Regulatory Submittal Part 11-
Environmental Community Air Monitoring Program
Fiterman Hall— 30 West Broadway
Airtek Project 05-0867-- January 10, 2006
Footnote 1: Sampling duration and/or flow rates may be modified to provide optimum
analyte loading for analysis based on results of ongoing analyses. Initial Sampling flow
rates should be in accordance with rates prescribed in the sampling method.
Footnote 2: Organics will be sampled as provided below under "Notes on the
Community Air Monitoring Table" below.
Notes on Community Air Monitoring Table:
Asbestos:
Asbestos sample collection will be performed in accordance with NIOSH 7402,
"Asbestos by TEM". Asbestos analysis will be performed utilizing Transmission Electron
Microscopy ("TEM") analysis specified in 40 CFR Part 763, Asbestos Hazard
Emergency Response Act, ("AHERA"), with the following modifications:
1. The sensitivity on TEM air samples will be less than 0.002 s/cc.
2. Both the length and width of all asbestos fibers will be recorded.
3. Confirmation by EDS and/or SAED will be performed for each fiber
analyzed.
4. The mineralogy of the fibers will be noted and recorded.
Dust:
Airborne dust and particles at the Site will be monitored using real-time air monitoring
instrumentation. Real-time air monitoring for PM-2.5 and PM-10 will be accomplished
with direct reading particulate in air monitors (Met One E-BAM). Data from E-BAMs are
to be data logged. At one location the Met One E-BAM data will be compared against
PM-2.5 results from a Rupprecht and Patashnick TEOM instrument. At another location,
the E-BAM data will be compared against PM-10 results from another Rupprecht and
Papashnick TEOM instrument. This equipment will be operated for at least two weeks
before the Remediation Phase begins. Prior to the commencement of the Remediation
Phase, the EPA Region 2 office will be provided with the results of comparing the data
from the E-BAM with the TEOM and the proposal of a correction factor, if needed.
Respirable Crystalline Silica — Metals:
Respirable crystalline silica sampling will be performed according to NIOSH Method
0600 protocol with analysis following-NIOSH Method 7500 (XRD).
Metals sampling and analysis will be performed following NIOSH 7300 "Elements by
ICP," except that ICP-MS will be utilized. A hot block/acid digestion will be utilized.
Metals to be analyzed by ICP-MS and reported are: Antimony, Barium, Beryllium,
Cadmium, Chromium, Copper, Lead, Manganese, Mercury (particulate), Nickel and
Zinc.
