DRAFT 3, Wipe samples shall be collected before and after cleaning for lead, mercury, dioxin, and PAHs.

Prior to the cleaning activities, three wipe samples shall be collected for each of these parameters in each apartment. The sampling locations shall be a wall, a bare floor, and a counter or tabletop.

After cleaning activities, three wipe samples shall be collected for each of these parameters in each apartment. The sampling locations shall be a wall, a bare floor, and a counter or tabletop; preferably at the same location as the pre-cleaning samples.

4. The required sampling and analytical procedures are specified in Table 1.

Asbestos Air Sample Collection and Analysis

1. All asbestos air samples collected during clean-up activities shall be analyzed via TEM. The method of analysis and sampling methodologies shall be in accordance with the applicable sections of Title 15, Chapter 1 of the Rules of the City of New York and AHERA.

2. A turnaround time of 24 hours is required for all samples.

3. Asbestos clearance air samples shall be analyzed in accordance with the NIOSH 7400 Method, and analyzed by PCM followed by TEM. The laboratory shall report a PCMe value of all fibers greater than 5 microns in length. Therefore, the lab shall report PCM, TEM and PCMe values for each sample.

Asbestos Air Monitoring

1. Ata minimum, 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.
