a. Removal of Furnishings. All materials stored in the QSI ARSR abatement areas are to be removed from the work area by the Asbestos Abatement contractor before any asbestos abatement work begins. All materials that are removed shall be pre-cleaned using HEPA filtered vacuum followed by wet wiping and/or steam cleaning. These items shall be removed to an area or site designated by the COR and stored or other appropriate action taken.

b. Replacement of Furnishings. At the conclusion of the asbestos abatement work in each work area and after meeting the final PCM clearance air testing requirements and the new tile has been installed and sealed, objects so removed shall be transferred back to the cleaned area from which they came and reinstalled at the direction of the

COR.

3. Asbestos Control Area Requirements.

a. Regulated containment area shall be established and maintained for the abatement work task as required by 29 CFR 1926 and approved Contractor’s Asbestos Abatement Plan. The following procedures shall be performed sequentially and each activity shall be completed before proceeding to the next.

Furnishings/materials in the regulated asbestos work area shall be pre-cleaned and removed if possible.

Surfaces shall be pre-cleaned as required.

Containment area shall be installed as required.

b. Upon completion of the work area containment, the COR and the FAA Air Monitoring Contractor will conduct a pre-abatement inspection. The Contractor shall receive notification from the COR before any asbestos abatement removal work is initiated.

4. Asbestos Handling Procedures

a. The Contractor shall employ proper handling procedures in accordance with 29 CFR 1926, 40 CFR 61, Subpart M and the requirements herein. The specific abatement techniques and items identified shall be detailed in the Contractor's Asbestos Abatement Plan including, but not limited to, details of construction materials, equipment, and handling procedures.

5. Clean-Up. The Contractor shall maintain a clean work area by performing the following housekeeping functions at the end of each shift:

a. Loose ACM shall be prepared for disposal by packaging the waste and removing it from the work area.

b. Mist and mop floor in the work area.

c. Polyethylene in work and high traffic areas shall be inspected and repaired.

6. Final Cleaning and Visual Inspection. The abated regulated asbestos work area shall be cleaned by collecting, packing, and properly storing/disposing of all gross contamination. A final cleaning shall use HEPA vacuum and wet cleaning of all exposed surfaces and equipment in the regulated asbestos work area. Upon completion of the cleaning, the Contractor shall conduct a visual pre-inspection of the cleaned area in preparation for a final inspection before final air clearance monitoring and re-clean, as necessary. Upon completion of the final cleaning, the Abatement Contractor, the RE, and Air Monitoring Contractor shall conduct a final visual inspection of the cleaned work area in accordance with ASTM E 1368 and document the results on the Final Cleaning and Visual Inspection Form. If the Air Monitoring Contractor rejects the abatement area as not meeting final cleaning requirements, he will notify the COR and the COR will direct the Abatement Contractor to re-clean the area as necessary and have a follow-up inspection conducted by the Air Monitoring Contractor.

Re-cleaning, follow-up re-inspections shall be at the Abatement Contractor's expense.

7. Lock Down. Prior to removal of plastic barriers and after clean up of gross contamination and final visual inspection, a post removal (lockdown sealer) encapsulant shall be spray applied to floors in the abatement area.

8. Air Sampling:

a. Personnel sampling and analyses of airborne fibers on asbestos workers shall be performed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.1101. Results of personnel samples shall be posted at the job site and made available to the COR. It is the Responsibility of the abatement contractor to conduct this personnel sampling of the abatement workers.

b. The FAA will contract the services of an independent Air Monitoring Contractor to conduct air sampling inside and outside of containment areas, and to conduct final PCM clearance air testing for this project.

9. Stop Work: Should sampling results fail to meet the final clearance requirements, the Abatement Contractor shall pay all costs associated with all required re-cleaning, air re-sampling and analysis until final clearance requirements are met.

a. Any of the following conditions will be sufficient evidence for the COR to direct the

Abatement Contractor to stop work and take corrective action as outlined in the Facility Asbestos Abatement Contingency Plan.

10. If air sampling and analysis conducted in accordance with these specifications and the Air

Monitoring Contractor’s approved Area Air Monitoring Plan indicates airborne fiber concentrations of 0.02 f/cc above baseline or greater outside of the regulated asbestos work area.

11. Work or conditions found to be in violation of this specification or applicable regulations.

This includes, but is not limited to, puncture or collapse of containment barriers, electrical power loss, ground-fault circuit interrupter failure, equipment failure, dry removal of ACM, and visible emission from the asbestos regulated work area.

a. After corrective action has eliminated the condition(s) responsible for the work stoppage, the COR will notify the Abatement Contractor when work may restart.

Standby time required to resolve the condition(s) shall be at the Abatement Contractor's expense.

12. Site Inspection. While performing asbestos removal work, the Abatement Contractor shall be subject to onsite inspections by the COR who may be assisted by or represented by quality assurance, safety and industrial hygiene personnel, and the Air Monitoring Contractor.

13. Clean-Up and Disposal.

a. Housekeeping. Surfaces of the regulated work area shall be kept free of accumulations of asbestos-containing debris. Meticulous attention shall be given to restricting the spread of dust and debris. HEPA filtered vacuum cleaners shall be used. The space shall not be blown down with compressed air. The COR or their representative will visually inspect all surfaces within the containment for residual material or accumulated debris. The Contractor shall re-clean all areas showing dust or residual materials. The Air Monitoring Contractor shall document in writing that the area is safe before unrestricted entry is permitted.

b. Title to Materials. Non-hazardous material resulting from abatement work, except as specified otherwise, shall become the property of the Abatement Contractor and shall be disposed of as specified in applicable local, state, and Federal regulations and herein.

c. Collection and Disposal of Asbestos. Consult 40 CFR 61 Subpart M, customer, state, regional and local requirements.

After final clean-up and acceptable airborne concentrations are attained, and the containment removed, the Contractor shall remove all asbestos waste, asbestos contaminated water, scrap, debris, bags, containers, equipment, and asbestos contaminated clothing, shall be collected and placed in sealed leak-tight, containers (e.g. double 6 mil plastic bags), sealed 6 mil double wrapped polyethylene sheet, sealed fiberboard boxes or other approved containers. Waste within the containers must be adequately wetted in case the container is breached. A warning and Department of Transportation (DOT) label identifying the contractor by name and the generator’s EPA ID number and any additional state requirements shall be affixed or preprinted on each bag. Waste asbestos material shall be disposed of at an EPA, state and local approved asbestos landfill. For temporary storage, sealed impermeable containers shall be stored in the asbestos waste load-out unit or in a storage/transportation conveyance (i.e.; covered, lined trailer, roll-off waste boxes, etc.) in a manner as accepted by and in an area as assigned by the COTR/RE. Procedures for hauling, storage and disposal shall comply with 40 CFR 61, Subpart M, and State of Louisiana, regional, and local standards.

When asbestos removal is complete, all asbestos waste is removed from the work site, and final clean up is completed, the COR will instruct the abatement contractor when to remove the warning signs and boundary warning tape.
