Environmental Community Air Monitoring Program
Fiterman Hall — 30 West Broadway
Airtek Project 05-0867 — January 10, 2006
substituted and project-specific adjustments to protocols may be made. Generally,
sampling will be conducted once every 24-hour work period, except asbestos
(TEM analyses), which will be taken for the duration of every work shift and once
a day during non-work days during the Remediation phase. Real-time particulate
monitoring will be on a continuous basis. Instantaneous mercury readings will be
obtained to evaluate the air quality around the work site at multiple locations each
work day.
2.0 Visible emissions
2.1 Remediation Phase
At the commencement of each work shift, the SH will conduct a thorough
inspection of all engineering control systems including containment barriers, and
negative air control systems, and exterior. If any visible emission is noted on the
exterior of the work area, all work will be stopped and not restarted until an
evaluation of engineering controls has identified and corrected the cause of the
emission. The evaluation may include, but is not limited to, work activities and
smoke testing of the isolation barriers. Any damaged or malfunctioning
engineering control will be repaired immediately. The work will not be restarted
until engineering controls are repaired or determined to be functioning properly.
2.2 Deconstruction Phase
During each work shift, the SH will observe deconstruction operations to monitor
visible dust in the air and suppression measures being applied by the
deconstruction contractor. The SH may, depending on the severity and duration of
dust condition, order a stoppage of the work or require modified work practices to
reduce visible dust.
2.3 Notification
The EPA Region 2 office and NYSDOL will be notified promptly of any visible
emission observed by the EC to cross the property line of the Buildings. The EC
will promptly advise the EPA Region 2 office and the NYSDOL of the corrective
actions taken. A report of inspection results and corrective actions taken will be
provided to the EPA Region 2 office and NYCDOL within 2 business days of any
incident showing any visible a nissions.
3.0 Remediation Phase Air Monitoring
3.1 Visible Emissions
Monitoring for visible emissions will be conducted as described above in Section
2.0 of this specification.
