The contractor shall make all applicable notices to federal and state authorities prior to commencement of work. Copies of such notifications must also be provided to the CO or COR prior to commencement of work. Asbestos containing materials shall be properly bagged and disposed of as directed by the COR to a site on the Depot.

The Contractor is WARNED THAT EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE ASBESTOS HAS BEEN

ASSOCIATED WITH FOUR DISEASES: LUNG CANCER, CERTAIN GASTROINTESTINAL

CANCERS, PLEURAL OR PERITONEL MESOTHELIMONA AND ASBESTOSIS. Studies indicate there are significantly increased health dangers to persons exposed to asbestos who smoke, and further, to family members and other persons who become indirectly exposed as a result of the exposed worker bringing asbestos-laden work clothing home to be laundered. The Contractor is advised that friable and/or non-friable asbestos-containing material may be encountered in area(s) where contract work is to be performed. Asbestos-containing material (ACM) is any material that contains more than one-percent asbestos by weight. Friable ACM is material that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Non-friable asbestos-containing materials are materials in which asbestos fibers are bound by a matrix material, saturant, impregnant or coating. Non-friable ACM does not normally release airborne asbestos fiber during routine handling and end use. However, excessive fiber concentrations may be produced during uncontrolled abrading, sanding, drilling, cutting, machining, removal, demolition or other similar activities. Care must be taken to avoid releasing or causing to be released, asbestos fibers into the atmosphere where they may be inhaled or ingested. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set standards at 29 CFR 1910.1001 for exposure to airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers. Methods of compliance, medical surveillance, housekeeping procedures and other measures that must be taken when working with or around asbestos-containing materials. 29 CFR 1910.1001 has been identified as applicable to construction (29 CFR 1926.55 gases, vapors, fumes, dusts and mists). The environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established standards at 40 CFR 61.140.156 for the control of asbestos emissions to the environmental and handling the disposal of asbestos wastes. Friable ACM is not permitted by current criteria and shall not be used in new construction of modification projects. Plans and specifications for all new construction and modification projects will be reviewed to insure that the use of friable ACM is not called for.

C. .4 Lead containing materials shall be removed and disposed of by a certified lead abatement contractor IAW all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Lead containing materials shall be properly bagged and disposed of as directed by the COR to a site on Depot.

C.2 SAFETY AND HEALTH:

Contractors shall adhere to all safety rules and regulation of corrective actions, which will be taken into consideration:
