Baseline Air Monitoring Summary Client: MBTA
Location: Yard 5, Readville, MA
Period: Baseline: July 18 – July 20, 2011
This baseline ambient data summary includes tabular summaries of the ambient air-quality data collected in accordance with the project’s Air Monitoring Plan (AMP) June 2010 at the MBTA Yard 5 Property in Readville, MA for the report period indicated above. Hand-Held PM10 Monitoring Summary During the reporting period there were no instances of elevated respirable particulate matter (i.e., particle sizes less than 10 microns in diameter - PM10) concentrations greater than the Action Level. The following tables summarize the real-time PM10 concentrations:
Table 1: Daily Average and Maximum PM10 Concentrations; and
Table 2: Elevated PM10 Concentration Summary. On-Going Data Evaluation Results for the THI and TRI The results from the “worst-case”, i.e., highest compound concentrations, from each sampling period through July 20, 2011 were used to calculate a running average for lead and arsenic. The results of the integrated sampling for lead and arsenic were incorporated into a Total Hazard Index (THI) and Total Risk Index (TRI) model. This model determines the potential effect of ambient conditions (changes in wind direction, and atmospheric stability) to estimate the airborne concentration for lead and arsenic at the nearest off-site receptor as a function of distance from the ground-level emission source, varying meteorogical conditions, and duration of the monitoring period. The results of the integrated sampling and THI and TRI are included in the following tables and figures:
Table 3: 8-Hour Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; Table 4: Prioritized Program Average Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; Figure 1: THI and TRI Based on the Prioritized Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; and Figure 2: Program-to-Date Average Prioritized Fenceline Lead and Arsenic Sampling Results.
Other Project Information The locations of the hand-held monitoring were conducted at various locations along the Site perimeter. The locations are shown in the following figure:
Figure 3: Site Map. Special Comments
Lead and arsenic samples were collected however, a laboratory error resulted in the samples being analyzed incorrectly using the wrong laboratory method. The results were reported with minimum detection limits significantly greater than those from the correct ambient air method. The arsenic concentration results were not representative of ambient air concentrations due to a high minimum detection limit, therefore, were not included in the air monitoring summary. Lead

concentrations results were, however, more representative of ambient air and are included herein. The laboratory method was corrected following the August 5, 2011 samples. No soil intrusive activities occurred during the sampling period. Baseline air monitoring took place from July 18, 2011 through July 20, 2011 to quantify the site’s existing pre-remedial conditions (i.e., “baseline levels”) of site-specific contaminants in addition to allowing a shake-down period for the AM operations.
Note that since no intrusive activities occurred during the sampling period, and due to issues with the arsenic analytical method, a THI and a TRI were not calculated. In addition, no samples were prioritized for lead and arsenic analysis to facilitate the timely evaluation of Site conditions. The THI and TRI will be calculated and sample will be prioritized for analysis once intrusive site activities begin and the proper analytical methods are used.

Definitions:
THI =
The Hazard Index (HI) was calculated for lead and arsenic by dividing the constituent concentration by the appropriate risk-
based criteria for non-carcinogenic effects (C air-nc). The sum of the HIs for all non-carcinogenic constituents is defined as
the Total Hazard Index (THI). A THI value less than 1.0 indicates that the combined effect of lead and arsenic is not likely to
pose a significant health risk.
TRI =
The Risk Index (RI) was calculated for the arsenic by dividing the predicted concentration by the appropriate risk-based criteria associated with a 1 x 10-6 excess cancer risk (C air-c). The sum of the RIs for constituents is defined as the Total Risk Indiex (TRI). A TRI value less than 1.0 indicates that arsenic is not likely to pose an excess cancer risk greater than 1x10-6.
Notes:
1 Using results from prioritized samples (i.e. worst-case from each sampling period). 2 Represents data from various locations at varying times and is not appropriate for comparison to the AAC. 3 Using dispersion factor (0.09) for the closest receptor (assumed to be 50 meters from the fenceline). 4 Estimates combined effect of each constituent at receptor location over the duration of the program (potential risk if > 1) 5 Assumes exposure 8 hrs/day, 5 days/week over the duration of the remediation program (assumed to be 6-months).

The results of the integrated sampling for lead and arsenic were incorporated into a Total Hazard Index (THI) and Total Risk Index (TRI) model. This model determines the potential effect of ambient conditions (changes in wind direction, and atmospheric stability) to estimate the airborne concentration for lead and arsenic at the nearest off-site receptor as a function of distance from the ground-level emission source, varying meteorogical conditions, and duration of the monitoring period. The results of the integrated sampling and THI and TRI are included in the following tables and figures as they become available from the laboratory:
Table 3: 8-Hour Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; Table 4: Prioritized Program Average Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; Figure 1: THI and TRI Based on the Prioritized Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; and Figure 2: Program-to-Date Average Prioritized Fenceline Lead and Arsenic Sampling Results.
Other Project Information The locations of the hand-held monitoring were conducted at various locations along the Site perimeter. The locations are shown in the following figure:
Figure 3: Site Map. Special Comments
Lead and arsenic samples were collected; however, a laboratory error resulted in the samples being analyzed incorrectly using the wrong laboratory method. The results were reported with minimum detection limits significantly greater than those from the correct ambient air method. The arsenic concentration results were not representative of ambient air concentrations due to a high minimum detection limit; therefore, were not included in the air monitoring summary. Lead

concentrations results were; however, more representative of ambient air and are included herein. The laboratory method was corrected following the August 5, 2011 samples. No ground intrusive activities occurred during the monitoring and sampling period. Onsite activities included moving debris into separate piles. Note that since no intrusive activities occurred during the sampling period and due to issues with the arsenic analytical method, a THI and a TRI were not calculated. The THI and TRI will be calculated and samples will be prioritized for analysis once intrusive site activities begin and the proper analytical methods are used.

Table 2: Elevated Hand-Held PM10 Concentration Summary. On-Going Data Evaluation Results for the THI and TRI The lead and arsenic sample results collected between August 11 and August 16, 2011 are included herein. Additionally, the results from the prioritized or “worst-case”, i.e., highest lead and arsenic concentrations, from each sampling period through August 19, 2011 were used to calculate a running average for lead and arsenic. The analytical results of the integrated sampling for lead and arsenic were incorporated into a Total Hazard Index (THI) and Total Risk Index (TRI) model. This model determines the potential effect of ambient conditions (changes in wind direction, and atmospheric stability) to estimate the airborne concentration for lead and arsenic at the nearest off-site receptor as a function of distance from the ground-level emission source, varying meteorogical conditions, and duration of the monitoring period.

Definitions:
THI =
The Hazard Index (HI) was calculated for lead and arsenic by dividing the constituent concentration by the appropriate risk-
based criteria for non-carcinogenic effects (C air-nc). The sum of the HIs for all non-carcinogenic constituents is defined as
the Total Hazard Index (THI). A THI value less than 1.0 indicates that the combined effect of lead and arsenic is not likely to
pose a significant health risk.
TRI =
The Risk Index (RI) was calculated for arsenic by dividing the predicted concentration by the appropriate risk-based criteria associated with a 1 x 10-6 excess cancer risk (C air-c). The sum of the RIs for constituents is defined as the Total Risk Indiex (TRI). A TRI value less than 1.0 indicates that arsenic is not likely to pose an excess cancer risk greater than 1x10-6.
Notes:
1 Using results from prioritized samples (i.e. worst-case from each sample day) beginning August 8, 2011. 2 Represents data from various locations at varying times and is not appropriate for comparison to the AAC. 3 Using dispersion factor (0.09) for the closest receptor (assumed to be 50 meters from the fenceline). 4 Estimates combined effect of each constituent at receptor location over the duration of the program (potential risk if > 1) 5 Assumes exposure 8 hrs/day, 5 days/week over the duration of the remediation program (assumed to be 6-months).

Weekly Air Monitoring Summary Client: MBTA
Location: Yard 5, Readville, MA
Period: August 22 – August 26, 2011
This weekly ambient data summary includes tabular summaries of the ambient air-quality data collected in accordance with the project’s Air Monitoring Plan (AMP) June 2010 at the MBTA Yard 5 Property in Readville, MA for the report period indicated above. Hand-Held PM10 Monitoring Summary During the reporting period there were no measured instances of elevated respirable particulate matter (i.e., particle sizes less than 10 microns in diameter - PM10) concentrations greater than the Action Level. The following tables summarize the real-time PM10 concentrations:
Table 1: Daily Average and Maximum PM10 Concentrations; and
Table 2: Elevated Hand-Held PM10 Concentration Summary. On-Going Data Evaluation Results for the THI and TRI The lead and arsenic sample results collected between August 17 and August 23, 2011 are included herein. Additionally, the results from the prioritized or “worst-case”, i.e., highest lead and arsenic concentrations, from each sampling period through August 26, 2011 were used to calculate a running average for lead and arsenic. The analytical results of the integrated sampling for lead and arsenic were incorporated into a Total Hazard Index (THI) and Total Risk Index (TRI) model. This model determines the potential effect of ambient conditions (changes in wind direction, and atmospheric stability) to estimate the airborne concentration for lead and arsenic at the nearest off-site receptor as a function of distance from the ground-level emission source, varying meteorogical conditions, and duration of the monitoring period. The results of the integrated sampling and THI and TRI are included in the following tables and figures on a weekly basis as they become available from the laboratory:
Table 3: 8-Hour Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; Table 4: Prioritized Program Average Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; Figure 1: THI and TRI Based on the Prioritized Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; and Figure 2: Program-to-Date Average Prioritized Fenceline Lead and Arsenic Sampling Results.

Weekly Air Monitoring Summary Client: MBTA
Location: Yard 5, Readville, MA
Period: September 5 – September 9, 2011
This weekly ambient data summary includes tabular summaries of the ambient air-quality data collected in accordance with the project’s Air Monitoring Plan (AMP) June 2010 at the MBTA Yard 5 Property in Readville, MA for the report period indicated above. Hand-Held PM10 Monitoring Summary During the reporting period there were no measured instances of elevated respirable particulate matter (i.e., particle sizes less than 10 microns in diameter - PM10) concentrations greater than the Action Level. The following tables summarize the real-time PM10 concentrations:
Table 1: Daily Average and Maximum PM10 Concentrations; and
Table 2: Elevated Hand-Held PM10 Concentration Summary. On-Going Data Evaluation Results for the THI and TRI The lead and arsenic sample results collected between August 29 and September 1, 2011 are included herein. Additionally, the results from the prioritized or “worst-case”, i.e., highest lead and arsenic concentrations, from each sampling period through September 9, 2011 were used to calculate a running average for lead and arsenic. The analytical results of the integrated sampling for lead and arsenic were incorporated into a Total Hazard Index (THI) and Total Risk Index (TRI) model. This model determines the potential effect of ambient conditions (changes in wind direction, and atmospheric stability) to estimate the airborne concentration for lead and arsenic at the nearest off-site receptor as a function of distance from the ground-level emission source, varying meteorogical conditions, and duration of the monitoring period. The results of the integrated sampling and THI and TRI are included in the following tables and figures on a weekly basis as they become available from the laboratory:
Table 3: 8-Hour Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; Table 4: Prioritized Program Average Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; Figure 1: THI and TRI Based on the Prioritized Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; and Figure 2: Program-to-Date Average Prioritized Fenceline Lead and Arsenic Sampling Results.

the Total Hazard Index (THI). A THI value less than 1.0 indicates that the combined effect of lead and arsenic is not likely to
pose a significant health risk.
TRI =
The Risk Index (RI) was calculated for arsenic by dividing the predicted concentration by the appropriate risk-based criteria associated with a 1 x 10-6 excess cancer risk (C air-c). The sum of the RIs for constituents is defined as the Total Risk Indiex (TRI). A TRI value less than 1.0 indicates that arsenic is not likely to pose an excess cancer risk greater than 1x10-6.

Definitions:
THI =
The Hazard Index (HI) was calculated for lead and arsenic by dividing the constituent concentration by the appropriate risk-
based criteria for non-carcinogenic effects (C air-nc). The sum of the HIs for all non-carcinogenic constituents is defined as
the Total Hazard Index (THI). A THI value less than 1.0 indicates that the combined effect of lead and arsenic is not likely to
pose a significant health risk.
TRI =
The Risk Index (RI) was calculated for arsenic by dividing the predicted concentration by the appropriate risk-based criteria associated with a 1 x 10-6 excess cancer risk (C air-c). The sum of the RIs for constituents is defined as the Total Risk Indiex (TRI). A TRI value less than 1.0 indicates that arsenic is not likely to pose an excess cancer risk greater than 1x10-6.
Notes:
1 Using results from prioritized samples (i.e. worst-case from each sample day) beginning August 8, 2011. 2 Represents data from various locations at varying times and is not appropriate for comparison to the AAC. 3 Using dispersion factor (0.09) for the closest receptor (assumed to be 50 meters from the fenceline). 4 Estimates combined effect of each constituent at receptor location over the duration of the program (potential risk if > 1). 5 Assumes exposure 8 hrs/day, 5 days/week over the duration of the remediation program (assumed to be 6-months).

Weekly Air Monitoring Summary Client: MBTA
Location: Yard 5, Readville, MA
Period: September 26 – September 30, 2011
This weekly ambient data summary includes tabular summaries of the ambient air-quality data collected in accordance with the project’s Air Monitoring Plan (AMP) June 2010 at the MBTA Yard 5 Property in Readville, MA for the report period indicated above. Hand-Held PM10 Monitoring Summary During the reporting period there were no measured instances of elevated respirable particulate matter (i.e., particle sizes less than 10 microns in diameter - PM10) concentrations greater than the Action Level. The following tables summarize the real-time PM10 concentrations:
Table 1: Daily Average and Maximum PM10 Concentrations; and
Table 2: Elevated Hand-Held PM10 Concentration Summary. On-Going Data Evaluation Results for the THI and TRI The lead and arsenic sample results collected between September 19 and September 23, 2011 are included herein. Additionally, the results from the prioritized or “worst-case”, i.e., highest lead and arsenic concentrations, from each sampling period through September 30, 2011 were used to calculate a running average for lead and arsenic. The analytical results of the integrated sampling for lead and arsenic were incorporated into a Total Hazard Index (THI) and Total Risk Index (TRI) model. This model determines the potential effect of ambient conditions (changes in wind direction, and atmospheric stability) to estimate the airborne concentration for lead and arsenic at the nearest off-site receptor as a function of distance from the ground-level emission source, varying meteorological conditions, and duration of the monitoring period. The results of the integrated sampling and THI and TRI are included in the following tables and figures on a weekly basis as they become available from the laboratory:
Table 3: 8-Hour Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; Table 4: Prioritized Program Average Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; Figure 1: THI and TRI Based on the Prioritized Lead and Arsenic Concentrations; and Figure 2: Program-to-Date Average Prioritized Fenceline Lead and Arsenic Sampling Results.
