SECTION 02 83 33.13

LEAD-BASED PAINT REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SUMMARY

A. Section Includes:

1. Removing and disposal of lead-based paint (LBP) and paint with lead

(PWL) as necessary to effectively apply a Fiberlock Lead-Based Paint

Encapsulant such as Lead Barrier Compound (LBC), Type III

Interior/Exterior thermoplastic-elastomeric water-based copolymer or approved equivalent at all interior locations indicated in Bid

Item 2. The OSHA Construction Industry Standard for lead (29 CFR

1926.62) does not use the EPA/HUD definition for Lead. According to

OSHA, if a material contains lead by laboratory analysis, the

Contractor is subject to the 29 CFR 1926.62 Lead standard. The

Contractor shall assume that all work for this project will disturb paints and coatings that contain lead and will comply with the current OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 Lead in Construction standard. The intent of this project is not to remove all lead containing materials rather the intent is to cost effectively stabilize the potential lead hazard by surface preparation and application of the

Lead-Based Paint Encapsulant and/or removal of the paint and substrate as necessary to complete the project. The surfaces that contain lead include, but are not limited to, electrical panels, ceilings, walls, pipes, stair components, hand rails, beams, columns, doors, door frames, door casings, door jambs, wall baseboards, cabinets and all other interior or exterior painted surfaces and components.

1.2 RELATED REQUIREMENTS

A. Hazardous Material Abatement: Section 02 82 11, TRADITIONAL ASBESTOS

ABATEMENT.

B. The contractor shall refer to table in Section 02-82-11, TRADITIONAL

ASBESTOS ABATEMENT, Paragraph 1.1.2 (B) Extent of Work for schedule requiring contractor to retain a 3rd party lead inspector to sample and test for lead via paint chip sample collection and for determining unit cost for lead abatement. Additionally, contractor shall provide a unit cost for each TCLP test performed by a 3rd party lead inspector, for determination of lead waste disposal requirements.

1.3 DEFINITIONS

A. Action Level: Employee exposure, without regard to use of respirator, to lead airborne concentration of 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air averaged over 8-hour period. As used in this section, ”30 micrograms per cubic meter of air " refers to action level.

B. Area Monitoring: Sampling of lead concentrations within lead control area and inside physical boundaries which are representative of airborne lead concentrations which may reach breathing zone of personnel potentially exposed to lead.

C. Breathing Zone: Area within hemisphere, forward of shoulders, with 150 mm to 225 mm (6 to 9 inches) radius and center at nose or mouth of employee.

D. Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH): As used in this section, refers to an Industrial Hygienist Certified in the Comprehensive Practice of

Industrial Hygiene by the American Board of Industrial Hygiene and employed by Contractor.

E. Change Rooms and Shower Facilities: Rooms within designated physical boundary around lead control area equipped with separate storage facilities for clean protective work clothing and equipment and for street clothes which prevent cross-contamination.

F. Competent Person: Person capable of identifying lead hazards in work area and authorized by contractor to take corrective action.

G. Decontamination Room: Room for removal of contaminated personal protective equipment (PPE).

H. Eight-Hour Time Weighted Average (TWA): Airborne concentration of lead averaged over 8-hour workday to which an employee is exposed.

I. High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filter Equipment:

HEPA filtered vacuuming equipment with UL 586 filter system capable of collecting and retaining lead-contaminated paint dust. HEPA filter means 99.97 percent efficient against 0.3 micron (0.012 mil) size particles.

J. Lead: Metallic lead, inorganic lead compounds, and organic lead soaps.

Excluded from this definition are other organic lead compounds.

K. Lead Control Area: Enclosed area or structure with full containment to prevent spreading lead dust, paint chips, and debris from lead-based paint removal operations. Lead control area is isolated by physical boundaries to prevent unauthorized entry of personnel.

Correct IT Infrastructure Deficiencies 02 83 33.13 - 3 Carl Vinson Medical Center, Dublin, GA

L. Lead Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL): Fifty micrograms per cubic meter of air as 8-hour time weighted average as determined by

29 CFR Part 1926.62. When employee is exposed for more than 8 hours per work day, determine PEL by following formula. PEL micrograms/cubic meter of air = 400/No. of hrs. worked per day.

M. Personnel Monitoring: Sampling of lead concentrations within employee breathing zone to determine 8-hour time weighted average concentration according to 29 CFR Part 1926.62. Take samples representative of employee's work tasks.

N. Physical Boundary: Area physically roped or partitioned off around enclosed lead control area to limit unauthorized entry of personnel. As used in this section, "inside boundary" shall mean same as "outside lead control area."
