V* (COP.QCO) Interoffice Communication To L. B. Decker From D. palmer June 30, 1977 Subject Administrative Transfer of Environmental Air & Walter Programs to the Safety Department and the Laboratory Control Group Listed "below are suggested responsibilities for both the Safety Department and the Laboratory Control Group for maintenance of our Environmental Programs. I,"Safety Department Environmental Air Responsibilities" L, Routine Sample Collection - Frepare and update as required a routine air monitoring schedule meeting OSKA requirements and submit same to the Control Group Leader. Collect samples following this schedule whenever possible, otherwise give as much notice as possible of intended sampling to the Control Group Leader.. 2. Sample Preparation - Present samples to the laboratory in a manner .convenient to the Control Group for analysis, such as the transfer ring of charcoal from charcoal tubes to sample vials for analysis or transferring absorbing solutions from midget impingers into two-ounce bottles. Reagents relative to routine analyses (absorber solutions etc.) will be available from the Control Group. 3* Non-Routine Sample Collection - Requests for non-routine analyses and/or projects (e.g. recovery data) should be made to the Labora tory Project Group Leader for priority assignment to a Project Chemist persuant to his area of responsibility. 4. Pump Calibration and/or Equipment Maintenance - Personnel Doaipeter pumps will be calibrated and maintained by the Safety Department. 5. Record Keeping - Maintain permanent documentation of all environ mental air samples in accordance with OSHA regulations. Calculate personnel exposure limits of employees upon receipt of analytical . data from the Laboratory Control Group. Example - Benzene person nel dosimeter sampleBoth front and back sections of charcoal are submitted in separate vials to the control group for analysis for benzene (milligrams per vial). Results from the Laboratory are then returned to the Safety Department for conversion to mg/m^ utilizing _ volume data from pump calibrations. \ 6. Complaints - In addition to duties with respect to the "LCCP In-Plant Xy Response Procedure for Plant Emission Control", assume the duties of / V >, , v the Quality Control Chemist, Should non-routine laboratory assis tance be necessary, contact the Laboratory Project Group Leader. Routine area surveys involving Drager tubes, etc., will also ce the responsibility of the Safety Department, as well as the maintenance ' ' of adequate charcoal tube supply for immediate complaint response. MC-D 000011660 L. B. Decker June 30 9 3-977 Page 2 H#1 "Laboratory Control Grout) Environmental Air and Water Responsibilities" A. Environmental Air Pror.rz- - The control group will furnish the following routine analytical data to the Safety Department by schedule or request. A log sheet should be prepared by the Control Group Leader tor both air and water analyses for distribution of , results. 1. Gas Chromatographic Analyses a) Benzene b) Butanol c) Methanol d) Methyl Chloride 2. Dust Sampling Analyses a) Alumina b) Calcium hydroxide 3. Colorimetric Impinger Methods - Reagents will be stocked and available to Safety Department upon request. a) Ammonia B. Environmental Water Program 1. The Control Group will furnish analytical data to the Director of Environmental Control regarding water analyses. 2. The Control Group Leader will issue a monthly report summarizing water pollution data for said month. 3. The Control Group will maintain an EPA ledger indicating results of all EPA sampling as required by our NPDES Permit. III. "Training" Safety Department personnel will be instructed as to proper pump cali bration, record keeping practices, and exposure calculations by a member of the Laboratory Project Group. Laboratory Shift Supervisors will be instructed regarding particulars of new methods transferred to the Control Group by a member of the Project Group. Should you have questions, please advise.
