Environmental monitoring for the 2021 construction includes water and air. Air monitoring is being performed around the secure landfill, Route 131 Staging Area, Haverstock Road Staging Area, and Alcoa East Plant dock during construction at those locations. Water monitoring is being performed in the river and at water intakes. These monitoring activities and results are summarized below.
Air Monitoring - 2021 Secure Landfill Construction and Operation
Program includes particulate monitoring using real-time meters for particulates (or dust) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sampling for PCB analytical testing. Corrective action levels have been established based on levels that are safe for the community for particulates, VOCs, and PCBs. The actual monitoring results are compared to the corrective action levels to determine if adjustments in construction are needed. The air monitoring locations and tabulated results are provided below.

Air Monitoring - 2021 Route 131 Staging Area
Program includes particulate monitoring using real-time meters for particulates (or dust) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sampling for PCB analytical testing during handling of potential PCB-containing material. Corrective action levels have been established based on levels that are safe for the community for particulates, VOCs, and PCBs. The actual monitoring results are compared to the corrective action levels to determine if adjustments in construction are needed. The air monitoring locations and tabulated results are provided below.
