SITE SAFETY PLAN Site Assessment Work Plan Chevron Facility No. 9-2718 May 30, 1995 IDD[i] GROUNDWATER ODD TECHNOLOGY, ii I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1.0 INTRODUCTION Groundwater Technology, Inc. has been contracted by Chevron U.S.A. Inc. to conduct assessment activities at their facility no. 9-2718. The site is located at 5101 Stockdale Highway in Bakersfield, California (Figures 1 and 2). The purpose of the assessment is to determine the extent of hydrocarbons in soil associated with the flexible product line at the east end of the unleaded-regular underground storage tank (UST) , as requested by the City of Bakersfield (letter dated April 10, 1995). This work plan outlines site background, proposed assessment procedures, sampling protocol, and worker safety considerations. Methodology for field work to be performed is outlined in Appendix A. A site-specific safety plan is presented in Appendix B. 2.0 BACKGROUND On March 1, 1995, RLW Equipment Company encountered hydrocarbon bearing soil while replacing a flexible product line. Soil samples were collected at depths of 2- and 6-feet on the east ends of the unleaded-regular and unleaded-plus USTs (Figure 2). The samples were analyzed for benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, and xylenes (BTEX) and total petroleum hydrocarbons as gasoline (TPHG). Benzene and TPHG concentrations ranged from 540 to 2~0 µgjg and 22,000 to 12,000 µgjg, respectively, in the 2- and 6-foot soil samples associated with the unleaded-regular UST (Table 1). No analytes were detected in samples associated with the unleaded-plus UST. 3.0 GEOLOGY/HYDROGEOLOGY Chevron facility no. 9-2718 is located in the southwest portion of Bakersfield. The elevation of the facility is approximately 385 feet above mean sea level. The site is located on the alluvial plain of the Kern River. Topography in the region is flat, and no natural bodies of water adjoin the site. Approximately 4,500 feet east of the site is the Stine Canal. The station is located in a commercial area and is approximately 3,950 feet north of the nearest school. The site overlies alluvial-fan deposits of the Kern River (CDMG, 1965). Sediments underlying the region consist of fluvial deposits including silt, sand and gravel. Site Assessment Work Plan Chevron Facility No. 9-2718 . May 30, 1995 ' IDD~I GROUNDWATER ODD TECHNOLOGY" 1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I II I I An unconfined aquifer is present below the site at a depth of approximately 210 feet. Based on regional data, the gradient of this aquifer is essentially flat (KCWA, 1994). Shallow, perched water has not been identified in the vicinity of the site (KCWA, 1995). 4.0 PROPOSED SITE ASSESSMENT The proposed assessment will focus on the east end of the unleaded regular UST. A vertical boring will be drilled at the end of the tank as shown in Figure 2. The boring will be advanced to at least 40 feet or until 10 feet of uncontaminated soil is encountered (as evidenced by field screening using a photoionization detector). The purpose of the boring is to determine the vertical extent of gasoline hydrocarbons at this location. Only one boring is proposed because: 1) the source of the hydrocarbons is well documented, and 2) no hydrocarbons were detected in samples collected 10 feet northwest of the known source. , Samples will be collected at 5-foot depth increments. A minimum of three samples will be submitted to a state-certified lab for analysis of TPHG and BTEX. Specific sampling, boring abandonment, and waste- handling procedures are discussed in detail in Appendix A.

The boring will be drilled using a a-inch O.D. auger. Samples will be collected from the boring as described in Section A.2. If contamination is suspected, the boring will be filled with a 5-sack sand/cement slurry. If no indication of contamination is encountered, the boring will be backfilled with the drill cuttings. The surface will be patched with concrete or asphalt. A.2 SOIL SAMPLING ~ Soil samples will be collected at 5-foot intervals with a split-spoon sampler. The sampler will be fitted with stainless steel or brass sample rings. When the filled sampler is retrieved, the ring to be submitted for analysis will be separated from the other rings with a knife and sealed in such a way that no significant headspace is left at either end of the ring. The ring will be sealed at each end with a tetlon sheet, a plastic cap, and tape to secure the plastic cap. The samples will be labeled to indicate date and time of sample collection, boring number and depth of the sample. The sample will be placed on ice in an ice chest pending delivery to an analytical laboratory. Another sample ring retrieved from the sampler will be field screened with a PID for volatile organic compound (VOG) emissions. To do this approximately 2/3 of the material in the sample ring will be removed and the ring will be capped on both ends with a plastic cap. The ring will then be shaken vigorously for several seconds and the inlet to the PID will be inserted into a small hole in one of the caps. The PID reading will be recorded on the drilling log for that sample interval. The material from the second sample ring will be described on the drilling log of the boring using visual classification according to the Unified Soil Classification System. Color, grain size, and sorting charts will be used to aid in the soil classification. Between sampling events, the sampling equipment will be cleaned using a three-bucket wash system. In this system, the rings and samplers are scrubbed in a bucket of detergent, rinsed in a second bucket of . tap water and given a final rinse in a bucket of distilled water. A.3 LABORATORY ANALYSIS A minimum of three samples will be submitted for analysis. The selected samples will include the two exhibiting the highest PID readings and the deepest from each boring. The samples will be shipped by overnight courier to a state certified laboratory. All soil samples will be extracted using EPA method 5030 Site Assessment Work Plan Chevron Facility No. 9-2718 May 30, 1995 IDD~I GROUNDWATER DDD TECHNOLOGY" A1 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I and analyzed for BTEX and TPHG concentrations using EPA methods 8020 and 8015-modified. respectiVely. Detection limits for the analytes will be as follows: · 0.005 mgjkg for BTE; · 0.015 mgjkg for X; · 10 mgjkg for TPHG. A.4 WASTE MANAGEMENT Drill cuttings will be stored on site in appropriately labeled, 55-gallon, D.O.T. approved (17E) drums pending receipt of the analytical results. The lids of the drums will be bolted closed and the drums will be stored in one place at the site. Once the analytical results are received the drum contents will be disposed of by Chevron in an appropriate and timely manner. If contamination is encountered, the drilling augers will be steam-cleaned upon completion of drilling activities. Rinsate from the cleaning operations will be collected in appropriately labeled drums (as above) and disposed of by Chevron following laboratory analysis.

Organic vapor concentrations are monitored in the field with a flame ionization detector (FID) or photoionization detector (PID). All readings are taken in the workers' breathing zone to determine whether an action level has been met and/or exceeded. Air monitoring results must be documented on the Vapor Monitoring Form (Appendix B-3). Air monitoring action levels (Table 3-1) have been developed·by Groundwater Technology to indicate the chemical concentrations in the breathing zone that require an upgrade in level of personal. protective equipment (PPE). The action levels apply to all tasks performed on this site. Guidelines for frequency of air monitoring are presented in Table 3-2. 0-7.5 ppm Level D required 76-7.50 ppm Upgrade to Level C > 7.50 ppm Stop work.

Summary of Risks: Ethyl benzene vapor is severely irritating to the eyes and to the mucous membranes of the respiratory system. Sus- tained inhalation of excessive levels can cause depression of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by dizziness, headache, narcosis, and coma. Skin contact with liquid ethyl benzene causes irritation; dennatiLis and defatting can also develop. The acute oral toxicity of ethyl benzene is low; however, ingestion of it presents a serious aspiration hazard. Aspirating even a small amount into the lungs can result in extensive edema (lungs filled with fluid) and hemorrhaging of the lung tissue. No systemic effects are expected at the levels that produce pronounced, unignorable, disagreeable skin and eye irritation. The TI..Vs cited in section 2 are set to prevent this intolerable irritation. 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- turbance due to sensitization; acute bronchitis, bronchospasm, pulmonary and laryngeal edema; euphoria; headache; giddiness; dizziness; and incoordination, as well as possible depression; confusion; and coma.

In general, gasoline is produced from petroleum, shale oil, I Athabasca tar sands, and coal. Motor gasolines are made chiefly by cracking processes, which convert heavier petroleum S fractions into more volatile fractions by thermal or catalytic decomposition, Widely used as fuel in internal combustion ~ Ski 4 engines of the sparlc:-ignited, reciprocating type. Automotive gasoline has an octane number of approximately 90. A high abso~tion content of aromatic hydrocarbons and a consequent high toxicity are also associated with a high octane rating. Some ' gasolines sold in the US contain a minor proportion of tetraethyllead, which is added in concentrations not exceeding 3 ml per gallon to prevent engine "knock." However, methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE) has almost completely replaced tetraethyllead. Other Designations: CAS No. 8006-61-9, benzin, gasoline, gasolene, motor spirits, natural gasoline, petrol.

Although the IARC has assigned an overall evaluation to gasoline, it has not assigned an overall evaluation to specific substances within this group (inadequate human evidence). ummary of Risks: Gasoline vapors are considered moderately pOisonous. Vapor inhalation can cause central nervous system (CNS) depression and mucous membrane and respiratory tract irritation. Brief inhalations of high concentrations can cause a fatal pulmonary edema. Reported responses to gasoline vapor concentrations are: 160 to 270 ppm causes eye and throat irritation in several hours; 500 to 900 ppm causes eye, nose, and throat imtation, and dizziness in 1 hr; and 2000 ppm produces mild anesthesia in 30 min. Higher concentrations are intoxicating in 4 to 10 minutes. If large areas of skiIi are exposed to gasoline, toxic amounts may be absorbed. Repeated or prolonged skin exposure causes dennatitis. Certain individuals may develop hypersensitivity. Ingestion can cause CNS depression. Pulmonary aspiration after ingestion can cause severe pneumonitis. In adults, ingestion of 20 to 50 g gasoline may produce severe symptoms of poisoning. Medical Conditions Aggravated by Long-Term Exposure: None reported. Target Organs: Skin, eye, respiratory and central nervous systems. Primary Entry Routes: Inhalation, ingestion, skin contact. Acute Effects: Acute inhalation produces intense nose, throat, and lung irritation; headaches; blurred vision; conjunctivitis; flushing of the fac:; mental confusion; staggering gait; slurred speech; and unconsciou$l1ess, sometimes with convulsions. Ingestion causes inebriation (drunkenness), vomiting, dizziness, fever, drowsiness, confusion, and cyanosis (a blue to darl:: purplish coloration of skin and mucous membrane caused by lack of oxygen). Aspiration causes ehokins, cough, shortness of breath, increased rate of respiration, excessiyely rapid heartbeat, fever, bronchitis, and pneumonitis. Other symptoms folloWlDg acute exposure include acute hemorrhage of the pancreas, fany degeneration of the liver and kidneys, and passive congestion of s'pleen. Chronic Effects: Chronic IMalation results in appetite loss, nausea, weight loss, insomnia, and unusual sensitivity (hyperesthesia) of the distal extremities followed by motor weakness, muscular degeneration, and diminished tendon reflexes and coordination. Repeated skin exposure can cause blistering, drying, and lesions. FIRST AID .
