Part II - Environmental Community Monitoring Plan 133-135 Greenwich & 21-23 Thames Streets Airtek Project 05-0701— Rev 1 August 11, 2005

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 minerology 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 9012 Particle Counters are to be data logged. At one location the Met One 9012 Particle Counter data will be compared against PM-2.5 results from either laboratory analysis of paired sample filters obtained using an appropriate Federal Reference Method or PM-2.5 direct read results obtained using a Met One BAM 1020 monitor or Rupprecht and Papashnick TEOM instrument. At another location, the Met One 9012 Particle Counter data will be compared against PM-10 results from either laboratory analysis of paired sample filters obtained using an appropriate Federal Reference Method or PM-10 direct read results obtained using a Met One BAM 1020 monitor or Rupprecht and Papashnick TEOM instrument. This equipment will be operated for at least one week before the Demolition Phase begins. Prior to the commencement of the Demolition Phase, the EPA Region 2 office will be provided with the results of comparing the data from the Met One 9012 with the alternative sample collector or 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).

Metals sampling and analysis will be performed following NIOSH 7300 `Elements by ICP," except that ICP-MS will be utilized. A hot blocklacid digestion will be utilized. Metals to be analyzed by ICP-MS and reported are: Antimony, Barium, Beryllium,
