1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Action Level: Employee exposure, without regard to use of respirators, to an airborne concentration of lead of 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air averaged over an 8 hour period.

B. Area Sampling: Sampling of lead concentrations within the lead control area and inside the physical boundaries which is representative of the airborne lead concentrations but is not collected in the breathing zone of personnel (approximately 5 to 6 feet above the floor).

C. Competent Person (CP): As used in this section, refers to a person employed by the Contractor who is trained in the recognition and control of lead hazards in accordance with current federal, State, and local regulations. A United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) certified

Lead Abatement Supervisor or Lead Renovator are the best choices for this project.

D. Contaminated Room: Not Applicable

E. Decontamination Shower Facility: Not Applicable

F. High Efficiency Particulate Arrestor (HEPA) Filter Equipment: Not Applicable

G. Lead: Metallic lead, inorganic lead compounds, and organic lead soaps. Excludes other forms of organic lead compounds.

H. Lead Control Area: A system of control methods to prevent the spread of lead dust, paint chips or debris to adjacent areas that may include temporary containment, floor or ground cover protection, physical boundaries, and warning signs to prevent unauthorized entry of personnel.

HEPA filtered local exhaust equipment may be used as engineering controls to further reduce personnel exposures or building/outdoor environmental contamination.

1. Demolition and renovation activities at the Site may generate lead dust. Dust control shall be used to minimize airborne lead during mechanical demolition and or renovation.

I. Lead Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air as an 8 hour time weighted average as determined by 29 CFR 1926.62. If an employee is exposed for more than eight hours in a work day, the PEL shall be determined by the following formula:

1. PEL (micrograms/cubic meter of air) = 400/No. hrs worked per day

J. Material Containing Lead/Paint with Lead (MCL/PWL): Any material, including paint, which contains lead as determined by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) testing. An inspection of painted building components was conducted in June 2015. The findings of this inspection are included in the Arc Environmental Lead-based Paint Inspection Report issued at that time. If other unsampled areas of the project Site are impacted by the planned renovations/demolition activities, than those components must be presumed to contain lead-based paint, given the age of the structure.

K. Personal Sampling: Sampling of airborne lead concentrations within the breathing zone of an employee to determine the 8 hour time weighted average concentration in accordance with 29

CFR 1926.62. Samples shall be representative of the employees' work tasks. Breathing zone shall be considered an area within a hemisphere, forward of the shoulders, with a radius of 6 to

9 inches and centered at the nose or mouth of an employee.

L. Physical Boundary: Area physically roped or partitioned off around lead control area to limit unauthorized entry of personnel.

1.3 DESCRIPTION

B. Disposal

1. All material, whether hazardous or non-hazardous shall be disposed in accordance with all laws and provisions and all federal, State or local regulations. Ensure all waste is properly characterized. The result of each waste characterization (TCLP for RCRA materials) will dictate disposal requirements. The Contractor shall collect one representative TCLP sample from the Site and submit it for laboratory analysis. The analytical result will provide details as to whether the generated waste can be handled and disposed of as non-hazardous or hazardous. In order for the waste stream to be considered non-hazardous, the TCLP result for lead content must be below 5 milligrams per Liter (mg/L).

2. Contractor is responsible for segregation of waste. Collect lead-contaminated waste, scrap, debris, bags, containers, equipment, and lead-contaminated clothing that may produce airborne concentrations of lead particles. Label the containers in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62 and 40

CFR 261. If the waste stream changes at any point during the Site activities, additional TCLP samples will need to be collected in order to appropriately characterize the waste.

3. Handle, store, transport, and dispose lead or lead-contaminated waste in accordance with 40

CFR 260, 40 CFR 261, 40 CFR 262, 40 CFR 263, 40 CFR 264, and 40 CFR 265. Comply with land disposal restriction notification requirements as required by 40 CFR 268.
