The action levels specified herein require increased monitoring, corrective actions to abate emissions, and/or work shutdown. Additionally, the CAMP helps to confirm that the remedial work did not spread contamination off-site through the air. Based on previous investigations at the site, the primary airborne concerns for this site are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and dust particulates. 1.1 Regulatory Requirements This CAMP was established in accordance with the following requirements: • 29 CFR 1910.120(h): This regulation specifies that air shall be monitored to identify and quantify levels of airborne hazardous substances and health hazards, and to determine the appropriate level of protection for workers. • New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s (NYSDEC) DER-10, Appendix 1A (New York State Department of Health’s (NYSDOH) Generic Community Air Monitoring Plan): This guidance specifies that a community air-monitoring program shall be implemented to protect the surrounding community and to confirm that the work does not spread contamination off-site through the air. • NYSDEC DER-10, Appendix 1B (Fugitive Dust and Particulate Monitoring): This guidance provides a basis for developing and implementing a fugitive dust suppression and particulate monitoring program as an element of a hazardous waste site’s health and safety program. 2.0 AIR MONITORING The following sections contain information describing the types, frequency, and location of real-time monitoring. 2.1 Real-Time Monitoring This section addresses the real-time monitoring that will be conducted within the work area, and along the site perimeter, during intrusive activities such as excavation, product recovery, manipulation of soil piles, extraction of sheet piling, etc. 2.1.1 Work Area The following instruments will be used for work area monitoring: • Photo-ionization Detector (PID) P.W. Grosser Consulting, Inc • P.W. Grosser Consulting Engineer & Hydrogeologist, PC 1 630 Johnson Avenue, Suite 7 • Bohemia, NY 11716 PH 631.589.6353 • FX 631.589.8705 • www.pwgrosser.com New York, NY • Syracuse, NY • Seattle, WA • Dust Monitor Table 1-1 presents a breakdown of each main activity and provides the instrumentation, frequency, and location of the real-time monitoring for the site. Table 1-2 lists the Real-Time Air Monitoring Action Levels to be used in all work areas. 2.1.2 Community Air Monitoring Requirements To establish ambient air background concentrations, air will be monitored at several locations around the site perimeter before investigation activities begin. These points will be monitored periodically in series during the site work. Fugitive respirable dust will be monitored using a Thermo Personal DataRAM PDR-1000AN aerosol monitor or equivalent. Air will be monitored for VOCs with a portable MiniRAE 2000 PID or equivalent. Table 1-1 presents a breakdown of each main activity and provides the instrumentation, frequency, and location of the real-time monitoring for the site. Table 1-2 lists the Real-Time Air Monitoring Action Levels to be used in all work areas. All air monitoring data is documented in a site log book by the designated site safety officer. PWGC’s site safety officer or delegate must ensure that air monitoring instruments are calibrated and maintained in accordance with manufacturer's specifications. All instruments will be zeroed daily and checked for accuracy. A daily log will be kept. If additional monitoring is required, the protocols will be developed and appended to this plan. P.W.

If the ambient air concentration of organic vapors exceeds 5 ppm above background at the perimeter of the work area, activities will be halted and monitoring continued. Vapor suppression measures can also be taken at this time. If the organic vapor level decreases below 5 ppm above background, work activities can resume. If the organic vapor levels are greater than 5 ppm over background but less than 25 ppm over background at the perimeter of the work area, activities can resume provided: P.W. Grosser Consulting, Inc • P.W. Grosser Consulting Engineer & Hydrogeologist, PC 3 630 Johnson Avenue, Suite 7 • Bohemia, NY 11716 PH 631.589.6353 • FX 631.589.8705 • www.pwgrosser.com New York, NY • Syracuse, NY • Seattle, WA • The organic vapor level 200 feet downwind of the work area or half the distance to the nearest residential or commercial structure, whichever is less, is below 5 ppm over background. If the organic vapor level is above 25 ppm at the perimeter of the work area, activities must be shut down. When work shutdown occurs, downwind air monitoring as directed by the Site Health & Safety Officer (SHSO) will be implemented to ensure that vapor emission does not impact the nearest residential or commercial structure at levels exceeding those specified in the Major Vapor Emission Response Plan Section. 4.0 MAJOR VAPOR EMISSION RESPONSE PLAN If any organic levels greater than 5 ppm over background are identified 200 feet downwind from the work area or half the distance to the nearest residential or commercial property, whichever is less, all work activities must be halted. If, following the cessation of the work activities, or as the result of an emergency, organic levels persist above 5 ppm above background 200 feet downwind or half the distance to the nearest residential or commercial property from the work area, then the air quality must be monitored within 20 feet of the perimeter of the nearest residential or commercial structure (20 Foot Zone). If efforts to abate the emission source (see Section 5.0) are unsuccessful and if organic vapor levels are approaching 5 ppm above background for more than 30 minutes in the 20 Foot Zone, then the Major Vapor Emission Response Plan shall automatically be placed into effect. However, the Major Vapor Emission Response Plan shall be immediately placed in effect if organic vapor levels are greater than 10 ppm above background. Upon activation, the following activities will be undertaken: 1. All emergency Response Contacts as listed in the Health & Safety Plan will go into effect. 2. The local police authorities will immediately be contacted by the Health & Safety Officer and advised of the situation. 3. Frequent air monitoring will be conducted at 30-minute intervals within the 20 Foot Zone. If two successive readings below action levels are measured, air monitoring may be halted or modified by the Health and Safety Officer. 5.0 VAPOR SUPPRESSION TECHNIQUES Vapor suppression techniques must be employed when action levels warrant the use of these techniques.

The following techniques were shown to be effective for controlling the generation and migration of dust during remedial activities: • Wetting equipment and excavation faces; • Spraying water on buckets during excavation and dumping; • Hauling materials in properly covered containers; and, • Restricting vehicle speeds to 10 mph. It is imperative that utilizing water for suppressing dust will not create surface runoff. 7.0 DATA QUALITY ASSURANCE 7.1 Calibration Instrument calibration shall be documented in the designated field logbook. All instruments shall be calibrated before each shift. Calibration checks may be used during the day to confirm instrument accuracy. Duplicate readings may be taken to confirm individual instrument response. 7.2 Operations All instruments shall be operated in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. Manufacturers' literature, including an operation manual for each piece of monitoring equipment will be maintained on-site by the FOL/HSO for reference. 7.3 Data Review The Field Team Leader will interpret all monitoring data based on Table 1-2 and his/her professional judgment. The Field Team Leader shall review the data to evaluate the potential for worker exposure, upgrades/downgrades in level of protection, comparison to direct reading instrumentation and changes in the integrated monitoring strategy. Monitoring and sampling data, along with all sample documentation will be periodically reviewed by the Project P.W. Grosser Consulting, Inc • P.W.
