The Contractor shall conduct dust monitoring in the work zone and at the work area perimeter during activities that have the potential to disturb soil, both contaminated material and clean material. When handling clean material, the dust action level for the work area perimeter shall be set at 150 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3), in accordance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standard.
SECTION 01 35 29 Page 8
Perimeter air sampling will occur at a minimum of three perimeter air monitoring locations which will be based on the area being worked and wind direction. Perimeter air monitoring locations shall be agreed upon by the
USACE COR.
When handling clean material, if the ambient air concentration of PM10 at the downwind perimeter of the work area, or nearest occupied building, exceeds 100 ?g/m3 above the previously established background (upwind) concentration, or if airborne dust is observed leaving the work area, dust suppression techniques will be employed. Work utilizing dust suppression techniques will continue provided the downwind PM10 concentration does not exceed 150 ?g/m3 above the background (upwind) concentration. If, after implementation of dust suppression techniques, the downwind PM10 concentration is greater than 150 ?g/m3 above the background (upwind) concentration, work will be stopped, and activities will be re-evaluated.
During intrusive remedial activities when handling contaminated Raymark Waste, a site-specific real-time Dust Action Level (DAL) be used to control fugitive dust emissions. The DAL will be calculated for Morgan Francis and OU3 by utilizing the EPA Regional Screening Levels (RSLs) for soil and average soil concentrations for the constituents of concern at each site. Average soil concentrations for each site will be provided to the contractor by USACE.
Real-time work area perimeter monitoring shall be performed using the MIE DR4000 monitors or equivalent placed in weather proofed cases. These instruments shall be set to automatically store data for subsequent retrieval.
Time-Weighted Average monitoring shall be conducted daily at each of the perimeter air monitoring stations when intrusive remediation activities are performed. Monitoring for the indicator chemicals, to include lead, copper, and asbestos fibers, shall be performed in order to verify that concentrations at the perimeter locations are within recommended guidelines. If analytical results for the dust are found to be equal to or greater than the action level for asbestos, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis will be performed to verify the presence or absence of asbestos fibers.
3.5 HEAT STRESS MONITORING AND MANAGEMENT
