Regulatory Submittal Part IV- Waste Sampling & Management Plan
Fiterman Hall 30 West Broadway, New York, New York
Airtek Project 05-0867 — January 10.2006
4.0 Sampling Preatuencies
4.1 Contaminants
A full-building asbestos survey has been conducted. In-place Asbestos-
Containing Building Materials (ACBM) have been identified, located and
included in the Project Plan. No further characterization will be conducted
unless site conditions reveal additional suspect materials not addressed in
the ACBM surveys. Lead paint testing has detected only a small quantity
(<100sf) of lead paint in the Building. Again, as remediation and
deconstruction reveal materials heretofore uncharacterized, testing will be
conducted as appropriate.
WTC dust characterization will be conducted throughout the facility in
accordance with an organized sampling protocol approved by EPA, and
established to ensure representativeness of sample results. On a floor-by-
floor basis (16 floors), five grab samples of dust will be collected for
compositing at the laboratory. These 16 samples will be analyzed in
accordance with the analytical methodologies detailed in Section 5.0 (full
TCLP, RCRA characteristics, total PCBs). The results of these analyses
will be applied to waste sampling and management decisions for the other
primary waste categories on a spatial basis relative to the source location
of the applicable representative sample. Where analyses indicate that the
dust exceeds RCRA criteria for any one RCRA characteristic, materials
potentially impacted by the dust will be assumed to exceed that specific
RCRA characteristic unless testing proves otherwise. -
Details of the representative composite sampling to be conducted in
response to the results of the dust characterization will be the subject of a
revised WSMP to be submitted upon completion of the dust
characterization study.
4.2 PPE and Remediation Process Consumables
RCRA characterization testing will be conducted on composite samples of
spent filters, filter media, personal protective equipment (PPE), and other
project consumables. A minimum of three grab samples will be collected
at random from 10% of the packages (bags/drums) of this class of
material. Grab samples from every five packages sampled will be
composited for analysis., These materials will be packaged and disposed of
as asbestos waste at a minimum unless hazardous waste characterization
testing indicates that the material must be managed as a hazardous waste
as well as an asbestos waste. Used PPE and Remediation Process
Consumables will be packaged, handled and stored per the results of the
dust characterization study pending RCRA hazardous waste
characterization of composited samples. Locations of work that produced
