1.3 SAFETY, HEALTH, AND ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS

Perform work in accordance with all applicable health, safety, and environmental requirements as well as EM 385-1-1 . Submit matters of interpretation of these requirements to the Contracting Officer for resolution before starting work. If no clarifications are sought, then the submittal is not necessary. Where the regulations conflict, the most stringent requirements apply. This paragraph supplements the health, safety, and environmental requirements of EM 385-1-1 .

1.3.1 Safety

Submit an Accident Prevention Plan in accordance with the requirements of Section 01 of EM 385-1-1 , including, but not limited to, each of the topic areas listed in Appendix A therein and the specified requirements.

Develop each topic in a concise manner to include management and operational aspects. Submit a Ventilation Assessment Plan complying with all applicable safety standards.

1.3.1.1 Abrasive Blasting

For abrasive blasting comply with the requirements in Section 06.I of EM 385-1-1 . In addition to the requirements in Section 20 of EM 385-1-1 , use hoses and hose connections of a type to prevent shock from static electricity. Join hose lengths together by approved couplings of a material and type designed to prevent erosion and weakening of the couplings. The couplings and nozzle attachments must fit on the outside of the hose and be designed to prevent accidental disengagement.

1.3.1.2 Workers Other Than Blasters

Protect workers, other than blasting operators working in close proximity to abrasive blasting operations. Use MSHA/NIOSH-approved half-face or full-face air purifying respirators equipped with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and eye protection meeting ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 .

Use hearing protectors (ear plugs and/or ear muffs) providing a noise reduction rating of at least 20 dBA or as needed to provide adequate protection. Provide personal protective equipment where required by 29 CFR 1910.146 and in accordance with 29 CFR 1910 , Subpart I.

1.3.1.3 Cleaning Before and After Abrasive Blasting

Cleaning with compressed air must be in accordance with Section 20.B.5 of EM 385-1-1 and personnel protected as specified in 29 CFR 1910.134 . When cleaning with solvents, provide ventilation where required by 29 CFR 1910.146 or where the concentration of solvent vapors exceeds 10 percent of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). Ventilation must be in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.94 , paragraph (c)(5).

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 11

1.3.1.4 Pretreatment of Metals and Concrete with Acids

Personnel must be protected in accordance with 29 CFR 1910 , Subpart I. In addition to the requirements of Section 05 of EM 385-1-1 , provide an eyewash in accordance with ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 , paragraph (6).

1.3.1.5 Paint Mixing

Provide local exhaust ventilation in the area where coatings are mixed.

This ventilation system must be capable of providing at least 30.5 linear meters per minute 100 linear fpm of capture velocity in the mixing zone.

Avoid exposure of skin and eyes by wearing appropriate chemically resistant gloves, safety goggles, and face shields meeting the requirements of ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 . Provide a personal eyewash unit within close proximity to the mixing operation in accordance with ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 , paragraph (9). All powered mixing equipment must be either pneumatic or double insulated (intrinsically safe), in order to guard against fire or explosion. Individuals who have a history of, or develop a sensitivity to epoxy or polyurethane resin systems, must not conduct work tasks or otherwise be exposed to such chemicals.

1.3.1.6 Confined Spaces

When using solvent-based paint in confined spaces, prepare a Confined Spaces Plan . Provide ventilation to exchange air in the space at a minimum rate of 140 cubic meters 5,000 cubic feet per minute per spray gun in operation. It may be necessary to install both a mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation system to effect adequate air changes within the confined space. Locate and affix all air-moving devices to an opening of the confined space in a manner assuring that the airflow is not restricted or short circuited and is supplied in the proper direction. A suitable means of egress must be maintained at all times. Continue ventilation after completion of painting and through the drying phase of the operation. If the ventilation system fails or the concentration of volatiles exceeds 10 percent of the LEL (except in the zone immediately adjacent to the spray nozzle), stop painting and evacuate spaces until adequate ventilation is provided. Provide an audible alarm that signals system failure as an integral part of the ventilation system. Check the effectiveness of the ventilation by using ventilation smoke tubes and making frequent oxygen and combustible gas readings during painting operations. Exhaust ducts must discharge clear of the working areas and away from possible sources of ignition. Submit detailed written standard operating procedures for confined spaces in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.146 and EM 385-1-1 , Section 6H, Section 34. The procedures must include:

a. Certificates of calibration for all testing and monitoring equipment.

The certificates of calibration must include: type of equipment, model number, date of calibration, firm conducting calibration, and signature of individual certifying calibration.

b. Methods of inspection of personal protective equipment prior to use.

c. Engineering controls and other work practices designed to reduce airborne hazardous chemical exposures to a minimum.

d. Specification of the design and installation of ventilation systems which provide adequate oxygen content and provide for the dilution of paint solvent vapor, lead, and other toxic particulates within the confined space. Procedures must also include plans to evaluate the

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 12 adequacy of air flow patterns.

1.3.1.7 Paint Spraying

Submit a comprehensive written Respiratory Protection Plan in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 , 29 CFR 1926.62 , and EM 385-1-1 , Section 05.G.

During all spray painting operations, spray painters must use approved SCBA or SAR (air line) respirators, unless valid air sampling has demonstrated contaminant levels to be consistently within concentrations compatible with the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of an air-purifying respirator. Persons with facial hair that may interfere with the seal or valve function of a half or full facepiece style respirator may wear a hood or helmet respirator provided the APF is sufficient for the exposure. Air-purifying chemical cartridge/canister respirators that have a particulate prefilter and are suitable for the specific type(s) of gas/vapor and particulate contaminant(s) may be used for nonconfined space painting, mixing, and solvent cleaning. These respirators may be used provided the measured or anticipated concentration of the contaminant(s) in the breathing zone of the exposed worker does not exceed the APF for the respirator and the gas/vapor has good warning properties or the respirator assembly is equipped with a NIOSH-approved end of service life indicator for the gas(es)/vapor anticipated or encountered. Where paint contains toxic elements that may become airborne during painting in nonconfined spaces, air-purifying half- and full-facepiece respirators or powered air-purifying respirators equipped with appropriate gas vapor cartridges, in combination with a high-efficiency filter, or an appropriate canister incorporating a high-efficiency filter, must be used.

1.3.1.8 Explosion Proof Equipment

Electrical wiring, lights, and other equipment located in the paint spraying areas must be of the explosion proof type designed for operation in Class I, Division 1, Group D, hazardous locations as required by the NFPA 70 . Electrical wiring, motors, and other equipment, outside of but within 6 m 20 feet of any spraying area, must not spark and must conform to the provisions for Class I, Division 2, Group D, hazardous locations.

Electric motors used to drive exhaust fans must not be placed inside spraying areas or ducts. Fan blades and portable air ducts must be constructed of nonferrous materials. Properly maintain and ground motors and associated control equipment. Electrically bond and ground the metallic parts of all air-moving devices, spray guns, connecting tubing, and duct work.

1.3.1.9 Further Precautions

a. Workers must wear nonsparking safety shoes.

b. Solvent drums taken into the spraying area must be grounded. Maintain metallic bonding between containers and drums when materials are being transferred.

c. Inspect insulation on all power and lighting cables to ensure that the insulation is in excellent working condition and is free of all cracks and worn spots. Ensure that no connections are within 15 m 50 feet of the operation, that lines are not overloaded, and that they are suspended with sufficient slack to prevent undue stress or chafing.

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 13

1.3.1.10 Ignition Sources

Ignition sources, including lighted cigarettes, cigars, pipes, matches, or cigarette lighters, and electronic smoking devices are prohibited in areas of solvent cleaning, paint storage, paint mixing, or paint application.

Prepare and submit a Medical Surveillance Plan and a statement from the examining physician indicating the name of each employee evaluated and any limitations which will preclude the employee from performing the work required. The statement must include the date of the medical evaluation, the physician's name, signature, and telephone number.

1.3.2.1 Air Monitoring

Prepare and submit an Air Monitoring Test Plan . Perform air sampling and testing as needed to assure that workers are not exposed to contaminants above the permissible exposure limit. In addition, provide the Contracting Officer with a copy of the Air Monitoring Test Report from the laboratory within five working days of the sampling date, including records of air monitoring plans and tests performed. Submit reports as soon as information is available. Also provide results from direct-reading instrumentation on the same day the samples are collected.

The submitted plan must also address all aspects of establishing and demarcating regulated areas, ventilation/containment system performance verification, and reporting of accidental releases. Comply with the following environmental protection criteria.

1.3.3.1 Waste Classification, Handling, and Disposal

Prepare and submit a Waste Disposal Plan in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 261 and 40 CFR 262 including classification and handling. The Contractor is responsible for assuring the proper disposal of all hazardous and nonhazardous waste generated during the project.

Regardless of the results of 40 CFR 261 App II, Mtd 1311, all waste generated from abrasive blasting, lead-containing paints with recyclable steel or iron abrasives must be either disposed of as a hazardous waste or be stabilized with proprietary pre-blast additives . Where stabilization is preferred, employ a proprietary blast additive, that has been blended with the blast media prior to use. Place hazardous waste in properly labeled, closed containers shielded adequately to prevent dispersion of the waste by wind or water. Any evidence of improper storage is cause for immediate shutdown of the project until corrective action is taken. Store nonhazardous waste in closed containers separate from hazardous waste storage areas. Transport all hazardous waste by a licensed transporter in accordance with 40 CFR 263 and 49 CFR 171 , Subchapter C. Transport all nonhazardous waste in accordance with local regulations regarding waste transportation. In addition to the number of copies required by 40 CFR 262.22 , supply one copy of each Waste Manifest to the Contracting Officer prior to transportation.

Prepare a Visible Emissions Monitoring Plan including the provisions for halting work and correcting the containment in the event unacceptable emissions are observed. General statements must not be used; specific methods, procedures, and details are required. Measure the time of emissions in accordance with 40 CFR 60 , App A, Mtd 22. Monitor visible emissions for not less than 15 minutes of every hour. Calculate visible emissions for each hour by extrapolation. Visible emissions must not extend greater than 45 m 150 feet in any direction horizontal from the containment. Visible emissions must not be observed in the area of any sensitive receptor. If such emissions occur shut down the job immediately and take corrective action. Notify the foreman whenever visible emissions exceed [40] [200] seconds in a 1 hour period. Whenever visible emissions exceed [75] [300] seconds in a 2 hour period notify the foreman, shut down the job, and take corrective action. If the total observed visible emissions from the containment exceeds [1] [5] percent of the work day, shut down the job and take corrective action to prevent such an occurrence. Document each time that the work is halted due to a violation of the visible emissions criteria. Documentation must include the cause for shutdown and the corrective action taken to resolve the problem.

Prepare and submit a PM-10 Monitoring Plan for monitoring emissions of particulate matter 10 microns or less in size (PM-10) in compliance with the requirements of EPA regulation 40 CFR 50.6 and this paragraph. The plan must also include provisions for halting work and correcting the containment in the event unacceptable emissions occur. Position the air monitoring equipment in accordance with 40 CFR 58 , App E, Subpart (8). In addition, a minimum of two PM-10 monitors must be used at the project site, one downwind from the project and one in the area of greatest public access (e.g., playground, school yard, or homeowner's yard). When the project is in an area where there are critical receptors nearby, monitoring must be conducted throughout the entire period that abrasive blasting and cleanup operations are performed. Otherwise, perform monitoring 4 of the first 8 days and on a regular basis thereafter for a sum total of 25 percent of the time surface preparation and debris cleanup are performed. If air quality regulatory limits are not met, take corrective actions and immediately repeat air monitoring. Conduct the preproject PM-10 monitoring a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the project and continue for a minimum of 3 days to establish background levels. Submit a PM-10 Test Report to the Contracting Officer within 48 hours, that includes:

a. Name and location of jobsite.

b. Date of monitoring.

c. Time of monitoring (i.e., time monitoring begins and ends each day).

d. Identification and serial number of monitoring units.

e. Drawing showing specific location of monitoring units.

f. Drawing showing specific location of paint removal operation and the method of removal or work activity being performed.

1.3.3.5 TSP Monitoring

Prepare a TSP Monitoring Plan for monitoring emissions of Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) in compliance with the requirements of EPA regulation 40 CFR 50.12 and this paragraph. The plan must include provisions for halting work and correcting the containment in the event unacceptable emissions occur. Position the air monitoring equipment in accordance with 40 CFR 58 , App E, Subpart (8). A minimum of two TSP monitors must be used at the project site, one downwind from the project and one in the area of greatest public access (e.g. playground, school yard, or homeowner's yard). When the project is in an area where there are critical receptors nearby, TSP-lead monitoring must be conducted throughout the entire period that abrasive blasting and cleanup operations are performed. Otherwise, perform monitoring 4 of the first 8 days and on a regular basis thereafter for a sum total of 25 percent of the time surface preparation and debris cleanup are performed. If air quality regulatory limits are not met, require air monitoring to be repeated immediately after corrective actions have been taken. Also conduct preproject TSP monitoring. Conduct the preproject TSP monitoring a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the project and continue the monitoring for a minimum of 3 days to establish background levels. Submit a TSP Test Report to the Contracting Officer within 48 hours including:

Prepare a Water Quality Plan for all job sites where lead-containing or other hazardous paint will be removed, including provisions for halting work if spills or emissions are observed entering into bodies of water or found in areas where storm water runoff could carry the debris into bodies of water or storm sewers. The plan must also address cleanup and reporting procedures. Conduct operations in such a manner that lead-containing and other hazardous paint debris do not contaminate the water and so that NPDES permits in accordance with EPA regulation 40 CFR 122 are not required for the project. Any release of lead paint debris into the waterways having a reportable quantity of hazardous substance pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act, must be reported to the EPA in accordance with 40 CFR 117 and 40 CFR 355 . The plan must require the thorough documentation of any release or spill that carries into waterways or storm sewers. Include the time and location of the release, amount of material released, actions taken to clean up the debris, amount of debris recovered, and corrective action taken to avoid a reoccurrence. Also report releases to the Coast Guard and other state and local authorities as appropriate. If the release is equivalent to 4.5 kg 10 pounds or more of lead-containing material in a 24-hour period, it is considered to be a reportable quantity under CERCLA. Comply with

40 CFR 302 .

Prepare a Soil Quality Plan for all job sites where lead-containing or other hazardous paint will be removed. The plan must include provisions for halting the work should soil contamination occur, correcting the deficiencies responsible for the contamination, and provide procedures for removing and replacing contaminated soil. Establish and implement practices and procedures for preventing contamination of the soil from the removal of lead-containing or other hazardous paints. Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, soil is considered to have been contaminated by the Contractor's operation if an increase in the total lead content of 100 PPM or greater over background levels occurs. For purposes of computing the increase compute the mean background levels and the mean post-removal levels. The 100 PPM criteria is met if the difference between the means is less than 100 PPM plus the 95 percent

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 21 confidence limit. Conduct soil sampling and testing prior to the beginning of the project and after the project is completed. Interim testing may also be performed in the event the Contractor or Contracting Officer wants to confirm that the containment system and work practices continue to provide satisfactory protection of the soil. Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, the following minimum test locations must be selected for soil analysis. Select two locations beneath or immediately adjacent to the structure being prepared. Take additional samples within 30 m 100 feet in each direction of the project (i.e., N, S, E, W) in which soil is present. The number of soil sample locations must be sufficient to adequately characterize the soil contaminant levels within and around the project area. Collect five composite samples at each location. Each of the five samples must be comprised of five individual plugs of soil combined in a single bag. Use the following procedure to collect the composite samples:

a. Place a 0.093 square m 1-square foot template at each location.

b. Remove a sample of soil 19 mm 3/4 inch in diameter and 13 mm 1/2 inch in depth at the center of the template and at each of the four corners. Place the five soil plugs into a single bag. This represents one of the three samples to be removed at a given location.

c. Move the template 25 mm 1 inch in any direction and repeat the process to collect the second sample. Place all plugs in a separate bag.

Move the template 5 mm 1 inch farther to collect the third sample.

d. Identify each sample bag with the date, specific location of the sample, name and signature of the sampling technician, and complete chain of custody records.

e. It is critical that the specific location of each sample be thoroughly measured and documented as the final project testing (and any interim testing) must be sampled in the precise locations.

Analyze three samples collected at each location. One of the remaining two samples is to be maintained by the Contractor for the duration of the project and the other by the Contracting Officer in the event reanalysis is required. Analyze lead-containing samples in accordance with EPA testing guidance as published in 40 CFR 261 , App III, by a laboratory listed by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) as being proficient in conducting the test. Note that if it is determined that contamination of the soil has occurred as a result of the paint removal operations, TCLP testing must be employed to determine if the soil must be handled and disposed of as a hazardous waste. The initial sampling of the soil for total lead content does not establish whether the soil will be considered hazardous by TCLP testing. As a result, at the Contractor's option, additional prework soil samples may be removed (minimum of 105 grams is required for a single test at each site) to conduct TCLP testing to establish whether the soil would be classified as hazardous prior to project startup. In the event that there is a release of lead paint debris onto the soil and if the release is 4.5 kg 10 pounds or more of lead-containing material in a 24-hour period, it is considered to be a reportable quantity under CERCLA. Comply with 40 CFR 302 .
