SECTION 02 82 00

ASBESTOS REMEDIATION

08/25

NOTE: This guide specification covers the requirements for safety procedures and requirements for the demolition, removal, encapsulation, and disposal of asbestos containing materials (ACM).

This specification is used in conjunction with Section 01 35 26 GOVERNMENT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.

Adhere to UFC 1-300-02 Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) Format Standard when editing this guide specification or preparing new project specification sections. Edit this guide specification for project specific requirements by adding, deleting, or revising text. For bracketed items, choose applicable item(s) or insert appropriate information.

Remove information and requirements not required in respective project, whether or not brackets are present.

Comments, suggestions and recommended changes for this guide specification are welcome and should be submitted as a Criteria Change Request (CCR) .

NOTE: Federal regulations require EPA model accreditation plan training to edit this document.

Furthermore, asbestos abatement designers must be accredited and licensed to design asbestos work in the location of the construction.

Nonfriable asbestos containing materials do not always require special handling. However, during demolition and removal of this material dust and airborne asbestos fibers are sometimes released. If the project contains nonfriable asbestos which may release fibers when demolished and removed, the

SECTION 02 82 00 Page 5 nonfriable asbestos must be removed in the same way as friable asbestos. Friable ACM must always be removed prior to any building demolition. Any presumed ACM must be managed as ACM until proven otherwise through testing by a certified asbestos professional following applicable local, state and federal regulations.

In 1994, the EPA clarified for multi-layered systems (other than wallboard systems where asbestos containing joint compounds is used only at the joints and nail holes) to follow NESHAP and Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) (40 CFR Part

763) programs.

OSHA regulations address worker protection, NESHAPS (EPA), state, and locat regulations address emission controls and disposal requirements, and they have different definitions as to what constitutes ACM in wallboard/joint compound systems. Therefore, where wallboard/joint compound are suspected to contain ACM, analyze both discrete samples (separate samples from wallboard and joint compound) to address worker protection and composite samples (wallboard system as a whole) to address disposal requirements. It is not unusual for the wallboard itself and the wallboard system (taken as a whole) to contain less than 1 percent asbestos, but the discrete joint compound samples to contain greater than 1 percent asbestos. Problems can arise if these materials are not properly categorized in the design.

Asbestos operations do not always indicate negative pressure enclosure type asbestos control with all of its attendant requirements. The location of the area, type of material, and initial as well as other exposure assessments for abatement workers and the environment must be reviewed and a judgment made by the designer as to the precise asbestos control techniques described herein that may be safely and legally used.

The designer must not use asbestos containing materials wherever a substitute exists.

The limits and conditions of asbestos hazard abatement efforts must be indicated on the drawings or in the specification in sufficient detail for the Contractor to submit an accurate bid. Portions of the building where asbestos work takes place must be unoccupied during the removal operation. It is highly recommended that the entire building be unoccupied during asbestos hazard abatement operations. If portions of the building where asbestos hazard abatement is not taking place must remain occupied, additional requirements must be added for providing temporary heating/cooling and other utilities to the occupied portions of the

SECTION 02 82 00 Page 6 building. The building heating/cooling system for example cannot be operated in the asbestos control area and due to wet removal procedures, electrical service to the asbestos control area may need to be shut off and resupplied through a ground fault circuit interrupter. In addition, the rooms with openings into the room undergoing asbestos abatement must be empty with critical barriers installed to provide a buffer zone.

NOTE: Provide the following information on the project drawings:

1. Clearly show location, extent, condition and form of asbestos materials to be controlled or in contact with other non-ACM removals or new work.

NOTE: The work may involve a historic property.

The designer must coordinate review of the proposed work with the appropriate cultural resources manager (CRM) and cultural resource laws and regulations, as part of the environmental review and permitting process. Consultation with stakeholders, including the state historic preservation office, may be required, and work involving historic properties will likely be required to confirm to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties (usually at the REHABILITATION level). See https://www.nps.gov/tps/standards/four-treatments/ treatment-rehabilitation.htm .

The use of this section in the contract specification means that known asbestos material is involved. Estimate the quantity and specify as unit price items in Section 00 21 13, INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS or Section 01 20 00 Price and Payment

SECTION 02 82 00 Page 14

Procedures per standard practice of the activity preparing the contract.

NOTE: Include reference to 40 CFR 763 when asbestos work occurs in a public or private school Grades K thru 12.

NOTE: Nonfriable ACM may not require special handling. However, during demolition and removal of this material dust and airborne asbestos fibers are sometimes released. If the project contains nonfriable asbestos which may release fibers when demolished and removed, the nonfriable asbestos must be removed in the same way as friable asbestos.

Include "Under normal ... specified herein.", if material traditionally defined as non-friable asbestos materials are to be removed.

NOTE: The appropriate engineering control technique must comply with the requirements outlined in 29 CFR

1926.1101 which is selected based on existing conditions, but must be that technique that provides the best control during abatement at most reasonable cost.

The work covered by this section includes the handling and control of asbestos containing materials and describes some of the resultant procedures and equipment required to protect workers, the environment and occupants of the building or area, or both, from contact with airborne asbestos fibers. The work also includes the disposal of any asbestos containing materials generated by the work. More specific operational procedures must be outlined in the Asbestos Hazard Abatement Plan called for elsewhere in this specification. The asbestos work includes the[ demolition and removal][ encapsulation] of [_____] located [_____][ which is governed by 40 CFR 763 and NAVFAC P-502 ].[ Under normal conditions non-friable or chemically bound materials containing asbestos would not be considered hazardous; however, this material may release airborne asbestos fibers during demolition and removal and therefore must be handled in accordance with the removal and disposal procedures as specified herein.] Provide[ negative pressure enclosure] [_____] techniques as outlined in this specification. The[ building][ work area] must be evacuated during the asbestos abatement work. A competent person must supervise asbestos removal work as specified herein.

1.3.1.1 Wallboard/Joint Compound

NOTE: When both composite and discrete sampling and testing is done on wallboard/joint compound, include and edit the following to address the site specific situation:

SECTION 02 82 00 Page 15

[ Both composite samples of the wallboard and discrete samples of the components (wallboard and joint compound) have been tested and results are attached.

][ Composite samples of the wallboard system were tested and found to contain[ less than one percent asbestos] [_____]. Discrete samples of the wallboard were tested and found to contain[ less than one percent asbestos] [_____]. Discrete samples of the joint compound were tested and found to contain[ greater than one percent asbestos] [_____].

] 1.3.2 Unexpected Discovery of Asbestos

NOTE: Discovery of Unexpected Asbestos: Suspect asbestos containing material or PACM that is discovered during demolition (in particular buildings constructed no later than 1980), which was previously inaccessible, must be sampled and analyzed for its asbestos content or classified as PACM. The Designer should anticipate additional sampling and analysis. The Designer should provide Unit Price options in the Bid Form. Coordinate with the Designer of Record. The number of additional samples should be based on the extent of demolition and previous survey data. Sampling activities undertaken to determine the presence of additional ACM should be conducted by personnel who have successfully completed the EPA Model Accreditation (MAP) training course and have EPA/State certification/license as an Asbestos Inspector.

Notify the Contracting Officer if any previously untested building components suspected to contain asbestos are impacted by the work.
