Weekly Activities

November 16, 2015: Grading and placement of the demarcation barrier has continued along the western and eastern edge of the property as well as the area along the bulkhead where the esplanade walkway will be installed. Compaction testing on compacted subgrade for the walkways has been performed and construction debris has been transported to an off-site disposal facility.

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 Monday, November 16, 2015 through Friday, November 20, 2015, four portable CAMP stations were in-use and measured TVOC and PM10. Fifteen-minute averages for TVOC and PM10 data remained below the Action Limit.

For the week of November 23, 2015, the Project will be shut down for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
