Weekly Activities

October 26, 2015: Posillico has completed installing the temporary fence on top of the concrete barriers, stripping the sidewalk within the work zone, and grading the bulkhead area. Posillico has begun to clear the barrier wall alignment of any obstructions that may impede the wall installation. As part of this effort, Posillico has started uncovering the tunnel that connected the bulkhead area to the main Former MGP site. Once exposed, the tunnel will be inspected for stability and filled in if necessary.

CAMP data is reviewed and compared to specific NYSDEC/NYSDOH approved criteria, known as “Action Limits.” As a result of this evaluation process, site conditions are categorized into two categories, “Operational Condition” and “Action Condition.” The “Operational Condition” is applicable when the data is below the “Alert, Response and Action Limits”, and means that normal operations can continue. The “Action Condition” occurs when one or more of the fifteen minute average measurements for Dust (PM10), Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC) or Odor Intensity are greater than the background or upwind measurement by the specified “Action Limits.” Reaching an Action Level requires corrective action or stopping work until the condition is addressed or abates. During the period from October 26, 2015 through November 1, 2015, four portable CAMP stations were in-use and measured TVOC and PM10. Fifteen-minute averages for TVOC and PM10 data remained in Operational Condition remained below the Action Limit. Weekly Reports of the CAMP data can be found as a separate tab in the Weekly Report Archive section.

For the week of November 2, 2015, Posillico will continue clearing the alignment of obstructions and investigating the tunnel.
