GROUNDWATER MONITORING PLAN
KOPPERS COMPANY, INC. SUPERFUND SITE
MORRISVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Groundwater Monitoring Plan has been prepared using information presented in the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved Performance Standards
Verification Plan (Final Design Report, Cummings/Riter, December 1994) describing the
procedures to be used to assess attainment of groundwater remedial action performance
standards for the Koppers Company, Inc. Superfund site (Koppers site) in Morrisville,
North Carolina. The Performance Standards Verification Plan was developed pursuant to
Task V of the Statement of Work (SOW). A brief history of the Koppers site is provided
below.
1.1 BACKGROUND
Koppers acquired property, including the site area in I 962, from Unit Structures and
produced glue-laminated wood products. A wood treating plant, consisting of a single
treatment cylinder, was operated in the southeast section of the property from 1968 to
1975. Wood was treated using the Cellon process, which consisted of pressure injection
of pentachlorophenol (penta) in a liquefied butane carrier. The Cellon treatment process
was discontinued and dismantled in 1975, after which treated wood was received from
other sources.
On March 31, 1989, the USEP A placed the Koppers site on the National Priorities List
(NPL). Pursuant to an Administrative Order on Consent dated April 21, 1993, Beazer
East, Inc. (Beazer) conducted a remedial investigation (RI) for which soils, groundwater,
sediments, surface water and fish were sampled and analyzed. The RI report identified
penta, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/PCDF),
and phenolic compounds as constituents of interest (COi) for groundwater.

The Record of Decision (US EPA, December 23, 1992) (ROD) established aqueous-phase
carbon adsorption for groundwater as a component of the remedial action. A Unilateral
Administrative Order (Order) for remedial design and remedial action (RD/RA) was
issued to Beazer by the USEPA on April 21, 1993 (USEPA Docket No. 93-09-C).
Construction of the groundwater extraction and treatment system commenced April I,
1996. The Final Construction Inspection of the groundwater treatment system was
conducted December 18, 1996.
1.2 GROUNDWATER MONITORING PLAN
The following sections list the performance standards identified in the SOW and describe
activities to verify attainment of the performance standards for groundwater extraction
prior to treatment. The Operation and Maintenance Manual for the Groundwater
Extraction and Treatment System (RUST Environment and Infrastructure, January 1997)
describes the activities developed to verify performance standards for treated
. groundwater.

2. Treatment of groundwater by carbon adsorption to remove site constituents.
3. Discharge of groundwater from the groundwater treatment system in compliance
with final treatment standards developed during the remedial design and the
substantive requirements of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) permitting program under the Clean Water Act.
4. Compliance testing to ensure that all performance standards are met in accordance
with the Performance Standards Verification Plan.
Performance Standards 2 and 3 are being met by groundwater treatment with the on-site
groundwater treatment system. This Groundwater Monitoring Plan addresses
Performance Standard I and the portion of Performance Standard 4 associated with
verification of attainment of Performance Standard I.

3.0 GROUNDWATER MONITORING ACTIVITIES
3.1 WATER LEVEL MEASUREMENT
Groundwater level data will be used to verify that groundwater capture is attained at the
wells with concentrations of COi exceeding cleanup standards. Water levels will be
measured at on-site and near off-site monitoring wells to assess the influence of pumping
Well PW-I on local groundwater levels. Groundwater levels will be measured at those
monitoring wells identified on Figure I in order to provide a comprehensive data base of
water level information for the site.
Water level data were collected prior to start-up of the groundwater extraction system on
March 26 and March 27, 1996, and will be collected quarterly after start-up for the first
year of monitoring. After the first year of monitoring, Beazer will hold discussions with
the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources
(NCDEHNR) and USEPA to reevaluate groundwater level monitoring requirements.
Measurement points and collection events may be decreased or increased based on the
reevaluation. Groundwater level data will be used to produce potentiometric maps
depicting the capture zone of the extraction well.
3.2 GROUNDWATER SAMPLING
Groundwater samples will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the reduction in the
constituents of concern with time. The monitoring wells to be sampled are as follows:
Well Type Sample Location
Pumping Well PW-I
Shallow Wells CI0A, Cl2A, Cl4A, C27A, C28A, M-4
Intermediate Wells CIB,C9B,CI0B,CIIB,Cl3B,Cl4B,
Cl5B, C27B, C29B
3.2.1 Groundwater Sampling Frequency
Groundwater samples were collected before the groundwater extraction and treatment
system was started to establish baseline groundwater conditions. Baseline groundwater
samples were collected March 27 and March 28, 1996. Wells with baseline penta

concentrations greater than I part per billion (ppb) are to be sampled after six months of
system operation and again after one year. Wells with baseline penta concentrations
below I ppb are to be sampled after one year of system operation. After one year of
operation, Beazer will hold discussions with the NCDEHNR and USEPA to reevaluate
groundwater monitoring requirements.
3.2.2 Groundwater Analytical Parameters
All groundwater samples will be analyzed for penta and 2,4-dichlorophenol as well as for
field parameters such as pH, temperature, and specific conductivity. Additionally,
groundwater samples collected as part of the annual sampling of wells with baseline
concentrations of penta greater than I ppb will be submitted for PCDD/PCDF analysis.
USEPA Method 8270 (modified with single ionization monitoring) will be used for the
penta and 2,4-dichlorophenol analysis. USEP A Method 8290 will be used for the
PCDD/PCDF analysis. As approved April 8, 1996 by USEPA Region IV (Ms. Beverly
Hudson) and NCDEHNR (Ms. Judy Garrett) dioxin will be monitored as 2,3,7,8-TCDD
for surface water discharge monitoring.
3.2.3 Groundwater Quality Assurance
Quality assurance requirements for sampling and analysis of groundwater are
documented in the USEPA approved Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) (Chester
Environmental, June 1993). Equipment blanks, field duplicates, and matrix spike/matrix
spike duplicate samples will be collected at the rates prescribed in the QAPP. Data
quality levels will be Level III or Level IV, as defined in the QAPP, with approximately
5 percent of all laboratory analyses meeting Level IV USEP A Contract Laboratory
Program deliverable requirements. After one year of operation, Beazer will hold
discussions with the NCDEHNR and USEPA to reevaluate groundwater monitoring data
quality assurance requirements.

1.0 INTRODllCTION
I.I Site Location
Beazer East has installed a Groundwater Extraction and Treatment Svstem at the Koppers
Superfund Site in Morrisville, Nonh Carolina. The site is bounded by Church Street, McCimmon
Road, and State Route 54. Drawing 34321-S-0 I contains the site map for the facility.
1.2 Facility Description
The proposed treatment system was developed to initiate control and removal of wood treating
residuals which have impacted local groundwater. The groundwater will be recovered from an
· on-site extraction well using a submersible pump. The extracted groundwater will be pumped
into an equalization tank located in the treatment system building. From the equalization tank, the
groundwater will be pumped through two media filters installed in parallell. The filtered
groundwater will then flow through two activated carbon adsorbers installed in series and then
discharged to a site drainage ditch under the substantive provisions of NPDES permitting
requirements. The system is designed to operate unattended with minimal operation and
maintenance.
This manual is presented as a guide for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the Beazer East
Koppers Company Super-fund Site Groundwater E:>.1raction and Treatment System in Morris\'ille.
Nonh Carolina. The procedures recommended in this manual represent the best available
technology currently in use for activated carbon systems. Process requirements and operating
procedures may change with time to accomodate improvements in technology or changes in site
conditions.
Controls and alarms have been calibrated for proper operation of the treatment system. Remote
monitoring and telemetry transmitters have also been installed.

2.0 REGULA TORY REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Substantive NPDES Permit Requirements
Substantive NPDES discharge criteria for treatment system effluent were issued by the North
Carolina Department of Environmental Health and Natural Resources (NCDEHNR) and are
presented as Appendix A. These discharge criteria consist of effluent limitations, monitoring
parameters, and monitoring frequency for the treatment system. In general, the substantive permit
requirements call for the instanteous measurement of flow with reporting of the parameters listed
in Table 2-1 at the indicated frequency.
Table 2-1
Substantive NPDES Permit Requirements
Parameter Flow Phenol Dioxin Pentachloro-Chronic
(2,3,7,8-phenol Toxicity
TCDD)
Sample Frequency 2/Month 2/Month Quarterly 2/Month Quarterly
Sample Type Continuous Grab Grab Grab Grab
Discharge Limits None None None 20.0 ug/1 NIA
During construction of the groundwater treatment system, a discrepancy between the monitoring
requirements presented in the Record of Decision (ROD) and the substantive NPDES discharge
criteria for dioxins/furans was identified. While the ROD required that concentrations of
dioxins/furans be reported as Toxic Equivalent Concentration (TEC) of the 2,3,7,8-
tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (2,3, 7,8-TCDD) congener, the NCDEHNR effluent discharge criterion
for dioxins/furans is monitoring cif 2,3,7,8-TCDD (per Ms. Judy Garrett, NCDEHNR, April 8,
1996), which is consistent with enforcement of NPDES permits issued under NCDEHNR
jurisdiction.
2.2 Additional Requirements
The ROD for the Koppers Company, Inc. Superfund Site includes a performance standard for
2,4-dichlorophenol of20 µg/1. Consequently, effluent monitoring will include 2,4-dichlorophenol.
Project\34321.000 2 -I
3.0 COMPONENT AND PROCESS DESCRIPTION
3.1 General
The groundwater extraction and treatment system was designed to extract and treat groundwater
containing wood treatment residuals (phenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, pentachlorophenol, and dioxin)
based on the requirements of the Record of Decision and Statement of Work
The following sections contain a component and process description that describes the major
equipment and components of the groundwater extraction and treatment system. The description
has been divided into the following sections:
• Groundwater Extraction System,
• Groundwater Treatment System,
• Groundwater Discharge Monitoring, and
• Controls Summary
A general layout of the groundwater extraction and treatment system is shown on Rust drawing
34321-S-01. The process and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) for the treatment system is shown
as drawing 34321-I-01. Because the system is intended to be low maintenance with periodic
monitoring, components of a remote alarm notification system have been included. The
components will connect to a remote terminal unit or process logic controller (PLC) to be
provided by Beazer East. Either system will notify Beazer East personnel of the nature of the
alarm condition. A summary table of the major instrumentation is provided in Appendix B.
3.2 Groundwater Extraction System
The extraction system consists of one extraction weU with an estimated yield of 5 gpm. The
extraction weU is equipped with a submersible pump designed to transfer groundwater from the
extraction weU to the equalization tank. The extraction well is enclosed within a concrete vault
which contains well pump level controls, pressure gauge, sample valve, gate valve, flow
transmitter, flow totalizer, gate valve, check valve, and ball valve.

3.2.1 Extraction Well Pump
The extraction pump is used to extract groundwater for treatment. The pump is Grundfos Redi-
Flo4 Environmental submersible pump, Pump Type 5E5 1/3 HP, stainless steel construction, 230
volt, single phase. The extraction pump is designed to operate at a flow rate of 5 gpm at a total
dynamic head of 80 feet.
The operation of the extraction well is based on the presence of a sufficient level of groundwater
in the well. The extraction well pump is controlled by a pressure transducer installed within the
well which opens or closes electrical switches depending upon the depth of water in the well. The
switches serve to start the pump on high water level in the well and to stop the pump on low
water level. The extraction well pump is normally operated from a Hand/Off/ Auto switch located
on the treatment system control panel. A power switch to control the pump is also located in the
well vault.
3.2.2 Well Vault
The well vault consists of a 4 foot square by 5 foot deep concrete box with 4 foot by 4 foot
hinged double door aluminum covers to provide full access to components within the vault. The
well vault has been backfilled with gravel to within 3 feet of the top of the vault to eliminate • confined space entry issues. The well vault contains the discharge piping and associ.ated fittings.
The vault also contains the following pump control and monitoring instruments:
• Flow Transmitter
• Level Switches
• Flow Totalizer
• Liquid Detector
• Pressure Indicator
• Sample Valve
• Check valve
• Ball valve
• Gate Valves

The groundwater flow from the well is measured by a flow transmitter. The transmitted signal is I
sent to a flow indicator in the treatment system building. The flow indicator can display flow rate,
total flow, and peak flow and can transmit the total flow to a remote location via RS 232 serial I
communication. The vault also contains a mechanical flow totalizer to allow a reading of the total
flow at the well vault. A sample valve has been installed in the extraction well discharge piping
for obtaining groundwater treatment system influent samples. A liquid detector is provided in the I
. secondary containment piping from the vault to the treatment building to detect leakage of the
conveyance pipe.

Equalization Tank
Two Transfer Pumps
Manual globe valve for flow control
Rotameter flow rate indicator
Activated carbon adsorber units
Differential pressure transmitter
Flow transmitter
Flow totalizer
Sump Pump
The treatment system is designed for a maximum flow rate of 10 gpm of groundwater flow. The
extracted groundwater will be pumped from the well into the equalization tank. The groundwater
from the equalization tank will be pumped through a manual globe valve and rotameter to control
the flow rate from the transfer pumps. The water will then flow through two media filters
operated in parallel and then through two activated carbon adsorbers operated in series prior to
discharge to an on-site drainage ditch.

I
I
Groundwater from the extraction system is fed into a 1,500 gallon, closed top, flat bottom, high-
density polyethylene equalization tank. If the liquid level in the tank drops to the set point low
level (LS301L) which is 12 inches above the bottom of the tank, the transfer pumps will stop.
Once the liquid level in the tank reaches the high level set point (LS-30IH) which is 24 inches
above the tank bottom, the lead transfer pump will start. If the liquid level in the tank continues
to rise past the high level set point to the high-high level (LS-301HH) which is 36 inches above
the tank bottom, the lag transfer pump will start. If the liquid level in the tank continues to rise
past the high-high level to the alarm set point (LS-301 A) which is 42 inches above the tank
bottom, the extraction well pump will stop and an alarm light will illuminate on the treatment
system control panel. Level switch LS-301L acts as a reset for the alarm switch LS-301A.
3.3.2 Transfer Pumps
Groundwater from the equalization tank is fed through the two media filters and two activated
carbon adsorbers by one of two transfer pumps. The pumps are Teel Water Systems Model
3P687B jet pumps with 1 1/2 HP, 230 volt, single-phase motors. The two pumps are placed in
parallel; one acts as a standby to the other. In case of any mechanical failure of the transfer pump
in operation, the flow will automatically be switched to the standby pump.
Project\34321.000 3-4
3.3.3 Manual Control
A globe valve and rotameter are installed down stream of the transfer pump to control the rate of
flow through the treatment system. In order to minimize cycling of the well pump, the flow of the
process pump should be set approximately IO percent higher than the flow rate of the well pump
using flow control valve FCV-30 I and with observation of flow indicator FI-30 I.
3. 3. 4 Media Filters
The media filtration system consists of two Ametek Model #20 Big Blue filter housings ( with
pressure relief) installed in parallel. The housings are fabricated of polypropylene and have a
maximum pressure rating of 90 psi. The filter media consists of Ametek Model PP30-BB (30-
micron) series polypropylene pleated cartridges with a rated flow capacity of 25 gpm. The
filtration system also consists of a pressure gauge upstream of the filters, a pressure relief valve
with a set pressure of 7 5 psi, and a differential pressure transmitter. The flow from the relief
valve (PRV-30 I) is directed back to the equalization tank. The signal wiring from the differential
pressure transmitter leads to the electrical panel for connection to a remote terminal unit or PLC
to be supplied by Beazer. The transmitter would provide a remote operator with a reading of the
pressure drop across the filtration system and an alarm to provide an indication of filter media
change-out. The alarm set point is adjustable, and should be set between IO and I 5 psi (Ametek
recommends at least IO psi). Start-up tests indicated that the process pumps will provide feed
pressures of approximately 60 psi upstream of the media filters at flow rates of between 3 and I 0
gpm using flow control valve FCV-30 I to adjust flow.
3.3.5 Activated Carbon Adsorbers
The activated carbon adsorption system consists of two Geopure Continental HPL I 000 vessels
installed in series. Each vessel is 42-inches in diameter, and 85-inches high, and weighs about
1,800 pounds (empty). Each vessel contains 1000 pounds of granular activated carbon. The
vessels are rated for a maximum flow rate of 50 gpm and a maximum operating pressure of I 00
psi. The activated carbon adsorption system includes air vents on each vessel, pressure relief
valves, pressure gauges at the discharge line of each vessel, sample valves at the discharge of each
vessel, and vessel drain valves. Pressure relief valves will activate at 75 psi, with discharge from
the relief valve to the equalization tank. The vessels are interconnected to the piping system and
to each other by hoses. Inlets and outlets are one-inch diameter schedule 80 PVC and have been
fitted with quick-disconnect Karn-lok® couplings. The Kam-lok® hose connections permit the
operator to reverse the lead/lag orientation of the vessels without moving the vessels and to easily
prepare the carbon vessels for backwashing.
3.3.6 Sump Pump
The treatment building is constructed over a concrete block sump which has a volume capacity
equal to that of the equalization tank to act as secondary containment for the tank. A Meyers
model SP25AL, 1/4 horsepower sump pump is located in a recessed portion of the sump floor

4.0 OPERATION AND CONTROL PROCEDURES
This section provides operational prncedures and describes controls associated with the
groundwater extraction and treatment system. Section 4.1 describes the start-up procedures for
the system, Section 4.2 describes the shut-down procedures for the system, Section 4.3 describes
change-out of the media filters, and Section 4.4 describes change-out of the spent activated
carbon.
The primary objective of the treatment system is to ensure that the effluent meets the substantive
NPDES requirements and the treatment performance standard for 2,4-dichlorophenol set in the
Record of Decision. Presented below is a list of objectives that the operator should keep in mind
as guidelines in maintaining the treatment system.
I. Routinely maintain equipment in the treatment system to lengthen their useful life and
reduce down time. The recommended maintenance schedules will be available in the
operating manuals provided by vendors (included in Appendix C) of the various pieces of
equipment and a system check list is provided in Section 6.0 and in Appendix D.
2. Prevent accidents and injuries. Operators must understand the dangers associated with
each piece of equipment. This information is available in the operating manuals provided
by vendors.
Specific operation and maintenance schedules for each major piece of equipment are supplied by
the vendor in the appropriate equipment manuals. In addition, troubleshooting guidelines are also
supplied by the vendors. The manufacturers and equipment numbers for the major components
of the treatment system are provided in Appendix B.
4.1 Start-up Sequence
Initial start-up and adjustment of the treatment system must be coordinated with Beazer East
project managers and regulatory agencies. Motor rotation, valve position, transducer settings,
tlowmeter operation, differential pressure switch settings, and extraction well controls will be set
during the initial start-up. These parameters will be adjusted and tuned during the initial
performance testing of the system. Whenever the system has been shut-down for a sustained
period, the following tasks should be performed.
4.1.1 Start-up Tasks
The operator(s) should follow the following procedures prior to start-up of the groundwater

Observation and recording of the pressure readings on gauge PI-301 will provide the operator of
an indication for change-out of the media filters. The exact pressure which necessitates filter
change-out will be developed with experience; the media filter manufacturer has recommended a
pressure drop of at least 10 psi across the media filters before change-out. The operator should
perform the following steps for changing the media filters:
1.

1 I. OPEN filter isolation valves BV-306 and BV-307 and BV-308 and BV309.
12.. REST ART the treatment system by following steps 2 through 9 in Section 4.1
4.4 Carbon Vessel Backwashing
The adsorbers are designed for backwashing to alleviate a potential pressure drop problem that
could occur if suspended solids are filtered by the activated carbon. Backwashing may also be
beneficial if preferential flow pathways develop through the carbon bed, and to loosen the
activated carbon before carbon change-out. The differential pressure across each of the adsorbers
in the activated carbon system will be remotely monitored by differential pressure transmitters
with adjustable high-pressure differential alarms. When the differential pressure exceeds the
preset alarm pressure, the alarm will notify the operator of the need for backwashing ( or
changeout). By backwashing the activated carbon, the following occurs:
• Only suspended solids are removed from the· activated carbon bed.
• Equilibrium for the organics adsorbed by the activated carbon is not significantly affected
for the short time that backwashing takes place.
• The organic wavefront in the adsorber is not appreciably disturbed.
The procedures for backwashing the lead carbon vessel are as follows:

AUTO position.
4.5 Activated Carbon Removal and Replacement
Given the anticipated 6 gpm treatment system flow, the detention time in each carbon vessel will
be approximately 30 minutes. The activated carbon in the lead carbon vessel will be changed
when the effluent monitoring parameters from the lead adsorber approach discharge criteria, or
predetermined operating conditions set by Beazer East. The carbon usage rate has been estimated
at about 4,000 pounds per year. Therefore, the first carbon changeout (1,000 pounds) is
anticipated to follow 3 months of operation.
If the discharge sampling from the lead carbon vessel indicates exhaustion of the carbon or if the
pressure reading upstream of the vessel indicates restriction of flow through the vessel which
cannot be corrected by backwashing, then the activated carbon should be removed from the vessel
and replaced with new or regenerated carbon and the order of the lead and lag vessels reversed.
Removal and replacement of the carbon should be performed by an outside contractor, such as the
original supplier (Geopure Contenential) or other supplier experienced in activated carbon
change-out, since the carbon is removed and replaced in slurry form with vacuum as the motive
force, which cannot be handled with the existing on-site equipment. During the transfer of the
carbon, the slurry has a tendency to remain around the inner circumference of the adsorber at the
bottom. The carbon remaining at the bottom of the vessel can be vacuumed by accessing the
vessel through the hand hole near the bottom of the vessel. Approximately 500 gallons of slurry
Project\34321.000 4-5
water and spent carbon will be transferred into the receiving container. The receiving container
can be dewatered, sending the liquid back to equalization tank for treatment. In order to remove
fines from the fresh carbon which otherwise might cause a pressure drop problem, it is
recommended that the carbon vessel be backwashed before reactivating the treatment system
(Section 4.4). The carbon provided for the initial fill was 8 by 30 mesh granular carbon, with a
minimum iodine number of 950. Testing and disposal of spent carbon will be the responsibility of
Beazer East.

S.O SAMPLING AND MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
5.1 Purpose
System monitoring is required to evaluate the performance of the treatment system, and to
comply with substantive NPDES requirements. Performance of the groundwater treatment
system will be verified by comparison of influent sample analytical results to effluent analytical
results, and comparison of effluent analytical results to substantive NPDES permit discharge
criteria and the performance standard of20 µg/1 for 2,4-dichlorophenol established in the ROD.
5.2 Sampling Procedures
Sample valves are located in the piping system at major treatment system components. When
collecting samples from the sample valves, the valves should be opened a minute before sample
collection to flush the valves and associated piping of stagnant water to collect a sample
representative of the process stream. A suitable container should be used to collect water flushed
from the system and the container should be emptied into the building sump or into the
equalization tank To collect a water sample for analysis, the laboratory supplied bottle should be
placed beneath the sample valve port and the bottle filled with sample.
For each sample taken, the operator must record, at a minimum, the following information
I. The exact place, date, and time of sampling.
2. The dates the analyses were performed.
3. The person(s) who performed the analyses (including lab name and i.d. number).
4. The analytical techniques or methods used.
5.3 Sampling Program
Performance of the treatment system will be assessed by sampling flow before, between, and after
the carbon units. Samples collected before and after the carbon units will be used to evaluate the
effectiveness of the treatment system. Samples collected from between the carbon units will be
used to monitor breakthrough of analytes from the lead carbon unit. Samples will be collected
from the following sample taps:

5. 3. I Analytical Parameters
Treatment system influent samples will be analyzed for penta, 2,4-dichlorophenol. and 2,3,7,8-
TCDD. Samples collected from between the carbon vessels will be analyzed for penta and 2,4-
dichlorophenol. Eflluent monitoring parameters are flow, phenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol, dioxin
(2,3,7,8-TCDD), penta, and chronic toxicity. Penta is the only monitoring parameter with a
discharge limitation (20 µg/1).
5.3 .2 Sampling Frequency
During the first month of operation, treatment system performance will be monitored on a weekly
basis. Following the first month of operation, provided that the system is operating satisfactorily,
sampling frequency will be reduced. Sampling to assess breakthrough of the lead carbon unit will
be conducted quarterly. The sample analytical schedule is as follows:

MAINTENANCE
General
This section provides extraction well and treatment system preventative maintenance information
and procedures.
6.1.1 Major Equipment Manufacturer's Recommendations
Manufacturer's recommendations are contained in the equipment literature supplied with each
item. Manufacturer's catalog and maintenance. information is contained in Appendix C
6.1.2 Preventative Maintenance Summary Schedule
Preventative maintenance is the duty of the operator, and includes cleaning, adjustment, minor
repairs, painting and rust removal, and inspection of the units for proper operation to preveni
equipment breakdown.
The scheduling of preventative maintenance will be closely related to what is required by the
manufacturers of the various pieces of equipment. The operators performing the preventative
maintenance will need to keep the equipment records up to date "ith the results of their
inspections. dates of· lubrication.' changes in equipment adjustment. minor repairs and
replacements. etc.
Preventative maintenance must be planned so that required weekly, monthly, and seasonal items
are done when needed. These items are all performed by the system operator.
6.1.2.1 Cleaning
The operator should set-up a schedule so that all housekeeping operations (i.e., sweeping,
dusting, equipment clean-up, and clean-up of spills, etc.) are done on a regular basis. The
following is a brieflist of some of the particular tasks which should be done:
2.
3.
4.
5.
Sweep, dust and mop the treatment building and clean all system fixtures.
Dust pumps, controls, and other equipment.
Retrieve and store h_oses and tools immediately after usage.
Return all testing equipment to their appointed place after usage, and wash all
equipment immediately after use.
Deposit all trash in waste containers.

Adjustments and Minor Repairs
There are very few adjustments required for proper operation of the groundwater extraction and
treatment system.
6.2 Special Tools and Equipment
For routine maintenance, no special tools or equipment are required for the groundwater
extraction or treatment system. For change-out of the carbon from the carbon adsorbers, the
services of a specialized contractor is generally required to remove spent carbon by vacuum or in
slurry form and to install new carbon.
6. 3 Equipment Maintenance
A maintenance and equipment check list for the groundwater extraction and treatment is included
as Appendix D. The schedule for conducting system checks is generally weekly. Specific

8.0 WASTE MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSAL
Solid wastes generated by the treatment of site groundwater consist of spent media filter
cartridges and spent activated carbon.
CAUTION SPENT MEDIA FILTERS AND ACTIVATED CARBON ARE POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS MATERJALS. PERSONNEL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THE SITE HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN ARE TO BE
FOLLOWED WHEN HANDLING OR CONT ACTING THESE MA TERJALS.
8.1 Regulatory Status
I
I
I
I
I
I
The classification of waste materials generated by the groundwater treatment system is the
responsibility of Beazer East Inc. Be¥er East will provide labeling and manifesting instructions I
for all waste materials prior to shipment of those materials off-site.
8.2 Waste Management and Disposal Methods
Spent media filters will be collected in a 55-gallon drum or other suitable container. The drum
will be labeled as non-hazardous and v.~11 be kept closed except when adding filters. It is expected
that low quantities of sediment will be retained on the filters. Since the groundwater potentially
contains pentachlorophenol. phenol, 2.4-dichlorophenol, and dioxins. sediments retained on the
filter could also contain these compounds. At least one sample of the sediment collected on the
filters will be tested. The sample will be analyzed for pentachlorophenol, phenol, and 2,4-
dichlorophenol using EPA Method 8270 and for dioxin using EPA Method 8290 reported as
Toxic Equivalent Concentration using the Toxicity Equivalence Factors provided in Table 10 of
EPA Method 8290. This sample will be used to classify the media filters. If the testing results
allow Beazer East to classify the filters as non-hazardous, they may be disposed of as a solid
waste. Since the filters may contain significant moisture, it may be necessary to add a drying
agent such as cement or lime to the drum or container containing the filters prior to disposal.
Other specific requirements may apply depending upon the selected disposal facility.
Spent activated carbon will be slurried or vacuumed from the carbon vessels and collected in 55-
gallon drums. It is estimated that 5 or 6 drums will be required to contain the I 000 pounds of
carbon in each vessel. A composite sample of carbon will be collected from the drums and
analyzed in the same manner as described for the media filters. The sample will be used to classify
the spent activated carbon and determine the required method of disposal.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Beazer East Inc. has retained Fluor Daniel GTI, Inc. (Fluor Daniel GTI) to perform
environmental services at the Koppers Superfund Site, 908 Church St., Morrisville, NC.
1
January 9, 1997
The Health and Safety Plan (HASP) is written to ensure the well-being of all field personnel and
the community surrounding the site. Accordingly, project staff and approved Fluor Daniel GTI
subcontractors must follow the policies and procedures established in the HASP. All Fluor
Daniel GTI personnel and subcontractors assigned to this project must sign the Agreement and
Acknowledgement Sheet (Appendix B) to confirm that they understand and agree to abide by the
provisions of the plan.
All work will comply with Fluor Daniel GTI health and safe!)' guidelines in concurrence with all
applicable sections of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), 29 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) 1910 and 1926; specifically 29 CFR 1910.120 and 1926.65 Standards,
"Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response,' (29 CFR 1910.120) as well as other federal. state, and local regulations that require the development and implementation of a
HASP. Generation of this document certifies that the workplace has been evaluated for the
hazards as described. A hazard assessment has been performed and the adequacy of the personal
protective equipment (PPE) selected is hereby certified per 29 CFR 1910.132(d) and is duly
noted by the signature(s) and date appearing on the cover page of this document.
This HASP addresses the safety issues associated with this inactive site and and surrounding
properties, and involving the following site tasks:
• Gauging/Bailing/Sampling Wells
• Surface Water Sampling
• Pump Treat System O&M
The minimum level of protection for this site is Level D. For each task, the potential hazards
for employee exposure to site contaminants and/or air monitoring results, will determine the
level of protection. Modified Level D will be worn during tasks that may have the potential for skin contact with contaminated media (soil or water). Upgrade to Level C and/or B will occur
when the possibility of exposure exists from the onset of site-specific tasks or results of real-time monitoring exceed established action levels listed in Table 7, Air Monitoring Action
Levels. This HASP must be modified or amended when circumstances or conditions develop that are beyond the scope of this plan.

Any changes in project work scope and/or site conditions es described must be amended in writing by
the Health and Safety Representative (HSR) on the HASP Amendment Sheet (Appendix A).
Table 1, Responsibilities of On-Site Personnel, lists those accountable and responsible for the
implementation of the HASP. Table 2, Hazard Analysis Matrix, presents en overview of site-specific job
tasks and the associated hazards. Table 3, Contaminants of Concern Profile presents an overview of
the hazards and control measures associated with the site contaminants of concern. Lastly, Table 4,
presents an overview of the Fluor Daniel GTI health and safety programs in which all field personnel
are required to participate. These include the medical surveillance and comprehensive training
programs in accordance with OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response
standard, 29 CFR 1910.120.
1.1 Site Description/Background Information
Beazer East. Inc. The corporale successor to Koppers Co., Inc. entered into an Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) Administrative Order for Remedial Design in December 1992. The following
summary is taken from the Administrative Order: Koppers Co. Inc., operated the site as a wood
preservation facility Iron 1968 to 1975. The wood preservation process involved the pressure injection
of wood with pentachlorophenol and was generally located in the southeastern portion of the site.
Koppers initially discharged the wastewater from the wood preserving process into the Fire Pond.
Koppers later installed two unlined lagoons and discharged the process wastewaters into those
lagoons. The unlined lagoons were later drained end the liquids from th lagoons were spread over
foe Ids adjacent to the lagoon area.
Koppers owned the entire site until 1986, at which time Koppers sold a portion of the site. Koppers
retained portions of the site containing the Fire Pond, the lagoon area, and certain process areas. In
March 1989, the EPA placed the Koppers site on the NPL. A Remedial Investigation in 1989 confinmed
the presence of the site contaminants in groundwater, surface water, surface sils, subsurface soils and
sediments.
1.2 Project Personnel and Responsibilities
Fluor Daniel GTI will oversee and act accordingly during all phases of the project. The following
management structure will be instituted for the purpose of successfully and safety completing this
project.

3.0 AIR MONITORING
3. 1 Air Monitoring
19
January 9, 199 7
A review of literature regarding the chemicals of concern indicate that minimal threat to employees health exist. The remediation system is an enclosed pump and treat system. The low levels of contaminants are not voliatile and therefore, vapor air monitoring would not be effective. Hazards associated with this site will be addressed with personal protective equipment to include dermal protection for skin contact. In the event that the scope of work changes, air monitoring may be required. Both area and personal air monitoring readings are to be taken to characterize site activities. Air monitoring results must be documented on the Air Monitoring Form (Appendix E).
ATTENTION:
SITE PERSONNEL ASSIGNED RESPONSIBILITY TO CONDUCT AIR MONITORING MUST HAVE BEEN ,c' MONITORING EQUIPMENT OPERATION AND CALIBRATION PRIOR TO ITS USE.
Calibration and maintenance of air monitoring equipment must follow manufacture specifications and documented. Recalibration and adjustment of air monitoring equipment must be completed when site conditions and equipment operation reveal the need. Record all air monitoring equipment calibration and adjustment information on form in Appendix E.
Air monitoring action levels (Table 7) have been developed by the Fluor Daniel GTI HSM, to indicate the chemical concentrations in the breathing zone that require an upgrade in level of PPE. Action levels are typically set at either one-half the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Recommended Exposure Limits (REL), or the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLV). Rationale for establishing action levels is based upon the data available that characterizes contaminants of concern in soil or water. Calculation for estimating action levels is then completed using the principles of Henry's Law (volatiles in water), fugacity (volatiles in soil), and proportionality (particulates in soiO. When analytical data is not available, a qualitative assessment is conducted based on knowing the contaminants of concern and then setting action levels based on the
c:6, lind96\koppers FLUOI DAN■L OTI ~

Koppe~ Company Suporfund Site 20
January 9, 1997
· compound(s) with the lowest OSHA PEL, NIOSH REL or ACGIH TLV, and following an air monitor1ng
schedule that will minimize any potential for over exposure.
All worlcers on-site must have been property fitted with PPE (i.e., respirators) and have been
trained in their use (i.e., donning and doffing). Air monitoring measurements will be taken in
the breathing zone of the worlcer most likely to have the highest exposure. Transient peaks will
not automatically trigger action. Action will be taken when levels are consistently exceeded
in a 5-minute period. Similarly, ff chemical odors are detected that are a nuisance,
bothersome, or irritating, an upgrade in respiratory protection can provide an extra level of
comfort or protection when conducting site activities. Guidelines for frequency of air
monitoring are presented in Table 6. Job tasks that require air monitoring, the applicable
action levels that apply for those tasks, and the frequency of air monitoring are descr1bed In
Table 6 and Table 7 respectively.
Engineering controls such as the venturi air mover (supplied by compressed air) to exhaust or
dilute solvent vapors emanating from monitor1ng wells or when conducting intnJsive activities
can be utilized as a means to downgrade PPE requirements (Level B to C, Level C to D).

Identify hazardous locations. and
Contain contamination within the smallest area possible.
27
January 9, 1997
Employees entering the work zone must wear the proper PPE for that area. Work and support zones
will be established based on ambient air monitoring data, necessary security measures, and
site-specific conditions. Work zones will be identified as either Hot Zone (HZ)/Exclusion
Zone (EZ); Decontamination Zone (DZ)/Contamination Reduction Zone (CRZ); or Clean Zone
(CZ)/Support Zone (SZ).
The following PPE requirements apply for Work Zones:
■ HZs/EZs requires Level D PPE
■ DZs/CRZs require Level D PPE
■ SZs/CZs require Level D PPE
Listed are general guidelines for delineation of work zones. CRZs will be developed for
decontamination procedures listed in Section 4.5.
1 . The HZ/EZ is identified to contain sampling area or maintenance area where the
system has been opened. A minimum ten-foot distance surrounding this area will
be demarcated with cones, barricades and/or caution tape depending on location
to employees, general public, and high traffic areas.

An EKG is required on a baseline exam. Thereafter, an EKG is performed annually for anyone over · 40 years of age or for medical indications. A chest x-ray is required on a baseline exam, and then once every 5 years thereafter. A chest x-ray is also required upon termination (if it has been more than 1 year since the previous x-ray). Random drug saeens and tetanus are variable components; therefore, they are not included in the total examination price. These variable components will only be billed at the time they are included in the exam.
Examination price is based on the utilization of the EMR medical facility network. Should Fluor Daniel GTI wish to choose the facilities at which some or all of the services are provided. it is agreed that Fluor Daniel GTI will pay any difference between these oomponent prices and those charged by those facilities designated by the client. In the event an EMR medical facility increases fees substantially over those component prices, Fluor Daniel GTI has agreed to pay any reasonable difference or to change to an alternative EMR-qualified facility.

TASK DESCRIPTION
Obtain site blueprints from client, if available, to
show buried utilityiconduils.
If site blueprints are unavailable other methods
should be employed to identify subsurface
conduits in the field. Examples include
privately contracted utility locators such as
SM&P, a hand-held utility location device, field
observations (cut pavement, signs and
overhead lights, water, electric, and gas
meters, etc.), and customer personnel with
knowledge of conduit locations. No one tool
should be relied upon. Instead, as many tools
as practicable should be employed to Insure
that all known/suspect conduits have been
identified.
Mark out any proposed digging locations with
wh~e survev caint.
Contact underground utility locating service

SITE-SPECIFIC CONFINED SPACES
Site work may require personnel to enter confined spaces. No Fluor Daniel GTI employee or
subcontractor shall enter an area Identified as• confined space without using the CSE
procedures described in this appendix and completing the site specific entry procedures
presented in the CSE Penni!. The purpose of the CSE procedure is to protect employees from
potentially hazardous environments and to facilitate immediate rescue in an emergency situation. A
CSE Permrt must be posted at the entrance to each confined space.
CONFINED SPACES
Definition
A confined space has limrted or restricted means of entry or exn, is large enough for an employee to
enter and perform assi~ned work, and is not desioned for continuous occupancv by the employee.
Examples
These spaces may include, but are not limrted to, underground vaults, tanks, storage bins, pits and
diked areas, vessels, and silos.
Characteristics
A permrt-required confined space is one that meets the definition of a confined space and has one
or more of these characteristics:
■ Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere,
■ Contains a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant.
■ Has an internal configuration that might cause an entrant to be trapped or asphyxiated by
inwardly converging walls or by a floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross
section, and/or
• Contains any other recoonized serious safety or health hazards .
. ··. ·.:·,· -'"'· . ,' ::-:<·.··
Protocol for CSE
• Personnel trained lo conduct CSE procedures .
■ Perform the appropriate air monrtoring activity at various depths in the space prior to entry.
Monrtor for: (1) oxygen level, (2) flammable vapors, and (3) toxic vapors. • Ventilate the atmosphere in the space so that entry may be made safe without respiratory
protection. If this is not feasible, appropriate respiratory protection must be worn by
authorized entrants and attendants.
• Wear appropriate respiratory protection when ventilation alone can not achieve acceptable
atmospheric levels of oxygen or flammable or toxic vapors. • Have appropriate retrieval equipment worn by employees in the event of a mishap .

HEAT/COLO STRESS PROCEDURES
1.0 HEAT'STRESS
Heat stress is a significant potential hazard associated with the work task performed and the type and
degree of protective equipment used in hot weather environments, Local weather conditions may
produce conditions which will require restricted work schedules in order to protect employees,
Monrtoring for heat stress will follow one of two protocols depending on whether impermeable clothing
(tyvek, saranex, rain gear, etc,) or permeable clothing (cotton coveralls) is worn, This section will apply
to both hazardous and non-hazardous waste workers at the site, The SHSO with direction from HSR
will determine the environmental wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) and physiological (heart rate
[HR] and oral temperature [OR]) monrtoring to be conducted for both types of workers.
1.1 Workers Wearing Permeable Clothing
The ACGIH have set TLVs for worker exposure to heat stress in which rt is believed that nearly all
workers may be repeatedly exposed without adverse health effects. The TLVs assume that workers
are acclimatized, fully clothed in permeable clothing with adequate water and salt intake, and capable
of functioning effectively under the given working conditions without exceeding a deep body
temperature (BT) of 100,4 °Fahrenhert (F). Measurement of the WBGT has been found to be the most
adequately measurable environmental factor in which to correlate with the deep BT and other
physiological responses to heat. The following table reviews the work/rest regimen to be followed by all
permeably clothed workers based upon routinely measured WBGT,
Permissible Heat Ex osure TLVs A licable to Workers Wearin Permeable Clothin
Continuous work
75% work -25% rest, each hour 87 78 68
50% work -50% rest, each hour 89 82 2
25% work -75% rest, each hour 90 80 88 8 86 6
Values are given in "F WBGT.
Rest means minimal physical activity. Rest should be accomplished in the shade. Any activity
requiring only minimal activity can be performed during rest period.
O Parentheses indicate the 10 degree adjustment for working in impermeable protective clothing.

1.2 Workers Wearing lmpenneable Clothing
Workers who must wear impermeable clothing are tield at a higher risk of suffering heat stress.
Impermeable clothing impedes sweat evaporation, one of the body's major cooling mechanisms. It is
the duty of each employer to alert or notify the SHSO if symptoms of heat stress occur to their
respective site personnel. Physiological and environmental monitoring of personnel wearing an
impermeable protective equipment ensemble will commence when the ambient temperature rises
above 70°F. Environmental monitoring will be conducted continuously for as long as the ambient
temperature stays above 70°F and physiological monitoring will be conducted immediately before and
after each work period. Frequency of physiological monitoring will increase as the ambient
temperature increases or ii slow recovery rates are indicated. The break time must be sufficient to
allow workers to recover from the effects of heat stress. This will be accomplished by measuring the
recovery HR and OT. The break time duration will be determined using the following methodology and
criteria:
• Seat person being monitored,
■ Take OT, and
• Measure pulse in the following sequence:
Pulse #1: 30 seconds to 1 minute after sitting
Pulse #2: 2½ to 3 minutes after sitting
An excessive heat stress condition exists when any of the following conditions exist:
1. Oral or ear temperature exceeds 99.5°F
2. If pulse #2 is greater than 90 beats/minute
3. Pulse #1 is greater than 100 beats/minute
Worker cannot return to work until:
11 Oral or ear temperature is below 99.5°F
11 Pulse rate is below 90 beats/minute
11 Recovery HR for workers with HRs over 90 beats per minute is less than 10 beats per minute
less than the original HR
Adhering to the guidelines for heat stress prevention and monitoring will greatly minimize the possibility
of the occurrence of heat stress. Site personnel must also be aware of the symptoms of heat-related
disorders and be prepared to administer the appropriate treatments.
1.2.1 Prevention
· A. Provide plenty of fluids. A 50 percent solution of fruit juice or similar solution in water, or plain water
will be available. For workers performing work inside an EZ, fluid intake may occur in the CRZ.
Workers must first perform a partial decontamination process which will include removal of gloves
and washing of hands and face prior to consumption of fluids. The SHSO will monitor the partial
decontamination and fluid consumption process to ensure that ingestion of site contaminants does
not occur.
B. Work in pairs.whenever conducting Level B activity or permit required CSE activity.
C. Provide cooling devices. Ice vests or on-site showers can be provided to reduce BT and/or cool
protective clothing.
nid-app.97 nuoa DANIIL GT1 ~
The amount and type of undergarments worn will be left to the preference of each Individual unless
prone to heat stress, especially heat rash. In this case, the worker can wear "long john" cotton type
underwear to keep skin off chemical resistant clothing.
D. Adjustment of the work schedule. When practicable, the most labor-intensive tasks should be
carried out during the coolest part of the day.
E. Shaded or cooled rest areas. Shaded or cooled rest areas will be provided when site
environmental and/or workers physiological responses warrant.
1.1.3 Heat Stress Monitoring
Physiological monitoring of personnel wearing an Impermeable protective ensemble will be conducted
at regular intervals at the beginning and conclusion of the work period. HR must be periodically
measured for all site personnel when heat stress conditions (climate or wearing impermeable clothing).
Additional physiological monitoring such as BT and body water temperature (BWT) monitoring can be
measured for extreme temperatures and when impermeable clothing Is worn.
A. HR must be measured by the radial pulse for 30 seconds as early as posstble in the resting period
and repeated approximately 3 minutes Into rest period.
The HR at the beginning of the rest period should not exceed 110 beats per minute. The HR also
should not exceed 90 beats per minute after approximately 3 minutes of rest. If the HR does
exceed the criteria, the next work period will be shortened by 33 percent. while the length of the rest
period will remain the same. If the HR still exceeds the criteria at the beginning of the next rest
period, the following work period will be shortened by 33 percent
B. BT can be measured orally with a clinical or disposable thermometer, In accordance with
manufacturer's instructions, as early as possible in the rest period (before drinking liquid). Oral or
ear temperature at the beginning of the rest period should not exceed 99.S"F. lflt does, the next
work period will be shortened by 33 percent while the length of the rest period will remain the same.
However, _if the OT exceeds 99.S"F at the beginning of the next rest period, the following work
period will be shortened by another 33 percent A worker will not be permitted to wear a semi-
permeable or impermeable protective ensemble when his/her BT exceed 99.5 • F.

C. Body water loss (BWL) due to per.ipiraUon can be measured by having the worker weigh him/her
self at the beginning and end of each work day. Similar clothing should be worn at both weighing.
BWL should not exceed 1.5 percent total body weight in a work day.

1.1.4 Recognition and Treatment
Any personnel who observes any of the following forms of heat stress either in themselves or in another
worker, will report this information to his or her immediate supervisor or the SSHO.
A. Heat Rash (or prickly heat)
Cause: Continuous exposure to hot and humid air, aggravated by chafing clothing.
Symptoms: Eruption of red pimples around sweat ducts accompanied by intense itching and
tingling.
Treatment: Remove sources of irritation and cool the skin with water or wet cloths.
B. Heat Cramps or Heat Prostration
Cause: Profuse perspiration accompanied by inadequate replenishment of body water and
electrolytes.
Symptoms: Sudden development of pain and/or muscle spasms in the abdominal region.
Treatment: Remove the worker to the CRZ. Remove protective clothing. Decrease BT and allow
a period of rest in a cool location.
C. Heat Exhaustion -SERIOUS
nid-app.97
RUOll DAN■L en ~
Cause: Overexertion In a hot environment and profuse perspiration accompanied by Inadequate
replenishment of body water and electrolytes.
Symptoms: Muscular weakness, staggering gatt, nausea, dizziness, shallow breathing.
Treatment: Perform the following while simultaneously making arrangements for transport lo a
medical facilfy.
Remove the worker to the CRZ. Remove protective clothing. Lie the worker down on his or her
back in a cool place, and raise the feet 6 to 12 inches. Keep warm, but loosen all clothing. If
conscious, provide sips of a salt water solution consistency of one teaspoon salt in 12 ounces
water. Transport the worker to a medical facilfy.
D. Heat Stroke -EXTREMELY SERIOUS
Cause: Same as heat exhaustion.
Symptoms: No perspiration, dry mouth, pain in the head, dizziness, nausea.
Treatment: Perform the following while making arrangements for transport to a medical facilfy.
Remove the worker to the CRZ. Remove protective clothing. Lie the worker down in a cool place
and raise the head and shoulder slightly. Cool _without chilling. Apply ice bags or cold wet cloth
to the head. Sponge bare skin with cool water or rubbing alcohol. If possible, place the worker in a
tub of cool water. Do not give stimulants. Transport to a medical facility.

2.0 COLO STRESS
If work on this project begins in the winter months, thermal injury due to cold exposure can become a.
problem for field personnel. Systemic cold exposure is referred to as hypothermia. Localized cold
exposure is generally labeled frostbite.
A. Hypothermia: hypothermia is defined as a decrease in the patient core temperature below 96°F.
The BT is normally maintained by a combination of central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral
(skin and muscle) activity. Interferences with any of these mechanisms can result in hypothermia,
even in the absence of what normally is considered a "cold" ambient temperature. Symptoms of
hypothermia include: shivering, apathy, listlessness, sleepiness, and unconsciousness.
B .. Frostbite: frostbite is both a general and medical term given to areas of local cold injury. Unlike
systemic hypothermia, frostbite rarely occurs unless the ambient temperatures are less than
freezing and usually less than 2 • F. Symptoms of frostbite are: a sudden blanching or whitening of
the skin; the skin has a Warf or white appearance and is firm to the touch; tissues are cold, pale,
and solid.
Prevention of cold related illness can be aided by educating workers on recognizing the symptoms of
frostbite and hypothermia and by identifying and limiting known risk factors. The workers should be
provided with enclosed, heated environments on or adjacent to the site, dry changes of clothing, and
warm drinks.
To monitor the worker for cold related illnesses, start (oral) temperature recording at the job site:
■ M. the field team leader's discretion when suspicion is based on changes in a worker's
performance or mental status.
• At a worker's request.
■ As screening measure, two times per shift, under unusually hazardous conditions (e.g., wind-
chill less than 20°F. or wind-chill less than 30°F with precipitation).
■ As a screening measure whenever any one worker on the site develops hypothermia.
Workers developing moderate hypothermia (a core temperature of 92°F) should not return to work for
at least 48 hours.

In order to minimize the risk of the hazards of working in cold environments, workers will be trained and
periodically reinforced in the recognition of the physiologic responses of the body to cold stress. In
addition, the use of insulated work clothing, warm shelters and work/warming regimens may be used to
minimize the potential hazards of cold stress. Also. special attention will be paid to equipment warm-up
time and freeze protection for vessels, piping, equipment, tools, and walking/working surfaces. The
current ACGIH Tl Vs for cold stress found in this appendix will be used as a guideline.
