The field efforts will be performed under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New England District (USACE) Contract No. W912DR-13-D-0013. The purpose of this APP/SSHP is to protect human health and the environment from the risks associated with field activities at Former Niagara Falls-Buffalo Defense Nike Battery BU-34/35 located in East Aurora and Orchard Park, New York. 1.2 Purpose and Objective TI2E will perform field activities in accordance with the United States Occupational Safety and Health Guidance Manual for Hazardous Waste Site Activities; the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) / Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), October 1985; Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 1926.65, 1910.120, 1910.165, 1910.1030, 1910.1200, 1910.134; the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM-385-1-1, (2008); and any other relevant Federal, State, and local regulations. The purpose behind the preparation of this APP, is to ensure contractor and subcontractor compliance to procedures and standards described in the USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1 (2008). The objectives of this APP/SSHP are to identify the potential safety hazards associated with site activities, confirm that precautions for safe fieldwork are in place, and to assure that appropriate health and safety procedures are identified to protect personnel. Additionally, the APP will outline the necessary protection to prevent damage, injury, or loss of property and equipment and to respond quickly and effectively to emergency related situations. 1.3 Site location and Background The Niagara Falls-Buffalo Defense Nike Battery BU-34/35 is located in Erie County, New York and consists of two operational areas located on separate parcels of land. These include the battery control area (Control Area) (also called Integrated Fire Control), and the launch area (Launch Area) with underground missile magazines (also called silos in previous reports), launchers, and adjacent assembly, missile fueling, and service areas. The Control Area is a 25.65-acre parcel of land located at 3270 Transit Road in Orchard Park, New York. The Launch Page 1 Final Accident Prevention Plan/Site Safety and Health Plan February 2016
