1.0 INTRODUCTION

This is an addendum to the Field Operations Plan (FOP) for aRemedial Design Investigation at the Genzale Plating Company Site,which was approved by USEPA on November 19, 1991. The original FOPwas prepared by Ebasco in October 1988 for the RemedialInvestigation/ Feasibility Study of the Genzale Plating CompanySite. The scope-of-work described in this addendum will beperformed by Ebasco under Work Assignment Number 057-2NP3, EPA ARCS11 Program, Contract Number 68-W8-0110.

This addendum addresses the sampling procedures in the Final WorkPlan for the Remedial Design Investigation of the Genzale PlatingCompany Site, November 1991. The purpose of these additionalsampling activities is to aid the development of Technical ProposalPackages for selecting remediation contractors. The procedures forthis additional sampling, set forth below, are to be incorporatedas part of the FOP and will be conducted in conformance with thestandard operating protocols originally defined.

This addendum is broken down into the following sections:

1.0 Introduction2.0 Supplemental Sampling Program3.0 QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control)

Site location, history, description and previous sampling data areincluded in the FOP and work plan.

2.0 SUPPLEMENTAL SAMPLING PROGRAM

Two upgradient monitoring wells will be installed, developed andsubsequently sampled along with resampling of all the wells sampledduring the RI/FS. Forty-seven (47) locations will be drilled orhand augered to a depth of 4 feet. All the soil samples collectedwill be submitted for analysis of TCL volatiles, TCL semi-volatiles, five metals (Ba, Cr (total and +6) , Cu, Pb and Ni) ,pesticides/PCBs, and total organic carbon, with five samples, fourfrom the yard area near the suspected leaching pits and one from alocation next to the southwest on-site residence, being sent forgeotechnical analysis including the analysis of porosity andpermeability from Shelby tube samples. Tables 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3show the analytical summaries for soil and groundwater sampling.

2.1 MONITORING WELL INSTALLATION/GROUNDWATER SAMPLING

Two monitoring wells (MW-11S and MW-12S) will be installedupgradient of the site, to the north and northeast of the site(Figure 2-1) . Both wells will be screened in the Upper GlacialAquifer and drilled to approximately 45 feet below ground surface.

Both wells will be installed using 6 1/4 in. I.D. hollow stemaugers and constructed with 2 inch I.D. stainless steel screen andriser. The screen will have a slot size of 0.010 inch and be 10feet in length with approximately 7 feet extending into the watertable, to allow for water level fluctuations. An appropriatelysized granular material will be used for the sand pack which willextend at least two feet above the top of the screen, followed bya two foot thick bentonite seal and the remaining annular spacefilled with a cement-bentonite grout.

A water tight mounted cover and casing will also be installed(Figure 2-2 shows well construction details). Soil sampling of themonitoring well borings will be done continuously using 2 inch O.D.carbon steel split spoons. Tables 2-1 and 2-3 show the analyticalsummaries for soil sampling.

All soil sampling procedures, well development and purging will beperformed as detailed in the original FOP, Section 3.3. WellInstallation or as stated in this addendum but in accordance withthe most recent ARCS II Field Technical Guidelines.

In addition, these newly installed wells will then be sampled alongwith a resampling of all the wells which were originally sampled,including the off-site wells, during the RI/FS. The groundwatersampling procedures for all wells are found in Section 3.6 of theFOP. Tables 2-2 and 2-3 show the analytical summaries forgroundwater sampling.

Dissolved metals are to be analyzed for all groundwater samples andfield blanks associated with the groundwater samples in addition tototal metals. A field filtration rinsate blank will be collectedeach day groundwater samples are filtered. The groundwaterfiltration procedures will be performed in accordance with the ARCSII Field Technical Guideline FT-7.02 and the various steps aresummarized below:

1 - Obtain groundwater sample.

2 - Pour sample from bottle into filter apparatus composed ofpolyethylene or borosilicate glass which has been rinsed witha 10% HNO3 solution, followed by a demonstrated analyte-freedeionized water rinse.

3 - Filter sample through a cellulose-based membrane filter of0.45 micron nominal size. Samples are only passed through thefilter once.

4 - Preserve sample immediately with HN03 to a pH less than 2.Verify by pouring a minimal portion of the sample on broadrange pH paper over a collection bowl.

5 - Place analytical samples in cooler and chill to 4°C. Sampleswill be shipped to the appropriate laboratory within 24 hours.

All drilling, soil and groundwater sampling equipment will bedecontaminated as per Section 3.10 of the FOP. All cuttings,decontamination fluids and development water will be placed in 55-gallon drums for storage at the site for eventual removal asdetailed in the FOP.

2.2 SURFICIAL AND SHALLOW SOIL SAMPLING

A total of 47 shallow soil borings will be drilled using eithersplit-spoon sampling and hollow-stem augering or by hand augering.Five samples will be conducted using Shelby tube to collectundisturbed soil samples for analysis of porosity and permeability.All locations will be advanced to a depth of 4 feet and samplescollected from the 0-2 foot and 2-4 foot intervals, except for theeight off-site residence locations. At these eight locations, soilsamples will be collected from the 0-3 inch and 2-4 ft intervals.

It is anticipated that only two locations will require the use ofhollow stem augers. These locations are located in asphaltpavement adjacent to the on-site residence in the northwesternportion of the site.

The procedure for these borings will follow the FOP, Section 3.5Soil Borings/Surface Samples with these exceptions:

o The augers will be advanced through the pavement and sub-base material (if present).

o Measure the thickness of the pavement and sub-base.

o Drive the split spoon 2 feet from this drilled depth asdescribed in Section 3.5 of the FOP.

o Measure the depth and if it remains open drive the nextsplit spoon 2 feet.

o If the boring collapses, advance the boring with theaugers to the bottom of the split spoon sample depth andproceed with the next split spoon.

The remaining 45 locations may be accomplished using hand augeringtechniques. However, two consecutively driven split spoons may berequired at some locations and may be a more cost effective andtime saving option.

The locations for these borings are summarized below and shown inFigure 2-3:

6 locations around the southwest on-site residence

8 locations (2 per each of the 4 adjacent off-siteresidences)

4 locations at grass strip along Kalb Avenue

3 off-site background locations (to be determined)

The following procedures will be used for shallow soil samplesusing hand augers:

1 - Wear appropriate health and safety equipment as outlinedin the Health and Safety Plan (see Appendix B).

2 - Advance a decontaminated stainless steel hand augerbucket to a depth of 2 feet, while collecting the soilmaterial, from the 0 to 2 foot interval, by placing it ina decontaminated stainless steel bowl. At the eight off-site locations, the hand auger would be advanced to adepth of 3 inches to collect soil from the 0 to 3 inchinterval.

3 - VGA and TOC samples must be immediately taken from thefirst collected material in this interval by filling apercentage of the bottles proportional to the percentageof the total sample interval.

4 - Complete hand augering of the sample intervalproportionally filling VGA and TOC bottles. Thoroughlymix the remaining soil in the bowl with a decontaminatedstainless steel implement.

5 - Next transfer the homogenized soil into the sample jarsand package properly and promptly (ARCS II FieldTechnical Guideline FT-7.03).

6 - Next begin to sample the 2 to 4 foot interval followingSteps 2-5.

7 - Place all samples in the sample cooler and chill to 4°C.All samples will be shipped to reach the laboratorywithin 24 hours of sample collection.

8 - Fill out field notebook and Chain-of-Custody forms forsamples.

9 - Backfill the boring with any remaining cuttings.

If two continuous split spoons are to be used instead of handaugers, the procedure listed for sampling in the pavement area willbe followed with the exception that no initial drilling will berequired to advance beyond pavement. Tables 2-1 and 2-3 presentthe analytical summaries for soil sampling.

E0429.LYN 146 e i * - r » 400157

All drilling and sampling equipment will undergo decontaminationprocedures as listed in Section 3.10 of the FOP. A methanolfollowed by a hexane rinse may substitute the acetone rinse. Inaddition, all cuttings, decontamination rinsate and chemicals willbe containerized in 55-gallon drums and stored on site for futuredisposal as specified in the FOP.

2.3 SHELBY TUBE SAMPLING

Shelby tube sampling will be conducted at five locations to collectundisturbed soil samples for analysis of porosity and permeability.The following procedures, as described in Guideline FT-7.03,applies:

1. Clean out the hole to the sampling elevation beingcareful to minimize the chance of disturbance orcontamination of the material to be sampled. Insaturated materials, withdraw the drill bit slowly toprevent loosening of the soil around the hole andmaintain the water level in the hole at or abovegroundwater level.

2. The use of bottom discharge bits or jetting through anopen-tube sampler to clean out the hole shall not beallowed. Any side discharge bits are permitted.

3. The sampler must be of a stationary piston-type, to limitsample disturbance and aid in retaining the sample.Either the hydraulically operated or control-rod-activated-type of stationary piston sampler may be used.Prior to inserting the tube sampler in the hole, check toensure that the sampler head contains a check valve. Thecheck valve is necessary to keep water in the rods frompushing the sample out of the tube sampler during samplewithdrawal and to maintain a suction within the tube tohelp retain the sample.

4. With the sampling tube resting on the bottom of the holeand the water level in the boring at the naturalgroundwater level or above, push the tube into the soilby a continuous and rapid motion, without impacting ortwisting. In no case shall the tube be pushed furtherthan the length provided for the soil sample. Allow afree space in the tube for cuttings and sludge.

5. After pushing the tube, the sampler should sit 5 to 15minutes in the borehole prior to removal. Immediatelybefore removal, the sample must be sheared by rotatingthe rods with a pipe wrench a minimum of two revolutions.

6 Upon removal of the sampler tube from the hole, measurethe length of sample in the tube and also the lengthpenetrated. Remove disturbed material at both end of thetube and measure the length of sample again. Afterremoving at least an inch of soil from the lower end, and

E0429.LYN 15

Y ' j t : 0 » 400158

after inserting an impervious disk, seal both ends of thetube with at least a 1/2-inch thickness of wax applied ina way that will prevent the wax from entering the sample.Newspaper or other types of filler must be placed invoids at either end of the sampler prior to sealing withwax. Place plastic caps on the ends of the sampler, tapethem into place and then dip the ends in wax to sealthem.

7. Affix labels to the tubes as required in Guideline FT-7.05, and record sample number, depth, penetration, andrecovery length on the label. Mark the same informationand "up" direction on the tube with indelible ink, andmark the end of the sample. Complete Chain-of-Custodyand other required forms (see Guidelines FT-7.04 and FT-7.05) . Do not allow tubes to freeze. Store the samplesvertically (with the same orientation they had in theground, i.e., top of sample is up) in a cool place out ofthe sun at all times. Ship samples protected withsuitable resilient packing material to reduce shock,vibration, and disturbance, and in accordance withGuideline FT-7.07.

8. Using soil removed from the ends of the tube, carefullydescribe the sample using the methods presented inGuideline FT-6.02.

2.4 AQUIFER TEST AND INFILTRATION TEST

A review of the existing slug test data will be performed andreevaluated. If the results vary significantly from the estimatein the Feasibility Study, a field infiltration test will beconducted. The test will use a double-ring infiltrometer andproceed according to the ASTM D-3385-88 method for this test, if itis determined to be necessary.

3 . 0 QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL

Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) will conform withprocedures outlined in the FOP and other relevant ARCS II QA/QCprotocols.

3.1 QUALITY CONTROL BLANKS

Three types of QC blanks will be taken during the projectactivities. A field blank will be taken from the samplingequipment after decontamination.

A total of 15 field blanks are anticipated. Three distilled waterblanks will be taken to evaluate the water used during thedecontamination procedures. All field and distilled water blankswill be analyzed for the same parameters (excluding geotechnicalanalyses) as their associated samples (see Tables 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3). Lastly, four trip blanks (for VOAs only) will be taken duringthe groundwater sampling activities.

' * 400159

Further information on collection techniques and nature of thesesample blanks can be found in Section 3.9 of the FOP. A listing ofthese samples blanks can be found in Tables 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3.

3.2 DUPLICATE SAMPLES

The analytical program will include the collection of duplicatesamples at a rate of 5% (1 in 20) for soil and groundwater. Thesesamples will be collected concurrently and submitted for the sameanalysis. Tables 2-1, 2-2 and 2-3 provide a summary of the numbersand locations of the duplicate samples.

3.3 DATA VALIDATION

All analytical data generated for the Pre-design sampling will bevalidated according to relevant sections of the following USEPARegion II Data Validation Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs):

SOP NO. HW-2: Inorganic Data Validation, Rev. 11, January 1992SOP NO. HW-6: Organic Data Validation, Rev. 8, January 1992

Data Validators performing this task will be certified by USEPARegion II for the parameters of interest. All validated data forthe project will be compiled and summarized with an independentverification at each step in the process to preventtranscription/typographical errors. Any computerized entry of datawill utilize double keyed entry.

EPAwill arrange to have the yard area cleared of metal debris (junkedprocessing tanks), stacked pallets, and other debris or vehicleswhich would restrict access within the yard. EPA will also obtainapproval to collect samples and install monitoring wells on the GPCsite, adjoining properties and other offsite properties, as well aspermission for Ebasco to use the Site as a field base.

1.2 SITE SECURITY CONTROL

Throughout the course of the investigation, all Ebasco sampling andhealth and safety related equipment will be stored in a securedvehicle and/or in a storage area within existing buildings on theGPC Site. However, no other access controls such as additionalfence or security guards will be provided. The GPC Site iscurrently used for business operations. There is vehicular trafficand personnel movement on portions of the Site.

Drilling equipment for the investigation will be parked within adesignated portion of the GPC Site property.

1.3 FIELD OFFICE/COMMAND POST

The field operations will be based in a large USEPA work vehicle(if available) unless appropriate space is provided within existingbuildings. Portable lavatories will be located in the parking areaof the GPC Site.

1.4 TRAFFIC CONTROL, PARKING

Vehicles of project personnel will be parked in a designated areaof the existing parking area or on the adjoining side street, ifnecessary, during daily activities. Drilling rigs and otheressential equipment will be the only vehicles allowed to remain onthe site on a 24-hour basis.

SECTION IV: SITE HISTORY AND PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

4.0 LOCATION

The Genzale Plating Company, Inc. site is located at 288 New HydePark Road, Franklin Square, Nassau County, New York (Figure 1) .The site is in a residential neighborhood. The front of thebuilding is on New Hyde Park Road and the rear yard borders KalbAvenue. The study area is shown in Figure 2.

4.1 Description

The site is approximately 0.5 acres in size with a rear yard whichis 150 feet by 90 feet. There are 3 known and one or more possibleleaching ponds in the rear yard.

4.2 History

The Genzale Plating Company, Inc. has been in continuous operationsince 1915. The company employs from 20 to 30 people and continuesto be family run. In 1955 the plant was connected to the localsewer system, into which diluted waste was discharged. A NassauCounty Department of Health (NCDH) inspection in 1981 indicatedthat waste water was still being discharged to leaching pits in thebackyard of the site. Waste water samples collected from theleaching pits in 1981 indicated elevated levels of heavy metals,including hexavalent chromium, iron, copper, nickel, and zinc.Cyanide was found in pit No. 1 but not in pits Nos. 2 and 3. Theleaching pits were disconnected from the facility's dischargesystem, and the lines were plugged in May 1981.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation(NYSDEC) has taken court action to have Genzale Plating Company,Inc. remove all contaminated soils and liquids to an approveddisposal site. Partial removal of the contaminated soils andliquids was accomplished by Genzale Plating Company in March 1982.The Company later claimed financial inability to comply fully withthis mandate. The site was proposed for the National Priority List(NPL) in June 1986 with a Hazardous Ranking System (HRS) score of33 .79.

Ebasco performed drilling operation, groundwater and soil samplingat the Genzale Site in 1991. Several organic compounds wereidentified in the groundwater at very low concentrations.Concentrations of inorganics in the groundwater were well abovebackground levels. (see work plan November 1991). Surface soilsampling showed elevated levels of chromium, copper lead nickel andzinc especially in the leaching pits. TCE was also detected atestimated values exceeding 50 mg/kg below 8 ft.

SECTION V: SITE RELATED INCIDENTS, COMPLAINTS, AND ACTIONS

On February 11, 1971 a water sample taken from well no. 7744 at1150 Hempstead Turnpike revealed the presence of hexavalentchromium. The well was resampled on February 16, 1971 andconfirmed the presence of Cr6. The Genzale Plating Company, Inc.is located approximately 1/2 mile northeast of the 1150 HempsteadTurnpike location. It is possible that Genzale Plating's dischargevia leaching pits was the source of hexavalent chromium found atthe Hempstead Turnpike well.

In a letter dated April 24, 1981, the Nassau County Department ofHealth (NCDH) directed Genzale to perform the following tasks:

o Cease discharge into the cesspools and ground

o Disconnect all discharge lines to cesspools (leaching pits)

o Remove and dispose of the contents from the cesspoolsthrough NYDEC registered waste transporter

o Determine extent of contamination in soil within and aroundthe cesspools to the level of groundwater

o Excavate all contaminated soil and dispose of through aNYDEC registered waste transporter

o Install observation wells to monitor the groundwater

During the site inspection by NCDH on May 28, 1981, Genzale claimedthat the company had ceased all discharges into the cesspools andre-routed the drain pipes to the sewer system. The inspection didnot reveal any discharges to the cesspools.

Genzale engaged Gamma Technical Engineering Company (Gamma TEC) in1983 to prepare a plan for investigation of contamination at thesite. A Work Plan was submitted by Gamma TEC to the New York StateDepartment of Conservation (NYDEC) on February 25, 1983. In themeantime, Genzale performed partial clean-up of the cesspools. Twocesspools were cleaned the third was partially cleaned, and about36 cubic yards of the contaminated material was disposed of asrequired. However, the work was stopped due to financialconstraints.

NYDEC engaged the services of Woodward-Clyde Consultants Inc.around April 1983 to perform preliminary investigations and assessa draft Hazard Ranking System (HRS) score for the Genzale site.Woodward-Clyde submitted a report to NYDEC on June 3, 1983 with anassessed score of 28.9 based mostly on groundwater contaminationpotential.

The site was proposed for inclusion on the NPL (National PriorityListing) in June 1986 with an HRS score of 33.79. The site wasofficially listed in the Federal cleanup program by U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) on July 21, 1986.

SECTION VII: HAZARD ASSESSMENT

7.0 SUMMARY ASSESSMENT OF HAZARDS

The following is a summary assessment of chemical physical agentsrelated to the planned activities for this site.

7.1 Chemical Hazard Evaluation at Site

The chemical hazards present on-site include:

o Heavy metals in areas where soil/water samples will becollected;

o Potentially high concentrations of heavy metals in thesource areas (leaching pits and feeder pipes) and cyanidein leaching pit No. 1.

The contaminants of concern are listed in Section 5.2 and inAppendix A. Individual operations and locations will be carefullyevaluated by the HSO during site activities to assure levels ofprotection are adequate.

7.1.1 Acute Toxicities

Inhalation of contaminated dust on the Genzale site could beacutely toxic if the levels were excessive (Section 7.5) . ChromiumMetal causes irritation of the respiratory tract and eyes. Nickelmetal would cause lung irritation, coughing and shortness of breathand cause eye irritation. Copper metal causes eye irritation andinhalation causes symptoms such as chills, respiratory irritation,stomach pain and muscle aches. Zinc inhalation would cause flu-like symptoms and coughing almost immediately after inhalation(metal fume fever) and blurred vision. Hydrogen Cyanide is verytoxic via inhalation and at high levels could be fatal. Symptomsare weakness, headhache, nausea and changes in respiratory rate.

7.1.2 Chronic Toxicities

Chromium VI is a human carcinogen targeting the respiratory system.Nickel targets nasal cavities, lungs, increasing the risk ofcancer. Copper dust targets the respiratory system liver andkidneys causing weakness and lassitude. Zinc dust targets theorgans of the respiratory tract causing back pain, blurred' visionand leukocytosis. Hydrogen cyanide targets the respiratory system,CNS and eyes.

7.2 Likelihood of Exposure

The primary route of potential exposure at the Genzale site isinhalation of contaminated dust. Ingestion is a less significantroute of potential exposure that can be prevented by strictadherence to safety protocol and hygiene protection practices.Repeated skin contact to hexavalent chromium, chromium and nickelin high concentrations could cause skin irritation. However, the

«« • «L -* --Vt ',,. \\Etn'67'.-LVN •• -

406197

low levels found in the soil and groundwater are not expected topresent a skin contact problem. The higher concentrations found inthe leaching pits would pose a higher risk but one that can becontrolled with the use of protective equipment, contaminationavoidance, decon procedures and good personal hygiene, such aswashing hands, forearms and face at breaks, lunch and end of thework day .

Solvents are not expected to present a hazard. Analyses ofgroundwater did detect low levels of chlorinated solvents. Thelevels of trichloroethene (TCE) , 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane (TCA) , 1,1-dichloroethene (DCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) were all in ppbconcentrations and should not present an inhalation hazard.Monitoring with a direct reading instrument will detect anyvolatiles that are encountered.

Concentrated acids have not been identified as being present in theleaching pits. However, acids are known to be used in platingoperations. Also, in 1981 the pH of leaching pits Nos . 2 and 3were measured at 3.6 and 2.3, respectively. Acids would not,however, present a hazard to workers through inhalation or skincontact for the following reasons. Even if acids were present theywould not cause an inhalation hazard due to their low volatility.Also, site activities are not expected to cause or create anairborne mist of the liquid in the leaching pits. Skin contactwould be prevented by protective clothing, decon procedures andhygiene practices.

In 1981, cyanide was found in leaching pit No. 1 at 400 micrograms/liter, but not in pits Nos. 2 and 3. Cyanides, even if present,would only present a hazard through an acute exposure to highconcentrations. Since cyanide salts are not volatile, the hazardwould have to come from the generation of hydrogen cyanide throughdirect contact of acid with the cyanide salt. If this were tooccur, the hydrogen cyanide would be generated as a visible whitecloud. The unlikelihood of such an occurrence during siteactivities argues against wearing respiratory protection forhydrogen cyanide. Making workers aware during the site briefings,of the nature of hydrogen cyanide, the remote possibility ofoccurrence, and the conditions under which it could occur and thevigilance of the HSO for conditions conducive to a possibleoccurrence is a practical approach to minimizing the remote risk ofinjury due to hygrogen cyanide exposure. Also sampling forhydrogen cyanide will be done with detector tubes when workcommences at pit No. 1.

Sampling of off-site wells presents a particularly low hazardpotential . Heavy metal contamination of groundwater has beenanalyzed numerous times over the years. Concentations have been afraction of a milligram per liter, mostly hundredths andthousandths of a milligram per liter. With such low levels,inhalation is not a hazard. Skin contact can be protected againstby the use of gloves and chemical protective boots or nuke booties.Ordinary work coveralls can be worn. While cotton coverallsprovide minimal protection against splashes, splashes of

E0367.LYN ^40019S

groundwater with low concentrations of heavy metals will present aminor hazard, which can be controlled with a procedure thatrequires the person splashed to immediately proceed to the supportarea, remove the contaminated clothing and wash the affected bodyareas. The contaminated clothing would not be reworn untillaundered.

7.3 Inhalation Exposure Calculations

The risk associated with exposure to airborne contaminantsgenerated through site activities can be estimated fromconcentrations of contaminants found in the soil onsite andassuming the most stringent scenario. As described below, a personwould have to be exposed to an extremely high concentration oftotal airborne dust to receive an exposure to heavy metal at thepermissible limit for occupational exposure. For example, of themetals found, the one with the lowest threshold limit value ishexavalent chromium. The action level of one-half the TLV is 25micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3.

Assuming airborne dust was generated from the soil and theproportions of nickel and hexavalent chromium in the airborne dustwere the same as in the soil, the concentrations of total airbornedust required to reach airborne concentrations of nickel andhexavalent chromium equal to the action levels of the TLVs could becalculated from the following equation:

action level___ = Total airborne dustsoil concentration

For nickel 58,000 ppm in soil: 50 ug/m3 = 0.86 mg/m3.058

For hexavalent chromium: 25 ug/m3 = 0.675 mg/m3 at 37,300 ppm insoil .0037

Based upon the soil concentration of nickel & hexavalent chromium,dust monitoring will be necessary to assure that personnel are notexposed to these metals above permissible exposure limits.

7.4 SKIN ADSORPTION

Hydrogen cyanide can be absorbed to the skin with lethal effects.Chromium, nickel, copper and zinc can all cause irrigation andrashes. Acids present onsite could present a dermal hazard causingburns defatting of the skin and dermatitis. PPE (i.e. glovescoveralls) will be worn to prevent dermal contact. Good personalhygiene will also be practiced.

4001S9

7.5 PHYSICAL HAZARDS

Physical hazards always exist when working around a drill rig.Safe drilling practices such as no loose clothing or jewelry;checking on frayed cathead ropes, hoists or wires; keeping rodheight below 15-20 feet; good housekeeping of augers and tools etc.are to be implemented. In addition, uneven surfaces, slip triphazards, underground lines and aboveground lines all will have tobe addressed depending on locations and access. No biologicalhazards or radiation have been identified onsite during pastoperations. Noise is not suspected to exceed OSHA levels but theHSO will evaluate the need for monitoring and/or protectiveequipment.

Cold stress will have to be addressed in all site specific trainingsessions and daily work practices refer to Appendix C of AttachmentA.

Briefings will alsoserve to clarify new operations or implementation of changes inwork practices due to additional site information or changingenvironmental conditions. The number of briefings will beincreased if the HSO determines clarification of procedures isneeded and/or if a deficiency in safety protocol is found. These

400201

can be identified by observing field activities or as a result ofa safety audit.

8.6 First Aid and CPR

The HSO will identify the need for site personnel who are certifiedin First Aid and CPR. High hazard sites may require severalmembers of the field team be First Aid and CPR certified prior tomobilization in order to ensure that initial emergency treatment isavailable at all times during field operations. These coursesshall be consistent with the requirements of the American Red CrossAssociation.

8.7 Medical Surveillance

All ARCS II personnel and subcontractors who will be performingfield work will be required to have passed an ARCS II medicalsurveillance examination or equivalent. A release for work will beconfirmed by the HSO before an employee can begin hazardousactivities. The exam will be taken annually and upon terminationof ARCS II work. Additional medical testing may be required by theCHSS in consultation with the company physician and the HSO if anovert exposure or accident occurs, or if other site conditionswarrant further medical surveillance. The specific tests that willbe employed for a specific site are to be addressed here.

SECTION IX: ZONES, PERSONAL PROTECTION AND COMMUNICATION

9.0 Site Zones

Ebasco generally employs a three-zone approach to site operationsin order to contain the potential spread of contamination. Thethree zones include: the Exclusion Zone (EZ), the ContaminationReduction Zone (CRZ) and the Support Zone (SZ).

9.1 Exclusion Zone

The areas in which all invasive activities, (i.e.,sampling/drilling/excavating} occur is defined as the ExclusionZone. The Health and Safety Officer may establish more than one ofthese restricted areas within an Exclusion Zone and differentlevels of protection may be used where different hazards exist. Nopersonnel will be allowed into the Exclusion Zone without: a buddy,the proper personal protective equipment, medical authorization andappropriate Hazardous Waste Site Training.

9.2 Contamination Reduction Zone

A Contamination Reduction Zone (CRZ) will be established betweenthe Exclusion Zone and the Support Zone. The CRZ will contain theContamination Reduction Corridor (CRC) and will provide for fullpersonnel and portable equipment decontamination. TheContamination Reduction Zone is to be used for site entry andegress. The CRZ can also contain appropriate safety and emergencyequipment such as an emergency eyewash, fire extinguisher,stretcher and first aid kit.

9.3 Support Zone

The Support Zone will be considered as an uncontaminated area andwill be separated from the CRZ by a "Contamination Control Line."It will contain the Command Post which shall provide for teamcommunications and emergency response. Appropriate sanitaryfacilities, safety and support equipment will be located in thiszone. Site operations and the accessing of authorized persons tothe site will be controlled from this location.

400203

The Command Post shall be located upwind of site operations and canbe used as a potential evacuation point in an emergency situation.Contaminated persons samples and equipment shall not be allowedinto the Support Zone unless properly decontaminated.Meteorological conditions should be observed and noted from theSupport Zone, as well as those factors pertinent to heat and coldstress.

9.4 Personal Protection

9.4.1 General

The level of personal protection to be worn by field personnelshall be defined and controlled on-site by the Health and SafetyOfficer with approval of the Company Health and Safety Supervisor.Levels of protection for site operations are located in the ARCS IIPersonal Protection Guidelines HS-2. If more than one hazardousarea exists, further clarification of site conditions will beprovided through review of potential site hazards, site conditions,proposed operational requirements and continuous monitoring of allsite activities.

The health and safety evaluation of site conditions anddetermination of personnel protective equipment shall be completedby the HSO prior to startup of site operations. Decision toupgrade or downgrade the level of protection shall be made by theField HSO. This determination will include, but not be limited to,the following parameters: meteorologic conditions, physical formand potential route of entry and TLV/TWA and/or sustainedinstrument readings.

9.4.2 Initial Levels of Protection

Initially, Level D protection will be used for drilling operations.Cotton coveralls can be utilized provided they are promptly removedif splashed with a significant amount of contaminated liquid.Gloves must be worn. Either nuke booties or rubber boots must beworn to avoid contamination of personal work shoes. For drillingin the leaching pits, coated tyvek must be worn due to the presenceof higher levels of contamination. Gloves and nuke booties orrubber boots are mandatory around the leaching pits. Hard hats andsafety shoes or boots are required to be worn when working withina 30 foot radius of a drill rig.

The decision to upgrade the level of protection will be made by theHSO based upon monitoring results, observation of dust levels anddetection of odors, and professional judgement.

Level D protective clothing and Level C respiratory protection willbe used for decon of heavy equipment. Sampling and surveyoperations will start in Level D. The levels of protection may beupgraded by the HSO if monitoring equipment indicates the presenceof significant levels of contamination. For decon using highpressure steam, impervious (coated) tyvek, chemical rubber boots,and gloves must be worn, and the respirator, gloves and boots mustbe taped to the tyvek.

9.4.3 Respiratory Protection

1) Level B - Air-supplied respirators or self con-tained breathing apparatus (SCBA).

2) Level C - Full face air purifying respiratorwith filter and cartridge as specified by HSO.

3) Level D - Respirator is not required. Certainoperations may require a face shield, or thata respirator be carried by personnel.

9.4.4 Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE)

1) Levels B/C Protective Clothing:

o Chemical Protective Suit with hoods and bootiesattached (e.g.,polycoated/saran coated TYVEK);o Coveralls;o Gloves, inner (surgical type);o Gloves, outer (chemical protective);o Boots (chemical protective, steel

toe/shank);o Nuke Booties (to be worn over

boots, not as substitute); ando Hard hat.

40020^

2) Level D Protective Clothing:

o Coveralls (launderable or disposable);o Gloves (chemical resistant);o Boots/shoes (chemical protective, steel toe/shank);o Safety glasses;o Nuke Booties; ando Hard hat.

The above PPE is typical for the various levels of protection butmay be modified or expanded by the HSO. When known at the time theHSP is prepared, only the required PPE should be listed in thisSection.

9.5 Communications

o Because the relatively small size of this site. Visualand/or verbal communication will be maintained betweenworkers in the exclusion zone and someone with readyaccess to a telephone for emergency purposes.

o Telephones - A telephone will be located in the CommandPost trailer in the Support Zone for communication withemergency support services/facilities. If a telephone isunavailable, the nearest public phones should beidentified.

o Air Horns -An air horn will be carried by a member of thedownrange field team and another will be evident in theSupport Zone to alert field personnel to an emergencysituation.

o Hand Signals -This communication method will be employedby members of the field team along with use of the buddysystem. Signals become especially important when in thevicinity of heavy moving equipment and when using Level Brespiratory equipment. The signals shall become familiarto the entire field team before site operations commenceand they will be reinforced and reviewed duringsite-specific training.

10.3 Monitoring During Field Activities

10.3.1 Sampling Operations - Monitoring will be performedcontinuously by the HSO during the conduct of work. The frequencyof monitoring may be modified by the HSO. The rationale must bedocumented in the H&S log.

A photoionization detector (PID) and/or flame ionization detector(FID) equipped organic vapor meter and/or dust monitor (HAM/RAM)will be utilized to monitor the breathing zone, the borehole andall geological samples upon their retrieval. Drill cuttings willalso be monitored. A combustible gas indicator (CGI) with oxygenalarm may be used to monitor the borehole for the presence ofcombustible gases. Similar monitoring of any fluids producedduring well development will also be conducted.

10.3.2 Drilling Operations - Monitoring will be performedcontinuously by the HSO during the conduct of work. The frequencyof monitoring may be modified by the HSO. The rationale must bedocumented in the H&S log.

10.4 PERSONNEL MONITORING PROCEDURES

In Section VI, Hazard Assessment, it was shown that an inhalationhazard was unlikely to occur. It was further shown that visibledust (or mist) levels would occur well before levels reached thehazard level, which would serve to alert the HSO to the need forpossible corrective action. One possible action would be toinitiate personnel monitoring. The samples would be taken at thebreathing zone.

Personnel monitoring, if needed, would focus on those key chemicalcontaminants common to an industrial plating operation. Thesecould include heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Zn) , cyanides, andselect organic solvents (TCE, TCA). Organic solvents and cyanidescould be characterized using direct reading instruments (HNU, OVA,and colorimetric detector tubes). Personal air sampling pumps withMCEF filters would be used to sample the metal contaminants foratomic absorption (AA) analysis.

10.5 COMMUNITY AIR MONITORING PLAN

The operational direction to the site HSO for the Community AirMonitoring Plan has been addressed in Section 10.2 ACTION LEVELS inthe section dealing with perimeter monitoring. A general plandescription is provided below.

Real-time air monitoring for volatile compounds and particulatelevels at the perimeter of the exclusion zone is necessary.

The plan includes the following:

• Volatile organic compounds must be monitored at the downwindperimeter of the exclusion zone daily at 2 hour intervals. Iftotal organic vapor levels exceed 5 ppm above background,drilling/excavation activities must be halted and monitoringcontinued under the provisions of a Vapor Emission ResponsePlan. All readings must be recorded and be available for State(DEC & DOH) personnel for review.

• Particulates should be continuously monitored downwind of theexclusion zone with a portable particulate monitor that wouldhave an alarm set at 150 ug/m3. If downwind particulatelevels, integrated over a period of 15 minutes, exceed 150ug/m3, than particulate levels upwind of the survey or worksite would be measured. If the downwind particulate level ismore than 100 ug/m3 greater than the upwind particulate level,then drilling/excavation activities must be stopped andcorrective action taken. All readings must be recorded and beavailable for State (DEC & DOH) personnel to review.

Vapor Emission Response Plan

If the ambient air concentration of organic vapors exceeds 5 ppmabove background at the perimeter of the Exclusion Zone,drilling/excavation activities will be halted and monitoringcontinued. If the organic vapor level decreases below 5 ppm overbackground, drilling/excavation activities can resume but morefrequent intervals of monitoring, as directed by the SafetyOfficer, must be conducted. If the organic vapor levels aregreater than 5 ppm over background but less than 25 ppm abovebackground at the perimeter of the Exclusion Zone,drilling/excavation activities can resume provided:

the organic vapor level 200 ft. downwind of the Exclusion Zoneor half the distance to the nearest residential or commercialstructure, whichever is less, is below 5 ppm over background,and

• more frequent intervals of monitoring, as directed by theSafety Officer, are conducted.

If the organic vapor level is above 25 ppm at the perimeter of theExclusion Zone work activities must be shutdown. When workshutdown occurs, downwind air monitoring as directed by the Safety

E0367.LYN

4602 J'ff

Officer will be implemented to ensure that vapor emission does notimpact the nearest residential or commercial structure at levelsexceeding those specified in the Major Vapor Emission section.

Major Vapor Emission

If any organic levels greater than 5 ppm over background areidentified 200 feet downwind from the Survey Site or half thedistance to the nearest residential or commercial property,whichever is less, all work activities must be halted.

If, following the cessation of the work activities, or as theresult of an emergency, organic levels persist above 5 ppm abovebackground 200 feet downwind or half the distance to the nearestresidential or commercial property from the Exclusion Zone, thenthe air quality must be monitored within 20 feet of the perimeterof the nearest residential or commercial structure (20 Foot Zone).

If efforts to abate the emission source are unsuccessful and if anyof the following levels persist for more than 30 minutes in the 20foot zone, then the Major Vapor Emission Response Plan shallautomatically be placed into effect:

• Organic vapor levels approaching 5 ppm above background.

However, the Major Vapor Emission Response Plan shall beimmediately placed into effect if any of the following levelsare identified in the 20 foot zone.

• Organic vapor levels greater than 10 ppm above background.

Major Vapor Emission Response Plan

Upon activation, the following activities will be undertaken:

1. The local police authorities will immediately be contacted bythe Safety Officer and advised of the situation.

2. Frequent air monitoring will be conducted at 30 minuteintervals within the 20 Foot Zone. If two successive readingsbelow action levels are measured, air monitoring may be haltedor modified by the Safety Officer.

3. All Emergency contacts will go into effect as appropriate.

SECTION XI: SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS

11.0 General

Each site task will be performed using the assigned level ofprotection for that task described in Section IX. In this section,safety-related procedures are described for each site task. Suchprocedures may include additional protective clothing, respiratorspecification, safety equipment, such as safety harnesses andnon-sparking tools, and the requirements for backup teams forspecialized operations.

11.1 Drilling Operations

The HSO or designee will be present during all drilling operationsand will provide H&S monitoring to ensure that appropriate levelsof protection and safety procedures are utilized. The proximity ofwater, sewer and electrical lines will be identified before anysubsurface activity is attempted.

The possibility for the presence of underground conduits or vesselscontaining materials under pressure will also be investigatedbefore attempting any intrusive operation. Proper containmentpractices will be utilized in regard to the potential amount ofliquid or waste released during operations. The location of safetyequipment and evacuation procedures will be established prior toinitiation of operations and identified to all site personnel. Theuse of salamanders is prohibited. The use of all protectiveclothing, especially hard hats and safety boots, will be requiredduring drilling or other heavy equipment operations. The exclusionzone where this protective equipment is required for ARCs IIpersonnel includes a 30 foot radius around the drill rig. Allcontaminated equipment, e.g., augers, split spoons, drill pipe,etc., will be placed on liner material when not in use, or whenawaiting and during steam cleaning. Communications with thecommand center will be readily accessible at all times.

11 .2 Soil, Surface Water, and Liquid Waste Sampling

Personnel must wear prescribed clothing, especially impervious shoecovering or boots and chemical resistant gloves when sampling soilsand liquids. Sample bottles should be bagged prior to sampling toease decontamination procedures. Be aware of emergency evacuationprocedures and the location of all emergency equipment prior tosampling. Practice contamination avoidance at all times.

Sampling from the leaching pits presents special hazards ofslipping or falling into the pits. The pits are about 15 feet deepand 8 feet in diameter. For each pit, a zone that extends 3 feetfrom the edge of the pit will be established and visibly marked.ARCs II personnel who enter this zone shall be equipped with aharness and life line and be observed by at least one personoutside this exclusion zone. When personnel are in this exclusionzone all ARCs II personnel on-site must be informed and ready to

E0367 . LYN

respond to an emergency rescue. Such emergency response will bereviewed in the site specific training. Where life lines maycreate a hazard due to personnel movement or operating equipmentthe use of the life line can be replaced with an equally effectiverescue measure aproved by the HSO. Personnel are prohibited fromentering a pit except when authorized for an emergency rescue.

11.3 Handling of Samples

Personnel responsible for the handling of samples should wear theprescribed level of protection. Samples should be identified as totheir hazard and packaged as to prevent spillage or breakage. Anyunusual sample conditions should be noted. It may be necessary forthe H&S staff to review label safety procedures in handling sitesamples to assist or assure that these practices are appropriatefor the type of suspected contaminants in the sample.

11.4 Hand and Power-Operated Tools

o Powered tools will be properly guarded.

o Electrical tools will either be double insulated or casegrounded.

o All electrical equipment will have approved conductors.

E0367.LYN 400216

SECTION XIII: DECONTAMINATION PROCEDURES

13.0 General

All personnel and equipment exiting the Exclusion Zone shall bethoroughly decontaminated. The procedure for personnel decon issite and task dependent. In general it will consist of:

o Gross boot and glove wash and rinseo Suit wash and rinseo Boot removalo Outer glove removalo Suit removalo Respirator removal and washo Inner glove wash and rinseo Inner glove removalo Personnel washo Redress

Figures 13-1, 13-2, 13-3 are included to illustrate thedecontamination procedures for personnel and portable equipmentused for protection levels indicated in Section IX.

13.1 Contaminated Samples and Sampling Equipment

All sampling equipment (augers, split spoons and drill pipe) willbe placed on liner material while awaiting and during steamcleaning.

Containers with sample materials will be segregated anddecontaminated by members of the field team as soon as possiblefollowing the sampling procedure and prior to packing and shipment.

13.2 Contaminated Heavy Equipment

Heavy equipment used for operations in the Exclusion Zone will haveprescribed decontamination procedures to prevent hazardousmaterials from leaving the site. Decontamination of heavyequipment will be performed in a separate location established bythe HSO, as a restricted area within the Contamination ReductionZone. Heavy equipment decontamination will include a means ofcollecting decon waste, such as excavation of a shallow pit foraccumulation of decon water and transport of mud from the deconarea. The pit will be cleaned, wastes disposed of, filled in andcovered with clean soil when its use is terminated. The surfacearea of the pit shall be sufficient to accommodate the washwatergenerated by the largest piece of machinery. Equipment needed mayinclude: a steam generator with high pressure water, emptycontainers, screens, screen support structures and shovels.Solutes for the specific contaminants on-site may, also, benecessary for proper decontamination. Wind screening may beprovided, if necessary, to prevent the spread of air contaminants.Runoff of washwater from the asphalt lined steam cleaning pad willbe directed to the lined decontamination ditch. This liquid isthen pumped to drums or storage tanks for future treatment and/or

E 0 3 6 7 . L Y N '

C'r'r'^ 400217

removal for final disposal. All wastewaters from personneldecontamination may also be added to this ditch for subsequentpumping and storage.

Refer to section 11.8 for safety procedures.

13.3 Decontamination Equipment

Equipment for personnel decontamination may include drums, woodenpallets, large and small-sized galvanized and/or plastic tubs,long-handled brushes, cleaning solutions (Alconox and soap andwater), impervious lining material, a table and hand pump sprayers.

Before use, portable monitoring equipment will be bagged orcontained in such a way as to allow for simple decontamination.Cover instruments with clear plastic, leaving openings for samplingports and sensor points.

13.4 Contamination Prevention

One of the most important aspects of decontamination is theprevention of contamination. Good contamination prevention willminimize employee exposure and help ensure valid sample results byeliminating cross-contamination. Procedures for contaminationavoidance include:

13.4.1 Personnel

o Do not walk through areas of obvious or knowncontamination.

o Do not handle or touch contaminated materials directly,

o Make sure all PPE has no cuts or tears prior to donning.

o Fasten all closures on suits, covering with tape ifnecessary.

o Take particular care to protect any skin injuries,

o Stay upwind of airborne contaminants.

o Do not carry cigarettes, gum, food or beverages into theexclusion zone or contamination reduction zone.

13.4.2 Heavy Equipment

o Limit the surface area of contact i.e., on backhoes,limit contact to the arm and bucket.

o If contaminated tools are to be placed onnon-contaminated equipment for transport to the deconpad, plastic should be used on top of the uncontaminatedequipment to keep it clean.

400218

o Dust control measures may be needed on roads that crossthe exclusion zone.

o Spoils from excavation work should be placed so as not tobe in the expected paths of individuals.

o Drill cuttings should be kept shoveled up and drummed andout of the way of personnel. Liquid generated duringdrilling should be contained out of the way to limit theamount of mud created around the rig.

13.5 Additional Decontamination Procedures

o Sampling equipment will be brushed clean and rinsed withdistilled water or other appropriate cleaning material.

o Sample containers will be rinsed cleaned withdecontamination solution and dry-wiped prior topackaging.

o Heavy equipment will be high pressure washed in theContamination Reduction Zone.

o Monitoring equipment will be wiped down.

o Vehicles used downrange which are contaminated withnative soil will be cleaned prior to exiting the site.The wheel wells, tire, sides of vehicles, will be highpressure washed in the Contamination Reduction Zone.

o Spent decontamination solutions may be required to bedrummed and disposed of as hazardous waste. Solventsolutions shall be segregated from water rinses.

o Decontamination shall be performed in a manner so as tominimize the amount of waste generated.

HF&T STRESS

0 4 4 2 K!'400240

ADOPTEDTHRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES

(1987-88)

Work - Rest Regime

These Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) refer to heat stressconditions under which it is believed that nearly all workersmay be repeatedly exposed without advrse health effects. TheTLVs shown in Table 1 are based on the assumption that nearlyall acclimatized, fully clothed workers with adequate water andsalt intake should be able to function effectively under thegiven working conditions without exceeding a deep bodytemperature of 38°C.

1. Work Load Categories

Heat produced by the body and the environmental heattogether determine the total heat load. Therefore, if workis to be performed under hot environmental conditions, theworkload category of each job shall be established and theheat exposure limit pertinent to the workload evaluatedagainst the applicable standard in order to protect theworker exposure beyond the permissible limit.

The work load category may be established by ranking eachjob into light, medium, and heavy categories onthe basis oftype of operation. Where the work load is ranked into oneof said three categories, i.e.,

(1) light work (up to 200 kcal/hr or 800 Btu/hr): e.g.,sitting or standing to control machines, performinglight hand or arm work,

(2) moderate work (200-350 kcal/hr or 800-1400 Btu/hr):e.g., walking about with moderate lifting andpushing, or

(3) heavy work (350-500 kcal/hr or 1400-2000 Btu/hr):e.g., pick and shovel work,

The permissible heat exposure limit for that workload shallbe determined from Table 1.

2. Work-Rest Regimen

The permissible exposure limits specified in Table 1 andFigure 1 are based on the assumption that the WBGT value ofthe resting place is the same or very close to that of theworkplace.

0442K

400241

2. Body temperature should be measured orally with aclinical thermometer as early as possible in the restingperiod. Oral temperature (OT) at the beginning of therest period should not exceed 99°F. If it does, thenext work period should be shortened by 10 min. (or 33percent), while the length of the rest period stays thesame. However, if the OT exceeds 99.7°F at thebeginning of the next period, the following work cycleshould be further shortened by 33 percent. OT should bemeasured again at the end of the rest period to makesure that it has dropped below 99°F.

Acclimate workers to site work conditions by slowlyincreasing workloads, i.e., do not begin site workactivities with extremely demanding activities.

3. Provide cooling devices to aid natural body ventila-tion. These devices, however, add weight, and their useshould be balanced against worker efficiency. Longcotton underwear acts as a wick to help absorb moistureand protect the skin from direct contact with heat-absorbing protective clothing. It should be the minimumunder-garment worn.

Install mobile showers and/or hose-down facilities toreduce body temperature and cool protective clothing.

In extremely hot weather, conduct nonemergency responseoperations in the early morning or*1 evening.

Ensure that adequate shelter is available to protectpersonnel against heat, cold, rain, snow, etc., whichcan decrease physical efficiency and increase theprobability of accidents.

In hot weather, rotate shifts of workers wearingimpervious clothing.

4. Good hygienic standards must be maintained by frequentchange of clothing and daily showering. Clothing shouldbe permitted to dry during rest periods. Persons whonotice skin problems should immediately consult medicalpersonnel.

HEAT STRESS CONDITIONS

1. Heat Cramps

Heat cramps are caused by perspiration that is not balancedby adequate fluid intake. Heat cramps are often the firstsign of a condition that can lead to heat stroke.

0442K400242

o Symptoms -- Acute painful spasms of voluntary muscles,e.g., abdomen .and extremities.

o Treatment — Remove victim to a cool area and loosenclothing. Have patient drink 1 to 2 cups waterimmediately, and every 20 minutes thereafter untilsymptoms subside. Total water consumption should be 1to 2 gallons per day. Consult with physician.

2. Heat Rash

Heat rash is caused by continuous exposure to heat and humidair and aggravated by chafing clothes. The conditiondecreases ability to tolerate heat.

o Symptoms — Mild red rash, especially in areas of thebody in contact with protective gear.

o Treatment — Decrease amount of time in protective gearand provide powder to help absorb moisture and decreasechafing.

3. Heat Stroke

Heat stroke is an acute and dangerous reaction to heatstress caused by a failure of heat regulating mechanisms ofthe body — the individual's temperature control system thatcauses sweating stops working correctly. Body temperaturerises so high that brain damage and death will result if theperson is not cooled quickly.

o Symptoms — Red, hot, dry skin, although person may havebeen sweating earlier; nausea; dizziness; confusion;extremely high body temperature; rapid respiratory andpulse rate; unconsciousness or coma.

o Treatment — Cool the victim quickly. If the bodytemperature is not brought down fast, permanent braindamage or death will result. Soak the victim in cool,but not cold, water; sponge the body with cool water orpour water on the body to reduce the temperature to asafe level (102°F). Observe the victim and obtainmedical help. Do not give coffee, tea, or alcoholicbeverages.

4. Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion is a state of very definite weakness orexhaustion caused by the loss of fluids from the body. Thecondition is much less dangerous than heat stoke, but itnonetheless must be treated.

0442K

400243

o Symptoms — Pale, clammy, moist skin; profuse per-spiration aid extreme weakness. Body temperature isnormal, pulse is weak and rapid, breathing is shallow.The person may have a headache, may vomit, and may bedizzy.

o Treatment — Remove the person to a cool, air con-ditioned place, loosen clothing, place in a head-lowposition and provide bed rest. Consult physician,especially in severe cases. The normal thirst mechanismis not sensitive enough to ensure body fluidreplacement. Have patient drink 1 to 2 cups waterimmediately, and every 20 minutes thereafter untilsymptoms subside. Total water consumption should beabout 1 to 2 gallons per day.

COLD STRESS

0442K

400246

These Threshold Limit Values. (TLVs) are intended to protectworkers from the severest effects of cold stress (hypothermia)and cold injury and to describe exposures to cold workingconditions under which it is believed that nearly all workerscan be repeatedly exposed without adverse health effects. TheTLV objective is to prevent the deep body core temperature fromfalling below 36°C and to prevent cold injury to bodyextremities. Deep body temperature is the core temperature ofthe body as determined by rectal temperature measurements. Fora single, occasional exposure to a cold environment a drop incore temperature to no lower than 35°C should be permitted. Inaddition to provisions for total body protection, the TLVobjective is to protect all parts of the body with emphasis onhands, feet and head from cold injury. The single mostimportant aspect of life-threatening hypothermia is the fall inthe deep core temperature of the body.

Systemic hypothermia is caused by exposure to freezing orrapidly dropping temperature. Its symptoms are usuallyexhibited in five stages: (1) shivering, (2) apathy,listlessness, sleepiness, and rapid cooling of the body to lessthan 95°F, (3) unconsciousness, glassy stare, slow pulse, andslow respiratory rate, (4) freezing of the extremities, and,finally, (5) death.

Workman should be protected from exposure to cold so that thedeep core temperature does not fall below 36°C (96.8°F); lowerbody temperatures will vary like result in reduced mentalalertness, reduction in rational decision making, or loss ofconsciousness with the threat of fatal consequences.

Pain in the extremities may be the first early warning of dangerto cold stress. During exposure to cold, maximum severeshivering develops when the body temperature has fallen to 35°C(95°F). This must be taken as a sign of danger to the workersand exposure to cold should be immediately terminated for anyworkers when severe shivering becomes evident. Useful physicalor mental work is limited when severe shivering occurs.

Since prolonged exposure to cold air, or to immersion in coldwater, at temperatures well above freezing can lead to dangeroushypothermia, whole body protection must be provided.

1. Adequate insulating clothing to maintain coretemperatures above 36*C must be provided to workers ifwork is performed in air temperature below 4°C (40°F).Wind chill factor or the cooling power of the air is a

0 4 4 2 K

400247

critical factor. The higher the wind speed and thelower the temperature in the work area, the greater theinsulation value of the protective clothing required.An equivalent chill temperature chart relating theactual dry bulb air temperature and the wind velocityis presented in Wind Chill Chart. The equivalent cilltemperature should be used when estimating the combinedcooling effect of wind and low air temperatures onexposed skin or when determining clothing insulationrequirements to maintain the deep body core temperature.

Unless there are unusual or extenuating circumstancescold injury to other than hands, feet, and head is notlikely to occur without the development of the initialsigns of hypothermia. Older workers or workers withcirculatory problems require special precautionaryprotection agains cold injury. The use of extrainsulating clothing and/or a reduction in the durationof the exposure period are among the specialprecautions which should be considered. Theprecautionary actions to be taken will depend upon thephysical condition of the worker and should bedetermined with the advice of a physician withknowledge of the cold stress factors and the medicalcondition of the worker.

Employees shall be excluded from work in cold at -1°C(30°F) or below if they are suffering from diseases ortaking medication which interferes with normal bodytemperature regulation or reduces tolerance to work incold environments. Workers who are routinely exposedto temperatures below -24°C (-10°F) with wind speedsless than five miles per hour, or air temperaturesbelow -18°C (0°F) with wind speeds above five miles perhour should be medically certified as suitable for suchexposures.

Trauma sustained in freezing or subzero conditionsrequires special attention because an injured worker ispredisposed to secondary cold injury. Specialprovisions must be made to prevent hypothermia andsecondary freezing of damaged tissues in addition toproviding for first aid treatment.

In cold environments, wind-chill temperature is abetter description of thermal conditions than theambient temperature alone. The wind adds to the rateof cooling and it is the combination of wind speed andair temperature that is most important. In thewind-chill chart, arbitrary risks of frost bite aregiven for short exposure periods. For example, at awind-chill temperature of -25 (from a 5°F temperature

0442K

v: 400248

and 15 MPH wind) exposed flesh may freeze within oneminute. However, fingers, toes, nose tips, ears orcheeks may become frost bitten at ambient temperaturesas high as 32°F with high winds. This is approximatelythe freezing point of skin in the absence of sub-cooling .

Hypothermia (general lowering of body temperature) canoccur from exposure to conditions well above freezing.The lethal deep body temperature is placed at about 78F. This condition can occur where a worker is immersedin cold water "divers), is exposed to cool, high winds,is in a state of physical exhaustion, or hasinsufficient food. Alcohol should not be consumed incold environments because the resultant dilation ofblood vessels can permit a rapid loss of body heatincreasing the risk of hypothermia. For warmingpurposes, liquid intake should be hot, non-alcoholicbeverages or soup.

Frost Bite

Superficial frostbite. Skin has a waxy or whiteappearance and is firm to the touch, but tissue beneathis resilient.

are cold, pale, and solid;

Frost bite may be either superficial involving only the skin ordeep, extending below the skin. Frost bite may be consideredto be superficial if exposure time was short. Otherwise assumethe injury to be deep and, therefore, serious, in which case itshould be treated at a hospital rather than in the field.Superficial frost bite can be treated by

5. where deep frost bite exists, it is essential to getthe patient to the hospital as quickly as possible.Frozen parts should be protected from additional coldinjury but no attempts should be made to thaw them inthe field. The patient should also be kept warm.

For work practices at or below -12°C (10°F) ECT the followingshall apply:

1. The worker shall be under constant protectiveobservation (buddy system or supervision).

2. The work rate should not be so high as to cause heavysweating that will result in wet clothing; if heavywork must be done, rest periods must be taken in heatedshelters and opportunity for changing into dry clothingshall be provided.

3. New employees shall not be required to work full-timein cold in the first days until they become accustomedto the working conditions and required protectiveclothing.

4. The weight and bulkiness of clothing shall be includedin estimating the required work performance and weightto be lifted by the worker.

5. The work shall be arranged in such a way that sittingstill or standing still for long periods is minimized.Unprotected metal chair seats shall not be used. Theworker should be protected from drafts to the gretesextent possible.

6. The workers shall be instructed in safety and healthprocedures. The training program shall include as aminimum instruction in:

a. Proper rewarming procedures and appropriate firstaid treatment.

b. Proper clothing practices.

c. Proper eating and drinking habits.

d. Recognition of impending frostbite.

e. Recognition signs and symptoms of impendinghypothermia or excessive cooling of the body evenwhen shivering does not occur.

f. Safe work practices.

0442K

400250

Special caution shall be exercised when working with toxicsubstances and when workers are exposed to vibration. Coldexposure may require reduced exposure limits.

Eye protection for workers employed out-of-doors in a snowand/or ice-covered terrain shall be supplied. Special safetygoggles to protect against ultraviolet light and glare (whichcan produce temporary conjunctivitis and/or temporary loss ofvision) and blowing ice crystals ae required when there is anexpanse of snow coverage causing a potential eye exposurehazard.

Workplace monitoring is required as follows:

Suitable thermometry should be arranged at any workplace wherethe environmental tf-.mperature is below 16°C (60°F) to enableoverall compliance with the requirements of the TLV to bemaintained.

In outdoor situations, the windspeed should be measured andrecorded at least every 4 hours, together with the airtemperature whenever the air temperature is below -1°C (30°F).

For exposed skin, continuous exposure should not be permittedwhen the air speed results in an equivalent chill temperatureof -32°C (-25°F). Superficial or deep local tissue freezingwill occur at temperatures below -1°C regardless of wind speed.

Work-Warming Regimen

If work is performed continuously in the cold at an equivalentchill temperature (ECT) or below -7.°C (20°F) heated warmingshelters (tents, cabins, rest rooms, etc.) shall be madeavailable nearby and the workers should be encouraged to usethese shelters at regular intervals, the frequency depending onthe severity of the environmental exposure. The onset of heavyshivering, frostnip, the feeling of excessive fatigue,drowsiness, irritability, or euphoria, are indications forimmediate return to the shelter. When entering the heatedshelter the outerlayer of clothing shall be removed and theremainder of the clothing loosened to permit sweat evaporationor a change of dry work clothing provided. A change of drywork clothing shall be provided as necessary to prevent workersfrom returning to their work with wet clothing. Dehydration,or the loss of body fluids, occurs insidiously in the coldenvironment and may increase the susceptibility of the workerto cold injury due to a significant change in blood flow to theextremities. Warm sweet drinks and soups should be provided atthe work site to provide caloric intake and fluid volume. Theintake of coffee should be limited because of a diuretic andcirculatory effect.

Warm liquids (hot soup or tea) are obviously preferable sincethey do not have tc be warmed by the body after consumption.Cold foods and drinks should only be eaten as a matter ofnecessity. Hair should be cut and beards shaved or clippedclosely. Long hair or a beard add very little in insulationvalue and natural hair oils soil the clothing. In the open, abeard serves as a base for ice build-up and will mask theappearance of frost bite. Electric razors are preferable sincethey do not remove protective oils from the face.

0442K

Protective Clothing

1. Clothing for both cold-wet (moderately cold weatherabove 14F) and cold-dry (temperatures below 14F) shouldbe available.

2. Clothing worn loosely and in layers provides maximumprotection because the trapped layers of warm air aremore effective insulators than the cloth itself.

3. Clothing must be kept dry.' If. not, the exposure tocold must be altered with periods of rewarming anddrying of clothes.

4. Moisture should be kept off clothes by brushing orshaking snow from it prior to entering heated shelters.

5. Means of evaporating perspiration should be encouragedby opening the neck, waist, arm sleeves and anklefasteners as needed to provide periodic fresh aircirculation.

6. During severe wind-chill conditions, a cold weathermask or wool scarf should also be worn.

7. When wearing face protectors that they be removedperiodically to check for frost bite.

8. Skin on the hands can freeze easily, therefore, coldmetal should never be touched with bare hands. Specialprotection of the hands is required to maintain manualdexterity for the prevention accidents. If the airtemperature is -17.5°C (0°F), the hands should beprotected by mittens.

9. Pants should be tucked in and lapped over boot tops toprevent the entry of snow and cold water into the boot.

10. The foot wear for outdoor work in wet snow should bewater proof and reach well up on the leg. The solesand upper part of the boot should provide goodinsulation as well. A combination of working boots andrubber overbnots provides this insulation.

11. Socks should be fairly heavy and reach well up on theleg to encourage wicking and evaporation of sweat.

Other Precautions

Balanced meals and adequate liquid intake are essential to bodyheat production and the prevention of dehydration. Dehydrationis as prevalent in cold regions as it is in hot, dry areas.

Warm liquids (hot soup or tea) are obviously preferable sincethey do not have tc be warmed by the body after consumption.Cold foods and drinks should only be eaten as a matter ofnecessity. Hair should be cut and beards shaved or clippedclosely. Long hair or a beard add very little in insulationvalue and natural hair oils soil the clothing. In the open, abeard serves as a base for ice build-up and will mask theappearance of frost bite. Electric razors are preferable sincethey do not remove protective oils from the face.
