Part II- Environmental Community Monitoring Plan
133-135 Greenwich & 21-23 Thames Streets
Airtek Project 05-0701— Rev 2 September 16, 2005
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."
Notes on Community Air Monitoring Table:
General: Blanks will be processed in accordance with the analytical methodologies
and standard industry practice.
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. Data from Met One E-BAM Particle
Counters are to be data logged. At one location the Met One E-BAM Particle Counter
data will be compared against PM-2.5 results from PM-2.5 direct read results obtained
using a Met One BAM 1020 monitor. At another location, the Met One E-BAM Particle
Counter data will be compared against PM-10 results from PM-10 direct read results
obtained using a Met One BAM 1020 monitor. This equipment will be operated for at
least one week before the Abatement Phase begins. Prior to the commencement of the
Abatement Phase, the EPA Region 2 office will be provided with the results comparing
the data from the Met One E-BAM with the alternative instrument and the proposal of a
correction factor, if needed.
Respirable Dust/Crystalline Silica — Metals — Total Dust:
Respirable dust and crystalline silica sampling will be performed according to NIOSH
Method 0600 protocol with analysis following NIOSH Method 7500 (XRD).
