1.1 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
1 INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
Rayomer is implementing an ambient air quality monitonng program during dismantling
and cleanup activities at the former Rayonier Port Angeles pulp mill site. The monitoring
program was conducted as set forth in the Draft Ambient Air Work Plan and Procedures
(Rayonier 1997) and the final Ambient Air Monitonng Plan (Foster Wheeler
Environmental 1998). This report presents the results of the air monrtoring activities for
January 1998
The objectives of the Ambient Air Monitoring Plan are
1 Monitor ambient air quality for potential air pollutants related to onsite
activities,
2 Quantify potential offsite transport of project- related emissions; and
3 Assess the effectiveness of onsite emission control methods used during
dismantling and cleanup activities.
The site is a former pulp mill facility located at 700 North Ennis Street, Port Angeles,
WA. Rayomer received approval from the City of Port Angeles in July 1997 to dismantle
its former pulp mill facility Following this approval, Rayomer voluntarily committed to
develop and implement an air monrtonng program. Air monitoring commenced in
October 1997 and is currently ongoing.
The air monrtonng network consists of four sampling stations located as shown on
Figure 1 Air monitoring is conducted for potential air pollutants that may be generated
by site activities. The specific pollutants to be monitored and the sampling methods to be
used are based on the site activities conducted during the monitoring period.
Air quality action levels are established in the Ambient Air Monitoring Plan to use as an
indicator of the effectiveness of onsite emission control methods used during dismantling
and cleanup activities. In the event that single data point concentrations exceed the action
limit cntena, the contingency plan described in the monitoring plan will be implemented.

1.2 SUMMARY OF RESULTS
The results of the January 1998 air monitoring show that the air emission control methods
used during the dismantling work have been effective The air samples collected around
the perimeter of the work site were well below the air quality action levels that are used
as indicators of effectiveness of emission controls. Total suspended particulate matter
(TSP) monitors were operated at four sampling stations during eight monitoring events,
and dioxm/furan monitors were operated at three sampling stations during four
monitoring events. The monitoring activities followed the procedures presented in the
Ambient Air Monitonng Plan, with minor deviations as noted in this report.
A summary of the monitoring results follows
TSP measurements for the seven monitoring events during January 1998 ranged
from 2 9 µg /m to 19.5 µg /m the site action level is 150 µg /m
Dioxin/furan measurements for the three monitoring events during January 1998
ranged from 0 0024 to 0 0441 pg /m the site action level is 17 6 pg /m
(dioxm/furan concentrations are reported as 2,3,7,8- tetrachlorodibenzo p- dioxin
[TODD] equivalents [TEQs]);
No visible emissions of asbestos from dismantling activities were observed during
routine inspections, and
Onsite winds were generally light and primarily from the south southeast through
the west.
Site activities during this period included general dismantling, material handling, and
asbestos removal. The Washington State Department of Ecology, U S Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), and City of Port Angeles conducted several site visits and
inspections during this reporting period. No major structure dismantling activities (e.g.,
recovery boiler stack dismantling, digester dismantling, hog fuel boiler dismantling) or
site cleanup excavation activities occurred dunng January 1998
1.3 PLAN MODIFICATIONS
There are no plan modifications to be implemented based on the results of the January
1998 monitoring penod.

2. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
General dismantling and asbestos removal activities were underway dunng January 1998
These activities are presented along with the TSP momtonng data (Table 1) and with
dioxin/furan monitoring data ,;Table 2)
Dismantling of asbestos containing matenals occurred throughout January 1998 at the
Digestor Building, 5 and 6 Boilers and Recovery
No major structure dismantling activities (e g., recovery boiler stack dismantling, digester
dismantling, hog fuel boiler dismantling) or site cleanup excavation activities occurred
during January 1998
2.2 METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS
Onsite winds were generally light and primarily from the south southeast through the
west during the January 1998 sampling events. A summary of the meteorological
conditions during each sampling event, in the form of wind rose figures, is presented in
Appendix A. The monthly composite wind rose of the wind conditions during the
monthly sampling events is also presented in Appendix A.
2.3 TOTAL SUSPENDED PARTICULATE CONCENTRATIONS
The TSP momtonng results, along with the site activities on the sampling day, are
presented in Table 1 TSP monitoring events were conducted for approximately 24 hours
starting in the mormng on the date noted on Table 1
TSP measurements for the eight momtonng events during January 1998 ranged from 2.9
µg /m (Station 2 on January 6) to 19 5 µg /m (Station 3 on January 19) The site action
level is 150 µg /m
The highest TSP concentrations measured during January 1998 was 19.5 µg/m
measured on January 19 at Station 3 (located southwest of the pnmary dismantling area).
This TSP concentration is 13 percent of the 150 gg/m site action level. The three TSP
measurements from the other monitors on January 19 were 11 4, 9 4, and 17.3 p.g/m at
stations 1, 2, and 4, respectively Wind conditions on January 19 were light and
predominantly from the south southwest to the west southwest.

2.4 DIOXIN/FURAN CONCENTRATIONS
The dioxin/furan momtonng results, along with the site activities on the sampling day,
are presented in Table 2 Dioxm/furan momtonng events were conducted for
approximately 24 hours or 48 hours depending on the sampling event, starting in the
morning on the date noted on Table 2. The dioxin/furan toxicity equivalents (TEQs) are
calculated and reported using the EPA toxicity equivalence factors (TEFs) for the
detected congeners, as described in the Ambient Air Monitoring Plan. The TEQs are
calculated using the measured value for each detected congener If a congener was
detected in some samples but not in others, a value of one -half the detection limit was
used for calculating the TEQs for those non detected congeners.
Dioxm/furan measurements for the three momtonng events dunng January 1998 ranged
from a value of 0 0024 pg /m (Station 2 on January 6 -8) to 0 0441 pg /m (Station 2 on
January 19) The site action level is 17 6 pg /m
The highest dioxm/furan concentrations measured dunng January 1998 was 0 0441
pg/m measured on January 19 at Station 2 (located northwest of the pnmary mill
dismantling area) This highest dioxin/furan concentration is approximately three tenths
of one percent of the site action level. The dioxm/furan TEQ measurements from the
other monitors on January 19 were 0 0078 and 0 0072 pg /m at Stations 1 and 3,
respectively Wind conditions on January 19 were light, with the wind predominantly
from the south southwest through the west southwest.
2.5 ASBESTOS MONITORING
Visual inspection was conducted at site locations where asbestos containing matenal
removal occurs, in accordance with the Ambient Air Monitoring Plan. No visible
emission of asbestos from dismantling activities was observed based on reports from
routine inspections by Rayomer and the dismantling contractor personnel. Asbestos
momtonng is conducted to conform to the site action level of no visible emissions of
asbestos.
2.6 DEVIATIONS FROM THE MONITORING PLAN
The final Ambient Air Monitonng Plan (Foster Wheeler Environmental 1998) was
prepared subsequent to the January 1998 momtonng activities. The Draft Ambient Air
Work Plan (Rayomer 1997) was prepared in October 1997 to support the initial air
momtonng activities at the site. The January momtonng program generally followed the
procedures presented in the final Ambient Air Monitonng Plan, with the following
BECALVIN\VOL2 \WP\1834 \12061.DOC 5/11/98

exception. the sampling duration for the dioxin/furan monitoring event on January 6 -8
had an approximately 48 -hour duration, other sampling events had a duration of 24 hours.

3.1 FLOW CHECKS
3 DATA QUALITY
One point flow checks on the air samplers were conducted before and after each
doxin/Furan sample was collected, and before each TSP sample was collected.
3.2 TRIP BLANKS
Trip blanks were analyzed along with the regular TSP and doxin/Furan samples. Trip
blanks indicate the level of contamination of the sample media during shipping and
handling.
Eight TSP trip blanks were analyzed during the January 1998 sampling penod. No TSP
trip blank was shipped with the January 14 sample shipment and two TSP trip blanks
were shipped with the January 19 sample shipment. The mass of the eight trip blanks
ranged from not detected to 0 0003 g /sample.
Four dioxin/furan trip blanks were analyzed during the January 1997 sampling period.
These results are presented on Table 3
Table 3 Dioxin/Furan Trip Blank Analysis Results
Sample Date Dioxin/Furan TEQ Mass (pg /sample)
January 6 -8 None detected
January 13 None detected
January 20 None detected
January 27 None detected
3.3 LABORATORY METHOD BLANKS
Four doxin/Furan laboratory method blanks were analyzed along with the field samples.
Method blanks are laboratory quality control samples that monitor the concentration of
contamination that may be introduced into field samples as a result of processing in the
laboratory These results are presented on Table 4

January 13 None detected
January 20 None detected
January 27 None detected
3.4 SURROGATE RECOVERY
Surrogate compounds are also referred to as internal standards and are added to all field
and laboratory quality assurance samples (method blanks, laboratory control spikes) A
surrogate is a compound that is similar to the compound (or compounds) of interest, but
that is not normally found in environmental samples. Surrogates are added to samples to
monitor the effects of 1) the environmental matnx, 2) the sample preparation process, and
3) the analytical process on the recovery efficiency of sample contaminants. For January
the average surrogate recovery rates were within the acceptable range of 50 to 150
percent.
3.5 LABORATORY CONTROL SPIKES
Three laboratory control spikes (LCSs) were analyzed along with the field samples. The
LCS is prepared using a "blank" matrix (such as a clean filter) A known quantity of all
of the individual dioxm/furan isomers is added to the LCS sample. The LCS is processed
through the same laboratory preparation and analysis steps as the field samples, and
monitors the accuracy of the laboratory preparation and analysis process. Average
January LCS recovenes were within the acceptable range of 50 to 150 percent.
3.6 DATA COMPLETENESS
No samples were lost or broken in shipment and all submitted samples were analyzed.
All data are considered usable

DAILY SUMMARY OF METEOROLOGICAL DATA
Wind rose figures for each sampling event are presented in this appendix (Figures A -1, A -2,
and A -3) A wind rose depicts the point frequency of occurrence, in percent, of wind speed
and wind direction categones for a particular location and time penod. The radials of the
wind rose indicate the direction from which the wind is blowing. The length of each radial
indicates the frequency of occurrence for that direction, and the width of each radial
indicates the wind speed class. Each wind rose figure includes the penod from when the
first TSP or dioxin/furan monitor was turned on until the last monitor was turned off. A
composite wind rose of the meteorological data dunng each sampling event is also
presented. The wind roses are based on 10- minute observations obtained from the on -site
meteorological momtoring station.
