_ conclusions.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Information concerning site location, site description, site geology and hydrogeology, and project
history is presented in the following subsections.
Project Location
The project site is located at 3315 Pierce Road in the City of Bakersfield, Kern County,
California. The site is situated east of State Route 99 and north of State Route 178 and is
bounded by Pierce Road on the east, by State Route 99 on the west, and by industrial
development on the north and south. The site is within Section 23, Township 29 South, Range
27 East, Mount Diablo Baseline and Meridian (see Vicinity Map, Figure 1).
Site Description
The site is level, paved with asphaltic and Portland cement concrete, and enclosed with chain
link fencing. There are three structures on the site. A 4,300 square foot metal warehouse
building is located in the northeast portion of the site. The warehouse was vacant at the time
of BSK & Associates' (BSK) site reconnaissance on August 5, 1993. Other structures include
a metal storage shed located near the northwest corner of the property and a wood-frame garage
near the southeast corner of the property. A water well is located at the northwest property
corner. The well is not in use and appears to be capped. The site is within the service area of
California Water Service Company. Sanitary sewage generated from site operations is
discharged into a septic system located on the north side of the warehouse building. According
to the owner, the septic system is not connected to the shallow disposal well (see Figure 2).
The shallow disposal well (system) is located behind the northwest corner of the warehouse
building. The system consists of a two-stage subsurface clarifier system connected to a 4-inch
diameter cast iron horizontal discharge pipe. The discharge pipe is buried approximately 3 feet
below grade and extends for a distance of approximately 25 feet westward along the north
BSK JOB B93086 - September 28, 1993 & Assooates
Site Assessment Report - Cull,,,=,Oroperty - EMO 50566 Page q
property line. The discharge line is connected to a 4-inch diameter Orangeberg pipe leach line
which extends southward for a distance of approximately 90 feet.
Site Geology and Hydrology
The site is located within the San Joaquin Valley of the Great Valley geomorphic province of
California. Near-surface site soils consist of sand and sandy silt which are Quaternary alluvial
deposits of the Kern River, located approximately one-half mile east of the site. Well soundings
from the on-site water well indicate that first encountered groundwater occurs at a depth of
approximately 30 feet below site grade. Regional groundwater flow direction is southwest at
a nearly flat hydraulic gradient.
Site History
Information concerning the site history was obtained from our interview with the property
owner, a review of the City Directories at the Kern County Library, and of historical aerial
photographs of the site.
The site was used tbr agricultural purposes from sometime during the 1930's until 1955.
Review of an aerial photograph dated 1937 depicted the site as a small vineyard with what
appears to be a single family residence located in the southeast portion of the site. The
warehouse structure was constructed on the site sometime during 1955 and has been utilized by
various types of businesses since that time. Businesses that have occupied the site since 1955
are presented in Table 1.

Project History
KCEHSD, in conjunction with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region IX, is
concerned that disposal of industrial wastewater into shallow disposal well systems has the
potential to degrade the water quality of the unconfined aquifer which underlies the city and
serves as the primary source of drinking water for the community. Because industrial waste
streams commonly consist of organic and inorganic compounds, KCEHSD has required that
owners of property known to be equipped with these types of systems demonstrate that the soil
beneath the system components has not been impacted by organic and inorganic constituents.
The proper~ owners were notified by KCEHSD on March 23, 1993 that, as owners of a
property, known to be the site of a shallow disposal well system, they must obtain sludge and
liquid samples from the system and analyze the samples for specified organic and inorganic
compounds. The property owners retained the services of BSK to conduct a preliminary
sampling and testing investigation (preliminary investigation).

Site Assessment Report - Culie A ~perty - EMO 50566
BSK obtained liquid and sludge samples from the clarifiers on April 9, 1993, under the direction
of Mr. Terry Gray of KCEHSD. The samples were analyzed by BSK Analytical Laboratories
for volatile organic compounds, total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline and diesel, total
recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons, and CCR Title 22 Metals. In addition, a California Waste
Extraction Test (WET) was performed for barium, cadmium, copper, and lead to assess the
soluble concentration of these metals. Analytical results of the preliminary testing are presented
in Tables 2 and 3. Laboratory test results are presented in Appendix A.

Based on results of the preliminary investigation, KCEHSD requested that the property owners
conduct a site assessment study to assess the presence and/or extent of soluble lead in soils
underlying the system. The property owner requested BSK to prepare a workplan and conduct
a site assessment.
INVESTIGATIVE PROCEDURES
The investigation consisted of field and laboratory studies. Details of each phase are
summarized below. Technical procedures used for equipment decontamination, soil sampling,
analytical testing, and quality control are presented in Appendix C.
Liquid and Sludge Removal
Prior to commencement of drilling and sampling, the liquid and sludge contained in the clarifiers ·
was removed. Because the sludge contained concentrations of soluble lead exceeding the
maximum allowable soluble threshold limit concentration (STLC) as determined by using the
WET set forth in Cai. Code Regs.,tit.22,§66261.24.(2)(A), liquid and sludge was disposed as
hazardous waste. Liquid and sludge was pumped into a vacuum truck by Advanced Cleanup
Technologies, Inc. (ACT) of Bakersfield and transported by ACT to the DeMenno/Kerdoon
Recycling Facility located in Compton, California. Prior to transport of the hazardous waste,
the property owner was assigned an EPA generator identification number and the material was
manifested as hazardous waste. A copy of the waste manifest and bill of lading is presented in
Appendix D.
Exploratory Boring and Sampling Locations
Seven exploratory borings were drilled on the site on August 27, 1993. Borings were located
adjacent to each clarifier and at 20 toot increments along the leach line. Concrete pavement at
the location of the clarifiers was removed by coring. A boring was located approximately
60 feet east of the leach line to obtain a soil sample to be tested for background level of soluble
lead at the site. Two undisturbed soil samples were collected at each boring location. Soil
samples were collected at depths of one foot and five feet beneath the leach line and clarifiers.
Boring and sampling locations are shown on Figure 3.
BSK JOB B93086 - September 28, 1993 & Associates
Site Assessment Report - Cul~roperty - EMO 50566 Page 8
Laboratory Analysis of Soil Samples
Soil samples collected from Boring B-1 at 4 feet, B-2 at 4 feet and 8 feet, B-3 at 4 feet and
8 feet, B-5 at 7.5 feet and 11.5 feet, B-6 at 7 feet and 11 feet, and B-7 at 10 feet were analyzed
for soluble lead by the California Waste Extraction Test (WET) Method by BSK Analytical
Laboratories. At the request of Ms. Darling of KCEHSD, other soil samples collected during
the field investigation were held by BSK for future testing pending analytical results of the
aforementioned samples.
FINDINGS
Soil Profile
Site subsurface soils, to the maximum explored depth of 11.5 feet, generally consist of silty sand
to a depth of 5 feet underlain by poorly graded sand. Detailed descriptions of soil types are
included in the Logs of Borings in Appendix A.
Results of Soil Sample Analyses
Analytical results of chemical testing of the soil samples submitted for testing revealed soluble
lead below the method detection limit of 0.2mg/L. Analytical testing of a background soil
sample for soluble lead revealed background levels below the method detection limit.
Laboratory documentation is presented in Appendix B.
EVALUATION
Results of analyses of soil samples collected from beneath the leach line and clarifiers for soluble
lead revealed concentrations of soluble lead below the method detection limit in the soil samples
tested. Based on the results of the soil samples tested, it would appear that the subsurface soils
wellat the site have not been impacted by leachate discharge from the shallow disposal system
and that the potential for groundwater degradation resulting from past use of the system is low.

Site Assessment Report - - EMO 50566 Page 9
CONCLUSIONS
On the basis of our evaluation of the findings, we present the following conclusions.
o Soil profile at the site consists of silty sand underlain by
poorly graded sand to the maximum explored depth of 11.5
feet.
First encountered groundwater is believed to occur under
unconfined conditions at a depth of approximately 30 feet.
Soluble lead was not detected in the soil samples obtained
from beneath the leach line and clariflers.
o The existing system should be abandoned in conformance
with county guidelines.
RECOMMENDATIONS
BSK recommends that the existing shallow disposal system be abandoned in conformance with
county guidelines to prevent future discharges into the system. The clarifiers should be filled
to a depth of approximately one toot below slab grade with a clean sand slurry and then sealed
with a concrete cap.
LIMITATIONS
Findings presented in this report are based on data obtained from our field and laboratory
investigations. The report does not reflect variations which may exist between exploratory
boring locations and sampling points. Such variations cannot be anticipated nor may they be
entirely accounted for in spite of exhaustive additional testing.

FIELD SAx¥[PLING AND TESTING PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
This appendix presents soil sampling and analytical procedures utilized for a site assessment to
assess the presence and extent of soluble lead in soil beneath an existing shallow disposal well
system at 3315 Pierce Road in Bakersfield, California. Field and laboratory investigations were
conducted in accordance with the project workplan and the procedures described below.
SOIL SAMPLING
Exploratory Boring Locations
Exploratory soil borings were drilled at the locations described in the project work'plan. Prior
to drilling in paved areas, concrete pavement was removed by coring.
Undisturbed soil samples were obtained at each boring location at depths of one to two feet and
at five feet below the bottom of the clarifiers and below the invert elevation of the leach line.
Soil Sampling Methods
A BSK geologist was on site to coordinate the work, to take custody of the soil samples, and
to log the soil types encountered during boring operations. Soil types were visually described
in accordance with the Unified Soils Classification System and noted on boring logs with
penetration blow counts and other pertinent data.
BSK JOB 893086 - September 28, 1993 & Associates
Appendix C - Field Sampling Procedures Page 2
Drilling was performed using a truck-mounted drill rig equipped with hollow-stem augers. Soil
samples were collected with a California split spoon sampler lined with stainless steel tubes and
driven through the center of the hollow-stem auger. The lowermost sample tube collected in the
split spoon sampler was retained for chemical analyses. Ends of the sample tubes were sealed
with Teflon film, covered with plastic caps, labeled, and sealed with a waterproof tape with
non-petroleum adhesive. Samples were identified by project number, sample number, date and
time of sampling, sampling personnel name, and requested analyses. Soil samples were stored
in an ice chest maintained at or near a temperature of 4°C and shipped to BSK's California
Department of Health Services Certified laboratory in Fresno, California. Samples were
accompanied by a chain-of-custody form. Chain-of-custody documentation included sampler's
name, sample identification information, requested analyses, and times and dates of custody
transfers.
Equipment Decontamination
Drill bits, auger flights, and other ancillary drilling and sampling equipment were cleaned with
a high pressure hot water washer prior to drilling and between each boring location. Between
soil sampling events, samplers were disassembled and washed in a solution of laboratory grade
detergent, rinsed with clean water, and reassembled with clean sample tubes to minimize the
potential for cross contamination between sampling events. Decontamination methods and
equipment used were documented by the field geologist.
Soil Cuttings Disposition
Soil cuttings generated during boring operations were used to backfill the boreholes, upon
completion of each boring. Spent soil samples from laboratory analyses were retained for a
period of 30 days from the date of analysis and were disposed of in accordance with applicable
state and federal regulations after that time period.
Field Logs/Documentation
Soil sampling operations, site and equipment conditions, variances from specified sampling
procedures, field observations, instrument readings and measurements, equipment and personnel
BSK JOB B93086 - September 28, 1993 & Associates
Appendix C - Field Sampling aa~Testing Procedures Page 3
decontamination procedures, and soil sampling depths and locations were documented by the
field geologist on prepared BSK forms. These forms are retained in the project records.
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory Analyses
Soil samples were analyzed for soluble lead by the California Waste Extraction Test (WET)
method set forth in Cai. Code Regs.,tit. 3,§66261.126 Appendix II.
Laboratory Quality Control
Internal quality control checks used by the analytical laboratory to validate data included the
following:
Calibration Check Standard - A calibration check standard containing all of the
analytes to be measured, internal standard, and surrogates was performed at the
beginning of each day.
Instrument Performance Criteria Instrument performance criteria was
demonstrated every 12 hours in conformance with performance criteria defined
in EPA methods.
Matrix Spike - Matrix spikes to measure analytical accuracy were analyzed at a
rate of one for every ten samples analyzed. If calculated spike recoveries did not
fall within acceptable ranges, corrective action was taken before further analyses
was performed.
Analysis of Duplicate Samples - Duplicate samples were analyzed at a rate of one
for every ten samples analyzed to measure analytical precision.
Control Charts - Control charts prepared for each parameter determined by a
method were supplied to each laboratory analyst to assess whether recoveries
were within acceptable limits.
Internal Standards - A known concentration of internal standard was added to
every standard, blank, and sample which was analyzed for organic parameters to
compensate for minor fluctuations in instrument response.
Surrogate Standards - Samples were spiked with a surrogate closely related to the
compound of interest before sample preparation.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Project Location
The project site is located at 3315 Pierce Road in the City of Bakersfield, Kern County,
California. The site is situated east of State Route 99 and north of State Route 178 and is
bounded by Pierce Road on the east, by State Route 99 on the west, and by industrial
development on the north and south. The site is within Section 23, Township 29 South, Range
27 East, Mount Diablo Baseline and Meridian (see Vicinity Map, Figure 1).
Site Description
The site is level, paved with asphaltic and Portland cement concrete, and enclosed with chain
link fencing. There are three structures on the site. A 4,300 square foot metal warehouse
building is located in the northeast portion of the site. The warehouse was vacant at the time
of BSK's site reconnaissance on August 5, 1993. Other structures include a metal storage shed
located near the northwest corner of the property and a wood-frame garage near the southeast

~use and appears to be capped. The site is within the service area of California Water
Service Company. Sanitary sewage generated from site operations is discharged into a septic
system located on the north side of the warehouse building. The septic system is not connected
to the shallow injection well (see Figure 2).
The shallow injection well (system) is located behind the northwest corner of the warehouse
building. The system consists of a two-stage subsurface clarifier system connected to a 4-inch
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
Workplan and Health and Safe'lan - Cullen Property - EMO 50566 Page 3
diameter cast iron horizontal discharge pipe. The discharge pipe is buried approximately 3 feet
below grade and extends for a distance of approximately 25 feet westward along the north
property line. The discharge line is connected to a 4-inch diameter Orangeberg pipe leach line
which extends southward for a distance of approximately 90 feet. At the time of our site
reconnaissance both clarifiers contained standing water.
Site History
Information concerning the site history was obtained from our interview with the property
owner, a review of the City Directories at the Kern County Library, and of historical aerial
photographs of the site.
The site was used for agricultural purposes from sometime during the 1930's until 1955.
Review of an aerial photograph dated 1937 depicted the site as a small vineyard with what
appears' to be a single family residence located in the southeast portion of the site. The
warehouse structure was constructed on the site sometime during 1955 and has been utilized by
various types of businesses since that time. Businesses that have occupied the site since 1955
are presented in Table 1.
Site Geology and Hydrology
The site is located within the San ]oaquin Valley of the Great Valley geomorphic province of
California. Near-surface site soils consist of sand and sandy silt, Quaternary alluvial deposits
of the Kern River which is located approximately one-half mile east of the site. Water well
information obtained from California Water Service Company indicates that first encountered
groundwater occurs in unconfined aquifer conditions at a depth of approximately 125 feet in the
vicinity of the site. x~.~. ~
Project History
KCEHSD in conjunction with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region IX, is
concerned that disposal of industrial wastewater into shallow injection well systems has the
potential to degrade the water quality of the unconfined aquifer which underlies the city and
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
Work'plan and Health and Safety Plan - Cullen Property - EMO 50566 Page 4
- serves as the primary source of drinking water for the community. Because industrial waste
streams commonly consist of organic and inorganic compounds, KCEHSD has required that
owners of property known to be equipped with these types of systems demonstrate that the soil
beneath the system components has not been impacted by organic and inorganic constituents.
The property owners were notified by KCEHSD on March 23, 1993 that, as owners of a
· property known to be the site of a shallow injection well system, that they must obtain sludge
and liquid samples from the system and analyze the samples for specified organic and inorganic
compounds. The property owners retained the services of BSK to conduct a preliminary
sampling and testing investigation (preliminary investigation).
BSK obtained liquid and sludge samples from the clarifiers on April 9, 1993 under the direction
of Mr. Terry Gray of KCEHSD. The samples were analyzed by BSK Analytical Laboratories
f~ compounds, total petroleum hydrocarbons as__g_asoline and diesel, to.....~
recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons, and CCR Title 22 Metals. In addition, a California Waste
Extraction Test (WET) was performed for barium, cadmium, copper, and lead to assess the
soluble concentration of these metals. Analytical results of the preliminary testing are presented
in Tables 2 and 3. Laboratory test results are presented in Appendix A.
Based on results of the preliminary investigation, KCEHSD requested that the property owners
conduct a site assessment study to assess the presence and/or extent of soluble lead in soils
underlying the system. The property owner has requested BSK to prepare a workplan and
conduct a site assessment.
TECHNICAL WORKPLAN
Upon approval of this work'plan by KCEHSD, BSK will conduct a field and laboratory
investigation to assess the extent of soluble lead in subsurface soils at the location of the on-site
system. Technical approach will consist of removing the existing liquid and sludge from the
system, drilling exploratory soil borings, obtaining undisturbed soil samples, and analytical
testing of soil samples for soluble lead. Descriptions of methodologies for each of these tasks
BSK ;rob B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associate_'
Work'plan and Health and Safe~l~lan - Cullen Property - EMO 50566 Page 5
_ are presented in the following subsections. Detailed procedures for soil sampling and analytical
testing are included in Appendix B.
Liquid and Sludge Removal
Prior to commencement of drilling and sampling, the liquid and sludge contained in the clarifiers
will be removed. Because the sludge is known to contain concentrations of soluble lead
exceeding the maximum allowable soluble threshold limit concentration (STLC) as determined
by using the WET set forth in Cai. Code Regs.,tit.22,§66261.24(2)(A), liquid and sludge will
be disposed of as hazardous waste. Material will be pumped into a vacuum truck and
transported by a licensed hazardous material hauler to the DeMenno/Kerdoon Recycling Facility
located in Compton, California. Prior to transport of the hazardous waste, the property owner
will be assigned an EPA generator identification number and the material will be manifested as
hazardous waste. It will be the responsibility of the property owner to obtain an EPA generator
identification number and to sign all manifests. BSK will not be responsible for the transport
or disposal of hazardous materials generated as part of the investigation.
Field Investigation
The field investigation will consist of drilling exploratory borings and obtaining soil samples for
analytical testing. A BSK geologist will be on site to coordinate the work, to take custody of
the soil samples, and to log the soil types encountered during boring operations. Soil types will
be described in accordance with the Unified Soils Classification System.
Soil borings will be drilled adjacent to each clarifier and at 20-foot increments along the leach
line to assess the presence and extent of soluble lead in the soil beneath the system components.
Soil samples will be obtained at depths of one to two feet and at five feet beneath the invert
elevations of the components. A soil sample will also be obtained at a depth of one to two feet
at a location away from the system and tested for soluble lead to assess the background level of
lead at the site. Concrete pavement in the area of the clarifiers will be removed by sawing
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
Work'plan and Health and Safe~Plan - Cullen Property - EMO 50566 Page 6
- prior to drilling. It will be the responsibility of the property owner to repair the saw-cut areas.
Proposed soil boring and sampling locations are shown on Figure 3.
Laboratory Investigation
Soil samples S-! and S-3 to be obtained from a depth of one to two feet beneath each clarifier
and sample S-5 to be obtained at the fn'st location along the leach line will be tested for soluble
lead using the WET method. If analytical results indicate levels of soluble lead below the
method detection limit at these locations and depths, no further testing of soil samples will be
performed and the results will be reported to KCEHSD. In the event that analytical results
indicate detectable concentrations of soluble lead in the samples tested, further testing of the
remaining soil samples will be performed to assess the presence and extent of soluble lead..
Site Assessment Report
Upon completion of the field and laboratory phases of the investigation, a s~essment report
will be prepared. The report will include a summary of the analytical data, boring logs, the
extent of contamination (if present), a work'plan for additional site characterization (if necessary),
and the proposed methodology for abandonment of the system if no significant contamination
is found.
Project Schedule
It is anticipated that the field investigation would commence within one week after approval of
this workplan by KCEHSD. Laboratory analysis of soil samples will require approximately ten
working days from the time of submittal. A site assessment report will be submitted to the
client approximately two weeks after receiving results of the soil analyses. The preliminary
project schedule is presented in Table No. 4.
LIMITATIONS
The scope of work presented in this workplan is based on the assumption that site features and
conditions do not deviate significantly from the information provided to BSK by the client. This
workplan is presented with the understanding that it is the client's responsibility to transmit the
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
Work'plan and Health and Safe~Plan - Cullen Property - EMO 50566 Page 7
information contained herein to the appropriate regulatory agency and property owner for
approval prior to commencement of our investigation. It will be the responsibility of the client
to identify existing underground systems and features prior to commencement of drilling
operations. BSK will not be responsible for damage to subsurface features or to the environment
resulting from our drilling at locations approved by the property owner.
Execution of the scope of work outlined in this proposal may result in the generation of
hazardous materials. BSK will not be responsible for the generation, manifestation,
transportation, or disposal of hazardous materials. Hazardous materials generated by the work
would remain the responsibility of the property owner.
This workplan has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted engineering practices
for the area, based on the guidelines of federal and local jurisdictions. This workplan has been
prepared for the sole use of BSK and our client. No warranties, express or implied, are made.

FIELD SAMPLING AND TESTING PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
This appendix presents soil sampling and analytical procedures to be utilized for a site
assessment to assess the presence and extent of soluble lead in soil beneath an existing shallow
disposal well system at 3315 Pierce Road in Bakersfield, California. Field and laboratory
investigations will be conducted in accordance with the procedures described below.
SOIL SAMPLING
Exploratory Boring Locations
Exploratory soil borings will be located as described in the project workplan. Prior to drilling
in paved areas, concrete pavement will be removed by sawing. Two working days prior to
commencement of the work, Underground Services Alert will be notified and on-site
underground utilities will be identified and indicated.
Undisturbed soil samples will be obtained at each boring location at depths of one to two feet
and at five feet below the bottom of the clarifiers and below the invert elevation of the leach
line.
Soil Sampling Methods
A BSK geologist will be on site to coordinate the work, to take custody of the soil samples, and
to log soil types encountered during boring operations. Soil types will be visually described in
accordance with the Unified Soils Classification System and noted on boring logs with
penetration blow counts and other pertinent data.
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
Appendix B - Field Sampling a~Testh~g Procedures Page 2
_ Drilling will be performed by a truck-mounted drill rig equipped with hollow-stem augers. Soil
samples will be collected with a California split spoon sampler lined with stainless steel tubes
and driven through the center of the hollow-stem auger. The lowermost sample tube collected
in the split spoon sampler will be retained for chemical analyses. Ends of the sample tubes will
be sealed with Teflon fLlm, covered with plastic caps, labeled, and sealed with a waterproof tape
with non-petroleum adhesive. Samples will be identified by project number, sample number,
date and time of sampling, sampling personnel name, and requested analyses. Soil samples will
be stored in an ice chest maintained at or near a temperature of 4°C and shipped to BSK's
California Department of Health Services certified laboratory in Fresno, California. Samples
will be accompanied by a chain-of-custody form. Chain-of-custody documentation will include
sampler's name, sample identification information, requested analyses, and times and dates of
custody transfers.
Equipment Decontamination
Drill bits, auger flights, and other ancillary equipment will be cleaned with a high pressure hot
water washer prior to drilling and between each boring location. Between soil sampling events,
s_amplers will be disassembled and washed in a solution of laboratory grade detergent, rinsed
with clean water, and reassembled with clean sample tubes to minimize the potential for cross
contamination between sampling events. Decontamination metho~ and equipment used will be
documented by the field geologist.
Soil Cuttings Disposition
Soil cuttings generated during boring operations will be used to baclcfill the boreholes upon
completion of each boring. Spent soil samples from laboratory analyses will be retained for a
period of 30 days from the date of analysis and will be disposed of in accordance with applicable
state and federal regulations after that time period has elapsed.
Field Logs/Documentation
Soil sampling operations, site and equipment conditions, variances from specified sampling
procedures, field observations, instrument readings and measurements, equipment and personnel
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
Appendix B - Field SampLing ~Festing Procedures Page 3
decontamination procedures, and soil sampling depths and locations will be documented by the
field geologist on prepared BSK forms. These forms will be retained in the project records.
LABORATORY TESTING
Laboratory Analyses
Soil samples will be analyzed for soluble lead by the California Waste Extraction Test (WET)
method set forth in Cal. Code Regs.,tit.3,§66261.126 Appendix II,
Laboratory Quali~ Control
Internal quality control checks that will be used by the analytical laboratory to validate data will
include the following:
Calibration Check Standard - A calibration check standard containing all of the
analytes to be measured, internal standard, and surrogates will be performed at
the beginning of each day.
Instrument Performance Criteria - Instrument performance criteria will be
demonstrated every 12 hours in conformance with performance criteria def'med
in EPA methods.
Matrix Spike - Matrix spikes to measure analytical accuracy will be analyzed at
a rate of one for every ten samples analyzed. If calculated spike recoveries do
not fall within acceptable ranges, corrective action will be taken before further
analyses are performed.
Analysis of Duplicate Samples - Duplicate samples will be run at a rate of one
for every ten samples analyzed to measure analytical precision.
Control Charts - Control charts prepared for each parameter determined by a
method will be supplied to each laboratory analyst to assess whether recoveries
are within acceptable limits.
Internal Standards - A known concentration of internal standard will be added
to every standard, blank, and sample which is analyzed for organic parameters
to compensate for minor fluctuations in instrument response.
Surrogate Standards - Samples will be spiked with a surrogate which is closely
related to the compound of interest before sample preparation.

Appendix C - Health and Saf¢ll~n Page 6
JOB HAZARD ANALYSIS
Potential chemical hazards include those associated with exposure to lead in soil. Physical
hazards that may be encountered on site include those from drill rig operations, cold or heat
stress, noise, underground and overhead utilities, on-site traffic, and equipment failures.
Lead
Workers may be exposed to lead in soil and dust generated from drilling and sampling
operations. 'Exposure to lead should be minimized because of its toxic effect on humans. The
current National Institute For Health and Safety (NIOSH) Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) for
lead in the breathing atmosphere is <0.01 mg/m3 based on a 10-hour time weighted average
(TWA). Principal exposure routes for lead are inhalation, skin or eye contact, and ingestion.
Symptoms of lead exposure include: eye irritation, lassitude, and pallor.
Skin contact with potentially contaminated soil or groundwater will be minimized by wearing
personal protective clothing. Ingestion of contaminated materials will be minimized by good
personal hygiene during work (i.e., thoroughly washing face and hands with soap and water
before eating or drinking).
First aid for exposure to lead is:
Eye: Flush the affected eye with water and seek medical assistance if irritation develops.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and flush contact areas with water and then
thoroughly cleanse contact area by washing with soap and water. If irritation
develops seek medical attention.
Breath: IF VICTI31 IS NOT BREATHING OR IF BREATHING DIFFICULTIES
DEVELOP ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION OR OXYGEN SHOULD BE
ADM.hNISTERED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
Swallow: Seek immediate medical assistance.
Noise Hazards
The primary noise hazard at this site is from the drilling equipment which may produce
continuous and impact noise at or above the OSHA PEL in the immediate proximity of the
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
AppendLx C - Health and Safety Page 7
equipment. Personnel within 25 feet of drill rigs shall wear hearing protective devices (either
muffs or plugs).
Drill Rig Hazards
Safe work practices for drill rig operation include:
o When moving a drill rig off-road, pay particular attention to
obstacles in the route of travel. Walk the route fa'st.
o Providing an assistant to guide the driver when in close proximity to
hazards or if clearance is at a minimum.
o Setting the brakes and/or blocking the wheels when the mast is raised.
o Lowering the mast when moving the rig.
o Confn'ming the status of utilities (energized, charged, etc.) prior to
drilling. Call Underground Service Alert (800-642-2444) to locate
underground utilities.
o Considering overhead lines to be energized. Watching for low
overhead lines when entering a site; and call the utility for assistance
in moving them.
o Operating the drill rig at least 15 feet from overhead lines; checking
with local utility compames to confirm line voltage and distance
requirements.
o Clearing the site of obstructions, debris, etc., prior to setting up the
drill rig.
o Maintaining proper "housekeeping" around and on the drill rig at all
times. Tools should be stored in a manner that permits convenient
access but also provides for personnel safety.
o Keeping platforms, walkways and scaffolding free of obstructions and
excess grease or oil that could cause a surface to become slick and
dangerous.
o Storing gasoline and other flammable substances only in approved
storage containers equipped with spark arresters.
o Inspecting drill rig equipment prior to starting work; repairing or
replacing faulty items.
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
Appendix C - Health and Safety Page
o Handling augers with care. Using proper lifting technique; use a tool
- hoist for large or heavy augers. Staying clear of rotating augers and
machinery.
o Leveling and stabilizing the drill rig prior to raising the mast and prior
to drilling.
o Watching for slippery surfaces when mounting or dismounting the
platform.
o Covering or barricading unattended boreholes.
o Avoiding drilling during electrical storms.
Underground Utilities and Overhead Obstructions
BSK will attempt to locate underground utilities prior to the commencement of drilling activities.
Resources will include site plans, underground utility diagrams provided by the owner, and hand
augering prior to drilling. Care will be exercised when moving the drill rig and other equipment
in areas where overhead obstructions are present.
Traffic Hazards
Traffic cones and/or barricades shall be used to delineate the work/exclusion zone.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Minimum PPE for Site Personnel:
o Hard hat
o Steel-toed boots or shoes
o Safety glasses with side shields
BSK .lob B93086 - August 12, I993 & Associates
Appendix C - Health and Safety Page 9
Work/Exclusion Zone PPE Requirements:
o Hard hat
o Eye protection (face shield or safety glasses with side shields)
o Steel-toed work boots
o Hearing protection within 25 feet of operating drilling rig
o Work gloves
o Coveralls or long-sleeved shirts
Based on subjective evidence of contamination, the following would be donned at the discretion
of the SSO or PM:
o Tyvek coveralls
o Chemical-resistant steel-toed boots
o Nitrile gloves (drillers can wear under work gloves)
o Surgical latex or vinyl gloves (inner)
o Half or full face respirators with organic vapor cartridges.
PPE may be downgraded from Level "C" to Level 'D' at the discretion of the SSO.
Heat Stress Recognition and Control
Heat stress is likely to be a significant hazard when ambient temperatures exceed 85°F. Some
effects of heat stress include flushed skin, rash, irritability, faintness, or dry, cool skin.
Wearing PPE can place a worker at an elevated risk of developing heat stress. This can result
in health effects ranging from transient heat fatigue to serious illness or death. Heat stress is
caused by a number of interacting factors including environmental conditions, clothing, work
load, and the physical condition of the worker. Because heat stress is one of the most common
(and potentially serious) illnesses at hazardous waste sites, rest periods, adequate drinking water
intake, and regular monitoring for signs and symptoms of distress are vital.
Heat-stress monitoring should be conducted if personnel are wearing PPE (including Tyvek-type
coveralls) and the ambient temperature exceeds 70 degrees Fahrenheit. If impermeable garments
are not worn, monitoring should commence when ambient temperatures exceed 85 degrees.
Heat-stress monitoring should be conducted by measuring worker's heart rate at the beginning
of each rest period (i.e. during the first minute). The worker's heart rate should not exceed 110
beats per minute during the first minute, and should decrease by 10 beats per minute for each
_ lgig]
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
Appendix C - Health and Safety Page 10
of the following three minutes. If the heart rate exceeds this amount, shorten the next work
cycle by a factor of one third and maintain the same rest period. Suggested monitoring
frequencies are shown in the following table.
Ambient Temp (°F) Not Wearing PPE Wearing PPE
77.5 - 77.5 After each 150 minutes of work After each 120 minutes of work
77.5 - 82.5 After each 120 minutes of work After each 90 minutes of work
82.5 -'87.5 After each 90 minutes of work After each 60 minutes of work
87.5 - 90 After each 60 minutes of work After each 30 minutes of work
90 and above After each 45 minutes of work After each 15 minutes of work
When wearing PPE during warm weather conditions, a personal cooling vest or equivalent is
recommended. To help prevent heat stress, site personnel shall drink a sufficient quantity of
water to maintain their body fluids at normal levels. Daily fluid intake must be approximately
equal to the amount of water lost through perspiration. The normal thirst mechanism is not
sensitive enough to provide for sufficient consumption of water to replace lost fluids. The
following is recommended during warm or hot weather conditions:
o Maintain an adequate supply of drinking water at a temperature of 50°
to 60°F.
o Drink at least 16 ounces of fluid (preferably water or electrolyte
replenishing drink) before beginning work.
o Drink a cup or more of water or equivalent fluid every 15 to 20
minutes, or during each rest period. A total of 1 to 1.5 gallons of
fluid per day are recommended, but more may be necessary depending
on physical condition of the worker and ambient temperature.
EXPOSURE MONITORING PLAN
Heat stress, noise, and chemical exposures may be encountered at this site. Monitoring
procedures for these conditions are presented above. Noise levels will not be monitored;
personnel will wear hearing protection.
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
Appendix_ C - Health and Safety PI Page 11
Drilling operations are not expected to generate a sustained dust cloud. If necessary, a water
mist may be applied to reduce dust. Unusual or unrecognized odors or other chemical warnings
noticed during work activities will result in cessation of work until the hazard is identified and
the risk assessed by the SSO.
DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES
A high-pressure hot water washer will be used for decontamination of shovels, auger flights, and
other equipment.
Rubber boots and gloves will be cleaned with a stiff bristle brush, detergent, and water. Tyvek
coveralls, disposable gloves, and spent respirator cartridges should be bagged on site and
disposed of with drill cuttings.
Respirators will be washed, sanitized, and stored in a clean plastic bag or case after each day's
work. Each employee will be responsible for cleaning and maintaining his/her respirator.
SITE CONTROL
Entry into hazardous areas shall be limited to individuals who must work in those areas and are
qualified to do so. Authorized visitors may be allowed to enter the exclusion zone only if they
have read and understand this document and have agreed to abide by the requirements set forth,
have the requisite health and safety requirements, are willing to follow the instructions of the
SSO, and have been informed of the potential hazards and risks associated with them.
Traffic cones, barricades, and warning tape will be used to delineate an exclusion zone around
the drill rig and work area. The exclusion zone should encompass a 25-foot radius around the
rig and work area.
SAFE WORK PRACTICES
The following general guidelines are presented.
o Eating, drinking, chewing gum or tobacco, and smoking are
prohibited within the exclusion zone.
BSK Job B93086 - August 12, 1993 & Associates
Appendix C - Health and Safety PI' A Page 17
o Avoid contact with potentially contaminated substances. Do not walk
- through puddles, pools, mud, etc. Avoid, whenever possible,
kneeling on the ground, leaning or sitting on equipment or ground.
Do not place monitoring equipment on potentially contaminated
surfaces.
o Field crew members should remain aware of potentially dangerous
situations (i.e., presence of strong, irritating or nauseating odors).
o Prevent, to the extent possible, spillage. In the event that a spill
occurs, contain liquid if possible.
o Prevent splashing of contaminated materials.
o The number of personnel and equipment in the exclusion zone should
be minimized, but only to the extent consistent with work force
requirements for safe site operations.
o Only personnel trained (Title 8, CCR, Sec. 5192) and authorized will
be permitted to work in or enter the exclusion zone.
o Personal protective equipment shall be used as specified by the SSO.
During drilling and sampling activities, the tbllowing safe work practices shall be employed:
o Drilling and sampling equipment will be decontaminated before
proceeding to the drill site.
o At the drilling or sampling site, sampling equipment will be
decontaminated after each use.
o Work in areas of Iow expected contamination levels should be
conducted first where practical. Work upwind of the contaminated
area, if possible.
o The minimum number of personnel necessary to achieve the objectives
shall be allowed within the exclusion zone.
o If emergency and backup subcontracted personnel are at the site, they
will remain 25 feet upwind from the exclusion zone, where practical.
