Purpose This document serves as the Ottawa National Forest’s Hazard Communication Plan. It provides detailed safety guidelines and instructions for receipt, use and storage of chemicals at our facilities by employees and contractors. Reference: OSHA Standard 1910.1200 General Chemical Safety Assume all chemicals are hazardous. The number of hazardous chemicals and the number of reactions between them is so large that prior knowledge of all potential hazards cannot be assumed. Use chemicals in the smallest quantities possible to minimize exposure and reduce possible harmful effects.

The following general safety rules shall be observed when working with chemicals:

· Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheets.

· Keep the work area clean and orderly.

· Use the necessary safety equipment as stated in the JHA, and MSDS.

· Carefully label every container with the identity of its contents and appropriate hazard warnings.

· Store incompatible chemicals in separate areas.

· Substitute less toxic materials whenever possible.

· Limit the volume of volatile or flammable material to a minimum.

· Provide means of containing the material if equipment or containers should break or spill their contents.

Many chemicals are explosive, corrosive, flammable, or toxic. Some are relatively safe to use and store but may become dangerous when they interact with other substances. To avoid injury and/or property damage, persons who handle chemicals in any area of the Ottawa National Forest must understand the hazardous properties of those specific chemicals. Before using a chemical, review safe handling methods and health hazards.

Supervisors are responsible for ensuring that the equipment needed to work safely with chemicals is accessible and maintained for all employees.

Task Evaluation Each task that requires the use of chemicals should be evaluated to determine the potential hazards associated with the work. This hazard evaluation must include the chemical or combination of chemicals that will be used in the work, as well as other materials that will be used near the work. Operations must be planned to minimize the generation of hazardous wastes.

Chemical Storage The separation of chemicals (solids or liquids) during storage is necessary to reduce the possibility of unwanted chemical reactions caused by accidental mixing. Explosives should be stored separately outdoors. Use either distance or barriers (e.g., trays) to isolate chemicals into the following groups:

· Flammable Liquids: store in approved flammable storage lockers.

· Acids: treat as flammable liquids

· Bases: do not store bases with acids or any other material

· Other liquids: ensure other liquids are not incompatible with any other chemical in the same storage location.

· Lips, strips, or bars are to be installed across the width of storage shelves to restrain chemicals from falling off the shelves.

Chemicals will not be stored in the same refrigerator used for food storage. Refrigerators used for storing chemicals must be appropriately identified by a label on the door.

Container Labels

· It is extremely important that all containers of chemicals are properly labeled. This includes containers capable of storing thousands of gallons to a hand-held spray bottle of degreaser.

· All containers will have the appropriate label, tag or marking prominently displayed that indicates the identity, safety and health hazards.

· Portable containers which contain a small amount of chemical need not be labeled if they are used immediately, but must be under the strict control of the employee using the product at all times.

· All warning labels, tags, etc., must be maintained in a legible condition and not be defaced.

· Incoming chemicals are to be checked for proper labeling.

Off-site use or transportation of chemicals All State and Federal DOT Regulations will be followed including use of certified containers, labeling & marking, securing of containers and employee training.

Emergencies and Spills

· Evacuate people from the area

· Isolate the area.

· If the material is flammable, turn off ignition and heat sources.

· Only personnel specifically trained in emergency response are permitted to participate in chemical emergency procedures beyond those required to evacuate the area.

Responsibilities Management

· Ensure compliance with 29 CFR 1910.1200

· Conduct immediate corrective action for deficiencies.

· Maintain an Hazard Chemical training program

· Make this plan available to employees Purchasing Agents

· Obtain Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for all chemicals purchased from retail sources. The manufacturer and/or retailer is required to provide them.

Safety Manager

· Maintain a list of hazardous chemicals based on the MSDS

· Ensure MSDS are available as required

· Monitor facilities for proper use, storage, and labeling of chemicals

· Provide information, as requested, concerning health effects and exposure symptoms listed on MSDS Supervisors

· Provide specific chemical safety training for assigned employees

· Ensure chemicals are properly used stored & labeled

· Ensure only the minimum amount of chemicals necessary are purchased and stored at facilities.

· Ensure current MSDS are readily accessible to all employees.

Employees

· Comply with chemical safety requirements

· Report any problems with storage or use of chemicals

· Immediately report spills or suspected spills of chemicals

· Use only those chemicals for which you have been trained

· Use chemicals only for specific assigned tasks and in the proper manner Employee Training Initial Orientation Training All employees shall receive safety orientation training covering the elements of the HAZCOM and Right to Know Program. This training will consist of general training covering:

· Location and availability of the written Hazardous Chemical Communication Plan

· Location and availability of the List of Chemicals used in the workplace

· Methods and observation used to detect the presence or release of a hazardous chemical in the workplace

· The specific physical and health hazard of all chemicals in the workplace

· Specific control measures for protection from physical or health hazards

· Explanation of the chemical labeling system

· Location and use of MSDS Job Specific Training Employees will receive on the job training from their supervisor. This training will cover the proper use, inspection and storage of necessary personal protective equipment and chemical safety training for the specific chemicals they will be using or will be working around.

Training Frequency Training should be conducted at the time of their initial assignment, and whenever a new physical or health hazard is introduced into their work area.

Contractors All contractors working with chemicals on the Ottawa National Forest are required to follow the OSHA regulations, Forest Service Policy, and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality for compliance.

MSDS Information Material Safety Data Sheets are provided by the chemical manufacturer to provide additional information concerning safe use of the product. Each MSDS provides:

· Common Name and Chemical Name of the material ,

· Name, address and phone number of the manufacturer

· Emergency phone numbers for immediate hazard information

· Date the MSDS was last updated

· Listing of hazardous ingredients

· Chemical hazards of the material

· Information for identification of chemical and physical properties Employee Use of MSDS

· Know the location of the MSDS

· Understand the major points for each chemical

· Check MSDS when more information is needed or questions arise

· Be able to quickly locate the emergency information on the MSDS

· Follow the safety practices provided on the MSDS

J.1.3 Attachment 3 - Seed Mix

Seeding Recommendations for Mine Closure sites Mesic sites (e.g. around shafts, over foam plugs)

Many species of seeds may be used for seeding disturbed area as required by the contract. Farm cooperatives and feed stores (such as Settler’s Coop in Bruce Crossing, MI) are likely places to find suitable seed. Cost varies by species, but an acceptable seed mix can be obtained for $100-$200 per 50 pounds, which, at an application rate of 5-10 lbs/acre, should be more than adequate for this contract. It is expected that a total of only 1-2 acres will require seeding.

Recommended Natives Grasses and grass-like plants

Forbs

Acceptable Non-natives Grasses and grass-like plants

Forbs

Wet sites (e.g. on access roads to mine shafts and adits) Recommended Natives Grasses and grass-like plants

Forbs

Avoid at all sites Grasses and grass-like plants

Forbs

And all Ottawa NF Non-native invasive plants of concern

Air line to surface for in situ inflation “False Bottom” for PUF Closure of Mine Shafts Detail of optional “corner wedge” addition Figure 2: Side view of optional corner wedge addition. As inner tube expands laterally , it pushes the “corner wedge” farther out along 2” X 2” lumber until the point of the wedge contacts the corner of the shaft.

Figure 3: Plan view of corner wedge.

2” X 2” lumber Inner tube Wall of shaft Wall of shaft The corner wedge is designed to provide support for poured foam in the corners of shafts whose square cross section may not completely interface with a round inner tube.

The corner wedge consists of a triangular piece of plywood with a vertical flange. This is mounted on a “sleeve” that fits over and slides freely along the 2” X 2” lumber. As the inner tube expands, it pushes on the vertical flange, which makes the wedge assembly slide horizontally until it contacts the wall of the shaft.

Corner wedge The purpose of this construction is to provide a “false bottom” (plat form) inside a mine shaft onto which liquid polyurethane foam (PUF) can be poured. Installation would proceed thusly:

The 2” X 2” lumber will be bolted together and eye bolts with ropes will be attached.

An inner tube with air line attached will be placed atop the lumber. Corner wedges will be attached if needed. A tarp (the ropes and air line pass through it) will be draped over the assembly.

The false bottom will be lowered to the correct depth in the shaft and the ropes will be tied off to sturdy anchors. An extending pole can be used to maneuver the assembly.

The inner tube will be inflated via the air line until it contacts the walls of the shaft.

Foam will be poured on the assembly from ground level (no entry into shaft required).

An extending pole can be used to alter the placement of foam b ags once they have been dropped onto the assembly.
