CONTROL OF LEAD-BASED PAINT 02090-4

PART 3 - EXECUTION

For all regulated areas, and particularly during renovation activities in occupied buildings, precautions (i.e., air-tight barriers and signage) must be taken to protect building occupants and unaffected adjacent areas, surfaces, furnishings and stored items from exposure to lead-contaminated dust. A certified “Competent Person” (e.g., a Lead Abatement Supervisor) shall be on-site during all phases of work.

A. All work areas (interior and exterior) are to be pre-cleaned of dust, debris, and paint chip accumulation prior to establishing barriers.

B. Interior work resulting in minor impact to lead painted surfaces, using controlled work practices, and other activities that control the generation of lead dust shall be performed over a 6-mil.

polyethylene drop cloth to protect adjacent/horizontal surfaces from the accumulation of lead dust and debris.

C. Aggressive demolition and disturbance activities of interior surfaces shall be conducted within a full-enclosure containment. Where uncontrolled dust will be generated, a negative pressure enclosure (NPE) exhausted via high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration will be implemented.

D. Exterior demolition and disturbance shall be completed over 6-mil. polyethylene drop cloths that shall be containerized on a daily basis. For elevated work areas, additional precautions may be required to prevent the dispersion of lead dust and debris.

E. For exterior demolition and paint disturbance at windows, an airtight polyethylene barrier shall be placed over the interior side of window openings and wall penetrations, mechanical systems intakes and outlets, etc.

F. For soil removal, use trisodium phosphate (TSP) solution to dampen soil and use hand tools or vacuum loading equipment (starting at the furthest point from the load-out area) and remove soil directly to containers or dumpsters. Do not track through removed or uncontaminated areas.

Cover containers, dumpsters and contaminated areas with 6-mil. polyethylene on a daily basis and during occasions of high wind.

G. Wet methods using a TSP solution, a high-detergent cleanser or a product of proven equivalent effectiveness for cleaning and/or controlling lead dust shall be implemented for all lead paint disturbances unless proven infeasible. Alternative control methods and products must be submitted for approval prior to implementation.

3.1 PREPARATION

A. Before beginning lead paint removal in any area, pre-clean and cover all surfaces, furnishings and stored items which may accumulate dust and paint chips with 6-mil. plastic sheeting taped securely in place. Barriers shall be adequate to ensure that dust, debris, and fumes are contained within the work area and do not contaminate building systems or adjacent surfaces.

B. OSHA warning signs shall be placed at the entrance to LBP work control areas.

C. For exterior or open area work, provide construction tape barriers at an adequate distance around the work area for pedestrians to follow to alternate pathways.

D. Hallways, exits, stairwells and similar routes of egress shall not be blocked without the permission of the Contracting Officer Technical Representative.

E. Prior to initiating work, obtain from the building manager a secure waste storage area. Any waste storage area shall be locked and protected with 6-mil. poly sheeting on floors and partially up walls.

CONTROL OF LEAD-BASED PAINT 02090-5

3.2 WORK PROCEDURES

A. The method of lead-based paint abatement removal chosen by the contractor must minimize the generation of lead dust. The following methods of paint removal will not be permitted: open-flame burning, dry scraping, and machine sanding/grinding/cutting without HEPA attachments.

B. Coordinate work of all trades to ensure that their work is performed in accordance with applicable regulations and to ensure the integrity or isolation of the regulated area.

C. The Contractor is responsible for personal air monitoring under OSHA regulations and to document and control worker exposure. OSHA regulations include provisions for exposure monitoring, engineering and work practice controls, training, medical monitoring, record keeping, and job removal. The Contractors’ Competent Person shall evaluate the data to determine the effectiveness of engineering controls, the adequacy of personal protective equipment, and to determine if proper work practices are being employed. The CO shall be notified if any air monitoring results equal or exceed 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air (ug/m3).

D. In obtaining a negative exposure assessment (NEA), an employer may not project another employers’ results to their personnel. Additional exposure monitoring is required when there is a change in equipment, processes, controls, or when personnel of varying training and/or experience are engaged in the process.

E. Government representatives may perform environmental testing prior to beginning work to demonstrate that there is no appreciable elevation of airborne or settled lead outside of the work area. Sampling may also be performed during the initial phase of removal to assure lead levels remain under the OSHA action level of 30 ug/m3.

F. Upon exiting the removal area, personnel shall decontaminate by vacuuming gross debris from disposable clothing and thoroughly washing all exposed body surfaces. The contractor is responsible for supplying adequate washing facilities for their employees. Workers shall not leave the designated work area while wearing protective clothing.

3.3 CLEANUP AND DISPOSAL

A. Housekeeping: Surfaces in the LBP control area shall be maintained free of accumulations of paint chips and dust. The accumulation and spread of dust and debris shall be restricted. Shop vacuums, dry sweeping, or compressed air shall not be used for cleanup.

B. The General Contractor is responsible for ensuring that normal shop vacuums, or other vacuums without HEPA filtration, are not utilized in areas where an accumulation of lead dust or paint chips can reasonably be anticipated.

C. At the end of each work period, HEPA vacuum and collect all debris to maintain surfaces free of paint chips and dust accumulation. Seal debris in airtight containers and remove from work site.

Materials being temporarily stored at the site must be transported and maintained in closed, airtight containers (drums) meeting the DOT requirements.

D. Final cleaning/approval: HEPA vacuum and damp clean areas and surfaces with an anionic solution such as trisodium phosphate (TSP), vinegar, or high detergent solutions. The area shall be visually clean of all debris and dust. If the CO or a designated representative (i.e., an IH firm) finds the area unacceptable, the contractor shall re-clean at no additional cost to the Government until acceptance is gained.

E. In accordance with 40 CFR 745, child-occupied facilities and target housing must follow the final clearance wipe testing protocols established therein. In all instances, the CO and/or a designated representative will make the determination of individual or composite sampling.

CONTROL OF LEAD-BASED PAINT 02090-6

F. For facilities and/or projects not included under paragraph 3.3.E, the CO and/or a designated representative will determine if lead dust wipe samples will be collected to establish acceptance after final cleaning. When final wipe testing is utilized, the clearance criteria shall be as follows:

Surface Clearance Criteria Floors 40 micrograms lead per square foot

Window Sills 250 micrograms lead per square foot Exterior and “Other” Surfaces 800 micrograms lead per square foot

Soil 1,200 micrograms lead per gram Soil (Children’s Play Area) 400 micrograms lead per gram

G. Handling and disposal of all waste and debris is to be in compliance with OSHA, EPA, DOT, applicable state, and all other applicable regulations. The contractor is responsible for providing a waste profile and quantity report, and for providing TCLP (toxic characteristic leaching procedure) sampling to determine if the waste is hazardous.

H. A copy of each manifest is to be provided to the CO and designated facility contact at the time the shipment is made. Within 30 days of the time the Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage and Disposal Facility (TSDF) receives the waste a completed copy of the manifest is to be provided to the CO and facility contact. Certificates of Destruction or Disposal (CD) shall be provided to the same parties within 90 days of delivery of waste to the TSDF.
