AIR MONITORING SUMMARY REPORT SA RECYCLING – TERMINAL ISLAND
CONTRACT NO. 15-T4124 A-1 _____________________________________________________
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Geocon Consultants, Inc. prepared this Air Monitoring Summary Report in compliance with California
Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) Contract Number 15-T4124 A-1, Start Work Order #1.
This report summarizes air monitoring performed at SA Recycling – Terminal Island (SARTI) (the Site)
in Terminal Island, California (Figure 1, Vicinity Map). The work was conducted in accordance with the
DTSC-approved Sampling and Analysis Plan (SAP) dated September 30, 2016 (Geocon, 2016).
1.1 Background
Per the DTSC’s Start Work Order, metal shredding/recycling facilities process end-of-life vehicles, appliances,
and other forms of scrap metal to recover iron, steel, aluminum, and copper for re-use in new metal products.
The metal shredding process generates large amounts of metal shredder waste, which consists of plastics,
rubber, glass, foam, fabrics, automobile fluids, dirt, and residual metals. The metal shredding process can also
potentially create environmental contamination in the forms of stormwater runoff, contaminated soil,
contaminated groundwater, and fugitive air emissions. The purpose of air monitoring was to assess the
potential for fugitive air emissions from facilities generating metal shredding waste.
Although metal shredding waste typically does not exceed the federal regulatory levels established by the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), metal shredder waste has been regulated as a
California-only, non-RCRA hazardous waste since 1984 because residual levels of copper, lead, and zinc often
exceed California’s more stringent regulatory thresholds. Six large metal shredding facilities are currently
authorized by DTSC to conduct metal shredding operations. Five of the facilities treat the metal shredding
waste with a cement product which is intended to reduce the solubility of the metals and render the waste less
hazardous. The sixth facility transfers their waste out of state for further processing. The treated waste is then
disposed of in Class II or Class III landfills, where it is largely used as alternative daily cover.
Senate Bill (SB) 1249 (Hill, Chapter 756, Statutes of 2014) became law on January 1, 2015 and
authorizes DTSC “to adopt regulations establishing alternative management standards for metal
shredding facilities for hazardous waste management activities within the jurisdiction of the
Department of Toxic Substances Control, that would apply in lieu of the hazardous waste management
standards if the department performs specified actions” (SB 1249, Hill). SB 1249 authorizes the DTSC
to consider the development of alternative management standards for metal shredding facilities. The
DTSC has developed a 3-year plan to conduct the evaluation authorized by SB 1249, which includes an
assessment of the potential impacts from air emissions.
Air Monitoring Summary Report SA Recycling – Terminal Island
Geocon Project No. S9850-03-21 - 2 - December 23, 2016
The SAP describes air monitoring activities at the following metals shredding facilities:
SARTI in Terminal Island, California,
SA Recycling – Bakersfield (SARB) located at 2000 E. Brundage Lane in Bakersfield, California, and
Sims Metal Management (SMM) located at 699 Seaport Boulevard in Redwood City, California. These three facilities were selected to represent examples of larger (SARTI, SMM) and smaller
(SARB) metal shredding/recycling facilities that operate in a variety of different geographic conditions
and under the jurisdiction of various local Air Quality Management Districts (AQMD). At each facility
Geocon staff performed three consecutive 24-hour air monitoring events. Information from the air
monitoring events will be used to develop regulations establishing alternative management standards
for metal shredding facilities for hazardous waste management activities.
1.2 Responsible Agency
DTSC is the lead regulatory agency overseeing this air monitoring program. DTSC regulates hazardous
waste in California under the authority of RCRA and the California Health and Safety Code.

2.1 Facility Description
Site Name: SA Recycling – Terminal Island Site Address: 901 New Dock Street, Terminal Island, CA 90731 County: Los Angeles Site Operator: SA Recycling, LLC Local AQMD: South Coast Air Quality Management District Local AQMD Contact: Mohan Balagopalan (909) 396-2704 SARTI is in the Port of Los Angeles (POLA), on the southern shore of Cerritos Channel and
East Basin Channel on Terminal Island. The metal shredder is in the western-central portion of the Site
while the southeastern portion comprises a metal recovery plant (MRP) (Figure 2, Site Plan). Railroad
tracks along the western border of the Site are used to transport materials to and from the Site. A dock
used for loading and unloading cargo ships comprises the northern boundary. According to SARTI’s
webpage, this Site is not open to the public (SARTI website, 2016).
Properties surrounding the Site are used for heavy industrial purposes. These properties include POLA
Multi-Use Terminal adjacent to the east, New Dock Street and California State Route 47 to the south,
and a cargo terminal for loading and unloading shipping containers both adjacent to the west of the Site
and to the north across the East Basin of the POLA (POLA website, 2016). Surrounding properties and
facilities are shown on Figure 2, Site Plan.
2.2 Regional Climate and Wind Direction
Climate data for San Pedro, which is immediately west of Terminal Island, was used to represent
conditions at Terminal Island for the selection of sampling locations. The monthly average
temperatures range from the high-40s °F in January to the mid-70s °F in September. Annual average
precipitation for the San Pedro is 10.69 inches per year, with the lowest precipitation occurring from
June through August (WRCC, 2016). Wind direction data is obtained from the Long Beach Airport,
located approximately 7.1 miles northeast of SARTI (http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu, 2016). The
average wind speed ranges from 4.3 miles per hour (mph) in December to 6.4 mph in April. Higher
wind speeds typically occur from March through July. The most common wind directions throughout
the year are from the west-northwest and south. During the month of October, the average wind speed
is 4.9 mph with a predominant wind directions of west-northwest and south.

3.0 METHODS AND PROCEDURES
This section summarizes the activities to prepare for and the methods and sampling procedures utilized
during each of the three air monitoring events performed at the Site. Detailed information and protocols
for field methods are provided in the SAP (Geocon, 2016).
3.1 Pre-Field Activities
Geocon staff performed the following pre-field activities in preparation for air monitoring:
Performed a site visit on August 16, 2016, to meet with SARTI and DTSC staff and identify the sample locations at the Site.
Prepared a site-specific health and safety plan (HSP) to provide guidelines on the use of personal protective equipment and health and safety procedures to be implemented during the field activities. Field activities were conducted in accordance with the HSP prepared for the air monitoring at SARTI. A copy of the HSP is in Appendix A.
Retained CHESTER LabNet (CLN), a National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP)-certified laboratory in Tigard, Oregon, to provide gravimetric and metals analysis of air samples.
Retained EMSL Analytical Inc. (EMSL), a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and NELAP-certified laboratory in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, to provide asbestos and volatile organic compounds (VOC) analysis of air samples.
Retained Eurofins Calscience (ECS), a California ELAP and NELAP-certified laboratory in Garden Grove, California, to perform polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) analysis of air samples.
Retained Eurofins Air Toxics (EAT), a California ELAP and NELAP-certified laboratory in Folsom, California, to perform formaldehyde analysis of air samples.
3.2 Sampling Locations
As described in Section 2.2, the anticipated wind directions during the monitoring events were from the
west-northwest and south. During the August 16, 2016 site visit, SARTI staff stated that they
anticipated the predominant wind direction during the monitoring event would be from the south.
Therefore the four air sampling locations included one upwind (SARTI1), one downwind (SARTI2),
and two crosswind (SARTI3 and SARTI4) location.. SARTI5 was a collocated duplicate sampling
location for SARTI2 and was sampled in accordance with the schedule for quality assurance/quality
control sampling schedule in the SAP. Sample locations are shown on Figure 2. Photos 1 through 4
provide images of the sample equipment in reference to the sample locations.
3.3 Sampling Equipment
At each sampling location, air samples were collected using the equipment in Table T3.3A:

A diesel-powered generator was used to supply power to the TSP, PM10, PM2.5, and PCB samplers
located at SARTI2 and SARTI5. Onsite electrical outlets were used to power the TSP, PM10, PM2.5,
and PCB sampling equipment at the remaining sampling locations. Rechargeable batteries were used to
power the asbestos and formaldehyde samplers. Power was not needed for the TOS samplers.
Spatial arrangement of samplers in each location (i.e., distance between samplers, height above ground
surface) were in accordance with the sampling placement requirements listed in 40 CFR Appendix E to Part 58 - Probe and Monitoring Path Siting Criteria for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring [United
States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), 2015] and comments provided by the Bay Area Air
Quality Management District (Stevenson, 2016). As such, requirements for sampler spacing were
relative to the sampling unit inlet (edge) and conformed to Table T3.3B:

Additionally, inlets were greater than 2 meters (m) away from supporting structures (like walls,
parapets, or penthouses), greater than 10 m from trees, and between 2 and 10 m from roadways. Inlets
also had unrestricted airflow and were located away from obstacles so that the distance from the
obstacle to the inlet was at least twice the height that the obstacle protruded above the inlet.
3.4 Calibration and Leak Check Testing
The TSP, PM10, PM2.5, asbestos, PCB, and formaldehyde sampling equipment was calibrated onsite on
October 11, 2016. Calibration and leak check activities were performed once the equipment was set up
at a sampling location and prior to its first use. Calibration and leak check procedures were performed
in accordance with the calibration schedule in Table 3 of the SAP. A copy of the field log, which
contains additional information about the calibration and leak check testing, is in Appendix B.
3.4.1 TSP Calibration
Calibration included attaching a calibrated orifice and water manometer to each sampler, operating
each device with the orifice at five positions that varied the flow rate into the sampler, and recording
the measurements of the water manometer for each position directly into the TE-5170V Sampler Calibration Worksheet (Appendix C). Leak checks were performed by covering the top of the orifice
and listening for a high-pitched squeal. The calculated flow rates and total flows for the TSP sampling
equipment are in Table T3.4.1:

Notes: m3/min = cubic meters per minute m3 = cubic meters No leaks were identified and observed flow rates were acceptable to achieve the desired reporting
limits for a 24-hour sample specified in the SAP (Geocon, 2016).
3.4.2 PM10 and PM2.5 Calibration Activities
Calibration included measuring temperature and pressure using calibrated temperature and barometric
pressure devices, and entering the measurements into the samplers at the appropriate calibration input
screen. Flows were calibrated by placing a calibrated flow standard on the intake of the sampler and
running the flow calibration program for the sampler. External leak checks were performed by
Air Monitoring Summary Report SA Recycling – Terminal Island
Geocon Project No. S9850-03-21 - 7 - December 23, 2016
installing a closed flow rate adapter to the sample inlet and running the leak check program on the
sampler. Internal leak checks were performed by installing internal leak check disks into the samplers
and running the internal leak check program on the sampler. The calibration results for the PM10 and
PM2.5 sampling equipment were recorded in Geocon’s field log (Appendix B) and on the PM10 and
PM2.5 alarm logs on each unit (Appendices D and E, respectively). The calculated flow rates for the
PM10 and PM2.5 sampling equipment are provided in Table T3.4.2:

3.4.3 PCB Calibration Activities
Calibration included attaching a calibrated orifice and water manometer to each sampler, operating
each device with the orifice at five positions that varied the flow rate into the sampler, and recording
the measurements of the water manometer for each position directly into the TE-1000 PUF Calibration Worksheet (Appendix F). The calculated flow rates and total flows for the PCB sampling equipment
are in Table T3.4.3.

The observed flow rates were acceptable to achieve the desired reporting limits for a 24-hour sample
specified in the SAP (Geocon, 2016).
3.4.4 Formaldehyde and Asbestos Calibration Activities
The formaldehyde and asbestos sampling equipment were calibrated on October 11, 2016. Information
from the calibration was recorded in Geocon’s field notes (Appendix B). Calibration included attaching
a calibrated rotometer to each sampler, operating each device and adjusting the flow rates of the
formaldehyde and asbestos samplers to 2.0 and 1.0 liters per minute (lpm), respectively. The observed
flow rates were acceptable to achieve the desired reporting limits for a 24-hour sample specified in the
SAP (Geocon, 2016).
3.5 Air Sampling Description
The three 24-hour monitoring events (T1, T2, and T3) were performed between
October 11 and 14, 2016. The following sub-sections summarize the activities performed during each
event and describe the facility operations during each event.
3.5.1 First Monitoring Event (T1)
After calibrating and installing the appropriate sample media in each sampling device, Geocon staff
began the first 24-hour monitoring event by turning on the sampling equipment for SARTI1 at 1430 on
October 11, 2016. Minutes later, Geocon staff turned on sampling equipment at locations at SARTI4,
SARTI2, and SARTI3 at 1505, 1515, and 1525, respectively. Geocon staff checked on the status of the
sampling equipment after approximately 6 and 18 hours of runtime. After 24 hours, Geocon staff ended
T1 by turning off the sampling equipment at each location, and retrieved and stored the sample media.
No field-based QC parameters were performed during T1.
SARTI staff’s activity log (Appendix G) summarizes receiving, processing, shipping and dust control
procedures for each day of the week of October 10, 2016. For the facility processes, an average of the hours
listed for October 11 and 12, 2016 was assumed because the monitoring event took place across both days.
Approximately 4.5 hours of metals shredding occurred during T1. The MRP operated approximately
8.8 hours while shearing, torch cutting, and welding/fabrication occurred for approximately 9.5, 2.3, and
15.5 hours each, respectively. An average of 106.5 trucks unloaded material on the Site and 7.5 trucks and
containers were loaded and hauled offsite. Three open-topped rail cars were unloaded but no rail cars were
moved nor train engines operated during T1. Two different types of sweepers were operated including a
Tymco sweeper, which is used to clean the street leading up to the main gate of and the haul roads around
the scales and warehouse, and the manual sweeper is used around the shredder, MRP, and piles. The Tymco
and manual sweepers operated for approximately 10 and 2 hours, respectively, and water trucks sprayed
water across the ground surface for approximately 11.5 hours.

Geocon Project No. S9850-03-21 - 9 - December 23, 2016
3.5.2 Second Monitoring Event (T2)
At the completion of T1, Geocon staff replaced the sample media in each of the pumps, then began the
next 24-hour monitoring event as soon as practicable. The process of finishing T1 and beginning T2
took approximately 2 hours. T2 began by turning on the sampling equipment for SARTI1, SARTI4,
SARTI3, and SARTI2/SARTI5 at 1630, 1645, 1700 and 1715, respectively.
Geocon staff checked on the status of the sampling equipment after approximately 5.5 and 18 hours of
runtime. Sometime between the 5.5- and 18-hour system check the TSP sampler at SARTI2, PCB
sampler at SARTI3, and the asbestos pump at SARTI5 stopped working. Based on the hour meters on
the TSP and PCB samplers, the systems were not operating between for 12.32 and 8.68 hours during
T2, respectively. Because there were no hour meters on the asbestos pumps, the sampler at SARTI5 is
assumed to have been down from immediately after the 5.5-hour system check during T2. The TSP and
PCB samplers were shut down due to mechanical issues with their mechanical timers and the asbestos
sampler was shut down because of a faulty battery and battery charger. Geocon staff repaired the
equipment and resumed collecting samples by 1200 on October 13, 2016. No other equipment issues
were noted during T2.
After 24 hours, Geocon staff ended T2 by turning off the sampling equipment at each location, and
retrieving and storing the sample media.
Field-based QC parameters performed during T2 included collection of collocated samples and field
blanks. Collocated samples, also referred to as duplicate samples for air sampling, were collected and
analyzed to check for sampling and analysis error, reproducibility, and homogeneity. Collocated
samples SARTI2 (primary sample) and SARTI5 (duplicate sample) were obtained from two identically
configured sampler sets operating simultaneously in one location. Field blanks were collected and
analyzed to assess the possible contamination of samples before, during, and after sample collection.
Each field blank consisted of a clean filter that was placed onto the air sampler and then taken off
without running the sampler. Geocon staff collected a field blank sample from location SARTI1 in
between T1 and T2.
For the facility processes, an average of the hours listed for October 12 and 13, 2016 was assumed
because the sampling took place across both days. Approximately 3.8 hours of metals shredding
occurred during T2. The MRP operated approximately 8.4 hours while shearing, torch cutting, and
welding/fabrication occurred for approximately 9, 2.5, and 16.5 hours each, respectively. An average
of 79.5 trucks unloaded material on the Site and 10 trucks and containers were loaded and hauled
offsite. No rail cars were loaded or moved and no train engines operated during T2. Dust controls
performed at the Site during T2 included 13 hours of watering the ground surface and 2 hours of
sweeping and 10 hours of Tymco sweeping.

3.5.3 Third Monitoring Event (T3)
At the completion of T2, Geocon staff replaced the sample media in each of the pumps, then began the
next 24-hour monitoring event as soon as practicable. The process of finishing T2 and beginning T3
took approximately 2 hours. T3 began by turning on the sampling equipment for SARTI3,
SARTI2/SARTI5, SARTI4, and SARTI1 at 1910, 1915, 1922 and 1930, respectively.
Geocon staff checked on the status of the sampling equipment after approximately 13.5 hours of
runtime. During the sampling equipment check, Geocon staff noticed that the 6-liter Summa canister
collecting sample SARTI1-T3-TOS was sampling at a faster than anticipated rate. At 1230 and after a
sampling duration of 17 hours, collection of sample SARTI1-T3-TOS was stopped. No replacement
canister was available to collect a sample during the remaining 7 hours. No other equipment issues
were noted during T3.
After 24 hours, Geocon staff ended T3 by turning off the sampling equipment at each location, and
retrieved and stored the sample media.
Field-based QC parameters performed during T3 included collection of collocated samples, field
blanks and filter blanks. Collocated samples SARTI2 (primary sample) and SARTI5 (duplicate sample)
were obtained from two identically configured sampler sets operating simultaneously in one location.
Geocon staff collected a field blank sample from location SARTI4 in between T2 and T3. Filter blanks
(sometimes referred to as trip blanks for air sampling) were collected and analyzed to assess the
contamination of samples from the native presence of target analytes in the filters used for air sample
collection. Each filter blank consisted of a clean filter that was transported with the associated primary
samples, but was not taken out of its protective sleeve. One filter blank was collected after T3.
For the other facility processes, an average of the hours listed for October 13 and 14, 2016 was
assumed because the monitoring event took place across both days. Approximately 3.8 hours of metals
shredding occurred during T3. The MRP operated approximately 4.3 hours while shearing, torch
cutting, and welding/fabrication occurred for approximately 10.3, 0.6, and 11 hours each, respectively.
An average of 84 trucks unloaded material on the Site and 10 trucks and containers were loaded and
hauled offsite. No rail cars were loaded or moved and no train engines operated during T3. Dust
controls performed at the Site during T3 included 13.5 hours of watering the ground surface and 7.5
hours of sweeping and 10 hours of Tymco sweeping.
3.6 Meteorological Conditions
A Davis Vantage Pro2 weather monitoring station recorded site-specific data for wind direction, speed,
temperature, relative humidity, and pressure during the three monitoring events. Weatherlink®
software and a data logger allowed monitoring and downloading of the site-specific data. The location
Air Monitoring Summary Report SA Recycling – Terminal Island
Geocon Project No. S9850-03-21 - 11 - December 23, 2016
of the weather station during the monitoring events is shown on the Site Plan, Figure 2. The
meteorological data is in Appendix G.
3.7 Packaging and Shipping
Geocon staff shipped the asbestos and TOS samples via 2-day shipping under standard
chain-of-custody (COC) to EMSL on October 15, 2016. Geocon staff shipped the TSP, PM10, and
PM2.5 samples via overnight delivery under standard COC to CLN on October 15, 2016. Geocon staff
delivered the PCB and formaldehyde samples to ECS under standard COC on October 15, 2016. ECS
then transported the formaldehyde samples to EAT, which received them on October 19, 2016.
The following summarizes the sample packaging procedures used for the proposed investigation:
Sample and QA/QC containers were placed into re-sealable plastic storage bags that were put into the sample coolers. Blue ice bags were packed on top and around the samples to maintain an appropriate temperature in the cooler.
Empty space in sample coolers was filled with bubble wrap to prevent sample containers from shifting during transportation to the laboratory.
The appropriate COC(s) associated with the sample cooler were double-bagged in re-sealable plastic bags and placed inside the cooler.
3.8 Laboratory Analysis
CLN analyzed the samples for the following:
TSP - 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix B to Part 50 Reference Method for the Determination of Suspended Particulate Matter in the Atmosphere (USEPA, 1998);
PM10 - 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix J to Part 50 Reference Method for the Determination of Particulate Matter as PM10 in the Atmosphere (USEPA, 1998), 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L to Part 50 Reference Method for the Determination of Particulate Matter as PM2.5 in the Atmosphere (USEPA, 1998) and Quality Assurance Guidance Document 2.12 – Monitoring PM2.5 in Ambient Air Using Designated Reference or Class I Equivalent Methods (USEPA, 2016);
PM2.5 - 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L to Part 50 Reference Method for the Determination of Particulate Matter as PM2.5 in the Atmosphere (USEPA, 1998) and Quality Assurance Guidance Document 2.12 – Monitoring PM2.5 in Ambient Air Using Designated Reference or Class I Equivalent Methods (USEPA, 2016);
EMSL analyzed the samples for the following:
Asbestos – Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)-modified transmission electron microscopy (TEM) as found in 40 CFR part 763 Appendix A Subpart E (USEPA, 1987);
VOCs - USEPA method TO-15 (USEPA, 1999c).
Air Monitoring Summary Report SA Recycling – Terminal Island
Geocon Project No. S9850-03-21 - 12 - December 23, 2016
ECS and EAT respectively analyzed the samples for the following:
PCBs – USEPA method TO-4A (USEPA, 1999a).
Formaldehyde – USEPA method TO-11A (USEPA, 1999b).
3.9 Variance from SAP
Sample location SARTI4 was relocated approximately 50 feet southwest from the location proposed in
the SAP. The Site Plan (Figure 2) shows the modified sampling location for SARTI4. Changing the
sampling location allowed for the sampling equipment to be powered by onsite electrical outlets and
avoided the need to use scissor lifts to elevate the samples due to stacked trailers at the originally
proposed location. DTSC staff approved of this modification in an e-mail dated October 10, 2016.
As described in Section 3.5.2, Geocon staff checked on the status of the sampling equipment after
approximately 5.5 and 18 hours of runtime during T2. Sometime between the 5.5 and 18 hours system
checks, the TSP sampler at SARTI2, PCB sampler at SARTI3, and the asbestos pump at SARTI5
stopped working. Based upon the hour meters on the TSP and PCB samplers, the systems were not
operating between for 12.32 and 8.68 hours during T2, respectively. Because there were no hour
meters on the asbestos pumps, the sampler at SARTI5 is assumed to have been down from immediately
after the 5.5-hour system check during T2. The TSP and PCB samplers were shut down due to
mechanical issues with their mechanical timers and the asbestos sampler was shut down because of a
faulty battery and battery charger. Geocon staff repaired the equipment and resumed collecting samples
by 1200 on October 13, 2016. Because collocated sampling was being performed at SARTI2 and
SARTI5 during T2, representative 24-hour samples from the collected samplers (SARTI5 for TSP and
SARTI2 for asbestos) were collected. SARTI3 was not a collocated sampling location and therefore the
PCB concentrations should be qualified being representative of a 15-hour sampling duration and is not
representative of overnight and early morning (midnight to 10 AM) conditions.
As described in Section 3.5.3, the 6-liter Summa canister collecting sample SARTI1-T3-TOS was
observed sampling at a rate that was faster than anticipated. As a result, collection of this sample
stopped after a sampling duration of 17 hours when the canister only had 3 inches of mercury vacuum
remaining. SARTI1 was not a collocated sampling location and therefore the TOS concentrations
should be qualified being representative of a 17-hour sampling duration and is not representative of
afternoon to early evening (1230 to 1930) conditions.
Data from SARTI’s onsite weather station is used to represent the meteorological conditions at the Site
instead of Geocon’s weather station.

4.0 RESULTS
This section presents the laboratory analytical results for samples collected during the three monitoring
events and an evaluation of the quality of the data reported by the laboratory.
4.1 Analytical Results
The results of the gravimetric and metals analyses for the TSP, PM10, and PM2.5 samples are shown in
Tables 1 through 3, respectively. The results of the analyses for asbestos, PCBs, formaldehyde, and
TOS samples are shown in Tables 4 through 7, respectively. Copies of the analytical reports are in
Appendix H.
Following are our observations with respect to the analytical results:
4.1.1 TSP
The greatest TSP concentrations were detected in samples from SARTI4, followed by SARTI1, SARTI2, and SARTI3. Potential reasons for SARTI4 having the greatest concentrations are that the sample location was the closest of the four sample locations to stockpile material, was downwind (when the wind was from the northwest) of the both stockpiled materials and metal shredder, and was in a relatively dirtier and dustier area of the Site.
Comparing the results from each of the three monitoring events, the greatest TSP concentrations were detected in samples collected during monitoring event T3, followed by T2, and T1. Worth noting is that of the three days monitored, T3 coincided with the slowest average wind speed, the shortest duration of metal shredding, MRP production, torching, welding/fabrication, and manual sweeping, and the longest durations of shearing and watering the ground surface. T1 coincided with the fastest average wind speed, the longest duration of metal shredding, MRP production, and the shortest duration of manual sweeping. One possible explanation for why the greatest TSP concentrations were during T3 is that there was more material being stored onsite compared to T1. Because the facility was in the process of accruing material to load another freighter ship, the amount of material at the Site increased each day.
The TSP metals with the highest concentrations were iron at 8.046 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3), calcium at 5.951 µg/m3, sulfur at 2.224 µg/m3, aluminum at 0.7887 µg/m3, and potassium at 0.7630 µg/m3.
4.1.2 PM10
The greatest PM10 concentrations were detected in samples from SARTI4, followed by SARTI1, SARTI2, and SARTI3.
Comparing the results from each of the three monitoring events, the greatest PM10 concentrations were detected in samples collecting during monitoring event T3, followed by T2, and T1.
Air Monitoring Summary Report SA Recycling – Terminal Island
Geocon Project No. S9850-03-21 - 14 - December 23, 2016
The PM10 metals with the greatest concentrations were iron at 2.786 µg/m3, calcium at 1.784 µg/m3, sulfur at 1.595 µg/m3, silicon at 1.585 µg/m3, and sodium at 0.9007 µg/m3.
4.1.3 PM2.5
The greatest PM2.5 concentrations were detected in samples from SARTI4, followed by SARTI1, SARTI2, and SARTI3.
Comparing the results from each of the three monitoring events, the greatest PM2.5 concentrations were detected in samples collected during monitoring event T3, followed by T2, and T1.
The PM2.5 metals with the greatest concentration were sulfur at 1.120 µg/m3, iron at 0.4986 µg/m3, sodium at 0.2874 µg/m3, silicon at 0.1982 µg/m3, and calcium at 0.1209 µg/m3.
4.1.4 Asbestos
Asbestos was not detected at concentrations greater than or equal to the reporting limit in any of the
samples analyzed.
4.1.5 PCBs
PCBs were not detected at concentrations greater than or equal to the reporting limit in any of the
samples analyzed.
4.1.6 Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde was detected in each of samples analyzed at masses from 1.8 to 3.3 µg.
4.1.7 VOCs
Toluene, xylenes, chloromethane, Freon 12, Freon 11, and were detected in at least one TOS sample.
Benzene, ethylbenzene, 4-ethyltoluene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene 1,1-dichloroethene, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene,
and vinyl chloride were not detected at concentrations equal to or greater than their reporting limits in any of
the samples analyzed.
4.2 Data Quality Analysis
The analytical data was reviewed as described in Section 10 of the SAP. Appendix I includes the
complete data quality assessment for the three air monitoring events. In summary, the laboratory
reported that the samples were received in good condition and that the QC samples analyzed met the
minimum requirements for acceptability. Analysis of the field duplicate samples identified multiple
analytes, mostly metals that had relative percent differences exceeding 20%. However, this variability
of 16 of the metals can be at least moderately attributed to the variability inherent in the filter sample
media.

Following are our observations with respect to the metrological measurements:
There was measurable wind nearly continuously during each sampling event. Wind speeds of 0 mph were recorded for only 10 of the 154 observations recorded during monitoring events T1, T2, and T3.
The peak wind speeds for each monitoring event generally occurred between noon and 6:00 PM with the lowest wind speeds generally occurring from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
The wind directions were variable during each monitoring event. During monitoring event T1, the most frequently occurring wind direction measured was from the northwest, occurring 18% of the time. However, wind directions from southwesterly and southeasterly variations also occurred. A breakdown of the frequency of similar directions for T1 and upwind, cross-wind, and downwind positions of the sample locations is in Table 4.3B.
