Tudor Wharf Draft Environmental Impact Report EOEA # 6744 



11.4 Air and Water Quality 



Air and water quality impacts during 

 construction will be minor. The scope of 

 the proposed development is limited, and 

 mitigating measures will be implemented 

 to further minimize the potential range 

 of impacts. During construction, short 

 term air quality impacts can be expected 

 from fugitive dust from demolition, and 

 construction vehicle emissions. In 

 accordance with D.E.Q.E. regulations, 

 measures will be taken to control 

 fugitive dust emissions. These measures 

 include the daily watering of exposed 

 surfaces to prevent dust. 



The additional contribution to background 

 levels of air quality from construction 

 vehicles will be minimal. It is expected 

 that only four to six construction 

 vehicles will be on site at any time and 

 that CO emissions from these vehicles 

 would be insignificant relative to the 

 emissions generated from the heavy 

 automobile traffic on the Charlestown 

 Bridge. 



Water quality impacts will be generated 

 by the debris entering the harbor during 

 wharf demolition, from pile driving for 

 the pier and the parking garage and from 

 the dredging. Due care will be exercised
