Workers must obey all park regulations and drivers must obey all traffic laws and watch for animals on or alongside roads or within the project area. Contact NPS Dispatch at: (808) 985- 6170 immediately if an animal is hit or injured or will not move off the road.

B. General Mitigations: Within the project area, the following mitigation measures are required to minimize disturbance to T&E species:

1. The project area shall be cleaned up at the end of each work shift so that tools, materials, debris, and trash are not left out in a manner that could be a hazard to T&E species. All waste must be cleaned up by end of day and waste containers must be covered (especially any that may have food waste) and must be emptied regularly.

2. Noise and vibrations from tools and equipment shall be kept to a minimum when working in the vicinity of a listed T&E species.

3. Hazmat spill prevention protocols shall be employed when using gas-powered equipment.

4. Ensure no standing water on tarps or other construction surfaces in any of the parks in the Hawaiian Islands as it may be a breeding ground for mosquitoes which can carry Dengue fever, avian malaria, avian flu, and other diseases.

5. Ensure loose nails, screws, and fasteners do not fall on the ground when working on exterior surfaces as these can be a hazard to T&E species. If they do land on the ground, pick them up immediately and dispose of them properly.

C. Requirements for Specific T&E Species:

1. Nēnē (Hawaiian goose) - Nēnē are frequently spotted along the roadside at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park (HAVO) and do not readily move when approached by cars. If there is a Nēnē on the road, drivers must stop and allow the Nēnē to move away on its own. Drivers should be aware that Nēnē may suddenly appear on the road from low brush and to be especially attentive of this on foggy and/or rainy days. In general, do not approach Nēnē and keep at least 60 feet away. Due to Nēnē breeding, construction activities may be limited at Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park (HAVO) during the windows outlined below. Refer also to the “Working Around Endangered Birds” factsheet at the end of Section 01 11 40.

• Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park - Nēnē breeding: From September 1 to May 1.

1.02 DEFINITIONS

A. Amended Water: Water containing a wetting agent or surfactant with a surface tension of at least 29 dynes per square centimeter when tested in accordance with

ASTM D 1331.

B. Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM): Any materials containing more than 1 percent asbestos.

C. Authorized Person: Any person authorized by the Contractor and required by work duties to be present in the regulated areas.

D. Building Inspector: Individual who inspects buildings for asbestos and has EPA

Model Accreditation Plan (MAP) "Building Inspector" training; accreditation required by 40 CFR 763, Subpart E, Appendix C, has EPA/State certification/license as a "Building Inspector".

02 82 00 - 4

E. Class I Asbestos Work: Activities defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) involving the removal of thermal system insulation (TSI) and surfacing ACM.

F. Class II Asbestos Work: Activities defined by OSHA involving the removal of ACM which is not thermal system insulation or surfacing material. This includes, but is not limited to, the removal of asbestos-containing wallboard, floor tile and sheeting, roofing and siding shingles, and construction mastic. Certain "incidental" roofing materials such as mastic, flashing and cements when they are still intact are excluded from Class II asbestos work. Removal of small amounts of these materials which would fit into a glove bag may be classified as a Class III job.

G. Class III Asbestos Work: Activities defined by OSHA that involves repair and maintenance operations, where ACM, including TSI and surfacing ACM, is likely to be disturbed. Operations may include drilling, abrading, cutting a hole, cable pulling, crawling through tunnels or attics and spaces above the ceiling, where asbestos is actively disturbed or asbestos-containing debris is actively disturbed.

H. Class IV Asbestos Work: Maintenance and custodial construction activities during which employees contact but do not disturb ACM and activities to clean-up dust, waste and debris resulting from Class I, II, and III activities. This may include dusting surfaces where ACM waste and debris and accompanying dust exists and cleaning up loose ACM debris from TSI or surfacing ACM following construction.

I. Clean room: An uncontaminated room having facilities for the storage of employees' street clothing and uncontaminated materials and equipment.

J. Competent Person: In addition to the definition in 29 CFR 1926.32(f), a person who is capable of identifying existing asbestos hazards as defined in 29 CFR 1926.1101, selecting the appropriate control strategy, has the authority to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them and has EPA MAP "Contractor/Supervisor" training; has EPA/State certification/license as a "Contractor/Supervisor."

K. Contractor/Supervisor: Individual who supervises asbestos abatement work and has

EPA Model Accreditation Plan "Contractor/Supervisor" training; has EPA/State certification as a "Contractor/Supervisor."

L. Critical Barrier: One or more layers of plastic sealed over all openings into a regulated area or any other similarly placed physical barrier sufficient to prevent airborne asbestos in a regulated area from migrating to an adjacent area.

02 82 00 - 5

M. Decontamination Area: An enclosed area adjacent and connected to the regulated area and consisting of an equipment room, shower area, and clean room, which is used for the decontamination of workers, materials, and equipment that are contaminated with asbestos.

R. Fiber: A fibrous particulate, 5 micrometers or longer, with a length to width ratio of at least 3 to 1.

S. Friable ACM: A term defined in 40 CFR 61, Subpart M and EPA 340/1-90/018 meaning any material which contains more than 1 percent asbestos, as determined using the method specified in 40 CFR 763, polarized light microscopy (PLM), that when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

T. Glove bag: Not more than a 1.5 by 1.5 m 60 by 60 inch impervious plastic bag-like enclosure affixed around an asbestos-containing material, with glove-like appendages through which material and tools may be handled.

U. High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filter: A filter capable of trapping and retaining at least 99.97 percent of all mono-dispersed particles of 0.3 micrometers in diameter.

V. Intact: ACM which has not crumbled, been pulverized, or otherwise deteriorated so that the asbestos is no longer likely to be bound with its matrix. Removal of "intact" asphaltic, resinous, cementitious products does not render the ACM non-intact simply by being separated into smaller pieces.

02 82 00 - 6

W. Model Accreditation Plan: EPA training accreditation requirements for persons who work with asbestos as specified in 40 CFR 763.

X. Negative Initial Exposure Assessment: A demonstration by the Contractor to show that employee exposure during an operation is expected to be consistently below the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits.

Y. NESHAP: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants. The EPA

NESHAP regulation for asbestos is at 40 CFR 61, Subpart M.

Z. Nonfriable ACM: A NESHAP term defined in 40 CFR 61, Subpart M and EPA 340/1-90/018 meaning any material containing more than 1 percent asbestos that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

AA. Nonfriable ACM (Category I): A NESHAP term defined in 40 CFR 61, Subpart E and EPA 340/1-90/018 meaning asbestos-containing packings, gaskets, resilient floor covering, and asphalt roofing products containing more than 1 percent asbestos.

BB. Nonfriable ACM (Category II): A NESHAP term defined in 40 CFR 61, Subpart E and EPA 340/1-90/018 meaning any material, excluding Category I nonfriable ACM, containing more than 1 percent asbestos.

CC. Project Environmental Consultant (PEC): A licensed consultant who is specially accredited to oversee projects for the abatement of asbestos and monitor the quality of air and who authorizes the final clearance for projects for the abatement of asbestos on the owner’s behalf.

DD. Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs):

1. PEL-Time weighted average (TWA): Concentration of asbestos not in excess of 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter of air (f/cc) as an 8 hour time weighted average (TWA).

2. PEL-Excursion Limit: An airborne concentration of asbestos not in excess of

1.0 f/cc of air as averaged over a sampling period of 30 minutes.

EE. Regulated Area: An OSHA term defined in 29 CFR 1926.1101 meaning an area established by the Contractor to demarcate areas where Class I, II, and III asbestos work is conducted; also any adjoining area where debris and waste from such asbestos work accumulate; and an area within which airborne concentrations of asbestos exceed, or there is a reasonable possibility they may exceed, the permissible exposure limit.

02 82 00 - 7

FF. Removal: All operations where ACM is taken out or stripped from structures or substrates and include demolition operations.

GG. Repair: Overhauling, rebuilding, reconstructing, or reconditioning of structures or substrates, including encapsulation or other repair of ACM attached to structures or substrates.

HH. Surfacing ACM: Asbestos-containing material which contains more than 1 percent asbestos and is sprayed-on, troweled-on, or otherwise applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, or other purposes.
