Regulatory Submittal Part IV- Waste Sampling & Management Plan
Fiterman Hall 30 West Broadway, New York, New York
Airtek Project 05-0867 — January 10, 2006
4.8 Structure & Facade
At completion of the Remediation Phase only the steel and masonry
structure and the facade will remain, with the exception of specific non-
friable ACBM items that will be abated as part of the Deconstruction
Phase. The remaining materials will have been HEPA vacuumed, wet
wiped, and spray-encapsulated.
Dust sampling for hazardous waste characteristics will have been
performed in advance of deconstruction activities. If dust classification
sampling indicates that the dust is not a characteristic hazardous waste,
and then by extension, any non-hazardous materials potentially impacted
by dust (i.e., the Structure & Facade of the building would also not be
hazardous. Where analyses indicate that the dust exceeds RCRA criteria
for any one RCRA characteristic, structure and facade waste materials
potentially impacted by the dust will be assumed to exceed that specific
RCRA characteristic unless testing proves otherwise.
Within any floor of the building where dust exhibits RCRA-regulated
levels of contamination, representative composite sampling of structure
and facade waste will be conducted. Analyses will be for only the specific
RCRA characteristic that was noted in the dust characterization study.
5.0 Analytical Methodologies
Analyses conducted to support waste characterization skill be performed
according to the following methodologies. Where more than one method is
identified, each analytical method is valid per the regulations.
5.1 Toxicity
Method 1311 in "Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical
Methods," EPA Publication SW-846 as follows:
— Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) - Method 8260B of "Test Methods for
Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA Publication SW-
846. VOC toxic constituents include benzene (DO18), carbon tetrachloride
(D019), chlorobenzene (D021), chloroform (D022), 1,4-dichlorobenzene
(D027), 1,2-dichloroethane (D028), 1,1-dichloroethylene (D029), methyl
ethyl ketone (D035), tetrachloroethylene (D039), trichloroethylene (D040),
and vinyl chloride (D043).-
— Semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) - Method 8270C of "Test
Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods," EPA
Publication SW-846. SVOC toxic constituents include 2,4-dinitrotoluene
(D030), hexachlorobenzene (D032), hexachlorobutadiene (D033),
hexachloroethane (D034), o-cresol (D023), m-cresol (D024), p-cresol (D025),
