ER-0912 Cooperative Technology Demonstration: Polymer-
Enhanced Subsurface Delivery and Distribution of
Permanganate
July 2009

1.0 Objectives of the Demonstration
This project will validate the use of a water-soluble polymer with permanganate for in situ
chemical oxidation(ISCO) of organic contaminants with the dual primary objectives of(1)
improving the sweep efficiency of permanganate through heterogeneous media containing lower
permeability media, and(2) controlling manganese dioxide (Mn02)particles to improve oxidant
delivery and flow, thereby enhancing contaminant destruction. A secondary project objective is
to compare post-delivery/treatment groundwater quality for"permanganate only" and
"permanganate+polymer"test areas.
2.0 Technology Description
ISCO using permanganate is an established remediation technology being applied at hazardous
waste sites throughout the United States and abroad. Field applications of ISCO continue to
grow and have demonstrated that ISCO can achieve destruction of contaminants and achieve
clean-up goals. However, some field-scale applications have had uncertain or poor in situ
treatment performance. Poor performance is often attributed to poor uniformity of oxidant
delivery caused by zones of low permeability media(LPM) and site heterogeneity and excessive
oxidant consumption by natural subsurface materials. A second permanganate ISCO challenge is
the management of Mn02 particles,which are a byproduct of the reaction of permanganate with
organic contaminants and naturally-reduced subsurface materials. These particles have the
potential to deposit in the well and subsurface and impact flow in and around the well screen,
filter pack, and the surrounding subsurface formation. This is a particular challenge for sites
with excessive oxidant consumption due to the presence of natural materials or large masses of
non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPLs). This proposed project focuses on(1) diminishing the
detrimental effects of site heterogeneities with respect to the uniformity of oxidant delivery, and
(2) managing Mn02 aggregation and deposition. We propose the use of water-soluble polymers
to improve the delivery and distribution of permanganate oxidant solutions within heterogeneous
contaminated aquifers.
3.0 Site Selection Criteria
Table 1 includes the criteria used for site selection, along with corresponding site data, where
available.
4.0 Performance Objectives
Table 2 includes project performance objectives, along with data requirements and criteria for
success. While Table 2 lists individual, specific success criteria, this demonstration relies on an
integrated interpretation of results to determine success. For example, it is quite feasible to
achieve the criteria of success listed under the third performance criteria, "increased penetration
of oxidant into lower permeability layers/strata,"without achieving elimination of rebound. Any
failures to achieve success will be assessed to determine if it is attributable to a delivery
limitation this project seeks to overcome vs. other factors that may cause failure such as a basic
ISCO or permanganate-specific limitation.

4.1 Performance Objective: Elimination of Contaminant Rebound
Contaminant rebound at a site is often attributable to poor distribution of treatment amendments.
Poor distribution is a function of site heterogeneity, depletion of amendment as it moves through
the subsurface, or impacts from reaction byproducts that may be generated/formed; or both the
physical and chemical processes occurring. With respect to permanganate ISCO, flow bypass of
the oxidant can result from physical heterogeneities causing flow bypass around areas of lower
permeability media where contaminant may be entrapped, or it can also result from flow around
areas where Mn02 solids reaction byproduct deposit, typically around areas of high contaminant
3

saturation or in media that exerts an extensive natural demand for oxidant(i.e., highly reduced).
By diminishing the impact of site heterogeneities with polymers, it is feasible to diminish or
eliminate associated contaminant rebound.
4.1.1 Data Requirements
Rebound will be evaluated through examination of contaminant concentrations in groundwater
over distance measured at the site pre-, during- and post-treatment with permanganate.
Groundwater samples will be collected from a monitoring network with radial distance from
oxidant delivery and at several depths.
Post-treatment monitoring data will be compared to pre- and during-treatment data for both the
test(oxidant+polymer) and control (oxidant only)plots to determine if the addition of polymer
impacted rebound.
4.1.2 Success Criteria
The objective will be considered to be met if one of the following occurs: (1) there are
measurable contaminant concentrations in groundwater in the oxidant-only control plot, but no
contaminant concentrations in groundwater in the oxidant+polymer test plot; or(2)there is a
statistically significant difference between concentrations measured in the oxidant-only control
vs. oxidant+polymer test plots AND the measured concentrations in the test plot can be
attributed to factors other than rebound(i.e., migration of contaminant from upgradient). The
criteria will not be considered met if both the test and control plots show either(1) no
statistically significant difference in post-treatment concentrations, or(2)no measurable
contaminant concentrations in either plot. While the latter of these two does not point to an
unsuccessful demonstration, it would not be possible to point success to polymer application,
therefore other performance criteria would be relied upon to evaluate demonstration success.
4.2 Performance Objective: Improved Contaminant Treatment Effectiveness
While rebound elimination, as per the objective described above in Section 4.1, is the "gold
standards"pointing to a successful technology demonstration, complete elimination of rebound
may not be achievable as a function of site conditions. The next level of success, therefore,
would be dictated by increased contaminant treatment effectiveness.
4.2.1 Data Requirements
Treatment effectiveness will be evaluated through examination of both groundwater and soil core
contaminant concentrations measured with distance from injection pre-, during-, and post-
treatment with permanganate. Groundwater samples will be collected from a monitoring
network with radial distance from oxidant delivery and at several depths. Continuous soil core
samples will be collected from points adjacent to and corresponding with groundwater samples.
4

Post-treatment data will be compared to pre- and during-treatment data for both the test(oxidant
+polymer) and control (oxidant only)plots to determine if the addition of polymer impacted
treatment effectiveness.
4.2.2 Success Criteria
The objective will be considered to be met if there is a statistically significant lower total mass of
contaminant is measured in soil and groundwater in the polymer+oxidant test plot vs. the
oxidant-only control plot. The criteria will not be considered met if both the test and control
plots show either(1) no statistically significant difference in post-treatment concentrations, or(2)
no measurable contaminant concentrations in either plot. While the latter of these two does not
point to an unsuccessful demonstration, it would not be possible to point success to polymer
application, therefore other performance criteria would be relied upon to evaluate demonstration
success.
4.3 Performance Objective: Increased Penetration of Permanganate into Lower
Permeability Layers/Strata
One means by which polymers are anticipated to improve permanganate delivery is to control
fluid mobility and normalize the advance of injected fluids within media of varying permeability
via modification of fluid viscosity. This impact, because of permanganate's purple coloring, is
expected to be both observable upon inspection of soil cores and potentially measurable in
groundwater if it is feasible to position multi-level monitoring well points within strata of
varying permeability.. At the bulk scale, this normalization of flow is expected to translate to an
overall enhanced sweep efficiency(increased percentage of pore volume contacted by oxidant
solution) of the treatment area.
4.3.1 Data Requirements
Oxidant penetration and sweep efficiency will be evaluated through examination of both
groundwater samples and soil cores. If monitoring wells can be screened over discrete intervals
of media permeability (feasibility unknown until site characterization activities are complete),
then permanganate concentrations in groundwater will be examined with distance and time,with
particular attention to concentrations measured in the target lower permeability strata. It is
anticipated that oxidant concentrations will be greater in the lower permeability strata in the
oxidant+polymer test plot vs. the oxidant-only control plot during both short-term and longer-
term monitoring timeframes. Groundwater monitoring data will also be used to assess oxidant
sweep efficiency. Permanganate concentration data from all available soil and groundwater
samples collected will be used to prepare vertical concentration distribution profiles for sweep-
efficiency analysis. Vertical sweep-efficiency will then be determined as the integrated profile
area contacted by permanganate divided by the total area of the profile generated. Sweep-
efficiencies calculated for the no-polymer case and the polymer amended cases will be compared
to determine permanganate sweep-efficiency improvement. A real-time monitoring program for
specific conductivity and oxidation reduction potential (ORP)will be implemented using
downhole sensors and data loggers within the permeable and LPM materials to observe
permanganate distribution. This data will be used to optimize the delivery timeframe. A
5

membrane interface probe—electrical conductivity(MIP-EC) survey will be conducted after
delivery is complete to ascertain permanganate distribution based on EC response. After
distribution is confirmed, then groundwater samples will be collected from a monitoring network
with radial distance from oxidant delivery and at several depths. Continuous soil core samples
will also be collected from points adjacent to and corresponding with groundwater samples.
Post-treatment data will be compared to pre- and during-treatment data for both the test(oxidant
+polymer) and control (oxidant only)plots to determine if the addition of polymer impacted
oxidant penetration and sweep efficiency.
4.3.2 Success Criteria
The objective will be considered to be met if all of the criteria listed below that can be measured
are met. It is important to consider that these factors are qualitative indicators (i.e., surrogates)
of success and are actually measures of delivery and reaction longevity.
• Oxidant permeates lower permeability media strata/layers 50% greater in the oxidant+
polymer test plot vs. the oxidant-only control plot in a statistically relevant portion of
samples/layers collected/observed.
• Oxidant concentrations are 25% greater in a statistically relevant portion of groundwater
samples for the oxidant+polymer test plot vs. the oxidant-only control plot(again, this
criterion may not be relevant if media cannot be discretely screened).
• Observable improvement in oxidant penetration into lower permeability strata/layers for
the oxidant+polymer case vs. the no-polymer case.
• Observable sweep-efficiency improvement for the oxidant+polymer test plot vs. the
oxidant-only control plot as defined in Section 4.3.1.
4.4 Performance Objective: Decreased Flow Bypassing of Areas of High Contaminant
Mass
Another means by which polymers are anticipated to improve permanganate delivery is to
mitigate the effects Mn02 (permanganate oxidation byproduct) can have on permanganate
distribution. Negative impacts are due to deposition of Mn02, filling soil pores and causing flow
bypass. These effects can be mitigated by the addition of polymer that will impact particle-
particle and particle-soil surface interactions, inhibiting their deposition. The effect is most
pronounced in areas of high contaminant saturation, simply because of the excess Mn02 that can
be generated within these areas. The impact of polymer, because of permanganate's purple
coloring and Mn02's dark brown coloring, along with Mn02's contribution to solids
concentrations in groundwater, is expected to be observable upon inspection of soil cores and
measurable in groundwater.
4.4.1 Data Requirements
Oxidant penetration and sweep efficiency will be evaluated through examination of both
groundwater samples and soil cores. Soil cores will be visually inspected for the dark brown
Mn02 signature,particularly in areas of high contaminant saturation. Cores will also be
quantitatively extracted for Mn02. Contaminant will also be extracted from the core to assess
6

impact on mass treated. Additionally, Mn02 will be measured in groundwater samples both in
terms of total solids/suspended solids evidence and more directly via spectrophotometric
measurement. Continuous soil core samples will be collected from points adjacent to and
corresponding with groundwater samples.
Post-treatment data will be compared to pre-treatment data for both the test (oxidant+polymer)
and control (oxidant only)plots to determine if the addition of polymer impacted Mn02
deposition.
4.4.2 Success Criteria
The objective will be considered to be met if all of the following criteria are met:
• Soil cores have 50% lower mass of Mn02 per mass of media in the oxidant+polymer
test plot vs. the oxidant-only control plot in a statistically relevant portion of samples.
• Mn02 concentrations in groundwater are 25% greater(i.e., more mobile) in the oxidant+
polymer test plot vs. the oxidant-only control plot in a statistically relevant portion of
samples.
• Contaminant mass, where initially present at relatively high saturation, is 50% lower in
the oxidant+polymer test plot vs. the oxidant-only control plot in a statistically relevant
portion of samples.
4.5 Performance Objective: Decrease Impact of Mn02 Deposition on Injection
Pressures
During subsurface treatment with permanganate, Mn02 deposits can potentially impact the
injectivity of the solution as a result of a reduction in media permeability(i.e., a reduction in
effective pore diameters due to Mn02 deposition). The degree to which this occurs is dependent
on soil surface chemical properties and the intrinsic permeability of the media. This process can
result in an increase in injection pressures needed to maintain design injection flow rates. The
proposed polymer for Mn02 deposition control is hexametaphosphate (HMP)which does not
increase solution viscosities as would the proposed heterogeneity control polymer xanthan gum.
If Mn02 deposition at our test site is sufficient to demonstrate an increase in injection pressures
for the control plot(no-polymer case), the addition of HMP is expected to mitigate this pressure
increase within the test plot(oxidant+HMP case). In both cases pressures at the injection wells
and subsurface pressures at distance from the injection wells will be monitored to assess the
potential for permeability reduction and the potential for HMP to mitigate permeability
reduction. The utility of these measurements will be determined following the proposed site
characterization activities.
4.5.1 Data Requirements
Field subsurface and injection pressures will be monitored before, during, and after treatment
within the control plot (oxidant-only) and test plots (oxidant+polymer). These results will be
compared to assess the potential for HMP to mitigate reduction in media permeability due to
Mn02 deposition effects as described.
7

4.5.2 Success Criteria
The objective will be considered to be met if site conditions are favorable in that there is a
discernable difference in injection pressures due to Mn02 deposition during treatment between
the control plot and the test plot.
4.6 Performance Objective: Improved understanding of impacts of the enhanced
delivery approach on groundwater quality
Because the use of polymers with oxidant has not been evaluated in the field, it would be
generally beneficial to improve the understanding of potential effects of polymer addition on
groundwater quality.
4.6.1 Data Requirements
With both distance and time, the following indicators will be evaluated in soil and/or
groundwater: pH, ORP, key metals, solids concentrations, conductivity, and bioactivity.
4.6.2 Success Criteria
The objective will be considered met upon completion of all sampling rounds and data analysis.
5.0 Site Selection
The preferred site for the technology demonstration is Site 88 at Marine Corps Base, Camp
Lejeune, Jacksonville,North Carolina. As shown on Table 1, it completely fulfills the technical
criteria for this cooperative demonstration and can be performed synergistically with the existing
site activities using incumbent CH2M HILL staff. Approval to proceed was received from the
Site 88 Remedial Project Manager(see Attachment 1). The existing Site 88 environmental
remediation plan is to conduct site characterization activities in late summer 2009 and execute
ISCO and enhanced reductive dechlorination pilot tests in mid-2010. The ESTCP project
activities will be able to be performed side-by-side with the on-going work and use staff that is
already familiar with base security and procedures (e.g., utility clearance, waste disposal, etc.).
This demonstration will be performed outside of the source zone at the site that was previously
treated using in situ soil mixing of clay and zero valent iron. Significant tetrachloroethene (PCE)
concentrations remain in groundwater outside of the soil mixed zone as indicated in Table 1.
After detailed data review and additional site characterization, a demonstration plot will be
selected within the zones of persistent contamination (preferably side-gradient of the soil mixed
zone) and with adequate silt overburden to avoid day-lighting during injection. Results of
groundwater and injection modeling will be used to best site the demonstration location.
Conditions/impediments for using Site 88 are to minimize impacts to existing active facilities
and to work closely with the existing Site 88 contractor(i.e., CH2M HILL). In order to best
facilitate this, this ESTCP project will integrate the existing CH2M HILL Project Manager onto
8

the ESTCP project team. Activities will be best coordinated and executed in this manner to
maintain consistency and compliance with all base-specific requirements.
The anticipated schedule for implementation is consistent with the proposed schedule of
milestones originally delivered to ESTCP. Characterization activities will be conducted in late-
summer to fall 2009 and the cooperative technology demonstration is expected to occur after the
Demonstration Plan and Treatability Study Data Report are complete, anticipated to be mid-
2010.

PROJECT INFORMATION AND BACKGROUND
PROJECT NO: 389787.AA.PP
CLIENT: Clarkson University
PROJECT/SITE NAME: Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTOP)
Cooperative Technology Demonstration: Enhanced Subsurface Delivery and Distribution of
Permanganate.
SITE ADDRESS: Site 88,MCB CamLej
CH2M HILL PROJECT MANAGER: Monica Fulkerson
CH2M HILL OFFICE: CLT
DATE HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN PREPARED: February 18,2010
DATE(S) OF SITE WORK: May through September 2010
SITE BACKGROUND AND SETTING: MCB CamLej is located in Onslow County,North Carolina and
covers approximately 236 square miles and includes 14 miles of coastline. The Base is bounded to the southeast by
the Atlantic Ocean and to the northeast by State Route 24. The town of Jacksonville,North Carolina is located
north of the Base.
Site 88 is located at the Base dry cleaners (former Building 25)within a densely populated area of MCB CamLej.
Barracks, office buildings, and other occupied structures are located adjacent to Building 25. The USTs were
installed in the 1940s and were used to store varsol, an early dry cleaning chemical. Tetrachloroethene replaced
varsol in the 1970s and was stored in an AST. In the mid-1980s,the AST was taken out of service. The USTs
were removed between November 1995 and January 1996.
A Focused RI was completed in 1998 that identified the limits of soil and groundwater contamination at the site,
and a Supplemental SI(SSI)was completed in 2002. In general, contaminated soil appears to be concentrated
beneath the building and the parking lot to the northwest near Building 25. Groundwater contamination extends to
a depth 50 feet below ground surface and extends approximately 700 feet to the northwest. Isolated areas of free
phase dense non-aqueous phase liquid(DNAPL)exist beneath Building 25 and areas immediately north of the
building.
A partial free phase liquid recovery has been completed in addition to a pre-surfactant remediation characterization
and delineation study to address the DNAPL situation at Site 88. These studies have established the nature and
extent of residual phase of DNAPL. Surfactant enhanced aquifer remediation(SEAR)was conducted to remove
the residual phase DNAPL and some free phase DNAPL. This pilot program was completed in August 1999. Post
SEAR monitoring was completed in Fiscal Year 2001.
In Fiscal Year 2001, several other interim remedial actions were also initiated. The Air Force started operations of
the Reductive Anaerobic Bioremediation In-Situ Treatment Technology(RABITT)pilot scale test within the
dissolved portion of the plume near monitoring wells 88-MW05 and 88-MW051 W. This pilot test was scheduled
to be completed in Fiscal Year 2002. In addition,the RAC started aggressive fluid vapor recovery(AVFR)
activities at Site 88 by pumping free phase product monthly from six existing extraction wells.
CH2m Hill HSP

Site 88 was added to the long-term monitoring program in April 1999. Semi-annual monitoring was discontinued
in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2001. Baseline sampling was performed in July 2002 and results were reported
in the SSI report.
Activities supporting the 2008 RI were conducted from July 2002 to August 2007. Field activities included: DPT
groundwater sampling,membrane interface probe (MIP) groundwater profiling,installation of 68 permanent
monitoring wells, sampling all site groundwater monitoring wells and aquifer testing. Elevated chlorinated VOCs
were detected in shallow, intermediate and deep wells. DNAPL was delineated using MIP and DPT groundwater
sampling in an area emanating from the rear of Building 25 to the northwest.
In 2005 the DNAPL area was treated under a Non-Time-Critical Removal Action(NTCRA)using shallow soil
mixing with clay zero-valent iron(clay-ZVI)addition. The treatment area has since been paved and converted into
a parking lot. However,the residual contamination in the area outside the soil mixing area still exceeds regulatory
standards.
In general,the chlorinated VOC plume at Site 88 extends from the former location of Building 25 to approximately
1600 ft west of the site. The plume also extends approximately 800 ft from north to south,near the source area.
This plume appears to be migrating west,primarily within the intermediate zone and,to a lesser extent, in the deep
zone,which also has a flow component to the northeast.

2.0 Hazard Controls
This section provides safe work practices and control measures used to reduce or eliminate potential
hazards. These practices and controls are to be implemented by the party in control of either the site or
the particular hazard. CH2M HILL employees and subcontractors must remain aware of the hazards
affecting them regardless of who is responsible for controlling the hazards. CH2M HILL employees and
subcontractors who do not understand any of these provisions should contact the RHSM for
clarification.
The health and safety hazards posed by field activities have been identified for each project activity and
are provided in the Hazard Analysis Table (Table 1). Hazard control measures for project-specific and
general H&S hazards are provided in Sections 2.1,2.2, and 2.3.
In addition to the controls specified in this section,Project-Activity Self-Assessment Checklists are
contained in Attachment 4. These checklists are to be used to assess the adequacy of CH2M HILL and
subcontractor site-specific safety requirements. The objective of the self-assessment process is to
identify gaps in project safety performance and prompt corrective actions in addressing these gaps.
Self-assessment checklists should be completed early in the project,when tasks or conditions change, or
when otherwise specified by the RHSM. The self-assessment checklists,including documented
corrective actions,should be made part of the permanent project records.
Applicable project activity self-assessment checklists (see Attachment 4) shall be completed weekly by a
CH2M HILL representative during the course of the project depending on the work performed at the
time.
2.1 Project-Specific Hazards
2.1.1 Compressed Gas Cylinders
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-403,Hazardous Materials Handling)
• Valve caps must be in place when cylinders are transported,moved, or stored.
• Cylinder valves must be closed when cylinders are not being used and when cylinders are being
moved.
• Cylinders must be secured in an upright position at all times.
• Cylinders must be shielded from welding and cutting operations and positioned to avoid being
struck or knocked over;contacting electrical circuits;or exposed to extreme heat sources.
• Cylinders must be secured on a cradle,basket,or pallet when hoisted; they may not be hoisted by
choker slings.
• See Attachment 4 for the Self-Assessment Checklist (hazardous materials handling)
2.1.2 Drilling Safety
• The drill rig is not to be operated in inclement weather.
• The driller is to verify that the rig is properly leveled and stabilized before raising the mast.
• Personnel should be cleared from the sides and rear of the rig before the mast is raised.
• The driller is not to drive the rig with the mast in the raised position.
• The driller must check for overhead power lines before raising the mast. A minimum distance of 15
feet between mast and overhead lines (<50 kV) is recommended. Increased separation may be
required for lines greater than 50 W.
4

• Personnel should stand clear before rig startup.
• The driller is to verify that the rig is in neutral when the operator is not at the controls.
• Become familiar with the hazards associated with the drilling method used (cable tool, air rotary,
hollow-stem auger,etc.).
• Do not wear loose-fitting clothing,watches, etc.,that could get caught in moving parts.
• Do not smoke or permit other spark-producing equipment around the drill rig.
• The drill rig must be equipped with a kill wire or switch, and personnel are to be informed of its
location.
• Be aware and stand clear of heavy objects that are hoisted overhead.
• The driller is to verify that the rig is properly maintained in accordance with the drilling company's
maintenance program.
• The driller is to verify that all machine guards are in place while the rig is in operation.
• The driller is responsible for housekeeping (maintaining a clean work area).
• The drill rig should be equipped with at least one fire extinguisher.
• If the drill rig comes into contact with electrical wires and becomes electrically energized, do not
touch any part of the rig or any person in contact with the rig, and stay as far away as possible.
Notify emergency personnel immediately
2.1.3 Drum Handling
• Ensure that personnel are trained in proper lifting and moving techniques to prevent back injuries.
• Provide equipment to keep the operator removed from the drums to lessen the likelihood of injury.
Such equipment might include: a drum grappler attached to a hydraulic excavator; a small front-end
loader,which can be either loaded manually or equipped with a bucket sling; a rough terrain
forklift;Roller conveyor equipped with solid rollers; drum carts designed specifically for drum
handling.
• Make sure the vehicle selected has sufficient rated load capacity to handle the anticipated loads,and
make sure the vehicle can operate smoothly on the available road surface.
• Ensure there are Plexiglas cab shields on loaders,backhoes, etc.,when handling drums containing
potentially explosive materials.
• Equipment cabs should be supplied with fire extinguishers, and should be air-conditioned to
increase operator efficiency.
• Supply operators with appropriate respiratory protective equipment when needed.
• Ensure that drums are secure and are not in the operator's view of the roadway.
• Prior to handling,all personnel should be warned about hazards of handling.
• Throughout handling,personnel should be alert for information leading to the identity of new
hazards. Exercise extreme caution in handling drums that are not intact and tightly sealed.
• Before moving anything, determine the most appropriate sequence in which the various drums and
other containers should be moved (e.g. small containers may have to be removed first to permit
heavy equipment to enter and move the drums.
• Overpack drums and an adequate volume of absorbent should be kept near areas where minor spills
may occur.
5

2.1.3.1 Backpack Safety
• Before each operation,check that the frame emergency release is in working order and check that
the tilt switch shuts off power if the unit is tipped more than 55 degrees forward.
• Wear hip boots or chest-high waders,with non-skid soles.
• Wear polarized sunglasses to help you detect sub-surface hazards and obstacles. Beware of turbid
water that can hide unseen subsurface obstacles and sudden drop-offs.
• Shut off your electrofisher before entering or leaving a stream.
• Do not operate an anode pole when carrying a backpack unit weighing more than 20 pounds when
in hazardous conditions.
• If you get water in your boots,waders,or gloves, stop work immediately and get dry clothing.
• Operate slowly and carefully,Footing in most streams is poor,and most falls often occur when
operators are in a hurry.
2.1.4 Field Vehicles
• Field vehicles may be personal vehicles,rental vehicles,fleet vehicles or project vehicles.
• Fleet vehicles are equipped with emergency supplies. It is a project responsibility to equip all
project vehicles with emergency equipment.
• Maintain both a First Aid kit and Fire Extinguisher in the field vehicle at all times.
• Utilize a rotary beacon on vehicle if working adjacent to active roadway.
• Car rental must meet the following requirements:
Dual air bags

• Park vehicle in a location where it can be accessed easily in the event of an emergency. If not
possible,carry a phone.
• Have a designated place for storing the field vehicle keys when not in use.
2.1.5 Fire Prevention
• Fire extinguishers shall be provided so that the travel distance from any work area to the nearest
extinguisher is less than 100 feet.When 5 gallons or more of a flammable or combustible liquid is
being used,an extinguisher must be within 50 feet. Extinguishers must:
6

be maintained in a fully charged and operable condition,
be visually inspected each month,and
undergo a maintenance check each year.
• The area in front of extinguishers must be kept clear.
• Post"Exit" signs over exiting doors, and post"Fire Extinguisher' signs over extinguisher locations.
• Combustible materials stored outside should be at least 10 feet from any building.
• Solvent waste and oily rags must be kept in a fire resistant,covered container until removed from
the site.
• Flammable/combustible liquids must be kept in approved containers,and must be stored in an
approved storage cabinet.
2.1.6 Groundwater Sampling/Water Level Measurements
• Wear the appropriate PPE when sampling,including safety glasses,nitrile gloves,and steel toe
boots (refer to Section 4).
• Monitor headspace of wells prior to sampling to minimize any vapor inhalation (refer to Section 5
on air monitoring).
• Use caution when opening well lids. Wells may contain poisonous spiders and hornet or wasp
nests.
• Use the appropriate lifting procedures (see CH2M HILL SOP HSE-112) when unloading equipment
and sampling at each well.
• Avoid sharp edges on well casings.
• If dermal contact with the groundwater and acid used in sample preservation,wash exposed skin
thoroughly with soap and water.
• Avoid eating and drinking on site and during sampling.
• Use ear plugs during sampling if sampling involves a generator.
• Containerize all purge water and transport to the appropriate storage area.
2.1.7 Hand and Power Tools
(Reference CH2M HILL,SOP HSE-210,Hand and Power Tools)
• Tools shall be inspected prior to use and damaged tools will be tagged and removed from service.
• Hand tools will be used for their intended use and operated in accordance with manufacturer's
instructions and design limitations;
• Maintain all hand and power tools in a safe condition.
• Use PPE (such as gloves,safety glasses,earplugs, and face shields)when exposed to a hazard from a
tool.
• Do not carry or lower a power tool by its cord or hose.
• Portable power tools will be plugged into GFCI protected outlets;and
• Portable power tools will be Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed and have a three-wire grounded
plug or be double insulated.
• Disconnect tools from energy sources when they are not in use,before servicing and cleaning them,
and when changing accessories (such as blades,bits, and cutters).
7

• Safety guards on tools must remain installed while the tool is in use and must be promptly replaced
after repair or maintenance has been performed.
• Store tools properly in a place where they will not be damaged or come in contact with hazardous
materials.
• If a cordless tool is connected to its recharge unit,both pieces of equipment must conform strictly
with electrical standards and manufacturer's specifications.
• Tools used in an explosive environment must be rated for work in that environment (that is,
intrinsically safe,spark-proof, etc.).
• When using a knife or blade tool,stroke or cut away from the body with a smooth motion. Be
careful not to use excessive force that could damage the tool,the material being cut or unprotected
hands.
• Working with manual and pistol-grip hand tools may involve highly repetitive movement,extended
elevation,constrained postures, and/or awkward positioning of body members (for example,hand,
wrist, arm,shoulder,neck,etc.). Consider alternative tool designs, improved posture,the selection
of appropriate materials,changing work organization, and sequencing to prevent muscular, skeletal,
repetitive motion,and cumulative trauma stressors.
2.1.7.1 Machine Guarding
• Ensure that all machine guards are in place to prevent contact with drive lines,belts,chains,pinch
points or any other sources of mechanical injury.
• Unplugging jammed equipment will only be performed when equipment has been shut down, all
sources of energy have been isolated and equipment has been locked/tagged and tested.
• Maintenance and repair of equipment that results in the removal of guards or would otherwise put
anyone at risk requires lockout of that equipment prior to work.
2.1.8 Heavy Equipment (earthmoving/excavating machinery)
(Reference CH2M HILL,SOP HSE-306,Earthmoving Equipment)
• CH2M HILL authorizes only those employees qualified by training or previous experience to
operate material handling equipment.
• Equipment must be checked at the beginning of each shift to ensure the equipment is in safe
operating condition and free of apparent damage. The check should include: service brakes,parking
brakes,emergency brakes, tires,horn,back-up alarm, steering mechanism,coupling devices, seat
belts and operating controls. All defects shall be corrected before the equipment is placed in service.
Documentation of this inspection must be maintained onsite at all times.
• Equipment must be on a stable foundation such as solid ground or cribbing; outriggers are to be
fully extended.
• Equipment must not be used to lift personnel;loads must not be lifted over the heads of personnel.
• Equipment,or parts thereof,which are suspended must be substantially blocked or cribbed to
prevent shifting before personnel are permitted to work under or between them. All controls shall
be in a neutral position,with the motors stopped and brakes set.
• Equipment which is operating in reverse must have a reverse signal alarm distinguishable from the
surrounding noise or a signal person when the operators view is obstructed.
• When equipment is used near energized powerlines,the closest part of the equipment must be at
least 10' from the powerlines <50 kV. Provide an additional 4' for every 10 kV over 50 kV. A person
8

must be designated to observe clearances and give timely warning for all operations where it is
difficult for the operator to maintain the desired clearance by visual means. All overhead
powerlines must be considered to be an energized until the electrical utility authorities indicate that
it is not an energized line and it has been visibly grounded.
• Underground utility lines must be located before excavation begins;
• Operators loading/unloading from vehicles are responsible for seeing that vehicle drivers are in the
vehicle cab or in a safe area.
• The parking brake shall be set whenever equipment is parked,wheels must be chocked when
parked on inclines.
• When not in operation,the blade/bucket must be blocked or grounded;the master clutch must be
disengaged when the operator leaves the cab.When equipment is unattended,power must be shut
off,brakes set,blades/buckets landed and shift lever in neutral.
2.1.9 Drum Sampling Safety
Personnel are permitted to handle and/or sample drums containing certain types of waste (drilling
waste,investigation-derived waste,waste from known sources) only;handling or sampling drums with
unknown contents requires a plan revision or amendment approved by the CH2M HILL RHSM. The
following control measures will be taken when sampling drums:
• Minimize transportation of drums.
• Sample only labeled drums or drums known to contain IDW.
• Use caution when sampling bulging or swollen drums. Relieve pressure slowly.
• If drums contain,or potentially contain,flammable materials,use non-sparking tools to open.
• Picks,chisels, and firearms may not be used to open drums.
• Reseal bung holes or plugs whenever possible.
• Avoid mixing incompatible drum contents.
• Sample drums without leaning over the drum opening.
• Transfer the content of drums using a method that minimizes contact with material.
• PPE and air monitoring requirements specified in Sections 4 and 5 must address IDW drum
sampling.
• Spill-containment procedures specified in Section 7 must be appropriate for the material to be
handled.
• All drums and liquid transfer equipment should be grounded to reduce the potential of a static
discharge.
2.1.10 Knife Use
Open-bladed knives (e.g.,box cutters,utility knives,pocket knives, machetes, and multi-purpose tools
with fixed blades such as a LeathermenTM) are prohibited at worksites except where the following three
conditions are met:
• The open-bladed knife is determined to be the best tool for the job.
• An approved Activity Hazard Analysis (ABA) or written procedure is in place that covers the
necessary safety precautions (work practices, PPE, and training).
• Knife users have been trained and follow the ABA.
9

Responsibilities • Supervisors with assistance from the FTL/SC are responsible for
funding and ensuring the correct tool is being used, employees wear
the proper PPE when using knives, and they have reviewed this
policy.
• Employees are responsible for having and utilizing the proper PPE
while performing an activity requiring the use of a knife. Employees
are also responsible for understanding the proper use of a knife.
Glove • In general, Kevlar cut resistant gloves are to be worn when using a
Requirements knife in an occupational setting.
• Other types of gloves may be required and will be identified within
the AHA/written procedure. Example - Leather gloves may be worn
when using the acetate sleeve cutter.
Training (Ref. VO All employees that will use a knife must be trained in the proper use.
for additional 0 When using a knife always cut away from yourself.
hand safety topics) • Many tasks using a utility knife require a knife edge but not a sharp
point. For these tasks you can add protection against puncture wounds
by using a rounded-tip blade.
• If you use a folding knife, it must be a locking blade type.
• Never use a knife that will fold under pressure.
• If you use a fixed blade knife, make sure there is a handle guard
to keep your hand from slipping forward. Also, make sure the
handle is dry and non- greasy/slippery to assure a better grip.
• When cutting, make the force of the cut carry the blade away
from any part of your body. If you have a peculiar situation
where this is not possible, protect yourself with a leather apron,
or other material placed between you and the blade. Consider
putting the material to be cut in a vise, or other holding device.
• If you carry a fixed blade knife, use a sheath or holder.
• Store utility knives safely, retract the blade or sheath an open blade
before storing. Never, leave a knife with the blade exposed on the
floor, on a pallet, on a work surface, or in a drawer or cabinet.
• Keep your knife sharp. A dull blade requires you to use more
force to cut, and consequently increases the risk of slip or
mistake.
• Knives used on the job, but not carried with you , must be properly
stored when not in use
• Never use a defective knife.
• Utility knife blades are brittle and can snap easily. Don't bend them or
apply side loads to them by using them to open cans or pry loose
objects. Use the knife only to cut. It was not designed to work as a
prybar, screw driver, hole punch, and other assorted things that
make it seem so easy.
• If you do get cut, seek medical attention to treat the injury by
notifying your supervisor and contacting WorkCare at 1-866-893-
2514.
Examples of preferred tools and Kevlar cut resistant gloves:

A safety spring provides for automatic blade"shoot-back"into the handle when contact w/cutting surface is lost
Stay focused on the cutting job. It only takes a second of inattention with a sharp blade to produce a
serious cut. Letting the mind wander or talking with others while using a knife greatly increases the risk
of an accident and injury. If you are interrupted while working with a knife, stop cutting,retract the
blade,and place the knife down on a secure surface before dealing with the interruption. You should
never continue cutting while distracted!
As always,utilize the hierarchy of controls and first attempt to engineer out the hazard and frequently
ask ourselves do we have the right tool for the job.
2.1.11 Manual Lifting
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-112,Manual Lifting)
• Back injuries are the leading cause of disabling work and most back injuries are the result of
improper lifting techniques or overexertion. Office or field tasks and activities involving manual
lifting are to be identified and a program implemented to assist employees to mitigate the risks
associated with manual lifting.
• When possible,the task should be modified to minimize manual lifting hazards.
• Lifting of loads weighing more than 40 pounds (18 kilograms) should be evaluated by the SC using
the Lifting Evaluation Form contained in SOP HSE-112.
• Using mechanical lifting devices is the preferred means of lifting heavy objects such as forklifts;
cranes,hoists,and rigging;hand trucks; and trolleys.
• Personnel shall seek assistance when performing manual lifting tasks that appear beyond their
physical capabilities.
11

• In general,the following steps must be practiced when planning and performing manual lifts:
Assess the situation before you lift; ensure good lifting and body positioning practices;ensure good
carrying and setting down practices.
• All employees must receive training for the correct procedures to lift safely using the computer-
based health and safety training or project-specific training.
2.1.12 Noise
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-108,Hearing Conservation)
• A noise assessment shall be conducted by the RHSM or designee based on potential to emit noise
above 85 dBA.
• Areas or equipment emitting noise at or above 90dBA shall be evaluated to determine feasible
engineering controls. When engineering controls are not feasible, administrative controls can be
developed and appropriate hearing protection will be provided.
• Areas or equipment emitting noise levels at or above 85 dBA,hearing protection must be worn.
• Employees exposed to 84 dBA or a noise dose of 50% must participate in the Hearing Conservation
program including initial and annual (as required) audiograms.
• The RHSM will evaluate appropriate controls measures and work practices for employees who have
experienced a standard threshold shift (STS) in their hearing.
• Hearing protection is selected based upon noise levels and specific tasks to be performed.
• Employees are trained in the hazards of noise and how to properly wear and maintain their hearing
protection.
• Hearing protection will be maintained in a clean and reliable condition,inspected prior to use and
after any occurrence to identify any deterioration or damage, and damaged or deteriorated hearing
protection repaired or discarded.
• In work areas where actual or potential high noise levels are present at any time,hearing protection
must be worn by employees working or walking through the area.
• Areas where tasks requiring hearing protection are taking place may become hearing protection
required areas as long as that specific task is taking place.
• High noise areas requiring hearing protection should be posted or employees must be informed of
the requirements in an equivalent manner.
2.1.13 Pressure Line/Vessel Systems
• Operate and maintain pressure vessels,pumps and hosing in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Do not exceed the rated pressure of the vessels and hosing of the system.
• The system must be provided with a pressure relief valve/controller that safely reduces the system
pressure to within the system rated pressure.
• The pressure relief valve must be rated at no more than 110% the rated pressure of the system and
must be tested at regular intervals.
• Each vessel must be equipped with a functioning pressure gauge to monitor pressure.
2.1.14 Pressure Washing Operations
• Only trained, authorized personnel may operate the high-pressure washer.
12

• Follow manufacturer's safety and operating instructions.
• Inspect pressure washer before use and confirm deadman switch fully operational
• The wand must always be pointed at the work area.
• The trigger should never be tied down
• Never point the wand at yourself or another worker.
• The wand must be at least 42 inches from the trigger to the tip.
• The operator must maintain good footing.
• Non-operators must remain a safe distance from the operator.
• No unauthorized attachment may be made to the unit.
• Do not modify the wand.
• All leaks or malfunctioning equipment must be repaired immediately or the unit taken out-of-
service.
• Polycoated Tyvek or equivalent,16-inch-high steel-toed rubber boots, safety glasses,hard hat with
face shield,and inner and outer nitrile gloves will be worn,at a minimum.
2.1.15 Traffic Control
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-216, Traffic Control)
The following precautions must be taken when working around traffic, and in or near an area where
traffic controls have been established by a contractor.
• Exercise caution when exiting traveled way or parking along street-avoid sudden stops,use
flashers,etc.
• Park in a manner that will allow for safe exit from vehicle,and where practicable,park vehicle so
that it can serve as a barrier.
• All staff working adjacent to traveled way or within work area must wear reflective/high-visibility
safety vests.
• Eye protection should be worn to protect from flying debris.
• Remain aware of factors that influence traffic related hazards and required controls-sun glare,rain,
wind,flash flooding,limited sight-distance,hills,curves, guardrails,width of shoulder (i.e.,
breakdown lane),etc.
• Always remain aware of an escape route (e.g.,behind an established barrier,parked vehicle,
guardrail,etc).
• Always pay attention to moving traffic-never assume drivers are looking out for you.
• Work as far from traveled way as possible to avoid creating confusion for drivers.
• When workers must face away from traffic,a"buddy system' should be used,where one worker is
looking towards traffic.
• When working on highway projects, obtain a copy of the contractor's traffic control plan.
• Work area should be protected by a physical barrier-such as a K-rail or Jersey barrier.
• Review traffic control devices to ensure that they are adequate to protect your work area. Traffic
control devices should: 1) convey a clear meaning,2) command respect of road users,and 3) give
13

adequate time for proper traffic response. The adequacy of these devices are dependent on limited
sight distance,proximity to ramps or intersections,restrictive width, duration of job, and traffic
volume,speed, and proximity.
• Either a barrier or shadow vehicle should be positioned a considerable distance ahead of the work
area. The vehicle should be equipped with a flashing arrow sign and truck-mounted crash cushion
(TMCC). All vehicles within 40 feet of traffic should have an orange flashing hazard light atop the
vehicle.
• Except on highways,flaggers should be used when 1) two-way traffic is reduced to using one
common lane,2) driver visibility is impaired or limited,3) project vehicles enter or exit traffic in an
unexpected manner, or 4) the use of a flagger enhances established traffic warning systems.
• Lookouts should be used when physical barriers are not available or practical.The lookout
continually watches approaching traffic for signs of erratic driver behavior and warns workers.
• Vehicles should be parked at least 40 feet away from the work zone and traffic. Minimize the
amount of time that you will have your back to oncoming traffic.
2.1.16 Utilities (underground)
Do not begin subsurface construction activities (e.g.,trenching,excavation, drilling,etc.) until a check
for underground utilities and similar obstructions has been conducted.The use of as-built drawings and
utility company searches must be supplemented with a geophysical or other survey by a qualified,
independent survey contractor to identify additional and undiscovered buried utilities.
Examples of the type of geophysical technologies include:
• Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR),which can detect pipes,including gas pipes,tanks,conduits,
cables,etc.,both metallic and non-metallic, at depths up to 30 feet depending on equipment.
Sensitivity for both minimum object size and maximum depth detectable depends on equipment
selected, soil conditions, etc.
• Radio Frequency (RF),involves inducing an RF signal in the pipe or cable and using a receiver to
trace it. Some electric and telephone lines emit RF naturally and can be detected without an
induced signal. This method requires knowing where the conductive utility can be accessed to
induce RF field if necessary.
• Dual RF, a modified version of RF detection using multiple frequencies to enhance sensitivity but
with similar limitations to RF.
• Ferromagnetic Detectors,are metal detectors that will detect ferrous and non-ferrous utilities.
Sensitivity is limited, e.g. a 100 mm iron disk to a depth of about one meter or a 25 mm steel paper
clip to a depth of about 20 cm.
• Electronic markers, are emerging technologies that impart a unique electronic signature to materials
such as polyethylene pipe to facilitate location and tracing after installation. Promising for future
installations but not of help for most existing utilities already in place.
Procedure
The following procedures shall be used to identify and mark underground utilities during subsurface
construction activities on the project:
• The survey contractor shall determine the most appropriate geophysical technique or combinations
of techniques to identify the buried utilities on the project,based on the survey contractor's
experience and expertise,types of utilities anticipated to be present, and specific site conditions.
14

• The survey contractor shall employ the same geophysical techniques used on the project to identify
the buried utilities, to survey the proposed path of subsurface construction work, and to confirm no
buried utilities are present.
• Identify customer specific permit and/or procedural requirements for excavation and drilling
activities. For military installations contact the Base Civil Engineer and obtain the appropriate form
to begin the clearance process.
• Contact utility companies or the state/regional utility protection service at least two (2) working
days prior to excavation activities to advise of the proposed work,and ask them to establish the
location of the utility underground installations prior to the start of actual excavation.
• Schedule the independent survey.
• Obtain utility clearances for subsurface work on both public and private property.
• Clearances are to be in writing, signed by the party conducting the clearance.
• Underground utility locations must be physically verified by hand digging using wood or
fiberglass-handled tools when any adjacent subsurface construction activity (e.g. mechanical
drilling,excavating)work is expected to come within 5 feet of the marked underground system. If
subsurface construction activity is within 5 feet and parallel to a marked existing utility,the utility
location must be exposed and verified by hand digging every 100 feet.
• Protect and preserve the markings of approximate locations of facilities until the markings are no
longer required for safe and proper excavations. If the markings of utility locations are destroyed or
removed before excavation commences or is completed, the Project Manager must notify the utility
company or utility protection service to inform them that the markings have been destroyed.
• Conduct a site briefing for employees regarding the hazards associated with working near the
utilities and the means by which the operation will maintain a safe working environment. Detail the
method used to isolate the utility and the hazards presented by breaching the isolation.
2.1.17 Utilities (overhead)
Proximity to Power Lines
No work is to be conducted within 50 feet of overhead power lines without first contacting the utility
company to determine the voltage of the system. No aspect of any piece of equipment is to be operated
within 50 feet of overhead power lines without first making this determination.
Operations adjacent to overhead power lines are PROHIBITED unless one of the following
conditions is satisfied:
• Power has been shut off,positive means (such as lockout) have been taken to prevent the lines from
being energized,lines have been tested to confirm the outage, and the utility company has provided
a signed certification of the outage.
• The minimum clearance from energized overhead lines is as shown in the table below,or the
equipment will be repositioned and blocked to ensure that no part, including cables,can come
within the minimum clearances shown in the table.
15

MINIMUM DISTANCES FROM POWERLINES
Powerlines Nominal System Kv Minimum Required Distance,Feet
0-50 10
51-100 12
101-200 15
201-300 20
301-500 25
501-750 35
751-1000 45
(These distances have been determined to eliminate the potential for arcing based on the line
voltage)
• The power line(s) has been isolated through the use of insulating blankets which have been properly
placed by the utility. If insulating blankets are used,the utility will determine the minimum safe
operating distance; get this determination in writing with the utility representative's signature.
• All inquiries regarding electric utilities must be made in writing and a written confirmation of the
outage/isolation must be received by the Project Manager/Construction Manager prior to the start
of work.
2.1.18 Vinyl Chloride
(Reference CH2M HILL,SOP HSE-512, Vinyl Chloride)
• Do not enter regulated work areas unless training,medical monitoring,and PPE requirements
established by the competent person have been met.
• Do not eat, drink, smoke,chew tobacco or gum, or apply cosmetics in regulated areas.
• Vinyl Chloride is considered a"Confirmed Human Carcinogen."
• A Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL: 15 minutes) exists for this material.
• Vinyl Chloride has a mild,sweet,chloroform-like odor.
• Respiratory protection and other exposure controls selection shall be based on the most recent
exposure monitoring results obtained from the competent person.
2.1.19 Visible Lighting
• While work is in progress outside construction areas shall have at least 33 lux (Ix).
• Construction work conducted inside buildings should be provided with at least 55 lux light.
• The means of egress shall be illuminated with emergency and non-emergency lighting to provide a
minimum 11 Ix measured at the floor. Egress illumination shall be arranged so that the failure of
any single lighting unit,including the burning out of an electric bulb will not leave any area in total
darkness.
2.1.20 Working Alone
(Reference CH2M HILL Core Standard,Working Alone)
Personnel can only be tasked to work alone by the Project Manager who has assessed potential hazards
and appropriate control measures,with assistance from the Responsible Health and Safety Manager
(RHSM).
"Lone workers" with an automated person down system or an accountability system are permitted,
depending on the hazards present.
16

Accountability Systems
• The employee shall at all times be equipped with a working voice communication device such as a
cellular phone or two-way radio to check-in to their project contact (s) at pre-determined times.
• An Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) shall be developed for the tasks allowing work alone and shall
address check in frequency and contact names and phone numbers.
• Check-in or contact times must be based on the risk associated with the task,or the timeframe
expected to complete the task,but at a minimum of at least two times during an 8 hour work shift.
Work tasks will cease if communication is lost during work day. Work may resume when
communication is re-established. See Attachment 7 for Working Alone Standard to be used.
2.2 General Hazards

local regulations.
• Note the correct way to lift heavy objects (secure footing,firm grip,straight back,lift with legs),and
get help if needed.Use mechanical lifting devices whenever possible.
• Check the work area to determine what problems or hazards may exist.
2.2.2 Personal Hygiene
• Keep hands away from nose,mouth,and eyes.
• Keep areas of broken skin (chapped,burned, etc.) covered.
• Wash hands with hot water and soap frequently prior to eating and smoking.
2.2.3 Substance Abuse
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-105,Drug-Free Workplace)
Employees who work under the influence of controlled substances, drugs, or alcohol may prove to be
dangerous or otherwise harmful to themselves, other employees,clients,the company,the company's
assets and interests,or the public. CH2M HILL does not tolerate illegal drug use, or any use of drugs,
controlled substances,or alcohol that impairs an employee's work performance or behavior. Drug
and/or alcohol testing is applicable under CCI and munitions response projects performed in the
United States. In addition,employees may be required to submit to drug and/or alcohol testing as
required by clients. When required,this testing is performed in accordance with SOP HSE-105,Drug-
Free Workplace. Employees who are enrolled in drug or alcohol testing are required to complete annual
training located on the VO.
Prohibitions onsite include:
• Use or possession of intoxicating beverages while performing CH2M HILL work.
• Abuse of prescription or nonprescription drugs.
• Use or possession of illegal drugs or drugs obtained illegally.
• Sale,purchase, or transfer of legal,illegal or illegally obtained drugs.
• Arrival at work under the influence of legal or illegal drugs or alcohol.
2.2.4 Driving
• Always be aware of surroundings while operating a vehicle. Avoid intellectual stress &worries,
talking on a cellular phone,eating, drinking, smoking,reading a map, adjusting controls or looking
at a passenger while driving.
• Use prudent speed limits, assure that backup warning devices are working,be aware of blind spots
or other hazards associated with low visibility,etc. Use a spotter if necessary.
• Do no drive while drowsy. Drowsiness can occur at any time,but is most likely after 18 hours or
more without sleep.
18

2.2.5 Hazard Communication
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-107,Hazard Communication)
The Hazard Communication Coordinator is to perform the following:
• Complete an inventory of chemicals brought on site by CH2M HILL using Attachment 2.
• Confirm that an inventory of chemicals brought on site by CH2M HILL subcontractors is available.
• Request or confirm locations of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) from the client,contractors,
and subcontractors for chemicals to which CH2M HILL employees potentially are exposed.
• Before or as the chemicals arrive on site,obtain an MSDS for each hazardous chemical.
• Label chemical containers with the identity of the chemical and with hazard warnings, and store
properly.
• Give employees required chemical-specific HAZCOM training using Attachment 3.
• Store all materials properly, giving consideration to compatibility,quantity limits,secondary
containment,fire prevention,and environmental conditions.
2.2.6 Inclement Weather
Sudden inclement weather can rapidly encroach upon field personnel. Preparedness and caution are
the best defenses. Field crew members performing work outdoors should carry clothing appropriate for
inclement weather. Personnel are to take heed of the weather forecast for the day and pay attention for
signs of changing weather that indicate an impending storm. Signs include towering thunderheads,
darkening skies, or a sudden increase in wind. If stormy weather ensues,field personnel should
discontinue work and seek shelter until the storm has passed.
Protective measures during a lightning storm include seeking shelter;avoiding projecting above the
surrounding landscape (don't stand on a hilltop--seek low areas) and ceasing intrusive work inside a
building(i.e. DPT), staying away from open water,metal equipment,railroad tracks,wire fences,and
metal pipes; and positioning people several yards apart. Some other general precautions include:
• Know where to go and how long it will take to get there. If possible,take refuge in a large building
or vehicle. Do not go into a shed in an open area.
• The inclination to see trees as enormous umbrellas is the most frequent and most deadly mistake.
Do not go under a large tree that is standing alone. Likewise,avoid poles,antennae and towers.
• If the area is wide open, go to a valley or ravine,but be aware of flash flooding.
• If you are caught in a level open area during an electrical storm and you feel your hair stand on end,
drop to your knees,bend forward and put your hands on your knees or crouch. The idea is to make
yourself less vulnerable by being as low to the ground as possible and taking up as little ground
space as possible. Lying down is dangerous, since the wet earth can conduct electricity. Do not
touch the ground with your hands.
• Do not use telephones during electrical storms,except in the case of emergency
Remember that lightning may strike several miles from the parent cloud, so work should be
stopped/restarted accordingly. The lightning safety recommendation is 30-30:Seek refuge when
thunder sounds within 30 seconds after a lightning flash;and do not resume activity until 30 minutes
after the last thunder clap.
High winds can cause unsafe conditions, and activities should be halted until wind dies down. High
winds can also knock over trees,so walking through forested areas during high-wind situations should
19

be avoided. If winds increase, seek shelter or evacuate the area. Proper body protection should be worn
in case the winds hit suddenly,because body temperature can decrease rapidly.
2.2.7 Shipping and Transportation of Chemical Products
(Reference CH2M HILL's Procedures for Shipping and Transporting Dangerous Goods)
Chemicals brought to the site might be defined as hazardous materials by the U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT). All staff who ship the materials or transport them by road must receive CH2M
HILL training in shipping dangerous goods. All hazardous materials that are shipped (e.g.,via Federal
Express) or are transported by road must be properly identified,labeled,packed, and documented by
trained staff. Contact the RHSM or the Warehouse Coordinator for additional information.
2.2.8 Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation (sun exposure)
Health effects regarding UV radiation are confined to the skin and eyes. Overexposure can result in
many skin conditions,including erythema (redness or sunburn),photoallergy (skin rash),phototoxicity
(extreme sunburn acquired during short exposures to UV radiation while on certain medications),
premature skin aging,and numerous types of skin cancer.
Acute overexposure of UV radiation to the eyes may lead to photokeratitis (inflammation of the cornea),
also known as snow blindness. Symptoms include redness of the eyes and a gritty feeling,which
progresses to pain and an inability to tolerate any kind of light. This condition can also occur when
working in or around water and other UV radiation reflectors. In addition,long-term exposure to
sunlight is thought to cause cataracts or clouding of the lens of the eye.
Limit Exposure Time
• Rotate staff so the same personnel are not exposed all of the time.
• Limit exposure time when UV radiation is at peak levels (approximately 2 hours before and after the
sun is at its highest point in the sky).
• Avoid exposure to the sun,or take extra precautions when the UV index rating is high.
Provide Shade
• Take lunch and breaks in shaded areas.
• Create shade or shelter through the use of umbrellas,tents,and canopies.
• Fabrics such as canvas,sailcloth,awning material and synthetic shade cloth create good UV
radiation protection.
• Check the UV protection of the materials before buying them. Seek protection levels of 95 percent or
greater,and check the protection levels for different colors.
Clothing
• Reduce UV radiation damage by wearing proper clothing;for example,long sleeved shirts with
collars,and long pants. The fabric should be closely woven and should not let light through.
• Head protection should be worn to protect the face,ears,and neck.Wide-brimmed hats with a neck
flap or"Foreign Legion' style caps offer added protection.
• Wear UV-protective sunglasses or safety glasses.These should fit closely to the face. Wrap-around
style glasses provide the best protection.
20

Sunscreen
• Apply sunscreen generously to all exposed skin surfaces at least 20 minutes before exposure,
allowing time for it to adhere to the skin.
• Re-apply sunscreen at least every 2 hours,and more frequently when sweating or performing
activities where sunscreen may be wiped off.
• Choose a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF). Most dermatologists advocate SPF 30 or
higher for significant sun exposure.
• Waterproof sunscreens should be selected for use in or near water,and by those who perspire
sufficiently to wash off non-waterproof products.
• Check for expiration dates,because most sunscreens are only good for about 3 years. Store in a cool
place out of the sun.
• Remember—no sunscreen provides 100% protection against UV radiation. Other precautions must
be taken to avoid overexposure.
2.2.9 Temperature Extremes
Each employee is responsible for the following:
• Recognizing the symptoms of heat or cold stress
• Taking appropriate precautionary measures to minimize their risk of exposure to temperature
extremes
• Communicating any concerns regarding heat and cold stress to their supervisor or SC
2.2.9.1 Heat Stress
General
Physical fitness influences a person's ability to perform work under heat loads. At a given level of
work,the more fit a person is,the less the physiological strain,the lower the heart rate,the lower the
body temperature (indicates less retrained body heat—a rise in internal temperature precipitates heat
injury),and the more efficient the sweating mechanism.
Acclimatization is the degree to which a worker's body has physiologically adjusted or acclimatized to
working under hot conditions. Acclimatization affects their ability to do work. Acclimatized individuals
sweat sooner and more profusely than unacclimatized individuals. Acclimatization occurs gradually
over 1 to 2 weeks of continuous exposure,but it can be lost in as little as 3 days in a cooler environment.
Dehydration reduces body water volume. This reduces the body's sweating capacity and directly
affects its ability to dissipate excess heat.
The ability of a body to dissipate heat depends on the ratio of its surface area to its mass (surface
area/weight). Heat dissipation is a function of surface area,while heat production depends on body
mass. Therefore,overweight individuals (those with a low ratio) are more susceptible to heat-related
illnesses because they produce more heat per unit of surface area than if they were thinner. Monitor
these persons carefully if heat stress is likely.
When wearing impermeable clothing,the weight of an individual is not as important in determining
the ability to dissipate excess heat because the primary heat dissipation mechanism,evaporation of
sweat,is ineffective.

Precautions
• Drink 16 ounces of water before beginning work. Disposable cups and water maintained at 50oF to
60-F should be available. Under severe conditions, drink 1 to 2 cups every 20 minutes,for a total of 1
to 2 gallons per day. Do not use alcohol in place of water or other nonalcoholic fluids. Decrease your
intake of coffee and caffeinated soft drinks during working hours.
• Acclimate yourself by slowly increasing workloads (e.g., do not begin with extremely demanding
activities).
• Use cooling devices,such as cooling vests,to aid natural body ventilation. These devices add
weight, so their use should be balanced against efficiency.
• Use mobile showers or hose-down facilities to reduce body temperature and cool protective
clothing.
• Conduct field activities in the early morning or evening and rotate shifts of workers,if possible.
• Avoid direct sun whenever possible,which can decrease physical efficiency and increase the
probability of heat stress. Take regular breaks in a cool,shaded area. Use a wide-brim hat or an
umbrella when working under direct sun for extended periods.
• Provide adequate shelter/shade to protect personnel against radiant heat (sun,flames,hot metal).
• Maintain good hygiene standards by frequently changing clothing and showering.
• Observe one another for signs of heat stress. Persons who experience signs of heat syncope,heat
rash, or heat cramps should consult the SC to avoid progression of heat-related illness.
Thermal Stress Monitoring
The following procedures should be implemented when the ambient air temperature exceeds 70'F,the
relative humidity is high(greater than 50 percent),or when the workers exhibit symptoms of heat stress.
• The heart rate should be measured by the radial pulse for 30 seconds,as early as possible in the
resting period.
• The heart rate at the beginning of the rest period should not exceed 110 beats per minute, or 20 beats
per minute above resting pulse.
22

• If the heart rate is higher,the next work period should be shortened by 33 percent,while the length
of the rest period stays the same.
• If the pulse rate still exceeds 110 beats per minute at the beginning of the next rest period, the
following work cycle should be further shortened by 33 percent.
• Continue this procedure until the rate is maintained below 110 beats per minute, or 20 beats per
minute above resting pulse.
• Alternately,the oral temperature can be measured before the workers have something to drink.
• If the oral temperature exceeds 99.6 degrees F at the beginning of the rest period,the following work
cycle should be shortened by 33 percent.
• Continue this procedure until the oral temperature is maintained below 99.6 degrees F. While an
accurate indication of heat stress, oral temperature is difficult to measure in the field.
2.2.9.2 Cold
General
Low ambient temperatures increase the heat lost from the body to the environment by radiation and
convection. In cases where the worker is standing on frozen ground,the heat loss is also due to
conduction.
Wet skin and clothing,whether because of water or perspiration,may conduct heat away from the body
through evaporative heat loss and conduction. Thus,the body cools suddenly when chemical protective
clothing is removed if the clothing underneath is perspiration soaked.
Movement of air across the skin reduces the insulating layer of still air just at the skins surface.
Reducing this insulating layer of air increases heat loss by convection.
Non-insulating materials in contact or near-contact with the skin, such as boots constructed with a metal
toe or shank,conduct heat rapidly away from the body.
Certain common drugs,such as alcohol,caffeine,or nicotine,may exacerbate the effects of cold,
especially on the extremities. These chemicals reduce the blood flow to peripheral parts of the body,
which are already high-risk areas because of their large surface area to volume ratios. These substances
may also aggravate an already hypothermic condition.
Precautions
• Be aware of the symptoms of cold-related disorders, and wear proper,layered clothing for the
anticipated fieldwork. Appropriate rain gear is a must in wet weather.
• Consider monitoring the work conditions and adjusting the work schedule using guidelines
developed by the U.S. Army (wind-chill index) and the National Safety Council (NSC).
• Wind-Chill Index (below) is used to estimate the combined effect of wind and low air temperatures
on exposed skin. The wind-chill index does not take into account the body part that is exposed,the
level of activity, or the amount or type of clothing worn. For those reasons,it should only be used as
a guideline to warn workers when they are in a situation that can cause cold-related illnesses.
• NSC Guidelines for Work and Warm-Up Schedules can be used with the wind-chill index to
estimate work and warm-up schedules for fieldwork. The guidelines are not absolute;workers
should be monitored for symptoms of cold-related illnesses. If symptoms are not observed,the work
duration can be increased.
23

• Persons who experience initial signs of immersion foot,frostbite, and/or hypothermia should report
it immediately to their supervisor/PM to avoid progression of cold-related illness.
• Observe one another for initial signs of cold-related disorders.
• Obtain and review weather forecast-be aware of predicted weather systems along with sudden
drops in temperature,increase in winds, and precipitation.

2.3 Biological Hazards and Controls
2.3.1 Black Bears
Bears may inhabit wooded areas where there is scarce continuous human presence. Make your presence
known-especially when vegetation and terrain make it hard to see. Make noise, sing, or talk loudly.
Avoid thick brush. Try to walk with the wind at your back so your scent will warn bears of your
presence.
Give bears plenty of room. Every bear has a"personal space' -the distance within which a bear feels
threatened-that can be from a few feet to a few hundred feet. If you stray within that zone,a bear may
act aggressively. Never approach bears,even if only out of curiosity, and never attempt to feed bears.
24

If a bear cannot recognize you,he may come closer or stand on his hind legs for a better view. You may
try to back away slowly diagonally,but if the bear follows, stop and stand your ground. If the bear
moves closer or acts aggressively,stay close together and wave your arms and shout.
Do not climb a tree-black bears are good climbers.
Do not run. Bears have been clocked at speeds of up to 35 mph,and like dogs,will chase fleeing
animals. Bears often make bluff charges, sometimes up to 10 feet away without making contact.
Continue waving your arms and shouting. Never imitate bears sounds or use high-pitched squeals.
If attacked, do not run. Clasp your hands tightly over the back of your neck or if you are carrying a
backpack use it to protect your head and neck and remain still.
For Black bears,if the attack lasts for more than a few seconds,respond aggressively-use sticks,rocks,
your fists or noise. Black bears will sometimes back off if they are challenged.
2.3.2 Bees and Other Stinging Insects
Bees and other stinging insects may be encountered almost anywhere and may present a serious hazard,
particularly to people who are allergic. Watch for and avoid nests. Keep exposed skin to a minimum.
Carry a kit if you have had allergic reactions in the past, and inform your supervisor and/or buddy. If a
stinger is present,remove it carefully with tweezers. Wash and disinfect the wound,cover it, and apply
ice. Watch for allergic reaction;contact the occupational nurse at 1-866-893-2514 immediately if a
reaction develops or 911 if the reaction is severe.
2.3.3 Bloodborne Pathogens
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-202,Bloodborne Pathogens)
Exposure to bloodborne pathogens may occur when rendering first aid or CPR,or when coming into
contact with landfill waste or waste streams containing potentially infectious material (PIM).
• Employees trained in first-aid/CPR or those exposed to PIM must complete CH2M HILL's 1-hour
bloodborne computer-based training module annually.
• Hepatitis B vaccine (HBV) is offered to employees who may be exposed to PIM when they complete
training and within 10 working days of assignment. (Note: Employees whose exposure stems only
from rendering first aid as a collateral duty receives the vaccine after exposure.)
• Employees who decline the HBV vaccine must sign the declination form(contact regional Safety
Program Assistant [SPA]) indicating they declined the vaccination. Anyone who declines the
vaccination and chooses to receive the vaccination at a later time may still receive the vaccination by
contacting the SPA.
• Hepatitis B and tetanus vaccinations can be requested by completing the medical portion of the
enrollment form,located under Tools &Forms at the HS&E web page, or by contacting the regional
SPA.
Work Controls
• Observe universal precautions to prevent contact with blood or other PIMs. Where differentiation
between body fluid types is difficult or impossible,consider all body fluids to be potentially
infectious materials.
• Consider all sharps encountered at industrial,medical, dental, or biological waste facilities or
sampling locations to be contaminated and PIMs.
• Always wash your hands and face with soap and running water after contacting PIMs. If washing
facilities are unavailable, use an antiseptic cleanser with clean paper towels or moist towelettes.
25

These must be provided for employees who have been exposed to PIMs. When antiseptic cleansers
or towelettes are used,always rewash your hands and face with soap and running water as soon as
available. Do not consume food or beverages until after thoroughly washing your hands and face.
• Decontaminate all potentially contaminated equipment and environmental surfaces with chlorine
bleach as soon as possible. Clean and decontaminate on a regular basis (and immediately upon
visible contamination) all bins,pails,cans, and other receptacles intended for reuse that have the
potential for becoming contaminated.
• Use one part chlorine bleach (5.25 percent sodium hypochlorite solution) diluted with 10 parts water
for decontaminating equipment or surfaces after initially removing blood or other PIMs. Remove
contaminated PPE as soon as possible before leaving a work area.
• Place regulated waste in containers that are closable; are constructed to contain all contents and
prevent leakage of fluids during handling, storage,transport or shipping; are labeled with a
Biological warning label or color-coded;and are tightly closed prior to removal to prevent spillage
or protrusion of contents during handling, storage,transport, or shipping.
Employees who participate in waste characterization studies, sort or sample refuse, or contact medical,
dental, or biological waste streams should follow these procedures:
• If exposure is anticipated, this group of employees should wear safety goggles or glasses,puncture-
resistant utility gloves with inner latex glove liners,Tyvek coveralls or cotton coveralls with a rubber
apron, and puncture-resistant shoes or boots.
• If splash potential is present,employees should wear a full-face shield.
• If a respiratory hazard is present,a full-face respirator with HEPA filters should be worn.
Post Exposure
CH2M HILL will provide exposed employees with a confidential medical examination should an
exposure to PIM occur. This examination includes the following procedures:
• Documenting the exposure
• Testing the exposed employee's and the source individual's blood (with consent)
• Administering post-exposure prophylaxis
2.3.4 Bird Droppings
Large populations of roosting birds may present a disease risk. The most serious health risks arise from
disease organisms that grow in the nutrient-rich accumulations of bird droppings,feathers and debris
under a roost — particularly if roosts have been active for years. In addition,insects that live on birds or
their droppings may become a problem when the infested birds leave roosts or nests.
Histoplasmosis and cryptococcosis are caused by fungi. The diseases are transmitted to humans by
airborne fungus spores from soil contaminated by pigeon and other bird/bat droppings. Most infections
are mild and produce either no symptoms or a minor influenza-like illness. On occasion,the diseases
can cause high fever,blood abnormalities,pneumonia and even death.
The best way to prevent exposure to fungus spores is to avoid situations where material that might be
contaminated can become aerosolized and subsequently inhaled. A brief inhalation exposure to highly
contaminated dust may be all that is needed to cause infection and subsequent development of fungal
disease. Therefore,work practices and dust control measures that eliminate or reduce dust generation
during the removal of bat or bird manure from a building will also reduce risks of infection and
subsequent development of disease.
26

If disturbing the droppings or removal is necessary,follow these controls:
• Use dust control measures (wetting with water or HEPA vacuuming) for all activities that may
generate dust form the accumulated droppings.
• Wear Tyvek with hoods, disposable gloves and booties, and air-purifying respirators with a
minimum N95 rating.
• Put droppings into plastic/poly bags and preferably into a 55-gallon drum to prevent bag from
ripping
2.3.5 Cougars/Mountain Lions
Like bears,cougars will often retreat if given the opportunity. Walking in groups and making noise will
give the cougar the chance to retreat and reduce the likelihood of a sudden encounter. Be especially
cautious during dusk and dawn.
If you see a cougar—do not play dead, do not run. Running may trigger an attack. Face the cougar and
retreat slowly maintaining eye contact. If the cougar continues advancing,raise your arms above your
head to make yourself look larger than normal. This may help to intimidate the cougar. Sometimes
aggressive yelling and rock throwing may scare it off.
If attacked,fight back with whatever is at hand (without turning your back)—people have utilized
rocks,jackets, garden tools,tree branches, and even bare hands to turn away cougars.
2.3.6 Coyotes
Coyotes are found in some areas of the base.While far from domesticated,coyotes show little fear of
humans and have become comfortable living in close proximity to our communities. Although they
tend to do most of their hunting after dusk,coyotes can be active at any time. Under normal
circumstances, a coyote is not a danger to humans. They are,however,territorial and will respond
aggressively if they or their family are threatened.
If you encounter a coyote that behaves aggressively,you have probably gotten too close to its prey or its
family. Try to scare the coyote by yelling and waving your arms. Throw rocks, sticks or other objects. Do
not turn away and run.
2.3.7 Feral Dogs
Avoid all dogs-both leashed and stray. Do not disturb a dog while it is sleeping,eating,or caring for
puppies. If a dog approaches to sniff you,stay still. An aggressive dog has a tight mouth,flattened ears
and a direct stare. If you are threatened by a dog,remain calm, do not scream and avoid eye contact. If
you say anything, speak calmly and firmly. Do not turn and run,try to stay still until the dog leaves,or
back away slowly until the dog is out of sight or you have reached safety (e.g.vehicle). If attacked,
retreat to vehicle or attempt to place something between you and the dog. If you fall or are knocked to
the ground,curl into a ball with your hands over your head and neck and protect your face. If bitten,
immediately scrub the bite site vigorously with soap and water. Report the incident to the local
authorities. Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
2.3.8 Hanta Virus
Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) is a rare disease caused by a virus which can be transmitted
from certain rodents to humans. Symptoms may develop between 14 and 31 days after exposure to
infected rodents and their droppings and body fluids. Early symptoms include fatigue,fever, and
muscle aches, especially the large muscle groups--thighs,hips,back and sometimes shoulders. These
symptoms are universal. About half of all HPS patients also experience headaches, dizziness,chills
and/or abdominal pain. Four to 10 days after the initial phase of the illness,late symptoms of HPS may
appear. These include coughing and shortness of breath,with the sensation of, as one survivor put it,a
27

"... tight band around my chest and a pillow over my face" as the lungs fill with fluid,which can cause
pulmonary shock,failure and death. If you develop symptoms suggestive of HPS,call the occupational
nurse at 1-866-893-2514.
The presence of hantavirus is recognized throughout the Southwest United States. Human infection
may occur when infected saliva or excreta are inhaled as aerosols produced directly from the animal.
Transmission may also occur when dried materials contaminated by rodent excreta are disturbed,
directly introduced into broken skin,introduced onto the eye, or ingested in contaminated food or
water. Personnel have also become infected after being bitten by rodents. In New Mexico, the Deer
Mouse is the main carrier of the virus,with the Cotton Rat and the White-Footed and Brush Mice also
identified as carriers. Therefore, all wild mice and rats should be considered potential Hantavirus
carriers. Researchers do not believe that Hantavirus is transmitted to humans by any other types of
animals besides rodents. There is currently no evidence that squirrels or rabbits carry Hantavirus. Dogs
and cats do not carry the virus,but they may bring home infected rodents.
Inspect each crawlspace for evidence of rodents. If there is evidence,take precautions before and during
clean up of rodent-infested areas. Before cleaning,attempt to trap the rodents and prevent entry.
Spring-loaded traps that kill rodents are the preferred method. If you must reuse the traps, spray them
thoroughly with bleach (1:10 with water) or other commercial disinfectant mixture. Dispose of trapped
or deceased rodents carefully according to the guidelines detailed below. Do not trap rodents live,nor
use glueboards or rodenticides. Mice that are poisoned may die in an inaccessible place,and
Hantavirus can be released as the rodent decomposes.
Continue trapping operations as long as possible. If no rodents are captured,the active infestation has
most likely been eliminated.
PPE shall include:
• Tyvek coveralls;
• Rubber boots or disposable shoe covers;
• Rubber,latex,or vinyl gloves;
• Protective goggles;
• Respiratory protection such as a full face or half-mask air-purifying respirator with a high-efficiency
particulate air (HEPA)filter.
Before starting clean up of the space,ventilate the space for at least 30 minutes to allow fresh air to enter
the area. Use cross-ventilation and leave the space during the airing-out period.
Spray any urine, droppings, and nesting materials with either a bleach and water solution(1 parts
bleach to 9 parts water) or a household disinfectant prepared according to the label instructions for
dilution and disinfection time. Soak well and let stand for 15 minutes. This will inactivate any virus.
Use a paper towel or rag to pick up the materials and dispose of them.
Mop floors (if basement floor) after spraying them using bleach/water solution or a disinfectant. Dirt
floors can be sprayed with either bleach and water solution or a disinfectant.
Personal protective gear should be decontaminated upon removal at the end of the day. All potentially
infective waste material (including respirator filters) from clean-up operations shall be double-bagged in
appropriate plastic bags.
28

2.3.9 Mosquito Bites
Due to the recent detection of the West Nile Virus in the Southwestern United States it is recommended
that preventative measures be taken to reduce the probability of being bitten by mosquitoes whenever
possible. Mosquitoes are believed to be the primary source for exposure to the West Nile Virus as well
as several other types of encephalitis. The following guidelines should be followed to reduce the risk of
these concerns for working in areas where mosquitoes are prevalent.
• Stay indoors at dawn, dusk, and in the early evening.
• Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants whenever you are outdoors.
• Spray clothing with repellents containing permethrin or DEET since mosquitoes may bite through
thin clothing.
• Apply insect repellent sparingly to exposed skin. An effective repellent will contain 35% DEET
(N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide). Repellents may irritate the eyes and mouth, so avoid applying
repellent to the hands.
• Whenever you use an insecticide or insect repellent,be sure to read and follow the manufacturer's
DIRECTIONS FOR USE,as printed on the product.
• Note: Vitamin B and "ultrasonic" devices are NOT effective in preventing mosquito bites.
Symptoms of Exposure to the West Nile Virus
Most infections are mild, and symptoms include fever,headache, and body aches, occasionally with
skin rash and swollen lymph glands. More severe infection may be marked by headache,high fever,
neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation,coma,tremors,convulsions,muscle weakness,paralysis, and,
rarely, death.
The West Nile Virus incubation period is from 3-15 days.
Contact the project RHSM with questions,and immediately report any suspicious symptoms to your
supervisor/PM and contact the occupational nurse at 1-866-893-2514.
2.3.10 Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac
Poison ivy,poison oak, and poison sumac typically are found in brush or wooded areas. They are more
commonly found in moist areas or along the edges of wooded areas. Shrubs are usually 12 to 30 inches
high, or can also be a tree-climbing vine,with triple leaflets and short, smooth hair underneath. Plants
are red and dark green in Spring and Summer,with yellowing leaves anytime especially in dry areas.
Leaves may achieve bright reds in Fall,but plants lose its (yellowed,then brown) leaves in Winter,
leaving toxic stems. All parts of the plant remain toxic throughout the seasons. These plants contain
urushiol (you-ROO-shee-ol), a colorless or pale yellow oil that oozes from any cut or crushed part of the
plant,including the roots, stems and leaves and causes allergic skin reactions when contacted. The oil is
active year round.
Become familiar with the identity of these plants (see below).Wear protective clothing that covers
exposed skin and clothes. Avoid contact with plants and the outside of protective clothing. If skin
contacts a plant,wash the area with soap and water immediately. If the reaction is severe or worsens,
seek medical attention.
29

Poison Ivy Poison Sumac Poison Oak
r - j
. r
Contamination with poison ivy, sumac or oak can happen through several pathways,including:
• Direct skin contact with any part of the plant(even roots once above ground foliage has been
removed).
• Contact with clothing that has been contaminated with the oil.
• Contact from removing shoes that have been contaminated (shoes are coated with urishol oil).
• Sitting in a vehicle that has become contaminated.
• Contact with any objects or tools that have become contaminated.
• Inhalation of particles generated by weed whacking,chipping,vegetation clearing.
If you must work on a site with poison ivy,sumac or oak the following precautions are necessary:
• Do not drive vehicles onto the site where it will come into contact with poison ivy,sumac or oak.
Vehicles which need to work in the area,such as drill rigs or heavy equipment must be washed as
soon as possible after leaving the site.
• All tools used in the poison ivy,sumac or oak area,including those used to cut back poison oak,
surveying instruments used in the area,air monitoring equipment or other test apparatus must be
decontaminated before they are placed back into the site vehicle. If on-site decontamination is not
possible,use plastic to wrap any tools or equipment until they can be decontaminated.
• Personal protective equipment,including Tyvek coveralls, gloves, and boot covers must be worn.
PPE must be placed into plastic bags and sealed if they are not disposed immediately into a trash
receptacle.
• As soon as possible following the work, shower to remove any potential contamination. Any body
part with suspected or actual exposure should be washed with"Tecnu" or other product designed
for removing urushiol. If you do not have Tecnu wash with cold water. Do not take a bath,as the
oils can form and invisible film on top of the water and contaminate your entire body upon exiting
the bath.
• Tecnu may also be used to decontaminate equipment.
• Use IvyBlock or similar products to prevent poison oak,ivy and sumac contamination. Check with
the closest CH2M HILL warehouse to see if these products are available. Follow all directions for
application.
If you do come into contact with one of these poisonous plants and a reaction develops,contact your
supervisor and the occupational nurse 1-866-893-2514.
30

2.3.11 Snakes
Snakes typically are found in underbrush and tall grassy areas. If you encounter a snake, stay calm and
look around;there may be other snakes. Turn around and walk away on the same path you used to
approach the area. If a person is bitten by a snake,wash and immobilize the injured area,keeping it
lower than the heart if possible. Call the occupational nurse at 1-866-893-2514 immediately. DO NOT
apply ice,cut the wound, or apply a tourniquet. Try to identify the type of snake: note color, size,
patterns,and markings.
2.3.12 Spiders - Brown Recluse
It is regarded by many as the most dangerous spider in the United States. Because of interstate
shipping/transportation,the Brown Recluse spider can be found most anywhere in the United States.
Brown Recluse Spiders are usually 1 inch
or larger in size,including the legs and can grow as
large as 3 inches. Young Brown Recluse spiders are
smaller. Brown recluse spider bites don't always hurt
right away. away. In fact,you may not know that you
have been bitten until other symptoms appear.
Symptoms of a brown recluse spider bite may include
the following:
• Reddened skin followed by a blister that forms at the bite site. /
• Mild to intense pain and itching for 2 to 8 hours following the bite.
• An open sore with a breakdown of tissue (necrosis) that develops within a few hours to 3 to 4 days
following the bite and the area may become painful,itchy,hot,swollen,red and tender. An irregular
ulcerous sore,caused by necrosis,will often appear that is from 1/4 inch to 10 inches in diameter.
Prompt attention is the best defense against preventing the necrosis. The wound is often described
as being reddish and surrounded by a bluish area with a narrow whitish separation in between the
red and the blue. This gives it the famous "bull's eye" pattern. In just hours, a bite from the highly
venomous Brown Recluse spider can create blisters and cause tissue damage.
Some people have a severe, systemic (whole-body) reaction to brown recluse spider bites,including the
rapid destruction of red blood cells and anemia.Signs and symptoms include:
Fever and chills.
• Skin rash all over the body with many tiny,flat purple and red spots.
• Nausea or vomiting.
• Joint pain.
If you think you have been bitten by a brown recluse spider:
• Remain calm. Too much excitement or movement will increase the flow of venom into the blood.
• Try to collect the spider,without being bitten, (even a mangled specimen has diagnostic value),if
possible,for positive identification by a spider expert. A plastic bag,small jar, or pill vial is useful
and no preservative is necessary,but rubbing alcohol helps to preserve the spider.
• Apply a cool,wet cloth to the bite or cover the bite with a cloth and apply an ice bag to the bite.
• Do not apply a tourniquet. It may cause more harm than benefit.
• Try to positively identify the spider to confirm its type.
• Seek prompt medical attention.
31

A brown recluse bite can be serious and will likely require immediate medical care. Seek medical
attention if you believe you have been bitten by a recluse spider,especially if severe symptoms develop
throughout your body or an open sore and necrosis develop. A brown recluse spider bite is diagnosed
through a physical examination and questions about the bite. You should be prepared to describe the
spider,where and when the bite took place, and what you were doing at the time.Your health
professional will ask what your main symptoms are,when they began, and how they have developed,
progressed, or changed since the bite.
2.3.13 Widow Spiders
The Northern Black Widow spider may be encountered in Northern Regions of the United States. Other
similar widow spiders are the Red Widow and the Brown Widow.Female widow spiders range from 8-
15 mm in body length;males are smaller, sometimes very small (2 mm). Most have globose, shiny
abdomens that are predominantly black with red markings (although some may be pale and/or have
lateral stripes),with moderately long, slender legs. These spiders are nocturnal and build a three-
dimensional tangled web, often with a conical tent of dense silk in a corner where the spider hides
during the day. In nature,most species are found under rocks and logs,but they readily adapt to
human-altered environments,where they are most commonly found in outbuildings (sheds,barns,
privies),water meter holes,nursery cans,and under any item or structure (e.g.,barbeque grill, slide,
sand box) that has been undisturbed for a lengthy period. Formerly,most bites by black widows (almost
all by female spiders) occurred in outhouses,but presently,widow bites occur most frequently when the
spider is trapped against human skin,either by reaching under objects where the spider is hiding or
when putting on clothing, gloves or shoes containing the spider.Widow spiders are generally very
timid and only bite in self-defense when they accidentally contact humans.
Black Widow Red Widow Brown Widow
Bite symptoms are systemic,spreading through the lymphatic system,and usually start about 1-3 hours
after the bite.The most common symptoms are intense pain,rigid abdominal muscles,muscle
cramping,malaise,local sweating,nausea,vomiting, and hypertension. Other symptoms may
includetremors,labored breathing,restlessness,increased blood pressure,and fever. If left untreated,
widow bite symptoms usually last 3-5 days.
If bitten,remain calm,and immediately seek medical attention (contact your physician,hospital and/or
poison control center). Apply an ice pack directly to the bite area to relieve swelling and pain.Try to
collect the spider,without being bitten, (even a mangled specimen has diagnostic value),if possible,for
positive identification by a spider expert. A plastic bag, small jar, or pill vial is useful and no
preservative is necessary,but rubbing alcohol helps to preserve the spider. A hospital stay may be
recommended,particularly for those with a heart condition or with health problems. A physician may
administer a specific antivenin to counteract the venom or calcium gluconate to relieve pain. Calcium
gluconate and/or antivenin may be administered to relieve or counteract symptoms.
32

2.3.14 Ticks
Every year employees are exposed to tick bites at work and at home putting them at risk of illness. Ticks
typically are in wooded areas,bushes, tall grass,and brush. Ticks are black,black and red,or brown
and can be up to one-quarter inch in size.
In some geographic areas exposure is not easily avoided. Wear tightly woven light-colored clothing
with long sleeves and pant legs tucked into boots; spray only outside of clothing with permethrin or
permanone and spray skin with only DEET; and check yourself frequently for ticks.
Where site conditions warrant (vegetation above knee height,tick endemic area) or when tasks warrant
(e.g.,having to sit/kneel in vegetation) that diminish the effectiveness of the other controls mentioned
above,bug-out suits (obtained from MKE warehouse)/Tyvek shall be used. Bug-out suits are more
breathable than Tyvek.
Take precautions to avoid exposure by including pre-planning measures for biological hazards prior to
starting field work. Contact the MKE Warehouse for preventative equipment such as repellants,
protective clothing and tick removal kits. Use the buddy system and perform tick inspections prior to
entering the field vehicle. If ticks were not planned to be encountered and are observed, do not
continue field work until these controls can be implemented.
See Tick Fact Sheet attached to this HSP for further precautions and controls to implement when ticks
are present. Information includes the procedure for submitting a removed tick for testing. If bitten by a
tick,follow the removal procedures found in the tick fact sheet,call the occupational nurse at 1-866-893-
2514.
Be aware of the symptoms of Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF). Lyme: a rash
might appear that looks like a bullseye with a small welt in the center. RMSF: a rash of red spots under
the skin 3 to 10 days after the tick bite. In both RMSF and Lyme disease,chills,fever,headache,fatigue,
stiff neck,and bone pain may develop. If symptoms appear,again contact the occupational nurse at 1-
866-893-2514.
Be sure to complete an Incident Report (either use the HITS system on the VO) or see Attachment 8 if
you do come in contact with a tick. For more detailed information go to HSSE website or contact the
RHSM.

3.0 Project Organization and Personnel
3.1 CH2M HILL Employee Medical Surveillance and Training
(Reference CH2M HILL-SOPs HSE-113,Medical Surveillance,and HSE-110, Training)
3.1.1 Hazardous Waste Operations Training
All employees engaging in hazardous waste operations or emergency response shall receive appropriate
training as required by 29 CFR 1910.120 and 29 CFR 1926.65. At a minimum,the training shall have
consisted of instruction in the topics outlined in the 29 CFR 1910.120 and 29 CFR 1926.65. Personnel
who have not met these training requirements shall not be allowed to engage in hazardous waste
operations or emergency response activities.
3.1.1.1 Initial Training
General site workers engaged in hazardous waste operations shall, at the time of job assignment,have
received a minimum of 40 hours of initial health and safety training for hazardous waste site operations,
unless otherwise noted in the above-referenced standards.
Employees who may be exposed to health hazards or hazardous substances at treatment, storage,and
disposal (TSD) operations shall receive a minimum of 24 hours of initial training to enable the employee
to perform their assigned duties and functions in a safe and healthful manner.
Employees engaged in emergency response operations shall be trained to the level of required

The subcontractors listed above are required to submit their own Site-Specific HSP. Other plans,such as
Lead or Asbestos Abatement Compliance plans may be required as well. Subcontractors are responsible
for the health and safety procedures specific to their work, and are required to submit their plans to
CH2M HILL for review before the start of field work.
Subcontractors are also required to prepare an Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) before beginning each
activity posing H&S hazards to their personnel using the AHA form provided in Attachment 5 as a
guide. The AHA shall identify the principle steps of the activity,potential H&S hazards for each step
and recommended control measures for each identified hazard. In addition,a listing of the equipment
to be used to perform the activity,inspection requirements and training requirements for the safe
operation of the equipment listed must be identified.
38

CH2M HILL should continuously endeavor to observe subcontractors' safety performance and
adherence to their Accident Prevention Plan and AHAs. This endeavor should be reasonable,and
include observing for hazards or unsafe practices that are both readily observable and occur in common
work areas. CH2M HILL is not responsible for exhaustive observation for hazards and unsafe practices.
Self-assessment checklists contained in Attachment 4 are to be used by CH2M HILL personnel to review
subcontractor performance. CH2M HILL oversight does not relieve subcontractors of their
responsibility for effective implementation and compliance with the established plan(s).
Health and safety related communications with CH2M HILL subcontractors should be conducted as
follows:
• Brief subcontractors on the provisions of this plan, and require them to sign the Employee Signoff
Form included in Attachment 1.
• Request subcontractor(s) to brief project team on the hazards and precautions related to their work.
• When apparent non-compliance/unsafe conditions or practices are observed,notify the
subcontractor safety representative and require corrective action-the subcontractor is responsible
for determining and implementing necessary controls and corrective actions.
• When repeat non-compliance/unsafe conditions are observed,notify the subcontractor safety
representative and stop affected work until adequate corrective measures are implemented.
• When an apparent imminent danger exists,immediately remove all affected CH2M HILL employees
and subcontractors,notify subcontractor safety representative, and stop affected work until
adequate corrective measures are implemented. Notify the PM and RHSM as appropriate.
• Document all oral health and safety related communications in project field logbook, daily reports,
or other records.

6.0 Spill Containment Procedures
Sorbent material will be maintained in the support zone. Incidental spills will be contained with sorbent
and disposed of properly. A separate Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan(SPCC) is
provided as Appendix C.
47

7.0 Site-Control Plan
7.1 Site-Control Procedures
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-218,Hazardous Waste Operations)
• The SC will conduct a site safety briefing (see below)before starting field activities or as tasks and
site conditions change.
• Topics for briefing on site safety: general discussion of Health and Safety Plan,site-specific hazards,
locations of work zones,PPE requirements,equipment, special procedures,emergencies.
• The SC records attendance at safety briefings in a logbook and documents the topics discussed.
• Post the OSHA job-site poster in a central and conspicuous location in accordance with CH2M
HILL-Core Standard, OSHA Postings.
• Establish support, decontamination, and exclusion zones. Delineate with flags or cones as
appropriate. Support zone should be upwind of the site.Use access control at entry and exit from
each work zone.
• Establish onsite communication consisting of the following:
Line-of-sight and hand signals
Air horn
Two-way radio or cellular telephone if available
• Establish offsite communication.
• Establish and maintain the"buddy system."
• Initial air monitoring is conducted by the SC in appropriate level of protection.
• The SC is to conduct periodic inspections of work practices to determine the effectiveness of this
plan-refer to Sections 2 and 3. Deficiencies are to be noted,reported to the HSM, and corrected.
7.2 Hazwoper Compliance Plan
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-220,Written Plans and HSE-218 Hazardous Waste Operations)
Certain parts of the site work are covered by state or federal Hazwoper standards and therefore require
training and medical monitoring. Anticipated Hazwoper tasks (Section 1.1.1) might occur
consecutively or concurrently with respect to non-Hazwoper tasks. This section outlines procedures to
be followed when approved activities specified in Section 1.1.2 do not require 24-or 40-hour training.
Non-Hazwoper-trained personnel also must be trained in accordance with all other state and federal
OSHA requirements.
• In many cases,air sampling,in addition to real-time monitoring,must confirm that there is no
exposure to gases or vapors before non-Hazwoper-trained personnel are allowed on the site,or
while non-Hazwoper-trained staff is working in proximity to Hazwoper activities. Other data (e.g.,
soil) also must document that there is no potential for exposure. The RHSM must approve the
interpretation of these data. Refer to Sections 2.0 and 5.0 for contaminant data and air sampling
requirements,respectively.
• When non-Hazwoper-trained personnel are at risk of exposure,the SC must post the exclusion zone
and inform non-Hazwoper-trained personnel of the:
nature of the existing contamination and its locations
limitations of their access
48

emergency action plan for the site
• Periodic air monitoring with direct-reading instruments conducted during regulated tasks also
should be used to ensure that non-Hazwoper-trained personnel (e.g.,in an adjacent area) are not
exposed to airborne contaminants.
• When exposure is possible,non-Hazwoper-trained personnel must be removed from the site until it
can be demonstrated that there is no longer a potential for exposure to health and safety hazards.
• Remediation treatment system start-ups: Once a treatment system begins to pump and treat
contaminated media, the site is,for the purposes of applying the Hazwoper standard,considered a
treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSDF). Therefore, once the system begins operation,only
Hazwoper-trained personnel (minimum of 24 hour of training)will be permitted to enter the site.
All non-Hazwoper-trained personnel must not enter the TSDF area of the site.
49

8.0 Emergency Response Plan
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-106,Emergency Planning)
8.1 Pre-Emergency Planning
• The Emergency Response Coordinator (ERC) performs the applicable pre-emergency planning
tasks before starting field activities and coordinates emergency response with CH2M HILL
onsite parties,the facility, and local emergency-service providers as appropriate.
• Review the facility emergency and contingency plans where applicable.
• Determine what onsite communication equipment is available (e.g., two-way radio,air horn).
• Determine what offsite communication equipment is needed (e.g.,nearest telephone,cell
phone).
• Confirm and post emergency telephone numbers,evacuation routes,assembly areas,and route
to hospital;communicate the information to onsite personnel.
• Field Trailers: Post"Exit" signs above exit doors,and post"Fire Extinguisher' signs above
locations of extinguishers. Keep areas near exits and extinguishers clear.
• Review changed site conditions, onsite operations,and personnel availability in relation to
emergency response procedures.
• Where appropriate and acceptable to the client,inform emergency room and ambulance and
emergency response teams of anticipated types of site emergencies.
• Designate one vehicle as the emergency vehicle;place hospital directions and map inside;keep
keys in ignition during field activities.
• Inventory and check site emergency equipment, supplies, and potable water.
• Communicate emergency procedures for personnel injury, exposures,fires,explosions, and
releases.
• Rehearse the emergency response plan before site activities begin,including driving route to
hospital. Drills should take place periodically but no less than once a year.
• Brief new workers on the emergency response plan.
• The ERC will evaluate emergency response actions and initiate appropriate follow-up actions.
8.2 Emergency Equipment and Supplies
The ERC should mark the locations of emergency equipment on the site map and post the map.

9.0 Behavior Based Loss Prevention System
(Reference CH2M HILL SOP HSE-103,Behavior Based Loss Prevention System)
A Behavior Based Loss Prevention System (BBLPS) is a system to prevent or reduce losses using
behavior-based tools and proven management techniques to focus on behaviors or acts that could lead
to losses.
The four basic Loss Prevention tools that will be used by CH2M HILL projects to implement the BBLPS
include:
• Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA)
• Pre-Task Safety Plans (PTSP)
• Safe Behavior Observations (SBO)
• Loss and Near Loss Investigations (NLI)
The SC or designated CH2M HILL representative onsite is responsible for implementing the BBLPS on
the project site. The Project Manager remains accountable for its implementation. The SC or designee
shall only oversee the subcontractor's implementation of their AHAs and PTSPs processes on the
project.
9.1 Activity Hazard Analysis
An Activity Hazard Analysis (AHA) defines the activity being performed,the hazards posed and
control measures required to perform the work safely. Workers are briefed on the AHA before doing
the work and their input is solicited prior, during and after the performance of work to further identify
the hazards posed and control measures required.
Activity Hazard Analysis will be prepared before beginning each project activity posing H&S hazards to
project personnel using the AHA form provided in Attachment 5. The AHA shall identify the work
tasks required to perform each activity, along with potential H&S hazards and recommended control
measures for each work task. In addition, a listing of the equipment to be used to perform the activity,
inspection requirements and training requirements for the safe operation of the equipment listed must
be identified.
An AHA shall be prepared for all field activities performed by CH2M HILL and subcontractor activities
during the course of the project. Hazard Controls (found in Sections 2.0 and its subsections of the HSP),
the Hazard Analysis Table (Table 1), and applicable CH2M HILL CSs and SOPs should be used as a
basis for preparing AHAs.
CH2M HILL subcontractors are required to provide AHAs specific to their scope of work on the project
for acceptance by CH2M HILL. Each subcontractor shall submit AHAs for their field activities, as
defined in their work plan/scope of work,along with their project-specific safety plan/accident
prevention plan. Additions or changes in CH2M HILL or subcontractor field activities,equipment,tools
or material to perform work or additional/different hazard encountered that require
additional/different hazard control measures requires either a new AHA to be prepared or an existing
AHA to be revised.
9.2 Pre-Task Safety Plans
Daily safety meetings are held with all project personnel in attendance to review the hazards posed and
required H&S procedures/AHAs,which apply for each day's project activities. The PTSPs serve the
same purpose as these general assembly safety meetings,but the PTSPs are held between the crew
55

supervisor and their work crews to focus on those hazards posed to individual work crews. At the start
of each day's activities,the crew supervisor completes the PTSP,provided in Attachment 5,with input
from the work crew, during their daily safety meeting. The day's tasks,personnel,tools and equipment
that will be used to perform these tasks are listed, along with the hazards posed and required H&S
procedures, as identified in the AHA. The use of PTSPs,better promotes worker participation in the
hazard recognition and control process,while reinforcing the task-specific hazard and required H&S
procedures with the crew each day. The use of PTSPs is a common safety practice in the construction
industry.
9.3 Safe Behavior Observations
Safe Behavior Observations (SBOs) shall be conducted by SC or designee for specific work tasks or
operations comparing the actual work process against established safe work procedures identified in the
project-specific HSP and AHAs. SBOs are a tool to be used by supervisors to provide positive
reinforcement for work practices performed correctly,while also identifying and eliminating deviations
from safe work procedures that could result in a loss. The SC or designee shall perform at least one SBO
each week for tasks/operations addressed in the project-specific HSP or AHA. The SC or designee shall
complete the SBO form in Attachment 5 for the task/operation being observed and submit the SBO
form weekly to Margaret Dombrowski/MKE.
9.4 Loss/Near Loss Investigations
Loss/Near Loss Investigations shall be performed for CH2M HILL and subcontractor incidents
involving:
• Person injuries/illnesses and near miss injuries,
• Equipment/property damage,
• Spills,leaks,regulatory violations,
• Motor vehicle accidents.
The cause of loss and near loss incidents are similar,so by identifying and correcting the causes of near
loss causes,future loss incidents may be prevented. The following is the Loss/Near Loss Investigation
Process:
• Gather all relevant facts,focusing on fact-finding,not fault-finding,while answering the who,what,
when,where and how questions.
• Draw conclusions,pitting facts together into a probable scenario.
• Determine incident root cause(s),which are basic causes on why an unsafe act/condition existed.
• Develop and implement solutions,matching all identified root causes with solutions.
• Communicate incident as a Lesson Learned to all project personnel.
• Filed follow-up on implemented corrective active action to confirm solution is appropriate.
The SC or designee shall perform an incident investigation, as soon as practical after incident occurrence
during the day of the incident,for all Loss and Near Loss Incidents that occur on the project. Loss and
Near Loss incident investigations shall be performed using the following incident investigation forms
provided in Attachment 5.
• Incident Report Form (IRF)
• Root Cause Analysis Form
56

All Loss and Near Loss incident involving personal injury,property damage in excess of$1,000 or near
loss incidents that could have resulted in serious consequences shall be investigated by completing the
incident investigation forms and submitting them to the PM and RHSM within 24 hours of incident
occurrence. A preliminary Incident Investigation and Root Cause Analysis shall be submitted to the
Project Manager and RHSM within 24 hours of incident occurs. The final Incident Investigation and
Root Cause Analysis shall be submitted after completing a comprehensive investigation of the incident.

Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:
Potential Health Effects:
Skin:May cause skin irritation.
Eyes:Causes eye irritation.
Inhalation:May cause respiratory tract irritation.Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath.
Ingestion:Phosphates are slowly and incompletely absorbed when ingested,and seldom result in systemic
effects.However,such effects have occurred. May cause gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea,vomiting,
and diarrhea. May affect behavior/central nervous system/peripherial nervous system(somnolence,convulsions,
lethargy,flaccid paralysis),urinary system(kidneys-renal failure,acute tubular necrosis). It may also cause heart
disturbances(fall in blood pressure,slow pulse)and blood chemistry effects(reduction of serum level of calcium).
The toxicity of phosphates is because of their ability to sequester calcium.Systemic metabolic acidosis may
result as this material is believed to be hydrolyzed to ortho phosphates when ingested(before absorption).Tetany
may also occur as a result of reduction in serum level of ionic calcium.

Tick Fact Sheet

Tick-Borne Pathogens — A Fact Sheet
Most of us have heard of Lyme disease or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever(RMSF), but there are
actually six notifiable tick-borne pathogens that present a significant field hazard. In some areas, these
account for more than half of our serious field incidents. The following procedures should be applied
during any field activity—even in places that are predominantly paved with bordering vegetation.
Hazard Recognition
An important step in controlling tick related hazards is understanding how to identify ticks, their
habitats, their geographical locations, and signs and symptoms of tick-borne illnesses.
Tick Identification
There are five varieties of hard-bodied ticks that have been associated with tick-borne pathogens. These
include:
• Deer(Black Legged) Tick(eastern and pacific varieties)
• Lone Star Tick
• Dog Tick
• Rocky Mountain Wood Tick
These varieties and their geographical locations are illustrated on the following page.
Tick Habitat
In eastern states, ticks are associated with deciduous forest and habitat containing leaf litter. Leaf litter
provides a moist cover from wind, snow, and other elements. In the north-central states, is generally
found in heavily wooded areas often surrounded by broad tracts of land cleared for agriculture.
On the Pacific Coast, the bacteria are transmitted to humans by the western black-legged(deer) tick and
habitats are more diverse. For this region, ticks have been found in habitats with forest, north coastal
scrub, high brush, and open grasslands. Coastal tick populations thrive in areas of high rainfall, but ticks
are also found at inland locations.
Illnesses and Signs & Symptoms
There are six notifiable tick-borne pathogens that cause human illness in the United States. These
pathogens may be transmitted during a tick bite—normally hours after attachment. The illnesses,
presented in approximate order of most common to least, include:
• Lyme (bacteria)
• RMSF (bacteria)
• Ehrlichiosis (bacteria)
• STARI (Southern Tick-Associated Rash Illness) (bacteria)
• Tularemia(Rabbit Fever) (bacteria)
• Babesia (protozoan parasite)
Symptoms will vary based on the illness, and may develop in infected individuals typically between 3
and 30 days after transmission. Some infected individuals will not become ill or may develop only mild
symptoms. These illnesses present with some or all of the following signs & symptoms: fever, headache,
muscle aches, stiff neck,joint aches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, malaise, weakness,
small solid, ring-like, or spotted rashes. The bite site may be red, swollen, or develop ulceration or
lesions. For Lyme disease, the bite area will sometimes resemble a target pattern. A variety of long-term
symptoms may result if the illness is left untreated, including debilitating effects and death.

Hazard Control
The methods for controlling exposure to ticks include, in order of most-to least-preferred:
• Avoiding tick habitats and ceasing operations in heavily infested areas
• Reducing tick abundance through habitat disruption or application of acracide
• Personal protection through use of repellants and protective clothing
• Frequent tick inspections and proper hygiene
Vaccinations are not available and preventative antibiotic treatment after a bite is generally not
recommended.
Avoidance and Reduction of Ticks
To the extent practical, tick habitats should be avoided. In areas with significant tick infestation,
consider stopping work and withdrawing from area until adequate tick population control can be
achieved. Stopping and withdrawing should be considered as seriously as entering an area without
proper energy control or with elevated airborne contaminants—tick-borne pathogens present risk of
serious illness!
In areas where significant population density or infestation exists, tick reduction should be
considered. Tick reduction can be achieved by disrupting tick habitats and/or direct population
reduction through the use of tick-toxic pesticides (Damminix, Dursban, Sevin, etc.).
Habitat disruption may include only simple vegetative maintenance such as removing leaf litter and
trimming grass and brush. Tick populations can be reduced by between 72 and 100 percent when
leaf litter alone is removed. In more heavily infested areas, habitat disruption may include grubbing,
tree trimming or removal, and pesticide application(Damminix, Dursban, Sevin, etc.). This
approach is practical in smaller, localized areas or perimeter areas that require occasional access.
Habitat controls are to be implemented with appropriate health and safety controls, in compliance
with applicable environmental requirements, and may be best left to the property owner or tenant or
to a licensed pesticide vendor. Caution should be exercised when using chemical repellents or
pesticides in or around areas where environmental or industrial media samples will be collected for
analysis.
Personal Protection
After other prevention and controls are implemented,personal protection is still necessary to control
exposure to ticks. Personal protection must include all of the following steps:
• Where site conditions warrant (vegetation above knee height,tick endemic area) or when tasks
warrant (e.g.,having to sit/kneel in vegetation) that diminish the effectiveness of the other
controls mentioned above,bug-out suits (obtained from MKE warehouse)/Tyvek shall be
used. Bug-out suits are more breathable than Tyvek.
• So that ticks may be easily seen,wear light-colored clothing. Full-body New Tyvek (paper-like
disposable coveralls) may also be used
• To prevent ticks from getting underneath clothing tuck pant legs into socks or tape to boots
• Wear long-sleeved shirts,a hat, and high boots
• Apply DEET repellent to exposed skin or clothing per product label
• Apply permethrin repellent to the outside of boots and clothing before wearing,per product
label

• Frequently check for ticks and remove from clothing
• At the end of the day, search your entire body for ticks (particularly groin, armpits,neck, and
head) and shower
• To prevent pathogen transmission through mucous membranes or broken/cut skin,wash or
disinfect hands and/or wear surgical-style nitrite gloves any time ticks are handled
Pregnant individuals and individuals using prescription medications should consult with their
physician and/or pharmacists before using chemical repellents. Because human health effects may
not be fully known, use of chemical repellents should be kept to a minimum frequency and quantity.
Always follow manufacturers' use instructions and precautions. Wash hands after handling,
applying, or removing protective gear and clothing. Avoid situations such as hand-to-face contact,
eating, drinking, and smoking when applying or using repellents.
Remove and wash clothes per repellent product label. Chemical repellents should not be used on
infants and children.
Vaccinations are generally not available for tick-borne pathogens. Although production of the
LYMErixTM Lyme disease vaccination has been ceased, vaccination may still be considered under
specific circumstances and with concurrence from the consulting physician.
Tick Check
A tick check should be performed after field survey before entering the field vehicle (you do not
want to infest your field vehicle with ticks). Have your field partner check your back; the backs of
your legs, arms, and neck; and your hairline. Shake off clothing as thorough as possible before
entering the vehicle. Once the field day is complete, repeat this procedure and perform a thorough
self check.
If a tick has embedded itself into the skin, remove the tick as described below.
Tick Removal
1. Use the tick removal kit obtained through the CH2M HILL Milwaukee warehouse, or a fine-
tipped tweezers or shield your fingers with a tissue, paper towel, or nitrile gloves.
Tick Bites\Tick
Remver.pdf
2. Grasp the tick as close to the skin surface as possible and pull upward with steady, even pressure.
Do not twist or jerk the tick; this may cause the mouthparts to break off and remain in the skin. If
this happens, remove mouthparts with tweezers. Consult your healthcare provider if infection
00
100
occurs.
3. Avoid squeezing, crushing or puncturing the body of the tick because its fluids (saliva,
hemolymph, gut contents) may contain infectious organisms. Releasing these organisms to the

outside of the tick's body or into the bite area may increase the chance of infectious organism
transmission.
4. Do not handle the tick with bare hands because infectious agents may enter through mucous
membranes or breaks in the skin. This precaution is particularly directed to individuals who remove
ticks from domestic animals with unprotected fingers. Children, elderly persons, and
immunocompromised persons may be at greater risk of infection and should avoid this procedure.
5. After removing the tick, thoroughly disinfect the bite site and wash your hands with soap and
water.
6. You may wish to save the tick for identification in case you become ill. Your doctor can use the
information to assist in making an accurate diagnosis. Place the tick in a plastic bag and put it in
your freezer. Write the date of the bite on a piece of paper with a pencil and place it in the bag.
Note: Folklore remedies such as petroleum jelly or hot matches do little to encourage a tick to
detach from skin. In fact, they may make matters worse by irritating the tick and stimulating it to
release additional saliva, increasing the chances of transmitting the pathogen. These methods of tick
removal should be avoided. In addition, a number of tick removal devices have been marketed, but
none are better than a plain set of fine tipped tweezers.
First-Aid and Medical Treatment
Tick bites should always be treated with first-aid. Clean and wash hands and disinfect the bite site
after removing embedded tick. Individuals previously infected with Lyme disease does not confer
immunityre-infection from future tick bites can occur even after a person has contracted a tick-
borne disease.
CH2M Hill has a protocol in place for employees who have experienced a tick bite due to work-
related activities, to test all ticks that have been removed from them for the presence of Borrelia
burgdorferi.
The employee should contact the Injury Management/Return To Work provider(IMRTW),
WorkCare using the toll-free number 866-893-2514 to report the tick bite. WorkCare will follow-up
with each CH2M Hill employee who reports a tick bite and is at risk of developing Lyme disease by
monitoring for symptoms up to 45 days, and will refer the employee to a medical provider for
evaluation and treatment as necessary

2.2 Location of SPCC Plan - 112.3(e)
The Plan will be maintained on file in the onsite office structure. It will be available for
onsite review by representatives of the EPA during normal working hours. In addition,
copies of the Plan will be available to everyone responsible for complying with the Plan.
2.3 Plan Review— 112.4 and 112.5
This plan will be amended for any of the following reasons:
1. When required by the EPA Regional Administrator (40 CFR 112). NOTE: EPA must
notify the facility operator by certified mail or personal delivery to the facility owner or
operator regarding proposed amendments. Within 30 days from receipt of notice,the
facility can submit information,views,and arguments on the proposed amendments.
After considering all relevant material presented,the Regional Administrator again will
notify the facility of the EPA decision. Amendments required by the Regional
Administrator shall become part of this Oil SPCC Plan 30 days after such notice,unless
otherwise specified by the Regional Administrator. The amendments will be
implemented as soon as possible. The facility can appeal that decision to the
Administrator of EPA. The appeal must be submitted in writing within 30 days of the
receipt of notice. The Administrator, or his designee,will render a decision within
60 days of receiving the appeal and will notify the owner or operator of his decision.
Required amendments must be implemented as soon as possible,but not later than
6 months after the change occurs.
2. Amendments are required whenever there is a change in facility design,construction,
operations, or maintenance that materially affects the potential for a discharge of oil into
or upon the navigable waters of the United States [40 CFR 112.5(a)]. Such amendments
must be implemented as soon as possible,but not later than 6 months after the change
occurs.
3. The owner or operator is required by law to review and evaluate this Oil SPCC Plan at
least once every 5 years. An amendment is required if the review indicates that more
effective control and prevention technology will significantly reduce the likelihood of a
spill event and if such technology has been field proven at the time of review. Such
amendments must be implemented as soon as possible,but not later than 6 months after
the change occurs.
A Professional Engineer must certify technical amendments.
2.4 Qualified Facilities Plan- 112.6

3. Facility Description - 112.7(a)(3)
Since Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune currently stores more than 1,320 gallons of oil,the
facility has already prepared and maintains an SPCC Plan. This Plan is intended to act as a
temporary amendment to the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune SPCC Plan to specifically
cover the remediation activities to be conducted as described below. The activities covered
under this Plan are the responsibility of a Subcontractor (CH2M HILL), and therefore the
Subcontractor is responsible for compliance with its contents and the regulations.
3.1 Location and Site Description
Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (MCB CamLej) is a 236-square-mile United States military
training facility in the southern portion of Onslow County in North Carolina,bordering the
Atlantic Ocean. MCB CamLej includes 14 miles of beach capable of supporting amphibious
operations. The Base is bounded to the southeast by the Atlantic Ocean and to the northeast
by State Route 24. The town of Jacksonville,North Carolina is located north of the Base.
There are 54 live-fire ranges,89 maneuver areas,33 gun positions,25 tactical landing zones
and a state of the art Military Operations in Urban Terrain training facility. Military forces
from around the world come to Camp Lejeune on a regular basis for bilateral and NATO-
sponsored exercises.
Site 88 is located at the Base dry cleaners (former Building 25) within a densely populated
area of MCB CamLej Barracks, office buildings, and other occupied structures are located
adjacent to Building 25. Underground storage tanks were installed in the 1940s and were
used to store Varsol, an early dry cleaning chemical. Tetrachloroethene replaced Varsol in
the 1970s and was stored in an aboveground storage tank. In the mid-1980s, the AST was
taken out of service. The USTs were removed between November 1995 and January 1996.
Soil and groundwater beneath the site have been impacted by historical solvent releases and
isolated areas of free phase dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) exist beneath
Building 25 and areas immediately north of the building.
In general,the chlorinated volatile organic compound (VOC) plume at Site 88 extends from
the former location of Building 25 to approximately 1600 ft west of the site. The plume also
extends approximately 800 ft from north to south,near the source area. This plume appears
to be migrating west,primarily within the intermediate zone and,to a lesser extent,in the
deep zone,which also has a flow component to the northeast.
Figure 1 shows the site plan, showing the material staging area and the injection wells.
3.2 Activity Description
A polymer-enhanced permanganate solution that will be used during remediation activities
will be stored at Site 88 during periods of active injection, approximately 20 days in length.
Materials to be used include the oxidant (potassium permanganate),polymer (xanthan
gum), and dispersant aid (SHMP). Quantities on site during each injection event are not
3-1

expected to exceed 3,900 gallons.The injection solution will be introduced into the
subsurface though injection wells. Table 1 provides the tank schedule.

5. Spill Potential — 112.7(b)
Experience indicates that the potential for tank failure (such as overflow,rupture, or
leakage) is reduced during the remediation activities due to the following:
1. Containers are constructed of materials that are compatible with the material stored in
the tank.
2. Containers,pumps,valves,and piping are inspected at the start of each day.
3. Spill response materials will be onsite during remediation activities.
4. Materials are not stored at or above ambient temperature or pressure.
Spill quantities,flow rates,and spill flow directions for potential spill scenarios are
provided in Table 3.

6. Containment and Diversionary Structures
— 112.7(c)
The following preventive systems are used at the facility to prevent a discharge of oil from
reaching a navigable water course:
6.1 onshore facilities - 112.7(c)(1)
Secondary containment is required for the containers listed in Table 1. Secondary
containment will be provided by portable spill pallets, a lined and bermed area, or other
impervious containment that has sufficient volume to hold the volume of largest single
container within that area plus the precipitation accumulation from a 24-hour/25-year storm
event(8.6 inches).
6.2 Onshore facilities - 112.7(c)(2)
No offshore facilities are located at this site.
6-1

7. Contingency Planning - 112.7(d)
As described in Section 6 of this document, appropriate secondary containment structures
will be used to prevent discharged oil from reaching a navigable watercourse,as required
by 40 CFR 112.7(c). Therefore,no contingency plan is required. Section 4 of this document
contains the spill response procedures.
7-1

8. Inspections , Tests , and Records - 112.7(e)
This inspection program plan is intended to provide a mechanism to prevent and detect
system malfunctions, equipment deterioration, and operator errors. The inspection program
is designed to provide an early warning of the potential for such events in order that
corrective and preventive actions may be taken in a timely manner.
The inspection program focuses on site security, safety,equipment,emergency equipment,
and environmental monitoring systems. The inspection program is implemented by
qualified and trained individuals assigned the responsibility to detect any unsafe conditions
at the facility and prevent adverse consequences. The designated individuals have the
training and authority to:
(1) Implement the required inspection;
(2) Perform necessary evaluations and hazard assessments;and
(3) Recommend appropriate corrective or remedial actions.
The inspection is performed according to a predetermined schedule based on engineering
knowledge and operational experience with the systems and processes involved. Each
inspection item has the content and frequency necessary to alert facility personnel prior to
development of a serious problem. The CH2M HILL Project Manager will evaluate and
assess each item indicating a potential deficiency,malfunctions, equipment deterioration, or
operator error through regular observation of the process and procedures. The level of
response and its timing is determined by the nature and seriousness of the problem
identified-with protection of personnel and the prevention of adverse environmental
impact being paramount concerns.
The CH2M HILL Project Manager is fully responsible for implementation of the inspection
program as well as directing the required remedial and corrective measures.
Inspections and re-inspections are conducted and documented in accordance with the
Inspection Checklist (Appendix A). Daily inspections are performed on normal operating
days. These inspections are documented, see the form in Appendix A. If deficiencies are
noted the CH2M HILL Project Manager is notified and appropriate action is taken.
The routine inspection encompasses the injection site area and staging area(s) and those
items within those areas. The routine inspection activities include,but are not limited to,the
following:
• Security devices;
• Remediation equipment such as tanks,piping,pumps,and valves;
• Environmental monitoring systems,including containment structures;and
• Safety and emergency equipment.
The assessment of the inspector,including notations of the urgency of the required
response,are included on the form. Completed inspection logs are given to the CH2M HILL
Project Manager or his designee,who then takes action as necessary to ensure completion of
8-1

required remedial actions. The CH2M HILL Project Manager signs each completed form
confirming his knowledge of the inspection results.
The general inspection schedules,including inspection parameters and frequency,are
determined by the types of problems that can potentially occur.They are based on the
operational mode of the facility, the potential failure modes, and an assessment of the
hazard magnitude posed by a particular malfunction,failure, or discrepancy.Since the
remediation activities are temporary and expected to last approximately 20 days, daily
inspections only will be performed.
Completed forms and attachments are accumulated and filed with the SPCC Plan. These are
retained at the facility for a minimum period of 3 years from the date of inspection.
In summary,the CH2M HILL Project Manager, or delegated representative, observes
remediation operations and equipment on a periodic basis in accordance with a specified
schedule and inspection elements. When any discrepancy is noted,corrective actions are
taken by appropriate personnel.
8-2

9. Personnel, Training, and Discharge
Prevention Procedures - 112.7(o
9.1 Personnel Training
Personnel responsible for handling or dispensing of oil products will participate in a spill
prevention and control training program prior. All employees participate in reviews and
updates of spill prevention and control procedures at least annually.
CH2M HILL personnel are trained in the general orientation and operation of the
remediation equipment. A training program related to the specific duties of each job
function is specifically tailored for the position. In addition,every employee will participate
in continuing training to maintain proficiency,to learn new techniques and procedures, and
to reinforce safety and quality consciousness. An example outline of the training program is
as follows:
• SPCC background and plan contents
• Equipment maintenance and operation
• Spill flow paths
• Spill response procedures
• Notification procedures
9.2 Emergency Coordinator
The CH2M HILL Project Manager is the designated emergency coordinator for the site,and
is responsible for spill prevention and control, directing response to any site emergency,and
for reporting oil spills to the appropriate officials. A list of contacts,as may be required
during an emergency,is provided in Section 4.
9.3 Spill Prevention Briefings
This project will use daily safety meetings as a forum to assure safety at the remediation site.
Discharge prevention briefings will be held on an annual basis to assure adequate
understanding of SPCC procedures for this facility. This will be documented in the field log
book.
9-1

10. Security - 112.7(g)
10.1 Access Control
MCB CamLej is an access-controlled facility. It is fully fenced with guarded gates. Within
the Base,there is free access to most places,however Security Police patrol 24 hours per day.
To further minimize unauthorized use,injection piping is disconnected from the pumps and
containers when injections are not actively occurring.
10.2 Flow Drains and Valves
There are no flow drains or valves from the secondary containment areas.
10.3 Pump Starter Control
Injection pumps are operated using a gas-powered generator. The pumps are disconnected
from the power source, as well as the injection piping when injections are not actively
occurring.
10.4 Connections to Pipelines
There are no oil delivery pipelines at the facility.
10.5 Facility Lighting
Temporary lighting will be provided in the injection area during periods of active
remediation to allow for spill detection and the prevention and discovery of vandalism.
10-1

11 . Facility Tank Truck Loading/Unloading
Areas - 112.7(h)
Tanker trucks and loading/unloading racks are not used for the remediation activities
covered under this Plan, and as such, this section is not applicable.
11-1

12. Brittle Fracture Evaluation — 112.7(i)
This section applies only to field-constructed aboveground containers,which are defined as
containers that are assembled or reassembled outside the factory at the location of its
intended use. Field-constructed containers are not expected to be used during this project. If
a field-constructed aboveground container undergoes repair, alteration,reconstruction, or
change in service that might affect the risk of a discharge or failure due to brittle fracture or
other catastrophe, or has discharged oil or failed due to brittle fracture or other catastrophe,
the container will be evaluated for the risk of discharge or failure due to brittle fracture or
catastrophe, and appropriate action will be taken,as necessary.
12-1

13. Conformance — 112.70)
This plan is in conformance with the applicable requirements of 40 CFR 112.
North Carolina has no additional requirements for aboveground storage tanks or additional
SPCC requirements.
A spill is reportable if it:
• is equal to or greater than 25 gallons for petroleum products,
• is a spill of a hazardous substance above the reportable quantity listed in 40 CFR 302.4,
• causes a sheen on nearby surface water (including streams,rivers, storm sewers, and
drainage ditches),
• is 100 feet or less from a surface water body, or
• cannot be cleaned up within 24 hours of the discharge
13-1

14. Design and operating Practice to Prevent
Spills -112.8
14.1 General Requirements — 112.8(a)
This Plan meets the general requirements listed under 40 CFR 112.7 and the specific
discharge prevention and containment procedures listed under 40 CFR 112.8.
14.2 Facility Drainage - 112. 8(b)
Stormwater from within the containment area is generally allowed to pond and evaporate.
If accumulation becomes too deep within the containment areas, stormwater may be
pumped onto the ground if inspected by for a sheen first. If there is a sheen, a water
handling contractor may be hired to pump stormwater into a tanker truck to recover the
material and sent to a publicly owned treatment works if the water quality meets their
criteria.
Site 88 has nearby storm drains. These storm drains discharge through a series of culverts
and piping to the New River,a tributary to the Atlantic Ocean. Surface water drainage
patterns for Site 88 and staging areas are shown on Figure 1.
14.3 Bulk Storage Tanks - 112. 8(c)
14.3.1 Compatibility of Tanks and Product Stored
Tanks are compatible with the material they hold and the environmental conditions to
which they can reasonably be expected to be subjected. None of the tanks is used to store
material at greater than atmospheric temperature or pressure.
14.3.2 Secondary Containment
Secondary containment is required for the containers. . Secondary containment will be
provided by portable spill pallets,a lined and bermed area,or other impervious
containment that has sufficient volume to hold the volume of largest single container within
that area plus the precipitation accumulation from a 24-hour/25-year storm event (8.6
inches).
During the injections,personnel will be in proximity to the trailer and will be able to
provide immediately leak/spill detection and response. Diversionary structures will be
used for the trailer to contain leaks and spills while the response activities commence as
described in Section 4.
14.3.3 Draining Containment Area of Rainwater
Rainwater from within the containment areas is usually allowed to evaporate. If it is
required that rainwater be removed from a containment area,the water will be visually
inspected for signs of oil contamination. If none exists,the water will be discharged to the
14-1

ground surface either manually or by pumping. If oil contamination does exist,water will
be containerized and disposed off-site to a proper disposal facility.
14.3.4 Buried Atallic Storage Tanks
No buried storage tanks will be used during the remediation activities.
14.3.5 Partially Buried Atallic Storage Tanks
No partially buried storage tanks will be used during the remediation activities.
14.3.6 Periodic Integrity Testing 112.8(c)(6)
Each aboveground container must be tested for integrity on a regular schedule and
whenever material repairs are made. Integrity testing is not required for certain smaller
shop-built tanks. As allowed in the preamble to 40 CFR 112, shop built tanks used for oil
storage need not be tested provided they meet the following requirements: 1.) minimal risk
of failure due to internal corrosion;2.) inspected at least monthly; and,3.) all sides must be
visible,i.e.,container has no contact with the ground.
All records will be kept with the SPCC Plan. The visual inspection will include:
• Inspect outside of container for signs of deterioration
• Signs of discharge
• Accumulation of water or oil inside containment area
Since all containers to be used during this project are shop-built,are less than 30,000 gallons,
will be inspected on all sides daily, and internal corrosion poses minimal risk since these
liquid-filled containers are plastic,these containers will not be integrity tested according to
industry standards and monthly visual inspection will suffice. These containers must be
stored so that all sides are visible and not in contact with the ground and sufficient
secondary containment is provided.
14.3.7 Internal Heating Coils
There are no internal heating coils built into the containers used during this project.
14.3.8 Fail-Safe Engineering
The possibility of a significant discharge is reduced by the following equipment/
procedures:
• Regular inspections of tanks and auxiliary equipment;
• Containers are located such that they are within close view of the operations conducted
in the area;
• Containers are constructed of materials compatible with the respective contents of each.
• No containers store products at elevated temperature or pressure.
14.3.9 Effluents Discharged into Navigable Waters
There will be no effluents that discharge to navigable waters or the tributaries thereof.
14-2

14.3.10 Correction of Tank Deficiencies
If,by routine inspection or otherwise,it is determined that the integrity of the containers or
auxiliary equipment is or may have been compromised,the system will immediately be
taken out of service (i.e.,the material transferred out of the tank),the problem evaluated,
and appropriate steps taken to correct deficiencies.
14.3.11 1Vbbile/Portable Oil Storage Tank
Secondary containment is required for the containers. Secondary containment will be
provided by portable spill pallets,a lined and bermed area,or other impervious
containment that has sufficient volume to hold the volume of largest single container within
that area plus the precipitation accumulation from a 24-hour/25-year storm event (8.6
inches).
In the event of a release, diversionary structures will be used for the area to contain leaks
and spills while the response activities commence as described in Section 4.
14.4 Facility Transfer Operations, Pumping and In-Plant
Process - 112. 8(d)
14.4.1 Buried Piping Installations
No buried piping will be used for the transport of petroleum product during remediation
activities.
14.4.2 Out-of-Service Piping
There is no abandoned or out-of-service oil piping present during remediation activities.
14.4.3 Piping Support Design
Oil piping supports are not utilized during remediation activities.
14.4.4 Inspection of Aboveground Valves and Pipelines
Oil valves,fittings, and aboveground pipelines are routinely inspected and are monitored
during product transfers.
14.4.5 Potential for Damage to Aboveground Piping
Injection piping will be run aboveground from the mix tank to the injection well. Traffic
protection will be provided to prevent vehicles from damaging the piping.
