THIRD PARTY AIR MONITOR (TPAM)

LEAD ABATEMENT PROJECT AIR MONITORING SERVICES

1.01 Air Monitoring and Area Sampling:

A. General Requirements: Lead monitoring, whether Lead in Air or Surface Wipes, shall be conducted and analyzed in accordance with National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) standards and methods required by applicable regulations of the Federal, State or Local Jurisdiction, and to requirements and guidelines regarding EPA’s Lead- Containing Coating (LCC)/Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program. Laboratory analyses of air or wipe samples must be performed by persons or laboratories with proficiency as demonstrated by current successful participation in a nationally recognized testing program. Such programs include the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELLAP). Additional state and local requirements may also apply.

B. The FAA Project Point of Contact, i.e. the Resident Engineer, Contracting Officer Representative or the Safety and Environmental Compliance Manager (RE/COR or SECM) shall provide to the Contracting Officer (CO) a list of contractors who can provide the services of a third party contracting firm. The contracting firm employs Industrial Hygienists (IH) or Air Monitoring Professionals (AMP), henceforth known as the “TPAM”, which specialized in industrial hygiene air and other monitoring for the purpose of project oversight and area air sampling. All persons executing the duties under this contract must have a minimum of three years of experience as appropriate for the duties performed under this contract. The TPAM representatives shall be supervised by a person who meets one of the following requirements:

1. American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), with at least 3 years of LCC/LBP abatement experience.

2. Have at least 4 years field experience in air sampling under the supervision of a

CIH.

C. The TPAM must be completely independent from the Lead Abatement Contractor and must not be an employee or principal of a firm recognized by Federal, state, or local regulations that would constitute a business relationship with the Lead Abatement Contractor.

D. The TPAM shall have on site and submitted to the FAA’s RE a copy of the applicable state required LCC\LBP abatement license/certificate and air monitoring license, if applicable, for all individuals or labs to be performing air monitoring services on this project.

E. Collect air samples using OSHA Method ID 121 or a method recommended by the AIHA Accredited Laboratory at the following intervals:

1. During any renovation, repair or painting activity that releases dust into the air.

2. After completion of abatement activities, clearance samples shall be taken to document the final cleaning.

3. Air monitoring may be conducted by the TPAM at additional times as recommended by the TPAM CIH.

F. Analytical results will be made available at the RE’s onsite office.

G. Air monitoring results shall include, at a minimum, the following information for each sample: µg/m3, sample ID, laboratory ID, date sample taken, flow rate (liters/minutes), time (minutes), sample collection locations, location and type of abatement activity, and the name of the TPAM.

G. The TPAM shall monitor and observe abatement activities performed by the abatement contractor and report to the FAA’s Resident Engineer or Point of Contact the status of the abatement work according to the statement of work and compliance with all relevant statutes and regulations.

H. TPAMs perform the vital role of documenting the abatement activities, air monitoring for purpose of determining final clearance. The TPAM will also maintain daily activity logs, which must be provided to the FAA within 24 hours of request. The TPAM will provide the FAA a final report to document that abatement activities were performed in compliance with Federal, state, local requirements and the Lead Abatement Contractor complied with contract specifications. Final Report must also include the certificate of disposal for the waste within 5 days after the completion of the project and all air monitoring documentation.

I. TPAMs are required to comply with OSHA requirements and have completed the requirements of OSHA’s lead standard’s for medical surveillance and respiratory protection sections, and, if required, a state license.

1.02 Final Clearance

A. The following are the final clearance criteria for passing. All work barriers shall be removed and final cleanup activities completed prior to clearance. Clearance will be conducted by the TPAM.

1. Acceptable final visual clearance - no visible paint or paint debris identified from the

LCC\LBP materials scheduled for removal.

2. Air monitoring – airborne lead concentrations equal to or less than 30 µg/m3.

3. Wipe sample – Per the sampling media instructions. Conduct clearance samples during normal work shift hours of the contract. One sample per surface would be adequate, using methods outlined in EPA’s Lead-Containing Coating (LCC)/Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Renovation, Repair, and Painting Program.

4. If the abatement contractor fails to achieve clean air in any of the above said clearance sampling methods, the abatement contractor shall re-clean the area until samples achieve standards set forth above. All costs arising from this extra cleaning shall be the responsibility of the abatement contractor.
