United States Environmental Protection Agency Fugitive Dust Control at TSCA PCB Cleanup Sites Appendix B - Dust-Generating Activity & Sensitive Use Example Checklist EPA 530-R-24-005 Appendix B ------- Appendix B - Dust-Generating Activity & Sensitive Use Example Checklist This checklist can be used to identify site-specific dust-generating activities and sensitive uses that may be applicable to a particular PCB Cleanup Site. See Appendix A for example language (specifically, Dust Control Measures and associated Definitions) for each applicable Dust- Generating Activity Category and Sensitive Use provided in this checklist. This example checklist is not required to be used by a RP or submitted to EPA. Site Name: Click or tap here to enter text. EPA Site ID#: Click or tap here to enter text. Remedial Phase1: Click or tap here to enter text. Review Date: Click or tap here to enter text. Dust-Generating Activity Category Yes No Comments 1. Sitewide X This category applies to all PCB cleanup sites with a dust-generating activity(ies). 2. Excavating, Trenching, and/or Other Earth-Moving Activity(ies)? (any process that involves land clearing, disturbing soil surfaces, excavating, trenching, backfilling, earth cutting andfilling operations, moving, uncovering, loading, unloading, adding to or removing from stockpiles, dredging, grading, or handling of earth, dirt, soil, sand, sediment, aggregate, or similar materials, and vehicular movement associated with these activities) ~ ~ 3. Stockpiling? ~ ~ 4. Truck Loading/Unloading and/or Transport? ~ ~ 5. Track-Out Prevention and Control? (applies to sites where there is potential for trucks, equipment, or other vehicles to accumulate soil on their tires and or exterior surfaces prior to exiting the site) ~ ~ 6. Disturbed Surface Areas? ~ ~ 1 Use this box to indicate if there is more than one remedial phase applicable to the site (i.e., where PCB remedial activities are proposed to be carried out in separate actions taking place on different dates). If so, fill out a checklist for each remedial phase. 1 ------- Appendix B - Dust-Generating Activity & Sensitive Use Example Checklist 7.

Senior Care Center? ~ ~ 6. Other sensitive human use?4 ~ ~ 7. Sensitive ecological use?38 ~ ~ 2 The "Other" category may be used to write in other sources of fugitive dust not included in the checklist, such as demolition or renovation activities involving building materials containing PCBs. 3 See Appendix A "Dust Control Measures Definitions" for definitions applicable to Sensitive Uses. 4 Sensitive uses identified in this checklist are important but not exhaustive examples. For a particular cleanup site it may be relevant to consider other proximate uses requiring dust control measures, such as uses that may be listed in the PCB Regulations at 40 CFR 761.61(a)(4)(vi) [residential dwellings, hospitals, schools, nursing homes, playgrounds, parks, day care centers, endangered species habitats, estuaries, wetlands, national parks, national wildlife refuges, commercial fisheries, and sport fisheries] or 40 CFR 761.61(a)(l)(i) [surface or ground waters, sediments in marine and freshwater ecosystems, sewers or sewage treatment systems, private or public drinking water sources or distribution systems, grazing lands, or vegetable gardens]. 2 ------- |
