O o I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Borough of Rockaway (Rockaway Borough) is located in central Morris County, New Jersey (Figure 1). Since 1922, Rockaway Borough has operated 11 public supply wells for the municipality. Eight of these wells have since been abandoned. The remaining three wells (No. 1, No. 5, and No. 6) supply potable water to Rockaway Borough and portions of Denville and Rockaway Townships. The wells can produce up to l.l million gallons of water per day. The three wells comprise the Rockaway Borough Well Field, and draw water from the glacial (overburden) . This aquifer is the sole source of for the communities it supplies. Ebasco Services Incorporated, under contract to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), is undertaking a study to delineate the horizontal and vertical extent of groundwater— contamination, and to identify sources of the contamination. To obtain this inforTnation, thirteen (13) monitoring wells will be- installed and four (4) additional soil borings will be drilled by the successful offeror in accordance with this statement of work. A map of the study area is shown in Figure 2. On site activities shall commence two weeks after subcontract _ award and be completed within 14 weeks after subcontract award. . The successful offeror will be responsible for well installation permits. The REM III for Ebasco on this work assignment will be in charge of supervising the successful offeror (Subcontractor) during performance of this statement of work.

B. SITE GEOLOGY Rockaway Borough is located within the New Jersey Highlands Physiographic Province. This area is characterized by northeast trending ridges that are separated by broad valleys that lie 200- 300 feet below the ridge crests (Sims, 1953). Ridge orientations reflects the erosion and lithology of . The topography also exhibits the effects of glaciation. Bedrock within the area consists of Pre-Cambrian metasedimentary and igneous rocks (Sims, 1953). Overlying bedrock are surfical deposits of predominantly glacial origin. These deposits-vary from glacial-fluvial clays and to coarse cobble and boulder deposits left as part of a terminal- moraine of the Wisconson Stage. This moraine generally parallels the Rockaway River. The thickness of these deposits varies — depending on the proximity to the terminal moraine. Near the site, glacial deposits vary in thickness from nonexistent in ^ outcrop areas to over 200 feet thick in valley floors. Within a ^ mile of the site, the Mount Hope Fault Trace is the largest fault o o NJ

MAP OF ROCKAWAY BOROUGH 80B0UGH OF ROCKAWAY FQP present. Fault sets in the area are dominated by two trends: a northeast trending set and a northwest trending set. The geology of Rockaway Borough is similar to the regional geologic setting. Bedrock is overlain by glacial deposits in most of the study area. The thickness of these deposits vary and are typically thickest in the valleys. Geologic investigations performed in Rockaway Borough determined that glacial-fluvial deposits occur up to 200 feet thick in the valley. These deposits vary from fine grained silts and clays to boulders that are up to eight feet in diameter. In general, coarser deposits were deposited immediately above bedrock. Clays, silts and overlie the and coarser deposits. Within the valley glacial fluvial deposits can be divided into six major stratigraphic units. These units consist of: l) undifferentiated till, 2) inorganic lenses, 3) well sorted sand and gravel unit containing gravel rich horizons, 4) a thinly laminated , silt and fine grained sand unit, 5) a boulder and cobble unit with abundant sand and gravel, and 6) gneissic and/or dioritic bedrock. Shallower investigations performed by SAIC (1985) encountered similar stratigraphic units, not including bedrock. Actual total thickness of unconsolidated deposits in Rockaway Borough is unknown.

C. HYDROGEOLOGY Groundwater is contained within both Pre-Cambrian and Quaternary unconsolidated formations in Rockaway Borough. The respective are utilized for private, commercial, and industrial purposes. Wells tapping the aquifer in the unconsolidated zone show yields between 0.14 and 1.25 gallons per minute (SAIC, 198 6).

Groundwater located in the stratified drift deposits (bedded sand and gravel) comprises the largest and most productive aquifer in Rockaway Borough. The stratified drift aquifer is unconfined and under water-table conditions where till materials do not overlie the drift. In areas where the stratified drift is overlain by glacial till, it is reported (by SAIC) that the aquifer may be under confined or semi-confined conditions. Slug tests performed on -SAIC monitor wells recorded hydraulic conductivities ranging from 0.006 to 0.90 ft./day. Aquifer- pumping tests performed by Legette, Brashears, and Graham in 1974 recorded an average of 23.20 ft./day. to Such discrepancy between SAIC and the 1974 hydraulic conductivity ^ values indicate that the SAIC wells likely screen strata within glacial till and/or low-permeable zones (clay and silt interbeds) o in stratified drift. 5

o The approximate depth to water in the unconsolidated formation aquifer(s) is between 6 and 50 feet below ground surface. Pumping influences and a monitor well's distance from a pumping well dictate water levels at specific locations. The hydraulic gradient in the unconsolidated foirmation aquifer is multidirectional (due to production wells), and ranges from 0.021 to 0.071 ft./ft. Naturally-occurring hydraulic gradients are expected to follow topographic gradients. D. SCOPE OF WORK This Scope of Work defines the requirements for drilling at the Rockaway Borough Well Field site. The work that will be provided under this subcontract is summarized as follows: o Clear access routes and prepare drilling sites as necessary. o Decontaminate the drilling rigs and down-hole sampling equipment, upon arrival, prior to moving to the next drilling site, and at completion. Well screens and casing must be steam cleaned prior to installation. o Remove and seal existing monitor wells indicated by the Ebasco field representative. It is estimated two existing wells will be sealed. Sealing will be performed to New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection specifications (Attachment 6) by a New Jersey State Certified Well Sealer. o Install an estimated 13 monitor wells at the approximate locations shown in Figure 3. Monitoring wells will be installed utilizing the mud rotary drilling and hollow stem auger techniques. Monitoring wells (Table 1) will be constructed of 4 inch (I.D.), threaded, flush-joint, Schedule five (5), type 304 stainless casing with stainless steel well screens (slot size 0.010 inches - 10 slot), and a stainless steel bottom plug. Shallow and intermediate monitor wells will have twenty (20) foot screens meeting said specifications. Deep monitor wells will have ten (10) foot screens. All monitor wells will have a stainless steel well cap and an eight (8) inch I.D. diameter, five (5) foot steel protective casing with a locking cap. Stick up and/or flush mount wells will be installed as specified by the Ebasco field representative. n o o NJ

NJ (Jl III. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS A. CODES AND STANDARDS Services furnished shall be in accordance with the codes and standards listed below. Later editions may be used by mutual consent in writing between the Subcontractor and Ebasco's representative. In addition to these codes and standards, the Subcontractor shall comply with all applicable State and local ordinances, laws and regulations. o ASTM D1452-80 - American Society for Testing and Materials Standard Practice Method for Soil Investigations and Sampling by Auger Borings, o ASTM D1586-84 - American Society for Testing and materials Standard Method for Penetration Test and Split-Barrel Sampling of Soils. ASTM standards have been modified for the use of a three hundred pound (3 00 lb.) hammer, along with a 3-inch I.D. split-spoon for split-spoon sampling. A larger volume of sample is needed during continuous split-spoon sampling because these samples are intended for chemical analysis. The use of a down-hole hammer is not acceptable. o ASTM D1587-83 - American Society for Testing and materials Standard Practice for This-Walled Sampling of Soils. The offeror is not perinitted to use oil, grease or other based lubricants on the drill rods, casing, or sampling . However, vegetable oil may be utilized. Well sealing will be performed by certified Subcontractor personnel in conformance with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Standard Specifications for Sealing Abandoned Wells (Attachment 6). All wells must be sealed to meet the applicable State of New Jersey regulations.

B. MONITORING WELLS AND SOIL BORINGS 1. Drilling Site Access The Subcontractor will provide sufficient manpower and equipment to clear access routes and prepare drilling sites as necessary.

o 25 S

NJ 2. Soil Boring and Sampling Subcontractor shall utilize hollow stem auger and sampling techniques for as long as subsurface conditions allow. Ebasco's field representative in conjunction with the drilling supervisor will determine the change to mud rotary drilling and sampling techniques. Specific geologic conditions warranting a change from hollow stem auger to mud rotary are: 1) Subsurface gravel and boulder deposits which prevent hollow stem augers from advancing; 2) Running which prevent sample collection by hollow stem augers; 3) Lack of borehole integrity. Because of the sand, and boulders at the site, augers may deflect off the side of a boulder. Subsequently, the augers may not drill straight. His will cause the problems with the augers migrating at the surface and moving away from the rig preventing sample collection, additional augering (without resetting on borehole) or resulting in the auger head or crown being unable to attach back onto the hollow stem augers.

Split-spoon samples will be obtained using a three hundred (300) pound hammer with a thirty (3 0) inch drop on a two (2) foot long split spoon with a three (3) inch inner diameter. Samples will be collected continuously to the water table in the deep test borings at well locations RBWIA, RBW2, RBW3, RBW4, RBW5, RBW6, RBW7A, RBW8, RBW9, and RBWIO, shown in Figure 3. Split-spoon samples will be collected at 5-foot intervals below the water table to the final depth at these locations. During mud rotary drilling, temporary four and one quarter (4-1/4) inch steel flush joint protective casing may be needed should borehole integrity deteriorate. This casing will not remain in the hole. Prior to well installation, the boring will be rheemed to an eight (8) inch diameter.

Four (4) test borings will be drilled at the approximate locations shown in Figure 4 using a four and one quarter (4-1/4) inch I.D. (eight (8) inch O.D.) hollow stem auger. Two (2) foot long 3 inch I.D. (300 lb hammer, 30 inch drop) split-spoon samples will be obtained continuously to the water table. Each borehole will be grouted to the surface immediately after completion of sample collection.

When mud rotary drilling is utilized for soil borings, four and w one quarter (4 1/4) inch steel flush jointed protective casing will be installed as needed to maintain borehole integrity. This o casing will not remain in the hole. o N> 26 O NJ -J Four (4) Shelby tube samples will be collected at locations and depths specified by Ebasco's representative. A successfully obtained Shelby tube contains a minimum of 75% recovery of undisturbed sample. Ebasco's field representative will determine Shelby tube recovery and will request another attempt in the same boring following an unsuccessful attempt. 3. Monitoring Wells An estimated thirteen (13) monitoring wells will be installed at the approximate locations shown in Figure 3 after augering six (6) inch I.D. (twelve (12) inch O.D.) hollow stem auger. Deep and intermediate wells that cannot be augered will be drilled by mud rotary methods. Subsurface conditions encountered and depth of boring will determine the need for mud rotary drilling technique. The monitoring wells will be constructed of four (4) inch (I.D.) diameter, threaded, flush joint, schedule five (5), type 304 stainless steel casing with 0.010 inch (10 slot), stainless steel well screens and stainless steel bottom plug. Deep monitoring wells will have 10 feet of screen meeting said specifications. Intermediate and shallow monitoring wells will have 20 feet of screen meeting said specifications. Monitoring wells will have a two (2) foot riser at the surface or flush mount. A typical groundwater monitoring well diagram is shown on Figure 5. While slowly pulling back the auger, a uniformly graded sand pack (#1 Morie or equivalent) will be placed around the well screen, extending to two feet above the screen by pouring into the hollow-stem auger.

A Morie #1 sand or equivalent will be used as filter pack material. Approximately two feet of bentonite pellets will be added on top of the sand pack. The depths to the top of the gravel pack and bentonite layer must be measured to determine appropriate depths and that no bridging of materials has occurred. Bentonite pellets will be allowed to hydrate (approximately 60 minutes) before grouting operations commence. The remainder of the annulus will be grouted to about three (3) feet from the surface with a cement-bentonite grout mixture (94 pounds of cement mixed with 5 pounds of bentonite powder), per 8 gallons of water by the tremie pipe method. One half teaspoon of aluminum hydroxide is to be used to decrease the drying time of the grout. The grout will be allowed to set for twenty-four (24) hours before well development. Any water purged from the well during the addition of the sand pack must be containerized in DOT Spec 17 55 gallon drums if air monitoring determines that organic compounds are volatilizing or if the boring location is 3 inappropriate for discharge to the ground surface. ,^ o o NJ

NJ A five-foot long hinged, locking steel protective casing or flush mount will be placed over the riser pipe at the surface. The Subcontractor shall provide thirteen (13) locks each which shall fit on the locking cap. The Subcontractor shall provide 5 keys to Ebasco's representative (all locks will be keyed alike). The protective casing will be painted grey with rust-proof spray paint. The well identification, consisting of the State of New Jersey well permit number and Ebasco's Representative well identification number, will be steel-stamped onto the steel casing. Additional grout will be added to the hole before setting the protective casing in the annulus and while the last addition of grout is still fluid.

All drill cuttings and drilling fluids shall be disposed of by discharging onto the ground surface or by containerization in DOT Specs 17, 55 gallon drums. Drill cuttings and fluids will be drummed if air monitoring determines emissions of volatile organic compounds greater than one (1) part per million (ppm), or if the boring location is inappropriate for discharge to the ground surface. Anticipated locations for drumming cuttings and fluids include RBWl, RBWIA, and the four (4) test borings.

All drill rods, casing, down-hole sampling equipment, screen, and riser shall be decontaminated.by the Subcontractor before use, and before leaving the job site. Decontamination waste water will be discharged onto the ground or containerized in DOT Spec 17 55 gallon drums, depending on the above criteria. Waste drums will be moved by the Subcontractor to a designated drum storage area to be located on site. The drums will be placed on wood pallets (minimum size 4' x 4' x 4") provided by the Subcontractor. A cement collar will be placed around the wells after the grout has set-up. The collar will be sloped away from the well to permit drainage. The cement will consist of ninety-four (94) pounds of cement per eight (8) gallons of water. 4. Decontamination The Subcontractor will be responsible for decontaminating equipment during the various phases of work as follows: o Arrival on Site — Decontaminate entire drill rig, rods, augers, , hoses, tools and all associated equipment on initial arrival, prior to beginning borings. w ^ o o NJ

29 o o Monitoring Well Installations - Decontaminate all drill rods, augers, water pumps and hoses, down-hole sampling and measuring equipment, and the back of each drilling rig before drilling each well and before any equipment leaves the job site. Also decontaminate well screen and riser pipes before installing well.

o Drilling Eguipment. Well Screens, and Well Risers - Decontamination of drilling rigs, drill rods, augers, and well screen, risers and protective and outer casings will consist of steam cleaning and brushing to remove heavy solids. o Split-Spoon Samplers - Decontamination of split-spoon samplers for obtaining soil samples for chemical analyses will be as follows: 1. Steam clean and brush to remove heavy solids, 2. Alconox or liquinox detergent scrub, 3. Potable water rinse, 4. 1% nitric acid rinse, 5. Acetone rinse ( grade), 6. Distilled, deionized water rinse, 7. Air dry, and 8. Wrap in aluminum foil. The Subcontractor will supply the personnel to perform the decontamination. The Subcontractor will also supply the steam generator and the potable water. Ebasco's representative will supply the acetone, nitric acid, and the distilled, deionized water. Subcontractor will containerize all waste generated by the split spoon decontamination procedure in USDOT Specs 17, 55 gallon drums. Water or soil generated from steam cleaning will be discharged onto the ground or collected in 55-gallon drums meeting USDOT Specs 17, if the above criteria determine it to be necessary. All disposable equipment and protective clothing generated during these activities will be handled in a similar manner. All driims of waste generated by any Subcontractor activity will be marked by the Subcontractor to reference the source of generation, the date generated, and the contents.

Waste drums will be transported by the Subcontractor to a designated drum storage area to be located within the Borough site. The drxims will be placed on wood, pallets provided by the Subcontractor (minimum 4' x 4' x 4"), which are capable of t^ supporting 4 drums at full weight capacity. o o NJ

30 O 00 8. Well Development All wells installed by the Subcontractor will be developed by the Subcontractor twenty-four (24) hours after completing installation or prior to demobilization. Development of wells installed utilizing mud rotary technique will be performed by the surge block or the air lift method. Air lift, direct pumping fay a , or surge block methods will be used to develop wells installed utilizing the hollow stem auger technique. If subcontractors utilize the air lift method for development they must: 1) make sure that there is an oil filter or compressor if used; and 2) utilize a method by which to control the development water flow and direction.

Ebasco's field representative will specify the duration of development. For the purposes of this proposal, assume two hours of development per monitoring well. The development water will be containerized by the Subcontractor into DOT Specs 17 55-gallon drums if well location makes discharge to the ground inappropriate or if the water is determined to be emitting volatile organic compounds at a concentration of greater than one (1) part per million. Containerization of wastes will be done concurrently with the development and marked by the Subcontractor as above.

Waste drums will then be moved by the Subcontractor to a designated drum storage area to be located on-site. The driims will be placed on pallets provided by the Subcontractor. C. DECONTAMINATION The Subcontractor will be responsible for decontaminating equipment by steam cleaning between each location. The equipment to be used on site will be steam cleaned before arriving at each location. The Subcontractor is responsible for providing a potable water source, a steam cleaner, and any equipment or personnel that is required to decontaminate equipment. The Subcontractor will steam clean all equipment before leaving the site to satisfaction of Ebasco. Steam cleaning will be conducted where designated by Ebasco's field representative. Subcontractor will control run off or drum waste water as deemed necessary by Ebasco's field representative.

OD 4.3 SITE HISTORY AND PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION 4.3.1 Location This Phase II RI/FS will take place in Rockaway Borough, Morris County, New Jersey. Field activities will take place at many locations within the Borough due to the nature of the project, which principally involves an investigation of area groundwater contamination. The general site area is depicted in Figure 4-1. Approximate locations that will be investigated are listed in Table 4-1. Specific sampling locations will be determined during the investigation and through consultation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). It is possible that additional areas of concern will be identified during the course of the investigation. Should this occur, the HASP will be revised as needed. During a later stage of this investigation remedial will be evaluated. An addendum to this HASP will be issued in order to address the activities that will be proposed. 4.3.2 History In 1979, groundwater in the Township of Rockaway, which borders Rockaway Borough, was found to be contaminated. As a result Rockaway Borough's three municipal wells were tested in 1980. Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) concentrations as high as 678 ppb and trichloroethylene (TCE) concentrations as high as 172 ppb were detected. - - In February 1981 residents were advised to discontinue using for drinking and purposes. Emergency drinking water supplies were provided to residents. Later in 1981, treatment of groundwater with an activated carbon adsorption system was implemented as an interim measure pending the development of a final remedial action. The Wellfield Site was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) of uncontrolled hazardous waste sites in 1982. Monthly monitoring of the raw and treated water indicates that the treatment has generally been effective. Investigations that have been conducted have identified three likely sources of PCE and TCE contamination. Section 4.4 summarizes the incidents, complaints, and actions that have taken place.

2t'I0 200 AMa 4.3.3 Description Approximately 6,600 people reside in the two square mile borough. Land use is a mix of residential, business, commercial and industrial zones. The Rockaway Borough Wellfield is the sole source of potable water for 11,000 people in the Borough and neighboring communities. Three municipal wells are in service, providing more than 1.1 million gallons of water per day. Well No. 1 is only used when necessary for adequate volume, due to its relatively high concentrations of contaminants. The major contaminants, PCE and TCE, have been detected at up to 678 ppb and 172 ppb, respectively, in the wellfield. Other contaminants that have been detected include 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trans-1,2- dichloroethylene, toluene, benzene, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. As previously stated, since 1981, a granular activated carbon adsorption system has been used to treat the water supply. The Phase II hydrogeologic investigation will include sampling at numerous wells and at the Rockaway River, which flows through the borough. Potential sources of contamination will also be invest igated. An industrial location was identified as a likely primary source of TCE contamination during the Phase I investigation. This site has also been investigated as an ECRA case. Contaminated soil was found in close proximity to a leaking underground storage tank that contained 92% TCE. TCE was-also detected in catch basin sediment. Groundwater contamination with volatile organics including TCE was detected at all monitoring wells that were installed at the property. At a second location, an elevator sump was found to be contaminated with leachate containing TCE, PCE, 1,1,1- trichloroethane, dimethyl sulfide and other compounds. The site, which has been investigated by NJDEP Division of Water Resources, represents a 15 acre industrial park with 30 tenants. There are two ponds that once received wastewater on the property, and two acid pits off-site. This location may represent a secondary PCE/TCE contamination source. A dry.cleaning establishment is the third suspected source of contamination. Other locations that may be investigated include a former canal that is now filled in, other landfill areas and commercial facilities such as auto body shops.

U) 4.4 SITE RELATED INCIDENTS, COMPLAINTS AND ACTIONS 1979 Volatile organic contaminants were found in Rockaway Township wells, prompting water quality testing in several surrounding communities.

1980 Rockaway Borough supply wells were tested and found to be contaminated with tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and trichloroethylene (TCE).

NJDEP directed the Borough to restrict the use of Wells #5 and #6, implement treatment of the public water supply, and perform monthly groundwater analysis for volatile organics. The Borough began monitoring in August 1980. 1981 On February 27, 1981, the Superintendent of Rockaway Water Works Department notified NJDEP that monitoring showed a PCE concentration of 649 ppb in Well #6 and 180 ppb in the distribution system.

On February 28, 1981, the Rockaway Borough Mayor . declared a water emergency, advising residents to discontinue the use of tap water for drinking and cooking. Emergency drinking water supplies were provided by National Guard water tank trucks. From March through June 1981, the Borough installed a 3-bed activated carbon adsorption system for the treatment of groundwater. On July 7, 1981 the Borough Mayor confirmed that treatment had reduced PCE concentrations to levels allowing safe use of tap water for drinking and cooking. The water emergency was declared over.

1982 Rockaway Borough Wellfield was placed on the CERCLA National Priorities List. 1983 U.S. EPA Remedial Action Master Plan was completed in August 1983. 1985 to 1986 From January 1985 to August 1986, a Phase I RI/FS was conducted in order to identify the extent of groundwater contamination present and to identify potential contaminant sources. Three likely >^ source areas of contamination were identified. ^

o o to 1987 During an ECRA investigation of an within the Borough, elevated levels of volatile organics were detected in all site monitoring wells. Soil and sediment at the site were found to be contaminated with PCE and TCE. A leaking underground storage tank that contained 92% TCE was identified and removed from the site during the investigation. 1988 A Request for Proposal for a Phase II RI/FS was issued by NJDEP in March 1988.

10 on 4.5 HAZARD ASSESSMENT 4.5.1 Chemical Contaminants In Tables 4-2 and 4-3, chemicals that have been detected at site locations are listed along with potential health effects, maximum concentrations detected and pertinent chemical information. Known contamination includes high groundwater concentrations of PCE and TCE, which are both suspected carcinogens. Lower concentrations of other contaminants have also been identified. Contamination of soil and sediments with PCE, TCE and petroleum hydrocarbons has been identified at one of the suspected contaminant sources. A soil gas investigation has detected PCE and TCE in soil at three general locations. The chemical hazards that may be presented at fill areas are not yet known. The Remedial Action Master Plan reported oily soils and several empty degreaser aerosol cans at a suspected dump site in an industrial area. (During initial entry into suspected fill areas, screening for radiation with a radiation detector will be conducted, although there are no indications that radiation sources are present.) Analyses of Rockaway River sediments have shown the presence of up to 1.3 ppm of PCBs, 7.2 ppm polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and part per billion levels of . Limited investigations indicate that contaminant levels of concern are not present in the river surface water. There is one known discharge point with a pH of approximately 9.5. Surface -water and sediment at the former wastewater pond have not yet been characterized. On-site monitoring will be conducted during site activities so that personal protection can be upgraded when necessary (see 4.6 below). 4.5.2 Physical Hazards Potential physical hazards that may be encountered during the investigation include: • Possible unstable ground at the Morris Canal and other fill areas (the nature of the fill material is not known),

o NJ m 16 4.6 SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS FOR SITE OPERATIONS 4.6.1 Chemical Hazards The contaminants that may be encountered during the investigation are found primarily in groundwater and soils. Potential exposure could occur through dermal or respiratory routes. Level D will be sufficient for most site activities. Regular on-site air monitoring will be practiced so that personal protection is upgraded when needed. Monitoring will be conducted with an organic vapor analyzer etjuipped with a flame ionization detector (FID) , an HNU photoionizer (photionization detector) ecjuipped with a 10.2 eV bulb (PID), and a real time dust monitor. Also, a Geiger-Mueller radiation detector will be used for radiation screening in fill areas that have not yet been characterized and during drilling activities (Section 4.6.2). Operations will generally be started in Level D personal protection. Based upon on-site monitoring, protection will be upgraded when needed. For Level C this will include Tyvek and a full-face air purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridges. The action level for upgrading the level of protection to Level C will be a sustained 2 minute time weighted average of 1 ppm or more above background using the FID or PID. A real time dust monitor (mini-RAM) will be used to measure total suspended particulate levels during drilling operations particularly in areas that have known semi-volatile or low volatile soil contaminants (eg., areas with PCBs, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, or pesticides). Semi-volatile and low volatile hydrocarbon contaminants are known to adsorb well to soil particulates. The action level for upgrading the level of protection will be dependent upon the contaminant of concern and its level in the soil.

4.6.2 Physical Hazards

Normal background radiation at sea level is 0.01-0.02 mRem/hour. Levels above this indicate the possible presence of radiation sources on-site. Although there is no history indicating that radioactive sources are located on the Rockaway Borough Wellfield site, routine surveying for alpha, beta and gamma emissions will be performed during drilling activities and work in the uncharacterized fill areas using a Geiger-Mueller detector. w Since naturally occurring radiation () has been associated ^ with soil in many areas of New Jersey it is possible that elevated levels of ionizing radiation may be measured. If levels o of radiation approach 0.2 mRem/hour (order of magnitude above o background level) thorough monitoring will be performed and a NJ health physicist will be contacted. Work will be conducted in Level C with air purifying respirators etjuipped with GMC-H en NJ 17 radionuclide daughters. Since ICF personnel are not trained nor have the- appropriate protective clothing, at sustained levels of 0.5 mRem/hour we will cease drilling operations in the affected area. Workers will be forewarned of potential dangers such as traffic hazards, unstable ground and the unknown nature of fill materials at the former canal and other fill areas. If work is conducted near traffic, appropriate safety measures will be taken. This will include the use of traffic cones and/or signs, flashing lights, and traffic re-routing when necessary. 4.6.3 Levels of Protection for Specific Site Activities Based upon the above assessment of risks to be encountered, the following levels of protection are considered to be appropriate: Level of Task Personal Protection Monitoring Well Installation D Soil Boring Installation/Collection C/D Monitoring Well Sealing D Pump Test D Groundwater Sampling D Investigation of Fill Areas C/D Site Survey D All operations will be started in Level D personal protection and will upgrade accordingly if warranted by monitoring results.

18 I-' Ln OJ 4.7 TRAINING REQUIREMENTS 4.7.1 Basic Training Required

Completion of the REM III Hazardous Waste Training Program or its equivalent is required for all employees who will perform work in areas where the potential for a toxic exposure exists. Training and/or training with site experience must also conform to the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.120.

4.7.2 Advanced Training Advanced training, as necessary, will be provided to any personnel expected to perform specialized operations at the site. 4.7.3 Site-Specific Training Training will be provided that will specifically address the activities, procedures, monitoring, and equipment for the site operations. It will include site and facility layout, hazards, and emergency services at the site, and will detail all provisions contained within this HASP. This training will also allow field workers to clarify anything they do not understand and to reinforce their responsibilities regarding safety and operations for their particular activity.

4.7.4 Safety Briefings Project personnel will be given briefings by the SHSO or Assistant SHSO on a daily or as needed basis to further assist site personnel in conducting their activities safely. They will be provided when new operations are to be conducted, changes in work practices must be implemented due to new information made available, or if site or environmental conditions change. Briefings will also be given to facilitate conformance with prescribed safety practices when performance deficiencies are identified during routine daily activities or as a result of safety audits.

4.7.5 First Aid and CPR The CHSS will identify those individuals requiring this training in order to ensure that emergency treatment is available during field activities. It is expected that a select number of field workers will have First Aid training and CPR training. These courses will be consistent with the requirements of the American Red Cross. SI

(Jl 4.8 ZONES, PERSONNEL PROTECTION, AND COMMUNICATION 4.8.1 Site Zones Support Zone - The Support Zone (SZ) will consist of a trailer, vehicles, emergency communication, first aid supplies and other equipment needed for field activities. This area will be kept clean from contamination by means of strict enforcement of decontamination procedures. A contamination control line will designate contamination reduction areas versus clean areas. The command post location will be determined pending discussion with Borough officals. At present, consideration has been given to locating the command post at the Rockaway Borough Department of Public Works garage facility on Union Street in Rockaway Borough. Contamination Reduction Zone - The Contamination Reduction Zone (CRZ) will consist of an equipment drop area, a decontamination line and a hot line separating the contamination reduction zone from the exclusion zone. Exclusion Zone (Hot Zone) - An Exclusion Zone (EZ) is an area where contamination does or could occur. The EZ will be delineated at specific work locations according to the RI tasks and their corresponding levels of protection. Where possible the EZ will be delineated with banner tape. Entry to and exit from the EZ will be through the CRZ. Each drilling rig will have a designated EZ associated with it. 4.8.2 Personal Protection 4.8.2.1 Initial Levels of Protection and Criteria for Upgrading The level of protection to be worn by field personnel will be defined and controlled by the SHSO with approval of the CHSS. Decisions to upgrade or to downgrade the level of personal protection, in accordance with this HASP, will be made based upon review of site hazards, conditions, proposed operational requirements, and by monitoring at the particular operation being conducted. Protection may be upgraded or downgraded, as appropriate, only after the SHSO receives authorization from the ICF Technology CHSS. As stated in Section 4.6.3, of this HASP, the following levels of protection are deemed appropriate for this RI/FS: Level of Task Personal Protection 5d Soil Boring Installation C/D Soil Boring Collection C/D Monitoring Well Installation D o Groundwater Sampling D ^ Investigation of Fill Areas C/D

20 Ul All operations will be started in Level D personal protection and will be .upgraded in accordance with monitoring results. Continuous air monitoring of the breathing zone will be performed during all on-site activities using an HNu and/or an OVA. Ambient background levels will be determined upwind of the work area. Radiation screening for alpha, beta, and gamma radiation will be conducted during initial entry into fill areas and during drilling operations. Sporadic radiation monitoring will be conducted during drilling at such locations. A Geiger-Mueller radiation detector will be used. An explosimeter with an oxygen meter will be used for continuous monitoring of drilling operations. Particular action levels for the hydrogeological investigation are provided in Table 4-5. The pertinent readings for these instruments along with the appropriate level of personnel protection are listed below: 1. HNu and/or OVA a. Continuous readings greater than 500 ppm in the breathing zone will dictate site evacuation and a reevaluation of activities and levels of personal protection. b. Continuous readings in the breathing zone from 5 ppm and greater but less than 500 ppm above background may dictate revisions in work techniques and will dictate a minimum of Level B personal protection. - c. Continuous 2 minute duration readings of 1 ppm time weighted average above background will dictate Level C respiratory protection. Level C is worn when levels exceed background by not more than 5 ppm. 2. Explosimeter readings greater than 2 0% LEL will dictate evacuation of the immediate work area and reevaluation of the work plan. Levels greater than 10% LEL will indicate that work proceed with caution. 3. O2 meter levels <19.5% or >25% will dictate evacuation of the immediate work area and reevaluation of the work plan. 4. Radiation readings of 0.2 mRem/hour will call for continued monitoring as workers wearing Level C with GMC-H or HEPA equipped full face cartridge respirators proceed cautiously with activities. A health physicist S3 will be contacted for consultation at this radiation level. At 0.5 mRem/hour evacuation of the immediate work area is retjuired, and the services of a health Oo physicist are necessary. '^ o 21 ^ Level C protection is required when the breathing zone contaminant levels exceed background levels by not more than 5 ppm with the HNu and/or OVA. During drilling operations in any fill areas, if elevated readings are found on the OVA, the HNu should be employed in conjunction with the OVA. Methanogeneisis of buried debris will result in methane generation. Methane has a very high TLV and is relatively innocuous. The OVA can detect methane while the HNu does not. For Level C protection, the following equipment will be used: MSA's ultra twin full face air-purifying respirator with GMC-H type cartridges Saranex coveralls or paper Tyvek Surgical gloves (inner) Nitrile gloves (outer) Steel toe/shank boots meeting ANSI requirements Disposable rubber boot covers Hardhat (during drilling activities) Communication with support zone When Level C is initially used, select workers will have task specific air sampling performed using Draeger tubes for identification of airborne organic contaminants. For respiratory protection at radiation levels from 0.2 mRem/hour up to 0.5 mRem/hour, a full-face air purifying respirator with GMC-H or HEPA cartridges will be worn, and monitoring with the Geiger-Mueller detector will continue. Level D protection is the minimum level of protection during any site activities. It is acceptable when contaminant levels do not exceed background levels as described above. The following equipment constitutes Level D protection: Saranex coveralls or paper Tyvek Surgical gloves (inner) Nitrile gloves (outer) Steel toe/shank safety boots meeting ANSI requirements Disposable rubber boot covers Hardhat (during drilling activities) Communication with support zone Safety glasses where appropriate, that meet ANSI requirements 4.8.2.2 Safety Egiiipment Basic emergency and first aid etjuipment will be available at the w Support Zone and/or the CRZ, as appropriate. This shall include ^ first aid kit, emergency eyewash or portable 5 to 10 gallon water spray container, fire extinguishers, and other safety-related o equipment. Also located in the Support Zone of the CRZ will be a S backup field team when required to support downrange field teams. o I—" 22 Ul -J The Command Post will be manned during all times when teams are downrange and communications will be maintained. Equipment to be provided includes: HNu or OVA Geiger-Mueller radiation detector Air horn Combustible gas indicator with oxygen alarm Draeger monitoring tubes Portable eye wash station - Personal protective gear Two fire extinguishers (minimum of one per drill rig) First-aid kit Stretcher Monitoring equipment operation procedures are described in Appendix F. 4.8.3 Communications Walkie-Talkies - Hand held units shall be utilized as needed by field teams for communication between downrange operations and the Command Post. Telephones - A telephone will be located in the Command Post trailer in the Support Zone for communication with emergency support services/facilities. If not. appropriate for a particular project, the nearest public phones shall be identified. Air Horns - These will be carried by downrange field teams and also will be maintained at the Support Zone for announcing emergency evacuation procedures (see Section 4.13) and backup for other forms of communications. Hand Signals - To be employed by downrange field teams along with utilizing the buddy system. These signals are also very important when working with heavy etjuipment. They shall be known by the entire field team before operations commence and covered during site-specific training. Hand signals and their meanings: Hand gripping throat - out of air; cannot breathe; Grip partners wrists or place both hands around waist - leave immediately; Hands on top of head - need assistance; Thumbs up - ok, I'm alright; I understand; ^ Thximbs down - no; negative. % o o NJ

23 (ji 00 4.9 MONITORING PROCEDURES FOR SITE OPERATIONS 4.9.1 Monitoring During Site Operations Air monitoring will be conducted during various field activities with special emphasis on air monitoring during initial entry into fill areas, soil boring activities, monitoring well installation, and sampling of groundwater monitoring wells. Meteorological monitoring of climatic conditions will also be conducted during these activities. Recjuired levels of protection and monitoring equipment are provided in Table 4-4, and action levels during the hydrogeological investigation are provided in Table 4-5. 4.9.1.1 Drilling Operations and Groundwater Monitoring Continual air monitoring will be conducted during all drilling and groundwater monitoring operations by the SHSO. A photoionization detector (PID) or organic vapor analyzer (OVA) will be used to monitor the breathing zone, the borehole, and all geologic samples. A combustible gas indicator (CGI) will also be used for monitoring for the presence of combustible gases and a radiation meter for the presence of radioactive materials. Initial screening of existing monitoring wells will be conducted using a photoionization detector (PID) or organic vapor analyzer (OVA) prior to sampling. 4.9.2 Personnel Monitoring Procedures During the conduct of site operations, personnel monitoring will be performed to establish and document the environment in which field teams have been working. This monitoring will comply with the requirements of the REM III Health and Safety Program and with OSHA regulations. Use of the cartridge respirators shall be monitored to comply with OSHA and to document compliance with acceptable exposure criteria. A respirator maintenance program will be in effect and will include washing and hanging of respirators on a daily basis. (See 4.10.5.) The use of cartridge air purifying respirators will be supplemented with some personnel task and full-shift air sampling. 4.9.3 Medical Surveillance Procedures for Evidence of Personal Exposure All REM III personnel and subcontractors who will be performing field work at the Rockaway Borough Wellfield site will be required to pass REM Ill's medical surveillance examination or w n o o NJ

NJ 4.10 DECONTAMINATION All personnel and ecjuipment exiting each respective exclusion zone (or sampling location) shall be decontaminated. Required equipment may include a steam generator with high pressure water and 55-gallon drums to collect rinsate and dispose of protective clothing. 4.10.1 Personnel Decontamination Procedure Under no circumstances (except emergency evacuation) will personnel be allowed to leave the site prior to decontamination. Decontamination will take place at the drill rig during drilling activities. A generalized procedure for removal of protective clothing is as follows: (See Figure 4-2 for decontamination layout). Station 1 - Equipment Drop: Level B - Deposit equipment used on-site (tools, sampling devices and containers, monitoring instruments, radios, clipboards, etc.) on drop cloths. Segregation at the drop reduces the probability of cross contamination. During hot weather operations, cool down station may be set up within this area. Level C - Same. , . Level D - Same, except for absence of chemical resistant splash suit.

4.10.2 Ecmipment Decontamination Equipment to be decontaminated during the project may include tools, monitoring equipment, respirators, sample containers, laboratory equipment, drilling equipment, and . All decontamination will be done by personnel in protective gear appropriate for the level of decontamination to be determined by the Site Health and Safety Officer. The decontamination work tasks will be split or rotated among support and work crews. 55 Miscellaneous tools and samplers will be dropped into a plastic pail, tub, or other container. They will be brushed off and o rinsed (outside, if possible) and transferred into a second pail o to be carried to further decontamination stations. They will be to washed with a detergent solution, rinsed with methanol, rinsed with a detergent solution, and finally rinsed with clean water. ^

30 Heavy equipment (e.g., drill rig) used for operations where it may be contaminated will have prescribed decontamination procedures to prevent hazardous materials from leaving the site. 4.10.4 Sample Containers Exterior surfaces of sample bottles will be decontaminated prior to packing for transportation to the analytical laboratory- Sample containers will be wiped clean at the sample site, and then taken to the decontamination area. Here they will be further cleaned, as necessary, transferred to a clean carrier, and the sample identities noted and checked off against the chain-of-custody record. The samples, now in a clean carrier, will be stored in a secure area prior to shipment. 4.10.5 Monitoring Ecmipment Monitoring equipment will be protected as much as possible from contamination by draping, masking, or otherwise covering as much of the instruments as possible with plastic without hindering the operation of the unit when performing on-site work. The PID, for example, can be placed in a clear plastic bag which allows reading of the scale and operation of knobs. The PID sensor can be partially wrapped, keeping the sensor tip and discharge port clear. The contaminated equipment will be taken from the drop area and the protective coverings removed and disposed of in the appropriate containers. Any dirt or obvious contamination will be brushed or wiped with a disposable paper wipe. 4.10.6 Respirators Respirators will be decontaminated daily when used. Taken from the drop area, the masks will be disassembled, the cartridges set aside and the respirator placed in a cleansing solution. After an appropriate time within the solution, the parts will be removed and rinsed with tap water. The respirators will be placed on hanging racks to dry properly. The cartridges will be marked as used and replaced daily. In the morning, the masks will be re-assembled and new cartridges installed. Personnel will inspect their own masks to be sure of proper readjustment of straps for proper fit. 4.10.7 Laboratory Ecmipment Sample handling areas and equipment will be cleaned/wiped down daily. Disposable wipes will be used and discarded in a plastic bag. These will subsequently be taken and placed in the disposal ^ drum for final disposition. For final cleanup, all equipment ^ will be disassembled and decontaminated. Any equipment which cannot be satisfactorily decontaminated will be disposed of o (e.g., glassware, covers for surfaces), as previously indicated. g

31 4.11 ADDITIONAL SAFE WORK PRACTICES Workers will be expected to adhere to the established safety practices for their respective specialties. The need to exercise caution in the perfoirmance of specific work tasks is made more acute due to weather conditions, restricted mobility and reduced peripheral vision caused by the protective gear itself, the need to maintain the integrity of the protective gear, and the increased difficulty of oral communication caused by respirators. Work at the site will be conducted according to established protocol and guidelines for the safety and health of all involved. The following are among the most important of these principles for working at the Rockaway Borough Wellfield site:

o In any unknown situation, always assume the worst conditions and plan responses accordingly. o Employ the buddy system. Establish and maintain communication. Working units will consist of a minimum of 2 persons. o Minimize contact with contaminated materials. Plan work areas, decontamination areas, and procedures to accomplish this. o Employ disposable items, when possible, to minimize risks during decontamination and possible cross contamination during sample.handling. This will require a common-sense approach to potential risks and costs. o Smoking, eating, or drinking after entering the work zone and before decontamination will not be allowed. Oral ingestion of contaminants is probably the second most likely means of introduction of toxic substances into the body (inhalation being first).

o Cold stress and heat stress will be addressed during all on-site activities and appropriate preventative measures will be implemented. (See Appendices A and B). Liquids, proper shelters and rest periods will be provided. Avoid heat and other work stresses related to wearing protective gear. Work breaks should be planned to prevent stress-related accidents or fatigue.

o Maintain monitoring systems. Conditions can change quickly if subsurface areas of contamination are penetrated during drilling operations. 'g

o o N>

32 -J Conflicting situations which may arise concerning safety requirements and working conditions must be addressed and resolved rapidly by the Site Health and Safety Officer. Unauthorized breaches of specified safety protocol will not be allowed. Personnel unwilling or unable to comply with the established procedures will be replaced. Any changes in established procedures should be documented on Addendum/Revision Form ( Appendix C). The change should have a valid basis and must be approved by the Site Health and Safety Officer. Be observant of not only one's own immediate surroundings but also that of others. Everyone will be working under physical constraints, and it is a team effort to notice and warn of impending dangerous situations. Extra precautions are necessary when working near heavy equipment while utilizing personal protective gear. Vision, hearing, and communication are restricted by the protective gear. Use of contact lenses will not be allowed on-site. These prevent proper flushing should corrosive or irritating substances enter the eyes. For conducting any activities potentially requiring Level C, removal of facial-hair (except moustaches) to allow a proper facepiece fit will be required. Rigorous contingency planning and dissemination of plans to all personnel minimize the impact of rapidly changing safety protocols in response to changing site conditions. Withdrawal from a hazardous situation to reassess procedures is the preferred course of action.

33 <^ 00 4.12 DISPOSAL PROCEDURES All discarded materials, waste materials, or other objects shall be handled in such a way as to preclude the potential for spreading contamination, creating a sanitary hazard, or causing litter to be left on site. All potentially contaminated materials (e.g., clothing, gloves) will be bagged or drummed as necessary and segregated for disposal. All drums will be closed, bolted, and stored on-site. All contaminated waste materials shall be handled, stored and disposed of as required by the provisions included in the contract and consistent with REM III and regulatory provisions. NJDEP guidance on the disposition of materials generated in the course of site investigations will be followed. All non-contaminated materials shall be collected and bagged for appropriate disposal as normal domestic waste.

34 a^ '.O 4.13 EMERGENCY PLAN With the possibility of an emergency situation, an emergency plan is required to be available at all REM III sites. Various individual site characteristics will determine preliminary action to be taken to assure that this emergency plan may be successfully implemented in the event of a site emergenc:y. Careful consideration must be given to the proximity of housing or places of employment and to the relative possibility of site fire, explosion or release of vapors or gases which will impinge on these neighbors. If there is even a remote possibility of any of these occurrences, the Site Manger must coordinate the neighborhood interface with his Regional Manager, the Community Relations Coordinator, the CHSS and the HSM. 4.13.1 The Site Emergency Coordinator: Site Emergency Coordinator: Michael Pierdinock, Field Operations Leader The emergency coordinator shall make contact with local fire, police, and other emergency units prior to beginning work on site. During these contacts the emergency coordinator will inform the emergency units about the nature and duration of work expected on the site and the type of contaminants and possible health and safety effects of emergencies involving these contaminants. Also at this time the- emergency coordinator and the emergency response units shall make arrangements to handle any emergencies that might be anticipated. The emergency coordinator shall implement the contingency plan whenever conditions at the site warrant such action. The coordinator will be responsible for assuring the evacuation, emergency treatment, emergency transport of site personnel as necessary, and notification of emergency response units and the appropriate management staff. The Emergency Plan details the evacuation procedures to be used if needed during the investigation. 4.13.2 Evacuation In the event of an emergency situation, such as fire, explosive, significant release of toxic gases, etc., an air horn or other appropriate device will be sounded three times for approximately 10 seconds each time, indicating the initiation of evacuation procedures. All personnel in both the restricted and non- •xj restricted areas will evacuate and assemble near the Support Zone and then exit to Jackson Avenue. For efficient and safe site evacuation and assessment of the emergency situation, the o^ Emergency Coordinator will have authority to initiate proper action if outside services are required. Under no circumstances o I—1 35 o will incoming personnel or visitors be allowed to proceed into the area once the emergency signal has been given. The SHSO/or SHSO designee must see that access for* emergency equipment is provided and that all combustion apparatus has been shut down once the alarm has been sounded. Once the safety of all personnel is established, the Rockaway Borough Fire Department and other emergency response groups will be notified by telephone of the emergency.

4.13.3 Potential or Actual Fire or Explosion Perform a head count and immediately evacuate to Jackson Avenue (air horn will sound three times at 5 second intervals). The NJDEP Hotline will be notified in the event of any exposure to individuals off-site or the event of an actual fire or explosion. Notify local fire and police department, and other appropriate emergency response group if LEL values remain above 20% in the work zone for periods longer than 3 0 minutes or if an actual fire or explosion has taken place.

• HXPOIHEEMIA AND FRDSIBETE

A. Syiiiptxros:

When exposed to cold tenperature and/or cold water, the body reacts instinctively in a pattern designed to preserve itself. It resorts to involuntary reactions originating in the brain. Whai the brain recognizes any dangerous tenperature drop in the body core, it signals the body to make adjustments to ocnpensate for the inisalanoe. First, in an attempt to preserve normal temperatures in the vital internal organs, the blood vessels in the extremities ocnstrict (vasoocnstriction). Uiis slows thfe blood flow to the arms and legs, preserving that energy and warm blood for the body core. If there is uuntinnfyi heat loss and if the body core taiperature drops below 95*F (35*C), the body then tries to generate more heat through shivering, which causes metabolic heat production to increase to severed, times the normal rate. Ihis is the first reeil warning sign of hypothermia. Further heat loss, aoccsnpanied by a body core temperature drop to 90*F (32.2*C) or below, results in speech difficulty, loss of Tnannai dexterity, slew reactions, mental confusion and muscle rigidity (muscle hypertonias). If exposure continues further until the body's resources are exhausted and if the cold blood reaches the heart and the brain, heart failure and cana will result and lead inevitably to death. Death occurs when the body core taiperature falls below 78*F (25.6*C).

If exposure occurs in temperatures which, are below freezing (30'F or below), # frostbite or foot (immersion foot) may acoonpany or ccnplicate the synptans of hypothermia. Frostbite is the freezing of living tissues with a resultant brecikdown of cell structure. Injiory due to frostbite may range fron superficial redness of the skin, slight numbness and blisters, to the ctetruction of blood flew (ischemia), blood clots (thrcmbosis) or skin discoloration due to insufficient oxygen in the blood (cyanosis). Frostbite may occur if the skin ff»no<; into contact with objects whose surface tenperature is below freezing, such as TT'p^aT handles. Tresnc±i foot is caused by ccntinucus exposure to cold ooobined with persistent daitpness or immersion in water. Injxzries in this case include permanent tissue damage due to oxygen deficiency, damage to capillary wcLUs, severe pain, blistering, tissue death and xiLceration. AdditioneLLly, cold exposures may either induce or intensify vasculeir abnormalities. These include chilblain (a swelling or sore), Raynaud's disease, acrocyanosis (blaiins of hands and feet) and thronboangiitis (inflamnation of the innermost walls of blood vessels with acocnpanying clot formation). Workers suffering fron these ailments should take particular precautions to avoid chilling.

Hypothermia damages both the body's internal temperature mechanisms g (hypothalanus) and the peripheral mechanisms to prevent heat loss (vasooonstrictian and perspiration). These effects may last \jp to three ^ years. o •' NJ

00 • o B. Tngalpippnt:

# If hypothermia occurs, certain first aid procedures can mean the difference betfcseen life and death for the victim. These include the follcwing (as a general rule, treat all injuries in the order of their importance to preserving life):

For Hypothermia:

1. Give artificial respiration and stop any bleeding, if necessary.

2. Bring the victim into a warm roan or shelter as quickly as possible.

3. If the victim cannot be moved (spinal injury, etc.) carefully place newspE^^ers, blankets or sane other insulation betMeen him and the ground.

4. Remove all wet clothing.

5. Provide an external heat source, for the body cannot generate its own heat. Vftrap the victim in prewarmed blankets, place him or her in the liner of a portable hypothermia treatment unit, put the torso (not the extranities) into a tub of warm water or use body-to-body ccntact to rewarm the body core. These measures will slowly reopen the peripheral circulation so as to minimize the possibility of after^-shock or after-drop (the n flowing of cooled, stagnated blood ftrxn the lints to the heart), whicii may cavise ventricular fibrillation, carrtjac arrest or death.

6. Do not allcw the victim to sle^.

7. Give warm, sweet drinks — no alcohol or pain relievers.

8. Ke^ the victim still. Do not try to walk.

9. [to not rtib ntmia skin.

10. Get medical help as soon as possible.

For Frostbite:

1. Wrap the victim in woolen cloth and Jceep dry until he or she can be brou^it inside. w). 2. Do not rub, chafe or manipulate frozen parts.

3. Bring the victim indoors. o o NJ

O (-• m 00 4. Place the victim in warm water (102* to 105*F) and make sure it remains warm. Test the water by pouring it on the inner surface of your forearm. Never thaw affected parts if the • victim has to go back out into the cold. The affected area may be refrozen.

5. £o not \:se hot water bottles or a heat lanp, and do not place the victim near a hot stove.

6. Do not allow the victim to walk if his or her feet are affected.

7. Have the victim gently exercise the ciffected parts once they are thawed.

8. Seek medical aid for thawing of sericus frostbite, hprarrse the pain will be intense and ^-igpaip damage will be extensive.

03 • NJ AFRNinX B HEAT SUSESS

Effects of Heat Stress

If the body's physiologicaLL processes fail to maintain a normal body tenperature because of excessive heat, a number of physiccil reactions can occur ranging fron mild (such as fatigue, irritability, anxiety, and decreased concentration, dexterity, movesnent) to fatal. Standard reference books should be consulted for specific treatment.

Pfeat Related Problems That May Be Encountered Are:

Pfeat_Basb: Caused by continucus exposure to heat and humid ciir and aggravated by chzifing clothes. Decreases ability to tolerate heat as well as being a nuisance.

Heat Cramps; Heat cramps iisually affect people who work in hot enviromneaits and perspire a great deal. Loss of salt from the body causes very painful crviiniw of the leg and abdcsninal muscles. Heat cranps may adso result from drinking iced water or other drinks either too quickly or in too large a quantity. The synptans of heat cxaiups are as follows:

o MLiscle cramps in legs and abdomen

o Pain accompanying cranps

o Faintness • o Profuse perspiration

To provide emergency care for heat cranps, remove the patient to a cool place. Give him sips of liquids such as "Gatorade" or its equivalent. Apply maraal pressure to the cramped muscle. Remove the patient to a hospital if there is any indication of a more serious prcblem.

Heat Exhaustion

Heat exhaustion occurs in individuals working in hot environments; this disorder may be as.sociated with heat craaps. It is brou^it about by the pooling of blood in the vessels of the skin. TbB heat is tran^xsrted froa the interior of the body to the surface by the blood. The skin vessels bprmiB rJiiai-oH and a large amount of blood is pooled in the skin. This condition, plus the blood pooled in the lower extremities when in an upright position, may lead to an iiadequate return of blood to the heart and eventually to physicaLL collapse. The synptans of heat exhaustion are as follows:

o Weak pulse ^

o Rapid and usuaiUy shallow breathing <=> NJ o Generalized weakr^ss o Pale, clansny skin oo o . Profuse perspiration

o Dizziness

o Unconsciousness

o Appearance of having fainted (the patient responds to the same treatment administered in cases of fainting)

To provide eanergency care of heat exhaustion, remove the patient to a cool place and resnove as much clothing as possible. Administer cool water, "Gatorade" or its equivalent. It is a good idea to dilute each part of Gatorade with one or two parts of water. If possible, fan the patient continually to remove heat by convection, but do not allor/ chilling or overcooling. Treat the patient for shock, and raoaove him to a medical facility if there is any indication of a more serious problem.

Heat Stroke

Heat stroke is a profound disturbance of the heat-regulating mechanism, associated with high fever and collapse. Sometimes this condition results in convulsions, unconsciousness and even death. Direct exposure to sun, poor air circulation, poor physiccLL condition, and advanced age (over forty) bear directly on the tendency to heat stroke. It is a serious threat to life and carries a twenty percent mortality rate. Alcoholics are extremely susceptible because of reduced fitness and the water losing (diuretic) effects of alcohol. The synptans of heat stroke are as follows:

o Sudden onset

o Dry, hot and flushed skin

o Dilated pupils

o Early loss of consciousness

o Full and fast pulse

o Breathing deep at first, later shallow and even almost absent

o MUscle twitching, growing into convulsions

o Body tenperature reaching 105 to 106 degrees or hi^ier

When providing emergency care for heat stroke, resnesnber that this is a true eanergency. Transportation to a mpdical facility should not be delayed. Remove the patient to a cool enviranment if possible, and remove as nuch ^ clothing as possible. Assure an cpen airway. Reduce body tenperature ^ pronptly by dousing the body with water, or preferably by wrapping in a wet sheet. If cold packs are available place them under the arms, arcund the o neck, at the ankles, or any place where blood vessels that lie close to the ^ skin can be cooled. Protect the patient frcm injury during conwilsions, e^aecially fron tongue biting. o M 00 >;^ Heat Stress Monitoring:

All supervisors should ensure that their personnel are briefed on the haizards, synptans, and treatment of heat related prctilems.

For monitoring the body's recuperative ability to excess heat, one or more of the following techniques should be used as a screening mechanism. Monitoring of personnel wearing impervious clothing should coanence when the ambient tenperature is 70'F or above. Frequency of monitoring should increase as the antoient tenperature increases or as slow recovery rates are indicated. When taiperatures exceed 85'F, workers should be monitored for heat stress after every work period.

In a recent American Industrial Hvuiene Association JOUCTCLL article 48(5) 458- 463 (1987) Paull and Rosenthal reported that iapervious clothing (such as Sararax) acts to "produce increased level of envircnmental heat stress ccnparable to adding 11*F-20*F Wet Bulb Globe Tenperature." This should be taken into account when developing worVrest regimens.

a) Heart rate (HR) should be measured by the radial pulse for 30 seconds as early as possible in the resting period. The HR at the beginning of the rest period should net exceed 110 beats per minute. If the HR is higher, the next work period should be shortened by 10 minutes (or 33%), while the length of the rest period stays the same. If the pulse rate is 100 beats per minute at the beginning of the next rest period, the following work cycle should be shortened by 33%

• b) Body tenperature should be measured oradly with a clinical thermoneter as early as possible in the resting period. Oral tenperature (OT) at the beginning of the rest period should not exceed 99*F. If it does, the next work period should be shortened by 10 minutes (or 33%), while the length of the rest period stays the same. However, if the CfH exceeds 99.7''F at the beginning of the next period, the follcwing work cycle should be further shortened by 33%. or should be measured again at the end of the rest period to make sure that it has dropped below 99'F.

c) Body water loss (BWL) due to sweating should be measured by weic^iing the woricer in the morning and in the evening. The clothing worn should be similar at both weighings; preferably the workers should be nude. The scale should be accurate to plus or minus 1/4 lb. BHL should not exceed 1.5% of the total body weight. If it does, the worker should be instrtacted to increase his dzdly intake of fluids by the weight lost. Ideally, body fluids should be maintained at a ooTstant level during the work day. This requires r^lacement of salt lost in sweat as well. w d) Good hygienic standards nust be madntcdned by frequent diange of ^ clothing and daily showering. Clothing should be permitted to dry during rest periods. Persons who notice skin problems should oo imnediately consult medical personnel. NJ

O 00 PiEAT STRESS PREVEOTIC^

Proper training and preventive measures will help avert serious illness and • loss of work productivity. Preventing heat stress is particularly important because once someone suffers froa heat stroke or heat exhaustion, that person may be predisposed to additional heat injuries. To avoid heat stress, management should take the following steps:

o Adjust work schedules:

Modify work/rest schedules according to monitoring regLiirements.

Mandate work slowdowns as needed.

Rotate personnel: alternate jcb functions to minimize overs tress or overexertion at one task.

Add additional personnel to work teams.

Perform work during cooler hours of the day if possible or at night if adequate li<^ting can be provided.

o Provide shelter (air conditioned, if possible) or shaded areas to protect personnel during rest periods.

o Maintain workers' body fluids at normal levels. Tliis is necessary to ensure that the f^rdlovascular system functions adequately. Daily fluid intake must approximately equsLl the aiiraint of water lost in sweat, i.e., 8 fluid ounces (0.23 liters) of water must be ingested for approximately every 8 ounces (0.23 kg) of weight lost. The normal thirst mechanism is not sensitive enough to ensure that enough water will be drunk to replace lost sweat [14]. When heavy sweating occurs, encourage the worJcer to drink more. The follcwing strategies may be useful:

Maintain water tenperature at 50* to 60'F (10* to 15.6*C).

Provide qmn disposable cups that hold about 4 ounces (0.1 liter).

Have workers drink 16 ounces (0.5 liters) of fluid (preferably water or dilute drinks) before beginning work.

Urge workers to drink a cup or two every 15 to 20 minutes, or at each monitoring break. A total of 1 to 1.6 gallons (4 to 6 liters) of fluid per day are reoanmended, but more may be necessary to maintain body wei^t. » Wei^ workers before and after work to determine if fluid replacement is adequate. o o NJ

00 o Encourage workers to maintain an optimal level of physical fitness:

Where indicated, acclimatize workers to site work conditions: tenperature, protective clothing, and workload.

Urge workers to maintain norma] weight levels.

o Provide cooling devices to aid natural hcctf heat exchange during prolcnged work to severe heat exposure. Coaling devices include:

Field shcwers or hose-down areas to reduce body tenperatttre ancVor to cool off protective clothing.

Cooling jackets, vests, or suites (see T^ale 8-5 for details).

o Train workers to recognize and treat heat stress. As part of training, identify the signs and synptans of heat stress.

PREPARED BY

EBASCO SERVICES INCORPORATED

UNDER EPA CONTRACT NO. 68-01-7250

» ^ o o NJ

O to M lO SUBCONTR,ACT0R'S MEDICAL SURVEILTANCE PROGRAM A Medical Surveillance Program has been established as part of the REM III Health and Safety Plan. It applies to ' all Ebasco, Company and other REM III subcontractor personnel. The Medical Surveillance Program is designed to be the "second line of defense" to support and monitor the effectiveness of the primary H&S goal of controlling worker exposure to toxic materials. Worker exposure to toxic materials is controlled' through the establishment and implementation of the HASP. The objectives of the Medical Surveillance Program therefore are to medically qualify individuals to work at REM III sites and monitor medical indices to quickly respond to health problems and monitor the effectiveness of exposure controls in site HASPs. The Medical Surveillance Program has two essential components: routine medical monitoring for designated REM III employees and emergency medical care and treatment. The program described here has been designed to be consistent with currently recommended medical surveillance programs and has resulted from input provided by a variety of health and medical professionals. The REM III MC has prime policy and oversight responsibilities to ensure the medical aspects of the program are working effectively. The examining physician, however, controls the final medical exam content and is responsible for ensuring that adequate testing is performed to determine an individual's suitability to perform his job at a REM III site. 1.0 MEDICAL MONITORING Routine medical monitoring shall consist of a basic medical examination to establish the individual's general state of health, baseline physiological data, suitability for assignment and suitability to utilize respiratory protective equipment. This basic examination shall be obtained before assignment to a REM III site and shall be repeated at least once each year as long as assignment to REM III sites continues. If REM III personnel have had an equivalent medical examination within a year prior to REM III assignment, this examination can be substituted for the preassignment physical examination. Medical monitoring exams shall conform, at a minimum, to the guidelines contained in this section of the REM III Health and Safety Plan and shall be given to all Ebasco and subcontractor w personnel who work on REM III sites. o o NJ

O NJ N) O Special medical tests may also be required based on potential exposure to specific toxic substances in the work environment, by the medical history or condition of the person examined, or as required by Federal, State or local Health- and Safety regulations. The examining physician(s) shall determine what special medical tests are appropriate and the manner in which these exams will be conducted. 1.2 EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE The HASP addresses emergency medical care and treatment of REM III personnel, including possible exposures to toxic substances and injuries due to accidents or physical problems. Medical provisions to be included in a site specific HASP are defined in the H&S Program Guidelines. During preparation of the HASP, the medical treatment facility's ability to provide care and treatment of personnel working at a REM III location should be determined. If this facility lacks adequate treatment capabilities, arrangements should be made for alternate health care services. A map, along with clear written directions for locating the facility, shall be included in the plan. The name, address, and telephone number shall be conspicuously posted in the site support zone. The SM is responsible to ensure that any site employee requesting or requiring medical care due to an injury or illness, or exhibiting erratic or uncharacteristic behavior, shall receive emergency medical care. REM III personnel requiring emergency medical treatment will not be allowed back onsite without a written physician release.

1.3 CONFIDENTIALITY The information contained in the employee medical files will be open to review and usage by the REM III Medical Consultant (MC) , specifically authorized HiS personnel, examining and consulting physician(s) and physician staff. Each employer must maintain documentation which includes the original medical records, Physicians' Statement, Disclosure Agreements, and requests for copies of the medical records for all employees and applicants participating in the Medical Surveillance Program. These records must be maintained in a locked filing cabinet and comply with applicable regulations. ^o Access will be limited to the employer/custodian and/or duly ^ appointed designee. Custodians will treat these records in a confidential manner. Upon death, retirement, resignation or o other termination of service, the records will be retained in o'" the appropriate company personnel file. These records usually NJ must be maintained for 3 0 years after termination pursuant to o 29 CFR 1910.20. K OSHA regulations relating to record retention, such as those found in 29 CFR 1910.20, shall be followed when applicable. 1.4 MEDICAL RECORDS INFORMATION The purpose for requesting personnel information indicated in the accompanying medical/occupational history questionnaire is to provide the examining and consulting physician(s), employers and Health and Safety personnel information on the general health status and establish the medical/occupational history of an individual. These forms will be completed by all designated personnel prior to their exam and will be kept as part of the medical record. The medical records will document the employee's/applicant's health status to determine suitability for assignment and ability to wear a respirator, provide an account of work/toxic exposure history for specific REM III sites or other sites at which the employee was assigned and of the time spent at these locations. The information contained in the medical record will also be used to insure adequate medical surveillance. It may also be used to plan, implement and evaluate occupational and preventative health programs, conduct epidemiologic research, and compile statistical data. 1.5 DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT All personnel to be included in the REM III Medical Surveillance Program will be required to complete the Disclosure Agreement indicated in Exhibit 3-1. 1.6 PROGRAM PARTICIPATION The Medical Surveillance Program is designed for personnel whose work may involve exposure to toxic materials at a REM III work location. Those employees who must participate in the Medical Surveillance Program generally include all REM III personnel required to work at REM III sites. All employees designated to participate in this program are retjuired to do so as a condition of assignment to a REM III site.

1.7 MEDICAL QUALIFIERS AND DISQUALIFIERS 50 The examining physician should consider the examinee in totality ^ for suitability for hazardous waste site employment. Medical characteristics of concern for assigning personnel to site g investigations include the following: NJ

O NJ NJ NJ 1. Vision. Visual acuity of less than 20/40 (Snellen) in one eye and 20/20 in the other, with or without corrective lenses. Binocular vision is required. Near vision must be sufficient to read, without strain, . printed material the size of typewritten characters. Normal depth perception, accommodation and field of vision are required, as is the ability to distinguish basic colors. 2. Hearing. Hearing loss in either ear of "more than 30 decibels in the 500, 1,000 or 2,000 Hz range without a hearing aid. 3. Speech. Diseases or conditions resulting in indistinct speech. 4. Olfactory Sense. Abnormalities in the sense of smell. 5. Respiratory System. Any chronic disease or condition affecting the respiratory system that would adversely affect the performances of duties (e.g., conditions that result in pulmonary dysfunction, such as shortness of breath or painful respiration). 6. Cardiovascular System. Organic heart disease (compensated or hot), hypertension with repeated readings that exceed 150 systolic and 90 diastolic without medication or symptomatic peripheral vascular disease and severe varicose veins. 7. Gastrointestinal System. Chronic symptomatic disabling diseases or conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. 8. Endocrine System. An uncontrolled systemic metabolic disease such as diabetes or gout. 9. Genitourinary Disorders. Chronic symptomatic disease or conditions of the genitourinary tract. 10. Extremities and Spine. Any deformity or disease that limits the range of motion or dexterity or is severe enough to affect adversely the full performance of duties. 11. Nervous System. Any neurological disorder with resulting decreased neurological or muscular function. SJ Applicants must possess emotional and mental stability. Applicants with a history of epilepsy or convulsive disorders must have been seizure-free for the past two oo years without medication. ^ o N> 4 w 12. Miscellaneous. Any other disease or condition that interferes with the full performance of duties. The examining and/or consulting physicians will review results of medical examinations to determine whether applicants and employees are medically qualified to perform the duties expected. Conflicts will be resolved by the MC. 1.8 PHYSICIAN SELECTION For the purpose of this program the quality of the health monitoring is very dependent on the quality of the medical examination. Therefore, the employer shall hire a qualified physician, preferably an individual board certified in occupational medicine or internal medicine, licensed in the State where he/she practices medicine. A physician who belongs to any one of the following is preferred: American Board of Preventive Medicine, American Occupational Medical Association or a local occupational health society. Candidate names of physicians may be obtained from the American Occupational Medicine Association, (2340 South Arlington Heights Road, Suite 400, Arlington Heights Illinois, 60005, 312/228-6850), American Board of Preventive Medicine (Wright State University, School of Medicine, P. 0. Box 927, Dayton, Ohio, 45410, 513/278-6915) or the Directory of Medical Specialists which can -be found in a public library. The important requirements are that the physician is capable and equipped to conduct a thorough physical examination to determine if the employee is suitable to perform assigned duties and able to withstand the stress associated with wearing a respirator. It is also important that the physician demonstrates a high interest in the program. A local physician is in the best position to provide a continuity of service over the years, evaluate individual health exam results, and to handle referrals when non-job-related conditions are detected. 1.9 LABORATORY SERVICE Diagnostic tests shall be performed by a hospital or clinical laboratory that is competent and licensed, participates in a proficiency testing program(s) and maintains a rigorous (juality assurance program. A number of large interstate laboratories ^ are available providing satisfactory service, rapid turnaround ^ and reasonable fees. Since these are large laboratories, they can provide, at a reasonable additional cost, special tests that ^ may be essential for those employees who have been exposed to o specific chemicals. The examining physician will be responsible for requesting laboratory analysis consistent with the ^ determination and protection of the individual's health. [^ 1.10 SCHEDULE OF EXAMINATIONS All participants in the Medical Surveillance Program will have, at minimum, a baseline, preassignment physical examination with subsequent annual re-examinations. Termination exams should be given to REM III personnel upon approval of the HSM. Other examinations and medical tests may be performed if specific conditions, policies or procedures warrant.

Equivalent physical examinations taken within one year prior to assignment to a REM III site may substitute ,for the preassignment physical examination. The examining physician shall approve this substitution. 1.11 EXAMINATION CONTENT The preassignment and annual examinations will include an updated medical and occupational history review, a screening physical examination, blood and urine laboratory tests, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram, pulmonary function test, audiometry and visual acuity testing. The annual examination is essentially the same as the baseline examination, however, it may be supplemented by other procedures and medical tests as warranted by potential exposure hazards, the individual's medical history, results of the physical examination or special stresses. All examinations and other medical tests must include the Physician's Statement found as Exhibit 3-3 in this Plan.

1.11.1 Medical and Occupational History The medical and occupational history will be obtained by having each participant fill out a confidential health questionnaire before seeing an examining physician. The confidential health questionnaire (Exhibit 3-2) shall be annually updated. Additional forms can be used, if necessary, upon approval of the examining physician. The questionnaire becomes an important part of the health monitoring program medical records.

1.11.2 Disclosure Agreement Each participant will be required to annually read and sign the Disclosure Agreement (see Exhibit 3-1) .

The original of this agreement will be made part of the » employee's medical records, and a copy will be provided to the ^ employee or his designee by the employee's company. Written requests for release of information made by the employee will o also be made a permanent part of the record. NJ o N) NJ 1.11.3 Diagnostic Tests Each individual will receive a basic panel of blood count and chemistry and urinalysis. The following tests are considered to be minimum for baseline and/or routine (annual) monitoring: piood Tests o Complete blood count, differential cell count and platelet count o Hemoglobin and/or hematocrit o Methemoglobin o Albumin, globulin and total protein o Total bilirubin o Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SCOT) o Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) o Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) o Alkaline phosphatase o Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGPT) (recommended) o o Phosphorous o Uric acid o Creatinine o Urea nitrogen o Cholesterol o Glucose Urinalysis o Color and character o Specific gravity o pH o Microscopic examination o Protein o Acetone o Glucose o Blood in urine 1.11.4 X-Rays A baseline chest X-ray shall be at least a standard 14 x 17 inch P-A (posterior-anterior) exposure. Lateral exposure is recommended. The X-ray will be obtained by the examining physician, a local radiologist or a local hospital. The film will be read or reviewed by a board-certified radiologist or etjually competent medical specialist. Subsequent periodic chest X-rays will be performed only when clinically indicated, and not as a routine measure. »

o o NJ

O NJ N> 1.11.5 Electrocardiogram An electrocardiogram shall be included in the baseline examination. It will be a standard, 12-lead, resting type as a minimum and interpreted by an internist or cardiologist. A stress test may be administered at the discretion of the physician if medically indicated. Subsequent electrocardiograms shall be obtained annually. 1.11-6 Pulmonary Function Pulmonary function testing shall be included in the preassignment and annual examinations. The exam consists of simple tests of lung ventilation to measure forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVl) and forced vital capacity (FVC). Other factors such as FEF, MMEFR, MW, FRC, RV, and TLC may be included. 1.11.7 Audiometry Audiometry is required as part of the baseline examination. Annual retests are required for personnel subject to high noise exposures or required to wear hearing protection on their jobs. Pure tone audiometers using frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 6000 Hertz tone and sound shielded booths are recommended. Tests are to be administered by qualified # technicians. 1.11.8 visual Acuity Visual acuity, both near and far, and color vision are to be tested as a part of baseline and annual examinations. 1.11.9 Other Tests The need for other medical tests will be determined by the physician after reviewing the confidential health questionnaire and materials of exposure in the work environment, and after consulting with supervisors, medical monitoring coordinators. Health_ and Safety personnel and the REM III medical consultant. Provision will be made for repeating tests when necessary.

1.12 NEGATIVE PHYSICIAN'S STATEMENT 53 If the examining physician finds that an examinee is not "^ (jualified for REM III site work the physician shall so indicate ^ and explain on the Physician's statement form (Exhibit 3-3). <=>

o tsJ NJ This report shall be promptly returned to the employer together with details of the work-related findings and the basis for the physician's opinion. Any conditions, findings or diagnoses which do not affect the individual's status of employment shall be revealed only to the employee or his designee.

SOBCHAPIfR 9 - SEAT.TW; OF RBftNDCMED WEIIS

7:9-9.1 General provisions

(a) The filling and sealing of an abandoned well in accordance with the following specifications will be accepted as in ccnpliance with the provisions of NJSA 58:4A-4.1. A well may not be sealed by a proposed alternate method unless first approved in writing by the Bureau of Water Control of the Division of Water Resources.

(b) No person, partnership or corporation may engage in the sealing of a well jci unless his qualifications and experience have been approved in writing by the ^ Bureau of Water Control of the Division. Depending i^xsn the qualifications of a contractor, the Bureau may limit a contractor to the sealing of only certain o types of wells (e.g. rock wells, single cased wells and the like.) All ^ sealing operations shall be under the immediate supervision of a person sing a valid New Jersey Well Drillers Licence. o

OJ (c) The use of dynamite in well-sealing cperations is expressly prohibited unless authCrized in writing by the a:reau of Water Control of the Division. (d) The follcwing types of wells may not be sealed until the contractor has submitted a drawing with description of method proposed, which must be approved in writing by the Bureau of Water Control of the Division: 1. Wells drilled in areas where is imminent (e.g. beach communities) ; 2. Wells which have already been affected by saltwater intrusion or any other contaminants; 3. Gravel-packed wells deriving water frcm more than one aquifer. The aquifers of the State are those water bearing formations or beds recognized as such by the Division. Sane formations may contain more than one aquifer. If in doubt, contact the Bureau of Water Control of the Division. (e) The contractor shall return to the well no sooner than 24 hours after sealing to adlcM time for settlement. The remeLining space at the tcp of the well shall then be filled with concrete and the top formed so as to create a concrete slab at least six inches thick above the tcp of the casing with a diameter at least two feet greater that the outer casing. (f) After well has been sealed, a detailed description of the well and method used for sealing sttall be submitted to the Bureau of Water Control of the Division. 7:9-9.2 Rock Wells (a) The regulations oonoeming single cased rock wells are: 1. Clear well of punp, pipe and all obstructions. 2. That portion of a well which is uncased in rock shall be filled only with sterilized coarse gravel or cnashed stone to within 10 to 20 feet of the bottcxa of the casing and sealed off with an impermeable plug of sterilized packing materials. The open hole above the plug and the space within the casing shall then be sealed with corxarete, cement grout or neat cement which shall be introduced through a pipe discharging at the bottcm of the space to be filled in order to prevent dilution of the sealing material. 3. If geologic and hydrologic ccmditions make it xonadvisable to use gravel or in the uncased hole, the entire well shzLLl be sealed as described above in paragraph two (2). (b) The regulations conceiniing double or multiple cased rock wells are: w 1. Clear well of punp, pipe and all other obstructions and vhere ;^ possible remove cLLl inner casings. 2. Procedure then shall be as under Section (a) above except that any o remaining casing shall be sealed as in a single-cased well. o N) O N) in 7:9-9.3 Sand and Gravel Wells

(a) The regulations concerning single-cased sand and gravel wells are:

1. Clear well of pump, pipe and all obstructions, i. Where only one aquifer has been screened the screen shall be filled with sterilized sand or gravel which shall not extend above the top of the screen. ii. Where two or more aquifers have been screened only the lower­ most screen shall be filled with sterilized sand or gravel. The remciinder of the well and all upper screens be sealed as described below in paragraphs 2 and 3. 2. The casing and screen (where not filled with sand or gravel as described in paragraph 1 above) shall be filled with a sterilized clay slurry weighing not less than 14 pounds per gallon, cement grout, or neat cement. Concrete may not be used in a screened interval but may be used within the casing. All of the above- mentioned sealing materials shall be introduced through a pipe discharging at the bottom of the space to be filled in order to prevent dilution of the sealing material. 3. If preferred in large diameter wells, casing and upper screens may be filled from the top with dry clay free of lumps larger that 3/4 inch diameter, in lifts not higher than five feet, and each lift tamped with the proper drilling tool.

(b) The rules conceming double or multiple cased wells with no gravel pack, or gravel packed in the first water bearing formation only are:

# 1. Clear well of pump, pipe and all other obstructions and remove as much inner casing as possible. 2. The screened portion shall be filled with sterilized sand or gravel which shall not extend above the top of the screen. 3. All remaining casing and annular spaces shall be filled as described in Section (a) 2.

(c) The rules concerning double or multiple cased wells with gravel packed, screened belcw the first water bearing formation but tapping only one aquifer are:

1. Clear well of punp, pipe and all other obstnictions and remove as much inner casing as possible. 2. If gravel pack within annular space(s) between casing(s) does not extend frcm the screened formation to the acjiif er above and is at least 20 feet below the next aquifer, the contractor may fill the screen with sand or gravel and seal the well arxi annular space as described in Section (a) 2. 3. If gravel within annular space(s) extends to within 20 feet of the w next water bearing formation, wither of the two methods described below are acceptable: o i. Place packer at the tcp of the screen, and inject a nontoxic ^ chemical grout under pressure into the screen and surrcunding gravel pack below the packer and at least 20 feet vertically o into the gravel pack occupying the annular space(s) between ^ casings. If preferred, this section may be filled with en sterilized coarse gravel prior to grout injection in order to reduce the amount of grout needed. After the grout has set, the remaining casing and annuiaur space (s) shall be scaled cis described in Section (a) 2. ii. If preferred the screen and casing may be filled with sterilized sand t a point between the screen and next overlying aquifer but at least 20 feet below the next aquifer. The inner casing(s) then shall be perforated or ripped at this point, a packer inserted, and ncntoxic chemical grout injected under- pressure below the packer into the surrcunding gravel pack so that the annular space (s) between casings is sealed for a vertical Hi

7:9-9.4 Test Wells

(a) An unused test well shall be considered an ctbanrirmRd well and shall be seeiled as described in the previous sections unless it is to be used for cbservation purposed in which case permission must be granted in writing by the Bureau of Water Control of the Division.

(b) If the casing of a test well is to be removed, the open hole shall be filled with a sterilized clay slurry weighing not less than 14 pound per galLlon, cement grout, neat cement or concrete, which shall be iiitruduoed frcm the bottom of the space to be filled. In unconsolidated formations, the sealing material shall be introduced into the bottcm of the hole while the casing is pulled so as to prevent the uncased hole frcm . The producing zone, or uncased hole in a rock well shall be filled with sterilized gravel or crushed stone. However, in rock wells where zcnes of poor-quality water were encountered or where geologic and hydrologic conditions make it imadvisable to use gravel or crushed stone, the entire hole shall be sealed.
