Silo 3 Environmental Control Plan

Jacobs-Project Number 35H19605
September 23, 2003 e
The section describes the method that will be used for controlling fugitive dust emissions
and ensuring compliance with the required standards and site-specific limits for the Silo 3
Project. Dust releases from field activities will be proactively suppressed by applying BAT
dust control materials andlor implementing BAT work practices at the beginning and during
field activities. RM-0047, Fugitive Dust Control Requirements, will be used as the
appropriate site-specific definition of BAT for fugitive dust control together with OAC
3745-17-07 and OAC 3745-17-08, to minimize the creation and dispersion of fugitive
dust.
4.1 SITE-SPECIFIC LIMITS
The following site-specific limits will be applied:
Visible particulate emission from any paved roadway or paved parking area should not
exceed 1 minute during any 60-minute observation period.
0 Visible particulate emissions from any unpaved roadway, unpaved parking area, project
field activities, or wind erosion from storage piles should not exceed 3 minutes during
any 60-minute observation period.
Personnel using 40 CFR Part 60, Appendix A, Method 22 "Visual Determination of Fugitive
Emission from Material Sources and Smoke Emissions for Flares," will verify compliance
with these limits. Fluor Fernald will provide.Method 22 training to qualify Contractor
personnel.
4.2 SUPPRESSION EQUIPMENT
Due to the radiological issues associated with working on the Silo 3 Project, dedicated
equipment will be used for radiological work zones to avoid having to decontaminate
equipment. If required by site conditions, the Contractor may, switch equipment and
systems between areas after decontamination and radiological sampling verifies no and
radiological scanning, switch equipment and systems between areas after decontamination
and radiological scanning verifies no contamination. The proposed equipment list to
suppress dust releases includes, but is not limited to, the following:
0 Motor grader,
Backhoe,
0 Miscellaneous hand tools (shovels, brooms),
Miscellaneous pumps and hoses,
