Ram Leather Care Site
2.0 Site Background
March 24, 2005
Revision No.: 0
The United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EP A's) identification Number for the
Ram Leather Care Site is NCD058754789. The Site is located at 15100 Albemarle Road
(Route 24/27) in a rural area of eastern Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, just west of
the Cabarrus County line. The site is located at 35' 13' 41" north latitude and 80' 36' 24.50"
west longitude. The site is located approximately four miles from the Charlotte city
boundary.
Ram Leather Care restored leather goods and operated as a dry cleaning facility. Chlorinated
hydrocarbon chemicals [primarily tetrachloroethene (PCE) and petroleum hydrocarbons
(mineral spirits)] were used in the cleaning process. The Ram Leather facility operated from
1977 to 1993. The building was constructed in 1967 and housed a construction business
until 1977.
The dry cleaning facility is no longer in operation and the site is currently operating as a
weekend flea market. The site and the surrounding property is illustrated in Figure 1. The
site is surrounded by residential property. To the south is a 14-acre privately owned parcel.
A small fishing pond is located on the 14-acre parcel. To the east is the 8-acre privately
owned parcel. To the north is another privately owned parcel. To the west is the 18-acre
privately owned parcel. A gravel road running southeast from the Ram Leather Care
driveway provides access to two residences.
The field work associated with the RD for the Ram Leather Care site will include:
• Conducting a 24-hour aquifer pump test on former drinking water well DW00l 1
• Collection of groundwater extraction samples during the duration of the aquifer pump
test
• Treatment of extracted groundwater through an activated carbon unit
• Collection of effluent samples from the post-treated water
• Discharge of treated water on-site

3.1 Chemical Hazards
3.0 Hazard Assessment
March 24, 2005
Revision No.: 0
The work to be conducted under this Task HASP wiU include the extraction of groundwater
and collection of pre-and post-treated water samples. The with chemical hazards are
considered to be minimal with the proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Contaminants ofconcern at the Ram Leather Care site are listed in Appendix 2, Table 2-1
of the Site HASP. The table lists the exposure routes, allowable exposure levels for the
chemicals, signs and symptoms of exposure, immediately dangerous to life and health
(IDLH) values, and Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) registry numbers.
3.2 Physical Hazards
Black & Veatch and their subcontracting personnel present during any of the previous listed
activities will wear modified level D safety equipment including steel toed boots. Potential
physical hazards include slip, trip, and fall hazards associated with an overgrown site and the
use of field equipment (including electronic data logger, submersible pump, and a generator).
Additional potential physical hazards are associated with vehicular traffic (for areas located
near roadways). Biological hazards include insect bites, snakes, and other pests associated
with the overgrown areas of the site.
3.3 Overall Hazard Level
During a walk-through, the overall hazard level will be low as risk of exposure to
contaminants is expected to be low. Table 3-1 presents a summary of the major hazards
associated with the RD field activities. Appendix 6 of the Site HASP provides requirements
for monitoring equipment and action levels.
3.4 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Black & Veatch and its subcontractors will conduct the aforementioned tasks in modified
level D, except as otherwise noted in Table 3-1. If upgrade to Level C PPE is required, see
Section 5.2 of the Site HASP. Efforts will be made to eliminate or reduce physical contact
with liquids and solids.

4.0 Personnel Qualifications
4.1 Training Requirements
March 24, 2005
Revision No.: 0

(SSC) a certificate of completion of an initial 40-hour hazardous waste operations training course
and, or the most recent certificate of completion for an 8-hour refresher course. The course must
have been completed within the 12 months of the individual being onsite performing hazardous
• waste operations. The training must comply with OSHA regulations found at 29 Code off ederal

serving in a supervisory role, such as the field team leader or SSC, requires an additional 8 hours
of training. Black & Veatch individuals functioning in a SSC capacity shall also have at least
6 days of experience at the level of protection planned for in this HASP. A SSC qualified at a
given level of protection is also qualified as a SSC at a lesser level of protection.
4.2 Medical Monitoring
All Black & Veatch personnel who engage in onsite operations at the Site must present, to the
Black & Veatch SSC, certification of completion, within the 24 months prior to the beginning
· of site activities, a comprehensive medical monitoring examination. All subcontractor personnel
who engage in hazardous waste operations must present, to the Black & Veatch SSC,
certification of completion, within 12 months prior to the beginning of site activities, a
comprehensive medical examination. The examination must comply with OSHA regulation
found at 29CFR 1910.120 et. seq. The certification must be signed by a medical doctor and
indicate any work limitations placed on the individual. The certification also must specify that
the individual is capable of working while wearing respiratory protective equipment. The
certification must be presented before site activities begin.
