The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) have approved detailed design and air monitoring plans for all construction at Harbor Point. The plans, including operating procedures that will be overseen by both agencies, ensure that construction will be done in a way that protects human health, the environment, and the existing containment remedy.
Using EPA-approved methods and protocol, dust will be monitored in real-time 24 hours a day during the work week; dust is used as an indicator for chromium.
Hexavalent chromium samples will be collected over a 24-hour period each work day.
Monitoring will be performed at the work zones and the site perimeter.
Environmental professionals and government regulators will review results to ensure that air quality plans are being followed and actions are taken to control dust. The data will be posted below within the next business day. Hexavalent chromium results will be posted once independent laboratory results and validation reports are received from the independent, third-party data validating firm.
