7.0 AIR MONITORING AND FINAL CLEARANCE

7.1 Air Monitoring.

This section describes air monitoring services to be carried out by the CONSULTANT to verify that the Work performed is in compliance and that the building areas beyond the Work Area and the outside environment remain uncontaminated. This section also sets forth airborne filter levels both inside and outside the Work Area as actions levels and describes the action required by CONTRACTOR if an action level is met or exceeded.

CONSULTANT may delegate responsibilities and duties to a TDSHS licensed Asbestos Project Manager and Asbestos

Air Monitor Technician. The CONSULTANT shall be conducting air monitoring throughout the course of the Work.

Air monitoring required by OSHA is work of the Abatement Contractor and is not covered in this section.

7.2 Baseline Fiber Counts.

Baseline air sampling will be conducted by CONSULTANT prior to initiation of Work by The Abatement Contractor in order to establish background levels of airborne contamination. These samples may be archived by CONSULTANT without analysis.

7.3 Work Area Isolation.

The purpose of CONSULTANT’S air monitoring will be to detect faults in the Work Area isolation such as:

1. Contamination of the building outside the Work Area with airborne asbestos fibers.

2. Failure of filtration or rupture in the negative pressure system.

Should any of the above occur, the Abatement Contractor will immediately cease asbestos abatement activities until the fault is corrected. Work will not recommence until authorized by the CONSULTANT.

7.4 Work Area Airborne Fiber Counts.

The CONSULTANT will monitor airborne fiber counts in the work area. The purpose of this air monitoring will be to detect airborne fiber counts which may significantly challenge the ability of the work area isolation procedures to protect the balance of the building or outside of the building from contamination by airborne fibers.

After the Work Area is found to be visually clean and encapsulant has dried, CONSULTANT shall collect a minimum of three (3) air samples under aggressive sampling protocols and analyzed by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) in accordance with NIOSH 7400 Method A in area which abatement has occurred. A minimum air volume of 1,250 liters of air shall be sampled for final clearance air sampling. Final clearance criteria shall be <0.010f/cc for all clearance samples collected and analyzed.

If final air clearance criteria is not achieved, The Abatement Contractor shall repeat cleaning and continue decontamination procedures from that point.

If final clearance criteria is met, The Abatement Contractor shall remove plastic sheeting and decontamination unit.

7.5 Final Air Clearance.

Final Air testing will be performed by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM).

7.6 Airborne Fiber Counts.

Inside Work Area:

Where an enclosure is used, maintain an average airborne count in the work area of less than 1.0 fibers per cubic centimeter. If the fiber count rises above this figure for any sample taken, revise work procedures to lower fiber counts. If the Time Weighted Average (TWA) fiber count for any work shift or 8 hour period exceeds 0.2 fibers per cubic centimeter, stop all work, leave negative air system in operation, continue to periodically mist the atmosphere within the work area with amended water and notify CONSULTANT. Do not recommence work until authorized in writing by CONSULTANT.

If airborne fiber counts exceed 0.2 fibers per cubic centimeter for any period of time cease all work until fiber counts fall below 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter and notify CONSULTANT. Do not recommence work until authorized in writing by the CONSULTANT.

Outside Work Area:

If any air sample taken outside of the work area exceeds the action level of 0.001 fibers per cubic centimeter, immediately and automatically stop all work. If this air sample was taken inside the building and outside of critical barriers around the work area immediately erect new critical barriers as set forth in Section 4.0, to isolate the affected area from the balance of the building.

Erect Critical Barriers at the next existing structural isolation of the involved space (e.i. ceiling, wall and floor).

Decontaminate the affected area in accordance with accepted industry standards.

Respiratory protection as set forth in Section 3.0 shall be worn in affected area until area is cleared for occupancy.

Leave Critical Barriers in place until completion of work and insure that the operation of the negative pressure system in the work area results in a flow of air from the balance of the building into the affected area.

If the exit from the clean room of the personnel decontamination unit enters the affected area, establish a new decontamination facility.

After certification of visual inspection in the work area remove critical barriers separating the work area from the affected area. Final air samples will be taken within the entries area.

7.7 Fiber Type Dispute.

The following procedure will be used to resolve any disputes regarding fiber types when the Work has been stopped due to excessive airborne fiber counts:
