1.0 INTRODUCTION
Laundry Supply Company operates as a distributor of laundry and dry cleaning supplies from its
offices and warehouse located at3785 West 1987 South in Salt Lake City, Utah (see Figure 1).
On April 4,1996, Laundry Supply closed two underground storage tanks (USTs) and associated
underground piping, equipment, and containment systems (collectively, UST system) located at
the facility which had been used for storage of perchloroethylene (PCE) (see Figure 2). During
the removal, no evidence of a PCE release from either 10,000-gallon tank was observed.
However, based on the results of the laboratory analysis of soil and ground water samples
collected during the closure, Laundry Supply determined that PCE had been released to soil and
ground water from the UST system.
Laundry Supply reported the release to the State on May 2 and again on May 4,1996. In
addition, Laundry Supply filed a UST Closure Notice dated June 4, 1996 with the Division of
Environmental Response and Remediation indicating that PCE had been-released. On July 10,
l996,Laurtdry Supply met with authorized representatives of the Division of Solid and
Hazardous Waste (DSHW) to discuss options in responding to the release. At that meeting, it
was determined that additional investigation of the release was necessary to determine if
remediation to alleviate a potential hazard to human health or the environment at this site was
waranted. As a result, the parties decided to resolve this matter by entering into a Stipulation
and Consent Agreement to develop a plan for site investigation and remediation such that any
residue, contaminated soil, water or other material resulting from the release would not present a
hazardto human health or the environment. This Site Investigation Plan describes the proposed
activities related to confirming the nature and determining the extent of the reported release.
2.0 PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION
The June 4,1996 UST Closure Notice filed with the State included laboratory results that
showed: 1) PCE in two ground water samples containing concentrations of 22,000 and 180,000
mgll;2) PCE in four soil samples ranging in concentration from <2.0 (non-detect) to 11,000
mgkg; and, 3) the soil sample submiued for grain-size analysis was determined to be a silty soil
(ML). As part of the UST closure, Laundry Supply installed a vertical PVC pipe in the UST
excavation during backfilling to allow later inspection of ground water conditions.
3.0 SCOPE OF WORK
The scope of work will include the testing of soils and ground water for PCE and related
substances that may occur as a result of the natural degradation of PCE. Also, other samples and
information may be gathered during the sampling activities that will aid in the overall site

charucteization that may be required if further site investigation or remediation is warranted.
PCE is a dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) that is heavier than water and is only slightly
soluble in water. Based on these characteristics, any PCE that may be present may occur in
different phases: 1) dissolved in ground water; 2) as subsurface accumulations of free product in
"low spots" on less permeable sediment horizons; and 3) coatings on soil particles through which
dissolved or free-product phases have migrated. Investigations of subsurface DNAPL releases
typically minimize the extent of drilling that may spread the contamination to greater depths.
These investigations also require obtaining detailed information on subsurface sediments that
may help in identiffing migration pathways of dissolved and free-product phases and the
location of free-product accumulation.
The work will be based on the drilling of soil borings, collection of soil samples, installation of
monitor wells, and the collection of ground water samples from selected locations (see Figure 3).
This work will include the use of truck-mounted drilling equipment and support equipment such
as a pressure washer or steam cleaner and pick-up trucks.
Several 55-gallon drums will be used to store drill cuffings (soil and rock) and ground water
produced from the drilling and sampling activities. The drums will be stored on site pending the
selection of disposal options which will be based on the contaminant concentrations encountered.
Work will be conducted according to methods discussed in the Health and Safety Plan (HASP)
included in Appendix A and the Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan included
in Appendix B. A photo-ionization detector (PID) will be used to detect organic vapors in soil
samples and in the ambient air in the work area as described in the HASP. Any activities that
may be required and not described in this Site Investigation Plan will be submitted and approved
by the DSHW prior to implementation.
3.1 Soil and Ground Water Testing
Soil and ground water beneath the Laundry Supply Company property will be tested for the
presence of PCE and related degradation products. The results of this testing are intended to
define the extent of any subsurface PCE-related soil contamination on the property. The scope of
the sampling activities to be performed will be re-evaluated as sampling results are received and
reviewed. Any substantial changes to the subsequent scope of work described here that appear
warranted based on the initial results of the investigation will be discussed and approved by the
DSHW. Soil and ground water sampling will be performed using a hydraulic drive-point (HDP)
system. Additional sampling may be performed by using a hollow-stem auger (HSA), if
warranted.

HDP Borings
The HDP system will collect soil and ground water samples from a minimum of 12 locations.
These samples are expected to be collected from these "borings" at depths ranging from 10 to 25
feet depending upon the nature of the sediments encountered and other considerations. The
depths of these borings will be minimized in an attempt to avoid spreading any contamination
encountered to greater depths. Soil samples will be logged (described) to provide detailed
information related to the nature of the sediments and their potential to provide preferential
pathways or barriers to contaminant migration. Also, detailed depth measurements will be made
while advancing the borings in an attempt to provide data to construct isopleths of sediment
surfaces that may influence contaminant migration. If warranted, continuous geologic logging
and stratigraphic depth measurements will be performed on selected HDP borings. Well collars
will be suweyed by a licensed surveyor to accurately establish the ground water and stratigraphic
gradients. The soil samples will be tested for the presence of organic vapors through the use of a
PID. Any odors present will also be noted.
Depending on the results of the initial 12 HDP borings, additional phases of HDP borings may be
required to further delineate the extent of contamination prior to selecting locations of the HSA
borings. The approximate locations of the 12 HDPs are shown on Figure 3. These approximate
locations may change as the results of the investigation are received and reviewed. The DSHW
will be notified of any plans to drill more than the 12 HDP borings initially planned.
HSA Borings
If the results of the HDP boring program indicate that fi.rttrer investigation is required, three
HSA borings will be drilled on the property by a State-licensed well driller to provide ground
water measurements and the ground water flow direction in the shallow unconfined aquifer. If
warranted, a fourth HSA boring will be drilled to provide monitoring of deeper ground water to
demonstrate that the reported release has not impacted deeper ground water. Decisions regarding
the drilling of the HSA borings will be made in consultation with the DSHW. Information on,
and descriptions of, the subsurface sediments encountered would be collected from these borings
as described above for the HDP borings. The three wells intended to monitor the shallow
unconfined aquifer are anticipated to be completed at depths ranging from 10 to 25 feet.
Only after the drilling and laboratory results from the (approximately) 12 HDP and 3 shallow
HSA borings have been reviewed, would the exact location for the deeper (fourth HSA) monitor
well be selected. In this way, the possibility of drilling through any contamination that may be
present and spreading it to greater depths can be minimized. The deeper well is anticipated to be
drilled to a depth of approximately 40 to 70 feet. This well will be completed at a depth where
the first evidence of confining conditions are observed (e. g., evidence of artesian conditions or

I evidence suggesting that a substantial aquitard has been penetrated) and where the aquifer
exhibiting that evidence can be selectively monitored (effectively isolated from the shallow
I unconfined aquifer using a bentonite seal). Unless further soil charactenzation is warranted, it is
I expected that no soil samples will be collected and analyzed for DNAPLs from the deeper
boring.
I The ground water monitoring wells completed in the HSA borings will be constructed with 2-
inch Schedule 40 PVC using 0.010-inch slotted screen. Stainless steel well casing and screen
I may be used if wa:ranted. A standard completion using washed sand pack (approximately 10-20r size), bentonite, and cement with flush-mounted well covers will be used. Figure 4 shows a
I
typical monitor well design.
The approximate locations of the 4 HSA borings are shown on Figure 3. The DSHW will be
I
notified of any plans to drill more than the 4 HSA borings initially planned.
Generally, soil and ground water samples will be collected in a manner to minimize sample
I disturbance and the subsequent loss of volatile organic compounds. It is anticipated that soilr samples will be collected on approximately five-foot intervals and submitted for laboratory
analysis. The soils sampled and submitted for analysis will represent the soils most likely to
I exnitit contamination. Generally speaking, it is anticipated that more permeable sandy soilsr would be analyzed in preference to less permeable clayey soils. Soil samples will be placed into
r sample jars leaving as liule head space as possible. Ground water samples will contain no
t headspace. The sample containers used will be laboratory-supplied and specifically designed for
the analytical procedures requested. Once collected, samples will be placed on ice in a cooler
I pending delivery to the laboratory. Chain-of-custody protocol will be maintained during sample
f storage and transportation to the laboratory. Disposable sampling equipment will be used to
minimize the use of decontamination procedures. Sampling equipment to be reused will be
I decontaminated using a laboratory grade phosphate-free detergent followed by rinses in tap water
I and, finally, distilled water.
I In addition to the samples collected for chemical analysis, engineering samples may also be
I collected from the HSA borings using standard protocols. These samples would be collected and
submitted to a soils testing laboratory to further characterize subsurface conditions.t

method from the surface. HSA borings will be properly abandoned by a State-licensed well
driller once it has been determined that no more ground water observations or sampling from the
wells is required.
3.2 Laboratory Analysis
Generally, analytical procedures will follow the methods described in the QA/QC Plan
(Appendix B). Soil and ground water samples will be analyzed by EPA Method 8260 (or
equivalent) for the following (total) volatile organic compounds:
perchloroethylene (PCE)
and the possible degradatron products:
trichloroethylene (TCE)
1,1 dichloroethylene (1,I-DCE)
cis-l,2 dichloroethylene (c- 1,2-DCE)
trans- 1,2 dichloroethylene (t- 1,2-DCE)
1, I dichloroethane (1, I-DCA)
1,2 dichloroethane (1,2-DCA)
chloroethane
vinyl chloride
Soil samples containing elevated concentrations of DJisted compounds listed above will be
analyzed by Method 8260 (or equivalent) after Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure
digestion, as appropriate. These analyses would investigate the hazardous nature of the soils
under Resource Conservation and Recovery Act criteria.
4.0 REPORTING
Within 60 days of completing the site investigation activities, Laundry Supply will submit a
Report of Investigation to the DSHW. This report will include the results of all work completed
pursuant to the Stipulation and Consent Agreement, all analytical dataand interpretations, and
appropriate recommendations.

I r.o rNrRoDrJCTroN
The personal health and safety of all individuals directly involved in the project and of the
I geneial public near the site is important. Therefore, all prudent and reasonable measures willrr be taken to establish and maintain safe and healthy working conditions.
t
1.1 Scope and Applicability of the Site Health and Safety PIan
- This Health and Safety Plan (HASP) has been prepared by JBR Environmental Consultants,
r Inc. (JBR) to present the safety procedures to be implemented while performing work at the
I Laundry Supply Company site investigation project located at 3785 West 1987 South in Salt
Lake City. This HASP only applies to JBR employees. The project will include soil boring,
I installation of monitor wells, and soil and ground water sampling from the property which has
I been impacted by a release of perchloroethylene (PCE) from the former underground storage
tank (UST) system. This site will not have any permit-required confined spaces under present
I project plans.
JBR employees on site shall be informed of the site emergency response procedures and any
I potential fire, explosion, health, or safety hazards of the project. This HASP summarizes the
r chemical hazards in Table 3-1 and defines protective measures planned for during the field
I :J";development of this plan, consideration was given to current safety standards as
r defined by EPA/OSHA/NIOSH, health effects and standards for the known contaminants, and
I procedures designed to account for the potential for exposure to unknown substances.
Specifically, the following reference sources have been consulted:
. OSHA general industry standards (29 CFR 1910) and construction industry
standards (29 CFR 1926).. NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards, June 1994.
. 1994-L995 Threshold Limit Values fbr Chemical Substances and Physical
Agents and Biological Exposure lndices, ACGIH, Cincinnati, Ohio.
. OSHA/NIOSH/USCG Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual fbr
Hazardous Waste Site Activities. 1985.
This HASP identifies the (1) potential hazards associated with working with the soils and
ground water anticipated to be impacted by PCE, and, (2) actions which will be taken to
minimize or eliminate those hazards; e. 9., engineering controls, use of personal protective
equipment, training, etc. Although every effort was made to develop a plan that is as
comprehensive and detailed as possible, conditions may change once the project is initiated
which may warrant modifications to this plan.

I L.z Site History
I The property is owned by Laundry Supply Company, a distributor of laundry and dry cleaning
I products, which previously operated a UST system on the site to store PCE prior to
distribution. As a result of the closure of the two 10,000-gallon USTs in April 1996, soils and
f ground water were determined to be impacted by a release of PCE.I
1.3 Site Description
t The property is located at 3785 West 1987 South in a business/light industry park on the west
side of Salt Lake City. A map of the area is included as Figure 1. The site is comprised of
I approximately 1 .77 acres that includes asphalt parking areas and one building operated as ar warehouse, office, and garage.
I 1.4 Visitors and Subcontractors
I Visitors and subcontractors entering the work area will have the option to read and adopt the
I provisions of this HASP. Such visitors and subcontractors will be expected to comply with
relevant OSHA requirements such as medical monitoring (Section 6.0), training (Section 4.0),
I and respiratory protection (Section 5.0). Visitors and subcontractors will be expected to
f provide their own protective equipment.

3.0 TASK/OPERATION SAFETY AND HEALTH RISK ANALYSIS
3.1 Scope
This HASP identifies the hazards associated with the anticipated occurrence of PCE and
related degradation products at the site identified as the Laundry Supply Company project. It
also identifies the methods needed to protect personnel from those hazards. Table 3-1
provides a summary of the chemical hazards associated with this site.
3.2 Site Hazards Evaluation
Hazards are similar for most types of hazardous waste-related investigations. These hazards
include, but are not limited to, heavy equipment (including drilling equipment), electrical,
open excavations, overhead obstructions, slips/trips, and the chemicals being remediated at the
site. These hazards are discussed below.
3.2.1 Chemical Hazards
P e r c hlo ro ethy le ne (fet rac hlo ro et hy le ne )
Perchloroethylene (PCE) is classified as a Group 28 carcinogen by the IARC. PCE is an
apparent liver carcinogen in mice. It is harmful if digested, inhaled, or absorbed dermally
The vapor pressure of PCE is 14 mm Hg at 20'C. Exposure by inhalation may cause
irritation to the mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Dermal contact may result in
skin or eye irritation. Acute inhalation exposure to PCE causes a narcotic effect resulting in
nausea, dizziness, and headaches. Prolonged overexposure may result in damage to the liver
and kidneys. The Utah OSHA permissible exposure limit and ACGIH TLV-TWA are 25
ppm. PCE concentrations in two ground water samples collected from the site were reported
at 22,000 and 180,000 mg/I. PCE concentrations in four soil samples taken from the site
ranged from (2.0 (non-detect) to 11,000 mg/kg.
Trichloroethylene
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is classified as a Group 3 carcinogen by the IARC. It is harmful if
inhaled, digested, or absorbed dermally. Dermal exposure results in skin and eye irritation"
The vapor pressure of TCE is 58.7 mm Hg at 20 "C. Inhalation affects the mucous
membranes and upper respiratory tract. Ingestion may result in the irritation of mucous
membranes and in gastrointestinal disturbances. Acute inhalation exposure to TCE causes a
narcotic effbct resulting in nausea, dizziness, and headaches. Prolonged overexposure may
result in damase to the liver and kidneys. The Utah OSHA permissible exposure lirnit and the

ACGIH TLV-TWA are 50 ppm. TCE may be present on site as a degradation product of
PCE.
I,2 Dichloroethane
1,2 Dichloroethane (EDC) is classified as a Group 28 carcinogen by the IARC. EDC is
rumorigenic in rodents and is harmful if digested, inhaled, or absorbed dermally. Skin
absorption is considered a significant route of entry. Dermal exposure results in skin and eye
irritation, moderate edema, and necrosis. Ingestion may result in irritation of the mucous
membranes and gastrointestinal disturbances. The vapor pressure of EDC is 63.7 mm Hg at
20 "C. Acute inhalation exposure to EDC causes headaches, lethargia, circulatory weakness,
puhnonary edema, and kidney and liver damage. Prolonged over-exposure to the chemical
may result in epigastric pain, irritation of mucous membranes, neurological changes, and liver
and kidney impairment. The Utah OSHA permissible exposure limit and the ACGIH TLV-
TWA are 10 ppm. EDC is possibly on site as a degradation product of PCE.
Vinyl Chloride
Vinyl chloride is classified as a Group I carcinogen by the IARC. It is tumorigenic in man
and is harmful if digested, inhaled, and absorbed derrnally. However, absorption through the
skin is considered minor. Vinyl chloride vapors can cause eye irritation. The vapor pressure
of vinyl chloride is 2300 mm Hg at20'C. Acute inhalation exposure to vinyl chloride causes
lightheadedness, dizziness, nausea, dulling of vision, and depression of the central nervous
system. Prolonged overexposure to the chemical may result in damage to the liver, blood, and
respiratory systems. The Utah OSHA permissible exposure limit is 1 ppm and the ACGIH
TLV-TWA is 5 ppm. Vinyl chloride is possibly on site as a degradation product of PCE.
3.2.2 General Site Hazards
3.2.2.1 Noise
Employees may encounter elevated noise levels because of heavy and portable equipment on
the site. The general rule of thumb to determine if an employee is being exposed to excessive
noise is if two workers must shout to communicate at a distance of approximately three feet.
Hearing protection is encouraged for all equipment operators.

I 3.z.z.z vehicles
I There will be different types of vehicles used on the site. These include heavy equipment,
I drilling equipment, and support vehicles. Special awareness training will be given to the field
personnel to minimize vehicle hazards as needed.
t 3.2.2.3 Electrical
I Electricity represents ahazard on the site. Water, high voltages, and extension cords increase
I the hazards of electrical shockto workers. To reduce this hazard, the SSO will become aware
of the locations of these hazards before beginning work on the site.
I 3.2.2.4 stips, Trips, and Falts
I The use of water and equipment in the work area increases the opportunity fbr slips, trips, and
falls. To reduce these hazards, field personnel will be encouraged to keep the work area clean
I with good housekeeping. Water will be minimized on walking surfaces. Field personnel will
I be properly advised of these hazards.

3.2.2.5 Open Excavations
I No excavations are currently planned for the investigation but may be included with a later
phase of work. Work in and around any excavations will be guided by relevant OSHA
I regulations. If utilized, excavating will be limited to specific work areas. However,! excavations may remain open temporarily for a variety of reasons. Workers should avoid such
excavations as necessary. Temporary fencing will not be required around excavations-I provided they are not left open over night. Pits and trenches left open over night or over
-weekends will require marking with hazard tape for short-term safety. If excavations will
I remain open and unattended for longer periods of time, a temporary fence will be installed for
I security and safety reasons.

being used, etc.).
Practice good housekeeping habits (i.e., keep traffic and work areas free of
debris or obstacles, dispose of all trash properly, keep tools properly stored
when not in use, keep supplies properly stored, and patrol the area prior to the
end of the workday).
Misuse of tools and equipment or circumventing safety devices can result in
injury to yourself and/or others. Do not use make-shift tools or equipment to
perform your job. Keep all machinery guards, guard rails, and other protective
devices in place and in good operating order. Use only properly functioning
tools and equipment.
Promptly report all occupational injuries/illnesses, unsaf'e and unhealthy
practices, and conditions to the SSO.
Follow 29 CFR 1910.1200 labeling requirements to reduce potential exposures
to chemicals used on-site as cleaning agents or other purposes.
Follow appropriate fire protection requirements and fire prevention practices.
4.0 PERSONI{EL TRAINING REQUIREMtrNTS
Appropriate training of workers will be required to ensure that personnel are informed of the
potential hazards associated with the work and to ensure that the quality of the work meets
expectations. These training requirements apply only to personnel that will enter the work
area(s).
Consistent with OSHA's 29 CFR I9l0.l2O regulation covering Hazardous Waste Operations
and Emergency Response, site personnel are required to be trained in accordance with the
standard. At a minimum, they are required to be trained to recognize the hazards on-site, the
provisions of this HASP, and the responsible personnel.
4.1 Pre-assignment and Annual Refresher Training
Prior to arrival on-site, JBR will be responsible for certifying that JBR employees meet the
requirements of pre-assignment training. Consistent with OSHA 29 CFR i910.120 paragraph
(e)(3), and where appropriate, each employee should be able to provide a document certifying
dates of 40 hours of training and 3 days of actual field experience under the direct supervision
of a trained, experienced supervisor for general site workers. Personnel must receive eight
hours of annual refresher training in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.120, paragraph e(8).

4.3 Training and Debriefing Topics
The SSO will discuss those topics found in Table 4-1 with the Field Personnel prior to
corlmencement of, or change in, site tasks. Site training will be documented by noting
topic(s) and attendants.
5.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO BE UStrD
Personal protective equipment will be used to reduce the potential for workers to be exposed
to chemical or physical hazards that may be encountered on the site. This section describes
the standard work attire that will be used during the site remediation and defines the criteria
established for upgrading to more protective PPE.
5.1 Levels of Protection
Personnel wear protective equipment when activities involve hazardous concentrations of
known or suspected atmospheric contamination, when hazardous concentrations of vapors,
gases, or particulates may be generated by site activities, or when direct contact with skin-
affecting substances may occur. Full-face piece respirators protect lungs, gastrointestinal
tract, and eyes against airborne toxins. Chemical-resistant clothing protects the skin from
contact with skin-destructive and absorbable chemicals.
The specific levels of protection and necessary components for each have been divided into
four categories according to the degrees of protection afforded. Guidelines for selecting the
appropriate PPE for each level of protection listed below can be found in 29 CFR L9l0.LzO,
Appendix B, General Description and Discussion of the [rvels of Protection and Protective
Gear.
Level A:
Level B:
Level C:
Level D:
Should be worn when the highest level of respiratory, skin, and eye protection is
needed.
Should be worn when the highest level of respiratory protection is needed, but a
lesser level of skin protection. Level B is the primary level of choice when
encountering totally unknown environments.
Should be worn when the criteria for using air-purifying respirators are met, and a
lesser level of skin protection is needed.
Should be worn only as a work uniform and not in any area with respiratory or skin
hazards. It provides minimal protection against chemical hazards.
I
I
I
JBR ENVIRONMENTAL CONSUL'IANTS INC.
LAUNDRY SUPPLY COMPANY PROJECT HEALTH AND SAFE'I'Y PI-AN ti
t
I In situations where the type of chemical, concentration, and possibilities of contact are not
known, the appropriate level of protection must be selected based on professional experience
I
and judgment until the hazards can be better identified.
I Table 5-1 lists the specific level of protection for workers at this site. PPE requirements and
choice of materials are also identified.
T
Modifications of these levels are permitted, and routinely employed during site work activities
f to maximize efficiency. For example, Level C respiratory protection and [rvel D skin
I protection may be required for a given task. Likewise the type of chemical protective
ensemble (i.e., material, format) will depend upon contaminants and degrees of contact. The
I level of protection is based upon the following:II : i';[Txf#:*J*rfid,::":,.;:;"":ffi:.';,:,.*
t l"#;::XJ. "f:i'.Hlli:'J:.#'1,::ffi*i'r';"o..,ies such as toxicity, roure or

6.0 MEDICAL SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS
Medical monitoring programs are designated to track the physical condition of employees on a
regular basis as well as document pre-employment or baseline conditions prior to potential
exposures. The medical surveillance program is a part of each employer's health and safety
program.
6.1 Baseline or Pre-enrployrnent Monitoring
Prior to being assigned to a hazardous or a potentially hazardous activity involving exposure to
toxic materials, each employee must receive a baseline or pre-employment physical. It should
categorize employees as fit-for-duty and able to wear respiratory protection. The contents of
the physical is to be determined by the employer's medical consultant. As suggested by
NIOSH/OSHA/USCG/EPA's Occupational Safety & Health Guidance Manual for Hazardous
Waste Site Activities and 29 CFR 19L0.120, the minimum medical monitoring requirements
for work at this site includes the following:
Complete medical and work history
Physical examination
Pulmonary function tests (FVC and FEVI)
Chest X-ray
EKG
Eye examination and visual acuity
Audiometry
Urinalysis
Blood chemistry, including hematology, semm analyses, and blood lead levels
6.2 Periodic Monitoring
ln addition to the baseline or pre-employment physical, all ernployees require a periodic
physical within the last twelve months unless the advising physician believes a shorter interval
is appropriate. The employer's medical consultant should prescribe an adequate physical
which fulfills OSHA 29 CFR 1910.120 requirements. The baseline or pre-employment
physical outlined in Section 6.1 rnay be applicable.

T
t
All personnel working in contaminated or potentially contaminated areas at this site will verify
f currency (within twelve months) with respect to medical monitoring. This is done by
I providing written documentation from the examining physician stating the date of the exam, a
statement that the worker is qualified to work on a hazardous waste site, and the worker is
I medically qualified to wear the level of PPE required for the site.I
6.3 Site Specific Medical Monitoring
I Chemical hazards for this site were identified from client-supplied information, results of
I sampling, and interviews available to JBR. Task hazards have been determined based on the
I planned scope of work. In neither case, were either the types of hazards or expected doses
sufficient to warrant additional medical monitoring beyond current baseline and annual
I physicals for hazardous waste site workers. Therefore, for activities at this site. no site
I specific tests beyond those found in Section 6.1 rvill be required prior tb individuals entering
the work area.
I 6.4 Exposure/Injury/Medical Support
t As a follow-up to an injury or possible exposure above established exposure limits, allr employees are entitled to and encouraged to seek medical attention and physical testing.
r Depending upon the type of exposure, it is critical to perform follow-up testing within 24-48
I hours. It will be up to the employer's medical consultant to advise the type of test required to
accurately monitor for exposure effects.
I 6.5 Exit Physicat
I At termination of employment or permanent reassignment to an activity or location which does
I not represent a risk of exposure to hazardous substances, JBR may request the employee take
an exit physical. If his/her last physical was within the last six months, the advising medical
I
consultant can use that physical exam as the exiting physical.
The purpose of air monitoring is to identify and quantify airborne contaminants in order to
I verify and determine the level of worker protection needed. Initial screening for identificationr is often qualitative, i.e., the contaminant, or the class to which it belongs, is demonstrated to
- be present but the determination of its concentration (quantification) must await subsequentI

testing. Two principal approaches are available for identifying and/or quantifying airborne
contaminants:
The on-site use of direct-reading instruments
Laboratory analysis of air samples obtained by gas sampling bags, collection
media (i.e., filter, sorbent), and/or wet-contaminant collection methods
A direct-reading photo-ionization detector (PID), or equivalent, will be used to monitor total
organic vapor concentrations in the ambient air of the (outdoor) work area. Air sampling will
not be conducted for this project.
The OSHA/NIOSH/EPA/USCG Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for
Hazardous Waste Site Activities provides an overview of available monitoring/sampling
instrumentation for on-site use and their specific application. For the specific instrument to be
used, calibration of the instrument is to be performed in accordance with the instrument's
calibration procedures.
For our specific tasks, a direct-reading PID will be used to measure exposures to organic
vapors. Based on the available information and the contaminants expected to be present at the
site, a PID reading of 5 ppm or greater (above background) in the breathing zone (point of
inhalation) will indicate that the half-face respirator with appropriate combination
HEPA/organic vapor cartridges must be worn. A reading of 10 ppm or greater (above
background) will require a re-evaluation of the work plan and a temporary work stoppage until
the situation can be evaluated.
8.0 SITE CONTROL MEASI]RES
The following section defines measures and procedures for maintaining site control. Site
control is an essential component in the implementation of the site health and safety program.
8.f Buddy System
The implementation of a buddy system is required when conditions present a risk to personnel.
A buddy system requires at least two people who work as a team; each looking out for each
other" Work activities on this site will be done under a buddy system once organic vapor
concentrations are sufficient to require the half-face respirator. Sampling will not require a
buddy.

8.6 Fugitive Dust Control
No fugitive dust is expected to result from the anticipated on-site activities.
9.0 DECONTAMINATION PLAN
Table 5-i lists the tasks and specific levels of protection required for each task. Personal
protective equipment used during decontamination will be consistent with these specific levels.
However, it is not anticipated that extensive decontamination will be required. If the SSO or
HSO determine site activities are more hazardous than anticipated, then this plan will be
amended.
9.1 Standard Operating Procedures
Decontamination involves the orderly and controlled removal of contaminants. All site
personnel should minimize contact with contaminants in order to minimize the need for
extensive decon. The SSO, with advice from the HSO, will establish decontamination
procedures that meet the intent of the Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for
Hazardous Waste Site Activities, Section 10 and Appendix D.
The following general procedures will be used on this site:
Used PPE articles should be placed in appropriate receptacles for recycle or
disposal.
Personnel should be familiar with proper decontamination techniques (i.e.,
removing PPE clothing in an inside out manner).
Before exiting the regulated work area, personnel must have removed all
protective clothing and gear, then they must have washed their hands and facial
areas with soap and water (the practice of proper hygiene habits). Alternatively,
disposable moist towelettes may be used to minimize the volumes of waste
water generated"

9.3 Equipment Decontamination
All equipment and personnel working in the work area that come in contact with soil and
ground water will be decontaminated before leaving the work area. Decontamination facilities
will include a high pressure sprayer for use on heavy equipment. Heavy equipment will be
decontaminated at the end of the project by brushing, scraping, or use of the high pressure
sprayer on equipment that has comt! in contact with contaminated media. All waste water will
be collected in drums and stored on site pending the selection of an appropriate disposal
option.
All disposable protective clothing, plastic sheeting, or other materials that have come in
contact with contaminated media shall be containerized and disposed of properly. Equipment
and solvents used fbr decontamination shall be decontaminated or disposed of properly.
Cotton coveralls shall be laundered when necessary at a commercial laundry. Commercial
laundries or cleaning establishments that decontaminate protective clothing or equipment shall
be informed of the potentially harmful effects of exposures.
1O.O EMERGENCY RESPONSE/CONTINGENCY PLAN
This section describes contingencies and emergency planning procedures to be implemented at
I the site. To the best of knowledge, this plan is compatible with local, state and federal
I disaster and emergency management plans as appropriate.
10.1 Pre-Emergency Planning
During the initial health and safety meeting, all employees will be trained in, and reminded of,
provisions of the emergency response plan, communications systems, and evacuation routes as
warranted. This plan may be periodically reviewed by the SSO and revised if necessary by the
HSO. This would ensure that this plan is adequate and consistent with prevailing site
conditions.
10.2 Personnel Roles and Lines of Authority
The Site Supervisor has primary responsibility for responding to, and correcting, emergency
situations. This includes taking appropriate measures to ensure the safety of site personnel and
the public. Although unlikely, possible actions may involve evacuation of personnel from the
site area. He/she is additionally responsible fbr ensuring that corrective measures have been
implemented and appropriate authorities notified.

10.6 Emergency Medical Treatrnent Procedures
Any person who becomes ill or injured in the work area must be decontaminated, as
appropriate. If the injury or illness is minor, decontamination should be completed and first
aid administered prior to transport. If the patient's condition is serious, at least partial
decontamination should be completed if additional injury would not be sustained (i.e.,
complete disrobing of the victim and redressing in clean coveralls or wrapping in a blanket).
First aid can be administered while awaiting an ambulance or paramedics. All injuries and
illnesses must be immediately reported to the Site Supervisor.
Any person being transported to a clinic or hospital for treatment should take with them
information on the chemical(s) they have been exposed to at the site. This information is
included in Table 3-1.
Any vehicle used to transport contaminated personnel will be treated and cleaned as necessary.

The remediation process will not likely require the use or generation of any hazardous materials
that would warrant significant concern related to spills. However, the procedures discussed in
this section comprise the spill containment program in place for activities at the site.
The following procedures shall be followed for handling drums and containers of hazardous
materials or waste:
All drums and containers used during the cleanup shall meet the appropriate DOT,
OSHA, and EPA requirements for the waste that they will contain.
Drums and containers shall be inspected and their integrity assured prior to being
moved. Drums or containers that cannot be inspected before being moved because
of storage conditions, shall be positioned in an accessible location and inspected
prior to further handling.
Operations on site will be organized so as to minimize the amount of drum or
container movement.
Employees involved in the drum or container operations shall be warned of the
hazard associated with the containers.
Where spills, leaks, or ruptures may occur, adequate quantities of spill containment
equipment (e. g., absorbent, pillows, etc.) will be stationed in the immediate area.
The spill containment program must be sufficient to contain and isolate the entire
volume of any hazardous substances being transferred.
Drums or containers that cannot be moved without failure, shall be emptied into
a sound container.

r 1.0 Heat StressI
Heat stress is caused by various factors which include environmental conditions, what a person
I wears (including PPE), workload, and even a person's individual characteristics. Susceptibility
I to heat stress can vary between individuals depending on factors such as lack of physical
fitness, obesity, alcohol and drug use, age, rest and others. Since the occurrence of heat stress
I
depends on these factors, all personnel should be monitored.
Attachment 1: Heat and Cold Stress
1.1 Heat Stress Monitoring
I For individuals wearing penneable clothing (standarcl clothes and work clothing),
I recommendations for monitoring requirements, including work/rest schedules, are detailed in
I the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGI-H) TLV booklet. For
semi- or non-permeable encapsulating protective clothing these standards can't be used
I directly. However, correction factors for this type of protective clothing are listed in the
I above reference. Under these conditions, the work party members shoulcl be monitored when
the work area temperature is above 70 degrees Fahrenheit (F).
. Adjust work schedules (i.e., modify work/rest schedules in accordance with the
above monitoring requirements).
. Provide shelter or shaded areas for the protection of site workers during rest
periods.
. Maintain worker's body fluids at normal levels. The fluid intake must
approximately equal the amount of water and electrolytes lost in sweat. The
following steps will be taken to accomplish this:
. Maintain water temperature at 50 to 60 degrees F.
. Have the workers drink 16 ounces of water or dilute drinks (i.e.,
electrolyte solutions such as Gatorade) prior to commencing work
activities.
. Urge workers to drink eight ounces of plain water or dilute drinks at
each rest period.
. Encourage workers to rnaintain an optimal level of physical fitness.
Acclimatize workers to work conditions where indicated.
I Monitoring for heat stress should be done by utilizing the buddy system (two work party
members monitoring each other for the symptoms of heat stress) or by the SSO during rest
I periods. Preventative measures and proper training will help avoid serious heat stress related! illnesses. To avoid heat stress the following steps will be taken.

Transport to medical facility for further treatment since Heat Stroke is a medical
emergency
If warm weather or other conditions suggest that on-site supervision by more qualified
personnel may be appropriate to protect workers from heat stress, this plan should be re-
evaluated. Specifically, the following monitoring methods may be required:
During rest periods from site work activities, the heart rate, deep body temperature and, if
possible, body water loss should be monitored when conditions warrant. Additional guidance
on this type of monitoring requirements along with recommended work/rest schedules are
provided in the Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for Hazardous Waste Site
Activities. These guidelines are summarized below:
The heart rate should not exceed 110 beats/minute at the beginning of the rest
period. If this rate is exceeded, then the work cycle should be reduced by l13.
The deep body ternperature (about one degree F higher than the oral
temperature) should not exceed 100.6 degrees F at the end of the work period
(an ear temperature probe unit for monitoring deep body temperature can be
used for this purpose). If this temperature is exceeded, the work cycle must
also be reduced by ll3. No work party member is allowed to wear semi- or
impermeable clothing if their deep body temperature exceeds 101.6 degrees F.
If it is possible to obtain an accurate body weight (within .25 lb.) then the
weight should be measured at the beginning and the end of each work day
(providing the individual is wearing similar clothing). The wei-eht recorded
should not exceed L.5% total body weight loss in a work day.
2.0 Cold Stress
The effects of extreme cold exposure (low temperatures and when the wind chill factor is
sufficiently high) are frostbite, hypothermia and impaired work ability when working at a
hazardous waste site. Some of the control measures include the use of appropriate clothing,
the availability of warm shelter, and the careful scheduling of work/rest periods. These
control measures should be taken to help prevent the worker's deep body temperature from
talling below 96.8 degrees F.
An early warning to the danger of cold stress is pain in the extremities. During prolonged
cold exposure, maximum severe shivering develops when the body temperature has fallen to
95 degrees F. This must be taken as a danger sign and exposure to cold should be
immediately terminated. For additional guidelines on evaluation and control of cold stress
refer to the ACGIH TLV booklet.

I.O INTRODUCTION
This quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) plan summarizes the procedures to be used in
the QA/QC program for the site cleanup at Laundry Supply Company's property located at
3785 West 1987 South in Salt Lake City where perchloroethylene has been released to soil and
ground water. A quality assurance (QA) program is designed to define procedures for the
evaluation and documentation of sampling and analytical methods to provide a uniform basis
for reporting and managing of data. Quality control (QC) is related to tasks and procedures
that provide a measure of performance of analytical procedures and accuracy and precision of
data and provides a mechanism for corrective action. [n addition to the QA/QC procedures
routinely used at the laboratory to maintain State of Utah certification, JBR Environmental
Consultant's Inc. (JBR) proposes to use the additional procedures discussed below.
The objectives of the QA plan are to provide the most meaningful information at the most
economical cost. As part of the Laundry Supply Company site investigation, QA/QC pertains
to soil and ground water sampling procedures, sample handling, chain-of-custody, and
analytical control.
A QA/QC plan is established to promote collection of data that are sufficient and of adequate
quality for their intended uses. The goals of the QA/QC program are to provide information
by which:
Evaluations can be made regarding the performance of field and laboratory
activities
Quantitative measures of accuracy and precision of data can be evaluated for
each analyte and physical test
Determinations can be made regarding the use and application of data to the
project.
2.0 FrELD TNSTRLJMENTATTON QUALTTY CONTROL
All instrumentation used in field activities will be calibrated once each day, at a minimum,
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Calibration of instruments is necessary to
maintain properly operating equipment and to demonstrate that instrumental response is
adequate. Data from each calibration will be transcribed into the field log book to preserve a
record of calibration for proof of acceptability of collected field data. lnformation which must
be logged during calibration includes:
1) date and time of calibration
2) names of persons calibrating the instrument

3) brief statement of calibration techniques
4) observed response of instrument
5) recorlmendations about instrument maintenance or repair
In those instances when an instrument will not calibrate, the monitoring personnel will attempt
I a field repair of the impaired equipment. These personnel are responsible for seeing that spare
I parts and other appropriate items for field equipment are available for field repairs to minimize
equipment down time. To the extent possible or practical, backup field equipment will beI available.I
The field log book is examined by field personnel at the end of each day to review instrument
I response. Any necessary maintenance is immediately performed to assure that instruments arer in proper operating condition prior to the next field use. AII records of maintenance and
I repairs and names of individuals doing the work are logged in the instrument book. It is
I anticipated that a pH meter and photo-ionization detector will be used during the field
activities.
I
3.0 SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS, CONTAINERS, AND PRESERVATION
I Samples collected during the investigation will be contained and preserved according to their
type (soil or water) and the type of analysis to be performed. This section provides
I information on the recommended container for each sample type, amount of sample requiredr for analysis, proper preservation procedures, and the maximum allowable holding time before
analyses of samples. Preservation retards biological action and reaction of inorganic species
I wnich, in some cases, may render the sample unrepresentative of actual field conditions.
- Preservation methods are generally limited to chemical addition, pH control, and refrigeration.
I Container size and type, preservative, and maximum holding time before analysis are specified
in Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste (USEPA SW-846; September 1986 as amended by
I
Update I [July, 19921) and are presented below in Table 1.

above.
4.0 ELINITNATION OF' CROSS CONTAN,{INAT'TON
As a general rule, n,hen several locations are to be sampled and these locations include areas
expected to have lower and higher levels of contamination, sampling will progress from less
contaminated areas to more contaminated areas. This procedure lessens the chance of
unintentional contamination of cleaner samples through the use of contaminated sampling
equipment.
Only new, laboratory-supplied sample bottles will be used to collect samples. The appropriate
type, volume, and number of containers required is determined by the type of analysis (Table
1) and QA/QC sample requirements (Table 2).
The prevention of sample cross-contamination is a major concern. Where possible, disposable
sarnpling equipment will be used to alleviate this problem. Alternatively, non-disposable
equipment will be decontaminated prior to initial use and between sampling locations to
prevent cross-contamination.
If non-disposable sampling equipment is used, it will be cleaned as follows:
1) Initially rinse item with tap water (fronr pressure sprayer or squirt bottle) to
renr()ve gr()ss contamirtat itlrt
2) Clean iterr by washing with a non-phospliate detergent and tap water. A bruslr
will be used to dislodge sediments.
3) Rinse with tap water (using bruslr il'rtccessary) and shake off excess water
4) Rinse with distilled u,atcr.

5) Place the sampling equipment in a plastic bag and seal to prevent accidental
contamination during storage.
5.0 QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE DURING SAMPLING
Sampling methods are described in detail in Section 3.0 of the Site Investigation Plan for the
Laundry Supply Property.
Samples collected for analysis will be accompanied by field blanks. Also called
decontamination or equipment blanks, field blanks check the adequacy of the decontamination
procedures used at the site. These samples will receive identification numbers similar to actual
samples and will be submitted as normal field samples. Sample collection equipment (e.g.,
trowels, bailers) is decontaminated as described above in Section 4.0. Distilled water is then
poured over the sampling equipment and the rinsate collected in a clean-sample container.
Field blanks are not required if disposable sampling equipment is used.
Trip blanks will be utilized as a quality assurance technique for ground water samples. A
laboratory-prepared trip blank, consisting of distilled water in a sealed sample container will
be transported and handled similarly to the actual samples. One trip blank per ground water
sampling episode will be used and will be submitted for laboratory analysis to test the integrity
of the transportation and handling methods.
Overall, field quality assurance samples typically represent 5% of all samples (EPA, 1992).
However, a duplicate or replicate sample will be collected and analyzed for every ten samples.
The guideline for analytical checks is presented in Table 2.

I 6.0 CHAIN OF CUSTODY, LABELING, AND RECORD KEEPING
I All sample bottles will be clearly labeled with an adhesive label. Example labels are shown in
Figure l.
The samples will remain in the custody of the person obtaining the samples, or locked in a
secure area accessible only to the sampler. A chain-of-custody form will be completed and
will accompany the samples to the laboratory. Coolers containing samples will be sealed with
a chain-of-custody seal prior to transfer from the site. An example of a chain-of-custody seal
is shown in Figure 1. All persons relinquishing or accepting custody of the samples will be
required to sign and date/time the chain-of-custody form. Upon delivery of the samples, the
analytical laboratory will copy the form, so that a copy can be kept by the sampler as part of
the field records. The chain-of-custody form may also include a listing of the analyses to be
requested for each sample. An example of such a combined chain-of-custody/analytical
request form is included as Appendix A.

7.0 DATA VALIDATION, REDUCTION, AND REPORTING
Data validation for a sampling effort is an examination of all documentation for field
instrumentation and method QC elements to ensure that all requirements have been met. Field
and laboratory documentation is verified by examining photographs, copies of all data sheets,
log books, chain-of-custody forms, etc.
The laboratory QC review will include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following:
Overview of the data package for inclusion of all appropriate raw data and
laboratory QC documents.
Review of holding time for all analytes.
field notes will be recorded
Mistakes will be stricken out
