Regulatory Submittal Part IV- Waste Sampling & Management Plan

the PPE and consumables will be recorded to assist in ensuring that
sampling will be representative.
4.3 Deconstruction Waste
As noted in Section 4.1 above, dust characterization for hazardous waste
characteristics will be performed. 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
Deconstruction Waste listed in subsection 2.3 above) would also not be
hazardous. Where analyses indicate that the dust exceeds RCRA criteria
for any one RCRA characteristic, deconstruction waste materials
potentially impacted by the dust, as determined by the Environmental
Consultant 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
deconstruction waste will be conducted. Analyses will be for only the
specific RCRA characteristic that was noted in the dust characterization
study.
4.4 Universal Waste
Universal waste items will not be tested, but will be cleaned of dust by the
application of HEPA-vacuuming and wet-wiping procedures prior to
containerization.
4.5 PCB Waste
All ballasts, including those labeled "No PCB" will be containerized for
disposal as PCB waste due to the presence of potting material. Potentially
PCB-containing equipment other than ballasts, will be inspected and
sampled as required to determine'=whether the dielectric fluid contains
more than 50 parts per million (ppm) PCBs, which would make the
equipment subject to the PCB regulations. As required by the NYS
Education Department, representative samples of caulking material will be
collected and analyzed prior to the deconstruction, and will be tested to
determine the concentration of PCBs.
4.6 Miscellaneous Contefits
Initial characterization has been conducted by review of existing labels
and/or Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), as noted in the Chemical
Log included in Attachment A. Specific requirements beyond initial
characterization are found in the applicable federal, state and city solid and
