearest carrier's office.

• The pink copy of the shipping bill should be retained by the sample manager for attachment to the pink copy of the corresponding COC(s).

An express carrier will be used to aid in meeting sample holding time requirements. The Environet Site Manager or designee is responsible for verifying that samples collected by the field team have been properly packed in i ce chests and for verifying the accuracy and completeness of sample labels and COC forms.

The following is a summary of steps to be followed to verify that paperwork is complete:

• Prepare sample labels prior to sampling for sampling crew.

• Receive samples from decontamination/sampling crews.

• Check or complete the COC form(s).

• Pack samples in cooler and verify COC accuracy.

• Verify all labels and forms to meet shipping requirements.

• Photocopy the COC(s) and retain th e photocopy and pink copy for Environet

files.

• Send original COC(s) (white and yello w copy) to the contract laboratory.

• Photocopy field notes if required and send with COC.

• Obtain pink copy of shipping bill and staple to pink portion of corresponding COC(s).

The investigation-derived waste (IDW) from the sampling activities will consist of PPE, miscellaneous waste, and decontamination a nd purge water taken from the two existing groundwater monitoring wells from outside of the RHSF.



## 3.1 PPE and Miscellaneous Waste

Incidental waste including PPE (e.g., nitrile gloves), will be generated due to site activities and may have been in direct contact with site gr oundwater. Miscellaneou s waste, including paper towels, plastic sheeting, plastic drink bottles, and disposable sampling equipment will also be generated.



## 3.2 Decontamination and Purge Water

Decontamination water will be generated as a result of decontamination of field equipment and PPE. The collected purge water is generated during sampling activities from monitoring wells
that are not located inside the RHSF tunnels. The purge water is not expected to be contaminated and a low amount of purge water is expected to be gene rated (approximately two drums per monitoring event). The decontaminati on and purge water will be collected and stored in 55-gallon drums. The IDW decontamination a nd purge water is assume d to be non-hazardous waste and will be transported offsite to an on-island treatment facility for disposal.Waste Management Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Pearl Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Identification of Waste Streams September 2010

# Section 4 Waste Management and Disposal

IDW will be managed in accordance with United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Guidance for Management of IDW dur ing Site Inspections (1992) and Procedure I-A-6 IDW Management of the Project Procedures Manual United States Navy Environmental Restoration Program Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific Division (DON, 2007). IDW will be disposed of in accordance with applicable State, Federal, or local regulations.



## 4.1 IDW Storage

The IDW will be stored in 55-gallon drums at th e Site. Drums will be placed upright on pallets before the drums are stored to minimize damage to drums from weathering and exposure to the surrounding environment. Environet will store th e IDW drums in dry, shaded areas and covered with impervious plastic sheeting.

All spent PPE and miscellaneous waste will be disposable and managed as non-hazardous solid
waste. All PPE and miscellaneous waste will be collected in plastic trash bags and disposed on a daily basis in the proper on-site trash receptacle.



## 4.2 Waste Characterization

Waste characterization of IDW water will be perf ormed to determine the method and location of disposal. Environet will characterize all wastes prior to tran sport and disposal.

Groundwater collected as part of the monitoring will be analyzed for volatile organic compounds (EPA-8260B), total petroleum hydr ocarbons-diesel range organics (EPA-8015B), total petroleum hydrocarbons-gasoline range organics (EPA -8260B), dissolved lead (EPA-6020), and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (EPA-8270C SIM) . The results of the sampling activities
will be used to characterize the IDW water.

Environet will evaluate the results for the sample s collected to determine the appropriate waste
class. Constituent concentrations found in these results will be compared to the regulatory levels
as found in 29 Code of Federa l Regulations 1910.1200, and to the waste acceptance criteria of the respective waste disposal facility. Closure requiremen ts under Resource Conservation Recovery Act are not applicable to the Site. Based on analytical results of samples collected during previous monitoring events, Environet antic ipates that the purge water generated during field activities will be predominantly non-hazardous.



## 4.3 Transportation and Disposal

Environet will oversee and coordinate all phases of waste removal and disposal including, but not limited to, the following:

 waste classification;

 waste loading;Waste Management Plan Long-Term Monitoring, Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility Harbor, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i Waste Management and Disposal September 2010

4-2  preparation of shipping papers;

 waste transportation;

 waste disposal; and

 waste tracking.

All IDW drums will be loaded into end-dump trucks or equivalent State of Hawai‘i Department of Transportation-approved transport. The trucks will be covered with tarps, and provided with the proper shipping papers for tran sport to the appropriate disposal facility. All loads will be logged and tracked to ensure that each load arrives at its re spective destination. All waste generated at the Site will be transported and di sposed of in accordance with applicable Federal and State laws and regulations.



## 4.4 Disposal Facilities

All waste at the Site is expected to be non-hazardous. The IDW w ill be disposed of according to analytical testing and acceptance by the receiving facility. Environet will prepare a profile for each waste stream to be disposed of and submit th e profile to the receiving facility for approval.

In the event that hazardous waste is found, Envi ronet will designate an appropriate disposal facility at that time. The determination of an appropriate hazardous waste landfill depends on the unit costs determined under a comp etitive bidding system that is affected by the overall quantity to be generated. At this point, no hazardous waste is expected to be found; therefore, no hazardous waste quantity has been estimated.
