All spill clean-ups will be completed by trained personnel only and in accordance with the DEQ Spill Response:

For spills beyond the capabilities of contractor personnel or if it has impacted a storm drain or waterway, call the Park Service Fire Dept at 911.

Determine if the spill can be contained by the contractor. If it can be contained without injury to personnel, without assistance from Park Service response personnel, and has not impacted a storm drain or waterway, perform the following:

Evacuate immediate area of the spill if warranted by the type of release.

Ensure all workers shut down their operations and secure equipment, time permitting.

Stop the source of the spill without undue risk of personal injury. Use on-site containment, safety equipment, and materials.

Contain and/or control the release. Clean up the release using proper absorbent media for the chemical spilled.

Recover as much of the spill as possible using absorbent media or approved vacuum device to minimize hazardous waste volume. Do not hose down the spilled material into storm drains.

Report the spill to the Contracting Officer for the proper reporting and guidance and proper disposal of recovered material.

Do not fasten or attach ropes, cables, or guys to existing nearby trees for anchorages unless authorized by the Contracting Officer. Where such use of attached ropes, cables, or guys is authorized, the contractor shall be responsible for any resultant damage.

Protect existing trees that are to remain and that may be injured, bruised, defaced, or otherwise damaged by construction operations. Remove displaced rocks from uncleared areas.

24. Lead Control:

A system of control methods to prevent the spread of lead dust, paint chips or debris to adjacent areas that may include temporary containment, floor or ground cover protection (tarps), physical boundaries, and warning signs to prevent unauthorized entry of personnel. HEPA filtered local exhaust equipment may be used as engineering controls to further reduce personnel exposures or building/outdoor environmental contamination.

25. Lead permissible exposure:

Fifty micrograms per cubic meter of air as an 8-hour time weighted average as determined by 29 CFR 1926.62. If an employee is exposed for more than eight hours in a workday, the PEL shall be determined by the following formula.

26. Personal Sampling:

sampling of airborne lead concentrations within the breathing zone of an employee to determine the 8-hour time weighted average concentration in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62. Samples shall be representative of the employees' work tasks. Breathing zone shall be considered an area within a hemisphere, forward of the shoulders, with a radius of 6 to 9 inches and centered at the nose or mouth of an employee.

27. Physical Boundary:

Area physically roped or partitioned off around an enclosed lead control area to limit unauthorized entry of personnel. As used in this section, "inside boundary" shall mean the same as "outside lead control area but inside the physical boundary."

The contractor shall coordinate with work being performed in adjacent areas.

d. Spill prevention, containment, and cleanup contingency measures including a health and safety plan to be implemented in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.65. Work plan and schedule for waste containment, removal and disposal. Wastes shall be cleaned up and containerized daily. Proper containment of the waste includes using acceptable waste containers (e.g., 55-gallon drums) as well as proper marking/labeling of the containers.

e. Perform paint removal work without damage or contamination of adjacent areas. Where existing work is damaged or contaminated, restore work to its original condition or better.

29. Cleaning and Disposal:

Maintain surfaces of the lead control area free of accumulations of paint chips and dust. Restrict the spread of dust and debris; keep waste from being distributed over the work area. Do not dry sweep or use compressed air to clean up the area. At the end of each shift and when the paint removal operation has been completed, clean the area of visible lead paint contamination. After visible dust, chips and debris is removed.

Place waste materials in U.S. Department of Transportation approved 55-gallon drums. Properly label each drum to identify the type of waste and the date the drum was filled. For hazardous waste, the collection drum requires marking/labeling in accordance with 40 CFR 262 during the accumulation/collection timeframe. The Contracting Officer or an authorized representative will assign an area for interim storage of waste-containing drums. Do not store hazardous waste drums in interim storage longer than 90 calendar days from the date affixed to each drum.

All material, whether hazardous or non-hazardous shall be disposed in accordance with laws and provisions and Federal, State, or local regulations. Ensure waste is properly characterized. The result of each waste characterization (TCLP for RCRA materials) will dictate disposal requirements.
