NESHAP applies to demolition and “renovation” (modification); requires prior inspection for presence of asbestos and remediation prior to demolition/renovation if possible; what’s the best way and time/place to do that? Is it necessary…
EPA’s 1-hour NO2 standard is low enough to potentially cause problems, and they require near-road monitoring to determine attainment. What are the best methods for modeling roadway and rail (non-electric) NO2 microscale impacts?…
If a project has known lead-contaminated soils, what are the best management practices for construction and maintenance activities in those areas for purposes of both worker safety and protection of nearby areas?…
