No field work will be allowed until Plan is accepted.

Two specific areas are highlighted below that must be addressed in the SSSHP and the SSSHP shall address appropriate training for all workers with any potential for exposure to either:

Hazardous Materials: The project site was tested for limited hazardous materials and contaminated soil and the full lab results are included in this package. Highlights of the results include the following:
