11.0 INSPECTIONS:

11.1 Preliminary: the TPAM must thoroughly inspect the area where abatement will be performed prior to the start of work. The purpose of this preliminary inspection must be to develop air-monitoring strategies, asbestos controls, and review the feasibility of the Asbestos Abatement Contractor’s Abatement Plan with respect to actual site conditions.

11.2 Daily: The TPAM must conduct daily inspections of the Asbestos Abatement Contractor’s activities inside and outside of the regulated work area during each phase of work. Such inspections must be performed at least two times per shift (hourly preferred). Pre-cleaning, set-up work, abatement work practices, barrier/enclosure integrity, operation of negative air filtration units, and any other activities that may impact the intent of the abatement specifications or the approved Asbestos Abatement Plan must be assessed. Smoke testing of enclosures must be performed and documented prior to the start of abatement work. If activities or situations are observed that do not conform to the intent of the abatement specifications and/or Federal, state, or local regulations, the TPAM must immediately notify the COR/RE that corrective action is required.

11.3 Final Inspection: After final cleaning has been completed, the TPAM’s onsite oversight person and COR/RE must conduct a final visual inspection of the cleaned asbestos regulated work.

12.0 STOP WORK: The TPAM must immediately notify the COR/RE of the following conditions. This will be sufficient evidence of the COR/RE to direct the Asbestos Abatement Contractor to stop work and take corrective actions.

A. If air sampling and analysis conducted in accordance with these specifications, project Asbestos Contingency Plan, and the TPAM’s approved Air Monitoring Plan indicates airborne fiber concentrations of 0.02 f/cc above baseline or greater outside of the regulated work area.

B. 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.

C. Any other condition that may adversely impact or disrupt flying operations or working conditions at the facility.

13.0 AIR SAMPLING: Typically, verbal air sampling results will be provided to the COR/RE within [1] hour from the time of analysis and written results provided within 24 hours.

Results exceeding the specified stop work levels must be reported verbally within one hour of analysis with written results posted before the start of the next abatement work shift. Final clearance air monitoring results must be verbally reported as soon as possible and submitted in writing with the final report within [3] days of the completion of the abatement project.

A. Sampling and analysis of airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers must be performed in accordance with the TPAM’s approved Air Monitoring Plan and as specified herein. For air sampling during asbestos abatement work, NIOSH Pub No. 84-100 Method 7400 PCM with optional confirmation of results by NIOSH Pub No. 84-100 Method 7402 Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) must be used. All air sampling will be conducted at a flow rate and time to collect a sufficient sample volume. The sampling and analytical method used for approval from the FAA is required for confirmatory analysis.

The TPAM must archive sampling cassettes for the duration of the project plus 6 months.

B. Personnel air monitoring of asbestos abatement workers will be the responsibility of the Asbestos Abatement Contractor.

13.1 Sampling Prior to Asbestos Work (Baseline Sampling): Baseline air samples will be collected prior to the start of the abatement. The number and location of the samples will be taken at the discretion of the TPAM CIH, considering regulatory requirements and size and complexity of the abatement area. The baseline samples must represent the ambient air quality prior to the start of the abatement project and expressed in fibers per cubic centimeter (f/cc).

13.2 Sampling During Asbestos Abatement Work and Off-Shift Hours: The TPAM must provide area sampling in accordance with Federal, state, and local requirements, and the approved Air Monitoring Plan. Area sampling must be conducted at least once every shift in the same locations as the baseline as well as any other areas recommended by the TPAM.

Results will be provided to the COR/RE prior to commencement of daily abatement activities.

13.3 Sampling After Final Asbestos Clean-up (Final Clearance Sampling)

A. Final Cleaning and Inspections:

Prior to conducting final air clearance, the TPAM and the COR/RE must conduct a final visual inspection of the Asbestos Abatement Contractor’s final cleanup of the abated asbestos regulated work area. Typically, final clearance air monitoring must not begin until 24 hours after completion of final cleaning. In cases where time is critical and the asbestos is non-friable with a low probability of becoming airborne, the final clearance monitoring may be performed upon passing the visual inspection, unless the TPAM recommends otherwise.

For final air clearance, the TPAM will provide area sampling of airborne fibers using aggressive air sampling techniques described in 40 CFR Part 763, Appendix A to Subpart E. Refer to Section 15A of this SOW regarding methodology.

B. Final Clearance Criteria:

TEM: TEM analysis is considered clean when all sample results are at or below 70 asbestos structures per square millimeter (S/mm2) of air. No averaging of results will be used.

C. Air Clearance Failure:

The Asbestos Abatement Contractor must repeat final cleaning procedures at no additional cost to the Government if any sample exceeds the clearance criteria. The TPAM must then provide analysis of the next round of clearance air samples by an accredited laboratory via TEM. Failure to meet final clearance criteria for any individual sample will require the Asbestos Abatement Contractor to pay all cost associated with additional cleaning requirements and the cost of all additional sampling and TEM analysis. If one sample fails the final clearance criteria, the complete set of samples must be repeated.
