Air Data
Available for Thursday, July 30, 2009
- Real-Time air monitoring (Near Field Zone monitoring) - this type of air
monitoring will determine if dust is migrating outside of the
immediate work area so that additional dust control measures can be
implemented before any dust can move off-site. This
monitoring will consist of continuous, real-time dust
monitoring upwind and downwind of the work zone during all
phases of work with potential for significant release of dust (i.e.,
during soil excavation, backfill, waste placement, and cap
installation.) Real-Time monitoring provides immediate
information on the amount of dust (not just lead) being generated.
Note:
Air Monitor 3 had two hourly average readings recorded that
were above the Action Level for the area it was in (downwind
of work activities in the Containment Area) during the morning working hours
(9 and 10 a.m.). It is believed that a water truck or another piece of
equipment parked near the air monitor and that may have caused the
exceedances. The
co-located (PAM) lead sample from the Air Monitor 3 location
was sent in for analysis.
(See the
Co-Located Lead Samples
section below for the result.)

-
Co-Located Lead Samples -
this type of air
monitoring consists of air monitoring for lead using personal air monitors (PAMs).
For this monitoring, the PAMs are placed at the same location as the
Real-Time (Dust) Air Monitors or along the perimeter fenceline. This sampling is in addition to what is
required by the 100% Design. The samples are analyzed by a method
that provides a detection limit similar to the detection level that is used
for the perimeter high volume air samplers. This allows us to compare the
co-located sample results with the results that we obtain every six days
from the perimeter high volume air samplers. The co-located samples are also helpful in
providing data when exceedances occur at one of the dust monitors.
The real-time dust monitors are moved around on a daily basis based on the
location of work activities for the day; the co-located samples are located
with the dust monitors each day. Click below to view data for July 30,
