Asbestos Air Mouitoriuk

I At a ntininiunt, five (5) TEM samples shall be collected per day during cleanup activities.

2. Samples shall be collected at isolation barriers outside the work area, the clean room of the worker/waste decontamination facility, and outside of the building.

3. Sample collection during clean up activities shall be in accordance with Title 15, Chapter 1 of the Rules of the City of New York (RCNY) and AHERA regarding documentation, sample locations, rate of flow, and required volumes to achieve the necessary analytical sensitivity.

4 Sampling equipment shall be placed at representative locations and away from obstruction. Sampling cassette must be placed on a tripod and not taped to existing surfaces. All air sampling equipment shall be pre- and post- calibrated to insure accurate air sampling volumes.

5 The Air Sampling Technician shall perform clearance air sampling after the areas are free of dust accumulations as determined by the Project Monitor. All surfaces must be completely dry prior to the start of sampling. Clearance air sampling shall be performed at each apartment. Five samples shall be collected in each apartment and two samples shall be collected in each common space. The elevator shaft and first floor commercial spaces shall be cleared separately. Clearance air monitoring shall be performed after the completion of all clean up activities at the work site. Clearance air sampling shall be aggressive and performed in accordance with Title 15, Chapter 1 of the RCNY Section 1-43 (a)-(d)

6. Clearance air samples shall be collected in accordance with the procedures specified in the NIOSH 7400 Method The flow rate for collection of air samples shall be at least 10 liters per minute and no more than 15 liters per minute. Air sampling cassettes must be monitored to ensure the filters do not develop dark spots that would indicate clogging. The minimum sampling volume is 3600 liters. If clogging develops, the cassette must be changed.

7. All clearance air samples and couipleied chain of custody fornis must be transported to the laboratory immediately after sampling is completed

Clearance Criteria

I The following clearance levels have been established by the USEPA for clean up activities resulting trout the collapse of the W'I'C.
