Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose and Scope
The State of North Carolina (State) has retained the services of ETG Environmental, Inc.
(ETG) and Barnes, Ferland and Associates, Inc. (BF A) to prepare this site-specific Site
Operations Work Plan (SOWP) for the detoxification of the existing PCB Landfill
located in Warren County, North Carolina. This project has been authorized by the North
Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR) and will be
funded jointly by the State of North Carolina and the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA). The SOWP describes the logistics to be used at the site to detoxify the PCB
Landfill based upon the contract documents. The contract documents are performance
based and therefore, allows for contractor discretion and variances in approaches and
techniques. The successful contractor will need to modify this SOWP to be consistent
with and specific to its operation.
The general scope of the detoxification project is to ( 1) prepare the site and construct the
required infrastructure; (2) excavate the affected material; (3) treat the affected material
utilizing BCD technology for both solid and liquid phases; ( 4) construct a storm water
management system which will adequately capture and treat stormwater sufficiently for
reuse or discharge; (5) perform site restoration involving backfilling and compaction of
treated material and re-vegetating the site; and (6) involve the community in the project
to encourage economic development and ultimate reuse of the site.
In March 1998, ETG submitted a preliminary design document (Phase II) to the State for
detoxification of the Warren County PCB Landfill using Base Catalyzed Decomposition
(BCD) technology. This document was approved by the State as the basis for final
design for the detoxification of the Landfill facility. Such closure was deemed by the
State to be an effective means of fairly addressing key issues of the "Notice of Non-
compliance" issued by the EPA for the facility, as well as meeting the commitment made
by the State to detoxify the landfill when technically feasible. Since the submittal of the
preliminary design document, the North Carolina legislature has incorporated the
utilization of BCD for the landfill detoxification into law and has specified the
appropriate treatment standards required for the detoxification of the landfill. It is
anticipated that full funding for the project will be secured through appropriations from
the North Carolina Legislature with some matching funds from the Federal Government.
1.2 Content of the Site Operations Plan
Sections 2 through 8 of this document provide the operating scenario and sequence for
the proposed actions required to detoxify and restore this site in conformance with the
contract documents including the following plans, developed for this project.

• Health and Safety Plan
• Community Outreach and Involvement Plan
• Performance Demonstration Plan
• Air Monitoring Plan
• Quality Assurance Plan
• Final Verification/Confirmation Sampling Plan
• Construction Quality Assurance Plan
• Emergency Response Plan
These documents outline a minimum level of detail that the Contractor will be required to
provide. Upon contract execution, the selected Contractor will be required to make each
plan consistent with and specific to its operation.
1.3 Site Setting
The existing PCB Landfill is located in the southwestern portion of Warren County,
North Carolina. The State owns 19 .317 acres of the property surrounded by the property
owned by Warren County. The landfill site is accessed from State Road 1604 by a dirt
road located in a State right-of-way vehicular. Access to the property is restricted by a
chain at the landfill property line and personnel access to the landfill is restricted then by
a chain link fence that surrounds the landfill proper. The landfill is currently closed and
is covered by vegetation (i.e., grass). The area surrounding the landfill varies from
cleared, grassy areas to dense forest. Figure 1-1 provides a vicinity map of the site,
Figure 1-2 shows the property boundaries, and Figure 1-3 shows the survey of the
existing site.

The established cleanup standards for this site are:
• PCBs: less than or equal to 200 parts per billion (ppb ).
• Dioxins: less than or equal to 200 parts per trillion (ppt) (TEQ).
2.3.1 Criteria for Excavation
The criteria for the excavation of any material at this site is as follows :
• All soil within the limits of the actual landfill and outside of the top clay liner
will be excavated and stockpiled as clean material suitable for general
backfilling.
• All material below the top clay liner and above the bottom clay layer is
considered contaminated with PCBs and will be excavated for treatment.
• The bottom clay layer will be removed in 6-inch lifts until testing confirms
PCB contamination is below the cleanup standards. It is anticipated that much
of the clay layer will be clean and will be left in place.

Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
• Sediment within the existing stormwater pond above the cleanup standard will
be excavated and treated. Confirmation testing will dictate the excavation
limits.
2.3.2 Criteria for Treatment and Backfilling
Treated material meeting the cleanup standards will be backfilled into the landfill.
Treated material that does not meet these requirements will be retreated by the
Contractor at his own expense.
2.4 Site Restoration
Final restoration of the detoxified PCB Landfill will be in conformance with the site
reuse intentions of the State and Warren County.
2.4.1 Equipment Decontamination, Dismantlement and Demobilization
Mobil equipment, process equipment, structures and process pads that have come
in contact with PCB contaminated material will be decontaminated, when
feasible. Equipment and/or materials that can not be decontaminated readily will
require disposal off site. Equipment will be decontaminated in accordance with
CFR title 40, Section 761.360 through 761.375, and as described in the Final
Verification/Confirmation Sampling Plan. Prior to demobilizing equipment off-
site, the equipment will be either tested for residual PCBs or visually inspected.
Equipment will be dismantled for demobilization from the site. Dismantlement
activities may include, but not be limited to:
. • Cutting and burning;
• Rigging and lifting;
• De-energizing and disconnecting electrical power;
• De-pressurizing and draining lines and vessels;
• Confined space entry; and,
• Handling potentially hazardous/corrosive chemicals.
Task Assessment Hazard Analyses (TAHA) will be required for each of these
activities to prepare specific procedures for the safe implementation of each
activity. The health and safety plan contains the TAHA forms and procedures.
The process pads and stormwater pipelines will be washed down and all sediment
accumulated and analyzed for PCBs. This process will be repeated until
confirmation testing shows acceptable levels. The lined pond will be cleaned and
the liner removed. The curbing ~ound the process pad will be removed, but the
process pad, storm Water lines and ponds will remain. ·

2.4.2 Final Site Grading
The final site grading will commence once detoxification activities have been
completed. The site and the landfill proper will be graded in accordance with
contract drawings. In general, the site will be regraded to the original contours
and detoxified material will be contained within the original confines of the
landfill. Various factors will affect the actual final grades including:
• Excavation bulking factor
• Moisture content of feed soil to the treatment process
• Removal of contaminants and water during the treatment process
• Adjustment of water content following treatment
• Volume of debris encountered during excavation
• Compaction of backfilled soil
The final grades on the drawings are based on the assumption that excavated
volumes will match backfilled volumes; however, due to the uncertainty
associated with the balance between excavated material and backfilled material,
the areas outside of the lined portion of the landfill should be regraded to match
existing grades and original drainage patterns. Any excess or deficit that is
realized between excavated and backfilled material should be applied to the area
inside the original limits of the lined portion of the landfill.
The improved areas outside the immediate limits of the detoxified PCB landfill
will remain. These include the haul roads, parking areas, process pad(s),
perimeter fencing, stormwater containment swales, and the two ponds.
2.4.3 Restoration of Site Vegetation
Following the final grading of the detoxified PCB landfill, the original landfill
cover (fill and topsoil) will be reinstalled. Note: the clay liner removed from the
landfill cover will be backfilled in the landfill with the treated materials.
Following placement of the fill and topsoil, the site will be hydro-seeded with a
mixture of native ground cover designed to return the area to a stabilized old field
environment. The seed mix and application rates are provided in the
specifications.
Following seeding, monthly inspections for six months will be conducted to
ensure a successful stand of vegetation cover has been achieved. These
inspections will also be required to identify and repair erosion gullies and to apply
additional seed in areas that did not support vegetation growth.

3.0 SITE EXCAVATION PLAN
3.1 Introduction
The State owns and maintains a landfill, which was constructed as a disposal facility for
material that was contaminated with PCBs. The landfill is located in a fairly remote
location near the north central portion of the State. The material that was placed in the
landfill resulted from the illegal disposal of PCBs along the shoutders of highways
throughout the state.
3.3.1 Existing Landfill Features
Figure 3-1 shows a typical cross section through the landfill. The landfill was
constructed by excavating the general shape of the landfill and then placing
approximately 9 inches of sand on the floor of the excavation. This layer of sand
was intended to protect the groundwater in the event of a breach in the
impermeable layers above by allowing leachate to migrate towards a leachate
collection system located at the northern end of the landfill at the lowest area of
the landfill.
After installation of a simple lower leachate collection system, a 30 mil PVC liner
was installed to contain contaminants within the landfill. A I-foot layer of clean
fill was placed to prevent bridging and to level the surface. A 5-foot layer of clay
was then installed as the primary impermeable layer.
Once the clay layer was in place, a final 9-inch layer of sand was placed. This
layer serves as the primary conduit for leachate contained within the landfill. A
layer of filter fabric was installed on top of the sand layer to restrict the migration
of fine soil particles that would cause blinding.
The landfill was filled starting at the ·southwest comer and proceeding to the
northeast comer. The depth of the landfill averaged approximately 22 feet, and it
was verbally reported that the contaminated material compacted well during
placement. Once placement of the contaminated material was complete, the cover
was constructed by placing 1 foot of clean fill on top of the contaminated
material. A 2-foot layer of clay was then installed as the first impermeable layer,
and a 10 mil PVC liner was installed on top of the clay as the second impermeable
layer. The cover was completed by placing 1 foot of clean fill on top of the liner,

and then placing 1 foot of topsoil on top of the fill. Grass was then planted to
m1mm1ze erosion.
3.1.2 General Sequence
The bottom of the landfill slopes from the southern end to the deepest area of the
landfill, which is located in the northeast comer. In order to keep water within the
landfill from migrating from the contaminated areas to the clean areas, excavation
within the landfill will proceed from south to north. The landfill will be
excavated in ten phases. Excavation activities will proceed by dividing the length
of the landfill into ten cells. The cells are presented for volume determination and
excavation sequencing purposes only.
The topsoil and fill layers will be removed and stockpiled for future use during
backfilling procedures. The liner will be exposed and then cut in pieces for
disposal in a sanitary landfill. As much as practical, the clay layer will be
separated and stockpiled separately for future use. The fill layer underneath the
clay liner will be considered contaminated and will be treated.
Excavation of each cell will proceed until the contaminated material is completely
removed. Each cell will be cut into the next cell at a 2: 1 slope so that erosion and
slope instability is minimized. Material will be removed from the cell proceeding
from east to west. In this manner, stormwater will be directed to the deeper
portions of the landfill. Once the clay layer is exposed, testing will be performed
to verify that the material is clean. Once this material is considered clean, a
stormwater diversion berm may be constructed to maintain separation between
clean areas and contaminated areas.
Once excavation of Cell No. 3 begins, the filling of Cell No. 1 can commence.
Stockpiled clean treated material will be placed and compacted into the landfill in
1 to 2 foot lifts. Compaction of each layer will take place prior to placement of
subsequent layers. The remaining layers will be excavated and filled in this
general fashion until decontamination is complete. Figures 3-2 through 3-11
shows how excavation and backfilling operations will proceed through the
landfill.
3.1.3 Design Basis Criteri.a
Excavation will typically proceed at a faster rate than treatment of the
contaminated material. Therefore, the provision of stockpiling areas will be
critical to the successful flow of material. Material will be excavated from the
designated cell using a standard excavator which will be of a sufficient size to
efficiently maintain removal rates. The excavator will transfer material to a
dedicated dump truck(s), which will remain in the contaminated area of the site .

Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
The dump truck(s) will proceed from the west end of the cell along a haul road
located on the west side of the landfill. Material will be weighed on a certified
scale prior to being dumped onto the material preparation stockpile area prior to
processing. A front-end loader will be utilized to transfer material from the
stockpile area to a screening plant equipped with a 2-inch mesh screen, which will
remove larger materials from the waste stream. An incline transfer conveyor will
take the screened material and transfer the material to a pugmill plant for blending
of BCD reagents with the screened material. The incline transfer conveyor is also
equipped with a magnet to remove magnetic materials from the contaminated
materials. BCD reagent will be blended at a ratio of 2% to 5% with the
contaminated materials. The blended materials will be transferred via transfer and
radial-stacking conveyor to a blended stockpile area. The material preparation
stockpile area will be sized for 2 days CBCD and BBCD production storage and
the blended stockpile area will be sized for 5 days of CBCD and BBCD
production storage.
Blended material will then be processed through either the BBCD or CBCD
systems. Processed material will then be stockpiled at the south end of the
process area. This area will be sized for up to 14 days of storage for the CBCD
processed material and up to 30 days storage for the BBCD processed material.
Once analytical results are received verifying that the treated material is below the
treatment standard, this material will be transferred to a separate stockpile area
located at the south end of the landfill. This area will be sized to accommodate
the maximum void volume before backfilling can commence. From a logistics
point of view, the amount of material which will exist within the process and the
stockpiling areas will need to approximately equal the amount contained within
Cells Nos. 1 and 2. As stated previously, once excavation on Cell No. 3 begins,
the backfilling of Cell No. -1 can c·ommence. ·
3.2 Quantities
Material quantities have been estimated based on record information provided by the
State of North Carolina regarding the construction of the original landfill. Estimated
quantities are provided so that general equipment sizing activities can occur. The
payment to the Contractor will be based on the actual quantities treated as measured in
tons by the certified truck scale.
3.2.1 Clean Material
Clean material will generally include all soil including and above the top landfill
clay liner excluding sediment within the existing stormwater pond. This volume
of clean material to be excavated is estimated as follows :
Material Type Quantity
Vegetation 12,866
12" Top Soil 3,471

3.2.2 Contaminated Material
The contaminated material will generally include all of the material below the top
landfill clay liner and at a minimum six inches into the lower layer of clay. The
contaminated material will also include sediment within the existing stormwater
pond. The volume of contaminated material is estimated as follows:
Material Type Quantity Units of Measure
12" Fill Material 3,471 , Cubic yards
PCB Contaminated Material 34,029 Cubic yards
Filter Fabric 12,629 Square yards
9" Sand 3,601 Cubic yards
6" Clay removal of 60" Clay Liner 2,592 Cubic yards
3.3 Environmental Controls
The Contractor will utilize various · environmental controls to protect both on-site
personnel and the surrounding community. At a minimum, the Contractor will
implement dust suppression controls and erosion and sediment controls. In addition,
demarcation zones will be provided between clean areas and contaminated areas to allow
decontamination of personnel and equipment.
3.3.1 Dust Suppression
Since PCBs adhere to the soil particles, the dust generated from the material
handling activities must be kept to a minimum. It will be the responsibility of the
Contractor to recognize when dry conditions have the potential of generating
excessive dust and to implement dust control measures as necessary. In general,
wetting of exposed soil with clean stormwater (when available) will be utilized
for dust suppression. The Contractor must provide equipment for applying water
for dust suppression purposes. Also, in the event that clean stormwater is not
available, the Contractor must provide sufficient potable water for this use.
3.3.2 Erosion and Sediment Controls
The Contractor is required to conduct excavation activities in a manner that will
minimize the effects of erosion and the transport of sediment from exposed areas
of the site. The Contractor shall develop an Erosion Control Plan which will
incorporate erosion control devices required by the construction drawings and by
the State of North Carolina's requirements for erosion and sediment control (refer
to Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and Design Manual, NCDEHNR).
[Soils that will be exposed for more than 14 days shall be stabilized by fabrics or
should be seeded in accordance with the specifications.] At a minimum, the
following erosion and sediment control methods shall be incorporated into the site
management in accordance with the construction documents:
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
26
March 2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
• Stabilized access roads
• Stormwater collection and retention areas
• Silt fences and hay bales
• Diversion dikes
• Overflow structures
• Swales and rock-lined channels
The Contractor is responsible for installing and maintaining erosion and sediment
control structures in accordance with the construction documents. Additional
erosion and sediment control measures, which may prove necessary, shall be
installed in accordance with the Erosion and Sediment Control Planning and
Design Manual, NCDEHNR.
3.3.3 Demarcation Zones
Demarcation Zones will be provided to allow for the decontamination of
personnel and equipment that will be leaving contaminated areas. Demarcation
Zones intended for use by personnel shall include provisions for washing down
. outer clothing and boots with a low-pressure water source. The area shall also
have receptacles suitable for disposal of any disposable-type protective wear such
as coveralls, gloves, boot covers, or any other item which may be required.
Demarcation Zones intended for decontamination of equipment shall be sized to
allow for the placement of the intended equipment entirely within the designated
area. The facility shall be equipped with high-pressure low-volume pressure
washers capable of cleaning construction vehicles in an efficient manner.
Contaminated materials washed off during decontamination shall be collected in
the contaminated stormwater management system for discharge into the lined
pond for future treatment.
3.4 Support Facilities
Areas of the site will be developed to support the various activities associated with the
detoxification efforts. These areas include Material Storage Areas, Vehicle Management
Areas, and Detoxification Areas.
3.4.1 Material Storage Areas
Contaminated material is processed at a continuous, but slower rate than the rate at which
material can be excavated and transported from the landfill. Also, it takes time to
sample and confirm that detoxified material has been treated to the treatment
standards. For these reasons, areas are needed throughout the site to stockpile
material as it travels through the process. Three main stockpile areas will be
needed: excavated material that has been screened and is ready for treatment,
processed material that has been tested to confirm treatment levels, and material
that is waiting to be backfilled into the landfill.
ETG Environmental, Inc/ BF A Environmental Consultants

Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
In order to maintain a steady processing rate during periods of inclement weather
or excavation equipment problems, a 5-day stockpile area shall be provided in
between the material preparation facility and the feed conveyor for the BCD
process. The 5-day period was chosen to allow for adequate time after a severe
storm event to remove standing water and to allow dewatering procedures to
proceed.
Confirmation sampling and analysis is a process that takes up to two weeks for
completion. The stockpile area after the BCD process shall be designed to
accommodate up to two weeks worth of processed soil. The area shall be
separated into individual holding bins. Each bin shall be capable of storing up to
two-days of processed soil for the CBCD system
Treated material will be backfilled into the landfill once there is sufficient
capacity and separation between the cells. For this reason, a stockpile area shall
be provided at the south end of the landfill to allow for interim storage. This area
will also allow for interim storage of the clean soils stripped from the landfill
cover (topsoil, fill and clay).
3.4.2 Vehicle Management Areas
Vehicle Management Areas shall consist of access roads, parking areas and haul
roads. Access roads and parking areas will be considered clean and will be
constructed of a stabilized subgrade, a geotextile and a gravel surface. [Haul
roads for clean material will be constructed in a similar fashion to the access roads
and parking areas. Haul r.oads for contaminated material will also be constructed
in a similar fashion to the clean haul road, but all drainage will be diverted back
into the landfill.]
3.4.3 Detoxification Support Area
The support areas for the detoxification system include the following:
• asphalt area for material preparation
• concrete slab for the BCD process
• asphalt area for treated material stockpile
• pole barn for weather protection of prepared contaminated material

The operation of BCD detoxification process is described in this section.
4.1 BCD Detoxification Process Set Up
The selection and procurement of the BCD process system components will be initiated
upon project award to allow ample time for manufacturing and delivery of the systems to
the site. Delivery of system components to the site will commence after construction of
the process pad.
The larger process components ( e.g. CBCD and BBCD) will be delivered to the site first
to facilitate ease of placement. Placing the equipment includes:
• mark the placement location,
• determine rigging requirements and follow safety protocols,
• lift the equipment and set into place,
• level the equipment, and
• anchor/secure the equipment.
Once the process equipment is set, auxiliary components (conveyors, pumps, tanks, etc.)
will be placed. Installation of the equipment includes, but is not limited to, the following:

provide startup assistance.
4.2 Performance Demonstration Test
The purpose of the Performance Demonstration (PD) Test is to establish that the solid
and liquid phase BCD systems, while operating at maximum throughput, will meet the
material treatment standards, North Carolina air regulations, and to obtain an operating
permit from Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA). A Performance Demonstration Plan
(PDP) will be developed by the Contractor and submitted for the review and approval of
NCDENR, EPA, and other regulating bodies as dictated by NCDENR. A draft PDP has
been developed and is part of the Bid Specifications.
ETG Environmental, Inc/ BF A Environmental Consultants
32
March 2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
Three PD tests will be performed for each of the three systems (BBCD, CBCD and
LBCD). A rigorous monitoring and sampling program will ensure that the requirements
are met for all systems during full-scale operations. The following plans reference
specific procedures to be incorporated into the PD testing:
• Health and Safety Plan (HASP) for all health and safety issues including personal
monitoring and sampling.
• Performance Demonstration Plan (PDP) for specific sampling and analytical
requirements including stack testing.
• Air Monitoring Plan (AMP) for monitoring and sampling procedures.
• Final Verification/Confirmation sampling Plan (FVCSP) for sampling and analytical
procedures including quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) issues
pertaining to sampling and analytical procedures.
• Contractor Quality Assurance Plan (CQAP).
• Emergency Response Plan.
• Community Outreach and Involvement Plan.
The PD test will follow the following sequence of activities:
4.2.1 Contaminated Material Preparation:
In accordance with the excavation plan described previously in this plan, the
southern end of the PCB landfill will be uncovered and PCB contaminated
material excavated. The excavated material will be transported via trucks to the
screening and blending plant. The material will be weighed using a truck scale
that has been certified prior to staging at the screening and blending plant.
Sufficient material will be excavated to perform the ramp up test on the CBCD
and the three PD tests to be performed on the CBCD and BBCD systems.
Samples of the staged excavated material will be collected. The samples will be
screened in the field for PCBs using the immunoassay kits and analyzed for
moisture content. In addition, samples will be submitted to a laboratory for PCBs,
dioxin/furans and hazardous waste chemical characterization. The PCB and
dioxin/furans analyses provide data on the concentration of the PCBs in the
material, and the hazardous waste chemical characterization will confirm that no
other chemicals of concern exist in the PCB contaminated materials. It is desired
to perform the PD tests with materials representative of the levels of PCBs
anticipated to be encountered throughout the project. If the material excavated is
not of sufficient PCB concentrations then it will be spiked with PCBs. Materials
with a moisture content greater than 15 percent will be treated in the BBCD
system.
The staged material will be loaded into the hopper of the screening plant
containing a maximum screen mesh size of 2-inch by 2-inch. Material not
passing through the 2-inch by 2-inch screen will be discarded into an oversize
pile.
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
33
March2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
Material passing through the 2-inch by 2-inch screen will pass under a magnet to
remove magnetic materials. Magnetic material collected on the magnet will be
removed manually and placed in a stockpile for future decontamination and
disposal. The non-magnetic screened material will be transferred to the pug mill
plant where BCD reagents will be blended at a ratio of 2% to 5% by weight.
4.2.2 Clean Material Testing
The purpose of the clean soil testing is to verify mechanical operation of the
CBCD and BBCD systems. Prior to operations with contaminated materials, both
CBCD and BBCD systems will process clean soil for a minimum of 8 hours at
anticipated feed rates and retention times. This amount of time is the minimum
needed to ensure that all system components are functioning properly.
Key information to be collected for the CBCD includes: soil feed rate, clean soil
moisture content, soil exit temperature, and material handling and vapor recovery
system (CBCD-VRS) equipment performance.
Key information to be collected for the BBCD clean soil test includes: batch
volume, vacuum at the hot cyclone inlet, soil temperature versus time, and
material handling and BBCD-VRS equipment performance.
Approximately l O to 12 tons of clean soil will be processed in the BBCD system
and 60 -200 tons of clean soil processed in the CBCD system.
4.2.3 CBCD Ramp UP Test
The purpose of the CBCD ramp up test is to . determine the highest feed rate that
will still produce material meeting the soil cleanup standard of 200 ppb PCBs.
The CBCD VRS system will be started in reverse order [ flameless thermal
oxidizer (CBCD-FTO) to quencher/scrubber]. The control system will be started
and verified that read out points are operational. The continuous process monitor
(CPM) will be started and verified to be calibrated and operational. The common
systems, such as the cooling tower, chiller, fuel delivery, air compressor, and
make-up water will be started and verified to be operational. The CBCD desorber
will be preheated to an inner shell temperature of 1,500-1600 °F. Once the
CBCD-FTO and CBCD desorber have reached temperature the ramp up test can
commence.
The feed rate of the contaminated material into the CBCD desorber will be slowly
increased to maximum throughput conditions. The Contractor will collect
samples, as necessary, of both contaminated material and treated material and
analyze them for PCBs using the immunoassay PCB test kit. The field testing
results will indicate the highest feed rate that will produce material at or below the
cleanup standard. The ramp up test may take 24 hours or more to complete. The
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
34
March2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
CBCD system will then be shutdown for analysis of the operating data to
determine optimun conditions for the PD tests. In parallel with this analysis, PD
testing of the BBCD system may begin.
4.2.4 BBCD PD Testing
Similarly to the CBCD system, the BBCD-VRS, process monitoring system ,
CPM and common systems will be started and verified to be operating properly.
The stack testing subcontractor will setup for the collection of gases entering the
BBCD-FTO and off gases from the BBCD-FTO. A known volume of
contaminated material will be loaded into the BBCD desorber (approximately 10
cubic yards). Once the BBCD-FTO is at operating temperature and all other
processing components verified to be operating properly, heat will be applied to
the BBCD desorber. Applying heat to the BBCD desorber will indicate the start
of the PD test.
The batch will be operated for a predetermined time based on the contaminated
material moisture content, and the data generated during the clean soil test. At the
end of the batch run, the heat to the BBCD desorber will be cut off. To unload the
treated material, the rotation of the BBCD desorber will be reversed. The treated
materials will be discharged into the BBCD discharge/cooling screw where water
will be added · for both cooling and to recondition the materials to a moisture
content of approximately 10 percent.
The conditioned treated materials will be ,deposited on to the BBCD radial stacker
belt conveyor. The BBCD-radial stacker will deposit the treated material into a
stockpile in · the treated material stockpile area. A composite sample to be
analyzed for non-volatile compounds and two grab samples to be analyzed for
volatile compounds will be collected from the treated stockpile. The PDP
describes the specific analyses to be performed and the QA/QC protocols to be
followed.
While the treated materials from the BBCD desorber are being unloaded, cooled
and conditioned, the process condensate collected during the PD test will be
pumped to the PCSAPT system. The PCSAPT system is described in detail later
in this Plan
It is anticipated that the first BBCD PD test will be completed within 9 to 12
hours. The second and third BBCD PD tests are expected to occur during the two
days following the first test.
4.2.5 CBCD PD Testing
Once the BBCD testing is compete the first of three PD tests will be performed on
the CBCD system. The same equipment start up procedures employed for the
CBCD ramp up test will be used for the PD test. In addition, the stack testing

subcontractor will setup to collect gases prior to the CBCD-FTO and off-gases
from the CBCD-FTO. The PDP details the specific samples to be collected and
analyses to be performed.
Once the CBCD desorber reaches temperature, contaminated material will be
processed at the predetermined (from the ramp up test) feed rate. Once the
process conditions reach steady state, the PD test will commence and stack testing
will begin. The CBCD will process contaminated materials for sufficient time for
the stack testing samples to be completed.
Unlike the BBCD system, the rehydration of the materials and treatment of the
process condensate operates continually. The rehydrated materials exiting off the
CBCD discharge stacking conveyor will be segregated into four distinct
stockpiles. A composite sample to be analyzed for non-volatile compounds and
two grab samples to be analyzed for volatile compounds will be collected from
the treated stockpile. The PDP describes the specific analyses to be performed
and the QA/QC protocols to be followed.
It is anticipated that the first test will be completed within 9 to 16 hours of starting
up the CBCD desorber. In between PD tests, the CBCD will most likely be kept
at or near temperature. All three PD tests will be conducted at maximum
throughput operating conditions. The second and third CBCD PD tests are
expected to occur during the next few days following the first test.
4.2.6 LBCD PD Testing
The goal of the PD testing for the LBCD . system is to demonstrate that the
contaminated organic liquids from the BBCff and CBCD process condensate will
be treated to the required criteria (less than 2 ppm PCBs ). Therefore, the PD test
for the LBCD system will most likely be performed after the BBCD and CBCD
PD tests are completed in order to collect the largest quantity of organics to be
treated in the LBCD system. The collected organics will be sampled from the
LBCD ·Organic Feed Tank and screened for PCBs using the immunoassay PCB
test kit and a split sample submitted to a laboratory certified to perform the
analysis. If sufficient treatable organics are not generated during the BBCD and
CBCD PD tests then the organic liquids will be spiked with PCB oil to achieve
the desired PCB concentration levels.
Samples of the organic mixture from within the LBCD reactor will be collected
and screened for PCBs using the immunoassay PCB test kit to determine the
completion of the LBCD process. At the end of the batch, process oil samples
will be taken and submitted to a commercial laboratory for detail analysis
according to the PDP.
A single PD test is anticipated to be completed in 12 to 16 hours. The second and
third LBCD PD tests are expected to occur during the next few days following the

first test. Critical process control data will also be monitored and recorded as
described in the PDP.
4.2.7 Performance Demonstration Report
The Contractor will be responsible for compiling data from the PD tests and
preparing a Performance Demonstration Report. The suggested outline of the
Performance Demonstration Report can be found in Appendix G of the PDP. The
Performance Demonstration Report will provide sufficient details of the process
operating parameters, feed characteristics, performance results, and quality
assurance and quality control results to obtain a TSCA permit (interim and full-
scale) and satisfy the treatment standards for the project along with State of North
Carolina Air Regulations to begin full-scale operations
4.3 Interim Operations
The BCD detoxification system will be shutdown until a TSCA operating permit is
received. According to Mr. Winston Lue of the office of Pollution, Prevention, and
Toxics, an interim permit may be issued to shorten the downtime between the conclusion
of the PD test and the startup of the full-scale remediation operations. Factors affecting
the review process for both the interim permit and full-scale operating permit are:
• Turnaround time for the stack testing results and laboratory analytical results;
• Submission and quality of the Performance Demonstration Report;
• Quality Assurance and Quality Control of the analytical data;
• Consistency of analytical results collected from the three PD tests;
• The analytical results versus the treatment standards (air and treated materials).
• Mechanical performance of the processes (consistency, accuracy, instrumentation,
operating parameters, etc.)
A recommended procedure to expedite the TSCA permitting process starting from the
completion of the PD test to issuance of the interim and final permit is included in
Section 10 of the PDP.
It will be the Contractor's responsibility to secure the site during all down time periods,
including between the PD test and the start of the full-scale operations.
4.4 Full Scale Operation Material Preparation
The material preparation area includes the following:
• Certified truck scale with recorder;
• Excavated material staging area on the process pad equivalent to two days of
processing through the BBCD and CBCD systems;
• Screening plant equipped with 2-inch by 2-inch mesh screen, hopper and transfer
conveyor(s) with shrouds and belt scrappers;
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
37
March 2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
• Magnet for separation of metals,
• Pug mill plant for blending materials and reagents, equipped with surge hopper,
transfer conveyor(s) capable of adjusting feed rate to pug mill, and twin paddle mixer
pug mill;
• Weigh belt scale for measuring screened material feed rate to pug mill;
• Storage silo with variable speed discharge valve, dust collector and level sensor;
• Transfer and stacking conveyors with shrouds and belt scrappers;
• Staging area for contaminated over size debris;
• Staging area for contaminated magnetic debris;
• Decontamination area and equipment to decontaminate and/or segregate materials
capable of being decontaminated from those materials requiring disposal;
• Fail safe system to protect equipment should mechanical failure occur;
• Instrumentation, (PLC), and software to measure, indicate, alarm, and record process
parameters;
• Tools and personnel to operate and maintain the equipment.
4.4.1 Landfill Excavation and Staging Area
Excavation of. t~e contaminated materials from the landfill will be performed with
excavator(s) and dozer(s). The excavation will start at the ·southern end of the
landfill and proceed in the north direction.· ·See section 3.3 for further details of
the excavation plan. The excavated material will be transported via trucks to the
material preparation area located at the northern end of the processing pad. The
material will be weighed using a certified truck scale prior to staging. The
certified weigh scale will be used to measure for payment the quantity of material
processed by the BBCD and CBCD systems.
The staging area will be of sufficient size to accommodate the equivalent of two
days of combined processing through the BBCD and.CBCD systems.
4.4.2 Untreated Material Sampling and Analytical Screening
A composite sample of the excavated material will be collected everyday that the
material is excavated and staged. The samples will be screened in the field for
PCBs using the immunoassay PCB test kits and analyzed for moisture content.
Materials with a PCB concentration above 750 ppm and/or a moisture content
greater than 15 % will be treated in the BBCD or blended with other materials and
treated in the CBCD.
4.4.3 Screening Plant
The staged material will be loaded into the hopper of the screening plant using a
front-end loader. The screening plant will be equipped with a hopper, screen
hopper conveyor, and screened material incline belt conveyor, and have a
maximum screen mesh size of 2-inch by 2-inch. Material not passing through the
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
38
March 2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
2-inch by 2-inch screen will be discarded into an oversize pile. The oversize
material will be either:
• Re-screened,
• Decontaminated for disposal on-site,
• Decontaminated for disposal off-site, or
• Disposed off-site.
4.4.4 Magnetic Separator
Material passing through the 2- inch by 2-inch screen will be conveyed from the
bottom of the screen hopper to a shrouded incline belt conveyor. The screened
material will pass under a magnet to remove magnetic materials. Magnetic
material collected on the magnet will be removed manually and placed in a
stockpile for future decontamination and disposal. The non-magnetic screened
material will continue on the incline conveyor and be deposited directly into the
hopper of the pug mill plant.
4.4.5 Pugmill Plant
The hopper of the pug mill plant will serve as a surge hopper for the pug mill. A
· belt conveyor located at the bottom of the pug mill hopper will transfer material
from the pug mill hopper to a shrouded incline belt conveyor feeding the pug mill
mixer. The feed rate to the pug mill mixer will be controlled by adjusting the
speed rate of the pug mill hopper conveyor belt and/or adjusting the height of the
slide gate opening which will limit the quantity of material that can be carried by
the conveyor.
The pug mill incline feed conveyor will be equipped with a belt scale to provide
feed material rate (instantaneous) as well as the total feed quantity. The flow rate
will then utilized to control the reagent feed rate.
Dry reagent (sodium bicarbonate) will be delivered in pneumatic tanker trucks.
The reagents will be off-loaded directly into the silo located in the material
preparation area. The silo will be equipped with a baghouse to prevent dusting,
level indicator, and variable speed rotary valve. Reagents will be protected from
the weather at all times.
The silo will deliver the designated rate of reagent directly to the pug mill based
upon the calculated weight of the material being conveyed by the pug mill incline
feed conveyor. The reagent and materials will be blended in the twin shaft paddle
pug mill. If necessary, water can be added through a spray bar located in the pug
mill to control dust. The blended material will exit the opposite end of the pug
mill and be deposited onto a shrouded transfer belt conveyor. The transfer
conveyor will deposit the blended material onto a stacking conveyor where the
material is staged awaiting processing through the CBCD or BBCD.

4.4.6 Blended Material Stockpile
The blended material stockpile will be sized to accommodate five (5) days of
processing through the CBCD and BBCD systems, at maximum throughput. A
pole barn will be provided to protect the blended material from precipitation. The
five day blended material stockpile ensures that there is sufficient material
protected from the elements to process through the CBCD and BBCD systems.
Segregated stockpiles will be made when materials containing PCBs greater than
750 ppm and/or 15 percent moisture content are processed through the BBCD
system; otherwise, the blended materials may be processed in either the BBCD or
CBCD system.
4.4. 7 Material Blending Control System
The material blending control system is comprised of the following maJor
components:
• Motor control center equipped with power main disconnects, variable speed
drive, motor starters and transformers.
• Programmable logic controller (PLC) 5/05 processor with power supply and
input/output analog modules.
• PLC and operator interface software program.

4.5 Continuous Solid Phase BCD system
The CBCD system allows for continuous processing of the contaminated BCD blended
materials. The continuous nature of the CBCD allows for higher throughput, however, it
also restricts the range of feed characteristics that the CBCD system can operate to meet
the cleanup standards.
The CBCD process flow is provided in drawing PFD-202, which shows the major
equipment components and solid, liquid and gas flows.
The following sections describe the CBCD system.
4.5.1 CBCD Feed System
Blended material with a PCB concentration below 750 ppm and a moisture
content below 15 percent will be loaded into the CBCD feed hopper using a front-
end loader. The CBCD feed hopper works as a surge hopper for the CBCD
system. Material is conveyed from the bottom of the CBCD feed hopper by the
feed material hopper conveyor. The discharge rate is controlled by the speed of
the belt and/or the discharge gate opening.
The feed material hopper conveyor discharges material on the feed material
incline conveyor. The feed material incline conveyor is shrouded and contains a
weigh belt scale. The weigh belt scale provides data to the CBCD operator on
. flow rate of material to the CBCD desorber feed hopper.
The feed material incline conveyor discharges into . the CBCD desorber feed
hopper. The purpose of CBCD feed hopper is to have material available to enter
into the CBCD desorber and to create a vapor seal for the CBCD desorber.
Therefore, the CBCD desorber feed hopper contains level control for low low,
low, and high levels. At low low level the CBCD desorber twin screw feeder
would be stopped so the vapor seal to the CBCD desorber is not broken. At the
low level setting the CBCD feed material hopper conveyor and feed material
incline conveyor would be activated. At a high setting the CBCD feed material
hopper conveyor and feed material incline conveyor would be stopped.
The CBCD operator will have visual contact of the CBCD desorber feed hopper
via monitor. The CBCD operator will also control the system and have immediate
access to critical system components via operator control panel. The same data
will be available to be monitored but not controlled in the site manager's trailer.
The operator will control the feed into the CBCD desorber by varying the speed
of the CBCD desorber twin screw feeder, which transports materials from the
CBCD desorber feed hopper and discharges the material inside the CBCD
desorber.
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
41
March2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
The variable speed screw conveyor to the CBCD desorber will be calibrated prior
to the start of work. It will be calibrated using variable speed settings in order to
produce a graphical representation of the full operating range of the screw. The
volumetric feed calibration procedure will be used to conduct the calibration.
This procedure entails positioning a tare truck or loader bucket at the discharge
end of the screw (eeder and running the screw feeder at differing speeds in ten-
minute increments. The amount of soil in the tare truck or loader bucket will be
measured at the end of each segment to determine the amount of soil moved at
each speed. Three trials will be conducted at the different speeds in order to
achieve an average for each speed. All points at each speed setting will be plotted
on a graph to develop a speed/weight curve for all soils at that specific density.
Soil density tests will be performed periodically to determine if a density factor
will be applied.
4.5.2 CBCD Desorber
As material will move continuously through the CBCD desorber, the temperature
of the material will increase by indirect heat. The desorber is essentially an inner-
rotating drum surrounded by a fixed outer drum. Heated air produced from the
combustion of #2 fuel oil (the oil burners are located external to the desorber) will
be released into the space between the inner and outer drums. The heat from this
air will be transferred into the inner drum, heating the material as it moves
through the desorber. The heated air (burner exhaust gas) will not contact the
waste material and will be released through stacks located on top of the CBCD.
As the contaminated material travels from the feed end to the discharge end, the
desired material temperature will be reached, resulting in partial chemical
dechlorination/detoxification and physical separation of the contaminants (PCBs
and dioxins/furans) from the materials into the vapor phase. A small portion of the
burner exhaust gas, which has a low oxygen level, will be sent to the feed end of
the desorber and used as sweep gas to remove the contaminants/organics and
water from the desorber. The environment within the desorber will be maintained
as low oxygen (inert) to prevent combustion of organics within the desorber.
Nitrogen or inert gas will be added to the desorber inlet and outlet seals to
minimize oxygen intake, assuring the inert environment within the desorber. A
seal will be provided to prevent leakage of air into the desorber from the material
discharge end.
The fuel oil and burner systems consist of a fuel tank, supply and return lines, fuel
pumps, a minimum of three burner zones for the CBCD system and a CBCD
combustion air fan.
The CBCD operator will monitor the CBCD desorber for proper operation,
including but not limited to:
• Pressure at CBCD desorber inlet
• Temperatures (shell, exit material, and exit gas)
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
42
March2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
• Burner control system
• Reyhdration of treated material (dusting, excess water)
• Mechanical/electrical equipment (e.g. bearings, chain, drive, etc.)
• Sweep gas flow and temperature.
4.5.3 CBCD Rehydration System
The hot, treated material from the CBCD will be transferred by the CBCD
discharge screw conveyor into the double-shaft paddle mixer where water will be
added to cool and rehydrate the treated material. Steam (from cooling of the
material) and carryover particulates will be fed into the CBCD steam scrubber,
which will remove particulate carryover and discharge steam/air into the
atmosphere. The cooled, hydrated material will be discharged to the treated
material stockpile area, utilizing a radial CBCD stacking conveyor. The treated
material will then be sampled and analyzed to assure that the soil treatment
standards are met. Once tested as clean, the materials will be relocated or
backfilled.
4.5.4 CBCD Vapor Recovery system (VRS)
The CBCD exhaust gases ( consisting of sweep gas, steam, and particulates) will
pass through a hot cyclone to remove larger sized particulates. The CBCD hot
cyclone will be insulated and heat traced to prevent loss of temperature through
the unit. This will eliminate condensation from forming and dropping out with
the solid particulates, which will be mixed with the treated materials for cooling
and rehydration.
The CBCD exhaust gases will exit the hot cyclone and enter into a direct contact
quencher/scrubber. The CBCD quencher/scrubber uses the direct contact water to
rapidly cool the exhaust gases to condense steam and contaminants, as well as, to
achieve additional particulate removal.
The CBCD quencher/scrubber will decrease the off gas stream from 900°F to
below 130°F and remove particulates. The bleed from the quencher/scrubber will
be discharged into the condensate collection tank. The quencher/scrubber recycle
stream will be cooled utilizing a heat exchanger (See Section 4.5 .5 Cooling
Tower).
The exhaust gases pass through a mist eliminator contained in the
quencher/scrubber before continuing into the chilled water scrubber to achieve
additional cooling/condensing and particulate removal. Periodic maintenance of
the mist eliminator includes spraying the mist eliminator with water from the
water storage tank.
The chilled water scrubber will reduce the gas stream to below 80°F. The chilled
water scrubber includes a recycle tank and recirculation pumps. The recycle
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
43
March 2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
stream will be pumped through a heat exchanger before being recirculated to the
chilled water scrubber. The chiller is discussed in Section 4.5.6. The bleed from
the chilled water scrubber will be pumped to the condensate collection tank.
The exhaust gases pass through a mist eliminator contained in the chilled water
scrubber before continuing into the wet electrostatic precipitator (WESP) to
achieve additional particulate and mist removal. Periodic maintenance of the mist
eliminator includes spraying the mist eliminator with water from the water storage
tank.
The WESP contains a cooling jacket to promote condensation on the internal
tubes of the WESP where particulates adhere. The WESP contains a sump to
collect and recirculate water to the spray bars of the WESP. Liquid is bled from
the WESP sump continuously to remove collected particulates and is pumped to
the condensate collection tank.
The gases from the WESP will be reheated to reduce the relative humidity before
entering the vapor recovery system induced draft (ID) fan. The vapor recovery ID
fan located downstream of the reheater will be util.ized to pull the gases through
the CBCD-VRS and maintain a slight negative pressure at the CBCD desorber
inlet. A flame arrester is installed between the vapor recovery system ID fan and
the flameless thermal oxidizer (FTO) to prevent a backflash through the CBCD-
VRS system. The FTO provides final polishing of the gases prior to discharge
into the atmosphere through the process stack. The FTO virtually eliminates any
non-condensable organics and residual organic contaminants that were not
removed by the components of the CBCD-VRS described above. Flow through
the CBCD FTO is controlled by the CBCD-FTO forced draft (FD) fan and
ambient air intake bleed valve. The FTO · operates between 1,500 °F and 1,800
Op_
The process stack will be equipped with a continuous stack monitor (CSM) to
measure and record total hydrocarbons in the stack gas. The testing of stack
emissions to determine that air treatment standards established for the project are
met is further described in the PDP (Sections 3, 9, 11), as well as the Air
Monitoring Plan.
Should a problem occur with the CBCD-FTO, then the air stream will by-pass the
FTO and will be treated with vapor phase carbon. Two vapor carbon units will be
placed in series to treat the air stream.
4.5.5 Cooling Tower
The cooling tower is a common system for both the CBCD and BBCD. CBCD
quencher/scrubber recycle will be cooled utilizing cooling tower water and a non-
contact heat exchanger. The return water to the cooling tower absorbs the heat
and is re-cooled in the cooling tower. During re-cooling of the water in the
ETG Environmental, Inc/ BF A Environmental Consultants
44
March2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
cooling tower, water vapor is released to the atmosphere. The release of water
vapor to the atmosphere causes two affects:
1. loss of recirculation water, and
2. Buildup of impurities in the recycle water which may cause fouling of the
cooling tower.
As a result, clean city water is used to replenish the loss of water in the cooling
tower. Cooling water will be bled to reduce the buildup of impurities in the
system.
4.5.6 Chiller
The chiller is a common system for both the CBCD and BBCD systems. The
chiller is used to cool the chilled water scrubber recycle and is used in the cooling
jacket of the WESP to promote condensation within the WESP. Recycle stream
returning to the CBCD chilled water scrubber is cooled by passing through a non
contact heat exchanger cooled by liquid coming from the chiller.
4.5. 7 Emergency Backup Systems
In the case of emergency the following backup systems are incorporated into the
CBCD system:
1. Emergency generator to operate critical process equipment should an
electrical power outage occur. Critical equipment includes discharge
conveyor, induced draft fan, scrubber(s) recycle pumps, cooling tower
recycle pumps, emergency plant lighting, FTO fan, etc.
2. Emergency propane power drive to continue rotating the CBCD drum at a
very slow rate in case of power failure or electric motor failure.
3. Redundant pumps for all critical operating components.
4. Inert gas/N2 system to maintain/generate oxygen deficient environments in
the CBCD and BBCD desorbers.
5. Backup water supply sources (treated process water, treated stormwater,
city water, and process recirculation water).
6. The discharge screw has an alternate discharge to a by-pass container to
unload materials from the CBCD desorber should an upset condition
occur.
7. An emergency relief valve is provided upstream of the hot cyclone.
8. An emergency bypass, located upstream of the FTO FD fan, is provided to
continue system operation in case of FTO upset. In this event, the by
passed air vapor will pass through carbon beds before being discharged to
the atmosphere.

CBCD. The values for these parameters will be sent to the CBCD operator station
where they can be viewed on a panel view. The values will also be stored in a
computer and can be made available for review. All data will be connected to the
data highway, so that operators from other stations along with the site manager
can observe operating parameters across the site which may impact other systems.
When process instrumentation indicates operations outside prescribed ranges, an
alarm will be triggered warning the CBCD operator. The CBCD operator can then
make the necessary adjustments to allow the system to operate within normal
parameters.
4.5.9 CBCD Waste Feed Cutoff Systems
The purpose of the Waste Feed Cutoff (WFC) systems is to provide a mechanism
for immediate action whenever operating parameters deviate outside normal
control limits. There are both automatic and manual waste feed cutoff conditions.
The WFC systems are only applicable to CBCD system. Table 4.5-2 provides a
preliminary list of the WFC parameters and actions to take if parameters deviate
outside of the normal operations range. The CBCD desorber twin screw feeder
will be shut off automatically if the following parameters are outside limits for
normal operations: 1) CBCD desorber face pressure; 2) CBCD material exit
temperature; 3) CBCD gas exit temperature; and 4) WESP exit gas temperature.
In addition to the operating parameters shown on Table 4.5-1 the total
hydrocarbon analyzer in the stack continuous process monitoring system will be
checked for calibration every day. The allowable operating range will be
determined during the performance demonstration test. If the drift of the analyzer
exceeds the allowable limit, the analyzer's calibration will be re-checked for
accuracy. If accurate, the process will be shut off pending further evaluation. The
waste feed system will also shut off automatically if a power failure occurs or the
discharge system fails.
Any unusual situation that may occur that would require further inspection will
trigger a manual WFC. When the parameters deviate from the target values listed
in Table 4.5-2 for the amount of time indicated, an automatic WFC will be
activated. These parameters will be monitored continuously by the CBCD
operators.
The WFC procedures provide assurances that the system will be operated within
accepted operating conditions to accomplish the following:
1) protection of human health ( off-site and on,-site) and the environment, and
2) Prevent damage to the equipment. ·
If the WFC system is initiated, discharged soil will be segregated and sampled to
determine if soil treatment standards have been met.

At any point during operation of the CBCD system, the operator has the option to
initiate a WFC sequence manually. The protocol for conducting a WFC is as
follows:
a. The operator will first stop the feed and operation of the feed conveyor to
a level in the hopper portion where a material seal is maintained to prevent
ambient air from entering the desorber.
b. The desorber will continue to process material until it is empty and
discharge to the stockpile through the discharge screw, double paddle
mixer/cooler, and stacking conveyor.
c. The firing rate for the desorber burners will be reduced due to the
termination of material feed. Shell temperature will be closely monitored
as the remaining material progresses through the unit.
d. The use of treated process aqueous phase condensate to re-hydrate the
treated materials will be discontinued when material is no longer being
discharged into the double paddle mixer/cooler.
e. The induced draft fan will maintain a slight draft in the desorber to purge
the system of process gases. Therefore, condensation of cooled gases and
subsequent vapor phase treatment will continue to occur. Condensate
collection separation and treatment will continue to occur until flows
decline to a negligible level.
f. The scrubbers will be manually shut down as the process gas drops below
minimum temperature.
g. The induced draft fan will be shut down.
4.6 Batch Solid Phase BCD (BBCD System)
The BBCD system allows for batch processing of the contaminated materials. The batch
BBCD system allows for:
•
•
•
•
•
Treatment of materials that contain elevated levels of PCBs and/or moisture content
without interfering with the production of the CBCD system,
The BBCD can treat sludges, filter cake, spent carbon and filter aid produced in the
process condensate separation and aqueous phase treatment (PCSAPT) system,
The BBCD allows for the treatment of concentrated organics,
The BBCD may be the main producer of the organic stream for the liquid BCD
(LBCD) system, and
The BBCD and LBCD systems provide end points for the detoxification of the PCB
contaminated materials.
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants

Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
It is important to note that the BBCD system can treat all levels of PCB contamination
and moisture content. The BBCD process flow is provided in drawing PFD-203 , which
shows the major equipment components and solid, liquid and gas flows.
The following sections describe the BBCD system.
4.6.1 BBCD Feed System
The BBCD desorber is loaded and unloaded from the front of the unit. The
BBCD feed hopper and feed hopper conveyor are placed in position in the front of
the BBCD desorber. Blended material will be loaded into the BBCD feed hopper
using a front-end loader. The BBCD feed hopper functions as a surge hopper for
the BBCD feed conveyor, which feeds the BBCD desorber. The BBCD is loaded
on a volumetric basis, generally, number of loader buckets.
Once the BBCD desorber is loaded the BBCD feed hopper and feed conveyor are
removed and the BBCD desorber closed up.
4.6.2 BBCD Desorber
Once the BBCD operator has secured the BBCD desorber doors and confirmed
the proper operation of the BBCD-VRS system, heat will be applied to the inner
shell drum of the BBCD desorber. The temperature of the material in the BBCD
desorber will increase by indirect heat. The BBCD is essentially an inner-rotating
drum with internal piping surrounded by a fixed outer drum. Heated air produced
from the combustion of #2 fuel oil (the oil burners are located external to the
BBCD) will be released into the internal piping, and the space between the inner
and outer drums, heating the material in the BBCD. The heated air (burner
exhaust gas) will not contact the waste material and will be released through a
stack located on top of the BBCD. As the shell drum adsorbs the heat the desired
material temperature will be reached, resulting in partial chemical
dechlorination/detoxification and physical separation of the contaminants (PCBs
and dioxins/furans) from the materials into the vapor phase.
The fuel oil and burner systems consists of a fuel tank, supply and return lines,
fuel pumps, a burner box for the BBCD system and a BBCD combustion air fan.
The BBCD operator will monitor the following BBCD desorber for proper
operation, including but not limited to:
• Vacuum at the BBCD desorber outlet
• Temperatures (shell, material, burner box outlet, gas, and desorber exit gas)
• Burner control system
• Reyhdration of treated material (dusting, excess water)
• Mechanical/electrical equipment (e.g. bearings, chain, drive, etc.)

4.6.3 BBCD Rehydration System
At the conclusion of the batch cycle, the treated material will be removed by
reversing the rotational direction of the BBCD inner drum. This hot, treated
material is discharged into a mixer where water is added to cool and rehydrate the
treated material. As with the CBCD, steam and particulates from the mixer enter
a scrubber to be removed prior to discharge to the atmosphere. The cool,
hydrated treated material will be discharged to the treated material stockpile for
sampling and analysis. Clean treated material will be relocated or backfilled.
4.6.4 BBCD Vapor Recovery System (VRS)
The BBCD exhaust gases ( consisting of steam, organics and particulates) will
pass through a hot cyclone to remove larger sized particulates. The BBCD hot
cyclone will be insulated and heat traced to prevent loss of temperature through
the unit. This will eliminate condensation from forming and dropping out with the
solid particulates. The removed particulates are collected in a container for
cooling and hydration. The particulates will be sampled and tested to determine if
they meet the material treatment standards. If clean, they will be mixed with the
treated materials for cooling and rehydration. Otherwise, they will be returned to
the CBCD or BBCD for retreatment.
The BBCD exhaust gases will exit the hot cyclone and enter into a direct contact
quencher/scrubber. The BBCD quencher/scrubber uses the direct contact water to
rapidly cool the exhaust gases to condense steam and contaminants, as well as, to
achieve additional particulate removal.
The BBCD quencher/scrubber will decrease the off gas stream from 900°F to
below 130°F. The BBCD quencher/scrubber is a self-contained unit with a
recycle tank that collects the liquid passing through the quencher/scrubber.
Scrubber recycle pumps liquid from the recycle tank back to the
quencher/scrubber after passing through a heat exchanger for cooling (see Section
4.6.5 Cooling Tower).
The exhaust gases pass through a mist eliminator contained in the
quencher/scrubber before continuing into a series of non-contact condensers to
achieve additional cooling/condensing. Periodic maintenance of the mist
eliminator includes spraying the mist eliminator with water from the water storage
tank.
The gases proceed through a primary non-contact condenser located on the
vacuum side of the BBCD liquid ring pump. The warm gases pass through a
primary shell and tube condenser that is cooled with chilled water from the chiller
unit. The chiller is discussed in Section 4.6.6.
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
52
March2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
The liquid condensate is collected in the condensate tank and the gases continue,
through the liquid ring vacuum pump to a secondary non-contact condenser on the
positive side of the vacuum pump. The liquid ring pump provides the vacuum on
the BBCD desorber and pulls the gases through the BBCD-VRS. The secondary
non-contact condenser is chilled with water from the chiller and has its own
condensate tank.
The gases from the secondary non-contact pass through a flame arrester installed
before the BBCD flameless thermal oxidizer (FTO). The flame arrester prevents
a backflash through the BBCD-VRS system. The FTO provides final polishing of
the gases prior to discharge into the atmosphere through the process stack. The
FTO virtually eliminates any non-condensable organics and residual organic
contaminants that were not removed by the components of the BBCD-VRS
described above. Flow through the BBCD FTO is controlled by the BBCD-FTO
FD fan and ambient air intake bleed valve. The BBCD-FTO operates between
1,500 °F and 1,800 °F.
The process stack will be equipped with a continuous process monitor (CPM) to
measure and record total hydrocarbons in the stack gas. The testing of stack
emissions to determine that air treatment standards established for the project are
met is further described in the PDP (Sections 3, 9, 11), as well as the Air
Monitoring Plan.
Should a problem occur with the BBCD-FTO, then the air stream will by-pass the
BBCD-FTO and will be treated with vapor phase carbon. Two vapor carbon units
will be placed in series to treat the air stream.
4.6.5 Cooling Tower
The cooling tower is a common system for both the CBCD and BBCD
quencher/scrubbers. Recycle stream from the BBCD quencher/scrubber and water
from the cooling tower pass through a non-contact heat exchanger. See Section
4.5.5 for further operating parameters for the cooling tower.
4.6.6 Chiller
The chiller is a common system for the CBCD, BBCD, and CBCD systems. The
chiller is used to supply chilled non-contact water that passes through the two
BBCD non-contact condensers and to cool seal water for the BBCD vacuum
pump. See section 4.5.6 for additional information the chiller unit.
4.6. 7 Emergency Backup Systems
In the case of emergency the following backup systems are incorporated into the
BBCD system:
ETG Environmental, Inc/ BF A Environmental Consultants
53
March2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
1. Emergency generator to operate critical process equipment should an
electrical power outage occur. Critical equipment includes vacuum pump,
quencher/scrubber recycle pumps, cooling tower recycle pumps, emergency
plant lighting, BBCD FTO fan, etc.
2. Redundant pumps for all critical operating components.
3. Backup water supply sources (treated process water, treated stormwater, city
water, and process recirculation water).
4. An emergency bypass, located upstream of the FTO FD fan, is provided to
continue system operation in case of FTO upset. In this event, the by passed
air vapor will pass through carbon beds before being discharged to the
atmosphere.
4.6.8 BBCD Process Monitoring Procedures
Operating parameters will be monitored to assure the efficient operation of system
components and to establish the acceptable range of operating conditions. Table
4.6 identifies critical monitoring points with their parameters, instruments, target
values, frequency, instrument range, accuracy and calibration for the BBCD. The
values for these parameters will be sent to the BBCD operator station where they
can be viewed on a panel view. The values will also be stored in a computer and
can be made available for review. All data will be connected to the data highway,
so that operators from other stations along with the · site manager can observe
operating parameters across the site which may impact other systems.
When process instrumentation indicates operations outside prescribed ranges, an
alarm will be triggered warning the BBCD operator. The BBCD operator can then
make the necessary adjustments to allow the system to operate within normal
parameters.
4. 7 Batch Liquid Phase BCD (LBCD System)
The LBCD system allows for batch processing of the PCB contaminated liquids and/or
sludges. The batch LBCD system provides for an end point for the detoxification of the
PCB contaminated materials. Organic materials from the PCSAPT will be sent to the
liquid phase BCD detoxification system (LBCD). LBCD employs a potassiurn/sodium-
based reagent, a hydrogen donor in the form of a high boiling point carrier oil, and
catalyst to chemically detoxify the chlorinated contaminants (PCBs, dioxins/furans).

The carrier oils along with reagent, catalyst, and the contaminated liquids are placed in
the reactor and heated to 600-650° F. The overall liquid BCD reaction process is
represented as follows:
Catalysts
Acceptor -Cl + NaOH + Donor - H
H20
------➔Donor + Acceptor -H + NaCl +
600-650 F
(Acceptor -Cl represents PCBs and polychlorinated dioxins/furans)
During the LBCD process, gases (steam and light organics) will be forced through a
condenser by the vapor pressure generated by the gas stream. The condenser will cool
the gases using non-contact chilled liquid from the chiller and separate gases that
condense above 60-80°F. The gases will be vented to the CBCD-FTO for polishing
before being discharged to the atmosphere. Samples of the oil mixture will be drawn
from the sampling ports and screened for PCBs during processing. Once the PCBs have
been dechlorinated to a concentration acceptable for off-site disposal, the batch will be
continued for an additional 1-2 hours to ensure the completion of dechlorination. At the
end of each batch, the liquid mixture will be cooled using a heat exchanger. The liquid
will then be sent to the organics transfer tank for phase separation. The water phase, if
any, will be pumped to the PCSAPT for further treatment. Organics will then be pumped
to the treated organic tank. When sufficient quantity of organics are collected for
disposal off-site, a sample will be obtained and analyzed for the parameters required by
the specific disposal facility. Upon acceptance by the disposal facility, the treated
organics will be transported to their facility.
Drawing PFD-205 contains a process flow diagram for the batch liquid BCD
detoxification system.
4. 7.1 LBCD Process Monitoring Procedures
Operating parameters will be monitored to assure the efficient operation of system
components and to establish the acceptable range of operating conditions. Table
4. 7 identifies critical monitoring points with their parameters, instruments, target
values, frequency, instrument range, accuracy and calibration for the LBCD. The
values for these parameters will be sent to the operator station where they can be
viewed on a panel view. The values will also be stored in a computer and can be
made available for review. All data will be connected to the data highway, so that
operators from other stations along with the site manager can observe operating
parameters across the site which may impact other systems.
When process instrumentation indicates operations outside prescribed ranges, an
alarm will be triggered warning the LBCD operator. The LBCD operator can then
make the necessary adjustments to allow the system to operate within normal
parameters.

4.8 Process Condensate Separation and Aqueous Phase Treatment (PCSAPT)
System
The PCSAPT system treats all process condensate generated from the CBCD-YRS,
BBCD-VRS and LBCD systems. The PCSAPT process flow diagram is shown on
drawing 204. Section. The following sections describe the PCSAPT system.
4.8.1 Process Condensate Separation System
Condensate from the BBCD will be treated after the soil desorption process is
complete. The condensate collected in the quencher/scrubber and the two
condensate tanks associated with the non-contact condensers will be pumped to
the BBCD centrifuge feed tank. The BBCD-VRS system has been specifically
designed to concentrate the process condensate by limiting the amount of contact
water generated by the BBCD-YRS system.
The process condensate is pumped from the centrifuge feed tank through a
centrifuge for separation of solids and water from the organic phase. The
separated organics will be pumped to the LBCD organic feed tank. The aqueous
phase will be pumped to the condensate collection tank.
The bleed from the quencher/scrubber of the CBCD-YRS discharges into the
condensate collection tank. This tank also collects bleed from the chilled water
scrubber and WESP. Light organics may separate as "floaters" which can be
skimmed off of the top and sent to the LBCD organic feed tank.
The liquor pumped from the bottom of the condensate collection tank will enter a
sludge holding tank to be homogenized prior to feed into a filter press to achieve
liquid/solids separation. The sludge holding and condensate collection tank also
act as surge tanks when the filter press is in its cake discharge cycle.
Due to the anticipated oily nature of the sludge holding tank liquor, a precoat will
be used during each filter press cycle. The filter press system includes a precoat
feed tank and precoat feed pumps.
The sludge holding tank liquor will be pumped through the filter press using a
diaphragm pump. When the pressure in the filter press reaches the maximum
desired operating pressure, the diaphragm pump will be turned off and the filter
press plates pressed to remove additional entrapped filtrate . At the completion of
the press cycle, the pressure is released and the plates opened to drop the filter
cake. The filter cake will be dumped into a storage container designed to be
watertight and easily transported via fork truck, Filter cake will be sent to the
BBCD for treatment as contaminated materials.
Filtrate from the filter press will continue into the filtrate storage tank. The
filtrate storage tank serves as a surge tank and allows for additional physical
ETG Environmental, Inc/ BF A Environmental Consultants
58
March 2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
separation of the filtrate into organic and aqueous phases. The organic fraction, if
any, from the filtrate storage tank will be transferred to the LBCD organic feed
tank. The aqueous phase will continue into the aqueous phase treatment
components of the PCSAPT.
4.8.2 Aqueous Phase Treatment System
The aqueous phase treatment will consist of particulate and organic removal
devices. Filtrate from the filter storage tank will be pumped through a sand filter
for final polishing of suspended solids. Depending upon the concentration and
particle size distribution of the residual suspended solids and oil content of the
filtrate, a multi media filter maybe substituted for the single layer sand filter. In
either situation, the filter system will be equipped with a backwash system
capable of removing sediment buildup. Water from the water storage tank will be
used to backwash the filter media. The backwash water will be discharged into
the condensate collection tank. The backwash system can be operated manually
or automatically using either a differential pressure gauge or on a timed backup
system. At a minimum, two media filters will be available to permit backwashing
of one unit while the other is in operation. ·
The filtrate passing through the filter media will pass through a minimum of two
carbon vessels placed in series. There will be two dual carbon systems to permit
continuous processing through the carbon system while the one system is under
going a carbon change. Spent carbon and spent media filter will be treated in the
BBCD system.
The treated aqueous phase will be stored in the water storage tank.. The effluent
standard for the treated aqueous phase is set at the same standard for the treated
soils, i.e. 200 ppb PCBs or less. The treated aqueous phase will then be suitable
for recycling back into the BCD process, being primarily used for rehydration of
the treated soils. As a backup system to ensure sufficient water is always
available for the rehydration of the treated soils, a city water line will also be
connected to the water storage tank.
4.8.3 PCSAPT System Operation
A plant operator is required to monitor the PCSAPT and the scrubbers in the
CBCD-VRS. The quantity of process condensate is dependent upon the
production rate and moisture content of the feed materials to the BBCD and
CBCD systems. The water usage rate from the water storage tank is dependent
upon the treated material production rate from the CBCD and BBCD units. Parts
of the BCD systems operate continuously, while others operate in a batch mode.
Therefore, it is imperative that the PCSAPT operator be informed of all processes
throughout the BCD system. To assist the PCSAPT operator, the
PCSAPT/LBCD control station will be connected to the data highway, which
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
59
March2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
allows the operator to view all the BCD system processes. The operator at the
control station will be able to monitor and control the PCSAPT/LBCD system.
The operator will monitor the PCSAPT system for proper operation, including but
not limited to:
' • Organic floating layers in the condensate collection and filtrate storage
tanks, · ·
• Level in the condensate collection tank,
• Level in the sludge holding tank,
• Cycle period of the filter press and precoat system status,
• Status of the BBCD system and operation of the batch centrifuge for the
BBCD process condensate,
• Liquid level of filtrate storage tank,
• Backwash cycle and change over to backup sand filter system,
• Carbon change out requirements and switch over to backup carbon filter
systems,
• Liquid level in LBCD organic feed tank, and
• Liquid level in the water storage tank.
The minimum sampling and analysis requirements for full-scale operation are
summarized in Section 6.0 and Table 6-1 of this plan. The Final
Verification/Confirmation Sampling Plan details the BCD Detoxification
sampling and analysis requirements.
4.9 Common Systems
There are a number of systems that are common to various components of the BCD
detoxification system. Below is a brief description of the systems and their operation:
4.9.1 No. 2 Fuel Oil System
Drawing PFD-206 depicts the No. 2 fuel oil system. Number 2 fuel oil will be
combusted to provide heat for the CBCD and BBCD desorbers. The No . 2 fuel
oil will be stored in a 15,000 gallon doubled wall above ground fuel storage tank.
The No.2 fuel oil tank will be equipped with spill and overflow protection and
protected from vehicular and equipment traffic. The CBCD and BBCD systems
contain separate duplex fuel oil pumps to supply fuel oil to the burners. The
duplex pumps also contain a return line to the No. 2 fuel oil storage tank.
The 15,000-gallon No.2 fuel oil tank has a dispenser nozzle for filling the fuel
tanks for heavy equipment utilized on-site. However, due to the location of the
15 ,000-gallon fuel tank to the processing pad and landfill, additional day fuel
tanks will be strategically located to provide fuel for equipment confined to an
exclusion zone.

Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
4.9.2 Nitrogen Cylinders
Nitrogen is used for the seals on the CBCD desorber and on the WESP to ensure
that the units are maintained under an oxygen deficient non-explosive
environment.
4.9.3 Propane System
Propane will be used to power the emergency generator should a power failure
occur. Propane is also used as a fuel source to preheat the beds of the BBCD-
FTO and CBCD-FTO units. In addition, there is a backup motor that is propane
powered to continue rotating the CBCD desorber drum in case of power failure.
4.9.4 Plant and Instrument Compressed Air
Compressed air will be used to operate the diaphragm pumps and the filter press.
In addition compressed air is used for numerous instrument-monitoring devices
on all the major system components. The instrument air will require to be
conditioned for moisture prior to use. Therefore, two separate compressed air
systems will be used; plant air and instrumentation air.
4.9.S Water Storage Tank
The water storage tank primarily receives water treated from the PCSAPT and the
majority of the water use will be for the rehydration of the treated materials. The
water storage tank can also receive treated water from the storm water and
decontamination treatment system when available and when water storage tank
level is low. A tertiary backup system will be to use city water to replenish the
tank.
Water from the water storage tank will also be used in the VRS and PCSAPT
systems and to periodically clean equipment components such as mist eliminators.
4.9.6 Cooling Tower and Chiller
As discussed in Sections 4.5 and 4.6 of this plan, the cooling tower and chiller
service both the CBCD and BBCD systems. The cooling tower is used to cool
recirculation water for the CBCD quencher/scrubber and the BBCD
quencher/scrubber. The chiller provides cooling water for the BBCD non-contact
condensers, the heat exchanger for the BBCD vacuum pump seal water, the heat
exchangers for the chilled water scrubbers, jacket of the WESP, and CBCD
condenser.

Each graphic supports at least 50 dynamic variables. The graphics support
display vectoring (where the operator is able to move from graphic to graphic
by cursor without having to remember a display number to call up). For
example, from an overview graphic, the operator calls up associated graphics
by selecting a certain area or points on the graphic and then with one
keystroke, vectors to the detailed graphic for that area or point. Similarly, if
the operator wants to see a trend, point, group, alarm, etc. type of a display
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants

Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
after selecting the desired point or area on the graphic, a single keystroke is all
that is necessary. A menu bar is included for key operator functions.
All graphic building functions are available at the pixel level, including
character and symbol generation. The system has a standard set of symbols
and characters as well as the ability to generate custom ones.
• Historical Trends: The console is capable of displaying at least-200 historical
trend points. The trend data resides at the operator workstation. The display
can plot at least four different variables simultaneously on a time base and
scale that is easily selected by the operator.
The display has a cursor technique that allows the operator to read the
engineering units of any desired variable at any point on the trend display. The
trend data is configurable to represent the minimum, maximum, average, and
instantaneous value for the sample period.
• Alarm Handling: All designated tags in the system are available for alarming.
For an analog point, high/high, high, low, low/low, deviation, and
rate-of-change alarms are available. Digital variables such as contact closures
are alarmable on a transition in either direction or transitions in both
directions. All alarms are time stamped with one-second resolution. All points
have assignable areas and appropriate alarm summaries to review alarms
grouped by process area.
The system maintains the last 200 alarms on hard disk for rapid playback and
review. It is possible to archive all alarms to floppy disks and CD backup.
The system maintains alarm reviews by priority, process area, time order, and
system alarms. It is possible, with password protection, to easily disable
groups of alarms during start-ups, shutdowns, maintenance turnovers, etc.
There are also dedicated lines on the CRT which always display the most
recent, highest priority, unacknowledged alarm in the system regardless of the
type of display that is currently on the main part of the screen."
Subsystems
• Data Historian: The historian is capable of storing at least 200 variables at
selectable scan rates. There is no loss of data to the archiving disk if the disk
is changed prior to it being full. The system prompts the operator to change
disks as it approaches full capacity and prompts him repeatedly before losing
data. The data stored by the historian is stored on disk in a popular database
format to allow file access from a Personal Computer. The historian
computes, stores and formats analog and digital data onto routine reports. The
three basic reports are :
• Daily Data Analysis -Provides hourly minimum, maximum, and average
for analog inputs.
ETG Environmental, Inc/ BFA Environmental Consultants

Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
• Alarm Analysis Report -Provides a summary of each alarm condition by
providing time of alarm occurrence, time of alarm resetting and net time in
the Alarm State.
• Motor Analysis Report -Motor run time listing the operating time of each
motor.
Miscellaneous
The major system components have a battery backup or other method of retaining
program memory to avoid the need to reload the system after a power outage.
The uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is designed to keep the main PC
workstation operational for 30 minutes in the event of a power loss to the system.
The process monitoring system has the capability to self-document its entire
system configuration. This capability will be evaluated as a trouble shooting and
debugging aid when testing and commissioning.
4.9.8 Electrical Distribution Center
Carolina Power & Light (CP&L) will supply electrical power to the site. The
electrical service will be provided by overhead lines to a transformer located
adjacent to the electrical distribution trailer. The power supply will be 3-phase
480-volt service with a minimum of 1,600 amperes.
The electrical feed will be connected in the electrical distribution trailer equipped
with ground fault intercept and power main disconnect. Inside the electrical
distribution trailer, the power will be distributed to circuit breakers for each of the
major system areas (e.g. CBCD, BBCD, LBCD, PCSAPT, common systems,
support areas). This enables the contractor to electrically isolate an area. The
electrical power for each major system area will likewise have a master panel or
motor control center central to its location from which the electrical power will be
distributed.
As discussed previously, the site will be equipped with an emergency generator
such that critical system components can be maintained in the event of loss of
CP&L power. The generator is powered by fuel oil.
4.9.9 Maintenance/ Parts Inventory
Maintaining systems and equipment is vital to operating a project safely,
economically, and with a minimum amount of downtime. The contractor will be
required to have a staff knowledgeable in mechanical, electrical and
instrumentation maintenance. At a minimum, there will be at least one
maintenance person on-site at all times. The maintenance staff will be trained to
perform routine maintenance on the equipment. The maintenance staff will be
equipped with the proper maintenance equipment and tools necessary to perform

preventative/routine maintenance and anticipated repairs to the systems. The
contractor will provide a detailed preventative/routine maintenance schedule for
the equipment, identifying the daily, weekly and manufacturer recommended
milestone services ( e.g., hours of service operation). The maintenance supervisor
will maintain records of all the preventative/routine servicing and repairs
performed during the project.
The Contractor will be required to maintain a detailed inventory of spare parts.
Parts critical to the operation will be inventoried on-site. The maintenance
supervisor will identify local sources for emergency parts, and repairs that cannot
be performed by the on-site maintenance staff. As necessary, service contracts
will be executed with specialty subcontractors for parts, supplies, and/or services.

6.0 SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS FULL-SCALE OPERATION
The Final Verification/Confirmation Sampling Plan (FVCSP) details the minimum full-
scale sampling and analysis to be performed for the PCB Landfill Detoxification project.
Special sampling and analysis requirements to be performed during the Performance
Demonstration testing are contained in the Performance Demonstration Plan. Table 6-1
summarizes the full-scale sampling and analyses to be performed for the BCD operation.
6.1 Types Of Samples
The FVCSP describes four categories of samples to be collected and analyzed for this
project:
1) Verification Samples: Verification samples will be collected and analyzed in the field
to provide the site management with information to make daily operational decisions.
2) Confirmation Samples: Confirmation samples will be analyzed by a laboratory
certified to perform the applicable parameters under either North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) Subchapter 2H.0800, or the Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA) Contract Laboratory Program (CLP). Unless otherwise noted in the
FVCSP, field procedures must be in compliance with the May 1996 US EPA Region
IV Environmental Investigations Standard Operating Procedures and Quality
Assurance Manual (SOP). Field procedures include, but are not limited to, proper
chain of custody protocols, sampling methods, preservation, containerization, field
blanks, duplicates, matrix and matrix spikes and shipping procedures.
3) Informational Samples: Informational samples can be analyzed either through field
screening methods or the use of laboratory analysis. The designation "informational"
means that the sample is not a regulatory or permitted sample/ discharge parameter.
The informational samples are generally influent or intermediate process samples to
determine the effectiveness of a process system or components of a process system.
These samples allow the Contractor to monitor and adjust the effectiveness of the
process system. The Contractor may desire to collect samples from additional
locations or increase frequency of an informational sample location, as they deem
appropriate. However, the Contractor will not be compensated by NCDENR for
additional information samples collected and analyzed.
4) Control Samples: Control samples are collected at points of discharge (regulatory or
required by permit). Only certified laboratories can analyze control samples, as these
are considered confirmation samples. The sampling frequency of control samples
shall not be decreased without the approval of the State and regulatory agency. As
with confirmation samples, field procedures must be compliant with the EPA Region
IV Environmental Investigations Standard Operating Procedures and Quality
Assurance Manual (SOP).

Table 6-1 provides the sampling location, frequency, quality control requirements, type
of sample, data use (Informational or Control), analysis and minimum estimated samples
for the full-scale operations. The following sections describe each sample area.
6.2 Untreated Materials
Untreated materials will be sampled and analyzed during three phases of the project:
• Performance Demonstration,
• Excavation Activities, and
• Post Excavation.
6.2.1 Performance Demonstration (PD) Sampling Untreated Materials
Samples collected during the PD are to provide a baseline of the material
contaminants and concentrations. The analysis will provide information on the
PCB and dioxins/furans concentrations prior to treatment. .. In addition to the PCB
and dioxins/furans analysis, untreated materials will be . analyzed to fully
characterize the materials to be treated.
6.2.2 Excavation Sampling Untreated Materials
During full-scale operations, samples of the untreated material will be collected
everyday of excavation activities. These samples, referred to as Informational
samples in Table 6-1, are for segregating the excavated materials prior to
treatment through the CBCD or the BBCD. The following guideline will apply:
• BBCD-Untreated material with a PCB concentration of 750 ppm or greater,
or a percent moisture content of 15 percent or greater;
• All other untreated materials to either the CBCD or BBCD.
6.2.3 Post Excavation Sampling Untreated Soils
Verification and confirmation samples will be collected from the sidewalls and
floor of the excavated landfill. Excavation will continue until the PCB
contaminated materials, the filter fabric and six-inches of the five-foot thick clay
liner are removed. The Contractor will design a sampling grid over the base and
sidewalls of the excavation. Grid nodes will not be greater than 50 feet apart.
A portion of the sediments located in the existing pond have been tested and
determined to contain elevated levels of PCBs above the cleanup standard. The
affected area extends from the discharge pipe of the existing water treatment
system and proceeds toward the center of the pond. The sediments will be
excavated from the pond and post excavation samples will be collected and
analyzed in the field using the PCB immunoassay test (verification) and then
submitted to a laboratory for PCBs ( confirmation). At a minimum, three sediment
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
78
March 2000
Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
samples will be collected to verify/confirm the remaining sediments are at or
below the PCB cleanup standard of 200 ppb.
6.3 Treated Materials
Treated soils will be sampled and analyzed during three phases of the project:
• Performance Demonstration
• First Two Weeks Of Full-scale Operations, and
• Remainder Of Project.
6.3.1 Performance Demonstration (PD) Sampling Treated Materials
Treated samples will be collected from each CBCD and BBCD PD test. The
analytical results will confirm the treated materials meet the soil cleanup criteria
for this project, and also that the treated materials are not hazardous for other
constituents.
6.3.2 First Two Weeks Full-scale Operations Sampling Treated Materials
The sampling plan for treated materials is predicated on the successful completion
of the performance demonstration test and that no other contaminants of concern
were identified.
Treated materials from the CBCD and BBCD will be separated into distinct
stockpiles. Each CBCD stockpile will contain two days of processed material and
each BBCD stockpile will contain one week of processed material. One
composite sample for each stockpile will be collected sent to a laboratory for
PCBs and dioxin/furans analysis.
6.3.3 Remainder ·Full-scale Operations Sampling Treated Material
Treated materials from the CBCD will continue to be grouped in two-day
stockpiles. The sampling protocol will remain the same, with one composite
sample collected and analyzed by a laboratory for PCBs.
A monthly stockpile will be generated of materials treated in the BBCD unit or
one sample per batch for materials treated with an initial PCB concentration
greater than 750 ppm. One monthly composite sample will be collected and
analyzed by a laboratory for PCBs and dioxin/furans. Similarly, each batch
stockpile treated from materials containing PCBs greater than 750 ppm will have
one composite sample collected and analyzed for by a laboratory for PCBs and
dioxin/furans.

Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
6.4 Liquid BCD Detoxification System Sampling
Organics containing PCB concentrations will require detoxification/dechlorination
treatment in the LBCD process. The sampling frequency may be modified to correspond
with the quantity of organics being treated per LBCD batch and the variance of PCB
concentrations contained in the collected organic stream.
At a predetermined time, when the reaction period is anticipated to be completed (note:
batch specific, dependant upon initial PCB concentration and other variables) samples
will be collected from set sample ports. The sample will be screened for PCBs using the
immunoassay test. When sufficient quantity of organics are collected in the treated
organic storage tank, a confirmation sample will be collected and analyzed for PCBs, and
any other parameters required by the disposal facility. A certified laboratory will analyze
the confirmation sample.
6.5 Process Condensate Separation and Aqueous Phase Treatment Sampling
The following samples will be collected, at a minimum, to monitor the PCSAPT
performance.
6.5.1 Filter Cake Sampling
A composite sample of each day's production of filter cake during the PD and
first two weeks of full scale operation will be screened for PCBs using the
immunoassay test and tested on site for percent moisture. These samples are for
informational purposes, as the filter cake may be reprocessed through the BBCD
process, due to the anticipated elevated level of PCBs in the filter cake.
It is anticipated that after two weeks of full-scale production, the sampling
frequency can be reduced to once a week.
6.5.2 Sand Filter Influent Sampling
To evaluate the performance of the process condensate separation system, a
sample of the aqueous filtrate will be collected prior to proceeding through the
aqueous phase portion of the treatment system (sand filtration and carbon
polishing).
During the PD and first two weeks of full-scale operations a sample will be
collected daily. After which a sample will be collected, at a minimum, once per
week. The sample will be analyzed on site for total suspended solids (TSS) and
for PCBs.

6.5.3 Midfluent Carbon System Sampling
The aqueous phase treatment system concludes with, a minimum of two carbon
units placed in series for polishing. A sample will be collected after the first
carbon unit and analyzed on site for PCBs using the immunoassay test. This data
will determine when break through for_ PCBs has occurred, and carbon change-out
is required. The data will also provide information to the treatment operator
regarding carbon efficiency and anticipated carbon change-outs. A sample result
above 200 ppb will require the carbon to be changed-out.
Sample frequency will be, at a minimum, one sample per week, data results may
dictate more frequent sampling.
6.5.4 Effluent Carbon Treatment Sampling
To monitor the effectiveness of the PCSAPT system for treatment of PCBs, an
effluent sample will be collected at least weekly. The sample will be sent to
laboratory and analyzed for PCBs. The target cleanup level is less than <200 ppb.
6.6 CBCD Quencher/Scrubber Recycle
In an effort to evaluate the quality of the CBCD quencher/scrubber recycle, samples will
be collected from the CBCD quencher/scrubber system. Data from these samples will
allow the treatment operator to evaluate the CBCD quencher/scrubber performance.
Samples will be collected form either a sample port installed in the recycle line, or
directly from the recycle tank.
The samples will be analyzed for TSS, pH, total organic carbon (TOC) and chlorides.
The results are for informational purposes only. During the first PD and two weeks of
full-scale operations a sample will be collected daily from each unit. Thereafter, the
minimum sample schedule will be weekly.
6.7 Storm Water/Decontamination Water Sampling
Sampling ports will be installed on the Storm Water/Decontamination Water treatment
system in order to collect samples prior to treatment, midfluent of the carbon system and
effluent quality. The influent and midfluent samples are for informational purposes, the
effluent sample is a Control sample and subject to applicable permit requirements.
Currently, the Spray Irrigation System permit requires that the concentration of PCBs in
the effluent wastewater to be applied by the system shall not exceed 1 ppb PCBs. The
sampling frequency is once per month. The proposed sampling frequency for this project
is once per week for the first four weeks of full-scale operation, followed by monthly,
thereafter. The samples will be analyzed for PCBs. At a minimum, the effluent sample
(Control sample) must be analyzed by a laboratory certified to perform PCB analysis.
The actual permit received by the Contractor for the spray irrigation system will predicate
the sampling frequency and analytical requirements.

6.8 Miscellaneous Sampling
The intent of the project is to treat all PCB contaminated materials on-site. However, due
to logistics, there will be a relatively small quantity of residual materials that will require
disposal off-site. These may include, but not be limited to:
• Spent Personal Protective Equipment (PPE),
• Porous oversize debris,
• Sand and carbon from last units used for treatment,
• Decontamination water generated after treatment systems are dismantled,
• Spent rags and materials used for decontaminating equipment, and
• Miscellaneous trash and debris including scrap steel.
These waste streams will require sampling and analytical data for proper disposal and
documentation. The disposal facility requirements, the physical nature of the waste
stream (porous, non-porous, solid, liquid, etc.), and how the waste was generated will
determine the sampling and analytical requirements.

7.0 AIR MONITORING
The Air Monitoring Plan details the air monitoring and sampling requirements for the
full-scale operation of the site. Special sampling and analysis requirements to be
performed during the Performance Demonstration testing are contained in the
Performance Demonstration Plan. Monitoring and sampling for the health and safety of
the site personnel and surrounding community is contained in the HASP. The following
sections highlight the air-monitoring program.
7.1 Background Monitoring
Background air monitoring data will be compared against operational air monitoring data
to determine the impact of the remediation activities on air quality.
7.2 Meteorological Station
A meteorological station will be located on-site to monitor temperature, barometric
pressure, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction and precipitation. The data
collected from the station will be recorded daily in the logbook. The daily wind direction
will determine the up-and downwind locations for air monitoring and sample collection.
7.3 Construction Mo1_1itoring
During the equipment mobilization and set-up phase, prior to any excavation, daily
monitoring will be performed. Real time organic vapor and dust monitoring equipment
will measure dust and particulate levels within and outside of the work areas.
7.4 Landfill Excavation
The HSO will monitor airborne emissions and operator exposures during excavation
activities. Emissions will be monitored in the landfill work area and up-and downwind
from the excavation. Direct reading instruments will monitor for respirable dust and for
voes twice per shift.
During the first few weeks of excavation, periodic personnel samples will be collected
and submitted for laboratory analysis (see the HASP). This sampling will occur
concurrent with the excavation of PCB contaminated soils.
7.5 BCD Processing Area
The HSO will monitor the airborne emissions and personnel exposures during all work
shifts within and downwind of the BCD processing area. Direct reading instruments will
monitor for VOCs at a minimum of twice per shift. Dust monitoring will occur
concurrent with screening and stockpiling activities.

Site Operations Work Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
7.6 Stack Emission Monitoring
In addition to the process area monitoring, continuous process stack monitoring will be
conducted. The monitoring points will be located at the discharge of the thermal
oxidizers for both the CBCD and BBCD systems. Stack emission monitoring provides
total hydrocarbon (THC) readings using a THC analyzer.
7.7 · Stack Testing
Stack emission tests will be conducted during the POP testing to verify that CBCD and
BBCD stack emissions do not exceed established federal and state action levels off-site.
A qualified stack-testing contractor will conduct all stack tests. During each of the three
performance test runs, two stacks, one each for the BBCD and CBCD systems will be
tested. The stack sampling will occur at the discharge of the thermal oxidizers.
7.8 Perimeter Area
The site perimeter has been established as the State boundary. During all operations, the
HSO or his/her representative will monitor the airborne emissions at least twice per shift,
adjacent to the perimeter, at one upwjnd and two downwind locations. Direct reading
instruments will monitor for VOCs and respirable dust.
Additional quantitative monitoring will take place during the POP and early phases of
work. See Table 3-2 of the Air Monitoring Plan for a summary of the sampling plan.
The frequency and numbers of samples collected will decrease as site work continues
(assuming earlier analysis proves low or no levels of constituents).
7.9 Engineering Controls
Appropriate engineering controls will be instituted to reduce emissions in the event the
action level is exceeded during remedial activities. Examples of engineering controls for
dust control include spraying of water, covering sources of dust, and reducing vehicle
speeds on access roads or speed of excavation. Examples of engineering controls for
VOCs include spraying stockpiles with foam or covering stockpiles with plastic sheeting
or other barriers.

Health & Safety Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Site Health and Safety Plan (HASP) has been developed for the detoxification of the Warren County PCB
Landfill in Warren County, North Carolina. The project will be perfonned under the direction of the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR). A Citizens Advisory Board (CAB) has been
established to work with NCDENR.
This HASP has been prepared to set forth the minimum requirements the successful Contractor must include in the
required HASP. The purpose of the HASP is to provide a document describing policies and procedures that will
protect the health and safety of all employees, sub-contractors, and related personnel involved in this project
working within the designated work and support zones, as well as protect the surrounding community. All project
activities will be conducted in a manner that minimizes the probability of injury, accident or incident occurrence.
The Contractor will provide a site specific HASP prior to initiating work activities at the site.
The Contractor's plan shall focus on the specific operational procedures, but also remain flexible due to the nature of
the work. Conditions may change and unforeseen situations may arise that require deviations from the original plan.
Flexibility allows modification by supervisors and health and safety personnel with approval from the project
Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH). All project personnel shall be required to read the HASP, receive a detailed
orientation by the Health and Safety Officer (HSO), and to sign the acknowledgement form to document their
understanding and willingness to comply with the contents. The HSO will keep the acknowledgment forms on file
at the site.
A copy of the HASP will be maintained at the Contractor's Corporate Office and at the Site. The plan will be
available and accessible to all employees.
1.1 Statement of Health and Safety Policy
The Contractor has an obligation to protect the integrity of its' human, physical, anq financial resources.
The Contractor also has the responsibility to manage their business in such a way that their resources are
conserved and utilized effectively.
The goal of the Contractor will be to :
• Furnish a safe and healthful work place.
• Hold supervisors accountable for maintaining all safety standards in the workplace and regularly
measure their achievement in preventing accidents, controlling exposures, and losses.
• Hold each employee accountable for his/her own safety performance.
• Develop and implement an effective health and safety program.
• Recognize health and safety as the first priority where there is competition with economic considerations.
• Train employees in safety procedures, work practices, and require compliance with all regulations.
• Ensure compliance with all state and federal health and safety standards and regulations.
• Provide a professional staff to support and monitor health and safety programs.
• Inform all visitors, consultants, contractors, and subcontractors concerning the health and safety
programs and ensure that they comply with these at all times while on-site.
1.2 Scope and Applicability of the Operational Health and Safety Plan
The purpose of this plan is to define the minimum health and safety requirements and designate the
protocols to be followed during remedial activities at the Warren County PCB Landfill Detoxification Site.
The applicability of the HASP will extend to all employees, contractors, subcontractors, and visitors
working on or around designated work and/or support zones.
The development and preparation of the Contractor's HASP shall be based on specific information and
waste profiles of materials and substances to be treated. If actual site conditions vary from the information
and data used to prepare this HASP, amendments shall be made to reflect those changes.

1.3 Visitors, Vendors, Skilled Support Personnel
The Contractor will supply a drawing identifying the Support Zones (SZ) the Contamination Reduction
Zones (CRZ) and the Exclusion Zones (EZ) at the site. All visitors entering the CRZ and EZ at the Site
shall be required to read and verify compliance with the provisions of the HASP.
Appropriately trained personnel will escort visitors without Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency
Response (HAZWOPER) training, in the event that "skilled support personnel" are needed for emergency
repairs or work situations. The visitors, vendors and skilled support personnel will receive a Site
orientation prior to performing their scope of work. The orientation shall include instruction in the wearing
of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), what chemical hazards are involved, and what duties
are to be performed. Any effort where skilled support personnel are needed shall be coordinated through
the HSO in conjunction with the Shift Superintendent. The HSO will oversee all such activities pursuant to
29 CFR 1910.120 (q) (4).
1.4 Site History/Description
The Warren County PCB Landfill (Site) is located in Warren County, North Carolina, and approximately
50 miles north of Raleigh, North Carolina. A location map is attached as Drawing O 10. The Site is situated
within a tract of land owned by the State of North Carolina that covers 19.3 17 acres. The Site includes a
2.54-acre landfill cell (PCB Landfill) that contains soils with elevated levels of Polychlorinated biphenyls
(PCBs) and dioxins/furans. Approximately half of the remaining State property immediately adjacent to
the Landfill is cleared of vegetation. The remaining State property is undisturbed with moderately dense
population of trees approximately 30 feet in height. A gravel road approximately 3,000 feet long provides
access to the Site from State Route 1604. A Site map is included in Appendix 1 -PCB Waste Disposal
Site As-Built.
The PCB Landfill is approximately 250 feet wide (measured in an east to west direction) and 500 feet long.
Approximately 40,000 cubic yards of soils were deposited into the Landfill from the remediation of
roadways throughout the State that were illegally sprayed with PCB oils to avoid proper disposal of the oils
under Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA). Approximately twenty percent of the soils originated from
the Fort Bragg Military Reservation near Southern Pines, North Carolina (NC) and are assumed to be of a
similar nature to the balance of the contaminated soils. The PCB concentrations in the soil ranged from
259 parts per million (ppm) to a high of 853 ppm, with an average concentration of 500 ppm. Dioxin/furan
concentrations ranged from 147 parts per trillion (ppt) [toxicity equivalent concentrations (TEQ)] to 238
ppt, with an average concentration of 200 ppt TEQ. This data has been reported in the Phase I Base
Catalyzed Decomposition (BCD) study, and is included as Appendix II -Historical Soil Data.
The maximum depth of the PCB Landfill at the center is approximately 36 feet, which includes the lower
liner and existing cover. The depth at the perimeter is approximately 20 feet. The existing ground surface
of the cleared area begins at the same elevation as the perimeter of the PCB Landfill. In addition to the
PCB contaminated soils, a relatively small quantity of cement kiln dust (less than 5-percent of the total
volume) occupies the northeast corner of the PCB Landfill. Approximately one-half of the PCB Landfill
rises above the existing ground surface. The PCB Landfill was completed in 1983.
Appendix I -PCB Waste Disposal Site, Warren County contains the as-built drawings for the landfill. As
shown on the drawings, the PCB Landfill was constructed as follows from top to bottom:
1' Top Soil
1' Fill for bridging and Liner Protection
10 Mil PVC Liner
2' Clay Liner
1' Fill for bridging
O' -24' PCB Contaminated Soils

Warren County PCB Landfill
The bottom of the landfill is sloped from south to north and west to east at 2% grade. A single sump was
installed in the northeast comer of the landfill approximately one foot in depth into the five foot thick clay
liner. A single PVC collection pipe was installed from the sump extending through the surface of the
landfill. A positive air displacement pump was placed into the sump and leachate from the landfill has
been pumped from the sump through a sandfilter and carbon system located at the northern end of the
landfill.
During evaluation of the potential detoxification technologies, the primary objective was to utilize a
process that actually destroyed PCBs and dioxin/furans in a non-incineration manner. The BCD process
utilizes chemical destruction to achieve this objective. The BCD process is a chemical reaction that
destroys PCBs and dioxins/furans by removing the chlorine atom from the chlorinated compound and
replacing it with hydrogen, thus rendering the molecule to a non hazardous compound. The process is
conducted in both the solid and liquid phase.
The BCD process was invented by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) National
Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) and has been further developed by a few select
companies working in collaboration with USEPA and other institutional and industrial providers of
hazardous waste treatment services.
1.5 Scope of Work and Treatment Systems
The general scope of work at the Site will address the following areas:
• BCD Process Equipment Mobilization
• Site Preparation
• BCD Process System Construction
• System Performance Demonstration/Start-up
• Excavation and Treatment
• Backfill
• Decontamination
• Demobilization
• Site Reclamation
• Program Management
In overview, the BCD Detoxification System utilizes multiple components to treat contaminated feed
materials and the associated vapor and liquid streams that result from the treatment process. Individual
components of the solid, vapor, and liquid phase treatment systems are controlled by system
operators/technicians. The BCD Detoxification System will include the following:
• One continuous solid phase BCD thermal desorption unit (CBCD),
• One batch vacuum solid phase BCD/thermal desorption unit (BBCD),
• Two air pollution control systems or vapor recovery systems (YRS), one each for the CBCD (CBCD-
VRS) and BBCD (BBCD-VRS), and
• One process condensate separation and aqueous phase treatment system (PCSAPT), and
• One liquid phase BCD detoxification system (LBCD).
The Contractor shall provide process flow diagrams, P&IDs, and general arrangement drawings for the
screening and BCD blending plant, CBCD, BBCD, LBCD, PCSAPT, and storm water/decontamination
water/excavation water management system.

3.2 Task Assessment/Hazard Analysis
The site activities that shall be conducted may involve exposure resulting from direct contact with
contaminated soil/sediment and surface water during remedial operations. Airborne particulate and vapors
emanating from excavations and the BCD Detoxification System may present potential exposures through
ingestion and/or inhalation. Due to the implementation of engineering controls and PPE, the hazards due to
the presence of anticipated chemicals are expected to be minimal.
The hazards associated with this treatment process can be classified into three categories: chemical,
physical, and environmental/biological. The Contractor must define the potential hazards associated with
each of the defined activities, and the control measures to be implemented to minimize or eliminate these
hazards. Table 3-2 is an example of a list of work activities and associated potential hazards. The
Contractor shall provide in their HASP a Task Assessment/Hazard Analysis (TAHA) for each task activity
to be performed at the site. The TAHA shall include, but not be limited to the following:

3.3 Chemical Toxicity Hazard Assessment
A listing of all chemicals detected during prior testing are listed in Table 3-3-1 . A dust exposure
calculation was performed to determine the PCB exposure limit in terms of allowable dust based upon the
highest concentration of PCBs detected in the soils. The calculation is provided in Appendix VIII.
The primary chemical toxicity hazards for this operation are PCBs and dioxin/furans. During thermal
treatment operations, the potential exposure to identified contaminants is reduced due to the engineering
controls/equipment utilized in the treatment process.
Based on the waste streams to be processed, the greatest risk of exposure to hazardous materials is through
inhalation of vapors and dust associated with processing wastes and ingestion of PCBs and dioxin/furans
during actual material handling activities. The following chemical hazard assessment and risk analysis is
based on a review of selected documentation contained in Appendix III. For each contaminant identified,
the following specific information is given:
• Physical Properties,
• Route of Entry,
• Exposure Target Organs, and
• Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) in Air
3.4 Potential Routes of Exposure
The primary routes of exposure associated with the operation of the BCD Detoxification System are
through ingestion, contact and inhalation. Site activities that will be conducted may involve potential
exposure resulting from direct contact with solid waste streams, condensate, stormwater, and vapor and
airborne particulate(s) emanating from the BCD Detoxification process.
To reduce potential exposure to known hazards, air monitoring using direct reading instruments will be
performed for dust/particulate, oxygen, combustible gases, and organic compounds during work activities.
Personal air monitoring on employees with potential high risk exposure will be performed using personal
air pumps during the performance demonstration and initial operations. Data from such sampling will be
used to define levels of protection and additional personnel monitoring. The personal sampling
requirements are included in Section 6.3 . In addition to respiratory protection, engineering controls (such
as water spray application, covering piles, etc.) are extremely important for operations that have a potential
for generating air contaminants in excess of permissible exposure limits. These will be used on this site to
reduce exposure to known hazards.
Direct contact of the skin and eyes is another important route of exposure to be considered on this project.
In order to protect workers against potential contact with hazardous materials, they shall be required to
wear personal protective clothing and eye protection during waste treatment activities. Proper personal
decontamination procedures shall be emphasized during all activities.
Employees shall be made aware of how exposure through ingestion can occur and methods to avoid such
exposure. Deliberate ingestion of chemicals is unlikely and personal hygiene habits such as eating,
drinking and smoking which provide a route of entry for contaminants will be restricted to specific areas.
Proper decontamination procedures will help to reduce or eliminate the potential for ingesting hazardous
materials. Facilities will be provided and site personnel will be required to wash their hands, face and other
exposed parts of their skin before eating, drinking or smoking, which will be permitted only in designated
areas.

4.0 SITE CONTROL PROCEDURES
4.1 Site Work Zones
Site work zones will be established and delineated prior to the commencement of operations.
The Contractor will provide site layout drawing depicting the location of the Contamination Reduction
Zone (CRZ) and decontamination areas. The established support zones will be accessed through
designated decontamination areas. The three general work zones to be established at the facility are the
Exclusion Zone (EZ), CRZ, and Support Zone (SZ).
The EZ is defined as the area where contamination is either known or likely to be present, or because of
activity, will provide a potential to cause harm to personnel. Entry into the Exclusion Zone requires the use
of personal protective equipment. Personnel working within this zone will be required to meet all
applicable requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120 and the requirements of this HASP.
The EZ shall be large enough to encompass work activities and account for the potential migration of
contaminants above the PEL. When possible, engineering controls will be used to prevent the migration of
contaminants, and protect individuals outside of the exclusion zone.
The CRZ, also referred to as the decontamination zone, is the area where personnel conduct personal and
equipment decontamination, storage of PPE/equipment, etc. It is essentially a buffer zone between
contaminated areas and clean areas. Generally, activities to be conducted in this zone require personal

6.0 MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
This section specifies the surveillance activities that will take place during on-site act1V1t1es for personal air
monitoring and sampling. The Perfonnance Demonstration Plan and Air Monitoring Plan detail the stack testing
and perimeter air sampling and analysis to be preformed during the perfonnance demonstration testing and full scale
operations. This section discusses the personal air monitoring and sampling to be conducted in the various work
zones.
The purpose of air monitoring is to identify and quantify airborne contaminants in order to verify and/or detennine
the level of worker protection needed. Two principal approaches are available for identifying and/or quantifying
airborne contaminants:
l) The on-site use of direct-reading instruments. e.g., Photo-ionization Detector, Combustible Gas Indicator,
Aerosol Dust monitor, and Colormetric tubes e.g. Benzene.
· 2) Laboratory analysis of air samples obtained by collection media (i .e., filter, sorbent) for the target
compounds.
6. 1 Direct-Reading Monitoring Instruments
Direct-reading instruments provide information at the time of sampling. The data obtained from the real-time
monitors is used to assure proper selection of personnel protection equipment, engineering controls, and work
practices. Overall, the instruments provide the user the capability to determine if site personnel are being exposed to
concentrations, which exceed exposure limits or action levels for classes of hazardous materials, e.g., VOCs, LEL,
particulates/dust. Table 6.1 excerpted from Occupational Safety and Health Guidelines for Hazardous Waste Site
Activities, provides an overview of available monitoring instrumentation and their specific operating parameters.
Air Monitoring Instruments (equivalent meters may be used)
1. Combination Combustible Gas Indicator/Oxygen/Hydrogen Sulfide Meter
2. Ultraviolet (UV) Photo ionization Detector (PID)
3. Direct Reading Colormetric Indicator Tubes, i.e., Hydrogen Cyanide
4. Real Time Aerosol Monitor -MIE PDM-3
5. Heat Stress Monitor -WBGT
6. Single Contaminant Meter i.e. Hydrogen Sulfide
Table 6-1 Direct Reading Instruments
A. Instrument: Combustible Gas Indicator (CG!) and Oxygen Meter
Hazard Monitored: Combustible gases and vapors, and oxygen
Application: Measures the percentage of a combustible gas or vapor and oxygen
Detection Method: Combustible gas: A filament, usually made of platinum, is heated by burning
the combustible gas of vapor. The increase in heat is measured. A current is produced in
proportion to the number of carbon atoms present. Oxygen: uses an electrochemical sensor to
measure the partial pressure of Oxygen in air, and converts that reading to percent oxygen.
General Care/Maintenance: Recharge or replace battery. Calibrate immediately before use. The
unit will be calibrated daily to the manufacturers specification.

Example: HNU PI-I 01 (or equivalent)
C. Instrument: Direct Reading Colormetric Indicating Tube(s).
Hazard Measured: Specific gas and vapors, e.g., Hydrogen Cyanide
Applications: Measures concentration of specific gases and vapors.
Detection Method: The compound reacts with the indicator chemical in the tube, producing a stain
whose length or color change is proportional to the compound's concentration. Instrument may
have interference's.
General Care/Maintenance: Check pump for leaks before and after use. Refrigerate tubes before
use to maintain a shelf life of about 2 years. Check expiration date of tubes. Calibrate pump
volume at least quarterly. Avoid rough handling, which may cause channeling of air through
tubes.
Example: Drager Tubes and Bellows Pump (or equivalent)
D. Instrument: Real Time Aerosol Monitor
Hazard Monitored: Particulate
Application: Measures total and respirable particulate in air.
Detection Method: Uses an internal light source. The particulate diffracts the light beam and the
amount of diffraction is converted into concentration (mg/m3).
Gen. Care/Maintenance: Recharge batteries. Replace desiccant when necessary.

Typical Operating Time: 8-12 hours.
Example: MIE PDM-3 (or equivalent)
E. Instrument: Heat Stress Monitor
Hazard Monitored: Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, WBGT
Application: Measures heat stress index to control heat stress.
Detection Method: Thermocouples or wet, dry and globe temperatures.
General Care/Maintenance: Check the level of water in wet bulb, check battery daily.
Example: Sling Psychrometer (or equivalent)
F. Instrument: Hydrogen Sulfide Meter
Hazard Monitored: Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
Detection Method: Uses an electrochemical sensor to measure the partial pressure of H2S in the
air, and converts that reading to H2S concentrations.
Typical Operating Time: 8-12 Hours.
Example: Industrial Scientific MX 261 or TMX 410 (or equivalent)
Direct-reading real time air monitoring action level lattices for operational activities are listed in Tables 6-2.
Contained in Appendix VIII-is the calculation of PCBs in dust using the highest concentration of PCBs
detected in the soil before the PCB exposure limit of 0.5 mg/m3 is exceeded. It was calculated that 147
mg/m3 of dust would be permissible before the PCB exposure limit was exceeded. Since this exceeds the
respirable dust exposure limit of 5.0 mg/m3 the respirable dust exposure limit will become the action limit.
6.2 Site Air Monitoring and Sampling Program
The sampling and analysis will focus on PCBs, dioxins, organics and particulates/dust. The analytical
results will be compared to the contaminant work zone action level lattice. Based upon the analytical
results a sampling program will be finalized for the full-scale project. In addition, further engineering
controls may be instituted to reduce airborne contaminants. Table 6-3 Personnel Monitoring and Sampling
Summary depicts the site personal air monitoring and sampling program for the site.
Periodically, minimally twice per shift, all operational areas will be surveyed to measure respirable dust
levels during on-site activities, the HSO will monitor the work area with real time instruments. Air
monitoring shall focus in the worker's breathing zone, although source readings may be taken for reference.
Table 6-3 identifies the minimum requirements for monitoring/sampling locations and frequency. The
instantaneous reading recorded by the instrument will be documented unless the readings are fluctuating at
or near the detection level. In these cases a sustained reading will be determined. A sustained monitoring
period consists of 20 readings taken every 15 seconds. All readings will be averaged at the end of the
monitoring period. Two consecutive sustained monitoring periods will warrant corrective action.
Monitoring shall be conducted when material handling activities are being performed. Monitoring shall be
conducted as frequently as necessary during all initial activities to determine the effectiveness of

engineering controls and verify levels of protection. Once activities have been shown to produce consistent
air monitoring results, which do not exceed action levels, the frequency of the air monitoring may be
reduced at the discretion of the HSO.
All instruments utilized shall be response checked daily and calibrated as per manufacturer's
recommendations and in accordance with acceptable industrial hygiene protocol. In addition, the
instrument shall be calibrated in the same environmental conditions at which it will be used, or the
calibration will be corrected mathematically for differences in temperature, humidity and barometric
pressure, where appropriate. The monitoring instrumentation requires frequent charging and routine
cleaning to ensure that they function properly when needed. The HSO shall be responsible for training
personnel in the proper use and care of all monitoring instrumentation.
A calibration log shall be kept for each instrument. This log shall also contain detailed descriptions of any
problems encountered, along with records of factory calibrations and repairs.
6.3 Integrated Personal Sampling
In addition to real time air monitoring during remedial activities, a personal air monitoring program shall
provide for the determination of worker's airborne exposure levels to specific contaminants. Such a
determination will be made from laboratory analysis of air samples collected from representative workers
during an average work shift. The selection of the workers to be monitored for daily exposure shall be
done by the HSO based on their professional judgement of the characteristics of the jobs and the locations
in each work area and will be biased toward those workers determined to be highest at risk.
Initially, personal air monitoring will be performed on one (1) to two (2) representative employees for three
days over the first two (2) weeks of full-scale operations. These samples shall be screened for major
contaminants of concern listed in Table 6-2. Screening for these specific contaminants shall take place
during any new work phase. The continued sampling strategy shall depend on the results of the initial
monitoring. Follow-up worst case samples shall be performed at the discretion of the HSO. If levels above
the Action Level are detected, additional air sampling shall be performed. Air samples will be submitted to
an AIHA accredited Laboratory for analysis.
Personal air sampling results will be used to determine personnel exposure during remedial construction,
and will determine if the level of personal protection is adequate for work being performed.
Upgrades/down grades in levels of personal protective equipment are based on real-time direct reading
instruments and verified by integrated personal sampling. Initial levels shall be established based on prior
project experience with similar materials, calculated exposure values based on sample analysis, and real-
time readings during sample collection.
Calibrated personal air sampling pumps shall be used to draw air through appropriate sampling media in
order to collect representative integrated air samples. Air sampling pumps shall be calibrated before each
use in the field using a primary standard. If precision rotameters are used, they shall be calibrated to a
traceable primary standard in the laboratory, prior to use in the field.
For assessing employee exposures, sampling media shall be placed in the approximate breathing zone of
representative, potentially exposed employees. Employees to be monitored shall be selected based on a
worst case sampling strategy, such that those employees with the greatest potential for exposure shall be
monitored.

7.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
This section describes the general requirements of the EPA designated Levels of Protection (A-D), and the initial
levels of protection required for each task at the site. Note: Contractor must determine specific types of materials
for PPE, as per 1910.132 to 1910.138. Chemical resistance data shall be submitted to support all PPE selections.
7.1 Levels of Protection
Personnel protective equipment shall be used when operations involve known or suspected atmospheric
contamination; when vapors, gases, or particulate may be generated by site operations, or when direct
contact with skin-affecting substances may occur.
The specific levels of protection for operations and necessary components for each have been divided into
categories according to the degrees of protection afforded:
Level A: The highest level of skin and respiratory protection. Use of Level A is not anticipated on this
project.
Level B: Should be worn when the highest level of respiratory protection, but a lesser level of skin
protection is needed.
Level C: Should be worn when the criteria for using air-purifying respirators are met, and a lesser level of
skin protection is needed.
Level D: Level D provides minimal protection against chemical hazards. It is normally worn only as a
work uniform and not in any area with significant respiratory or skin contact hazards. Level D
Modified should be worn when respiratory protection is not warranted but dermal protection is
necessary. (See Section 6.2.3)
Modifications of these levels are permitted and routinely employed during operations to maximize
efficiency. For example, Level C respiratory protection and Level D skin protection may be required for a
given task. Likewise the type of chemical protective ensemble will depend upon contaminants,
concentration and extent of contact.
The Level of Protection selected is based upon the following:
Type and measured concentration of the chemical substance in the ambient atmosphere as well as
its toxicity.
Potential for exposure to substances in air, splashes of liquids, or other direct contact with material
due to the work activity.
Knowledge of chemicals on-site along with properties such as toxicity, route of exposure and
contaminant matrix.
Understanding of chemical, physical and biological hazards that may be encountered.
7.2 Level A Personal Protective Equipment:
• Supplied-air respirator approved by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and
National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Respirators may be positive
pressure-demand, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), or positive pressure-demand, airline
respirators (with escape bottle for Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) or potential
IDLH atmosphere).
• Fully encapsulating chemical-resistant suit
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants

• Coveralls or secondary protective suit (Tyvek or equivalent)
• Inner gloves (multi-chemical resistant), additional inner glove (leather), if necessary
• Boots, chemical-resistant, steel toe and shank (depending on suit construction, worn over or under
suit boot)
• Hard hat (under suit)
• Disposable gloves and boot covers (worn over fully encapsulating suit)
• 2-way radio communications (intrinsically safe)
7.3 Level B Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection -Positive pressure demand, full face-piece self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA), or positive pressure demand supplied-air respirator (SAR), with escape SCBA

8.0 DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
Decontamination procedures are necessary to protect field personnel and control the spread of
contamination by either personnel or equipment. Decontamination facilities shall be situated at the
entrance/exit to the CRZ. Personnel decontamination shall consist of a step-by-step procedure as described
below. The level of protection for decontamination of personnel will be one level lower then the personnel
exiting the EZ. Standard operating procedures for decontamination procedures include the following:
• Reusable suits will be cleaned with water and an approved solution with a long handled brush followed
by a water rinse.
• Over-boots will be washed, rinsed and then removed.
• Disposable coverall(s) will be removed and placed in a plastic trash bag. Bags shall be staged in a
secure location for future disposal.
• Disposable gloves will be removed and placed in a plastic trash bag. Bags shall be staged in a secure
location for future disposal.
• Respirators shall be washed in a respirator sanitizing solution, rinsed, and dried daily and/or following
use in accordance with respiratory protection procedures defined in Section I 0.0.
8.1 Equipment Decontamination Procedures
Heavy equipment and process equipment shall be decontaminated by pressure and/or steam cleaning with
treated water from the wastewater treatment plant or other defined potable water sources. The process
layout shall be designed to separate contaminated materials from non-contaminated materials to the extent
possible. Contaminated equipment utilized in the processing of waste streams shall be decontaminated prior
to exiting the EZ/CRZ.
8.2 Disposable PPE
Disposable PPE will be securely contained in plastic bags placed in a roll-off container (or equivalent) and
staged near the decontamination area to await disposal.
8.3 Decontamination During Medical Emergencies
If immediate life saving first aid or medical treatment is required, decontamination procedures shall be
omitted. Outer garments can be removed as long as it does not delay giving the proper care or aggravate
the condition. Grossly contaminated clothing should be removed carefully, because clothing can transfer
contaminants to people administering first aid. If the outer garments cannot be safely removed, the
individual will be wrapped in plastic, rubber, or blankets to help prevent the spread of contamination to
emergency personnel. On-Site personnel will accompany contaminated victims to the medical facility to
advise on matters involving decontamination.

10.0 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION PROCEDURES
The following subsections define standard operating procedures for air purifying respirators, self-contained
breathing apparatus, and supplied air respirators.
All types of respiratory protection shall be utilized according to the manufacturer recommendations. Respiratory
protection will be worn in all EZ and CRZ areas as required by the task. Any deviation from or non-adherence to
respirator requirements will result in removal from such area followed by disciplinary action.
IO.I Air-Purifying Respirators (APR)
Respiratory Protection -Full face APR, equipped with organic vapor, P-100 chemical cartridge, or
equivalent (NIOSH approved). NOTE: Half face respirators may be used, if it is determined that visual
acuity is of more concern than respiratory protection.
APRs in daily use shall be cleaned and disinfected at least daily. When respirators are used occasionally or
when they are in storage, the cleaning interval is weekly or monthly, as appropriate.
10.l.l Daily Cleaning Procedure
The steps to be followed for cleaning and disinfecting daily are as follows:
Respirator Disassembly -Respirators are taken to a clean location where the filters,
cartridges or canisters will be removed. For a thorough cleaning, inhalation and
exhalation valves, speaking diaphragm and any hoses should be removed.
Cleaning -In most instances, an appropriate cleaning and disinfecting solution is
dissolved in warm water in an appropriate tub. Using gloves, the respirator is placed in
the tub and swirled for a few moments. A soft brush may be used to facilitate cleaning.
Rinsing -The cleaned respirators are rinsed thoroughly in water to remove all traces of
detergent and disinfectant. This is very important for preventing dermatitis.
Disinfecting-The rinsed respirator should be placed in a IO to I water/bleach solution,
allow the respirator to be completely covered with the bleach solution, and remove
promptly.
Drying -The respirators may be allowed to air dry in clean area. They may be hung
upside down like drying clothes, but care must be taken not to damage or distort the face
pieces.
Re-assembly and Inspection -The clean, dry respirator face-piece should be re-assembled
and inspected in an area separate from the disassembly area to avoid cross-contamination.
Special emphasis should be given to inspecting the respirators for detergent or soap
residue left by inadequate rinsing. This problem appears most often under the seat of the
exhalation valve were it can cause the valves to leak or stick.
10.1.2 After Routine Use in Exclusion Zone
The steps for cleaning and disinfecting in the field are as follows:
• The mask should be washed/rinsed with a disinfecting solution, dried using paper towels
and placed in an appropriate storage container, such as a poly-lined plastic container.
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants

Final March 2000
Health & Safety Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
10.1.3 APR Inspection and Checkouts
1. Visually inspect the entire APR unit for any obvious damages, defects or deteriorated
rubber.
2. Make sure that the face-piece harness is not damaged. The serrated portion of the harness
can fragment which will prevent proper face seal adjustment.
3. Inspect lens for damage and proper seal in face-piece.
4. Exhalation Valve -check valve for debris or for tears in the neoprene valve (which could
cause leakage).
5. Inhalation Valves (two) -screw off cartridges/canisters and visually inspect neoprene
valves for tears or defonnation. Make sure that the inhalation valves and cartridge
receptacle gaskets are in place.
6. Make sure the speaking diaphragm retainer ring is hand tight.
7. Make sure that you have the correct cartridge.
8. Don respirator and perfonn negative/positive pressure test.
10.1.4 Storage of Air Purifying Respirators
OSHA requires that respirators be stored to protect against:
• Dust;
• Sunlight;
• Heat;
• Extreme cold;
• Excessive moisture;
• Damaging chemicals; and
• Mechanical damage.
Storage of respirators should be in a clean, secure area, which minimizes the chance for
contamination or unsanitary conditions.
10.2 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA's) and Supplied Air Respirators (SAR's)
Positive pressure demand, full face-piece self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), or pressure demand
supplied-air respirator (SAR), with escape SCBA (NIOSH approved) will be used when the highest level of
respiratory protection is needed, Level A or B.
SCBA face pieces will be cleaned and disinfected at least daily. When respirators are used only
occasionally or when they are in storage, the cleaning interval is weekly or monthly, as appropriate.
SCBA backpack/harness assembly should be kept in a clean, dry and secure area. The SCBA's
backpack/harness assembly must be decontaminated before leaving the CRZ.

15.0 HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM
The OSHA Hazard Communication Rule, for construction, 29 CFR 1926.59, requires that the preparation of a
written hazard communication program and training on its contents for all exposed employees. Although other
training exercises shall address the nature of various hazardous materials, the standard requires review of the
following items and they shall be addressed in the 40-hour training program:
• Specific requirements of the law and regulations.
• Nature of all hazardous substances in the work place (i.e. compressed gases, fuels, etc.)
• Protection from hazards.
• Access to information through Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and labels.
• Employee rights under the rule.
A MSDS is required for all hazardous materials brought onto Site pursuant to 29 CFR 1926.59. Any material that
falls under an exemption to 29 CFR 1926.59 shall not require an MSDS on this project Site. However, health and
safety information shall be provided for materials for which an MSDS is not required. MSDS(s) shall be kept by the
HSO and shall be available to all employees working on the Site. Appendix XII shall contains a partial list of
chemical profiles and MSDS(s) pertinent to this project. The Contractor shall provide a comprehensive package
with their HASP.
If any material presents special hazards or hazards which the Site workers have not been trained, the MSDS(s) for
these materials shall be reviewed at a safety meeting. All contractors and subcontractors shall be informed of this
requirement at the time they are engaged to work on this project. All containers must be labeled in accordance with
OSHA. No employee is to remove or deface any label on any container. If labels are inadvertently removed an
appropriate hazard warning and the identity of the contents shall be affixed to the container.
All employees will be trained on hazard recognition and label interpretation as well as understanding the contents of
MSDS(s) during the initial training provided to all employees, including subcontractors, who will be entering the
Site.
All MSDS(s) shall be transmitted via written correspondence to all site contractors. All contractors shall submit to
prime contractor copies ofMSDS(s) for materials used on-site.

1 PURPOSE
This program establishes the minimum requirements for the safe entry, continued work in and exit from
Confined Spaces in accordance with the OSHA Permit Required Confined Space Entry Standard 29 CFR
1910.146. This written plan will provide employees with a Confined Space Entry System to prevent
serious accidents which could result from entry into spaces deficient in oxygen, containing dangerous air
contaminants, or other hazardous conditions in those confined spaces.
2 SCOPE
This procedure will apply to ALL Ei\fPLOYEES working for the Contractor as well as all contractor
employees entering or monitoring a confined space.
A Confined Space is defined as any area which meets the following characteristics -
• can be entered by an individual to perform work, but is not intended for continuous
human occupancy;
• has limited means of entry and exit.
A Permit-Required Confined Space is defined as any Confined Space with any of the following
characteristics -
• could have unfavorable natural ventilation;
• has the potential to contain or produce a hazardous atmosphere ( e.g., oxygen deficiency
or chemical contaminants);
• contains materials with potential to engulf the entrant;
• has an internal configuration which could entrap or asphyxiate entrant; or
• contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard.
These areas may also possess any significant safety or health hazards, such as containing equipment or
materials which could engulf a worker or expose them to the uncontrolled release of a hazardous source
of energy. Examples of these areas include, but are not limited to, tanks, sewers, tunnels, Mobile leaf
vacuums, trenches, pump stations and manholes.
3 POLICY
No worker, contract employee or visitor to the site will enter a confined space unless a confined space
entry permit has been completed and signed by a qualified person, who will serve as the Entry
Supervisor. The permit will be signed by the workers authorized to enter the space ("Authorized
Entrants"), the person testing the atmosphere in the space and monitoring entrant safety (the
"Attendant"), and the Entry Supervisor. The permit is valid for only one shift or less, for specific work
tasks conducted in each confined space. A new permit will be issued for each subsequent shift, new
work task or confined space location. The completed permits will be retained by the Health and Safety
Officer (HSO) for a minimum of one year following the entry.
The use of appropriate environmental and chemical monitoring devices, such as oxygen monitors,
combustible gas meters, and toxic gas monitors are required prior to and during the entry.
EXAMPLE Confined Space Entry Progmn
Issued/Revised: 4/19/99

4 ENTRY PERl\flT SYSTEM
Toe Confined Space Entry Permit System will consist of two parts -
(1) A Confmed Space Entry Permit
(2) A Confmed Space Rescue Plan checklist
Both will be issued for each work period in which confined space activities are being performed. In no
case will a permit extend beyond a single work shift (i.e., eight hours).
4.1 CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMITS
A Confined Space Entry Permit consists of information necessary for the safe entry into a
confined space. This information will include identification of the space and its hazards,
identification of key personnel, necessary equipment for safe entry, and atmospheric monitoring
conditions.
Permits will be issued for entry into only one specific confined space. This will be posted at the
entrance to the confined space during entry or kept in the possession of the primary Attendant.
This permit will indicate the identity of the permitted space to be entered, the purpose of the
entry, the date and authorized duration of entry permit, name(s) of authorized entrants, attendants
and non-entry rescue personnel, tasks being performed, known or potential hazards, acceptable
entry conditions, special safety requirements, use of personal protective equipment or monitoring
devices, available rescue team and the signature of the Entry Supervisor.
At the conclusion of each confined space entry, permits will be closed out by the Entry
Supervisor and forwarded to the HSO for filing. Confmed Space Entry Permits will be kept on
file for at least one year following the entry. These permits will be periodically reviewed by the
Entry Supervisor to ensure that procedures outlined in this plan are adequate to control or
eliminate confined space hazards.
4.2 CONFINED SPACE RESCUE PLANS
Confined Space Rescue Plans will be attached and posted with Confmed Space Entry Permits at
the entry to the confined space. The Rescue Plan will consist of preplanned information used in
determining equipment and personnel needs in the event of an accident or injury in the confined
space. This plan will include listings of required rescue equipment, emergency telephone
numbers, emergency contacts and the means to contact them, as well as the procedures for a safe
rescue of personnel under likely emergency scenarios.
4.3 ISSUANCE OF PERMITS
Entry into a Confined Space will be authorized only by the Entry Supervisor, whose signature
must appear at the bottom of the permit. The Entry Supervisor will:
EXAMPLE Confined Space Entry Program
Luuedl'Rcviscd: 4119/99
2
a. complete the Entry Checklist and Atmospheric/Environmental Tests portions of the entry
permit;
b. verify that all atmospheric testing and ventilation has been completed
c. verify by checking that rescue personnel and all hazard warning devices and safety
equipments are available;
d. assure that an Attendant is stationed at the entrance to the confined space throughout the
work period.
4.4 SPECIAL PERMIT-EXEMPT ENTRIES
In limited special cases, such as diked areas surrounding tanks, a "confined space" may be
entered without a confined space permit if all the following conditions have been met:
a. There is no reason to believe that there could be escape of a flammable, toxic or
corrosive material into the area in sufficient quantity to create an IDLH atmosphere or
oxygen-deficiency;
b. Atmospheric hazards (if any), such as exposure to chemicals, can be controlled easily
through the use of additional ventilation, such as a forced air blower, and the blower is to
be used during this entry;
c. Toe confined space has been entered previously under similar circumstances, the
atmosphere monitored and documented, and no significant atmospheric hazards were
discovered; and,
d. No other significant physical hazards exist, such engulfment, entrapment, electrical or
slip/trip/fall hazards, which are unique to the confined space.
Upon verification of the above by the Entry Supervisor, the air will be initially tested for
chemical or oxygen-deficiency hazards. If acceptable, then workers will be allowed to work
without a permit or Attendant.
If any of the above conditions could potentially exist, then permitted entry is required.

5 KEY PERSONNEL RESPONSIBILITIES
5.1 ENTRY SUPERVISOR
The Entry Supervisor is a "competent person," as defined by OSHA, in charge of approving and
overseeing confmed space entries. An Entry Supervisor is an individual that is therefore capable
by virtue of education, experience and/or specialized training, of anticipating, recognizing and
evaluating employee exposure to hazardous substances or other unsafe conditions in a confined
space. This person also has the authority to specify the necessary control or protective measures
to ensure worker safety and take appropriate corrective measures. The Entry Supervisor will be
responsible for authorizing Confined Space Entry Permits.
Primary Entry supervisor: To Be Provided by Contractor
Other Approved Entry Supervisors: PLEASE LIST OTHER ACCEPTABLE SUPERVISORS
5.2 ENTRANTS
Prior to entering any confined space, each Entrant will be responsible for understanding the
following items -
• The potential hazards of the confmed space.
• The equipment required for each entry, including emergency equipment, and its proper
use.
• How to communicate with the Attendant and/or rescue personnel under normal, non-
routine and emergency circumstances.
• How to alert Attendant of problems or unusual conditions.
• What conditions will require their immediate removal from the confined space?
Examples include, but are not limited to, instructions by the Attendant to leave,
recognized warning signs, detection of prohibited conditions and notification of general
evacuation from the site.
5.3 ATTENDANT
An Attendant is an individual named on each Confmed Space Entry Permit who will monitor the
workers continually during permitted entries. The Attendant will:
a. Remain outside of the confined space at all times.
b. Maintain continuous communication by voice, visual observation, radio, telephone, or
other equally effective means with all authorized entrants. If it is not possible for one
Attendant to maintain communications with each entrant, then other arrangements will
be made to assure that the Attendant is continuously aware of the location and condition
EXAMPLE Confined Space Entry Program
Lssued/Rcvised: 4119/99
4
of any entrant who is out of range of direct communication. More than one Attendant
may be necessary when one individual is not capable of overseeing all Entrants.
c. Has the authority to order entrants to exit the confined space at the first indication of
non-permitted conditions.
d. Know the procedures and means to summon immediate emergency assistance.
e. Remain at his/her post and not leave for any reason except self-preservation, unless
replaced by an equally qualified individual while entry continues. The Attendant must
order the entrants to exit the confined space if the Attendant cannot be replaced with an
equally qualified person.
f. Warn unauthorized persons not to enter, or to exit immediately if they have entered, and
to advise authorized entrants and Entry Supervisor of entry by an unauthorized person(s).
5.4 RESCUE PERSONNEL
5.4.1 Non-Entry Rescue Personnel
A specific in-house confined space entry rescue team capable of performing rescues
inside confined spaces does !lQl exist at Contractors Site. However, at least two on-site
individuals who are not involved in the actual entry into a confined space will be
designated as Non-Entry Rescue Personnel to perform rescues which do not require entry
into the confined space. Non-Entry Rescue Personnel will be named on the Confined
Space Entry Permit and must verify by their signature that they understand and accept
their responsibilities. The Attendant may be named concurrently as a Non-Entry Rescue
Person.
Non-Entry Rescue Personnel will have immediate access to the necessary, non-entry
rescue equipment. such as communications devices (e.g., walkie-talkies) to summon
additional assistance, confined space retrieval equipment (e.g., tripods with lifelines
attached to Entrants), and first aid/CPR equipment. All Non-Entry Rescue Personnel
will be trained in accordance with section 6.5 below. Non-Entry Rescue Personnel will
be limited to rescues from outside the confined space(s) ONLY
5.4.2 External Rescue Teams
The Contractors non-entry rescue personnel will be supported by outside emergency
response groups, primarily the Warren Rural County Fire Department, who must be able
to respond to the confined space location within a 4 to 5-minute time frame. Additional
outside support agencies may be utilized, such as the local fire department, rescue squads
haz mat team, or other emergency response organizations. For confined space entries
performed routinely or repeatedly at a site, the Entry Supervisor will document in writing
that arrangements have been made for the support of the external team. In addition, the
names and telephone numbers of external rescue agencies will be listed on the Confined
Space Rescue Plan. The Entry Supervisor will ensure by checking prior to each day of
EXAMPLE Confined Space Entty Program
Issued/Revised: .Vl 9/99
5
confined space entry that the external support team has been notified of the entry, is
capable of performing a backup rescue, and is available throughout the period of the
entry. Toe external team will be given the opportunity to visit the confined space prior
to entry to ensure they are familiar with the site and verify they have the capability to
perform rescue.
EXAMPLE Confined Space .Enay Program
Issued/Revised: 4/19/99

6 TRAINING
All employees, contractors and visitors to enter a con.fined space will be trained accordingly. Written
records will be maintained for each training program which contains the signatures of attending
employees, subject matter and duration of training. Retraining in con.fined space entry will occur as soon
as the Entry Supervisor identifies any deficiencies in procedures being used or changes in confined
spaces.
6.1 ALL AFFECTED EMPLOYEES
All employees who may come in contact with (but not necessarily enter) confined spaces in the
course of their job shall be made aware of appropriate procedures and controls for entry. They
shall be informed that unauthorized entry into confined spaces is forbidden and may result in
disciplinary action. They shall also be informed that the consequences of unauthorized entry
may be fatal, and that their senses may not be sufficient to detect the severity of the
environmental hazard( s).
6.2 AUTHORIZED ENTRANTS
Individuals who may be authorized to enter a confined space will be given Confined Space Entry
Training. The content of this training will include:
a. Understanding the nature of hazard(s) in confined spaces
b. Proper use of Personal Protective Equipment
c. Proper use of Respiratory Protective Devices
d. Self-Rescue and exiting from a confined space
e. Symptoms of exposure and toxic effects of potential hazardous materials
f. Communication with the Attendant
g. Special or modification of normal work practices while in a confined space
h. Use and calibration procedures of testing equipment
1. The contents of this Confined Space Entry Program
j. Other job-specific training such as:
• competent person for excavation
• traffic safety
• lockout / tagout
In addition to the above, evacuation drills will be conducted periodically by the Entry Supervisor
to test the adequacy of training.
6.3 ATTENDANT
Attendants shall be trained at least to the level of an Authorized Entrant plus the following
competencies:
EXAMPLE Confined Space Entry Progr3111
IssuedlRmsed: 4119199
7
a. Proper use of communications equipment for communicating with authorized entrants or
summoning emergency or rescue personnel.
b. Procedures for summoning rescue personnel or other emergency services.
c. Recognition of early behavior signs of exposure to chemical contaminants or
asphyxiation that may be present in the confined space(s).
d. Attendant responsibilities indicated in section 5 .2 above.
e. Proper calibration and use of atmospheric monitoring equipment.
6.4 ENTRY SUPERVISOR
The Entry Supervisor shall be trained at least annually in the following
a. Authorized Entrant requirements in section 6.2.
b. Attendant requirements in section 6.3.
c. Proper procedures for completing a confined space entry permit.
6.5 RESCUE PERSONNEL
In addition to the training requirements for Authorized Entrants, as per section 6.2, all "Rescue
Team" personnel shall be trained in:
a. Use of available retrieval and rescue equipment.
b. Practice in removing simulated or real people through representative openings of the
same size, configuration and access as the confined space(s) from which the actual
rescue would be required.
c. At least one member of the rescue team shall hold a current certification in basic first aid
and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) from an accredited organization, such as the
American Red Cross.
Since outside emergency response organizations are to be called upon to perform rescue
operations, the Contractors Site will verify that these external rescue squads have received the
proper training in the types of confined spaces that will be encountered prior to the confined
space work.

6.6 TAILGATE SAFETY BRIEFING
Before each confined space entry, the Supervisor or his designee will discuss the job and review
safe procedures with all applicable workers. This discussion shall include a review of the job
tasks, confined space hazards, permit requirements, rescue plan and any special equipment which
may be needed.
EXAMPLE Canfined Space Entry Prognm

7 CONTRACTORS
Tue Contractor will inform all workers performing work in or around confined spaces of any reasonably
ascertainable potential fire, explosion, health or other safety hazards associated with that work. Tue
applicable specifics of this Confined Space Entry Program, emergency procedures and other relevant
safety procedures will also be made known to the contractor.
If Subcontractors are required to enter a confined space, they will be required to coordinate entry with
the Contractors HSO's personnel. (Subcontractors will generally be required to follow this Confined
Space Entry Program, including the use of the attached permits, rescue plan, and all appropriate
procedures, unless they can demonstrate that their program is equally effective). All subcontractor
employees must show documentation in writing they have been trained in accordance with the OSHA
Confined Space Entry Standard based on their assigned duties.
Contractors will be required to supply their own air monitoring instrumentation ( calibrated daily),
personal protective equipment and rescue equipment, unless other arrangements are made prior to site
activities. Tue Contractor's Supervisor or his designee will ensure that all equipment and procedures are
accounted for. Subcontractors will be prevented from confined space entry if all necessary precautions
are not in place.
Following confined space entry by subcontractors, the Contractors Supervisor, or his designee, will
debrief subcontractors on their activities to identify any special hazards or concerns. Copies of
subcontractor permits will be kept on file by the HSO.
EXAMPLE Confined Space Entry Program
ls&ued/Revised: 4119/99
8 MONITORINGANDEMERGENCYEQUIPMENT
The Health and Safety Officer will maintain a list of available environmental monitoring and emergency
equipment. This list is attached as Append.ix ill. All monitoring and emergency equipment will be
maintained in good working order.
At a minimum, oxygen and combustible vapors/gases will be measured prior to entering any confined
space, including permit-exempt spaces.
8.1 INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION
At a minimum, calibration, field tests and maintenance shall be performed in accordance with the
manufacturer's instruction manual. When potential IDLH conditions are possible during any
confined space entry, air monitoring instruments will be conducted daily before use. The results
of calibrations will be logged on the permit or field log. All atmospheric monitoring equipment,
including permanently mounted sensors, shall be recalibrated prior to use following any repairs
or periods of extended non-use.
Calibrations will be performed using standard calibration gases which are most representative
of the aonospheric condition or contaminant of concern. Methane will be used to calibrate
combustible gas meters where natural gas, swamp gas, sewage system manholes/sludge's or
trench excavations are present in the absence of other environmental contaminants. Pentane
calibration gas may also be used for natural gas or where petroleum hydrocarbons, such as
gasoline or fuel oil, are present. The appropriate adjustment factor for the contaminant of
concern relative to the calibration gas will be ascertained from the instrument's manufacturer
instructions prior to instrument use in the field.

9.2 MlNIMuM REQUIRED PROCEDURES FOR ALL PERMIT-REQUIRED
CONFINED SPACES
1. All specific identified locations or equipment classified as permit-required confined
spaces will be posted conspicuously at their entrance with signs equivalent to the
following, when feasible:
CONFINED SPACE
ENTER BY
PERMIT ONLY
2. Prior to entry, a Confined Space Entry Permit and Confined Space Rescue Plan will be
completed and approved by the Entry Supervisor.
3. All sources of hazardous energy supplying or entering the space must be isolated,
locked-out, tagged-out, or otherwise secured, in accordance with the Contractors 's
Lockout/Tagout Policy.
4. Where there is a hazard of moving or falling equipment near the confined space,
pedestrian and vehicle barriers will be put in place to protect entrants.
5. The atmosphere inside the space must be tested for oxygen content and combustible
gases before entry and continuously throughout entry. The oxygen level must be at or
above 19.5% oxygen and below 23%
• If the oxygen level is below 19.5 or above 23% NO ONE MAY ENTER THE
SPACE.
• Provide forced ventilation from a clean source to the space, whenever possible,
to bring the oxygen content to between 20% and 21 % .
EXAMPLE Coafined Space Enlry Progrmi
lmled/Revised: 41 I 9199
13
Combustible gases/vapors, measured as the percent ( % ) of the Lower Explosive Limit
(LEL), must be below 5% under normal circumstances.
• If the sustained level of combustible gas/vapor is between 5 and 10 % of the
LEL, work may continue with caution, however, the air must be monitored
continuously for combustible gases.
• If the combustible gas level exceeds 10% of the LEL, work will stop
immediately, and all workers will be removed from the confined space.
Investigate the source(s) of the combustible substance and eliminate. The level
of combustible gas must be brought below 10% of the LEL either by removing
the source(s) or by forced ventilation, before work may resume.
6. The atmosphere in the space must be tested for toxic or hazardous materials (e.g.,
organic vapors, acids, caustics or hazardous dusts), as deemed necessary for the
chemical hazards of the confined space, before entry and periodically throughout the
entry. The frequency of testing will be determined by the types of compounds, the
risks posed by the hazardous substances, and the types of work activities. The types
and frequency of repeat testing will be specified on the Confined Space Entry Permit.
At a minimum, the levels of Hydrogen Sulfide and Carbon Monoxide will be
monitored continuously to prevent exposure to levels above the OSHA Permissible
Exposure Limit-Time Weighted Average (PEL-TWA). No entry will be permitted in
atmospheres containing > 50 % of any chemical's respective PEL-TWA without
continuous monitoring and forced ventilation.
7. A ladder or stairs are required for all spaces deeper than the average workers'
shoulders (about 4'). The ladder will be the last item removed from the space on
completion of the work. Ladders will meet the appropriate requirements of the OSHA
Ladder Standard. Adequate lighting to be used in hazardous locations shall be
provided. In areas containing potentially flammable atmospheres, Class I, Division I,
Group C & D intrinsically safe lighting fixtures will be used as a minimum.
8. Mechanical rescue and retrieval equipment are required for all confined space entries
with vertical penetrations of 5 feet or greater. In addition, where workers may be
exposed to fall hazards of 6 feet or higher, personal fall arrest devices and/or other fall
protection systems will be used. Appropriate rescue, retrieval and fall arrest devices
may include, but are not limited to, rope or lanyards, full body safety harnesses, a
retrieval tripod, and mechanical winch system (with fall arrest system as necessary).
All employees will wear an approved safety harness with a lifeline attached when the
space is entered through a manhole, or similar narrow opening, unless the use of the
lifeline would create a greater hazard due to entanglement, etc. No one should attempt
a rescue unless adequate support assistance is on the scene.
9. A safety observer (Attendant), whose sole duty is to ensure a safe entry, will be at the
entrance in constant contact with the workers in the space. At no time will the
Attendant be allowed to enter the confined space or discontinue communications with
the entrants. If visual contact is not possible, then radio or intercom contact must be
available.

10. To the extent practical, those individuals designated as Rescue Personnel will be made
aware of the confined space entry and procedures established for their immediate
response.
11. Other Contractor employees working in the area will be notified of appropriate
precautions and procedures for working around confined spaces.
12. In the event that conditions are discovered that pose potential hazards, including
discovery of atmospheric testing results beyond entry guideline limits, all entrants will
be withdrawn from the space and the Entry Supervisor notified of these conditions. A
decision will be made to cancel the permit or continue operations when conditions
return to normal.
13. Hot work will not be performed inside of a Permit Required Confined Space. Only
hydraulic, or pneumatic type cutting tools will be utilized.
14. No entry will be made by employees into spaces where respiratory protection would be
required. Contractor employees will be utilized under such circumstances and
appropriate procedures will be employed.
15. Employee protective systems will be utilized, as deemed appropriate by the entry
supervisor, in all trench spaces.

9.3 REQUIRED PROCEDURES FOR ALL PERMIT-EXEMPT CONFINED SPACES
1. Toe atmosphere in the space must be tested for oxygen content before entry and
periodically throughout entry. The oxygen level must remain at normal levels
throughout entry (i.e., 20-21 %). If unfavorable oxygen levels are determined, entrants
will be withdrawn immediately, and forced ventilation from a clean source will be
provided to bring the oxygen content to between 20 % and 21 % .
2. Toe atmosphere in the space must be tested for combustible gases and vapors before
and periodically throughout entry. At no time may the concentration of combustible
vapors/ gases exceed 5 % of the LEL. In the event vapors/ gases exceed 5 % of the
LEL, workers will be removed immediately from the space and forced ventilation will
be provided to bring combustible levels to less than 5 %
3. Toe atmosphere in the space must be tested for toxic or hazardous materials (e.g.,
organic vapors, acids, caustics or hazardous dusts), as deemed necessary for the
chemical hazards of the confined space, before entry and periodically throughout the
entry. The frequency of testing will be determined by the types of compounds, the
risks posed by the hazardous substances, and the types of work activities. The
frequency of repeat testing will be specified on the Confined Space Entry Permit.
Workers will be removed and forced ventilation applied if vapor/dust
concentrations exceed 50 % of. their applicable PELs.

APPENDIX II -SIGNS & SYMPTOMS OF CO:MMON ATMOSPHERIC HAZARDS
0xygen Deficiency -
The normal concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere is about 21 % (20.9% to be exact). The process of
breathing, rusting of metal, welding, combustion, and chemical reaction/decomposition, can reduce the amount
of oxygen available to support life. Gases, such as carbon dioxide (from breathing or decomposition), nitrogen,
and argon, can displace oxygen. OSHA considers 19 .5% oxygen to be the concentration which is Immediately
Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH). No worker may enter or work in a space below the IDLH level without
an SCBA or air-line respirator with an escape bottle.
The effects from oxygen deficiency often resemble other symptoms -
• 14-16% -feeling tired, weak, lightheaded, heavy breathing, ringing in the ears
• 10-12% -disorientation, severe tiredness, difficulty breathing, some loss of consciousness
• 6-10% -loss of consciousness, cardiac and respiratory arrest, death within a few minutes
Combustible Gas and Vapor -
Gases and vapors may bum when the surrounding temperature is at or above their Flash Point, and the
concentration of the gas/vapor is between their Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and Upper Explosive Limit
(UEL). LEL and UEL are commonly measured in percent of the vapor/gas in air. LEL values are typically in
the 1 % range for most materials. 1 % = 10,000 ppm. Levels of flammable or combustibles more than 10% of
'.1e LEL is considered to be IDLH.
Hydrogen Sulfide -
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gas usually associated with the decomposition of organic matter, such as plants or
sewage. It has a rotten egg odor at low concentrations. However, within about 20 minutes, hydrogen sulfide
causes a process in the human body, called "olfactory fatigue,n whereby the sense of smell to hydrogen sulfide is
lost, even when present at high levels. This prevents warning that hydrogen sulfide is present. Since hydrogen
sulfide has poor warning properties, cartridge respirators may not be used, except for short-term "escape"
purposes.
At high concentrations, 10-20 ppm, hydrogen sulfide can cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat. It may
also cause headache, fatigue, irritability, insomnia and upset stomach. At very high levels (50 ppm or above),
hydrogen sulfide can cause severe eye tissue damage, pulmonary edema and central nervous system damage.
Hydrogen sulfide is also flammable at very high levels, well over the IDLH level.
OSHA PEL = 10 ppm
EXAMPLE Confined Space Entry Prognm
lssucdlkvised: 4119199
IDLH = 100 ppm
Carbon Monoxide -
....,arbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless and colorless gas, commonly formed as a byproduct of combustion. It
causes asphyxiation because the hemoglobin in the blood prefers to take in CO rather than oxygen, when both
are present Symptoms of exposure include tiredness, headache, disorientation and a cherry red color to the
skin. Because CO has inadequate warning properties, only an SCBA or airline respirator with an escape bottle
may be used in its presence.
OSHA PEL = 50 ppm

Example Drug and Alcohol Policy
DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY
A. GENERAL POLICY
The Contractor is committed to maintaining a work environment free from illegal drug
use and alcohol use. To that end the Contractor has adopted this illegal drug use and alcohol
abuse policy ("Drug and Alcohol Policy").
Compliance with the Contractor's Drug and Alcohol Policy is a condition of your
employment. Employees of the Contractor are expected and required to report to work on time
and in an appropriate mental and physical condition for work. Any employee who violates the
Contractor's Drug and Alcohol Policy will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including
termination from employment. In addition, the Contractor from time to time may publish
additional rules relating to this Drug and Alcohol Policy to govern conduct at a particular client's
job site; employees at such site will be required to comply with both the Contractor's Drug and
Alcohol Policy and such additional rules.
Certain terms used in this Drug and Alcohol Policy are defined in Appendix A, attached.
B. PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES
The Contractor strictly prohibits its employees from engaging in the following activities:
(1) the unauthorized use, possession, manufacture, distribution, dispensation, or sale of illegal
drugs, drug paraphernalia, controlled substances, or alcohol on the Contractor's premises, in a
Contractor-supplied vehicle, at a client's job site, or elsewhere if an employee is engaged in
Contractor business; (2) any activity that compromises the integrity or accuracy of the
Contractor's illegal drug and alcohol testing program; (3) any failure or refusal to abide by the
Contractor's Drug and Alcohol Policy or, where applicable, additional rules relating to the
Contractor's Drug and Alcohol Policy governing conduct at a particular job site; and (4) any
conviction under a criminal drug statute for violations occurring in the work place, during
working hours, or when an employee of the Contractor is engaged in Contractor business. Any
employee who is convicted under any criminal drug statute for violations occurring in the work
place, during working house, or while an employee of the Contractor is engaged in Contractor
business must provide written notice of such conviction to the Contractor's Human Resources
Department no later than five (5) working days after such conviction.
Any violations of the Contractor's Drug and Alcohol Policy and such additional rules as
may be applicable to employees at a particular client's job site may result in disciplinary action,
up to and including termination from employment, and may have other legal consequences.
1
The Contractor further prohibits any employee from reporting for work while under the
influence of illegal drugs or alcohol and from entering onto the Contractor's premises or any
other location (including, but not limited to, a client's job site) where an employee is
representing the Contractor. An employee discovered to be under the influence of illegal drugs
or alcohol while at work or during working hours will be declared unfit for work by his
supervisor, relieved from his or her duties, will be sent home, and will be subject to disciplinary
action, up to and including termination from employment.
C. TESTING
The Contractor may require its employees and applicants for employment who have been
extended an offer to be tested for illegal drugs or alcohol under the following circumstances: (1)
as a condition of hiring; (2) when the Contractor has reason to believe that the employee's work
performance or on-the-job behavior may have been affected in any way by illegal drug use or
alcohol abuse; (3) at the time each employee is required to undergo a physical examination as
part of the Contractor's Corporate Health Monitoring Program (such physical examinations to
occur at least once a year); ( 4) where required as a condition of a contract at a facility of a client
of the Contractor; and (5) when the Contractor determines that an employee may have caused or
contributed to an accident involving a fatality, serious bodily injury, or substantial damage to
property.
Drug testing of employees assigned to a job site will be performed on an unannounced
random basis throughout the duration of the contract governing work at that site. In addition,
employees returning from an illegal drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation program will also be
tested on an unannounced random basis from time to time.
Each employee of the Contractor assigned to a job site must sign the attached consent
form acknowledging that the employee understands that he or she is subject to illegal drug and/or
alcohol testing as set forth herein. A copy of this form is attached to this policy as Appendix B.
Any employee who refuses to be tested as provided for herein may be removed from or denied
entrance to the job site. Any positive test result stemming from illegal drug use or alcohol abuse
may be a violation of the Contractor's Drug and Alcohol Policy and/or these rules pertaining to
the job site.
The Contractor will take steps to ensure the confidentiality of drug and alcohol testing
results in order to protect the privacy of tested persons. For the purpose of establishing eligibility
to enter a client's property, such drug testing results which are positive will not be disclosed to
the Contractor's client.
Any employee who has met the eligibility requirements for entry to a job site shall be
subject to illegal drug use and/or alcohol abuse testing in various situations including, but not
limited to, being involved in an accident or near-miss accident, engaging in conduct indicative of
illegal drug use or alcohol abuse, or through random testing. The results of such tests on the
Contractor's employees working at the job site may be disclosed to the Contractor's client.
2
Supervisors of the Contractor are trained to identify job performance and on-the-job
behavior that may indicate illegal drug use or alcohol abuse. When a supervisor concludes that
declining job performance or erratic on-the-job behavior may be the product of illegal drug use
and/or alcohol abuse, the supervisor will refer the employee for a breath, saliva, urine, blood test
or other appropriate test for illegal drug use or alcohol abuse.
Any test for illegal drug use or alcohol abuse will be conducted using reasonable
procedural safeguards and with concern for the privacy interests of each employee.
D. SEARCHES
Where there is an indication that an employee's performance or on-the-job behavior may
have been affected in any way by illegal drug use or alcohol abuse, the Contractor reserves the
right to search:
1. The employee;
2. A locker, desk, or other property of the Contractor or a client of the Contractor
which is under the employee's control;
3. An employee's personal effects located on the Contractor's premises or on the job
site of a client of the Contractor; and
4. Any automobile used or owned by an employee which is located on the
Contractor's premises or on the job site of a client of the Contractor.
E. PREVENTION AND TREATMENT
The Contractor recognizes that illegal drug use and/or alcohol abuse is a major health
problem and constitutes a potential safety and security problem. To educate employees and their
families about the dangers of illegal drug and alcohol abuse, the Contractor has developed a
Drug-Free Awareness Program.
To assist employees in overcoming illegal drug use and alcohol abuse, the Contractor
may offer the following rehabilitative help:
l . Medical benefits for substance and alcohol abuse treatment; and
2. Information about community resources for assessment and treatment.

Emergency Response Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
1.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
This Site Emergency Response Plan has been developed for the detoxification of the
Warren County Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) Landfill in Warren County, North
Carolina. The project will be performed under the direction of the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Waste
Management. A Citizens Advisory Board (CAB) has been established to work with
NCDENR.
This Emergency Response Plan has been prepared to set forth the minimum requirements
the successful Contractor must include in the required Emergency Response Plan. Proper
emergency planning and response are important elements of the safety and health
program that help minimize employee exposure and injury. The standard, 29 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) 1910.140, requires that the Contractor develop and implement
a written emergency response plan to handle possible emergencies before performing
hazardous waste operations. The emergency response plan must include:
• Personnel roles, lines of authority, and communication procedures;
• Pre-emergency planning;
• Emergency recognition and prevention;
• Emergency medical and first-aid treatment;
• Methods or procedures for alerting on-site employees;
• Safe distances and places of refuge;
• Site security and control;
• Decontamination procedures;
• Critique of response and follow-up;
• Personal protective and emergency equipment; and
• Evacuation routes and procedures.
All project personnel shall be required to read the Emergency Response Plan, receive a
detailed orientation by the Health and Safety Officer (HSO), and to sign the
acknowledgement form to document their understanding and willingness to comply with
the contents. The HSO will keep the acknowledgment forms on file at the site.
A copy of the Emergency Response Plan will be maintained at the Contractor's
Corporate Office and at the Site. The plan will be available and accessible to all
employees.
The Emergency Response Plan will be coordinated with local authorities disaster and
emergency management plans as appropriate. In addition, a meeting or other
communication with the local hospital, rescue squad, hazardous materials unit, and fire
department shall also occur to advise the emergency rescue representatives of the nature
and type of contaminants victims may have been exposed to while on site. Directions to
the hospital will be posted on site, and a copy will be placed in all vehicles when the site-

specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) is in effect. Emergency procedures will be
posted and, as appropriate, be included in the daily safety briefings.
1.1 Site History/Description
The Warren County PCB Landfill (Site) is located in Warren County, North Carolina,
and approximately 50 miles north of Raleigh, North Carolina. A location map is
attached. The Site is situated within a tract of land owned by the State of North Carolina
that covers 19.317 acres. The Site includes a 2.54-acre landfill cell (PCB Landfill) that
contains soils with elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and
dioxins/furans. Approximately half of the remaining State property immediately adjacent
to the PCB Landfill is cleared of vegetation. The remaining State property is undisturbed
with moderately dense population of trees approximately 30 feet in height. A gravel road
approximately 3,000 feet long provides access to the Site from State Route 1604.
The PCB Landfill is approximately 250 feet wide (measured in an east to west direction)
and 500 feet long. Approximately 40,000 cubic yards of soils were deposited into the
PCB Landfill from the remediation of roadways throughout the State that were illegally
sprayed with PCB oils to avoid proper disposal of the oils under Toxic Substance Control
Act (TSCA). Approximately ten percent of the soils originated from the Fort Bragg
Military Reservation near Southern Pines, North Carolina (NC) and are assumed to be of
a similar nature to the balance of the contaminated soils. The PCB concentrations in the
soil ranged from 259 parts per million (ppm) to a high of 853 ppm, with an average
concentration of 500 ppm. Dioxin/furans concentrations ranged from 147 parts per
trillion (ppt) [toxicity equivalent concentrations (TEQ)] to 238 ppt, with an average
concentration of 200 ppt TEQ. This data has been reported in the Phase I Base Catalyzed
Decomposition (BCD) study.
The maximum depth of the PCB Landfill at the center is approximately 36 feet, which
includes the lower liner and existing cover. The depth at the perimeter is approximately
20 feet. The existing ground surface of the cleared area begins at the same elevation as
the perimeter of the PCB Landfill. In addition to the PCB contaminated soils, a relatively
small quantity of cement kiln dust (less than 5-percent of the total volume) occupies the
northeast comer of the PCB Landfill. Approximately one-half of the PCB Landfill rises
above the existing ground surface. The PCB Landfill was completed in 1983.
During evaluation of the potential detoxification technologies, the primary objective was
to utilize a process that actually destroyed PCBs and dioxin/furans in a non-incineration
manner. The BCD process utilizes chemical destruction to achieve this objective. The
BCD process is a chemical reaction that destroys PCBs and dioxins/furans by removing
the chlorine atom from the chlorinated compound and replacing it with hydrogen, thus
rendering the molecule to a non hazardous compound. The process is conducted in both
the solid and liquid phase.

2.0 PRE-EMERGENCY PLANNING
Prior to engaging in construction/remediation activities at the site, the prime contractor
will plan for possible emergency situations and have available adequate supplies and
manpower to respond. A suggested list of emergency response supplies is provided in
Section 5.5 ofthis plan.
Site personnel will receive trammg during the site orientation concerning proper
emergency response procedures. In addition, specific individuals representing all shifts
and work areas at the site will be assigned to the Emergency Response Team. The HSO
will be designated as the Emergency Coordinator. Due to the hours of site operations
(24hours/day, 7 days/week), alternate on-site emergency coordinators will be assigned to
cover the shifts that the HSO/Emergency Coordinator is not on site. The alternate on-site
emergency coordinators will be members of the Emergency Response Team. All
personnel on the Emergency Response Team will receive special training to include, but
not be limited to:
• First Aid,
• Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR),
• Blood Borne Pathogens, and
• Basic emergency response training.
Representatives of the community including, but not limited to, Warrenton Rural County
Fire Department, Warren County Emergency Management Services (EMS) and Warren
County Emergency Management Agency (HAZMAT Response personnel) will be
invited to the site specific emergency response training.
The HSO/Emergency Coordinator will establish a line of communications with additional
personnel, including but not limited to:
• Maria Parham Hospital, and alternate hospitals providing specialty services, if
necessary,
• Government agencies, e.g., TSCA Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics,
NCDENR Division of Waste Management, and other emergency response
organizations prior to operations.
During site briefings held annually, all employees shall be trained in, and reminded of
the provisions in this emergency response plan, communication systems, and evacuation
routes. This plan shall be reviewed and revised semiannually by the HSO, or whenever a
change in operations or procedures that would affect this Plan. Any changes to the
Emergency Response Plan will at a minimum necessitate revised training to the
Emergency Response Team. Refresher training on this Emergency Response Plan will
be conducted at a minimum annually.

The following situations would warrant implementation of the Emergency Response and
Contingency Plan (ERCP):
Fire/Explosion
Spill or Release of
Hazardous Materials
Natural Disaster
Medical Emergency
• The potential for human injury exists
• Toxic fumes or vapors are released
• The fire could spread on site or off site and possibly
ignite other flammable materials or cause heat-induced
explosions
• The use of water and/or chemical fire suppressants could
result in contaminated run-off
• An imminent danger of explosion exists
• The spill could result in the release of flammable liquids
or vapors, thus causing a fire or gas explosion hazard
• The spill could cause the release of toxic liquids or fumes
in sufficient quantities or in a manner that is hazardous to
or could endanger human health
• A rain storm exceeds the flash flood level
• The facility is in a projected tornado path or a tornado
has damaged facility property
• Severe wind gusts are forecasted or have occurred and
have caused damage to the facility
• Overexposure to hazardous materials
• Trauma injunes (broken bones, severe
lacerations/bleeding, bums)
• Eye/skin contact with hazardous materials
• Loss of consciousness
• Heat stress (Heat stroke)
• Cold stress (Hypothermia)
• Heart attack
• Respiratory failure
• Allergic reaction
The following measures will be taken to assure the availability of adequate equipment
and manpower resources:
• Sufficient equipment and materials will be kept on site and dedicated for emergencies
only. The inventory will be replenished after each use.
• On-site emergency responders will be current in regards to training and medical
surveillance programs. Copies of all applicable certificates will be kept on file for on-
site personnel required to respond.
• It will be the responsibility of the on-site emergency coordinator to brief the on-site
response team on anticipated hazards at the site. The on-site emergency coordinator

6
Final / March 2000
Emergency Response Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
shall also be responsible for anticipating and requesting equipment that will be
needed for response activities.
• Emergency response activities will be coordinated with the Warren County
Emergency Management Agency (EMA) in compliance with SARA Title III
requirements.
Communications will be established prior to commencement of any act1v1t1es at the
remediation site. Communication on-site will be conducted through the use of two-way
radios. At a minimum, the Site Manager (SM), HSO, NCDENR representative, security
guard, and one individual from each area of operations will have a two-way radio. This
allows for all personnel on site to be accessible to all pertinent information and allow
them the ability to conduct their activities in a safe and healthful manner. The site will be
equipped with a centralized emergency siren that can be heard across the entire site. The
siren will be used in the unlikely event of a site wide evacuation. Air horns may also be
used to alert personnel of emergency conditions. A telephone will be located at the
command post to summon assistance in an emergency.
Primary communication with local responders in the event of an emergency will be
accomplished using commercial telephone lines.
2.1 Emergency Recognition and Prevention
Because unrecognized hazards may result in emergency incidents, it will be the
responsibility of the SM and HSO to designate personnel to perform:
• daily (visual/informal)and weekly (formal) site inspections,
• conduct daily safety meetings, and
• job safety analyses prior to conducting any new activities.
To recognize and identify all hazards that are found at the site it will be the responsibility
of the designated personnel to develop daily and weekly inspection forms for their
specific work areas these may include:
Chemical Hazards • Materials at the site
• Materials brought to the site
• Fire/explosion
Physical Hazards • Slip/trip/fall
• Electrocution
• Confined space
• IDLH atmospheres

• Poisonous Plants/ Animals
Once a hazard has been recognized, the SM and/or the HSO will take immediate action to
prevent the hazard from becoming an emergency. This may be accomplished by the
following:
• Daily safety meeting
• Task-specific training prior to commencement of activity
• Lock-out/Tag-out
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) selection/use
• Written and approved permits for hot work, confined space

3.0 PERSONNEL ROLES AND LINES OF AUTHORITY AND
COMMUNICATION
The SM, HSO, and/or the on-site emergency coordinator, have primary responsibility for
responding to and correcting emergency situations. This includes taking appropriate
measures to ensure the safety of site personnel and the public. Possible actions may
involve discontinuing site activities and evacuating personnel from the site. Additionally,
the SM, HSO and/or on-site emergency coordinator will be responsible for ensuring that
corrective measures have been implemented, appropriate authorities notified, and follow-
up reports completed.
The SM, HSO and/or on-site emergency coordinator will implement the Emergency
Response Plan immediately as required. The decision to implement the plan will depend
upon whether the actual incident threatens human health or the environment. Immediately
after being notified of an emergency incident, the on-site emergency coordinator will
evaluate the situation to determine the appropriate action. Table 3.1 provides a list of
agencies and telephone numbers in case of an emergency.
In the event of an actual emergency or near-accident-miss, a formal investigation and
critique of the incident will be conducted by the Project Manager (PM), SM, HSO,
NCDENR representative, personnel directly involved with the event and the response
team personnel. The investigation will include a detail evaluation of the cause of the
incident, a critique of the emergency response procedures implemented, and corrective
actions to be taken. A formal report summarizing the event including a lessons learned
summary will be presented to the site crew at the daily safety meetings.
3.1 Responsibilities and Duties
It is recognized that the structure of the "Incident Command System" will change as
additional response organizations are added. The prime contractor's on-site emergency
coordinator will follow procedures as directed by the Warrenton Rural County Fire
Department, Warren County EMS , Warren County Hazmat Response, state and federal
agencies as required. The prime contractor's on-site emergency coordinator will defer to
the Warrenton Rural County Fire Department chief to assume the role of Incident
Commander upon arriving on site. Additional on-site personnel may be added to the Site
Emergency Response Team as required to respond effectively.
3.2 On-Site Emergency Coordinator Duties
The on-site emergency coordinator is responsible for implementing and directing the
emergency procedures. All emergency personnel and their communications will be
coordinated through the on-site emergency coordinator. Specific duties are as follows:
• Identify the source and character of the incident, type and quantity of any release.
Assess possible hazards to human health or the environment that may result directly

from the problem or its control.
• Discontinue operations in the vicinity of the incident if necessary to ensure that fires,
explosions, or spills do not recur or spread to other parts of the site. While operations
are dormant, monitor for leaks, pressure build-up, gas generation, or ruptures in
valves, pipes, or other equipment, where appropriate.
• Notify local Emergency Response Teams if their help is necessary to control the
incident. Table 3.1 provides telephone numbers for emergency assistance.
• Direct on-site personnel to control the incident until, if necessary, outside help
arnves.
• Ensure that the building or area where the incident occurred and the surrounding area
are evacuated and shut off possible ignition sources, if appropriate. The Emergency
Response Team is responsible for directing site personnel such that they avoid the
area of the incident and leave emergency control procedures unobstructed.
• If fire or explosion is involved, notify Warrenton Rural County Fire Department. (call
911)
• Notify NCDENR Project Manager
• Notify Project Manager
• Have protected personnel, in appropriate PPE, on standby for rescue.
If the incident may threaten human health or the environment outside of the site, the
emergency coordinator should immediately determine whether evacuation of the area
outside of the site may be necessary and, if so, notify the Sheriffs Department and the
County HAZMA T Response. (Both can be contacted by dialing 911)
When required, notify the National Response Center. The following information should
be provided to the National Response Center:

Emergency Response Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
4.0 EVACUATION ROUTES AND PROCEDURES
All emergencies require prompt and deliberate action. In the event of an emergency, it
will be necessary to follow an established set of procedures. Such established procedure
will be followed as closely as possible. However, in specific emergency situations, the
on-site emergency coordinator may deviate from the procedures to provide a more
effective plan for bringing the situation under control. The on-site emergency coordinator
and/or their designee are responsible for determining which situations require site
evacuation.
4.1 Safe Distances and Places of Refuge
No single recommendation can be made for evacuation or safe distances because of the
wide variety of emergencies, which could occur. Safe distances can only be determined at
the time of an emergency based on a combination of site and incident-specific criteria.
However, the following measures are established to serve as general guidelines.
In the event of minor hazardous materials releases (small spills of low toxicity), workers
in the affected area will report initially to the contamination reduction zone. Small spills
or leaks (generally less than 55 gallons) may require initial evacuation. The evacuation
limits will be determined based upon real time air monitoring, preformed by the HSO or
qualified designatee. After initial assessment of the extent of the release and potential
hazards, the on-scene emergency coordinator will determine the specific boundaries for
evacuation. Appropriate steps such as caution tape, rope, traffic cones, barricades, or
personal monitors will be used to secure the boundaries.
In the event of a major hazardous material release (large spill of high toxicity/greater than
55 gallons), workers will be evacuated from the building/area or if situation warrants the
site. Workers will assemble at their respective crew trailer, entrance to the site (security
gate), or alternate upwind location for a head count by their foreman and to await further
instruction. The specific location will be predicated by the potential threat to the health
and safety of the workers.
If an incident may threaten the health or safety of the surrounding community, the on-site
emergency coordinator will contact the proper agencies informing them of the
Contractor's recommendation to evacuate the public. The proper agencies will instruct
the public regarding the need to evacuate the area and where to congregate. Telephone
numbers are listed in Table 3.1.
Places of refuge will be established prior to the commencement of activities. These areas
must be identified for the following incidents:
• Chemical release
• Fire/explosion
• Power loss
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
13
Final I March 2000
Emergency Response Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
• Medical emergency
• Hazardous weather
In general, evacuation will be made to the crew trailers, unless the on-site emergency
coordinator determines otherwise. It is the responsibility of the on-site emergency
coordinator to determine when it is necessary to evacuate personnel to an off-site
location.
In the event of an emergency evacuation, all the employees will gather at the entrance to
the site (security gate) or alternate upwind location until a head count establishes that all
are present and accounted for. No one is to leave the site without notifying the on-site
emergency coordinator.
4.2 Evacuation Signals and Routes
Initial communication will be conducted via two-way radios. Should an evacuation of
the site be necessary, a siren suitable of being heard and/or blinking light suitable of
being seen will be used to notify employees of the necessity to evacuate the site. The on-
site emergency coordinator will monitor the site for emergencies. Only the on-site
emergency coordinator will initiate total site evacuation, however, in his absence, a
decision to preserve the health and safety of employees will take precedence. Evacuation
routes will be posted in each outside work area. Signs will also be posted inside of
trailer/buildings at exit doors and walls that are easily accessible. At a minimum, semi-
annual drills will be conducted to familiarize each employee with the proper routes and
procedures.
4.3 Evacuation Procedures
In the event evacuation is necessary, the following actions will be taken:
• The emergency signal will be activated.
• The security guard at the front gate will be notified and no further entry of
visitors, contractors, or trucks will be permitted. Vehicle traffic within the site
will cease in order to allow safe exiting of personnel and movement of emergency
equipment.
• Shut off machinery if safe to do so.
• All on-site personnel, visitors, and contractors in the support zone will assemble
at the entrance to the site (Security Gate) for a head count and await further
instruction from the on-site emergency coordinator.
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
14
Final / March 2000
Emergency Response Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
• Their immediate supervisor ( e.g. plant operator, treatment operator) will account
for all persons in the exclusion zone. The supervisor will determine the safest
employee exits employees and will also choose an alternate exit if the first choice
is inaccessible.
• During exiting, the supervisor should try to keep the group together. Immediately
upon exiting, the supervisor will account for all employees in his crew.
• Upon completion of the head count, the supervisor will provide the information to
the on-site emergency coordinator.
• Contract personnel and visitors will also be accounted for.
• The names of emergency response team members involved will be reported to the
on-site emergency coordinator.
• The on-site emergency coordinator or his designee will make a final tally of
personnel. No attempt will be made to find personnel not accounted for if it will
involve endangering the lives of contract employees, subcontract employees, or
other employees by re-entry into the emergency area.
• In all questions of accountability, immediate crew leaders will be held responsible
for those persons reporting to them. Visitors will be the responsibility of those
employees they are seeing. Contractors and truck drivers are the responsibility of
the site manager or designee. The security guard will aid in accounting for
visitors, contractors, and truckers by reference to sign-in sheets available from the
security gate.
• Personnel will be assigned by the on-site emergency coordinator to be available at
the main security gate to direct and brief emergency responders.
• Re-entry into the site will be made only after the on-site emergency coordinator
gives clearance. At his direction, a signal or other notification will be given for re-
entry into the facility.
• Semi-annual drills, at a minimum, will be conducted to practice all of these
procedures and will be treated with the same seriousness as an actual emergency.

5.0 EMERGENCY SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT
In the event of an emergency involving a hazardous material spill or release, the
following general procedures will be used for rapid and safe response and control of the
situation. Emergency contacts found in Table 3.1 provide a quick reference guide to
follow in the event of a major spill.
5.1 Notification Procedures
If an employee discovers a chemical spill or process upset resulting in a vapor or material
release, he or she will immediately notify the on-site emergency coordinator. The on-site
emergency coordinator will obtain information pertaining to the following:
• The material spilled or released
• Location of the release or spillage of hazardous material
• An estimate of quantity released and the rate at which it is being released
• The direction in which the spill, vapor or smoke release is heading
• Any injuries involved
• Fire and/or explosion or possibility of these events
• The area and materials involved and the intensity of the fire or explosion
The information will help the on-site emergency coordinator to assess the magnitude and
potential seriousness of the spill or release.
5.2 Procedure for Containing/Collecting Spills
The initial response to any spill or discharge will be to protect human health and safety,
and then the environment.
If for some reason a chemical spill is not contained within a dike or sump area, an area of
isolation will be established around the spill. The size of the area will generally depend
on the size of the spill and the materials involved. If the spill is large (greater than 55
gallons) and involves a tank or a pipeline rupture, an initial isolation up wind of the spill
area will occur. The HSO or designee using real-time direct air monitoring equipment
will determine the appropriate evacuation distance and personnel protective equipment
requirements. Small spills (less than or equal to 55 gallons) or leaks from a tank or pipe
will require be handled similarly as to large spills. An initial evacuation upwind of the
spill will occur, and the evacuation area will be predicated upon direct air reading
instrumentations. When any spill occurs, only those persons involved in overseeing or
performing emergency operations will be allowed within the designated hazard area. If
possible the area will be roped or otherwise blocked off.
If the spill results in the formation of a toxic vapor cloud (by reaction with surrounding
materials or by outbreak of fire) and its release ( due to high vapor pressures under
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants
16
Final/ March 2000
Emergency Response Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
ambient conditions), further evacuation will be enforced. In general an area at least 500
ft. wide and 1,000 ft. long will be evacuated downwind if volatile materials are spilled.
(Consult the DOT Emergency Response Guide for isolation distanced for listed
hazardous materials.)
If an incident may threaten the health or safety of the surrounding community, the public
will be informed and possibly evacuated from the area. The on-site emergency
coordinator will inform the County HAZMA T Response Agency and any other
applicable agencies in the event this is necessary (Refer to Table 3 .1)
As called for in regulations developed under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation Liability Act of 1980 (Superfund), the prime contractor's
practice shall be to report a spill of a pound or more of any hazardous material for which
a reportable quantity has not been established and which is listed under the Solid Waste
Disposal Act, Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, or TSCA. The prime contractor will also
follow the same practice for any substances not listed in the Acts noted above but which
can be classified as a hazardous waste under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA).
Clean up personnel will take the follo wing measures:
• Make sure all unnecessary persons are removed from the hazard area.
• Put on protective clothing and equipment.
• If a flammable material is involved, remove all ignition sources, and use spark
and explosion proof equipment for recovery of material.
• Remove all surrounding materials that could be especially reactive with materials
in the waste. Determine the major components in the waste at the time of the spill.
• If wastes reach a storm sewer, try to dam the outfall by using sand, earth,
sandbags, etc. If this is done, pump this material out into a temporary holding tank
or drums as soon as possible.
• Place all small quantities of recovered liquid wastes (55 gallons or less) and
contaminated soil into drums for treatment on site, incineration or removal to an
approved disposal site.
• Apply appropriate spill control media (e.g. clay, sand, lime, etc.) to absorb
discharged liquids.
• For large spills, establish diking around leading edge of spill using booms, sand,
clay or other appropriated material. If possible, use diaphragm pump( s) to transfer
discharged liquid to drums or a holding tank.

Emergency Response Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
5.3 Emergency Response Equipment
The following equipment will be staged in the support zone and throughout the site, as
needed, to provide for safety and first aid during emergency responses. Emergency
eyewash equipment must meet ANSI Standards:
• ABC-type fire extinguisher
• First-aid kit, industrial size
• Eyewash/safety shower
• Emergency signal horn
In addition to the equipment listed above, the prime contractor will use appropriate direct
reading instrumentation(s) in emergency situations to assess the degree of environmental
hazard. The HSO or other specially trained personnel will only use this equipment. This
equipment will be stored, charged and ready for immediate use in evaluating hazardous
chemical concentrations. The equipment will be located at the prime contractors office
trailer and/or health and safety trailer.
EQUIPMENT NAME APPLICATION
Portable H-NU Photoionization Meter and/or Measures selected . . and morgaruc
Flame-ionization Meter (FID) organic chemical concentrations
MSA Oxygen and Combustible Gas Meter Measures oxygen and combustible
gas levels
Direct Reading Colormetric Indicator Tubes, i.e. Measure hydrogen cyanide
Hydrogen Cyanide concentration in air
Real Time Aerosol Monitor Measures dust emissions
Hydrogen Sulfide Meter Measures hydrogen sulfide
concentrations in air
5.4 Personal Protective Equipment
A supply of two (minimum) self contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs) will be located
in a designated area on site for use in emergency response to hazardous materials
releases. They will be inspected at least monthly, according to OSHA requirements. In
addition, all emergency response personnel will have respirators available for use with
cartridge selection determined by the HSO based on the results of direct reading
instruments. Emergency response personnel will also be provided with protective
clothing as warranted by the nature of the hazardous material and as directed by the HSO.
Respirators can only be worn when the levels of contamination are known. The two
primary contaminants of concern for the site are PCBs and dioxin/furans, which can not
be measured by, direct instrument readings. A calculation (See Health and Safety Plan)
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants

Final / March 2000
Emergency Response Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
was performed to determine the highest possible airborne concentrations of PCBs and
dioxin/furans based upon the known highest level of concentrations of these
contaminants in the landfill materials. The calculation determined that the permissible
exposure limits for PCBs and dioxin/furans would not be exceeded before the dust
emission permissible exposure limit was exceeded. Therefore, for airborne PCBs and
dioxin/furans resulting from dusting operations, the real-time aerosol dust monitors can
be used to protect employees from exposure.
5.5 Emergency Spill Response Clean-Up Materials and Equipment
The contractor will specify and provide a sufficient supply of appropriate emergency
response clean-up materials and personal protective equipment for the project. The
quantities and types of materials and equipment will be appropriately matched to
correspond to the activities being conducted on-site. The contractor will inventory and
inspect visually, the emergency response materials and equipment on a weekly basis.
The materials listed below may be kept on site for spill control, depending on the types of
hazardous materials present on site. The majority of this material will be located in the
decon trailer and/or storage area for health and safety supplies.
The following equipment will be kept on site and dedicated for spill cleanup:
• All-purpose spill kit -to solidify/absorb liquid spills.
• Plastic shovels for recovering corrosive and flammable materials.
• Sausage-shaped absorbent booms for diking liquid spills, drains, or sewers.
• Sorbent sheets (diapers) for absorbing liquid spills.
• 5 5 gallon drums for containment.
• Overpack drums for secondary containment.
• Flammable/corrosive stickers/labels.
* NOTE: All contaminated soils, absorbent materials, solvents and other materials
resulting form the clean-up of spilled or discharged substances shall be properly
stored, labeled, and either processed on-site or disposed of off-site.

6.0 MEDICAL EMERGENCY CONTINGENCY MEASURES
The procedures listed below will be used to respond to medical emergencies. The HSO
will contact the Warren County EMS and/or Maria Parham Hospital (local hospital) and
inform them of the site hazards and potential emergency situations. A minimum of two
First-Aid/CPR trained personnel will be maintained on site.
6.1 Response
The nearest workers will immediately assist a person who shows signs of medical distress
or who is involved in an accident. The work supervisor will be summoned.
The work supervisor will immediately make contact with the on-site emergency
coordinator to alert him of a medical emergency situation. The supervisor will advise the
following information:
• Location of the victim at the work site,
• Nature of the emergency,
• Whether the victim is conscious, and
• Specific conditions contributing to the emergency, if known.
The on-site emergency coordinator will notify the HSO. The following action will then
be taken depending on the severity of the incident:
• Life-Threatening Incident -If an apparent life-threatening condition exists, the
supervisor will inform the on-site emergency coordinator by two-way radio and
contact the Warren County Emergency Response Services (EMS) by phone
immediately. An on-site person will be appointed who will meet the EMS at the
security gate and have him/her quickly taken to the victim. Qualified personnel will
evacuate an injured person within the EZ to a clean area for treatment by EMS
personnel.
• Non Life-Threatening Incident -If it is determined that no threat to life is present, the
HSO will direct the injured person through the decontamination procedures (see
below) appropriate to the nature of the illness or accident. Appropriate first aid or
medical attention will then be administered.
* NOTE:The area surrounding an accident site must not be disturbed until the HSO/
onsite emergency coordinator has given clearance.
Any personnel requiring emergency medical attention will be evacuated from exclusion
and contamination reduction zones if doing so would not endanger the life of the injured
person or otherwise aggravates the injury. Personnel will not enter the area to attempt a
rescue if their own lives would be threatened. The decision whether or not to

Final / March 2000
Emergency Response Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
decontaminate a victim prior to evacuation is based on the type and severity of the illness
or injury and the nature of the contaminant. For some emergency victims, immediate
decontamination may be an essential part of life-saving first aid. For others,
decontamination may aggravate the injury or delay life-saving first aid. Decontamination
will be performed if it does not interfere with essential treatment.
If decontamination can be performed, observe the following procedures:
• Wash external clothing and cut it away.
If decontamination cannot be performed, observe the following procedures:
• Wrap the victim in blankets or plastic to reduce contamination of other personnel.
• Alert emergency and off-site medical personnel to potential contamination;
instruct them about specific decontamination procedures.
• Send site personnel familiar with the incident and chemical safety information,
e.g. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), with the effected person.
All injuries, no matter how small, will be reported to the HSO or the SM. An
accident/injury/illness report will be completely and properly filled out and submitted to
the Corporate Health and Safety Officer (CSHO)/Project Certified Industrial Hygienist
(CIH), in accordance with the Contractor's and NCDENR's reporting procedures.
A list of emergency telephone numbers is given in Table 3.1.

7.0 FIRE CONTINGENCY MEASURES
Generally the prime contractor's personnel and subcontractors are not trained
professional firefighters. Therefore, if there is any doubt that a fire cannot be quickly
contained and extinguished, personnel will notify the on-site emergency coordinator by
two-way radio and vacate the structure or area. The on-site emergency coordinator will
immediately notify the Warrenton Rural County Fire Department.
The following procedures will be used to prevent the possibility of fires and resulting
m J ur1 es:
• Sources of ignition will be kept away from where flammable materials are handled or
stored.
• The air will be monitored for explosivity before and during hot work and periodically
where flammable materials are present. Hot work permits will be required for all such
work.
• "No smoking" signs will be conspicuously posted in areas where flammable materials
are present.
• Fire extinguishers will be placed in all areas where flammable materials are present.
• Before workers begin new operations or operations in new area the HSO will give
instruction on egress procedures and assembly points. Egress routes will be posted in
work areas and exit points clearly marked.
7.1 Response
The following procedures will be used in the event of a fire:
• Anyone who sees a fire will notify his or her supervisor who will then contact the
on-site emergency coordinator by radio. The on-site emergency coordinator will
activate the emergency response procedures and contact the Warrenton Rural
County Fire Department.
• Should a site wide evacuation be necessary, the emergency siren will sound,
workers will turn-off equipment in use (if possible) and proceed to the designated
meeting location (security gate) or alternate upwind location.

9.0 SPILL/RELEASE CONTINGENCY MEASURES
In the event of release or spill of hazardous material the following measures will be
taken.
9.1 Response and Notification
Any person observing a spill or release will act to remove and/or protect
injured/contaminated persons from any life-threatening situation. First aid and/or
decontamination procedures will be implemented as appropriate.
First aid will be administered to injured/contaminated personnel. Unsuspecting
persons/vehicles will be warned of the hazard. All personnel will act to prevent any
unsuspecting persons from coming in contact with spilled materials by alerting other
nearby persons. Without taking unnecessary risks, personnel will attempt to stop the spill
at the source. This may involve activities such as up-righting a drum, closing a valve or
temporarily sealing a hole with a plug.
Utilizing two-way radios to communicate, the on-site emergency coordinator will be
notified of the spill/release, including information on material spilled quantity, personnel
injuries and immediate life threatening hazards. The on-site emergency coordinator and
HSO will determine the potential impact on the surrounding community and implement
air monitoring. Notification procedures will be followed to inform on-site personnel and
off-site agencies. The on-site emergency coordinator will make a rapid assessment of the
spill/release and direct confinement, containment and control measures. Depending upon
the nature of the spill, measures may include:
• Construction of a temporary containment berm utilizing on-site clay absorbent
earth,
• Digging a sump, installing a polyethylene liner,
• Diverting the spill material into the sump placing drums under the leak to collect
the spilling material before it flows over the ground.
• Transferring the material from its original container to another container.
The on-site emergency coordinator will notify the NCDENR Representative of the spill
and steps taken to institute clean up. Emergency response personnel will clean up all
spills following the spill clean-up plan developed by the on-site emergency coordinator.
Supplies necessary to clean up a spill will be immediately available on-site. Such items
may include, but are not limited to:
• Shovel, rake
• Absorbent
• All Purpose Spill Kit
• Personal safety equipment
ETG Environmental, Inc / BF A Environmental Consultants

Final / March 2000
Emergency Response Plan Warren County PCB Landfill
• Steel drums
• Pumps and miscellaneous hand tools
The major supply of material and equipment will be located in the Support Zone. Smaller
supplies will be kept at active work locations. The on-site emergency coordinator will
inspect the spill site to determine that the spill has been cleaned up to the satisfaction of
the NCDENR. If necessary, soil, water or air samples may be taken and analyzed to
demonstrate the effectiveness of the spill clean-up effort. The on-site emergency
coordinator will determine the cause of the spill and determine remedial steps to ensure
that recurrence is prevented. The on-site emergency coordinator will review the cause
with the NCDENR and obtain his concurrence with the remedial action plan.
