INTRODUCTION
1.1
Objective
The objective of this Phase IV Remedy Implementation (RIP) is to address the
Massachusetts Contingency Plan (MCP) requirements under 310 CMR 40.0870 for
the implementation of the selected remedial alternative. This Phase IV RIP addresses
pertinent conditions at Northbridge Department of Public Works (DPW) Facility
("the Site"), located at 11 Fletcher Street, Northbridge, Massachusetts toward
development of a remedial design; development of operation, maintenance, and
monitoring plans; and identification of other contingencies for the implementation of
the selected remedial action. The selected remedial action for the site includes the
installation of a bituminous concrete pavement cap over the impacted areas and the
placement and activity and use limitation (AUL). The selected remedy described in
this report is designed to address the petroleum contamination detected in surface and
subsurface soil at the site.
An original Comprehensive Response Action Transmittal Form (BWSC-108)
accompanies this submittal. A copy of form BWSC-108 is included as Appendix A.
1.2
Site Background
The current owner of the property is the Town of Northbridge. According to the
Town Assessor's Office, the Town of Northbridge has owned and operated the
property since 1941, although the property may have been used as a DPW facility
before this time. The site is located in a mixed commercial and residential area. The
site is bordered to the east by an open area; to the south by private residences and
then Fletcher Street; to the west by Douglas Road; and to the north by the Mumford
River. The Cotton Mill Apartments are located in an old mill building on Linwood
Street, to the north of the site beyond the Mumford River. The downtown area of
Whitinsville is located at to the north/northwest of the site along Linwood
Street/Main Street. The Alternatives Rehabilitation Center is located to the west of
the site on the west side of Douglas Road. Numerous residences are located to the
south/southeast of the site along Fletcher Street. The Whitinsville Golf Club is
located approximately 0.2 miles southeast of the site on Fletcher Street.
Several buildings/storage sheds are located on the site. A brick and concrete block
garage houses the DPW office. A large salt storage shed is located at the eastern end
of the property. A stucco garage is located on the southwest portion of the site. A
wood building, wood garage, and lumber barn are also located on the site. The
majority of the remaining portions of the site are either paved or landscaped. The site
is fenced on three sides, the fourth of which is bordered by the Mumford River. The
topography of the site is generally flat with the northern portion lowering slightly to

the Mumford River. A site location plan is included as Figure 1. A site plan is
presented as Figure 2.
In 1994, while trenching in the area of a 1,000-gallon diesel tank located just west of
the Stucco Garage (see Figure 2), DPW employees observed a thin film of oil at the
groundwater table. In 1995, the DPW decided to remove all the underground storage
tanks (USTs) on site for reasons as follows: it was an alternative to the upgrading
required under state/federal regulations; the age of the USTs, environmental
concerns, and they were no longer required as a result of the installation of an above
ground fuel storage tank (AST).
In December of 1995, Earth Tech provided oversight services of the removal of a
500-gallon capacity fuel oil UST located just east of the Stucco Garage, and a 1,000gallon diesel UST, reportedly installed in 1986, located immediately west of the
Stucco Garage. A long-time DPW employee reported that waste oils had been
routinely disposed of around the building in the past, and this appears to be one
source of the oil-stained soils. A 3,000-gallon waste-oil tank was also abandoned in
place in December 1995, because half of it was situated beneath the western end of
the Brick Garage (see Figure 2).
1.3
Summary of the Phase I Initial Site Investigation
The Phase I Initial Site Investigation Report contained the results of past assessment
and remedial activities as well as more recent Preliminary Response Actions
conducted at the DPW facility. The recent work was conducted pursuant to the
requirements of the 1993 MCP and associated revisions, specifically 310 CMR
§40.0481. The report was intended to provide sufficient information to facilitate the
evaluation and Tier Classification of the DPW site.
The information presented below was gathered during the Preliminary Response
Actions completed at the site in December 1996. The detailed results of the
Preliminary Response Actions are presented in the Phase I Initial Site Investigation
Report, dated April 1997.
Soil and groundwater samples were collected from the seventeen soil borings and six
groundwater monitoring wells located on the property (see Figure 2). Of the analytes
detected, the concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) in samples 82-
SI, B8-SI, B9-Sl, Bll-SI, BIl-S2, and B15-S1 exceeded the corresponding
reportable concentration (RC) of 500 parts per million (ppm), and the applicable
Method I S-l/GW-2 risk-based standard of 500 ppm. The toluene concentration
detected in B3A-Sl exceeded the applicable RC of 90 ppm, and the ethylbenzene
concentration detected in B3A-S I and 89-SI exceeded the RC of 80 ppm; neither of
these analytes was detected in concentrations exceeding Method I risk-based
Introduction
Page 1-2

standards. The total xylenes in B3A-S1 and 89-SI exceeded the applicable RC of
500 ppm, and the applicable Method I risk-based standard of 500 ppm.
Detectable concentrations of petroleum were identified in samples collected from
groundwater monitoring wells MW-3, MW-7, and MW-8. None of the analytes
detected in groundwater were above the applicable RCGW-2 threshold, and none
were above the applicable GW-2/GW-3 Method 1 risk-based standards.
Based on the results of the Phase I investigation, Earth Tech concluded that:
o
Releases of petroleum products (including weathered fuel oil, lubricating oils
and gasoline) to soil and groundwater have occurred at the facility. These
releases probably originated from a leaking UST, overfilling of USTs, and
general waste-oil disposal practices over the course of the years.
o
Groundwater flow at the facility is oriented toward the north-northeast
(toward the Mumford River).
o
The highest concentration of TPH in soil at the site was detected in sample S5 (17,000 ppm) which was collected from the tank grave of the 500-gallon
capacity fuel oil UST.
o
The highest concentration of petroleum in groundwater at the site (38,000
ppb) was detected in sample GW-2, which was also collected from the tank
grave of the 500-gallon capacity fuel oil UST.
Benzene, toluene,
ethylbenzene, and xylenes were detected in groundwater monitoring well
MW-3; ethylbenzene and xylenes were detected in MW-7; and toluene and
xylenes were detected in MW-8. None of the detected concentrations of
TPH or volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exceeded the applicable RCs.
o
Method 1 risk-based standards were exceeded in a soil sample collected from
the former location of the 1,000 gallon capacity diesel oil UST (S2-1000D),
two soil samples collected from the tank grave of the 500-gallon capacity
fuel oil UST (S-4 and S-5), and one or more soil samples from soil borings
B2, B3A, B-8, B9, B-Il, and B-15. Based on these results, three areas of
soil contamination were defined as shown on Figure 2 of the ISA. No riskbased standards were exceeded by analyte concentrations in groundwater.
There are no Natural Resource Areas such as vernal pools, ponds, lakes, streams,
rivers, public drinking water supplies consisting of Zone II areas, Interim Wellhead
Protection Areas, Zone A areas, or Potentially Productive Aquifers within 500 feet of
the site. There are also no known private wells in the vicinity of the site.

Summary of Phase 11 CSA Findings
Earth Tech completed a Phase iI - Comprehensive Site Assessment (CSA) of the
DPW facility in January, February, and March 1999. The objectives of the Phase II
investigation were to characterize contamination at the site, identify contaminated
media, determine the concentrations and vertical and lateral extent of subsurface
contamination, identify contaminant migration mechanisms, and estimate the rate of
contaminant migration. The scope of this investigation consisted of subsurface
investigations, soil and groundwater sampling, and laboratory analyses, and report
preparation.
The Phase II field investigation involved collecting surface and subsurface soil
samples from eleven soil borings, replacing one monitoring well that had been
installed during the Phase I investigation and subsequently damaged, and collecting
and analyzing groundwater samples from existing and newly installed monitoring
wells to evaluate groundwater quality on-site.
During the Phase II investigation, 11 soil borings were advanced on January 29,
1999, February 1, 1999, and March 2, 1999. In general, Earth Tech collected soil
samples at the 2 to 4-foot, 5 to 7-foot, and 10 to 12-foot intervals as borings were
advanced and field-screened the samples for VOCs using an HNu photoionization
detector (PID). One sample from each boring, which had the highest PID reading,
was submitted for laboratory analysis for extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (EPH)
and volatile petroleum hydrocarbons (VPH). Groundwater samples were collected
from each of the existing wells on February 2, 1999 for EPH and VPH analyses.
During this investigation, Earth Tech conducted groundwater measurements in the
newly installed and existing monitoring wells. The general groundwater flow
direction at the site is towards the north-northeast towards the Mumford River.
Based on the historical and current sampling results, none of the groundwater
exceeds Method 1 Standards for GW-2 or GW-3, and groundwater was therefore not
identified as a medium of concern at the site.
The three areas of soil contamination were further identified and delineated in the
Phase 1I report. Two of the areas are associated with the underground storage tanks
that were removed in December 1995: one 500-gallon fuel oil tank to the east of the
stucco garage and one 1,000-gallon diesel tank to the west of the garage. The third
area of concern identified in the Phase I report is along the DPW driveway in the
center portion of the site. The source of the contamination in this third area was not
been identified, although it is suspected to be related to general waste oil disposal
practices in the vicinity of the driveway area. The results of the soil sampling
conducted at the facility indicate that the three areas of soil contamination are still of
concern at the facility. Levels of EPH compounds, including diesel polynuclear

aromatics (PAHs) and other target PAH analytes were detected above MCP Method
I Standards at several soil boring locations.
1.5
Phase III Report Recommendations
In April 1999, Earth Tech prepared and submitted the Phase III Remedial Action
Plan that presented three remedial action alternatives (RAAs) that are reasonably
likely to achieve a Level of No Significant Risk to health, safety, public welfare or
the environment at the site. The goal of the RAAs was to reach a Permanent Solution
for the site. A Permanent Solution, as defined by the MCP, is a measure or
combination of measures which will, when implemented, ensure attainment of a level of
control of each identified substance of concern at a disposal site or in the surrounding
environment such that no substance of concern will present a significant risk of damage
to health, safety, public welfare, or the environment during any foreseeable period of
time.
The selected Phase III RAA includes the following measures:
o
Grading and paving the facility to create an asphalt cap in the areas of concern
that are currently unpaved to eliminate any exposure pathway to the
contaminated soils; and
o
The placement of an Activity and Use Limitation (AUL) to restrict the property
to non-residential use and reduce potential exposures to OHM for excavation
workers.
This alternative also includes site inspections and maintenance of the pavement on an
annual basis. The selected remedy eliminates the risks of exposure and is the most
economically feasible, while providing the site with a Permanent Solution as defined
by the MCP.

REMEDIAL DESIGN
2.1
Goals of the Remedial Action
The goals of this remedial action are to achieve a Permanent Solution as defined by
the MCP for the site. Achieving a Permanent Solution for this site requires
implementation of a measure, or combination of measures, that will attain a level of
control of each identified substance of concern at the site such that no substance of
concern will present a significant risk to health, safety, public welfare, or the
environment during any foreseeable period of time.
As presented in the Phase III Remedial Action Plan, a Permanent Solution will be
attained by a combination of a bituminous concrete pavement (asphalt) cap and
placement of a AUL as presented in RAA No. 1 in the Phase III report.
2.2
Status of the Disposal Site
The status of the Site has been presented in the Phase II and Phase III Reports. No
new, significant information concerning the status of the Site has been identified,
relative to the development of an engineering design for the proposed remedial
action.
2.3
Disposal Site Maps
The Disposal Site Maps are attached in the Figures section of this report. Figure 2
presents the Site Plan and Figure 3 provides the proposed extents of asphalt caps.
The asphalt cap and AUL will be conservatively placed beyond the known limits of
soil contamination as shown on the figures.
2.4
Materials to be Managed under the RIP
2.4.1
Characteristics of Material to be Treated or Managed
The types of material to be managed at the site are soil and bituminous concrete
pavement. As reported in the Phase 11 Report, site soil is primarily four to seven feet
of granular fill overlying sandy soil. The soil contains low concentrations of
petroleum related contaminants including total petroleum hydrocarbons, EPH, VPH
aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, PAHs, and VOCs including BTEX, MTBE, and
naphthalene. The concentrations of these contaminants are expected to be within the
acceptance criteria for soil recycling for asphalt batching. Soil will be managed and
transported in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
A small volume of bituminous concrete will be generated as a result of the remedial
action. Currently, portions of the three areas of concern are covered with asphalt.
Remedial Design
Page 2-1
1:work40196\projlphase irip.doc
The pavement covering these areas will need to be removed prior to the installing the
new pavement cap.
2.4.2
Quantity ofMaterials to be Treated or Managed
The estimated quantity of contaminated soil to be managed at the site is less than 125
cubic yards. It is assumed the top 6 to 7 inches of soil will need to be excavated from
the areas of concern in order to prepare the subgrade and place the dense-graded
crushed stone and bituminous concrete layers.
The estimated quantity of existing bituminous concrete pavement to be removed and
managed at the site is 40 cubic yards.
2.4.3
Location of Materials to be Treated or Managed
The locations of the soil to be managed at the subject site are within the limits of
impacted soil as delineated on Figure 2. The location of the existing bituminous
concrete pavement to be managed at the site is within the proposed limits of
pavement shown on Figure 3.
2.5
Conceptual Plan
The conceptual plan for this remedial action includes the components/activities listed
below:
o Install temporary erosion and sediment controls as required by the Order of
Conditions by the Northbridge Conservation Committee that will result from the
Notice of Intent to be filed shortly.
Remedial Design
o
Excavate the existing bituminous concrete pavement and site soil to within the
limits of work as needed prepare the area for the new pavement caps. It is
assumed the thickness of existing pavement in the limits of work range from 2 to
3 inches.
a
Grade and prepare the areas for placement of the sub-base material (dense graded
crushed stone). The areas will be graded so the final surface closely matches the
existing site elevations. Modifications to grades may be necessary for
stormwater drainage improvements. The required improvements will be decided
and finalized based upon the needs of the DPW and conditions of the Order of
Conditions.
o
Stockpile the excavated asphalt and any petroleum contaminated soil generated
from site preparation. In order to minimize the quantity of petroleum-impacted
soil to be excavated and stockpiled, this soil will be reused as grading material
within the areas of concern to the greatest extent possible. All stockpiles will be
Page 2-2
R D\work\40196\projfphaseivrip.doc
located on the DPW facility property in an area(s) that minimize disruption to the
DPW operations. All stockpiles of contaminated soil will be covered with
polyethylene sheeting to minimize contact with precipitation.
Place the sub-base layer and bituminous concrete layers within the areas on Figure 3.
The cap from top to bottom consists of 1.5-inches of bituminous concrete wearing
course, 2.5-inches of bituminous concrete binder coarse, and 2-inches of densegraded crushed stone. Note the DPW may resurface addition areas of the DPW yard
that are beyond the requirements of this remedial action. At a minimum, the three
areas of soil contamination will be capped with new bituminous concrete pavement.
Dispose and/or recycle the stockpiled bituminous concrete pavement and petroleumimpacted soil in accordance with local, state, and federal regulation.
2.6
Relevant Design and Operation Parameters
2.6.1
Design Criteria
The design criteria for the remedial action presented in this RIP are as follows:
Design
Remedial Design
o
Cap the contaminated soil with a durable surface that will eliminate the exposure
pathway to the soil;
o
Grade the areas of concern and install stormwater management controls to
improve the site drainage and address local and state water quality standards;
o
Match existing grades where possible;
o
Protect on-site workers and minimize the disruption to DPW operations;
o
Place the bituminous concrete pavement in accordance with local and state
standards;
o
Manage contaminated soil and spent bituminous concrete pavement in
accordance with all applicable regulations and to minimize disruptions to the
DPW operations;
o
Perform a site survey by a State of Massachusetts Registered Land Surveyor to
document the asphalt cap covers the three areas of concern; and,
o
Place an AUL to restrict current and future site uses to protect on-site workers
and future owners of the property from the OHM on the site.

N:work\40l96\proj~phaseMvrip.doc
2.6.2
Expected Effectiveness of the RemedialActions
The expected effectiveness of the remedial actions for this site is considered high.
The placement of bituminous concrete pavement caps over the areas of concern will
eliminate the exposure pathway to the impacted soil. The effectiveness of the AUL
should is considered high because additional remedial actions would be necessary
before the property could be used for certain future uses (e.g., residential use). If the
property were to be developed for anything other than its current use that would
require disturbing the paved area, further cleanup of the contaminated soils may be
necessary.
2.6.3
Demonstration of the Remedial Actions Ability ofAchieve Remedial Goals
Capping areas with bituminous concrete to eliminate an exposure pathway to soil
contamination is a commonly accepted and used technology. Similarly, the
placement of an AUL at the site is also a commonly used property restriction to
achieve remedial goals.
2.7
Spill or Accidental Release Controls
The MCP considers these controls as design features for control of oil and hazardous
materials spills and accidental discharge or system malfunction, including without
limitation: containment structures, leak detection devices, run-off controls, pressure
valves, by pass systems, or safety cutoffs. The measures listed above with the
exception of run-off controls are not applicable to the pavement cap and AUL for the
subject site. Run-off controls during construction will most likely include the use of
hay bales and silt fence and temporary covers (polyethylene sheeting). Additional
stormwater runoff controls may be required for this project as determined in the
wetlands permitting process.
2.8
Methods for Management or Disposal of OHM Generated as a Result of the Remedial
Action
Soil and asphalt materials generated, as a result of the remedial action, will be
managed in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations. It is anticipated
that both the soil and asphalt generated will meet the acceptance criteria for recycling
-at asphalt batching plants. Materials shipped off site will be tracked under the
appropriate manifests or bills of lading under direction of the LSP.
2.9
Identification of Site-Specific Characteristics that may affect the Remedial Action
2.9.1
Impacts to Existing Disposal Site Activities or Operations
The remedial action will temporarily disrupt the DPW operations at the site. The
areas to be covered with pavement are currently used for either storage of equipment
or vehicles or within the travel ways of the DPW yard. Equipment and vehicles will
Remedial Design
Page 2-4
1:\workW0196\proj~phaseivrip.doc
need to be moved and temporarily stored off the subject areas until the placement of
the bituminous concrete pavement caps are complete.
Long term maintenance of the pavement surfaces will not impose any impacts on the
site activities or operations. Maintenance of pavement in roadways is a routine task
for the DPW; therefore, supplying the equipment, labor and materials to perform the
necessary maintenance of the pavement will be performed with minimal effort and
difficulties.
2.9.2
Drainage Features
The proximity of the site to the Mumford River and the discharge of run-off to the
river are being considered for this project. Although the work proposed in this
remedial action would improve the water quality of run-off from the site, additional
measures may be required to meet local and state water quality standards. Any
additional stormwater controls, if necessary, will be decided in the wetlands
permitting process.
The existing catch basin located to the east of the Stucco Garage will be protected
during construction. Haybales will be placed around the catch basin as shown on
Detail 2 of Figure 3.
2.9.3
Natural Resource Areas, Local Planning and Development Issues
As reported in the Phase II report, there are no Natural Resource Areas such as vernal
pools, lakes, rivers, public drinking supplies consisting of Zone II areas, Interim
Wellhead Protection Areas, Zone A areas, or Potentially Productive Aquifers within
500 feet of the Site.
As stated above in this report, approval by the Northbridge Conservation Committee
will be required for this project. A Notice of Intent will be filed for the project.
Work will not begin until the Northbridge Conservation Committee issues an Order
of Conditions. Stormwater drainage improvements may be required to meet
stormwater management standards set forth in the stormwater management policy
issued by the State of Massachusetts in May 1997.
2.9.4
Site-Specific Soil and Groundwater Characteristics
The Phase I and Phase II investigations identified 01HM in the soil and groundwater.
The presence of OHM in the soil and groundwater was considered in the selection of
the remedial action. The design, construction, or operation of the selected remedial
action alternative will not adversely affect soil and groundwater characteristics.
Remedial Design
Page 2-5
:\work\40196\projiphaseMrip.doc
2.10
Mitigative Measures
Measures to be incorporated into the design, construction, and operation of the
remedial action alternative to avoid or minimize impacts on environmental receptors
and natural resource areas (including any surface water or wetland) are as follows:
o
Haybales and silt fence shall be placed around catch basin(s) and in drain ways to
minimize soil and silt migration from the work area;
o
Placement of the bituminous concrete pavement will occur shortly after site
preparation is completed to minimize exposure time after the disruption of the
current site conditions;
o
Stockpiles of contaminated soil and old pavement will be located such that
stormwater runoff does not run through the piles. Temporary measures including
soil berms and ditches may be used to divert water around and away from the
stockpiles.
o
Stockpiles of soil will be covered with polyethylene sheeting to minimize contact
with precipitation, and,
o Stormwater drainage improvements may be required to meet stormwater
management standards set forth in the stormwater management policy issued by
the State of Massachusetts in May 1997. Potential measures include, but not
limited to, water quality swales, infiltration trenches, deep sump and hooded
catch basins, and street sweeping of paved areas. The additional measures, if
any, will be decided in the wetlands permitting process.
2.11
Inspections and Monitoring during the Implementation of the Remedial Action
Earth Tech anticipates providing oversight during various stages of the project.
Assistance will be provided with the initial layout of the areas to be worked on an asneeded basis. Full-time oversight is anticipated during excavation and regrading of
existing site pavement and soil. Part-time oversight is anticipated during the
placement of the new bituminous concrete pavement surfaces. Inspections by the
LSP will occur on an as-needed basis.

OPERATION, MAINTENANCE & MONITORING PLAN
4.1
Person(s) Conducting OMM
The names and telephone number of the persons conducting operation, maintenance and
monitoring activities under the proposed remedial implementation plan are presented in
Section 1.4. The Town will retain the services of an LSP to conduct inspection services
of the bituminous concrete pavement caps.
4.2
General Operating Procedures
The selected remedy does not have any generating operating procedures.
4.3
Type, Frequency & Duration of Monitoring & Testing to Ensure Remedial Action Design
Site inspections will be performed by both the DPW and a LSP to ensure the integrity
of the bituminous concrete pavement caps over the areas of concern. The DPW will
perform inspections on a routine basis to determine if any cracks or breaches in the
pavement occurs. In addition, a LSP will perform site inspections on a semi-annual
basis to inspect the integrity of the pavement caps. One inspection will be performed
in the spring after the winter thaw. The other inspection will occur approximately 6
months after the spring inspection.
Documentation of each inspection will be submitted to the DPW in the form a letter
report. At a minimum, the report will include the items listed below as structured in
accordance with 310 CMR 40.0892 (Inspection and Monitoring Reports).
o
A description of the type and frequency of inspection activities conducted.
o
A description of any significant modifications of inspections made since the
submission of the preceding Inspection and Monitoring Report.
o
A description of any conditions or problems noted during the inspection period,
which are or may be affecting the performance of the remedial action.
o
A description of measures taken to correct conditions which are affecting the
performance of the remedial action;
o
The name, license number, signature and seal of the LSP.
o
The date and time of the inspection.
The Owner of the property will perform maintenance of the caps, including
replacement of pavement and sealing of cracks on an as-needed basis.
The Town will submit the results of the inspections to the DEP every 6 months in
accordance with 3 10 CMR 40.0874 (3)(d).

MISCELLANEOUS IMPLEMENTATION ISSUES
5.1
Site Specific Health & Safety Plan
Earth Tech prepared a site-specific health and safety plan (HASP) in accordance with 29
CFR 1910.120. The HASP identified known and suspected chemical and physical
hazards at the work site, personal protection monitoring requirements, OSHA levels of
personal protection, protection upgrade levels, locations of emergency medical
assistance, and emergency phone numbers. The hazardous materials health and safety
plan prepared to address construction activities is presented in Appendix C.
Workers trained with the 40-hour OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency
Response Training will perform some of the work activities associated with this project.
Workers possessing this training will perform the activities as follows: excavation of
existing pavement and soil within the three areas of concern; on site stockpiling of the
pavement and soil; and regrading of soil within the areas of concern. Upon the
acceptance of the subgrade and completion of site preparation activities for the
pavement caps, the installation of sub-base material and bituminous concrete pavement
layers can be performed by construction workers who do not have 40-hour OSHA
training.
5.2
Permits, Licenses & Approvals for the Remedial Action
The Town plans to obtain the Northbridge Conservation Committee's approval for the
proposed remedial action activities. Because the work is within the buffer zone of the
Mumford River, the Town will file a Notice of Intent (NOI) for the project. The Town
will consider the requirements of the March 1997 Stormwater Management Policy
prepared by the MA DEP and MA Office of Coastal Zone Management. The final plans
for the project will include measures to address the stormwater management standards
included in the March 1997 Stormwater Management Policy. Work will not commence
until the Northbridge Conservation Committee issues an Order of Conditions. Submittal
of a NOI is expected by mid-July. An Order of Conditions is anticipated by mid-August
and work will begin shortly after.
5.3
Property Access Issues
The site is located upon property owned by the Town of Northbridge. It is the
current location of the Northbridge DPW operations. The DPW uses portions of the
site for storage of equipment and vehicles that will be temporarily moved for the
implementation of the remedial action. There are no property access issues that are
relevant to the implementation of the RIP.

shall be stockpiled for reuse. Unsuitable or Excess suitable materials shall be legally
disposed of off-site by the Contractor unless otherwise specified.
4.
Excavation shall be to the limits as necessary to install foundations, utilities, pavement or
other facilities unless otherwise specified. Excavation of unsuitable material beyond the
limits necessary shall only be performed as authorized by the Engineer.
02220-3
B.
C.
5.
The proposed contour lines and spot grades shown on the drawings are finish elevations.
Excavation to subgrade shall be the distance below these elevations as may be required by
the size and thickness of pavements, structures, utilities and surface treatments as shown on
the drawings, details and sections, or as specified herein.
6.
Over-excavation beyond the specified or detailed limits shall be backfilled and properly
compacted by the Contractor and at no additional cost to the Owner.
7.
No spread foundations shall be founded partially on rock and partially on soil. In this event
the rock shall be excavated to a minimum depth of 12 inches below the bottom of
foundation and compacted gravel fill placed to the bottom of foundation unless otherwise
shown on the drawings.
8.
Excavating equipment shall be of such size and type, and operated in a manner, that will not
damage items such as, but not limited to, existing paved surfaces, utilities, structures and
trees.
9.
The Contractor shall, at his own expense, be responsible to make excavations under guy
wires, along side of poles, buildings, and other objects as necessary to complete the work.
This may require the Contractor to perform hand excavation. The Contractor has the full
responsibility for this work for which there shall be no special compensation unless
otherwise noted herein. The relocation of utility poles, and the like, shall be done at the
Contractor's expense,
Trench Excavation
1.
Trench excavation shall consist of the removal of all materials encountered. Excavations
shall be made to accommodate the elevation, depth of cover, or detail shown on the
drawings or specified. Trench widths shall be kept to the minimum practicable but shall be
at least three feet wide or two feet plus the diameter of the pipe, whichever is greater. The
bottom of the trenches shall be firm and free of water and shall be accurately graded and
shaped to allow placement of required bedding beneath the bottom of all barrels, bells or
couplings of all pipes installed.
2.
Design criteria require that pipe be laid in trench conditions, therefore trenches for utilities
in fil areas shall be excavated after all fill materials have been placed, spread and
compacted to an elevation at least one foot above the top of the proposed utility. This
requirement is necessary to fulfill design criteria and should not be construed as a dictation
of the Contractor's means and methods of construction.
3.
If, through the Contractor's error, the excavations are carried beyond the specified limits, or
if inadequate dewatering causes softening of the subgrade which necessitates removal,
backfill shall be with gravel fill, placed and compacted as specified hereinafter under
Trench Backfilling. Backfill shall be performed at no additional cost to the Owner.
4.
When trenching occurs around trees to remain, the tree roots shall not be cut but rather, the

PREPARATIONS FOR BITUMINOUS CONCRETE PAVING
Subgrade Preparation
1.
All trenches shall be backfilled and compacted as required under the SECTION 02220,
EARTHWORK. The edges of all pavements along the line of the trench shall be cut
back from exposed edges thereof, a sufficient distance to form a clean, sharp straight
edge essentially parallel to the centerline of the trench. The minimum lateral cut back to
be allowed will be 12 inches. Cut back pavement shall be carefully removed to
minimize any disturbance to foundation materials. The exposed surface of the
foundation material shall then be rolled, wetting the surface as necessary to obtain a
firm, even surface. Any depressions or uneven areas shall be regraded and re-rolled until
the surface is smooth and satisfactorily compacted.
2.
All surfaces to receive pavements shall be examined by the paving subcontractor to see
that they are in proper condition to receive paving. Starting work in any area shall
constitute acceptance of that surface. Sub-grade shall be maintained in satisfactory
condition and properly drained until surface improvement is placed. All defects
resulting from use of unaccepted surfaces shall be corrected by the Contractor at no
additional expense to the Owner.
02503-2
B.
The Contractor shall raise all Owner drain and sewer manhole frames and covers, catch basin
frames and grates and gate boxes to the established grades [as shown on the attached plates or
drawings] before paving is applied.
C.
Prior to submitting his bid, the Contractor shall contact the other utilities so as to gain their
requirements concerning any possible adjustment of gate boxes and other such structures. If
the utility wishes the Contractor to raise these boxes it shall be in accordance with the utilities
requirements. If the utility wishes to adjust their own gate boxes the Contractor shall give the
utility adequate notice ofhis paving schedule.
D.
If the gravel base course is disturbed by the adjustment of utilities, the disturbed base material
shall be carefully removed and replaced with Portland cement concrete.

GENERAL
This site-specific Health And Safety Plan (HASP) has been prepared by Earth Tech, Inc. (Earth
Tech) for the environmental work to be conducted at 11 Fletcher Street in Northbridge,
Massachusetts (the Site). This HASP was prepared in accordance with the regulatory requirements
of 29 CFR 1910.120, "Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response". This HASP is for
use by Earth Tech personnel and their subcontractors.
In accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120, this plan establishes the procedures and protocols necessary
for protecting workers and the general public from potential chemical and physical hazards
associated with the following activities related to the Fletcher Street activities:
o
Removal of small amount of bituminous concrete;
o
Excavation of contaminated soil and pavement;
o
General environmental evaluations.
This HASP summarizes the project organization and responsibilities; establishes Standard Operating
Procedures for preventing accidents, injuries, and illnesses; identifies hazards; discusses the personal
protective equipment that may be used at the site; identifies personnel health and safety training
requirements; summarizes the monitoring techniques to be used; establishes emergency procedures;
describes the medical surveillance program; identifies the appropriate first aid equipment that is
available; provides for accident recordkeeping; and establishes a schedule for safety inspections.
This HASP does address construction-related safety and health issues/activities/tasks. Constructionrelated safety issues during work tasks are the responsibility of the subcontractor(s) performing these
activities.
The HASP will be implemented by the Health & Safety Specialist (HSS), the Site Safety & Health
Officer (SSHO), and the Licensed Site Professional (LSP) during site work in the area(s) of concern.
All issues associated with any excavation and management of contaminated soils encountered during
construction shall be the responsibility of the LSP. Compliance with this HASP is required of all

Earth Tech personnel should not enter the immediate work area around the drill rig during
operations. Exposures to environmental media will be minimized by the use of personal protective
equipment and good housekeeping practices.
Exposure limits for the materials of concern are presented in Table 4-1. The American Conference
of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for the work
environment are given for airborne exposures. Three TLV standards are presented, if available, for
each chemical. The Time Weighted Average (TWA) is the time-weighted average concentration for
a normal 8-hour day and a 40-hour work week, to which nearly all workers may be repeatedly
exposed, day after day, without adverse effect. The Short-term Exposure Limit (STEL) is a 15minute time-weighted average exposure that should not be exceeded at any time during a work day
even if the 8-hour TWA is within the TLV. Exposures above the TLV-TWA up to the STEL should
not be longer than 15 minutes and should not occur more than four times per day. There should be
at least 60 minutes between successive exposures in this range. The ceiling limit (CEIL) values refer
to the maximum exposure concentration for any duration. Also presented are the OSHA Permissible
Exposure Limits (PELs). The PEL values are presented either as an 8-hour TWA, 15-minute STEL,
Hazard Assessment
Page 4-1
L: WORK40196PROJlphase ivhasp.doc
or CEIL. The CEIL indicates the upper limit acceptable excursions above the TWA. The
immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) value represents a maximum concentration from
which one could escape within 30 minutes without any escape-impairing symptoms or any
irreversible health effects. Other relevant health-based information that applies to this health and
safety plan or to the employee's right to know is discussed in the Material Safety Data Sheets for the
chemicals of concern in Appendix A.
4.2
Degree of Hazard
On-site hazards include physical and chemical hazards. No radiological, biological, or laboratory
wastes are suspected on-site. Potential contaminants of concern at the site (e.g., heavy metals) can
affect the body if they are inhaled, come in contact with the eyes or skin, or are ingested. These
materials may be released during soil intrusive activities and contact with contaminated groundwater.
The primary concern is for skin exposure and inhalation exposure to contaminated soils (and
groundwater if encountered). Exposure to these substances by inhalation of suspended particulates
(in the breathing zone) is not anticipated based on the activities being conducted during this project.
Atmospheric monitoring for vapors, however, will be conducted in the Breathing Zone to define the
level of respiratory protection needed.
Soil excavation activities may provide the potential for encountering buried hazards. All utilities
will be "cleared" before intrusive activities begin. This includes location of overhead utilities. This
will be the responsibility of the subcontractor(s) performing these activities. If encountered, field
activities will be stopped, and the SSHO and the HSS must be notified.
Physical hazards that may be encountered at the site during field activities include overhead and
tripping hazards associated with heavy construction equipment operations.
Excessive noise may be generated from air compressors, heavy construction equipment, etc. As a
precaution, hearing protection will be available to be worn when working around constructionrelated equipment or deemed necessary. In areas where sound levels prohibit normal speech and
where personnel will spend extended time (>1 hour) hearing protection will be required.
Depending on seasonal weather conditions, there is some potential for workers on-site to be affected
by heat stress if site activities are scheduled for the summer months or cold exposure if activities are
conducted during winter months. The SSHO will monitor for heat stress or cold exposure in
accordance with Section 12.7 of this HASP.
A summary of physical hazards is presented in Table 4-2. Air monitoring and Action Levels are
presented in Section 9.0 of this HASP.

4.2.1
Confined Space Entry
A confined space is defined as a space which has any one of the following characteristics: limited
opening for entry and exit; is large enough to be bodily entered; and is not designed for continuous
worker occupancy. A permit-required confined space is a confined space that contains or has the
potential to possess a recognized hazard to personnel (e.g., a hazardous atmosphere, engulfment
potential, etc.). This may include excavations as part of this project. Where a location is determined
to be a permit-required confined space, all Standard Operating Procedures for permit-required
confined space entry will be performed in accordance with the applicable OSHA Standard 29 CFR
1910.146 (Permit Required Confined Space Entry).
For all permit-required confined space entries performed during the project, a written permit system
which evaluates conditions and assures safe entry procedures are followed shall be implemented by
the SSHO. A copy of the Confined Space Entry Permit is located in Appendix C. The entry permit
will remain in the area until the work has been completed. The permit will be retained and reviewed
by the SSHO to assure the appropriate procedures have been implemented. Training in confined
space entry procedures must be obtained by all personnel prior to working on a project task requiring
entry into permit-required confined space. Prior to entry, the atmosphere throughout the space shall
be monitored for oxygen deficiency, combustible gases, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, and any
other toxic substances expected. Safe air quality is air quality that meets each of the following
requirements.
o
Oxygen content of 19.5% to 23.5%
o
Hydrogen sulfide content of <10 ppm
o
Combustible gas content of <10% of the lower explosive limit (LEL); and
o
Carbon monoxide content <25 ppm
o
Exposure level for any toxic substance determined or suspected to be present
which is below the PEL-TWA or TLV-TWA for any substance specified by
the OSHA or ACGIH.
Based on monitoring, if the concentration levels are within safe air quality limits specified above,
entry may proceed. If air quality falls outside any of the limits specified above, personnel will not
enter the space without consulting the SSHO, or if air quality falls outside these limits while in a
space, they will exit the space immediately and contact the SSHO. All air quality readings will be
recorded on the Confined Space Entry Permit.
An employee entering vertically into a permit-required confined space shall wear a full body harness
secured to a lifeline. The lifeline shall be secured in such a manner that if a rescue must be made,
the above ground end of the lifeline can be attached to a winch. Entry without this equipment will
only be allowed where it can be demonstrated that the presence of the equipment would not assist

in the rescue of personnel or would increase the hazard of the entry. PPE will be used as specified
in Section 8.0 and will typically be Level D unless air monitoring detects elevated vapor
concentrations or dangerous oxygen levels.
When entering a confined space or other areas where safe air quality does not exist, a trained
attendant must be present at all times to assist and observe worker(s) in the confined space. The
attendant will handle the safety line, observe traffic, and react to any emergency situations. The
observer will at all times keep in contact with the employee(s) in the confined space and will order
them out when ill effects (e.g., unsteadiness, unusual behavior, drowsiness, spasms, etc) are
observed or hazardous conditions exist. Throughout the confined space entry, a trained rescue
service will be available and a means of communication with them will be established. All confined
entries will be conducted in accordance with the contractors SOP.
4.2.2
Spill Containment
Prevention of spills and vapor releases is a primary concern during all planning and work activities.
Spill control and countermeasures are discussed in Section 12.10 of this HASP.

TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
5.1
Basic Training Required
Personnel who are required to work in areas where the potential for toxic exposure exists shall
complete training or have site experience conforming to the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120(e).
The required 40-hour course (and 24-hours of "on the job" training) provides training on procedures
for working at hazardous waste sites. Personnel are also required to have received 8 hours of
refresher training annually thereafter. In addition, all supervisory personnel (e.g., the SSHO, project

SITE CONTROL MEASURES
The purposes of the site control measures discussed in this section are to maintain order at the site
and to minimize chemical and physical hazards to on-site personnel, visitors, and the public. Site
organization and control will be established and maintained according to the recommendations set
forth in EPA's "Standard Operating Safety Guide," October 1985 and the
NIOSH/OSHA/USCG/EPA publication "Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for
Hazardous Waste Site Activities," October 1985. Three general areas of operation shall be
established as necessary to reduce the risk of personnel exposure to hazardous substances. The three
areas are:
o
Exclusion Zone (Zone A)
o
Contamination Reduction Zone (Zone B)
o
Support Zone (Zone C).
The decision to establish these control zones, as well as the dimensions of each area and the safe
working distances between each area, shall be established by the SSHO and balanced against
practical work considerations and existing field conditions. The extent and relative positions of the
control zones will change during progressive stages of the project. The limits of these control zones
will be adjusted as site-specific conditions relative to contaminant conditions are better defined.
These changes from the original defined field parameters will be documented.
7.1
Exclusion Zone
The Exclusion Zone (Zone A) is the area containing or suspected of containing contaminated
materials. The Exclusion Zone is generally defined as the area immediately surrounding the tank
area, soil boring, well hole, or the area that is contaminated or will be unavoidably contaminated by
site operations. Since this area shall be considered contaminated, all personnel within the area must
use the prescribed levels of personal protection. The Exclusion Zone may be marked with caution
tape or other similar temporary barricade system (e.g., barricade fences) to allow for adjustments to
the size and location due to changing site conditions. Access and egress from the Exclusion Zone
will be through the Contaminant Reduction Zone following the procedures described in Section 10.0
of this HASP. The Exclusion Zone boundary (hotline) is based on observations and/or
measurements of air contaminant concentrations. Any change in the protection level specified by
the HASP shall be approved by the SSHO and the HSS before being initiated.
As defined in the HASP, there may be some areas where the use of respiratory protection is not
required during normal work activities. Respirators will be immediately available for use, however,
should a potential hazard become evident. Areas where respirators are not required are identified
by the following characteristics:
Site Control Measures
Page 7-1
L:\WORK\40O96\PROfphase ivhasp.doc
no known airborne hazards are present; and
-
there is little or no potential for being impacted by the release of hazardous airborne
contaminants.
Because of the nature of field operations, Tyvek suits, disposable gloves, and shoe coverings should
be available for use in the Exclusion Zone and Contamination Reduction Zone as a general rule.
Hard hats, steel toe/shank boots, safety glasses and work clothes are required in all cases. Any item
taken into the Exclusion Zone shall be considered to be contaminated until carefully inspected and/or
decontaminated. All vehicles, equipment, instruments, and materials taken into the Exclusion Zone
shall remain in the zone until no longer needed or until they need repair.
Work Zone (Exclusion Zone) Entry and Exit Logs are to be completed on a daily basis. An example
of this log is presented in Appendix C.
7.2
Contamination Reduction Zone
The Contamination Reduction Zone (Zone B) shall be placed at the Exclusion Zone perimeter and
will provide a physical separation of the Exclusion Zone and the Support Zone. The Contamination
Reduction Zone is intended to prevent the spread of contaminants from work areas. All
decontamination procedures shall be conducted within this area. A portable eye wash, first aid kit,
towels, plastic bags, fire extinguisher and decontamination supplies are required in this area. The
Contamination Reduction Zone will provide an entry for personnel and equipment into the Exclusion
Zone and an exit area for decontamination personnel, materials and equipment from the Exclusion
Zone. Personnel entering this area will wear the PPE prescribed by the Action Levels. The
Contamination Reduction Zone may be surrounded with a suitable temporary barricade system (e.g.,
caution tape, barricade fence, etc.) to allow for adjustments to the size and location due to changing
site conditions.
Decontamination details are provided in Section 10 of this HASP.
7.3
Support Zone
The Support Zone (Zone C) is considered the uncontaminated area and will be identified by the
SSHO when field activities begin. The support zone shall be upwind of the Exclusion Zone, and
within the limits of the construction boundaries, but away from areas containing hazardous materials.
It will contain the Command Post, which will provide for team communications and emergency
response. A mobile telephone is generally located in this area. Appropriate sanitary facilities,
safety, medical, and support equipment will also be provided in this area. Any personnel not fully
trained for work with hazardous materials will be required to remain in the Support Zone.
Boundaries for the Support Zone may be separated from public access through the use a suitable
temporary barricade system (e.g., caution tape, barricade fence, etc.).
Site Control Measures
Page 7-2
L:\WORK\40196\PROJphase ivhasp.doc
7.4
Modification to Site Control
Less stringent site control and decontamination procedures may be utilized based upon field
activities and results of monitoring data. However, any modifications must be authorized by the
HSS and the SSHO.
7.5
Personnel and Small Equipment Decontamination
Personnel and small equipment decontamination areas will be established on-site. Personnel will
decontaminate and/or dispose of soiled protective clothing (i.e. disposable boots and gloves, etc.)
in the Contamination Reduction Zone established next to the Exclusion Zone. Refer to Section 10.1
for ftrther decontamination procedures.
7.6
Heavy Equipment Decontamination Area
To prevent off-site transport of contamination, construction equipment and vehicles will, as
necessary, be decontaminated at a fixed temporary decontamination area before exiting the
Contamination Reduction Zone immediately after exiting the Exclusion Zone. This location will
be selected by the SSHO prior to startup of field activities. Heavy equipment (drill rig, backhoes,
etc.) and other construction equipment will be steam-cleaned and/or decontaminated via dry brushing
at the fixed decontamination area, as necessary. Decontamination liquids will be collected and
disposed of in accordance with all applicable Federal, State and local regulations. Refer to Section
10.2 for further decontamination procedures.
7.7
Site Visitors
Visitors are requiredto report to the SSHO prior to accessing the site, although none are anticipated.
The SSHO will determine the purpose of individual visits, and will document decisions regarding
their access to the site. If granted limited access, visitors must sign in and out under the SSHO's
direction daily for the duration of their approved visit. Under no circumstances will visitors be
allowed to interfere with or participate in operations within the scope of the field investigation.
As needed, the SSHO will establish a designated Level D area as an observation point for visitors
during intrusive activities. This designated area will be located to offer proximate viewing of site
operations, and positioned such that visitors in no way may inhibit site access, logistics, or general
operations. Further, the SSHO will locate the viewing areas such that visitors present are at minimal
risk of exposure to site hazards.
Prior to gaining access to designated viewing areas described above, visitors must provide the SSHO
with documented compliance with Section 5 of the HASP, comply with other applicable sections,
and satisfy additional conditions placed on them as deemed appropriate by the SSHO to assure
visitor safety. Site visitors will be escorted throughout the site by the SSHO.

AIR MONITORING
9.1
General
Atmospheric conditions will be monitored during soil sampling activities providing potential
exposures to contaminated soils, and to determine the possible need to upgrade the personal
protection of on-site workers and to identify potential emergency conditions. In areas contaminated
with hazardous materials, the atmosphere in the worker breathing zone, at the Exclusion Zone
perimeter, and at the fence line of the Site shall be monitored. When atmospheric monitoring is
occurring, instrument readings shall be documented using the Atmospheric Monitoring Log
presented in Appendix C. All air monitoring equipment shall be maintained and calibrated
according to the manufacturer recommendations. Maintenance and calibration data will be recorded
and included in the Atmospheric Monitoring Log presented in Appendix C.
9.2
Exclusion Zone and Exclusion Zone Perimeter
Activities in the Exclusion Zone shall be initiated in Level D protection with the contingency to
upgrade the level of protection based on the action levels.
Monitoring for VOCs shall be performed continuously in the Exclusion Zone during soil sampling,
test boring activities. A photoionization detector (PID) shall be used to monitor the Breathing Zone
and all geological samples upon their retrieval for the presence of VOCs. All soils and soil piles,
if any, from an excavation shall also be monitored using a PID to detect any volatiles. The Exclusion
Zone perimeter will be continuously monitored (i.e., every 30 minutes) for VOCs and particulates
(visible dust) at an upwind and downwind location. Vapor suppression activities (i.e., minimize or
stop soil disturbance and application of vapor suppression materials) will be utilized when necessary
to minimize the presence of gases and vapors. Dust suppression activities (i.e., water trucks, water
mist over excavation) will be utilized when necessary to minimize the generation of particulate
aerosols (i.e., visible dust). Refer to Table 9-1 for a summary of Action Levels and respiratory
protection requirements for particular activities and contaminants detected.
9.3
Fence Line Monitoring
Level D protection will be utilized by personnel conducting fence line monitoring with the
contingency to upgrade the level of protection based on the action levels presented in Table 9-2. In
most cases, the fence line will also serve as the Exclusion Zone perimeter. The PID shall be used
to monitor fence line for VOCs during all soils sampling, test boring/monitoring well installation
and sampling, and soil stockpiling/disposal activities. Vapor suppression (i.e., minimize or stop
contaminated soil disturbance and/or application of vapor suppression materials) and dust
suppression activities (i.e., water trucks, water mist over excavation) will be utilized when necessary
to minimize the generation of vapors and/or particulate aerosols (i.e., visible dust).

DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
The SSHO shall determine the level of decontamination necessary based on the evaluation of
specific work activities and the potential degree of contamination encountered. Temporary
Contamination Reduction Zones shall be established as necessary.
10.1
Personnel and Small Equipment
Personnel will perform decontamination in the personal decontamination area upon entering the
Contamination Reduction Zone. Decontamination of personnel in Level D will consist of closure
and disposal of coveralls (when worn), disposable boots (when worn), and gloves. A minimum
decontamination layout for Level C protection and equipment is presented in Table 10-1.
Decontamination of personnel using Level C protective equipment will consist of:
o
Removal and disposal of boot covers.
o
Removal and disposal of coveralls.
o
Removal and disposal of outer gloves.
o
Removal, cleaning, and storage of respiratory equipment.
o
Washing boots or other non-disposable protective equipment (i.e., hard hat, safety
glasses/goggles, etc.) suspected of being contaminated using soap solution followed
by potable or distilled water rinse.
o
Removal and disposal of inner gloves.
Contaminated wash solutions and PPE will be disposed of at an appropriate and licensed disposal
facility. Hand tools and other small equipment will be decontaminated as needed by washing in
decontamination basins, or if possible, by dry decontamination.
10.2
Heavy Equipment
Prior to exiting contaminated areas that are being excavated, equipment and transport vehicles may
be decontaminated by washing if the equipment potentially came in contact with contaminated
materials. Heavy equipment may be dry decontaminated, if possible. It should be noted that, if
possible, clean areas/corridors that either eliminate or minimize any decontamination washing will
be utilized. Efforts will be made to unload, use and load transport equipment in a manner that
prevents contact of the vehicles with impacted materials and, therefore, decontamination will not be
necessary.
DecontaminationProcedures
Page 10-1
L:\WORK\40196\PROJphase ivlhasp.doc
10.2.1 Decon Pad Design
The decon pad will be portable and readily assembled/disassembled to insure that it does not
interfere with traffic control provisions. A typical decon pad design is as follows:
-
Typical decon pad dimensions will be 50 feet (length) by 15 feet (width);
a
The decon pad will slope toward a center low point sump to allow for collection of
decontamination water;
o
The pad will be constructed of 60 mil high density polyethylene (HDPE) liner
material overlain by a geotextile, and a minimum of 12 inches of clean sub-angular
stone will be back filled over the HDPE liner and geotextile;
o
A 12-inch high containment berm constructed of clean sub-angular stone will be
placed around the perimeter of the decon pad; and
0
The decon pad will be equipped with 3-feet high splash guards dropped inside the
bermed pad to prevent over spray.
10.2.2 Decon Water
Equipment and vehicles exiting established Exclusion Zones will be washed down, as required,
using a high pressure water and steam system.
Decon water will drain toward the center of the decon pad. A 6-inch diameter perforated HDPE pipe
(SDR 17 or equal) will be located at the low point of the pad which will collect and drain decon
water into a 55-gallon sump or equivalent.
Water collected in the sump will be pumped into a 5,000-gallon storage (poly) tank or equivalent.
Flexible hose and/or piping will serve as the connection between the decon pad sump and the poly
tank.
10.2.3 Decon Water Disposal
Poly tanks that are at or near capacity will be transported to a fully operational, licensed facility that
is in compliance with all Federal, State, and local regulations, which is capable of decon water
recycling or disposal.
Earth Tech will prepare all hazardous waste manifests, bills of lading, and all other documentation
in order to transport and dispose of decon water. The Client will be designated as generator and will
sign all manifests.

Documentation certifying that all decon water was transported to, accepted, and disposed of, will
be submitted to the Client. The documentation will include, but is not limited to the following:
-
A record of each load from the site to the disposal/recycling facility, including all
manifests, bills of lading, and all other documentation as applicable.
-
All documentation for each load shall be tracked by the original manifest document
number that was assigned at the site.
It should also be noted that decon water will not be transported off-site until all disposal/recycling
facility documentation has been reviewed and approved by the Client or their representative.
Transportation of the decon water from the site to the disposal/recycling facility will be in
accordance with all U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. EPA and MADEP regulations. Decon
water hauler(s) will be licensed in all states affected by the transport.
Chemical analyses shall be performed on behalf of the Client, as necessary, to fulfill any
disposal/recycling testing requirements of the approved facility. The decontamination water will be
sampled at the frequency specified by the disposal facility and for the parameters required for waste
acceptance at the facility. A copy of all chemical analyses results will be submitted to the Client
after receipt of the laboratory report.
10.2.4 Decon Pad Disposal
Once contaminated soils excavation activities within the Exclusion Zones have been completed, the
decon pad(s) will be disassembled and each component handled properly.
The stone base will be tested to determine the most appropriate end use or disposal method. The
HDPE liner will be pressure washed. It is anticipated that both materials will be reused and/or
disposed in a lined landfill. The geotextile will be properly disposed at a lined landfill.
10.3
Contamination Prevention
One of the most important aspects of decontamination is the prevention of contamination. Good
contamination prevention should minimize worker exposure and help ensure valid sample results
by precluding cross-contamination. Procedures for contamination avoidance include:
Personnel
o
Know the limitations of all PPE being used.
o
Do not walk through areas of obvious or known contamination.
o
Do not handle or touch contaminated materials directly. Do not sit or lean on
potentially contaminated surfaces.
DecontaminationPrnredures
Page 10-3
L: IWORKl40196\PROJ~phaseMvhasp.doc
0
Make sure all PPE does not have any cuts or tears prior to donning.
o
Fasten all closures on suits, covering with tape, if necessary.
o
Take particular care to protect any skin injuries.
o
Stay upwind of airborne contaminants.
o
Do not carry cigarettes, gum, food, or candy into contaminated areas.
o
Do not smoke, eat, or drink in contaminated areas.
o
Shower at the hotel or home, immediately upon arrival, at the end of the work day.
SamplingfMonitoring
o
Cover instruments with clear plastic, leaving openings for sampling ports, sensor
points.
o
Bag sample containers prior to placement of sample material into containers.
Heavy Equipment
o
Limit the surface area of equipment that comes into contact with contamination.
General
10.4
o
If contaminated tools are to be placed on non-contaminated equipment for transport
to the decontamination pad, use plastic to keep the non-contaminated equipment
clean.
o
Place spoils from subsurface work so as not to be in the expected paths of individuals.
o
Keep any excavated soils out of the way of workers.
Disposal Procedures
Discarded materials, waste materials, field equipment and supplies will be handled to preclude the
potential for spreading contamination, creating a sanitary hazard, or causing litter to be left on site.
Potentially contaminated materials, e.g., clothing, gloves, etc., will be bagged or drummed with
appropriate labeling affixed as regulated, and disposed of and shipped with other hazardous
materials. Non-contaminated materials shall be collected, bagged, and disposed of as simple nonhazardous solid waste.

hospital.
INGESTION:
Decontaminate and transport to emergency medical facility.
PUNCTURE
WOUND OR
LACERATION:
Decontaminate and transport to emergency medical facility. The
SSHO will provide medical data sheets to medical personnel as
requested.
12.7
Adverse Weather Conditions
In the event of adverse weather conditions, the SSHO will determine if work can continue without
endangering the health and safety of field workers. Some items to be considered before determining
if work should continue are:
o
Potential for heat stress and heat-related injuries.
o
Potential for cold stress and cold-related injuries.
o
Treacherous weather-related working conditions.
o
Limited visibility.
o
Potential for electrical storms.
12.7.1 Heat Stress
The SSHO shall continuously visually monitor personnel to note for signs of heat stress. In addition,
field personnel will be instructed to observe for symptoms of heat stress and methods on how to
control it. One or more of the following control measures can be used to help control heat stress:
Emergency
Preparedness
Page 12-3
Page 12-3
L. ~WORKI4OJ96~PROJ\phaseiv~hasp.doc
L:\WORK\40196PROJ~phaseivhasp.doc
o
Provision of adequate liquids to replace lost body fluids. Employees must replace
water and salt lost from sweating. Employees must be encouraged to drink more
than the amount required to satisfy thirst. Thirst satisfaction is not an accurate
indicator of adequate salt and fluid replacement.
o
Replacement fluids can be commercial mixes such as Gatorade.
o
Establishment of a work regime that will provide adequate rest periods for cooling
down. This may require additional shifts of workers.
o
Cooling devices such as vortex tubes or cooling vests can be worn beneath protective
garments.
o
All breaks are to be taken in a cool rest area (77* F is best).
o
Employees shall remove impermeable protective garments during rest periods.
o
Employees shall not be assigned other tasks during rest periods.
o
Employees shall be informed of the importance of adequate rest, acclimation, and
proper diet in the prevention of heat stress.
The heat stress of employees on-site may be monitored by the Wet Bulb Globe Temperature Index
(WBGT) technique when workers are not wearing protective coveralls (i.e. Tyvek). This method
will require the use of a heat stress monitoring device. Monitoring of personnel wearing impervious
clothing shall commence when the ambient temperature is 70 *F or above. This will be performed
by a person with a current first aid certification and who is trained to recognize symptoms of heat
stress.
12.7.2 Cold Exposure
If the field activities occur during a period when temperatures average below freezing, the following
guidelines will be followed.
Persons working outdoors in temperatures at or below freezing may be subject to frostbite. Extreme
cold for a short time may cause severe injury to the surface of the body, or result in profound
generalized cooling of the body core, resulting in coma and death. Areas of the body which have
high surface area-to-volume ratio such as fingers, toes, ears, are the most susceptible.
Two factors influence the development of a cold injury; ambient temperature and the velocity of the
wind. Wind chill is used to describe the chilling effect of moving air in combination with low
temperature. For instance, 10*F with a wind of 15 miles per hour (mph) is equivalent in chilling
effect to still air at - 8*F.
Emergency
Preparedness
Page J2-4
Page 12-4
L: ~WORK~4OJ961PROJlphase hA hasp. doe
L:\WORK\401961PROJ~phaseivlhasp.doc
As a general rule, the greatest incremental increase in wind chill occurs when a wind of 5 mph
increases to 10 mph. Additionally, water conducts heat 240 times faster than air. Thus, the body
cools suddenly when chemical-protective equipment is removed if the clothing underneath is
perspiration-soaked.
Local injury resulting from cold is included in the generic term frostbite. There are several degrees
of damage. Frostbite of the extremities can be categorized into:
o
Frost nip or incipient frostbite: Characterized by suddenly blanching or whitening
of skin.-
o
Superficial frostbite: Skin has a waxy or white appearance and is firm to the touch,
but tissue beneath is resilient.
o
Deep frostbite: Tissues are cold, pale, and solid; extremely serious injury.
Prevention of frostbite is vital. Keep the extremities warm. Wear insulated clothing as part of one's
protective gear during extremely cold conditions. Check for symptoms of frostbite at every break.
The onset is painless and gradual--you may never know you have been injured until it is too late.
To administer first aid for frostbite, bring the victim indoors and rewarm the areas quickly in water
between 39C and 41*C (102"F to 105*F). Give a warm drink-not coffee, tea, or alcohol. The victim
should not smoke. Keep the frozen parts in warm water or covered with warm clothes for 30
minutes, even though the tissue will be very painful as it thaws. Then elevate the injured area and
protect it from injury. Do not allow blisters to be broken. Use sterile, soft, dry material to cover the
injured areas. Keep victim warm and get immediate medical care.
After thawing, the victim should try to move the injured areas a little, but no more than can be done
alone (without help).
o
Do not rub the frostbitten part (this may cause gangrene).
o
Do not use ice, snow, gasoline, or anything cold on frostbite.
o
Do not use heat lamps or hot water bottles to rewarm the part.
o
Do not place the body part near a hot stove.
Systemic hypothermia is caused by exposure to freezing or rapidly dropping temperature. Its
symptoms are usually exhibited in five stages: 1) shivering; 2) apathy, listlessness, sleepiness, and
(sometimes) rapid cooling of the body to less than 95*F; 3) unconsciousness, glassy stare, slow
pulse, and slow respiratory rate; 4) freezing of the extremities; and, finally, 5) death.
Preparedness
Emergency
Page 12-S
Page 12-5
L. ~WORIO4OI96\PRO.Aphcne iv~ha.~p.dou
L:\WORK\40196PROJAphase ivhasp.doc
Effects arising from cold exposure will be minimized by providing workers with insulated clothing
when the equivalent chill temperature is less than 30*F. At minimum, workers exposed to
temperatures below -10* F with wind speeds of more than 5 miles per hour shall be medically
certified by the Physician as suitable for such exposure. The ultimate responsibility for delaying or
curtailing work at a site due to inclement weather rests with the SSHO.
12.8
Poison Ivy
If someone should come in contact with poison ivy, the individual should immediately wash the
affected area with the Ivy Cleaner provided in the first aid kit. If a rash develops, it should be treated
at a medical facility as soon as possible.
12.9
Snakes and Ticks
12.9.1 Snake Bite Prevention and First Aid
On project sites, precautions against the possible presence of snakes should be taken when walking
through overgrown vegetation and when moving debris (i.e. lumber, scrap metals, etc.). If someone
is bitten by a snake, and the snake bite occurs in a location that is within a I-hour drive of a medical
facility, a conservative approach is safest. Keeping the victim quiet, lying or sitting and reassuring
him/her is all that is required. He/she should be transported safely (no speeding) to the nearest
medical facility. In North America, death from snakebite to healthy adults is very rare. Many bites,
even from known poisonous snakes, do not result in a significant amount of venom being injected.
Even when significant envenomation occurs, symptoms develop slowly over many hours and can
be controlled with appropriate treatment. Field treatments advised against include ice, cutting, and
suction around the wound, and tourniquets. Studies indicate that ice leads to increased tissue
destruction. Cutting and sucking out the wound can be shown to offer some help if it is done with
the correct technique and equipment and if the victim has received a large dose of venom. In light
of the damage that can be done, the risk of such a procedure is too high. It is best to transport the
person immediately to a medical facility.
12.9.2 Tick Bite Prevention and First Aid
Routinely check for ticks after being outdoors. Remove ticks as soon as possible before they embed.
To minimize exposure, wear light-colored clothing so ticks can be detected. Tuck pants into boots
or socks and wear longsleeved shirts. Apply tick/insect repellent to clothing.
When a tick is found embedded, remove it by grasping it with a tweezers as close to the skin as
possible and gently pull it straight out. Do not twist or jerk the tick because the head may remain
embedded. Once the tick is removed, wash the bite area and your hands with soap and water and
apply an antiseptic to the bite. Save the tick in a jar labeled with the date and the place where the
tick was acquired. A physicianmay find this information and the tick specimen helpful in diagnosis
if an infection results.

12.10 Spill Containment and Countermeasures Plan
As indicated in this HASP, all work on potentially hazardous materials will occur in controlled work
zones. Further, there will be no significant quantities of hazardous substances, such as solvents,
involved in site activities. All vehicles and equipment will be properly maintained to minimize the
potential releases of oil, gasoline and other materials
The SSHO should be familiar with the notification requirements outlined in this HASP. In addition,
all subcontractor personnel can recognize spills, and know the links of communication for
notification.
Once a spill has been recognized and appropriate notifications have been made, the SSHO will
institute appropriate spill control and countermeasure measures. The following response principals
apply:
1.
Follow contingency and evacuation procedures in this plan.
2.
For spills less than 10 gallons, contain the spill to the smallest area possible, through the use
of adsorbents and site equipment to build berms. Prevent to the extent possible, the
migration of spills to nearby sewers, drainage structures, open waters, and other sensitive
human and environmental receptors.
3.
Conduct and complete the response in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal
regulations. Seek assistance in determining the extent and completeness of the spill
response from the Client and appropriate authorities.
4.
For spills 10 gallons or greater, contain the spill to the smallest area possible, as noted above.
Notify the appropriate emergency response contractor. Coordinate with the Client the
methods to be employed in collection, storage, and the ultimate disposal of all contaminated
materials. All applicable hazardous waste regulations will be adhered to.

Chemical Incompatibtlldes: Hazardous chemical reactions can occur between ethyl benzene and stong oxidizing agents, acids, nn
and bases. Conditions to Avoid Avoid any exposure to sources of ignition such as heat, spaks, open fame, and lighted tobacco products,
etc., and to inconpatible chemicals. Use caution when enteing confined spaces, particulady low-lying ares where explosive concentrations
of ethyl benzene vapor may be pesent. Provide good ventlation to such =as so prevent the conceuration of tis vapor. Hazardous Prodncts of Decomposition: Thermal-oxidative degradation can include toxic gases such as carbon nmooxide md/r aromatic hydrocarbon gases.
SECTION 6. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
:-
Carcinogenlity: Ethyl benzene is not listed as a carcinogen by the NTP. IARC. or OSHA
Summary of Risks Ethyl benzene vapor is severely iritating to the eyes and to the mucous membranes of the respiratory system. Sus tained inhalation of excessive levels can cause depression of the central nacrus system (CNS) characTized by dizziness, headache.
narcosis and com& Skin contact with liquid ethyl becne causes irritation dermatitis and defatting can also develop. The acute Ma! toxicity
of ethyl bezene is low; however, ingestion of it presents a serious aspiration hazard. Aspirating even a small amount into the lungs can
resultin extensive edema (ungs filled with fluid) and hemorrhaging of the lung tissue. No systemic effects are expected at the levels that
produce pronounced, unignorable, disagrecable skin and eye irriaton. The TLVs cited in section 2 ar set to prevent this intolerable
iritation. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: None reported Target Organs: Skin, eyes, respiratory system. and
CNS. Primary Entry: Inhalation, skin contact Acute Effects:
Irritation of the skin, eyes,
and respiratory system. Also, cardiac-rhythm dis-
tnrbance due to sensitization; acute bronchitis, broochospasm, pulmonary and laryngeal edema; cuphoia; headache; giddiness; dizziness;
and incoordination, as well as possible depression; confusion; and coma. Chronic Effects: None reported. First Aid: Eyes. Immediately

APPENDIX B
RESPIRATOR PROGRAM
APPENDIX B
RESPIRATOR PROGRAM
The following respirator program is in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 Respiratory
Protection Program requirements. This program governs the selection and use of respirators on-site.
Respirators for the Earth Tech field sampling team will be provided by Earth Tech. The respirator
protection program will be administered by, and is the responsibility of the HSS and/or SSHO for
the site. Contractors and their subcontractors will furnish their own respirators and medical
surveillance for their employees. The HSS and/or SSHO will be responsible for ensuring that they
are in compliance with this respirator program.
The respirators will be selected according to the hazard and level of protection determined by
monitoring action levels and the decision of the HSS and/or the SSHO. The respirators and levels
are:
Level
Respirator
B
Positive Pressure-Pressure Demand SCBA or Supplied Air Respirator with 5minute escape bottle.
C
Full-face air purifying respirator with combination dust (HEPA) and organic
vapor/acid gas cartridge. The full facepiece respirator with combination dust and
organic vapor/acid gas cartridge will be appropriate for the dust conditions and
organics that may be encountered.
D
No respirator required.
The respirator users will be fit tested with the size, style, and make of the respirator they will be
using on-site. The fit test will be recorded and these Fit Test Records win be maintained in the
Command Post.
Employee respirator training is provided on an annual basis and at site-specific training sessions.
This training includes:
o
o
A discussion of the nature of the respiratory hazards and the dangers if the respirator is
not used properly.
The reasons that respirators are required for protection, along with any engineering
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
controls that may be used.
Instructions in the selection, use, sanitary care, maintenance, proper storage, and
limitation of the full facepiece respirator with combination cartridge, and the SCBA.
Practice in proper fitting, wearing, adjusting, and checking face seal of the respirator.
An opportunity to handle the respirator.
Instruction on how to recognize and cope with emergency situations requiring respiratory
protection.
Explanation of the requirements for a self-contained breathing device for work in
unknown concentrations and Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH)
atmosphere and for fire fighting.
Explanation of the medical surveillance program and how it relates to respirator use.
Explanation of the requirements for maintaining a tight seal, why beard and facial hair
is prohibited, and why use of contact lenses while wearing respirators is prohibited.
Respirators will be assigned to individual workers. Each individual shall be responsible for cleaning
and maintaining their assigned respirator and documenting this using the Respirator Service Log
presented in Appendix C. They will be cleaned and disinfected before being reassigned. Respirators
will be cleaned after each day of work according to manufacturer's instructions. The cleaning will
be done at the Command Post. Used cartridges will be disposed of and replaced with new ones.
After cleaning, the respirators will be inspected and checked for defects such as excessive dirt, cracks
or other distortions, scratches, incorrectly mounted lens, broken or worn cartridge holders on the
facepiece, breaks, loss of elasticity, broken buckles, and excessively worn serrations on head harness
that may cause slippage on the headstraps or head harness.
Further checks include:
o
o
o
o
A check of the tightness of the connections.
A check of the facepiece, valves, connecting tube, and canisters.
A check of the regulator and warning devices on SCBA for proper functioning.
For air purifying:
Check the exhalation valve after removing its cover for:
o
o
o
"
Foreign material, such as detergent residue, dust particles, or human hair under
the valve seat.
Cracks, tears, or distortion in the valve material.
Improper insertion of the valve body in the facepiece.
Cracks, breaks, or chips in the valve body, particularly in the sealing surface.
o
Missing or defective valve cover.
o
Improper installation of the valve in the valve body.
Check the air purifying elements for:
o
Incorrect cartridges, canister, or filter for the hazard.
o
Incorrect installation, loose connections, missing or worn gaskets, or cross
threading in holder.
o
Expired shelf life of cartridge or canister.
o
Cracks, dents, or breaks in the cartridge or canisters case.
o
Evidence of prior use of cartridge or canister, such as broken seal tape foil or
other sealing material.
0
For air supplied respirators, check the air supply system for:
o
o
o
Integrity and condition of air supply lines and hoses, including attachments and
end fitting.
Correct operation and condition of all regulators, valves, or other air-flow
regulators.
If SCBA, that the cylinder is sufficiently charged for the intended use, preferably
fully charged (mandatory on an emergency device). The emergency SCBA will
have a tag for logging in the monthly inspections.
Monitoring of the work area will be performed and the results will be used to select the appropriate
level of protection. Refer to air monitoring section of the HASP (Section 9.0).
This Respirator Program will be re-evaluated and revisions and updates added regularly.
Persons will not be assigned to tasks requiring the use of respirators unless it has been determined
that they are physically able to perform the work and use the equipment. The Earth Tech-contracted
physician will determine what health and physical conditions are pertinent.
Only those respirators jointly approved by NIOSH/MSHA shall be used. All component parts (i.e.,
canister, replacement straps, etc.) will be of the same make.
All Earth Tech employees shall document their respirator use time on the Record of Respiratory
Wear Log presented in Appendix C. This record shall be submitted to the HSS on a weekly basis.

APPENDIX D
BACKUP CALCULATIONS FOR ACTION LEVELS
APPENDIX D
BACKUP CALCULATIONS FOR ACTION LEVELS
Action Levels have been established for the protection of workers from potential health hazards
associated with chemicals, dust and oxygen deficient atmospheres. The justification for these Action
Levels is provided below.
Organic Vapors, Gasoline and Other Petroleum Products
An Action Level for use of respiratory protection of 0.5 ppm for will be used due to the possibility
of encountering benzene. At a concentration of 5 ppm, as measured with the photoionization
detector (PID), length-of-stain indicator tube sampling for benzene will begin to determine the level
of benzene in the breathing zone. Level C respiratory protection (i.e., full face air-purifying
respirator) will be required if benzene concentrations are above 0.5 ppm. Level B protection is
required when benzene concentrations are above 5 ppm, respectively. The Protection Factor (PF)
for a full face air-purifying respirator is 50. Therefore, the upper limit for use of cartridge respirators
of 5 ppm benzene (above this level, Level B will be used) produces a maximum exposure level, in
the face piece of 0.1 ppm benzene; which provides a 10 times margin of safety below the benzene
PEL of 1 ppm.
The PEL for gasoline (TPH) is 300 ppm; the PELs for fuel oil (as Stoddard solvent), xylenes and
ethylbenzene are 100 ppm each; the PEL for toluene is 50 ppm, and the PEL for MTBE is 40 ppm.
Level C respiratory protection (e.g., full-face air -purifying respirator) will be required if PID
concentrations are above 20 ppm. Based on PF of 50 for full-face air-purifying respirators and a
maximum use concentration of 100 ppm, the maximum exposure level within the face piece would
be 2 ppm. This provides a 150 times margin of safety for gasoline (as TPH); a 50 times margin of
safety for fuel oil (as Stoddard Solvent), xylenes, and ethylbenzene; a 25 times margin of safety for
toluene; and a 20 times margin of safety for MTBE below their respective PELs.
The fence line Action Levels are 1 ppm above background sustained for one minute (i.e., detectable
VOCs) as measured with the PID.
