Data is presented for several methods of controlling contaminated dust at hazardous waste sites. Commercial dust suppressant products were applied to exposed areas and spoil storage piles to control wind erosion emissions. Windscreens were also used to control emissions from the storage piles. The chemical dust suppressants were effective in controlling wind erosion emissions in both applications. Windscreens were effective in reducing windspeed but did not produce commensurate reductions in particulate concentrations coming from the pile. Emissions generated by equipment movement during active cleanup were controlled by spraying the active work area with water and with a water-surfactant mixture. Emissions generated by loading soil into a truck were controlled with an array of spray nozzles mounted on the sides of the truck bed. A similar array of foam nozzles was also used to control loading emissions. All of these methods were effective in reducing emissions generated by active cleanup. |
