APPENDIX D

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

CONTAMINANTS OF CONCERN

Potential health effects from a chemical exposure are dependent on several exposure factors suchas: toxtctty of substances, duration of exposure, concentration during exposure, and the overallhealth of the person exposed.

From previous site Investigations, groundwater and soH samples from the shallow monitoring wells(0-30 feet) have shown Carbon Tetrachlortde (CCL4) concentrations from 0 to 820 parts per billion(ppb) and Trichloroethylene (TCE) concentrations from 0 to 120 ppb.

The chemicals associated with this site are: Trichloroethylene, Carbon Tetrachlorfde, andChloroform. The following is a health analysis of these chemicals.

Trichloroethylene (TCE)

Exposure Hazards: Inhalation - symptoms range from irritation of the nose and throat to nausea, anattitude of Irresponsibility, blurred vision, and finally disturbance of central nervous system resultingIn cardiac failure. Chronic exposure may cause organic injury. Inaestton - symptoms similar toInhalation. Skin - defattlng action can cause dermatitis. Eves - slightly Irritating sensation andlachrymatton.

(OP8* Irritant characteristics: Vapors cause a slight irritant to the eyes or respiratory system ifpresent In high concentrations. The effect is temporary.

Liquid or solid irritant characteristics: Minimum hazard. If spilled on clothing and allowed to remain,may cause Irritation and reddening of the skin.

Regulatory Standards: Threshold Limit Value (TLV) - 50 ppm; Short Term Exposure Umtts (STEL) -200 ppm for 30 minutes; Odor Threshold-50 ppm; Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health(IDLH) - 1,000 ppm.

Personal Protective Equipment: Organic vapor gas canister, self-contained breathing apparatus foremergencies, neoprene or vinyl gloves; chemical safety goggles; face-shield; neoprene safety shoes;neoprene suit or apron for splash protection.

Additional Information on these chemicals can be found In the Material Safety Data Sheets located inAppendix 0.

Carbon Tetrachloride

Health Hazards: ip^ ftTl - Dizziness, tncoordlnatlon, anesthesia; may be accompanied by nauseaand liver damage. Kidney damage also occurs, often producing decrease or stopping of urinaryoutput Inoestlon- causes severe liver damage and death If Ingested.

Vapor fflP8* Irritant characteriatfca: Vapors cause moderate Irritation such that personnel will findhigh concentrations unpleasant The effect Is temporary.

Liquid or Solid Irritant ChflrDtfftftofllrft; Minimum hazard. If spilled on clothing and allowed to remain,may cause Irritation and reddening of the skin.

Regulatory Standards: TLV - Sppm, STEL - 25ppm for 30 minutes, Odor Threshold - greater than10ppm, IDLH - 300ppm.

HYDROCHLORIC ACID SAFETY

Hydrochloric (muriatic) acid Is an extremely strong corrosive, with a variety of uses Includingcleaning. All personnel should be aware that this material, and especially Its by-products, may posethe possibility of being extremely hazardous.

All personnel should wear full-face air purifying respirators when using hydrochloric acid on anytower cleaning project. All personnel shall wear Polyethylene coated Tyvek coveralls with attachedhood, and either Neoprene or Nitrle Butyl Rubber (NBR) gloves.

Clothing shall be immediately removed if a splash occurs and should then be rinsed with copiousamounts of water to reduce the possibility of severe bums. An eye wash bottle or portable eyewash station, as well as copious amounts of dean, potable water for dilution, washing or rinsingshall be kept on site while conducting operations. In the event of a splash to the eyes, personnelshall Immediately use copious amounts of water to irrigate the eyes for at least ten (10) minutes.They should then report directly to the Emergency Department of the nearest hospital.

When using hydrochloric acid (HCL) from drums, personnel should never add anything Into thedrum, Including unused product Drum lids should never be left off for any period of time. If HCL isused In stripper towers for cleaning, personnel shall not, under any circumstances, climb ladders toadd product to the tops of towers.

The addition of hydrochloric acid to samples may cause hydrogen sulflde (H2S) to form. Hydrogensufflde is an extremely toxic, potentially lethal, gas wtth a characteristic "rotten egg" odor, which hasbeen identified by the USEPA as an acutely toxic substance. It has an Occupational Safety andHealth Administration (OSHA) Permissible Exposure Urn* (PEL) of 10 ppm. This is considered verylow for any substance. The Immediate Danger to Ufa and Health level for this substance is 300ppm.

It should also be pointed out that air-purifying respirators are completely Ineffective againstHydrogen Sulflde (H2S). Any upgrade from tower cleaning Level C protection, due to H2S exposurelevels above 10 ppm, wi go directly to Level B. In the event levels exceed 10 ppm on the H2Scdormetric tube, please exit the area and contact the Regional Health & Safety Manager or theProject Manager immediately before donning level B protection.

To ensure that personnel are not exposed whle conducting this operation, colormetric detector(Draeger) tubes wil be used to measure H2S concentration In ambient air. This is to be doneImmediately adjacent to any opening In the tower before manways or manheads are completelyopened, or any connections to the tower are made.

APPENDIX Q: EXCAVATION/TRENCHING

PurpoM

The intent of these requirements Is to help reduce the risk of injury to all persons working In oraround trenching and excavation operations. These requirements are in accordance with OSHASubpart P 29 CFR 1926.65 - .653.

Definitions

According to the OSHA construction safety and health standards, 29 CFR 1926, the following Isdefined:

Trench: A narrow excavation in which the depth is greater than the width, althoughthe width Is not greater than 15 feet.

Excavation: Any mechanically made cavity or depression In the earth's surface. This canInclude excavations for anything from cellars to highways.

CompetentPerson: One who Is capable of identifying existing or predictable hazards In the

surroundings or working conditions that are unsanitary, hazardous, ordangerous to employees, and who has authorization to take promptcorrective measures to eliminate such hazards.

General Requirements

OSHA requires that In all excavations, employees exposed to danger from moving ground shall beprotected by a shoring system, sloping of the ground, or some other equivalent means. A trainedcompetent person will be on site to determine sol conditions and appropriate control measures.

In addition, OSHA requires that all trenches more than S feet deep In either hard and compact orsoft and unstable sol be sloped, shored, sheeted, braced or otherwise supported and that trenchesless than 5 feet In depth also be effectively protected when hazardous ground movement may beexpected.

One method of ensuring the safety and health of workers in a trench or excavation is to slope thesides of the cut to the "angle of repose," the greatest angle above the horizontal plane at which amaterial wH lie without sliding. The angle of repose varies with different kinds of sol. and must bedetermined on each individual project When an excavation has water conditions, slty material orloose boulders, or when It Is being dug In areas where erosion, deep frost, or slide planes areapparent the angle of repose must be flattened

Specffle Requirement*

a. A competent person must be on site to Identify excavation/trenching hazards andimplement appropriate control measure*.

b. Before excavation, all utility companies should be contacted andunderground utilities located to reduce accidental damage to gas,sewer, electric, telephone lines, eta In areas where avalable, theutltty "DIG-SAFE* hot line, located in front of the local telephonebook, should be contacted.

APPENDIX H

Electrical Safety

• Relieve pressure In hydraulic or pneumatic lines between the Isolation valves and theequipment (If applicable);

• As each device Is deactivated, each employee performing work on the equipment applieshis/her own lock and tag on each disconnecting means that Is used to de-energize orisolate the equipment (note that a multiple adaptor shall be used when more than one lockIs to be applied); and

• Verifying that each device Is indeed deactivated.

To lace the equipment back in service once work Is completed, perform the steps for Isolation in thereverse order, after ensuring that the equipment is ready to be restarted, and that all affectedemployees are safely positioned before re-energizing the equipment

Additional considerations Include:

• Locks shall not be keyed alike, or shall there be duplicate or master keys;

• When several contractors or Independent parties are working on the same site, the projectmanager shall be responsible for providing a group lockout/tagout device;

• When different shift crews are required to perform the work, the Incoming shift workers shallattach their locks before the relieved workers remove theirs to ensure that the disconnectingmeans Is never without a lock. In addition, at the beginning of the shift, the supervisor shoulcheck the system lockout to ensure the continued safety of employees;

• A site master key may be used In addition to each employee's lock at sites wheremaintenance work begun by one technician must be finished by another;

• The procedure has a contingency plan for situations where a lock Is inadvertently left Inplace following completion of work.

APPENDIX I: CONTINGENCY PLANS

I. CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR EVACUATION

Although very unlikely, It la possible that a site emergency could necessitate evacuating all personnelfrom the site. If such a situation develops, the Site Safety Officer or a designated representative willnotify the Project Supervisor (or vice versa) of the event, and appropriate signal will be given for siteevacuation. The above officers shall ensure that the evacuation is carried out In a calm, controlledfashion.

All personnel shall exit the site and shall congregate in an area designated by the Project Supervisorand/or Site Safety Officer. The route of evacuation will be dependent on wind direction, severity andtype of Incident, etc.

The Project Supervisor and/or Site Safety Officer shall ensure that all personnel are accounted for.If someone is missing the Site Safety Officer will alert emergency personnel. This may be done bycontacting the local Police Department Advise the police of the situation and request and expedientresponse by Emergency Services personnel.

Contact the Project Manager and/or Health & Safety Manager as soon as possible after attending tothe evacuation.

II. CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR MEDICAL EMERGENCY

The following procedures should be instituted Immed lately in the event of a medical emergencyInvolving illness or injury to one of Groundwater Technology's employees while on site.

The site should be shut-down and Immediately secured. The area in which the Injury or illnessoccurred should be considered off-limits until the cause of the illness or injury Is known.

In the event of a non-trauma related Rlness or injury, instantaneous real-time air monitoring withflame or photokxilzatton detectors should be acquired to ascertain If the llness or Injury was causedby potential exposure to hazardous materials. Monitoring should be done both upwind anddownwind of the Incident site.

Assess the victim's condition for the nature of injury or Illness. Pay dose attention to the level ofconsciousness and any cardiac or respiratory Involvement

If the victim appears to be critically Injured (l.e. unconsciousness, cardiac or respiratoryabnormalities, stroke, seizures, etc.). support the victim's vital functions. Administer CPR If needed.Notify Police, Fire Department and EMS Units Immediately.

attention to the level of consciousness and any cardiac or respiratory involvement. Use special careto ensure that you do not become contaminated as well, if any abnormal symptoms are present,notify Police, Fire Department and EMS units Immediately.

Attempt to Identify the exact type of material Involved. Use extreme caution tf the danger of beingcontaminated exists.

The victim should be decontaminated as soon as possible after removal from the contaminatedenvironment. This should be done In non-contaminated area well away from the source of theproblem. Extreme care should be used to avoid cross-contamination. The victim should be washedby water spray or safety shower. Contaminated protective clothing should be removed afterwashing.

The victim should not be transported until decontamination is performed to the degree that medicalpersonnel wW not be subjected to cross-contamination.

If the victim appears to be critically Injured (I.e. unconsciousness, cardiac or respiratoryabnormalities, seizures, etc.), support the victim's vital functions. Administer CPR if needed.

If the victim appears to be symptomatic, he/she should be transported to the nearest EmergencyRoom by an EMS unit staffed with qualified personnel.

If the victim appears to be asymptomatic, the victim should be decontaminated, relieved of duty forthe day and returned to the office, If during normal working hours. An occupational physician fromthe current medical surveillance contractor should be contacted.

Contact the Project Manager and/or Hearth & Safety Manger as soon as possible after attending tothe needs of the victim. The Incidents should be documented both in the project file and on theGroundwater Technology Preliminary Incident Report Form.

IV. CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR FIRE EMERGENCY

The following procedures should be Instituted Immediately In the event of a fire on site.

The site should be shut-down and Immediately secured. The area In which the fire occurred shouldbe considered ofHImlts untl the cause can be determined. AH non-essential site personnel shouldbe evacuated from the site to a safe, secure area. Notify the Fire Department Immediately.

This may be done by contacting the local Fire Department Advise them of the situation and theidentify of any hazardous material Involved.

The four classes of fire along with their constituents are as follows:

V. CONTINGENCY PLAN FOR SPILL OR AIR RELEASE

The following procedures should be instituted IMMEDIATELY in the event of a spill or air release of ahazardous material on site.

The site should be shut-down and immediately secured. The area in which the spit) or releaseoccurred should be considered off-limits until the cause can be determined and site safety can beevaluated. All non-essential site personnel should be evacuated from the she to a safe, secure area.

The spilled or released product should be Immediately identified and appropriate measures, such asdikes or berms, should be instituted to halt and contain the flow. If the spill extends into statewaterways, the National Response Center and IDEM will be notified immediately. Spill boomsshould be put in place In an attempt to prevent downstream contamination.

Real-time air monitoring with tonlzatlon and combustible has indicators should be started.Monitoring should be done both upwind and downwind of the spill site or release point. Anevaluation of upgrades In personnel protective equipment should be made based on the results ofthe air monitoring.

If the material Is unknown, level B protection Is mandatory. Samples of the material should beacquired to facilitate Identification of the material.

If the results of the monitoring show that the levels of contaminants exceed IDLH values, the siteshould be Immediately evacuated, and the appropriate Federal, State, County and local regulatoryauthorities and emergency response personnel should be notified.

Notify the Police and Rre Departments IMMEDIATELY If contaminants are found to have migratedoff-site into populated areas, a large spll or flammable products Is Involved, or the material Isconsidered acutely toxic or exceeding published IDLH values.

The procedures as listed above should be instituted If there is a discovery of an acutely toxicmaterial In much larger quantities than expected. In this case, all employees on the site should becleared to a safe area and briefed.

The spill or release should be reported to the appropriate federal, state, county and local regulatoryauthorities per the reporting standards of those regulatory agencies.

Contact the Project Manager and/or Health & Safety Manager as soon as possible. The Incidentshould be documented both In the project Me and on the Qroundwater Technology PreliminaryIncident Report Form.

APPENDIX J: DRILLING PROCEDURES

Prior to drilling or excavating, adequate site cleaning and leveling shall be performed toaccommodate heavy equipment and supplies. Care shall be taken to provide a safe working area.Drilling or excavation shall not commence when tree limbs, unstable or Icy ground, or siteobstructions cause unsafe conditions.

Utility locators must visit the site prior to drilling. If a sign warning of buried utilities Is present, donot assume the sign is located above or near the utilities. Be aware and always suspect theexistence of unmarked utilities, such as water and sewer, sprinkler systems, electrical lines for sitelighting, or petroleum lines. Do not touch the rig while drilling if not necessary. Avoid potentialelectric shock from buried lines.

While raising the mast, look up to check for overhead obstructions. All personnel shall be clearedfrom the sides and rear of the mast The mast of the drill rig must maintain a minimum clearance often feet from any overhead electrical cables. All drilling operations shall cease Immediately duringany hazardous weather conditions.

During the drilling operation, two persons (one designated as •driller* and the other as "helper") mustbe present at all times. The helper (whether Groundwater Technology personnel or subcontractors)shall be aware of the emergency shut-off switch. Every attempt must be made to keep unauthorizedpersonnel from entering the work area If this Is not possible, the operation shall be shut down untilthe area is cleared. The Site Safety Officer or designated field worker has the authority andresponsibility to shut down the drilling operations whenever a hazardous situation Is deemedpresent Notify the Project Manager of these conditions and work stoppage.

Keep hands from underneath heavy equipment such as drilling tools. Keep dear of rotatingequipment. Never reach behind or around a rotating drill string for any reason. Avoid loose dothingwhich can become caught In equipment Use a long-handled shovel to remove drill cuttings fromaround the driU string.

If the stabitty of adjoining structures to endangered by drilling or excavating, shoring, bracing orunderpinning shall be necessary. Such shoring, bracing or underpinning shall be inspected dally, ormore often If conditions warrant, by a competent person and protection effectively maintained.

Diversion ditches or dikes shafl be used to divert surface water from entering an excavation or workarea.

Unattended boreholes or excavations shall be adequately covered and barricaded to preventequipment, personnel, animals or visitors from stepping or falling Into the hole.

CONRNED SPACE ENTRY PROCEDURES

Site work may require personnel to enter confined spaces. No employee or subcontractor shallenter an area Identified aa a confined apace without using the confined space entryprocedures described In Table 1 and the stte-specific entry procedures presented in Table 2.The purpose of the confined space entry procedure Is to protect employees from potentiallyhazardous environments and to facilitate immediate rescue in an emergency situation. A ConfinedSpace Entry Permit must be posted at the entrance to each confined space.

CONFINED SPACES

DefinJttoriA oonfirwd space hat limited or restricted means of entry or »xH, I* large tnough for an employee to enter andperform assigned work, and !• not designed for continuous occupancy by the employ**.

ExamplesThese spaoM may include, but art not limited to, underground vaults, tanks, storage bint, pit» and diked areas,vestals, and tttot.

Characteristic*A permit-required confined space is one that meets the definition of a confined space and has one or more of thesecharacteristic*:

• Contains or has the potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere,

• Contains a material that hat the potential for engulfing an entrant,

• Hat an internal configuration that might cause an entrant to be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardlyconverging walls or by a floor that slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross section, and/or

• Contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazards. __

Protocol tof Confined Space EntryPersonnel trained to conduct confined space entry procedure*.

Peftorm the appropriate ak monitoring activity at various depths In the space prior to entry. Monitor for: (1)oxygen level, (2) flammable vapors, and (3) toxic vapors.

Ventilate the atmosphere In the space so that entry may be made safely without respiratory protection. Kthis is not feasible, appropriate respiratory protection must be worn by authorized entrants and attendants.

Wear respiratory protection when ventilation alone can not achieve acceptable atmospheric levels of oxygenor flammable or toxto vapors.

Have appropriate retrieval equipment worn by employees In the event of a mishap. __

track, employees must clear the train-occupied track and the adjacent track,preferably clearing aJI main tracks. When notclear of all main tracks, employees muststand erect and maintain sufficient lookoutfor trains in both directions to see on whichtrack other trains approach. If necessary toclear tracks to prevent being trapped, theywill do so. In high speed territory and whereview is restricted, employees must clear allmain tracks upon approach of a train on anymain track, keeping dear of any track adjoin-ing main tracks.

2) When employees have exclusive use of trackon which they are working, they must stopwork and may stand in center of track onwhich working.

Equipment Operators may stay on theirmachines if operating position is within thegauge of track; otherwise, they will dismountand stand In gauge of track. If the operationof the machine does not foul the adjacenttrack and does not require assistance fromany person on the ground, the machine maycontinue to work. This work is at the opera-tor's option, and is permitted only if the pass-ing train is moving at 30 mph or less.

3610. Test all wood poles before climbing. When makingany test where a broken pole may contact other wires,interfere with traffic, or cause an injury or damage toothers, observe conditions and take the necessary precau-tions. Then:

(a) Remove the dirt from around the pole to atleast twelve inches below the surface of theground. Use a heavy screw driver or similartoot to prod decayed wood from around thisportion of the pole to determine the amount ofgood wood remaining. Also sound the polewith a hammer as high as can be easilyreached to determine the presence of hollow

\ neart

| ) (b) Use a pike pole twelve to sixteen feet long\ " applied to the pole twelve feet from the ground1 on the side which has no support from wires; or messenger. Rock or sway the pole to deter-] mine its condition. If a pike pole is not avaiia-[ ble, move a three-eigths inch handline into4 position twelve feet from the ground. Then| sway the pole at a right angle to the overhead> wires.

! 3611. If the testing of a wood pole indicates a doubtful\ or unsafe condition, temporarily safeguard the pole before! climbing. Observe the following guidelines ini safeguarding:\ (a) Brace a pole less than thirty feet tn height with• three or more pikes at least eighteen feet long.I fully grounded and securely set against the

pole to prevent it from falling in any direction.Place pike buns at least six feet from the buttof the pole, set them firmly and guard them.
