PortsDemo - Project Monitoring

As DOE prepared for demolition of the site’s process buildings, DOE worked with health and safety experts, the Ohio Department of Health and the Ohio EPA to develop additional environmental monitoring layers to focus on demolition activities.

The data for all the monitors is reported here weekly and monthly.

Data Dashboard

Green

 

Green: All recent data is below the protective limit.

Yellow: Non-radiological environmental events such as wildfires.

Red: Recent data has temporarily been above a protective limit.

Data Education

The safety of our workers, our community and the environment is DOE’s top priority. DOE and contractors work hard to make sure communities near our facilities maintain a safe and healthy environment. To do this, the Department has a robust environmental monitoring program that meets or exceeds state and national regulatory standards.

Weekly

Real-time data is gathered for dust (particulate matter) and radiation (Alpha/Beta).  Real-time data is reported weekly.  The real-time monitors include the process building demolition monitors and monitors A50, A51, A52, A53, A54, and A72.  The real-time monitors are an early warning system for any possible releases.

Particulate Matter PM2.5

PM2.5 is very small dust or droplets, also called particulate matter, that are two and one half microns or less. PM2.5 is measured at monitors A50, A51, A52, A53, A54, A72, X326-A01, and X326-A06.

Particulate Matter PM10

PM10 is small dust or droplets, also called particulate matter, that are ten microns or less. PM10 is measured at monitors A50, A51, A52, A53, A54, A72, X326-A01, and X326-A06.

Alpha/Beta

Alpha/Beta is an airborne alpha and beta radioactivity on dust particles. Alpha/Beta is measured at monitors NF-01, NF-02, NF-03, NF-04, and NF-05.

Monthly

Monthly reported data is gathered for dust (particulate matter), chemicals, metals, and asbestos.  Samples are taken at regular times during the month and analyzed for the monthly report.  The monitors reported monthly are the DOE/OEPA Co-located monitors.

This graph will be updated monthly.
