Environmental Health and Safety Plan draft for Staten Island Landfill,

NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

Staten Island Landfill Debris Disposal Operation Health and Safety Program

4.6 (steel-toed boots, hardhats, safety glasses, safety vests, and hearing protection) shall apply for all non-regulated areas on the “hill-top”. Respiratory protection and protective clothing is required in the exclusion zone. For the purposes of this plan, the non-regulated areas generally consist of the following:

Designated traffic zones, which are described in the next section. Command trailer areas. Mess areas. Medical areas. Support structures.

Despite the proximity to the exclusion zones, the appropriate level of PPE in these areas will likely be different than the PPE for the exclusion zone. Additionally, with the exception of the mess area and the actual trailers associated with the command trailer area and the medical area, the types of PPE worn by workers in these areas likely will be mixed. Personnel entering these areas may be wearing PPE from the exclusion zone. Based on the nature of the operation, the magnitude of the operation, and the limited space for non-landfilling and sorting operations, commingled personnel is inevitable, but not desirable.

EE&G has prepared a Dust Suppression Evaluation which will lead to the development of a Dust Minimization Plan to minimize the potential for fugitive dust in non-regulated areas.

2.5 DESIGNATED TRAFFIC ZONES

Designated traffic zones are areas associated with the planned movement of vehicular traffic. These areas are non-regulated areas as described above and will likely change throughout the project as landfilling and sorting operations change. Additionally, due to the hazards associated with vehicular traffic, these zones are identified separately on the site plan.
