Regulatory Submittal Part IV- Waste Sampling & Management Plan
Fiterman Hall 30 West Broadway, New York, New York
Airtek Project 05-0867 — January 10, 2006
2.7 Non-Porous (Cleanable) Waste
Certain non-porous deconstruction waste such as unpainted scrap metals
may be cleaned and classified, managed, and recycled/disposed of as non-
hazardous C&D debris. Cleaned, painted, non-porous deconstruction
waste with waste characterization greater than applicable standards would
be classified, managed and disposed of as hazardous waste with the
toxicity characteristic of the exceeded Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) characteristic. Non-cleaned, non-porous
deconstruction waste will be disposed of as asbestos waste at a minimum,
and in accordance with the determinations of the dust characterization
study that is discussed in Section 4.1.
2.8 Structure & Façade
At completion of the Remediation Phase only the steel, concrete and glass
structural components and exterior masonry & metal facade materials of
the buildings will remain. The interior materials will have been
decontaminated as a part of the Remediation Phase, and focused cleaning
of exterior facade components will have been conducted. The exceptions
to this are specific non-friable asbestos-containing components of the
facade that will be abated and managed per a site-specific variance from
the NYS Department of Labor (NYS DOL), and disposed as ACM waste
at a minimum.
The classification of building components and contents will be an ongoing effort
and will be conducted by the Environmental Consultant in accordance with
applicable New York City, New York State and federal laws, rules, and
regulations. This Plan is intended as a working document to be used during
ongoing operations at the Site, and will be updated as necessary as new
information becomes available.
3.0 Overall Waste Characterization Stratewy
As was proposed at 130 Liberty Street by the Lower Manhattan Development
Corp. (LMDC), samples of WTC dust will be collected throughout the 30 West
Broadway structure and analyzed for Full TCLP, RCRA Characteristics and Total
PCBs. Sample site selection will be designed to be representative of the various
conditions noted throughout the structure. Representativeness of the sampling
plan is discussed in Section 4.0. Results of these samples will be compared to the
criteria provided in 40 CFR Part 261 sections 21 through 24 and Environmental
Protection Agency Publication SW 846 Chapter 7. The results of these
comparisons will inform further waste characterization sampling activities as
follows:
• Where dust classification sampling indicates that the dust is not a
characteristic hazardous waste, any non-hazardous materials potentially
