5.2.1.3 Air Emissions Reports: The Contractor shall provide the COR with the electronic copies of the scheduled analysis results, underlining results which exceed standards, if detected. In addition, the Contractor shall compile and sign, for each air emission sample, the analysis and sampling schedule “Analytical Report” and provide the COR with signed electronic files. These reports shall be included in a monthly sampling analysis report covering the paint booth emissions and a quarterly sampling analysis report for the emission at sand blasting booth. This will result in twenty-eight (28) total electronic reports - twelve (12) for E2, twelve (12) for E3, and four (4) for E4, to be provided in both
Italian and English. Each report shall also include analysis results resulting from the monitoring compared with the threshold limits, sampling methodology, dates, name of the operator, and any possible unexpected events which may have occurred during the sampling. A draft copy of each report shall be submitted in Italian electronically to the COR for approval.
