Request a ConsultationThe High Stakes of Air Quality in Soil Reclamation
Every soil remediation project—from brownfield redevelopment to Superfund cleanup—creates fugitive air emissions. The very act of excavation, grading, and treatment releases dust and vapors that can impact your workers, the surrounding community, and your bottom line. Uncontrolled emissions lead to significant risks.
Costly Fines & Violations
Non-compliance with strict regulations like SCAQMD Rule 1466 and NYSDEC DER-10 can result in significant financial penalties and legal liability.
Project Delays & Work Stoppages
A single air quality exceedance can trigger a mandatory work stoppage, idling expensive equipment and labor and putting your entire project schedule at risk.
Community Complaints & Reputational Damage
Protecting the "downwind community" is paramount. Transparent, verifiable air quality data is essential for maintaining public trust and avoiding negative attention.
StacGuard: Your Proactive Air Monitoring Solution
StacGuard is more than just a monitor; it's a business continuity tool engineered for the unique challenges of soil reclamation sites. Our rugged, rapid-deployment platform provides continuous, real-time data on particulates (PM10, PM2.5) and VOCs, giving you the actionable intelligence needed to manage emissions proactively. Move from reactive reporting to proactive control and turn your compliance burden into a competitive advantage.
From Data to Defensibility: A System Built for Your Site
Real-Time, Multi-Parameter Monitoring
Simultaneously measure Total VOCs, PM₁₀, and PM₂.₅ to get a complete picture of your site's emissions profile.
Benefit:
Confidently manage sites with co-mingled contaminants and demonstrate comprehensive control over all regulated air pollutants.
Integrated Meteorological Station
On-site wind speed and direction data is logged with every air quality measurement.
Benefit:
Automatically and definitively distinguish between your site's emissions and background sources, providing the indisputable data needed to prove compliance.
Automated Action-Level Alerts
Receive instant SMS and email notifications when pollutant levels approach your custom, pre-set thresholds.
Benefit:
Empower your site supervisor to take immediate corrective action—like increasing dust suppression—*before* a regulatory limit is breached, preventing costly work stoppages.
Secure Cloud Platform & Automated Reporting
All data is securely logged and accessible 24/7 via our web portal, with automated reports formatted for regulatory submission.
Benefit:
Eliminate hours of administrative work and create an unalterable, time-stamped data record for ultimate legal and regulatory defensibility.
Rugged, Rapid-Deployment Design
A field-ready, solar-power optional system that can be set up in under an hour and easily relocated as your project evolves.
Benefit:
Ensure continuous, reliable perimeter monitoring that adapts to the dynamic nature of your work zone without requiring complex infrastructure.
Navigate the Regulatory Maze with Confidence
The StacGuard platform is engineered to meet the specific requirements of the most stringent federal, state, and local air quality mandates. Achieve turn-key compliance and simplify your reporting with a single, powerful tool.
| Regulation / Requirement | Key Mandate | The StacGuard Solution |
|---|---|---|
| SCAQMD Rule 1466 | Real-time PM₁₀ monitoring with 1-minute data logging and heated inlet. | Features SCAQMD pre-approved PM₁₀ sensor with heated inlet and configurable 1-minute data logging. |
| SCAQMD Rule 1466 | Cease work if site contribution exceeds 25 µg/m³ (2-hr rolling average). | Automated software calculates the upwind/downwind differential in real-time and sends alerts *before* the threshold is breached, enabling proactive dust control to prevent work stoppages. |
| NYSDEC DER-10 CAMP | Real-time monitoring for VOCs and particulates at upwind and downwind locations. | Integrated system provides simultaneous VOC and PM monitoring. Software uses live meteorological data to automatically designate upwind/downwind status. |
| NYSDEC DER-10 CAMP | Protect the downwind community from airborne contaminants. | Fenceline placement and real-time alerts ensure immediate notification of any potential off-site migration, providing verifiable proof of community protection. |
| U.S. EPA NESHAP | Control of Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) emissions from site remediation. | Provides continuous, defensible data on VOCs and other HAPs, demonstrating effective control and compliance with MACT standards. |
| General CAMP Requirements | Maintain detailed logs of monitoring data, meteorological conditions, and corrective actions. | Secure, cloud-based platform automatically logs all data points, alerts, and system calibrations, creating an indelible, auditable record for regulatory review. |
Proven in the Field on Demanding Remediation Projects
Averting Delays at an Urban Brownfield Redevelopment
Challenge: A time-sensitive redevelopment project faced constant threats of work stoppages due to shifting winds and strict dust regulations.
Solution: A network of StacGuard units provided proactive alerts, enabling the site supervisor to preemptively control dust before limits were exceeded.
Result: The project was completed on schedule with zero work stoppages, saving an estimated tens of thousands in downtime and providing a perfect compliance record to the local air board.
Ensuring Community Safety at a Superfund Site
Challenge: A cleanup adjacent to a residential neighborhood required absolute proof of safety and containment to satisfy the EPA and a concerned community.
Solution: StacGuard's fenceline monitoring and public-facing data dashboard provided complete transparency on air quality performance.
Result: Maintained community trust throughout the project and delivered an unimpeachable, minute-by-minute data record that facilitated a smooth and successful project closure.
