The potential exists for community exposure to hazardous materials
which have been, are or may be released during City-sponsored projects
(such as building expansion, infrastructure improvements, etc.). In
order to minimize (reduce or eliminate) the potential for hazardous
exposure to the public, appropriate site-specific environmental controls
can and should be implemented before and during project implementation.
Effective risk communication through public outreach and notification
should complement actual environmental controls.
Any project conducted by or on behalf of the City of Quincy
which has the potential to create a nuisance condition of air pollution
and which involves the application, removal, or repair of any material
deemed to be or to contain hazardous materials (including but not
limited to asbestos, lead, petroleum products, etc.) must include
a site- and project-specific environmental assessment and control
plan. Review and approval of the environmental assessment and control
plan by the Quincy Health Department must be received prior to the
commencement of the project. The environmental assessment and control
plan must include, at minimum, the following:
B. Safety and/or health hazard assessment which will evaluate any potential
environmental hazards generated by the project (including pre-monitoring
test requirements and ambient air testing requirements, as applicable).
[Amended 6-1-2020 by Order
No. 2020-012]
C. Operational plan which will include statements and references to
the applicable local, state and federal regulations and include site
control and containment measures (as applicable), along with detailed
health and safety procedures that will be required to be in effect
for the duration of the project.
