Worker Health and Safety
This section summarizes the worker health and safety issues that may be encountered
during the construction and operation of th
e proposed Mariposa Energy Project (MEP).
Because of the subject matter, this section follows a slightly different format than other
portions of Section 5.0. Instead of a standard
discussion of affected environment, followed
by the project’s environmental consequences
and proposed mitigation measures for
significant impacts, this section contains worker safety information, including the laws,
ordinances, regulations and standards (LORS) that
apply to this project. Section 5.16.1 is a
brief description of the work environment and setting. Section 5.16.2 describes the health
and safety programs in terms of analyses conducted to identify hazards and also the safety
compliance and training programs that will be
established onsite. Section 5.16.3 discusses
the applicable LORS. Section 5.16.4 lists the
regulatory agencies involved and key agency
contacts. Section 5.16.5 presents permits required and the permitting schedules.
Setting
MEP will consist of the installation and operation of four General Electric (GE) Energy
LM6000 natural gas-fired turbine generators and
associated equipment. The facility will be
located in northeastern Alameda County, Calif
ornia, on a 10-acre portion of a 158-acre
parcel (know as the Lee Property) immediat
ely south of the Pacific Gas and Electric
Company (PG&E) Byron Compressor Station and 230-kilovolt (kV) Kelso Substation. MEP
has an expected project life of 40 years.

Environmental Checklist
Although the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) checklist does not have specific
questions for worker health and safety, any
impacts will generally be
evaluated based on
the checklist. Related questions are addressed
in Section 5.5, Hazardous Materials Handling,
and Section 5.7, Noise.
