About this file

This is a Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) for contaminated soil contact management at Miami VA Healthcare System Project #546-22-110, prepared by Tierra Group on June 30, 2024. The plan addresses health and safety protocols for construction activities involving potential exposure to arsenic-contaminated soil during a boiler building extension project at the Bruce W. Carter Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center located at 1201 NW 16th Street, Miami, Florida.

The project involves removal of approximately 20 cubic yards of arsenic-impacted soil from the former underground storage tank/former incinerator area. The site soil is known to contain arsenic exceeding commercial direct exposure soil cleanup target levels. All site soil will be handled assuming arsenic contamination and tested for total arsenic using EPA methods 6010 or 6020; samples exceeding 100 mg/kg will undergo Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) testing. The plan specifies Level D personal protective equipment as the minimum requirement, including sleeved shirts, long pants, safety-toed boots, safety glasses, hard hats, and high-visibility vests. Dust control measures include use of solid flight augers, wet suppression with water trucks, vehicle speed restrictions under 20 mph, limited work area access, stockpile coverage with polyethylene sheeting, and covered dump trucks for off-site soil disposal. A designated on-site Health and Safety Representative must be present during soil removal and handling activities. Emergency response procedures direct personnel to Jackson Memorial Hospital (1611 NW 12th Avenue, Miami, FL 33136), with emergency contact numbers and hospital route directions provided. The plan was reviewed and approved by Michael Rothenburg, P.E., C.I.H. (Certificate #11876 CP) and includes appendices with project construction plans, acknowledgment forms, site assessment documentation, and emergency contact information.

I. INTRODUCTION

On behalf of the Miami VA Healthcare System (Miami VA), Tierra Group (Tierra) presents this

Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan (HASP) to support Miami VA Project #546-22-110 at the

Bruce W. Carter Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center, 1201 NW 16th Street, Miami, Florida, which is located in the vicinity of contaminated site UT-2694 in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

The purpose of this document is to provide a plan for addressing potential hazards associated with possible exposure to contaminants of concern (COCs) during construction activities. This document may also serve as a supplement to other plans submitted to Miami-Dade County

Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), Division of Environmental

Resources Management (DERM), Pollution Remediation Section (PRS).

II. BACKGROUND

Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center (MDC ID# UT-2694/FDEP ID# 138628963), located in the vicinity of 1201 NW 16th Street. The subject property is a hospital and medical center operated by the Miami Veterans Affairs Healthcare System.

In March 2018, two leaded gasoline Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) were discovered abandoned-in-place during demolition of Incinerator Building No. 5. File review indicated that the storage tank registration was updated and a new application for removal was submitted to

Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for approval. In May and June 2018, the storage tanks were removed and a Tank Closure Assessment Report (TCAR) was submitted in July 2018. Site assessment beginning in March 2019 identified elevated arsenic concentrations in soil and the potential for arsenic, chromium, Volatile Organic Hydrocarbons (VOHs), and FL

Method PRO (FL-PRO) compounds contamination in groundwater. DERM approved a quarterly groundwater monitoring plan (GWMP) and source removal of arsenic-impacted soils in May

2021. DERM approved a revised groundwater sampling plan in June 2024. Select pages of the referenced documents are provided in Appendix C.

III. SCOPE OF WORK

Miami VA intends to construct a boiler building extension in the former UST/former incinerator area, as shown on the Site Plan included in Appendix A.

All work areas associated with the proposed construction, including staging areas, will be located within the Miami VA property. Surplus soils will be consolidated with skid-steer equipment and directly loaded into dump trucks for transport to an appropriate landfill that will accept such soils. Approximately twenty (20) cubic yards of soil will be removed during project construction.

The site soil is known to contain arsenic at levels that exceed the commercial direct exposure soil cleanup target level (SCTL) at some locations. All site soil will be handled assuming arsenic contamination. Soil to be disposed will be tested for total arsenic by EPA method 6010 or 6020 and, if greater than 100 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg), for arsenic by Toxicity Characteristic

Leaching Procedure (TCLP).

Before construction activities are initiated, erosion and sediment controls (i.e., silt fences) will be properly installed to encompass the project area to prevent, to the greatest extent possible, any

Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan Page 3 potential sediment release or turbidity outside the work area caused by ground disturbance. If any areas of bare soil are left following completion of the work activities, these areas will be properly stabilized (i.e., re-seeding, sodding, etc.) prior to the removal of the erosion and sediment controls. The expected duration of the construction project is seven hundred thirty

(730) days though the excavated area will only be exposed for several weeks. The designated

On-site Health and Safety Representative (HSR) will be present during removal and handling of impacted soil.

IV. HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOL

This site-specific HASP only addresses the health and safety requirements for management of contaminated soils. It does not present any excavation or trench safety plans, confined space entry, maintenance of traffic/worker safety, or procedures (drug and alcohol policy, excavation safety, incident reporting, etc.) to assure Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance, which are the responsibility of Miami VA’s contractor.

Prior to conducting any work, personnel must read and understand this HASP and a copy must be kept on-site for the duration of field activities. An acknowledgement form is included in

Appendix B.

A. Key Personnel and Responsibilities

The contractor is ultimately and solely responsible for the health and safety of their employees working on this project and compliance with all applicable regulations, including OSHA. The construction contractor must supply all personal protective equipment (PPE) and all other equipment necessary for compliance with this HASP.

The key personnel and their roles for this project are provided below:

• (TBA by Boiler Project 546-22-110 Prime Contractor), On-site Construction Manager

• (TBA by Boiler Project 546-22-110 Prime Contractor), On-site Construction Supt.

• (TBA by Boiler Project 546-22-110 Prime Contractor), Designated On-site Health and

Safety Representative (HSR)

• (TBA by Boiler Project 546-22-110 Prime Contractor), Environmental Manager

• (TBA by Boiler Project 546-22-110 Prime Contractor), Project Manager

The designated HSR must possess the proper health and safety qualifications and training to ensure that HASP requirements will be implemented during the project.

B. Hazard Evaluation

Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center (MDC ID# UT-2694/FDEP ID# 138628963), located in the vicinity of 1201 NW 16th Street. The subject property is a hospital and medical center operated by the Miami Veterans Affairs Healthcare System.

In March 2018, two leaded gasoline Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) were discovered abandoned-in-place during demolition of Incinerator Building No. 5. File review indicated that the storage tank registration was updated and a new application for removal was submitted to

FDEP for approval. In May and June 2018, the storage tanks were removed and a Tank Closure

Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan Page 4

Assessment Report (TCAR) was submitted in July 2018. Site assessment beginning in March

2019 identified elevated arsenic concentrations in soil and the potential for arsenic, chromium, Volatile Organic Hydrocarbons (VOHs), and FL Method PRO (FL-PRO) compounds contamination in groundwater. DERM approved a quarterly groundwater monitoring plan

(GWMP) and source removal of arsenic-impacted soils in May 2021. DERM approved a revised groundwater sampling plan in June 2024. Select pages of the referenced documents are provided in Appendix C.

Disturbing contaminated soils presents a potential risk of exposure to the COCs for the site workers. Potential routes of exposure to the COCs include inhalation, ingestion, and dermal contact. The following table details the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) over an 8-hour time-weighted average associated with the COCs and exposure to dust generated from earthwork activities:

Compound OSHA PEL

Arsenic, inorganic (as As) 0.01 mg/m3

Petroleum distillates

(Naphtha)(Rubber Solvent)

2,000 mg/ m3

Total dust (PNOS) 15 mg/m3

Respirable dust 5 mg/m3 *PNOS – Particulates Not Otherwise Specified

To ensure compliance with this HASP, the qualified HSR designee will be present during all soil handling activities. Soil excavation, disposal, and air monitoring shall be conducted in accordance with the Soil Management Plan (SMP) developed for this Miami VA project. During the course of work, if additional areas of soil contamination are encountered, the construction contractor will follow the guidelines included in the SMP and this HASP.

C. Dust Control

The construction contractor shall implement the following dust suppression practices when conducting site operations likely to generate dust:

• Use of Solid Flight Augers - Such augers will reduce dust production.

• Wet Suppression - Water will be applied to active work areas, staged material, and/or other areas based on observations by on-site personnel. A water truck will supply the water required for wet suppression. Water for dust suppression will be obtained on-site or from a municipal source designated by the utility.

• Speed Zone - Vehicles will be required to travel at low speeds (< 20 mph) on the site to minimize dust generation.

• Work Area Access - Access will be limited only to vehicles and equipment required for the work being conducted.

• Visible Dust Suppression - Employees will be notified to avoid areas where airborne dust is generated and, if dust is visible, increase dust suppression measures (primarily wetting).

• Stockpile Management - Cover and secure with polyethylene sheeting above and below stockpiled soil.

Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan Page 5

• Waste Transportation - In the event that off-site disposal of soil is required, dump trucks will be covered prior to leaving the loading area.

D. Personal Protective Equipment

Based on potential chemical hazards and the anticipated earthwork, Level D PPE should be the minimum level of equipment deployed at the site. Level D PPE includes the following elements:

• Work clothes consisting of sleeved shirts and long pants

• ASTM-approved safety-toed boots

• ANSI-approved safety glasses

• High-visibility vest

• Hard hat (minimum Class G)

• Work gloves or Kevlar gloves (as needed)

• Hearing protection (as needed)

• Boot covers (as needed)

• High-visibility rain gear (as needed)

The construction contractor’s designated HSR shall verify the proper PPE based on other types of hazards that may be encountered at the project site beyond the chemical hazards discussed above and shall adjust to a higher level of PPE, if required, and follow safety protocols in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.

Disposable protective clothing is to be properly disposed of after each use and when the PPE becomes damaged during use. Repairs to small rips may be made to protective clothing using duct tape.

Eating and drinking will not be allowed during work activities in the vicinity of known contamination. The contractor shall provide designated areas for lunch breaks and allow for eating and drinking, etc. Smoking will not be allowed on the project site.

E. Decontamination Procedures

The construction contractor shall provide site workers with potable water for hand and face washing prior to eating, drinking, or leaving the site. In addition, an equipment brush down/wash down zone with appropriate cleaning supplies will be established, as needed.

F. Heat Exposure

Elevated body temperature can cause serious injury or death. Working outdoors or in the sun increases the chance of heat-related injuries. This hazard is especially critical when PPE (such as coveralls or rain gear) is worn since heat from the body becomes trapped inside clothing.

Personnel should drink plenty of liquids and take breaks as needed. The following describes the various Heat Disorders and Health Effects:

• Heat Stroke: This disorder occurs when the body’s system of temperature regulation

(e.g., sweating and evaporation) fails and body temperature rises to critical levels. The

Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan Page 6 condition is caused by a combination of highly variable factors, and its occurrence is difficult to predict. Heat stroke is a serious hazard, however. Primary signs and symptoms are confusion, irrational behavior, loss of consciousness, convulsions, a lack of sweating

(usually), hot, dry skin, and an abnormally high body temperature. If a worker shows signs of possible heat stroke, call 911 to obtain immediate medical assistance. The worker should be placed in a shady area, and his or her outer clothing should be removed.

The worker’s skin should also be wetted and air movement around the body increased to improve evaporative cooling until professional methods of cooling are initiated and the seriousness of the condition can be assessed. Fluids should be replaced as soon as possible--by mouth only if the worker is conscious. The medical outcome of an episode of heat stroke depends on the victim’s physical fitness and the timing and effectiveness of first aid treatment. Regardless of the worker’s protests, no employee suspected of being ill from heat stroke should be sent home or left unattended unless a physician has specifically approved such an order.

• Heat Exhaustion: The signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion include clammy skin, headache, nausea, vertigo, weakness, thirst, and giddiness. Fortunately, heat exhaustion responds readily to prompt treatment. This condition, however, should not be dismissed lightly, for several reasons. One is that fainting associated with heat exhaustion can be dangerous because the victim may be operating machinery or controlling an operation that should not be left unattended. The victim could also be injured when he or she faints.

While the signs and symptoms associated with heat exhaustion are similar to those of heat stroke, the notable difference (with heat exhaustion) is clammy skin. Workers suffering from heat exhaustion should be removed from hot environments and given fluid replacement, by mouth only if the workers are conscious. They should also be encouraged to get adequate rest.

• Heat Rashes: The most common problem occurring in hot work environments is heat rash. Prickly heat is manifested as red papules and usually appears in areas where the clothing is restrictive. As sweating increases, the papules give rise to a prickling sensation. Prickly heat occurs in skin that is persistently wetted by unevaporated sweat, and papules may become infected if they are not treated. In most cases, heat rash will disappear when the affected individual returns to a cool environment.

• Heat Fatigue: One factor that predisposes individuals to heat fatigue is the lack of acclimatization. Use of a program of acclimatization and training for work in hot environments are advisable. The signs and symptoms of heat fatigue include impaired performance of skilled sensorimotor, high-concentration, or high-vigilance activities. The sole treatment available for heat fatigue is to remove heat stress and increase fluid replacement before a more serious heat-related condition develops.

Workers will be encouraged to increase consumption of water and electrolyte-containing beverages such as Gatorade during warm weather. Site personnel will also be reminded to maintain proper hydration during non-working hours during warm weather.

G. Emergency Response

Should outside medical or other emergency assistance be required, personnel will notify the contractor in command of the nature of the emergency and a call will be made to 911 (or

Site-Specific Health and Safety Plan Page 7 equivalent emergency response). If the injury or illness appears to be relatively minor, the affected person or persons may be driven to the emergency room of the nearest hospital.

Employees may respond to low danger emergencies, such as administration of first aid, fighting small fires (with fire extinguishers), and clean-ups of small chemical spills (of less than 55 gallons or 500 pounds). Employees will evacuate from the danger area when an emergency not listed above occurs and will not assist in handling the emergency.

• Directions to the nearest hospital: If an emergency occurs, call 9‐1‐1. If an injury occurs, take the injured person to the emergency room at the nearest hospital:

Jackson Memorial Hospital Emergency Room

1611 NW 12th Avenue, Miami, FL 33136

(305) 585-1111

In an emergency, call 911

1. Head west toward NW 17th Street (436 ft)

2. Turn left onto NW 17th Street (187 ft)

3. NW 17th Street turns slightly left and becomes NW 16th Street (0.1 mi)

4. Turn right onto NW 12th Avenue (0.2 mi)

5. Turn left onto NW 14th Street (0.3 mi)

6. Turn left onto NW 10th Avenue/Bob Hope Road (0.3 mi)

7. Turn left onto NW 17th Street. The emergency room will be on the right.

The Hospital Route and Emergency Telephone Numbers are provided as Appendix D. These documents will be posted at the site.

• Pre-Emergency Planning: An OSHA-approved first aid kit will be made available at the site by the construction contractor. Daily safety meetings will be held to identify and communicate problem areas at the site. Site personnel will be trained to recognize when an emergency situation has arisen and will know how to notify the commanding contractor of the incident.

• Personnel Roles and Communication: In the event of an emergency, personnel will follow the directions of the incident commander in charge who will coordinate and direct emergency response procedures to site personnel. An emergency will be communicated to persons on-site using verbal communications.

• Emergency Prevention: Site personnel will use safe work practices to minimize the potential for an incident.

• Site Security and Control: During an emergency situation, personnel are responsible for assuring the public's safety and will keep bystanders and unauthorized personnel from entering the site. At no time will personnel give statements regarding an emergency to persons not associated with emergency response or management.

• Accident Reporting: Incident scenes will be preserved so that a thorough incident investigation may be performed. Causes of the incident will be investigated and the findings presented to site personnel to prevent future incidents.
