3.5 ASBESTOS-CONTAINING ROOFING MATERIAL REMOVAL PROCEDURES

A. Roofing materials shall not be sanded, abraded, or ground and must be removed using manual methods so that the material remains intact. Depending upon the friability of the material, removal of intact roof cements, mastics, coatings, and flashings may not be Class II removal work. The personnel impacting roofing materials must be knowledgeable of the revised paragraph (g)(8)(ii) of the OSHA Standard 29 CFR



1926.1101 and comply with all aspects of the Standard. B. Prior to the start of the job the roof must be examined by a competent person to

determine whether the roofing material is intact and is likely to remain intact throughout the job.

C. Personnel impacting the roofing materials must be trained in the hazardous of

asbestos exposure and proper work practices and prohibitions applicable to such work. If these conditions are not met, then the job must be treated as a Class II OSHA removal.

D. The following procedures are to be used:

1. Demarcate work area using barrier tape. 2. Approved warning signs shall be posted at appropriate entrances to active work. 3. A worker decontamination facility shall be installed in close proximity to the

active work area. Barrier tape to demark the ingress/egress route from the active work area to the decontamination facility shall be erected.

4. The asbestos-containing material shall be sprayed with a penetrating mist prior to

the actual removal process. The penetrating mist (amended water) is an aqueous solution of polyoxyethylene esters of mixed organic acids (47%) and polyoxyethylene ether of alkylated phenols (47%) and a silicone defoaming agent. The wetting agent shall be mixed in proportions consistent with the manufacturer's instructions.

5. Manual hand tools shall be used to fullest extent possible to remove the roofing

materials to minimize the potential for the material to become friable.

6. The parts of the roofing system to remain if any, shall be protected.

7. Roofing material shall be removed in an intact state to the extent feasible.

8. Wet methods shall be used to remove roofing materials that are not intact, or that will be rendered not intact during removal, unless such wet methods are not feasible or will create safety hazards as defined by the CP.

9. When removing built-up roofs with asbestos-containing roofing felts and an aggregate surface using a power roof cutter, all dust resulting from the cutting operation shall be collected by a HEPA dust collector, or shall be HEPA vacuumed by vacuuming along the cut line. When removing built-up roofs with asbestos-containing roofing felts and a smooth surface using a power roof cutter,



the dust resulting from the cutting operation shall be collected either by a HEPA dust collector or HEPA vacuuming along the cut line, or by gently sweeping and then carefully and completely wiping up the still-wet dust and debris left along the cut line.

10. Asbestos-containing material that has been removed from a roof shall not be dropped or thrown to the ground. Unless the material is carried or passed to the ground by hand, it shall be lowered to the ground via covered, dust-tight chute, crane or hoist.

11. Any ACM that is not intact shall be lowered to the ground as soon as is

practicable, but in any event no later than the end of the work shift. While the material remains on the roof it shall either be kept wet, placed in an impermeable waste bag, or wrapped in plastic sheeting.

12. Intact ACM shall be lowered to the ground as soon as is practicable, but in any

event no later than the end of the work shift.

13. Upon being lowered, unwrapped material shall be transferred to a closed receptacle in such manner so as to preclude the dispersion of dust.

14. Roof level heating and ventilation air intake sources shall be isolated or the

ventilation system shall be shut down.

15. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, removal or repair of sections of intact roofing less than 25 square feet in area does not require use of wet methods or HEPA vacuuming as long as manual methods which do not render the material non-intact are used to remove the material and no visible dust is created by the removal method used. In determining whether a job involves less than 25 square feet, the employer shall include all removal and repair work performed on the same roof on the same day.

3.6 SITE INSPECTION/CLEARANCE

A. While performing asbestos engineering control work, the Contractor shall be subject to on-site inspections by OSHA and EPA inspectors, local building/health officials, and the Authority and Authority’s third party IH.

END OF SECTION


PCB LIGHT BALLAST & MERCURY LAMP REMOVAL 02089 - 1

SECTION 02089 - POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYL (PCB) LIGHT BALLAST & MERCURY LAMP REMOVAL

PART 1 - GENERAL 1.1 DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

This section identifies the precautions and procedures required in the handling and disposal of small Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) items and lighting lamps that may contain hazardous materials. It applies to the identification, removal, packaging, and transport of hazardous materials.

A. Manufacturers have labeled fluorescent light ballasts and electrical capacitors

produced after 1978 to indicate "NO PCB's". However, prior to 1978 the small electrical items such as capacitors and fluorescent light ballasts with dielectric fluid were not labeled to indicate polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) content, and therefore all unmarked capacitors and ballasts shall be presumed to contain PCB’s. In many buildings, the light ballasts will have been replaced due to renovation or through attrition and it may not be possible to determine the percentage of replacement. Therefore, all unmarked ballasts will be considered to contain PCB’s and shall be managed as such.

B. Small, unmarked electrical items (items under 100 cubic inches in size and/or having

less than 3 pounds of dielectric fluid) such as oil switches, ballasts, capacitors and the like must be considered to contain PCB’s and shall be managed as such. Some buildings may contain unused or inactive PCB items such as abandoned in place clock systems.

C. Fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps must be managed as hazardous if the

mercury concentration exceeds 0.2 milligrams per liter of leachate. In addition, lamps must be managed as hazardous waste until tested and proven otherwise.

D. The following procedures have been developed to assure proper incineration and/or

recycling of small PCB items and mercury lamps:

1. Small numbers of undamaged, non-leaking light ballasts (normally less than 16 each, or the cumulative amount of 1 pound of dielectric fluid) may be disposed of as normal municipal solid waste. The total number of unmarked ballasts removed is cumulative for the project.

2. All damaged and/or leaking light ballasts and larger quantities of ballasts are to be incinerated and/or recycled as PCB waste using the procedures outlined herein.



3. A representative sample of all fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps must be tested by the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) test to determine if they must be managed as hazardous (greater than 0.2 milligrams of mercury per liter of leachate). Lamps that are not adequately tested must be managed as hazardous.

1.2 SCOPE OF SERVICES:

A. General: This section indicates all work necessary to remove and incinerate small PCB items and mercury lamps in accordance with current environmental regulations.

1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE:

B. Contractor Qualifications: The Contractor shall be a firm of established reputation, or if

newly organized, whose personnel have previously established a reputation in the same field. To be considered, the Contractor shall maintain a regular work force that is commonly engaged in the removal, packaging and transporting of PCB items and lamps. Personnel shall have performed this work on previous projects in order to demonstrate experience.

B. Sampling for PCB’s: In the event that damaged, leaking ballasts are discovered, the

subsequent clean up shall proceed as follows:

1. If contamination is restricted to the light fixture, the entire fixture should be treated as PCB contaminated.

2. If surfaces below the light fixture are suspected of being contaminated, the

contractor is responsible for proper clean up of the area. The Contractors plan of action and procedures must be submitted to and accepted by the Contracting Officer prior to beginning work.

3. Wipe samples shall be collected following the EPA Field Manual for Grid

Sampling of PCB Spill Sites to Verify Cleanup. Wipe samples are to be analyzed by a qualified laboratory accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) for organic materials analysis. The surfaces shall be cleaned to 10 micrograms of PCBs per 100 square centimeters of surface or less.

CONTROL OF LEAD CONTAINING SURFACES 02090 - 1

SECTION 02090 – CONTROL OF LEAD CONTAINING SURFACES PART 1: GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION

A. The scope of work in this section consists of removing or stabilizing lead-containing paint from the canopy roofs of Cargo Buildings 1, 2, 3, and 4, located at Washington Dulles International Airport, Dulles, Virginia. This work is being performed for the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority referred as the “Authority” throughout this document. This section includes all work necessary to handle, contain, remove, and dispose of any lead-containing materials. The Contractor shall provide all equipment, labor, and materials to perform the work specified herein

B. Testing of representative painted surfaces has identified lead-containing components on the canopy roofs of Cargo Buildings 1, 2, 3, and 4. These components identified with lead-containing surface coatings in specific areas of the building should be assumed to have similar surface concentrations of lead throughout the rest of the building until additional X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) or paint chip analysis proves otherwise. Refer to the Attachment, “Lead-Containing Components” for the components that were measured to have detectable concentrations of lead. Also, attached “Estimate of Welding Preparation Areas1 where Lead Paint will be Impacted” table.

C. The work of this section requires the Contractor to develop and implement a written Work Compliance Program describing the operations involving the handling of lead-containing surfaces and the selective demolition, construction and repair of structures where lead is present. The written Work Compliance Program shall include engineering controls, work practices, and personal protection equipment utilized during various stages. The plan shall ensure that airborne concentrations of lead are maintained below 50 micrograms per cubic meter (�g/m3).

D. Work also includes the storage, transportation, and disposal of any materials

containing lead generated by the work. 1.2 REGULATORY PROTOCOL

All construction activities that involve lead are regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Lead in Construction Standard, 29 CFR 1926.62. While the Commonwealth of Virginia defines lead–based paint as a surface coating that measures greater than or equal to 1.0 milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm2) (as measured with the XRF) or 0.5% lead by weight (as determined by laboratory analysis), the OSHA standard does not define a specific concentration of lead, which must be present within paint for it to be considered "lead-containing." Therefore, painted surfaces



that contain less than 1.0 mg/cm2 as measured by XRF or 0.5% lead by weight, but still have detectable concentrations of lead, must be handled in accordance with the OSHA Lead in Construction Standard. Since OSHA does not define a specific concentration of lead that must be present within paint for it to be considered "lead-containing," any Contractor performing work that could impact paint films that have detectable concentrations of lead should be informed of the testing results, and should take appropriate actions to comply with OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.62. These appropriate actions include performing air monitoring to measure worker exposure; assuring that the workers are provided with adequate respiratory protection and the appropriate training.

1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE

Laboratory analysis shall be performed by a laboratory accredited by the Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELLAP).

B. Air monitoring will be conducted in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62. C. Personal air monitoring samples shall be collected on 25% of the work crew or a

minimum of two employees; whichever is greater during the work shift.



D. Area monitoring shall be conducted at the physical boundary of the work areas to

ensure unprotected personnel are not exposed above the OSHA Action Level of 30 �g/m3 of air at all times. Ambient air monitoring shall be conducted by the Authority. Should the laboratory report that lead in excess 30 �g/m3, the work should be stopped and the contractor shall implement additional engineering controls.

3.11 CLEANING OF WORK AREA

A. Cleanup shall occur constantly throughout each work day. All visible material shall remain damp until cleaned up. Do not dry sweep or use compressed air to clean up the area.

B. All liquid and solid waste shall be placed in leak-tight, impermeable containers.

Containers shall be kept closed except when being filled or emptied. Containers shall be inspected daily for leaks or corrosion.

C. Clean up at the end of each workday. All bulk debris, including but not limited to,

paint chips/debris, plastic barriers and lead contaminated clothing, shall be bagged in six-mil plastic bags or wrapped in six-mil plastic, sealed with duct tape, labeled and properly stored until the TCLP testing has been completed by the Authority.

D. At the end of the project, the work area shall be cleaned of all visible debris.

1. Collect all lead waste including, but not limited to, paint chips, sealing tape,

plastic sheeting, filters, mop heads, stripper , and disposable clothing. Contain, store, seal and label lead-contaminated waste material according to regulations specified herein.

2. HEPA vacuum clean as required, sponge wash all surfaces in the work area. Use a solution specifically designed for lead cleanup to wash all surfaces. Cleaning solvent shall be used in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. All liquid waste generated during this process shall be collected, tested, and disposed of accordingly. After washing, HEPA vacuum clean all surfaces again after they have dried until no visible residue remains.

3. All tools and equipment shall be washed down. 4. Dry sweeping and other methods generating substantial levels of airborne dust

may not be used for cleaning.



E. Containment Removal:

1. Before the actual final clean up can begin, the containment plastic shall be carefully

removed. Plastic at the highest levels shall be removed first, working downward. Plastic shall be misted with water before removal to hold down dust. Carefully detach the corners of the plastic and fold them into the middle so that the dirty side is inside. Areas around the area separation plastic shall also be thoroughly vacuumed. All soiled plastic shall be carefully placed in six-mil plastic bags for disposal.

F. Final Clean-up:

1. The final clean up of a lead hazard reduction project shall be scheduled at least

one hour after active work has ceased so as to allow airborne dust to settle. Clean up shall be conducted prior to the application of paint.

2. Cleaning will begin from the highest level working downward. All surfaces and

all fixtures in affected areas shall be cleaned. Follow the step-by-step final clean-up process outlined in the approved Work Compliance Program.

3.12 CLEARANCE

The Authority’s representative will perform a visual clearance. Final determination of clearance procedures to be implemented shall be made by the Authority.

3.13 TESTING OF LEAD WASTE

A. The Authority will perform TCLP testing on the representative waste stream. B. Any waste which results in a lead content in the leachate of greater than or equal to 5

(five) ppm shall be considered hazardous and shall be stored, labeled, and disposed of by the contractor properly.

3.14 DISPOSAL OF WASTE

A. Non-hazardous Waste: Solid waste which is not classified as hazardous waste shall be secured at the work site and transported to a permitted lined sanitary landfill within 48 hours of completion of the project by the Contractor.

B. Hazardous Waste (solid and liquid):

1. Handle and store lead-contaminated waste in accordance with the requirements of

the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and all applicable local, state, and federal regulations. All waste materials shall become the property of the



Contractor and shall be disposed of in an approved and licensed hazardous waste facility. Comply with land disposal restriction notification requirements as required by 40 CFR 268.

Place all liquid or solid hazardous wastes in DOT-approved containers. Clearly label the containers with the words “Hazardous Waste” and date, once full. Place all waste and debris in six-mil thick plastic bags and seal the bags. Large pieces of debris must be wrapped in six-mil plastic and sealed. Place solvent and caustic residues in corrosion-resistant drums. Immediately prior to being taken out of the work area, the container/plastic shall be re-bagged or wrapped, or wet wiped to remove residual contamination.

2. Provide the Authority with chain-of-custody form. 3. Provide the Authority with one copy of transport manifest for material to be

disposed of when material is ready to be loaded and transported to an approved disposal facility in accordance with 40 CFR 262. Material shall not be removed from the job site until the Authority’s approval is given.

4. Provide the Authority with Certificate of Disposal and manifest signed by the

agent accepting the material at the approved disposal facility upon its delivery. Properly executed manifest shall be received by the Authority no later than thirty (30) days after material is transported from the job site.

3.15 RESTORATION

Remove all equipment, temporary protection, signs and barriers associated with lead removal work upon completion of all lead work and when approved by the Authority. Verify all debris and rubbish has been removed and legally disposed.
