2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Initial Site Assessment Report summarizes the initial response and abatement of petroleum hydrocarbons and metal impacts in soil for the suspected historical release from a wash basin (wash pit) at the Howard Property (Former Howard’s Phillips 66 Service Station), located at 2435 N NC Highway 16 Business, Denver, North Carolina (Site). CES Group Engineers, LLP (CES) has been authorized to perform initial response and abatement activities by North State Howard, LLC (North State Howard), represented by David Dupree and Shane Seagle, Managing Members. On November 22, 2017, during demolition related activities associated with the removal of one (1) hydraulic lift and one (1) wash pit located within the service bays of a former gasoline service station, soil samples were screened in the field with a MiniRAE 2000 photoionization detector (PID) and subsequently analyzed for selected petroleum hydrocarbon and metal constituents. Petroleum hydrocarbons, total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) diesel range organics (DRO), and metals, lead and chromium, were reported above the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) Initial Action Level for Contamination and the Soil-to-Water Maximum Contaminant Concentration (MSCC), respectively. Upon receipt of laboratory analytical reports indicating that a TPH-DRO concentration of 4,200 milligrams per kilograms (mg/kg) was reported from a soil sample (WP-1) collected from immediately below the removed wash pit, at a depth of approximately one-foot (1) below grade, on November 22, 2017, a series of excavation and removal events were conducted until January 4, 2018, when laboratory analysis of post-excavation soil samples for TPH-DRO and lead were reported below their respective soil standards. As further discussed in Section 4.2 of this report, reported concentrations of chromium from excavated areas were consistent with concentration levels reported from an onsite test pit, located approximately 45 feet from the excavation area. During the series of soil excavation and removal events conducted between November 22, 2017 and January 4, 2018, a total of twenty (20) soil samples were screened in the field with a PID, a total of eighteen (18) soil samples, including one (1) soil sample from the test pit, were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis, and a total of approximately 299.32-tons of soils were transported under non-hazardous waste manifests to CMS Landfill, Concord, NC for landfill disposal. PID readings ranged from non-detect (ND) to 113.0 parts per million per volume (ppmv). Maximum soil concentration levels were reported at 4,200 mg/kg for TPH-DRO, 420 mg/kg for lead, and 61 mg/kg for chromium. Tables B-3 summarizes soil laboratory analytical results. Groundwater, bedrock, and/or free product was not encountered during soil excavation and removal activities, which were completed to a maximum depth of approximate nine (9) feet below grade. No active water supply wells were identified within 1,500 feet of the Site. Figure 1 depicts the 1,500-feet radius and potential receptor map. Based on post-excavation soil sample concentration levels for TPH-DRO and lead reported below their respective soil standards, chromium concentrations reported consistent with background levels, and since groundwater, bedrock and/or free product was not encountered within the excavated area, it is recommended that no further remedial actions are required at this time. This report provides data necessary to fulfill an Initial Site Assessment Report, in accordance with, and formatted in conformance with Appendix A of the Guidelines for Initial Response and Abatement, Assessment, and Corrective Action for Non-UST Releases of Petroleum, effective July 1, 2012.

3.0 SITE HISTORY AND CHARACTERIZATION
The subject site consists of one (1) parcel, identified as Lincoln County Parcel Identification No. 34124, situated along the west line of N NC Highway 16 Business, as shown on Figure 2. A retail petroleum service station building (identified as Howard’s Phillips 66) with two (2) automotive service bays, that sold gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel, and reportedly performed automotive service and repairs, was located on the eastern central portion of the subject property, from approximately 1965 until November 2017. One (1) underground hydraulic lift and one (1) underground wash basin (wash pit) were located inside the two (2) automotive service bays. A single family residential structure, reportedly constructed in 1935, and located on the southwestern portion of the subject property, currently remains in place. The retail sale of gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel were reportedly conducted at the site from approximately 1964 until December 1999. The gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel underground storage tank (UST) systems, reportedly consisting of three (3) 6,000-gallon gasoline USTs, one (1) 3,000-gallon kerosene UST, and one (1) 10,000-gallon diesel UST and associated dispensers, were removed from the site in early December 1999. On January 19, 2000, the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), issued a letter to Howard’s 66 indicating that based on laboratory analysis from seventeen (17) soil samples collected during the closure of five underground storage tank systems, no further action is required at this time. In July 2017, the subject property was sold in a property transaction from Harold A. Howard, Jr., of Denver, NC, to North State Howard, LLC (North State), of Cornelius, NC. In November 2017, as part of initial site redevelopment activities being performed by North State, the retail petroleum service station building and restrooms were demolished, and the underground hydraulic lift and wash pit were subsequently removed from the subsurface. The former retail petroleum service station building, restrooms, and the existing single-family residential structure were reportedly served by the Lincoln County public water distribution system and sanitary sewer system.

3.2 UST Information
The retail sale of gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel were reportedly conducted at the site from approximately 1964 until December 1999. The gasoline, kerosene, and diesel fuel UST systems, reportedly consisting of three (3) 6,000-gallon gasoline USTs, one (1) 3,000-gallon kerosene UST, and one (1) 10,000-gallon diesel UST and associated dispensers, were removed from the site in early December 1999. Procedural details of the 1999 closure were summarized to the NCDENR in a January 13, 2000 tank closure report. On January 19, 2000, NCDENR issued a letter to Howard’s 66 indicating that based on laboratory analysis from seventeen (17) soil samples collected during the closure of five underground storage tank systems, no further action is required at this time. Approximate orientation of the former USTs, as derived from other sources, are depicted on Figure 2. Currently available information concerning the previously removed USTs at the site is summarized in Tables B-1 and B-2.
3.3 Release Description
Soil contamination was discovered during demolition related activities associated with the removal of the underground hydraulic lift and wash pit located inside the former automotive service bays. Following receipt of laboratory analytical data for collected soil samples on November 22, 2017, indicating TPH levels equal to or greater than the Initial Action Level for Contamination of one-hundred (100) mg/kg, a release was reported to Mr. Daniel Graham, NCDEQ, on December 4, 2017. Specifically, a soil sample (WP-1) collected from immediately below the former wash pit, at a depth of approximately one (1) foot below grade, reported a TPH - DRO concentration of 4,200 mg/kg. Procedural details on the removal of the underground hydraulic lift and wash pit, field screening and laboratory analysis of collected soil samples, and subsequent over-excavation and removal of contaminated soils for offsite disposal are further discussed in Sections 4.0 and 5.0 of this report.
3.4 Site Characteristics
The subject real property, zoned for PD-R (Planned Development Residential) use, includes one parcel, with Lincoln County Parcel Identification Number 34124, occupying a total area of approximately ninety-one hundredths (0.91) acre. Prior to demolition and removal in November 2017, site improvements included an approximately two-thousand two-hundred and eighty-four (2,284) square feet, single story, slab-on-grade building housing the retail petroleum service station and automotive repair facility, built in 1965, and a forty (40) square feet restroom structure built in 1985, with asphalt paving, gravel-surfaced drives and parking areas, and appurtenances. Additionally, an approximately eight-hundred and sixty-eight (868) square foot single-family residential structure, built in 1935, currently remains on the western portion of the site. The retail petroleum service station building and automotive repair facility was formerly utilized by the previous property owner(s), members of the Howard family, until approximately December 1999, and the entire site is currently unoccupied and planned for future residential development. The site is situated in an unincorporated area of Lincoln County, situated along the west line of N NC Highway 16 Business, a two (2)-lane, asphalt surfaced, rural section roadway. The subject site
CES Project No. 7002.1117ED 6
January 31, 2018
is served by electrical and natural gas public utilities, as well as water distribution and sanitary sewer services provided by Lincoln County. The subject site is situated in an area of mixed commercial, agricultural and residential land use. Adjacent down-gradient land to the west of the site is an approximately fifty (50) acre tract that is currently undeveloped, with planned residential development in the future. The site location in relation to area land use is illustrated in Figures 1 and 2.
3.5 Receptor Information
Water Supply Wells: No active drinking water supply wells were identified within 1,000 feet of the subject site.
Public Water Supplies: No public water supplies were identified within 1,500 feet of the subject site. The Lincoln County public water distribution system is available at the site.
Surface Water: No surface water bodies were identified within 500 feet of the site.
Wellhead Protection Areas: Per the NCDEQ website, no wellhead protection areas are in Lincoln County.
Deep Aquifers in the Coastal Plain Physiographic Region: Not Applicable to the subject site.
Subsurface Structures: Underground utilities have been identified at and adjacent to the subject site. During the excavation and removal activities associated with the former hydraulic lift and wash pit, no underground utilities were identified within the excavated areas. Groundwater was not measured during this initial assessment and abatement action, with the exception of measuring groundwater from a presumably old monitoring well, located on the northeastern portion of the subject property, between the excavated area and N NC Highway 16 Business. On November 27, 2017, a depth to groundwater measurement from this well was recorded at 5.10 feet below ground surface. However, since construction details of this presumably old monitoring well were not available, and the well did not contain a locking j-plug on top of the PVC riser nor a protective cover, it is unknown if this measurement is representative of actual subsurface groundwater depths. As referenced in Section 2.0 of this report, groundwater was not encountered during soil excavation and removal activities, completed to a maximum depth of approximately nine (9) feet below grade. With the exception of the removed hydraulic lift, wash pit, and concrete structure, no other subsurface structures have been identified at the site.

4.0 INITIAL RESPONSE AND ABATEMENT ACTION
4.1 Initial Response and Abatement Action
During demolition related activities associated with the removal of the underground hydraulic lift and wash pit located inside the former automotive service bays on November 22, 2017, a PID reading of 113.0 ppmv was recorded from a soil sample (WP-1) collected from immediately below the removed wash pit, at a depth of approximately one (1) foot below grade. Based on this PID result, it was determined that activities associated with the over-excavation and removal of a limited amount of soils from the general vicinity of the former wash pit were warranted in an attempt to remove potentially contaminated soils from the subsurface. On November 22, 2017, soils from the area surrounding the former wash pit, an area approximately fifteen (15) feet by fifteen (15) feet to an approximate depth of four and a half (4.5) feet, were excavated, temporarily stockpiled onsite, and returned to the excavated area awaiting future offsite disposal, and a total of six (6) post-excavation soil samples were collected and submitted to Prism Laboratories, Inc. (Prism), of Charlotte, NC for laboratory analysis of TPH-DRO and TPH-gasoline range organics (GRO) by EPA Method 8105C, and lead and chromium by EPA Method 6010D. Prior to laboratory submittal, soil samples were screened in the field with a PID, which recorded readings ranging from ND to 113.0 ppmv, collected from soil sample WP-1. Additionally, on November 22, 2017, the hydraulic lift, located approximately seventeen (17) feet to the south of the former wash pit, was excavated and removed from the subsurface. During the removal of the hydraulic lift, the dimensions from the excavated area of the wash pit were temporarily extended to the hydraulic lift area, to a depth of approximately nine (9) feet below grade, and one (1) post-excavation soil sample was collected from immediately below the base of the hydraulic lift, and submitted to Prism for laboratory analysis of TPH-DRO. Prior to laboratory submittal, the one (1) soil sample was screened in the field with a PID and recorded a reading of ND. During soil excavation and removal activities on November 22, 2017, a drain pipe from immediately below the former wash pit was observed to extend approximately twenty (20) feet to the northeast where a subsurface concrete structure was observed. Due to time restraints on November 22, 2017, the extent of soil excavation was terminated on the southern side of this concrete structure, which extended the overall excavated area by approximately twelve (12) feet by six (6) feet, and it was determined that further exploration of this concrete structure would occur the week of November 27, 2017. Further evaluation of the drain pipe and concrete structure reported the drain pipe extending from the north side of the concrete structure towards, and underneath, N NC Highway 16 Business. Following receipt of laboratory analytical data for collected soil samples on November 22, 2017, indicating TPH levels equal to or greater than the Initial Action Level for Contamination of one-hundred (100) mg/kg, a release notification was reported to Mr. Daniel Graham, NCDEQ, on December 4, 2017. At this time, additional soil sampling and laboratory analysis requirements, and the planned continuation of over-excavation activities at the site, including the excavation of a test pit outside the area of concern, due to reported concentrations of lead and chromium, were discussed with Mr. Graham. Further procedural details of subsequent field screening, laboratory analysis, and over-excavation activities are further discussed in Section 5.0 of this report.

5.0 EXCAVATION OF CONTAMINATED SOIL
5.1 Source and Estimated Extent of Soil Contamination
The source of soil contamination encountered during activities conducted from November 22, 2017 through January 4, 2018 at the site, is believed to be related to the former wash pit located inside the service bay of the former retail petroleum and automotive repair facility. Based on laboratory analysis from post-excavation soil samples, as further discussed in Sections 5.2 and 5.3, the extent of soil contamination in relation to the former wash pit is estimated to be limited to the extents of the final excavated area.
5.2 Contaminated Soil Excavation and Removal
As previously discussed in Section 4.1, upon discovery of the wash pit drain pipe extending approximately twenty (20) feet to the northeast where a subsurface concrete structure was observed, and following receipt of laboratory analytical results from soil samples collected on November 22, and 27, 2017, reporting concentrations of TPH-DRO, lead and chromium above their applicable soil standards, the continuation of soil over-excavation activities were planned and communicated to Mr. Graham at NCDEQ on December 4, 2017. Moore & Seagle Construction, Inc. (Moore & Seagle) were contracted by North State to perform the soil excavation and removal activities. CES was contracted by North State to perform soil field screening, sampling for laboratory analysis, and required regulatory agency reporting during the soil excavation and removal activities. On December 19, and 21, 2017, the horizontal and vertical extents of the previous excavated areas were extended to an approximate area of twenty-five (25) feet by forty-five (45) feet to a depth of approximately seven (7) feet below grade, minus the northwest corner which encompassed an area of approximately eleven (11) feet by thirteen (13) feet, to facilitate the collection of additional soil samples for PID screening and laboratory analysis, and approximately 237.25-tons of soils from within this excavated area were live loaded onto trucks and transported under non-hazardous waste manifests to the CMS Landfill, in Concord, NC for landfill disposal. Additionally, on December 21, 2017, a small test pit was excavated to a depth of approximately three and a half (3.5) feet below grade, located approximately forty-five (45) feet to the southwest of the wash pit excavation area, to compare concentration levels of lead and chromium reported from outside the area of concern to concentration levels reported from the wash pit excavation area. Excavated soils from this test pit area were returned to the subsurface upon sample collection. On January 4, 2018, the horizontal and vertical extents of the eastern sidewall were extended by approximately ten (10) feet by fifteen (15) feet to an approximate depth of seven (7) feet below grade, to facilitate the collection of additional soil samples for PID screening and laboratory analysis, and approximately 62.07-tons of soil from within this additional excavated area were live loaded onto trucks and transported under non-hazardous waste manifests to the CMS Landfill, in Concord, NC for landfill disposal. During the soil excavation and removal events, soils were classified as a light-medium brown, fine- medium coarse silt with some clay. Groundwater, bedrock, and/or free product was not encountered within the excavated area, to a maximum depth of approximately nine (9) feet below grade.

personnel while onsite, is attached as Appendix A. Photographic documentation of the soil excavation and removal events are included in Appendix B. Figure 2 depicts the final excavated area, an irregular area approximately twenty-five (25) feet by forty-five (45) feet to a depth of approximately seven (7) feet below grade, with an extension of approximately ten (10) feet by fifteen (15) feet area on the eastern sidewall, minus the northwest corner which encompassed an area of approximately eleven (11) feet by thirteen (13) feet.
5.3 Post-Excavation Soil Sampling and Laboratory Analysis
During soil excavation and removal events conducted between November 22, 2017 and January 4, 2018, a total of eighteen (18) post-excavation soil samples were collected and submitted to Prism for laboratory analysis of TPH-DRO, TPH-GRO, lead and/or chromium. Additional soil samples were collected and analyzed for disposal facility parameters, including benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylenes (BTEX), RCRA Metals and TCLP Lead. On November 22, 2017, a total of seven (7) post-excavation soil samples were collected and submitted to Prism for laboratory analysis of TPH-DRO, TPH-GRO, lead and/or chromium. A review of soil analytical results from soil samples collected on November 22, 2017 reported the following concentrations above applicable soil standards:
• TPH-DRO from a soil sample collected from WP-1, with a concentration of 4,200 mg/kg, was reported above the Initial Action Level for Contamination; and
• Chromium from soil samples collected from WP-1 and WP-2, with a maximum concentration of 30 mg/kg, were reported above the MSCC.
A review of soil laboratory analytical results from the soil sample (Hyd-1) collected on November 22, 2017, from the base of the removed hydraulic lift, reported TPH-DRO concentrations below laboratory detection limits (BDL). On November 27, 2017, a total of two (2) post-excavation soil samples were collected and submitted to Prism for laboratory analysis of TPH-DRO, TPH-GRO, lead and/or chromium. A review of soil analytical results from soil samples collected on November 27, 2017 reported the following concentrations above applicable soil standards:
• TPH-DRO from a soil sample collected from WP-10, with a concentration of 630 mg/kg, was reported above the Initial Action Level for Contamination;
• Lead from a soil sample collected from WP-9, with a concentration of 420 mg/kg, was reported above the MSCC; and
• Chromium from a soil sample collected from WP-9, with a concentration of 35 mg/kg, was reported above the MSCC.
On December 19, 2017, a total of three (3) post-excavation soil samples were collected and submitted to Prism for laboratory analysis of TPH-DRO, lead and/or chromium. A review of soil analytical results from soil samples collected on December 19, 2017 reported the following concentrations above applicable soil standards:
• Chromium from soil samples collected from WP-8A, WP-9A, and WP-10A, with a maximum concentration of 30 mg/kg, were reported above the MSCC.
On December 21, 2017, a total of five (5) post-excavation soil samples were collected and submitted
CES Project No. 7002.1117ED 11
January 31, 2018
to Prism for laboratory analysis of TPH-DRO, lead and/or chromium. A review of soil analytical results from soil samples collected on December 21, 2017 reported the following concentrations above applicable soil standards:
• TPH-DRO from a soil sample collected from WP-5A, with a concentration of 180 mg/kg, was reported above the Initial Action Level for Contamination; and
• Chromium from soil samples collected from WP-2A, WP-3A, WP-5A, WP-7A, and TP-1, with a maximum concentration of 61 mg/kg, were reported above the MSCC.
On January 4, 2018, one (1) post-excavation soil samples was collected from the over-excavated area near WP-5A, and submitted to Prism for laboratory analysis of TPH-DRO. A review of soil analytical results from the soil sample collected January 4, 2018 reported TPH-DRO concentrations below the Initial Action Level for Contamination. As previously reported, a small test pit was excavated to a depth of approximately three and a half (3.5) feet below grade, located approximately forty-five (45) feet to the southwest of the wash pit excavation area, to compare concentration levels of lead and chromium reported from outside the area of concern to concentration levels reported from the wash pit excavation area. A review of laboratory analytical reports indicated that a concentration of 53 mg/kg was reported from the soil sample (TP-1) collected from the test pit. Based on reported chromium concentrations from the wash pit excavation area, ranging from 22 mg/kg to 61 mg/kg, the concentrations of chromium from within the excavated area are consistent with the concentration reported from outside the excavated area. As such, similar concentration levels of chromium in soils would be expected to be encountered throughout the subject property and in the general area, and therefore, are deemed to be consistent with background levels, and not associated with an apparent release from the wash pit. It should be noted that during site related activities associated with the removal of the hydraulic lift and wash pit, and subsequent soil excavation and removal activities with soil field screening and sampling for laboratory analysis, representatives of ATC Group Services, LLC were onsite on behalf of a third party, in an agreement between the current property owner, North State, and the said third party, and collected soil samples for field screening and laboratory analysis from similar locations as discussed in this section. A summary of soil analytical results are included in Table B-3. Soil laboratory analytical reports and chain-of-custodies are attached as Appendix C.

On December 19 and 21, 2017, and January 4, 2018, the onsite excavation contractor, Moore & Seagle, in their contractual agreement with North State, coordinated the transportation and disposal of approximately 299.32-tons of soils to the CMS Landfill of Concord, NC for landfill disposal under non-hazardous waste manifests. Copies of soil disposal manifests are included in Appendix D.
5.5 Conclusions
During a series of soil excavation and removal events conducted between November 22, 2017 and January 4, 2018, a total of twenty (20) soil samples were screened in the field with a PID, a total of eighteen (18) soil samples, including one (1) soil sample from the excavated test pit, were collected
CES Project No. 7002.1117ED 12
January 31, 2018
and submitted for laboratory analysis, and a total of approximately 299.32-tons of soils were transported under non-hazardous waste manifests to the CMS Landfill of Concord, NC for landfill disposal. A review of final post-excavation soil laboratory analytical indicated that collected soil samples for TPH-DRO and lead were reported below their respective soil standards, and that chromium concentrations were reported consistent with background levels. During the soil excavation and removal events, to a maximum depth of approximately nine (9) feet below grade, groundwater, bedrock, and/or free product were not encountered.
CES Project No. 7002.1117ED 13
January 31, 2018
6.0 CONCLUSIONS
6.1 Conclusions
Based on final post-excavation soil sample concentration levels for TPH-DRO and lead reported below the NCDEQ Initial Action Limit for Contamination, and the MSCC, respectively, chromium concentrations reported consistent with background levels, and since groundwater, bedrock and/or free product was not encountered within the excavated area, it is recommended that no further remedial actions are necessary at this time.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND HEALTH AND SAFETY PLAN (EMP)
Howard Property
2435 N NC Highway 16 Business
Denver, NC
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This Environmental Management and Health and Safety Plan (EMP), additionally referred to as
the ‘plan”, has been developed for CES Group Engineers, LLP (CES), for application to work
completed at the Howard Property, located at 2435 N NC Highway 16 Business, Denver, North
Carolina. Additionally, this plan should also be utilized for any work completed at surrounding
properties where groundwater monitoring wells may be located. For the purpose of this plan,
the term “excavation” will include, but is not limited to, soil excavation, drilling soil boring,
monitoring wells and/or remedial recovery wells, trenching and injections. The plan addresses
health and safety procedures and information relevant to both land surveying services and
environmental services by CES personnel, and/or subcontracted personnel. The health and
safety portion of the plan provides procedures to minimize: (1) the potential for accidents from
physical hazards, and (2) the potential for exposure to chemical contaminants during activities
which disturb the subsurface materials in the event that contamination of soil or groundwater by
special wastes is encountered. The Project Manager, assisted by the assigned Site Safety
officer, will ensure that all on-site subcontractor personnel, and site visitors, comply with the
specified health and safety requirements. At least one copy of this EMP will be maintained at
the local office of CES, as well as one copy will be maintained onsite by CES, and/or
subcontracted personnel.
1.1 PURPOSE / OBJECTIVE
The protection of workers and environmental safety and health are major concerns during this
project and cannot be understated. The objective of the EMP is to document procedures and
precautions to be implemented during site assessment, monitoring and/or remediation activities
associated with the demolition and removal of an underground hydraulic lift and wash pit, in
order to provide for and promote safe working conditions at the site during field activities,
specifically at locations where contamination of soil and groundwater has been documented
and/or is expected to be encountered. The safety organization and procedures have been
established based on a previous analysis of potential hazards at the site. Personal protection
measures have been selected in response to these potential hazards.
This EMP and HASP has also been developed based upon review of the requirements
described in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Standard Operating Safety
Guide and the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA standards 29 CFR Part 1910. Reasonable
precautions will be taken by the contractor’s representative and its subcontractors to provide for
and promote the
1
safety and health of workers and the general public. Subcontractors will be given copies and
will be required to follow this EMP.
1.2 RESPONSIBILITIES FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY
All site activities which have the potential to expose personnel to site contamination or a related
injury are subject to this EMP. Personnel will be responsible for adherence to the safety
procedures during the performance of the work. In no case may work be performed in a
manner that conflicts with the intent of, or the inherent safety and environmental cautions
expressed in, these procedures. Following due warning(s), personnel who violate safety
procedures will be dismissed from the site, and may be terminated. In the event that
contamination is encountered during regular construction operations, personnel will be
exclusively employed in the affected area of the project site, who have been properly trained in
health and safety regulations associated with handling hazardous materials or special wastes
as specified in the training section (Section 9.0) of this EMP.
The requirements provided herein may be modified as the work progresses to accommodate
changing conditions, but a reduction or increase in the health and safety requirements will not
be made without prior approval by the assigned Site Safety Officer (SSO). The prevention of
adverse health effects and injuries to site workers is totally dependent on the contribution of all
project participants. Open communication among workers, supervisors, and management
concerning safety at the site is an essential element of this EMP.
1.3 SUBCONTRACTOR’S RESPONSIBILITY
The Subcontractor is solely responsible for the health, safety, and protection of their own on-
site personnel during the performance of the survey and/or environmental services work scope.
The Subcontractor will perform the work specified in the contract documents in accordance
with the HEALTH AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS specified herein, and federal, OSHA, state,
and local health and safety regulations. It will be the responsibility of the Subcontractor to be
familiar with the required health and safety regulations in the performance of this work. The
Subcontractor will designate a Site Safety officer to implement and monitor activities related to
this EMP.
2
Should any unforeseen or site-specific safety-related factor, hazard, or condition become
evident during the performance of the work, the Subcontractor will take immediate and prudent
action to establish and maintain safe working conditions and to safeguard site personnel, the
public, and the environment.
2.0 ASSIGNMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY
All site activities which have the potential to expose CES personnel to site contamination or
related injury are subject to this EMP. As previously discussed, all site personnel are
responsible for adherence to the safety procedures during performance of the work. Specific
oversight responsibilities are assigned to various personnel as discussed in the paragraphs to
follow.
2.1 SITE SAFETY OFFICER
The SSO will be assigned to monitor the daily activities to assure that all health and safety
procedures/policies are being followed by CES personnel. This includes communicating the
specific requirements to all personnel, including subcontractors, implementing the EMP,
conducting site inspections to monitor compliance with EMP, providing or coordinating training
as required, coordinating the medical monitoring program, coordinating respirator fit tests as
required, coordinating the acquisition, calibration and maintenance of air monitoring equipment,
respirators and other safety equipment, directing on-site health and safety activities, and
reporting safety related incidents or accidents to the Project Manager.

3.0 BACKGROUND AND HAZARD EVALUATION
3.1 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project, involves the assessment, monitoring and remediation of soil during the demolition
of a subsurface hydraulic lift and wash pit. Future activities at the site may include, but are not
limited to soil and groundwater sampling, installation of monitoring and/or recovery wells,
surveying, pilot and slug testing, soil excavation and removal, trenching, installation of
subsurface piping and remedial system components, installation of mechanical remedial system
housed in an onsite trailer, shed or other structure, and injection of in-situ chemical oxidation
materials. During the completion of the aforementioned activities, heavy equipment and
machinery, such as drilling rigs, excavators, back-hoes, dump trucks, etc may be utilized and
present onsite.
5
3.2 HAZARD EVALUATION
Constant attention will be given to physical hazards encountered during work day activities,
particularly those activities associated with heavy equipment such as drilling, trenching and
earthmoving equipment. An evaluation of the potential hazards associated with site activities
has been completed utilizing site history. The following potential exposure pathways have been
identified:
· Dermal contact, inhalation and ingestion of contaminated soils and
groundwater;
· Inhalation and ingestion of contaminated vapors and particles;
· Ingestion of waste solids (accidental/poor hygiene);
· Dermal contact with waste solids.
Given the scope of work and the physical properties of the contaminants present at the site,
there is a potential respiratory hazard. There is also a contact hazard from volatile organic
compounds (VOCs). A respiratory hazard from dust and contaminated dust particles may also
exist during drilling, excavation and trenching activities.
It is recognized that site hazard evaluation is a dynamic and on-going process that changes on
a daily basis during progression of the work. However, significant deviation from the prescribed
site characterization will necessitate re-evaluation and possible EMP revision. Communication
from the SSO will initiate the re-evaluation process by the Project Manager.
3.3 SAFETY DATA SHEETS (SDS)
Consistent with 29 CFS 1910.1200, (Hazard Communication Standard) applicable Safety Data
Sheets (or equivalent) will be kept on-site, in each vehicle, and with the Project Manager. All
subcontractors must ensure that their employees are informed of their rights and responsibilities
under the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. Subcontractors will provide SDS sheets for
items which they bring on the site, as applicable. Due to the presence of VOCs, a SDS for
benzene (prepared by Total Petrochemicals & refining USA, Inc, dated 4/28/2015), as the
potential maximum VOC concentration encountered onsite, has been included as Appendix A.
6
4.0 AIR MONITORING
The purpose of air monitoring during construction is to identify and quantify airborne
contaminants to determine the level of protection needed. Air monitoring with direct reading
instruments will be conducted during all intrusive activities. Four categories of air monitoring
will be conducted as follows:
· Breathing Zone Monitoring;
· Explosive Gas Source Monitoring;
· Work Area Monitoring; and
· Dust Monitoring.
Equipment to be used in conducting air monitoring activities, along with a description of the type
and frequency of monitoring and associated action levels are discussed in the paragraphs to
follow.
4.1 MONITORING EQUIPMENT
The breathing zone will be monitored using a MiniRAE portable VOC monitor. These
instruments use a photoionization detector that is designed to measure trace quantities of
VOCs with a parts-per-million (ppm) sensitivity range. It does not detect methane. The survey
instrument will be calibrated using an appropriate standard according to manufacturer’s
instructions. The VOC monitor will be calibrated prior to each use if the instrument is used
infrequently, or daily when in constant use.
If the MiniRAE portable VOC monitor detects elevated levels of VOC concentrations (> 50
ppmv), in ambient air at the site, a Gastech 02 /explosion/H2S meter will be used to measure
oxygen concentrations, explosion potential, and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration. The
instrument will be calibrated with methane and H2S according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Air monitoring equipment will be certified intrinsically safe and operated by personnel trained in
the use of the specific equipment provided.
7
4.2 TYPES AND FREQUENCY OF MONITORING
4.2.1 Breathing Zone Monitoring
The breathing zone of a representative employee suspected of greatest exposure for each job
category engaged in work with potentially hazardous substances will be monitored as follows:
· For excavation operations, monitor the breathing zone of the
equipment operator and laborers with an OVM when the waste
material is initially exposed. The results of the monitoring, the
employee’s name, and the work activity will be recorded in the
daily log.
4.2.2 Explosive Gas Source Monitoring
During all operations identified as having a fire/explosion hazard, a combustible gas meter set
to measure the lower explosive level (LEL) will be used to continuously monitor the top of the
trench or excavation.
4.2.3 Work Area Monitoring
Each work area associated with hazardous waste spills and/or contamination will be monitored
at least one time each day with an OVM to determine the concentration of contaminants being
released into the general area.
4.2.4 Dust Monitoring
Chemical exposure via inhalation will be mitigated through the evaluation of wind velocity, and
common sense. Personal protective equipment will be utilized as necessary (based on specific
action levels) to prevent chemical exposure in excess of the exposure limits.
When possible, personnel should be situated upwind of work activity when working at the site.
Excavated areas should be allowed to vent for one to two minutes prior to investigative activities
to allow any vapors, dusts, or gases to dissipate. Liquids and solids should never be smelled to
confirm the presence or absence of chemicals.
The SSO will screen the site for dusty conditions to prevent inhalation of chemicals in
particulate form (e.g. residue on soil grains). If dusty conditions are observed, all workers will
wear appropriate respiratory protection designed for dusts. Extremely dusty conditions may
require dust suppression via water mist or spray prior to returning to work.
8
4.3 ACTION LEVELS
The action levels as prescribed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) will be used to initiate protective actions including, but not limited to, use of personal
protective devices, shut down of specific work activities, and site evacuation. A current volume
of the NIOSH Pocket Guide to Chemical hazards will be utilized as an on-site referenced by the
SSO.
5.0 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES
5.1 RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
During excavation or construction activities in an area where special wastes are expected or
have been encountered, the use of respiratory protection equipment may be required.
Respiratory protection is of primary importance as inhalation is one of the major routes of
exposure to chemical toxicants. Respiratory protective devices include air purifying respirators,
air-line respirators, and self-contained breathing apparatus.
The following respiratory protection practices will be observed by all workers at the Site when
conditions warrant respiratory protection:
· The respiratory protection utilized on-site will be in accordance
with OSHA, 29 CFR 1910.134.
· Only properly cleaned, maintained, NIOSH/MSHA-approved,
respirators will be used on-site (if required).
· Selection of respirators, as well as any decisions regarding
upgrading or downgrading of respiratory protection, will be made
by the SSO.
· Air-purifying cartridges will be replaced on a regular basis (at
least once per day) as determined by the SSO.
· No employee will be assigned to tasks requiring the use of
respirators if, based upon the most recent examination, a
physician determines that the employee will be unable to
function normally wearing a respirator or that the safety or health
of the employee or other employees will be compromised by use
of a respirator.

· Persons required to wear full-face respirators must not have
beards or moustaches that interfere with proper respirator seal.
All personnel wearing full-face respirators or personnel working
in the exclusion zone will be required to be clean-shaven prior to
each day’s shift. This will be strictly enforced by the SSO.
· All personnel required to use APRs must be properly fit tested
prior to engaging in field activities in accordance with OSHA
standards (29 CFR 1910.1025).
5.2 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
To protect workers against dermal contact with contaminants, the following apparel must be
worn during site-specific work activities depending on the level of protection specified for those
activities (Section 5.3 of this EMP):
· Disposable Tyvek coveralls;
· PVC-coated or equivalent coveralls for splash protection;
· Nitrile gloves or equivalent;
· Inner gloves - latex or vinyl;
· Outer disposable boots:
· Hard hat;
· Chemical-resistant boots (Neoprene, PVC, or equivalent);
· Hearing protection (as applicable);
· Steel-toed safety shoes;
· Goggles or safety glasses will be worn at all times in the work area;
· Sleeves taped to gloves and cuffs taped to boots;
· Face shield attachments for use with hard hats; and
· Disposable, chemical-resistant outer boots.
Upgrading or downgrading selected protective equipment will be the decision of the SSO based
on assessment of exposure potential during specific tasks.
10
5.3 LEVELS OF PROTECTION
The levels of protection to be utilized at the site, and the activities to which they apply, are
described in the following paragraphs. The SSO will select the appropriate level of PPE based
on air monitoring results.
5.3.1 Modified Level D
This is the minimum level of protective clothing to be worn at the site during construction
activities. All workers, supervisors, and visitors will be required to don the following clothing
prior to entering the project site. Based on the anticipated activities to be performed at the site,
it is anticipated that Modified Level D will provide adequate protection coverage.
· Work clothes;
· Hard hat;
· Safety shoes; and
· Work gloves.
5.3.2 Level D Protection Level D protection includes chemical resistant gloves and will be used for site work whenever contact with contaminated equipment or materials is possible. The following clothing will be required for Level D:
· Disposable, chemical-resistant outer boots;
· Coveralls (work uniform);
· Hard hat;
· Eye protection (safety glasses, goggles, or face-shield)*;
· Safety shoes;
· Nitrile gloves*; and
* Optional, as determined by SSO
Dust masks shall be used to reduce employee exposure to fugitive dust, an optional Level D
device. The absence of dusty conditions at the site will be justification for the SSO to permit
personnel to remove their masks.
11
5.3.3 Level C Protection
Level C will be used for site work when the inhalation and dermal contact hazard is elevated.
When conditions for Level C protection are appropriate, the following equipment will be
required: Tyvek coveralls/chemical-resistant protective coverall;
· Gloves (inner latex gloves and outer nitrile gloves);
· Hard hat;
· Safety shoes;
· Full-face or half-face air purifying respirator with organic vapor
cartridge (or other proper type cartridge for the intended use, as
determined by the SSO);
· Chemical-resistant outer boots;
· Tape gloves and boots to coveralls to prevent leakage; and
· Hearing protection (as determined by SSO)
5.3.4 Level B Protection
Level B will be used for site work when inhalation and dermal contact hazard are elevated to the
point that a positive pressure, supplied air source is needed.
· Saranex coveralls/chemical-resistant clothing
· Gloves (inner latex gloves and outer nitrile gloves);
· Hard hat;
· Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), or Supplied Air-Line
Respirator (SAR);
· Chemical-resistant safety boots; and
· Gloves and boots taped to prevent leakage.
12
6.0 SITE CONTROL
The purpose of site control is to minimize potential contamination of workers and to protect the
surrounding area from hazards found at the site. The project site is not secured by fencing or
other suitable site control means and is not routinely patrolled by police or other independent
security personnel; thus, certain procedures must be followed to ensure suitable site control
and limitation of access so that those persons who may be unaware of site conditions are not
exposed to hazards.
All excavations left open and unattended by site personnel will be appropriately barricaded and
visibly posted with “No Trespassing” or other appropriate signage. All heavy machinery and
equipment shall be locked or chained each evening upon completion of daily activities. All
potentially contaminated media, such as soil, will be covered with plastic prior to leaving the
site. These procedures, and other relevant procedures referenced in this document, will be
communicated to the onsite excavation contractor, who has been contracted directly by the
Client, North State Howard, LLC, and not by CES.
6.1 REGULATED AREAS
As appropriate to the task conducted, the site vicinity will be divided into three zones to allow
control of worker exposures. These zones are described as follows:
· Exclusion Zone. This zone includes the actual area of
contamination and localized work area where specific
investigative and/or construction equipment is operating. This
zone has the highest inhalation exposure potential, and/or
presents a high probability of skin contact with cutaneous
percutaneous - affecting chemicals. New exclusion zones may
exist during certain site-specific activities. This will be defined by
the SSO and access by individuals not necessary to operation
will be limited. (Level D is minimum)
· Contamination Reduction Zone. This zone includes the areas
immediately surrounding the Exclusion Zone. All personnel and
equipment leaving the Exclusion Zone shall be decontaminated
in this zone.
13
· Support Zone. This zone covers all areas outside of the
Contamination Reduction Zone. Administrative activities are
conducted in the Support zone, as well as equipment supply and
first aid supply. It is essential that contamination be kept out of
this zone.
6.2 ACCESS/SITE SECURITY
Access to contaminated work areas (Exclusion and Contamination Reduction Zones) will be
regulated and limited to authorized persons. Such persons include the Contractor’s
employees, designated equipment operators, and designated union representatives, as
applicable. The SSO will enforce access limitations during work hours.
6.3 POSTING/BARRICADES
Warning signs will be posted and hung, as applicable, in readily visible locations in or near
contaminated work areas. Barricades or barricade tape will be utilized to prevent access to
various work areas as indicated above.
14
7.0 POLICIES
7.1 GENERAL WORK PRACTICES
General work practices to be employed on-site are as follows:
· At least one copy of this EMP will be available at the work site.
· No food or beverages will be present or consumed in the
exclusion or contamination reduction zones. No tobacco
products will be present or used, and cosmetics will not be
applied in the exclusion or contamination reduction zones.
· No matches or lighters are permitted in the exclusion or
contamination reduction zones.
· During operations within an area of contamination, all employees
will be required to wash their hands and face before eating,
drinking, smoking, or applying cosmetics.
· Field personnel must observe each other for signs of exposure.
Indications of adverse effects include, but are not limited to, the
following:
- Changes in complexion and skin
discoloration;
- Changes in coordination;
- Changes in demeanor;
- Excessive salivation and pupillary
response; and
- Changes in speech pattern.
15
Field personnel will be cautioned to inform the SSO of non-
visible effects of exposure such as the following:
- Headaches;
- Dizziness;
- Nausea;
- Blurred vision
- Cramps; and
- Irritation of eyes, skin, or respiratory tract.
·
7.2 HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Extra attention should be paid to the following information regarding work around heavy
equipment (excavators, front end/backhoe loaders, drilling rigs, etc.).
· Use common sense.
· Follow OSHA requirements found in 29 CFR 1910 and 29 CFR
1926.
· Wear hard hats, hearing protection, and safety glasses at all
times (when not prohibited by the use of air purifying
respirators). Wear other protective gear as specified in the
Health and Safety Plan.
· A closed cab or cage will be required for equipment used at the
site.
· Pay attention at all times
· Maintain visual contact at all times.
16
· Establish hand signal communication when verbal
communication is difficult. Select one person per work group to
be the one to give hand signals to equipment operators.
· Be aware of footing at all times.
· Be sure that all heavy equipment has a backup alarm.
· Be sure that only qualified people operate heavy equipment.
· Use chains, hoists, straps, and other equipment to safely move
heavy materials.
· Use proper personal lifting techniques. (Use your legs, not your
back).
· Never walk directly in back of, or to the side of, heavy equipment
without the operator’s knowledge.
· Never use a piece of equipment unless you are familiar with its
operation. This applies to heavy as well as light equipment (for
example, chain saws).
· Make sure all precautions have been taken before moving pipe
sections and other materials to be utilized during this project as
they are extremely heavy. Let the equipment, not your body, do
the moving.
· Be sure that no underground or overhead power lines, sewer
lines, gas lines, or telephone lines will present a hazard in the
work area.
17
7.3 SANITATION
Onsite sanitation facilities (e.g., wash stations, etc.) may be provided for use by field personnel
assigned to the work if work activities involve the direct handling of contaminated soils and
groundwater.
8.0 DECONTAMINATION
The process of removing or neutralizing contaminants that have accumulated on personnel and
equipment is critical to personnel protection. Decontamination protects workers from
hazardous substances that may contaminate and eventually permeate the protective clothing,
respiratory equipment, tools, vehicles, and other equipment used on site. Decontamination
protects site personnel in the following ways: minimizing the transfer of harmful materials into
clean areas; preventing the mixing of incompatible chemicals; and protecting the community by
preventing uncontrolled transportation of contaminants from the site.
General – Each time an employee enters the Contamination Reduction Zone from the
Exclusion Zone, he/she just make a thorough self-examination. Equipment must be removed
without exposure to the wearer. Hands and face must be scrubbed before eating or use of
tobacco or cosmetic products to avoid accidental ingestion of wastes. Footwear must be
changed prior to leaving the Contamination Reduction Zone to avoid “tracking” of contaminants
outside the area.
Clothing – The Contractor will provide all required protective clothing. Protective clothes will be
left in the change facility. No clothing (including boots) is to be worn or carried away from the
site. Soiled clothing is to be disposed of as appropriate.
Respirators – All required respirators will be provided and maintained by the Contractor and will
be cleaned daily. Cleaning and maintenance will be performed in accordance with the
appropriate OSHA standard (29 CFR 1910.134).
Packaging of Waste Items – All disposable clothing and other contaminated material will be
placed in containers for storage on-site. Personnel will make a conscious effort to minimize the
volume of contaminated materials. Legible and understandable precautionary labels will be
18
affixed prominently to containers of contaminated scrap, waste, debris, and clothing.
Containers will be disposed with other solids in an EPA-approved manner.
8.1 PERSONAL DECONTAMINATION
Minimum measures to be undertaken for decontamination are outlined below. These measures
are to be followed, as applicable, unless the SSO specifies that a higher level of
decontamination is warranted, and accordingly, sets forth upgraded decontamination
procedures.
MINIMUM MEASURES FOR DECONTAMINATION
STATION PROCEDURES
1. Equipment Drop 1. Deposit equipment used on site (tools, sampling devices
and containers, monitoring instruments, radios, clipboards,
etc.) on plastic drop cloths or in different containers with
plastic liners. During hot weather operations, a cool down
station may be set up within this area.
2. Outer Garment, Boots and
Gloves Wash and Rinse
2. Scrub outer boots, outer gloves and fully encapsulating
suit with decon solution or detergent and water. Rinse off
using copious amounts of water.
3. Outer Boot and Glove

3. Remove outer boots and gloves. Deposit in container with
plastic liner.
4. Tank Change 4. If worker leaves Exclusion Zone to change air tanks, this is
the last step in the decontamination procedure. Worker’s air
tank is exchanged, new outer gloves and boot covers
donned, joints taped, and worker returns to duty.
5. Boot, Gloves and Outer
Garment Removal
5. Boots, fully-encapsulated suit, inner gloves removed and
deposited in separate containers lined with plastic.
6. SCBA Removal 6. SCBA backpack and facepiece is removed (avoid

22
10.0 HEALTH MONITORING
10.1 PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
The Contractor shall require all of its field workers to pass a pre-employment medical
examination prior to working at the site. The examination shall include a complete medical and
occupational history, and an evaluation from the attending physician as to whether the
employee is qualified to work in areas where exposure to chemicals or physical stress is
possible, and is physically able to use protective equipment, including respirators.
10.2 HEAT STRESS
It is anticipated that the work activities associated with this project may be conducted during the
late spring, summer or early fall seasons. Accordingly, high temperatures during these time
periods put extra physical stress on the body. Long periods of exposure to heat may cause
illness, particularly if the employee is not accustomed to working in hot areas. Also, heat builds
up inside protective clothing, so there is a risk of heat stress even if outside temperatures are
moderate.
The signs, symptoms and treatment of heat stress are outlined below. All individuals
participating in work in the Exclusion Zone and Contamination Reduction Zones should be
monitored regularly for heat stress symptoms.
Heat Cramps
Symptoms: painful muscle spasms
Cause: profuse sweating and drinking large amounts of water
Treatment: provide liquids with electrolytes (sodium, potassium) like diluted Gatorade
Heat Exhaustion
Symptoms: weakness, fatigue, dizziness; pale, cool, moist skin; heavy sweating;
Headache; nausea; and fainting
23
Cause: reduced blood volume resulting from dehydration from profuse sweating
And insufficient replacement of water and salts.
Treatment: If worker is conscious, rest in cool place; replace water and electrolytes
lost in sweat; if unconscious, get medical help immediately. DO NOT
give liquids if person is unconscious.
Heat Stroke
Symptoms: very dry, hot skin with red mottled or bluish appearance; confusion;
Convulsions; unconsciousness; rapidly rising temperature
Cause: body becomes overheated because the worker does not sweat.
Can be fatal.
Treatment: call for medical help immediately; move person to cool place;
remove PPE; use wet towels or water and fan to cool while waiting
for help.
10.3 SELF MONITORING
While at the site, CES employees and sub-contractors will be required to monitor their own
health and that of their co-workers. Visual observations include:
- behavioral changes
- change in appetite
- coordination losses
- gum and lip discoloration
- increased salivation
- pupil dilation
- sensation losses
- skin rashes
- slurred speech
24
Any abnormalities or changes are to be reported to the physician and investigated immediately.
Such aspects could be symptoms of toxic exposure and must not be allowed to persist without
medical attention. In addition, all accidents and injuries, no matter how small, are to be
reported to the SSO and investigated.
11.0 SITE STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
11.1 WORK PRACTICES
The need to exercise caution in the performance 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 in communicating caused by respirators. Work at the site will be
conducted according to established procedures and guidelines for the safety and health of
all involved. Among the most important of these principles for working at the site are:
- In any unknown situation, always assume the worst conditions and plan
accordingly.
- Establish and maintain communication
- Minimize contact with excavated or contaminated materials. Plan work
work areas, decontamination areas, and procedures to accomplish this.
Do not place equipment on drums or on the ground. Do not sit or stand
on drums or other materials.
- Employ disposable items when possible to minimize risks during
decontamination and possible cross-contamination during sampling/handling.
This will require a common-sense approach to potential risks and costs.
- Smoking, eating, or drinking after entering the work zone and before
decontamination will not be allowed. Oral ingestion of contaminants from
your hands is a likely means of introduction of the toxic substances into the
body.
25
- Avoid heat and other work stresses relating to wearing the protective gear.
Work breaks and proper tracking are planned to prevent stress-related
accidents or fatigue.
- Maintain monitoring systems. Conditions can change quickly if sub-surface
areas of contamination are penetrated.
- Be observant of not only your own immediate surroundings but also that of
others. 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, as vision, hearing, and
communication may be restricted by the protective gear.
- Be aware that chemical contaminants may aggravate or worsen symptoms
of other illnesses or intoxication. Avoid use of alcohol and working when ill.
11.2 COMMUNICATION PROCEDURES
Personnel in the Exclusion Zone shall remain within sight of other project personnel, and should
work in conjunction with another individual. Since it is not anticipated that the project area will
encompass a large area at any given time, radio communication will not be required. The
following standard hand signals will be used in the event that communication is required
amongst workers in and/or between the Exclusion Zone and Contamination Reduction Zone.
Hand gripping throat Out of air, cannot breathe
Grip partner’s wrist, or both Leave area immediately
Hands around partner’s waist
Rotating hands above the head Need assistance
Right hand thumb up OK, I’m all right, I understand
26
Right hand thumb down No, negative
12.0 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
