High Volume Ambient Air Monitoring. A written program for the instrument monitoring of emissions to assure compliance with the NAAQS, this Item, and any applicable City or County regulations. Include procedures to confirm that the monitoring equipment is properly calibrated, sited, and operated; filters are properly handled and transported; the laboratory analysis is performed by an accredited laboratory; and that all monitoring calculations, documentation, and forms will be sent directly to the Department. • Ground (Soil) Evaluations: A written program for inspection of the ground and soil prior to commencement of the project and upon completion to determine whether the ground was impacted by project activities. • Water/Sediment Evaluations: A written program for inspection of the water and sediment prior to commencement of the project and upon completion to determine whether the water or sediment was impacted by project activities.
High Volume Ambient Air Monitoring. 1. Conduct high volume ambient air monitoring during paint removal and clean-up activities to confirm that emissions do not exceed the EPA National Primary and Secondary Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), or specific County or City regulations.
High Volume Ambient Air Monitoring. When the work involves lead or other toxic metals in the paint or abrasive, conduct high volume ambient air monitoring for lead during coating removal and clean-up activities using the procedures specified in 40 CFR 50 Appendix B & G, and in compliance with this Section. Comply with the acceptance criteria established in City, Township, County, State or Federal regulations when applicable. Comply with the criteria below if there are no local regulations governing high volume ambient air monitoring for lead. Ambient air monitoring is to be performed by an independent third-party monitoring firm. TSP-Lead (Total Suspended Particulate-Lead) – The National Ambient Air Quality Standard for TSP-lead is 0.15 µg/m3 as a 90-day rolling average. However, for the purposes of evaluating the effectiveness of the containment system in limiting emissions, do not exceed 1.5 µg/m3 averaged over the specified sampling period detailed below. For the purposes of establishing a daily allowable limit, the acceptance criteria are extrapolated using the formulas identified in SSPC TU-7. Note that some local agencies establish their own acceptance criteria - do not exceed these criteria. Place TSP-Lead ambient air monitors at the nearest location(s) required to ensure that the public’s health is protected and to reduce public concerns, as specified in the Plan, and in the location(s) acceptable to the Representative or designee. In many cases, and as determined in the Sensitive Receptor Survey, more than one monitor may be required because the designated monitoring targets may be located at different distances and different directions from the work areas. On large structures, the required monitoring locations may change as the work areas change. The third-party monitoring firm will select air monitoring locations, subject to review and approval by the Representative or designee. Conduct background ambient air monitoring daily for a period of 3 days before blasting. The 3 days of background ambient air monitoring is to be conducted for 8 hours each day, during the hours of the day when dust generating activities such as abrasive blasting will typically be performed. Identify the proposed background monitoring locations in the Environmental Compliance Plan. Background concentrations of TSP-lead may be subtracted from the acceptance criteria identified above. Conduct daily full-time continuous ambient air monitoring for TSP-lead during dust producing operations that are performed wit...
