review the situation and make personnel safety decisions as to theproper method to approach the material.

The Site Safety Officer will direct site personnel to obtain theappropriate safety equipment for this new situation. He will visuallyinspect the questionable material, noting physical characteristics.If necessary, a small sample of the material will be obtained and helduntil a determination is made whether analysis of the material isappropriate. This sample will be used to determine whether safety andenvironmental issues are involved.

If the material dictates the need for higher levels of safetyprotection, personnel will be directed to upgrade to this level. Ifthe material does not pose a further environmental or operationalproblem, then normal operations can resume in the area.


2.0 STANDARD OPERATING SAFETY GUIDELINES (SOSGs)

The following sections contain the standard operating safetyguidelines that will be used at the ACS site. The site lay-out at thestart of the project are shown in Figures 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 and theSOSGs reflect procedures which will be in effect at this site asrepresented. WESTON has adopted the U.S. EPA-ERT Standard OperatingSafety Guidelines (SOSGs) .

2.1 SAFETY TRAINING

All personnel entering the site will be trained in the proper safetyprocedures as set forth in 40 CFR 265.16 and 29 CFR 1910. Allpersonnel entering the site will be informed of the possible dangersand hazards present.

The purpose is: (1) to develop safe work habits among the work crew,and (2) to train and inform personnel involved with the ACS site workon the hazards present at the site.

Under the "Buddy System" to be used at the site, the REM II teamemployees will not work alone but will be deployed in the contaminatedzones in such a manner as to be in constant communication with eachother; to fulfill the communications requirement of 40 CFR 265.32:

o Hand-held radios will be utilized by any workers out ofhearing range.

o An alarm siren will be used to warn employees of anydangerous site conditions.

These procedures are in accordance with the "Buddy System" proceduresoutlined in the U.S. EPA Occupational Health and Safety Manual Draftof August 29, 1980.

As part of the "Buddy System," the REM H team employees at the ACSsite win be instructed to inform the SSO and their "Buddies" orco-workers of any new, unknown hazards that they detect and to observetheir co-workers for unusual symptoms. Additionally, the SSO will beable to provide first aid for heat exhaustion, heat prostration, heatstroke and hypothermal effects.

The personnel at the ACS site will observe each other for any toxicexposure effects. Indications of adverse effects include:

2.2 HAZARD ANALYSIS AND DESIGNATION OF ACTION LEVELS

OBJECTIVE

Hazards associated with the ACS site must be identified and quantifiedand their impacts on operations oust be evaluated.

PURPOSE

Establishment of the hazard levels present at the site will providecriteria for the Site Safety Officer's determination of proper safetydress and safety procedures for the day. The hazard analysis criteriawill serve as guide post in determining daily worker protectionlevels.

iWDCELJUKEi

The hazard analysis will involve a review of all available publishedand unpublished reports, preliminary air analysis, and initial sitesampling information. Action levels for controlling worker exposureto the site hazards follow U.S. EPA-ERT Guidelines (Figure 2-4), withadditional action levels for designation of level of protection.Action levels are as follows:

Background Level D0-5 ppm above background or Level C

Data Collection

Air monitoring will be conducted utilizing a variety of techniques toassure adequate worker protection. The principal air monitoringinstrument will be an HNu P-101 photoionization detector (PID) . ThePID will be calibrated daily in accordance with the manufacturer'srecommended techniques before each use. The SSO will also have acombustible gas indicator/oxygen meter (OCT) on-site for periodicmonitoring as dictated by HNU readings for visible observation ofcontamination in borings or test pit soils. In the event that

trations of airborne contaminants exceed backgroundconcenitration, additional quantitative air sampling analysis may be

undertaken. Quantitative air sampling will be conducted usingcalibrated air pumps positioned upwind and downwind of the contaminantsource. The number and specific location of each pump will bedetermined based upon location of the source in relation to residentsor workers that may be potentially affected. Pumps will be equippedwith sample collection tubes of appropriate size and sorbent medium.Analytical specialists will be consulted prior to selection of sampletube size and media. Alternative sample tubes will include charcoal,Tenex, silicon gel or combinations thereof. Initially, sample tubeswill be analyzed for volatile organic priority pollutants. After thisinitial screening the number of parameters will be reduced to includeonly those compounds that initially occur in concentrations that couldpose a potential threat to site personnel or off site residents.

In addition to the monitoring activities noted above, measurements foralpha, beta, and gama radiation will be taken at each boring and testpit throughout the duration of the project.

Meteorological data will also be recorded daily. Data that will berecorded will include wind direction, wind speed, temperature,barometric pressure and relative humidity. Meteorological data willbe utilized in positioning of air sampling pumps and will enablepreparation of wind rosettes for the review and analysis of air sampledata. Meteorological data will also be valuable in coordination ofon-site activities to assure that decontamination zones, supportzones, etc. are maintained upwind of potential contaminant sources.

After the concentration of air contaminants has been measured and allother environmental effects taken into consideration, the Site SafetyOfficer will be able to confirm the proper safety equipment proceduresfor all site personnel and make any necessary adjustments to the levelof protection. In addition, with the ongoing collection of airquality data the Site Safety Officer will be able to rapidly


determine if remedial investigation activities could potentiallyaffect employees of the ACS facility or any nearby residents.

2.7 PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT DEOONEfiMINATICN __

OBJECTIVE

Proper and safe decontamination of all personnel and equipment thatare exposed to contamination while working on this job site must beinsured.

PURPOSE

Decontamination procedures for all possible exposures to chemicalhazards during the course of this project must be prepared andimplemented.

PROCEDURES

All decontamination activity will be under the responsibility of theSite Safety Officer. The site personnel will be instructed as to theproper decontamination procedures for this operation. All personnelwill review the decc-.tminaticn area set-up and make themselvesfamiliar with the location of all necessary equipment.

The following decontamination facility is designed for generaldecontamination and may be modified in response to the level ofcontamination the worker was exposed to during the day.

DECONTAMINATION FACILITIES

Decontamination facilities will be provided for field team personnel,sampling equipment, and the drilling rig and backhoe. The personneldecontamination line is illustrated in Figure 2-8, and includesouterboot removal, outer glove wash and removal, and hand wash steps.Each step is executed on a separate wooden pallet that is 40 inches by48 inches, making the entire line about 24 feet long. This line isdesigned for Level D protection and can be easily up-graded for LevelC or Level B protection by adding a step for respirator removal prior

to inner glove removal. Contaminated disposable equipment will bestored in secure drums on-site and will be disposed of at an approvedfacility. A decontamination technician will be available to aid inthe decontamination process. The equipment necessary is listed inTable 2-1.

The sampling equipment decontamination station is illustrated inFigure 2-9, and consists of a 20-foot by 20-foot, no-bottom,open-sided canvas tent and a 20-foot by 13-foot platform constructedof 20 wooden pallets. large wash tubs will be used for the detergentwash and tap-water rinse steps. Stainless steel, solvent resistantsprayers will be used for the acetone, disti 1 led-deionized water, andultrapure (organic-free) water rinses. This equipment and severallarge wooden tables will separate the "hot" side of the tent from the"cold" side. This will prevent inadvertent crossing of thecontaminant control line which passes through the middle of the tent.Drainage from this station will be directed to the adjacent gravelwash-down pad. If freezing temperatures are encountered, electricspace heaters will be used to prevent freeze-up of decontaminationequipment and solutions, and cleaned sampling equipment. Theequipment necessary is listed in Table 2-2.

The drilling rig and backhoe and other contaminated vehicles will bedecontaminated on a gravel washdown pad illustrated in Figure 2-10.The pad will be 30 feet by 20 feet in area and lined with severallayers of plastic. A drainage ditch will be constructed from the padto a storage tank. Wash fluids from the personnel decontaminationline will also be stored in the storage tanks. The heavy equipmentwill be steam cleaned. The decontamination facility locations areshown in Figures 2-1. Decontamination area layouts are shown inFigures 2-2 and 2-3.

2.8 SITE SAHi'lY ZONE s AND SITE

SITE SAFETY ZONES

The REM H team has developed a site safety zone plan. This sitesafety zone plan is composed of four zones (see Figure 2-11}.

Zone 1 - This zone is where the active field activities will takeplace. For REM II purposes all of Zone 1 will be considered the hotzone. However, since the entire site is actively vised by AmericanChemical Service, Inc., Pazmey Corporation (formerly owned by J & HKapica), and Griffith Landfill during the course of their normalbusiness operations, specific hot zones around each field activitylocation will be set up at each borehole, well, excavation pit, etc.Die specific hot zone perimeter will be set at a distvmnpt where HNureadings are not above background. This perimeter distanoR will beincreased as necessary based on HNu readings. Each zone will bemarked by surveyor's tape attached to stakes surrounding the zone.American Chemical Service, Pazmey Corporation and Griffith Tandf-memployees will not be allowed in the specific hot zone areas whilefield activities are being conducted in the hot zones areas. All REMH personnel and visitors entering this zone will do so from thedecontamination/equipment supply area. They will don the appropriatesafety equipment as specified by the Site Safety Officer (SSO) andwill exit through the decontamination unit following the prescribeddecontamination procedure.

Zone 2 - Included in this zone will be all field equipment andsupplies to be used at this site. The decontamination unit will alsobe staged in this area. The SSO will prescribe the dress of the dayfor this area. Unless otherwise authorized, the dress of the day forZone 2 will be equal to that set for Zone 1 but in no instance will bebelow level D.

No one will be admitted into Zone 1 or Zone 2 without first havingundergone a thorough physical examination and the prescribed safetytraining as detailed in Sections 2.1, 2.5 and 2.14 of these SOSGs. Inaddition, each person entering Zone 1 and Zone 2 must "sign in" and"sign out" on a posted form that will be located at the entry point toZone 2. This form will document the date and time of entry into andexit from the site.

Zone 3 - This zone will include all surrounding work site areas judgedto be clean. Any material or equipment which enters this area fromZone 1 must undergo the necessary level of decontamination as judgedby the SSO prior to entry.

REM II team members will then file an accident report. The format ofthe accident report to be utilized at the site is shown in Figure D-l(Appendix D) .

2.12 TRflNSKjkJUATION SAFEIY AND INSHJL'l'lON

OBJECTIVE

All vehicles must be checked for proper operating condition and theabsence of contamination before leaving the site. All vehicles mustbe safely operated at all times en-site.

PROCEDURE;

All REM II controlled vehicles leaving Zone 1 will be decontaminatedprior to leaving the site, this ensures that no vehicle leaves thesite and spreads contamination. A visual inspection also reduces thepossibility of a vehicle leaving the site in poor operating conditionand thereby reduces the possibility of breakdown during

tat ion .

2.13 TRANSPORTATION INdDEMT REPORT

OBJECTIVE

Transporters of hazardous materials and/or waste must file with theDepartment of Transportation an Incident Report in the event of anaccident in transit.

PURPOSE

In the event of an uncontrolled incident during transportation ofhazardous materials, it is important to record and investigate eachincident. By analyzing all similar incidents it will be possible toalter designs and practices such that future incidents will occur lessfrequently.


In the event of an incident during transportation of any material fromthe ACS site, the operator will notify responsible personnel as setforth in Sections 2.9 and 2.11. After all necessary emergency actionhas been taken as set forth in these SOPs, the operator and the siteemergency coordinator will complete the attached Department ofTransportation Hazardous Materials Incident Report (Figure D-3 -Appendix D).

If the incident results in an injury, the Accident Investigation andReporting Procedure detailed in Section 2.10 will also be instituted.

2.14 MfffiVMj EXAMTNRCTONS

The objectives of the project medical program are to ensure that:

1. All REM H employees who work at the ACS site are medicallyfit to do so.

2. Adequate programs are in place to handle medically-relatedproblems, should any result from working at the ACS site.

3. Follow-up medical monitoring can be provided, if suchsurveillance is warranted.

PURPOSE

The purpose of the medical program is to ensure to the extent possiblethat employees who do cleanup work involving hazardous chemicals arein good health to permit detection of any chemically-related healthproblems and to provide a mechanism to verify that such work has notresulted in employee ill health. Additionally, the medical programo<gj-.q)-ii •jflfry* is in compliance with the Medical SurveillanceRequirements of OSHA (29 CFR 1910, Subpart 2) and with NIOSHrecommendations for such provisions.

PROCEDURES

The procedures for the project medical program for all workers subjectto exposure to hazardous materials have been coordinated with theIndustrial Health and Hygiene Group. These procedures detail themedical examinations to be performed prior to starting operations atthe disposal sites, and are as follows:

1. Chest X-ray PA view, HO interpretation2. Electrocardiogram (EKG)3. Pulmonary Function (Vital Capacity, FVC, FEV1, FVC5)4. Visual Acuity

METHYLENE CHLORIDEDkhloromethane

CHjCI,TIV, 100 pom ( * 360 mf/m*)STIL, 500 pom ( « 1700 mg/m*)

Methylene chloride is » colorless volatile liquid, solublein water to only 1% by weight, but completely miscibtewith most organic solvents. It has a sweetish odor, likemost chlorinated hydrocarbons. The molecular weight is84.94, a specific gravity is 1.335, boiling point is 40* Cand itsolidifies at -95' C. With its high vapor pressure (315 mmHg at room temperature, 23.5* C) sustantial concentrationsof vapor are readily achieved whenever methylene chlo-ride is spilled or spread out over a large surface, even in aspace that is not closely confined. It is non-flammable bystandard tests, but will bum in extreme conditions.

Methylene chloride is widely used in paint removers,as a solvent for plastics, as a degreasinf agent, in propellantmixtures for aerosol sprays and as a blowing agent infoams. The odor is not a good indication of exposure sinceconcentrations of 100 ppm reportedly are not highly per-ceptible.

Liquid methylene chloride is painful and irritating ifsplashed in the eyes or if confined on the skin by gloves,ciothing or paint remover formulations. A bum can result ifit is not promptly removed from the eyes and skin. Theacute oral LO» for rats is about 2000 mg/kg.

According to Lehmann and Flury,"' slight narcosis oc-curs at 4000 to 6100 ppm in several species of animals. Thefatal concentration for seven hours' exposure is given bymany authorities as about 15.000 pom."-* Rats exposed 75days (8 hours a day) at 1300 ppm showed slight liverchanges which were not found at 50 days.*1) Cats exposedfour to eight days at 7200 ppm for four weeks were foundto have kidney and liver changes. Heppel and associates'4'found that daily seven-hour exposures at 5000 ppm for sixmonths had no discernible effect on dogs and rabbits, andonly reduction in the rate of growth of guinea pigs. At10,000 ppm, four hours a day, for seven and one-half weeksdogs and guinea pigs, but not monkeys, rabbits or rats de-veloped liver injury. Moskowitz and Shapiro"' reportedfour cases of poisoning with one fatality, apparently due tonarcotic action. Collier** reported two cases of poisoningin painters who suffered from headache, giddiness, stupor,irritability, numbness and tingling in the limbs. Kuzelovaand Vtasak171 noted complaints of headache, fatigue andirritation of the eyes and respiratory passages by workersexposed at concentrations up to 5000 ppm. Neurasthenicdisorders were found in 50%, and digestive disturbances in90% of the persons exposed. Three acute poisonings, oneinvolving loss of consciousness, were recorded withoutserious after-effects.

Weiss* stated that a chemist after a year's exposure de-veloped toxic encephalosis with acoustical and optical de-lusions and hallucinations. Concentrations frequently ex-ceeded 500 ppm; values of 660 ppm, 800 ppm, and near thefloor, 3600 ppm were noted.

Colubovski and Kamchatnova1" found liver disease inworkers exposed to methylene chloride and melhanolwhich they attributed to the former. Exposure concentra-tions were not reported.

In the early 1940*$ methylene chloride was consideredthe least toxk of the chlorinated hydrocarbon solventswhen a safe industrial air limit of 500 ppm was proposed byHeppel et a/,"> and later adopted by the TLV Committee asprotective enough to prevent any significant narcotic ef-fects or liver injury.

Subsequently, Stewart er af** reported that significantquantities of carbon monoxide and carboxyhemoglobinwere produced in humans receiving single exposures at500-1000 ppm of methylene chloride. The carboxyhemo-globin concentrations reported by Stewart approximatedthose considered objectionable if due to inhalation of car-bon monoxide.

More extensive examination of CO production frommethylene chloride was later reported by the same investi-gators.*11) Human volunteers exposed to methylene chlo-ride at 1000 ppm for two hours (2000 ppm-hours, one halfof the Ci permitted for an 8-hour exposure at 500 ppm)resulted in carboxyhemoglobin levels in excess of thosepermitted in industry from exposure to CO alone.

This finding of the body's capacity to metabolize me-thylene chloride to CO was confirmed by Ratney, Wegmanand Elkin$<"» in a small group of workers exposed to 180 to200 ppm methylene chloride. Such dairy, repeated expo-sures resulted in equilibirium blood concentrations of car-boxyhemoglobin of 9% that decreased to half that value bynext day's start of work. The differential increment in per-cent carboxyhemoglobin of 45% from a day's exposure at180 to 200 ppm of methylene chloride is approximately thesame as that developed from a daily exposure to CO at itsTLV of 50 ppm.

DiVincenzo"11 found that humans exposed to 100 ppmmethylene chloride for 8 hours had a carboxyhemoglobin(COHb) value of 3.22% ± 0.22%, whereas an 8-hour expo-sure at 150 ppm produced 5.39% ± 0.06% level and an 8-hour exposure at 200 ppm resulted in COHb level of 6.8%± 0.65%.

In an extensive study several healthy adults of both sex-es were exposed from 2-10 times to methylene chloridevapor concentrations of 0,50,100, 250 or 500 ppm for pe-riods of 1, 3 and 75 hours in a controlled environmentchamber. These studies were designed to simulate the typeof exposures encountered in the industrial setting and con-sisted of both steady, non-fluctuating vapor concentra-tions. Exposure resulted in a prompt elevation of carboxy-hemoglobin. The elevation persisted longer than COHbfrom CO alone since metabolism of the absorbed methy-

tene chloride continued after exposure ceased. This sol-vent-induced COHb is apparently added to the body bur-den of carbon monoxide derived from other sources.

This study corroborated previous single exposure stud-ies in that no deleterious effects upon the health or perfor-mance of healthy adults could be detected when theywere repeatedly exposed to 250 ppm or less for 75 hoursper day, five days per week for 2 weeks, or in the case ofthe male subjects, to SOQ ppm on two consecutive days.*14'Among the parameters studied were complete bloodcount, clinical chemistry (SMA 12), EKG, serum trigtycer-ides, blood pressure, subjective signs and symptoms, urina-N/sis (Combistix) urinary urobilinogen, neurological tests,EEC, visual evoked response, pulmonary function and cog-native, alertness, time estimation, coordination, arithmeticand inspection tests.

The increase in COHb was related to the magnitude ofthe vapor exposure. Both duration of exposure and vaporconcentration were factors. Seven and one-half hour expo-sures to concentrations as low as 100 ppm for 5 days result-ed in COHb elevations about 5 percent in nonsmokers.

v3 The odor was not objectionable at 250 ppm and many sub-jects could not detect it at 50 or 100 ppm.

Since the toxic effects of methylene chloride are due inpart to its conversion to carbon monoxide, they would pre-sumably be augmented by the presence of carbon monox-ide in the air. Poder ef al"> found the effects of CO andthe COHb from methylene chloride to be additive in 3-hour exposure tests with rats. Therefore, whenever there isa combined exposure to the vapors of methylene chlorideand carbon monoxide, the appropriate equation for mix-tures should be used, in determining whether or not theexposure is acceptable.

A time-weighted average TLV of 100 ppm is recom-mended for methylene chloride in the absence of occupa-tional exposure to carbon monoxide. This recommenda-tion is based upon experimental data obtained from non-smoking males at rest, and should keep COHb levels well

Jbelow 5 percent. A STEL of 500 ppm is recommended since 1>>

data indicate that neither undesirable CNS responses norCOHb values are likely to occur with such exposures tomethylene chloride.1*417-*1 Concurrent exposure to othersource of carbon monoxide or physical activity will requireassessment of the overall exposure and adjustment for the ^combined effect.

Other recommendations: NIOSH (1976) 75 ppm; WestGermany (1979) and Elkins (1959) 200 ppm; ANSI (1969) 500ppm; USSR (1970) 15 ppm; East Germany (1973), Romania(1975), Yugoslavia (1971) and Czechoslovakia (1976) 140ppm; Sweden (1974) 100 ppm; others 200 or 250 ppm. *•

4.0 SITE MANAGEMENT PLAN

4.1 SCOPE

This section includes discussions of the field facilities; equipment,supplies, and materials; and operations systems needed to execute thefield investigations described in the Sampling and Analysis Plan(Document No. 160-WPl-CjAAW-RLr-l) . The discussion of field facilitiesdescribes the field office, utilities, and secure storage areas andindicates why each is needed. The discussion of equipment, suppliesand materials describes the type, size and quantity of these items asneeded for sample collection and sample packaging and shipment. Thediscussion of operations systems describes the procedures andprotocols that will be implemented to control the cost, schedule andintegrity of the field investigations, including daily planningsessions, the site log, inventory control, communications, and siteaccess and security.

4.2 FIELD

FIELD OFFICE

The field office will consist of a mobile trailer outfitted as aconstruction management office. If possible, the office will beelectrically heated and air conditioned. One office room will be usedas the overall management office; the central room(s) will be used forsecure storage of sample bottles, collected samples, and otherequipment and supplies that must be kept dry; and the other office

~ room will be used for sample packaging, shipment and related_ paperwork. Both doors of the trailer will be lockable, either by1 entry lock in the handle or with a padlock. The location of theJ office trailer at the site and its relationship to other field

facilities is shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-11.

ITTTTiTTTES

The office trailer and other field facilities will be provided withthe following utilities:

w— •

o Electricity — a metered service line will be dropped fromnearby utility poles; service will be capable of handlingtrailer lights, heat, air conditioning, electric heatingunits in the decontamination tent (3) , and securityfloodlights.

o Telephone — regular telephone service and an outside bellwill be provided at the field office; an on-site telephonewill facilitate the rapid exchange of information between the


field team and the Site Manager or RSPO, reduce lead timesfor procurements and improve the coordination with suppliers,all of which will mitigate the effects of unexpecteddevelopments.

o "Water and Sewer" — bottled drinking water and a portablesanitation unit will be provided on-site.

SECURE STORAGE AREAS

Secure storage areas will be provided so that the equipment, supplies,and materials stockpiled on-site during mobilization are availablewhen needed; and so that pre-cleaned items, such as sample bottlesand/or well-screens and casing, can be known to still be clean.Secure storage will also be needed for samples that are temporarilyheld prior to shipment so that chain-of-custody is not broken.

As mentioned during discussion of the field office, some equipment andsupplies will be stored in the office trailer. Health and safetygear, decontamination reagents, and some sampling equipment will bestored for general field team access. Sample bottles and collectedsamples will be stored in locking cabinets inside the trailer so thataccess is restricted to the Sample Handling Technician and the Teamleader (Site Sampling Manager).

In addition, a fenced area about 20 feet by 30 feet will beestablished near the trailer on the primary site facilities area(Figure 2-1). This fenced area will be used to store the monitoringwell construction and installation equipment and other weatherproofitems. A small shed will be placed in the secondary site facilitiesarea for storage of decontamination and sampling supplies (Figure2-2).

4.3 OPERATIONS SYSTEMS

DAHtf PLANNING SESSIONS

At the beginning of each day of field work, the field team willassemble for a planning session. The previous day's activities willbe reviewed with special attention given to health and safety,decontamination, and sampling protocols, and any problems encountered.Following this, the activities to be conducted during the current daywill be previewed with special attention given to anticipatingproblems, and incorporating experience and ideas from the previousday's work. These planning sessions will make all members of thefield team aware of the project status and should enhance theirfunctioning as an integrated team.

O


SITE IDG

A master log of site activities will be maintained by the Team Leaderand/or his appointee. In addition to general descriptions of dailyactivities, the log will contain records of the following:

o Weather conditions

o Visitors (non-KEM H field team)

o Telephone calls and conversations

o Sampling logbook and custody tag sign-in/out

o Weekly inventory results

o Weekly estimates of progress and budget status.

INVENTORY CONTROL

At the end of each week, an inventory of all equipment, materials, andsupplies will be made. The status and condition of re-useableequipment will be noted, unserviceable equipment will be repaired orreplaced, and the rate of consumption of expendable items will beevaluated. This information will be used by the Team Leader to keepthe costs of field activities within budget or to provide earlywarning of unavoidable overruns.

OQMMONICATIGNS

Off site coimmications will be handled by telephone. The Team Leaderwill provide daily status reports to the Site Manager, and will beavailable to talk with RSPO as needed. During most site activities,the Sample Handling Technician will be in the office trailer, and willserve as the camiunications coordinator, directing incoming calls tothe appropriate individuals. On-site connunicaticns will be handledusing IM walkie-talkies. Each separate sampling team will carry onewith them and one unit will remain in the office. Thus, the TeamLeader will be aware of any problems as they arise, and can implementprompt corrective action.

SITE ACCESS AND SECURITY

The site is currently fenced on its north, east, south and west sides.Access to the site is controlled by an electronic gate on the northfence. The owners and operators of ACS are cooperating with the U.S.EPA and it is in their interest to prevent unauthorized access to the


ACS site; therefore, no additional measures to control general siteaccess are needed at this time. A temporary gate will be installedacross the access road to the site facilities area (Figure 2-1).

Measures to improve the security of the field facilities will includelocks on the office trailer, separate locked cabinets within thetrailer for sample bottles and collected samples, outside floodlights,a light left on inside the trailer overnight, the fenced area forequipment storage, tying down the tent flaps every evening and dailyinspections on the weekends. In addition, the amount of equipmentleft lying out overnight will be minimized and every effort will bemade to be as inconspicuous as possible.
