About this file

This document is a Lead Control Plan prepared by Cross Environmental Services, Inc. (CES) for lead-based paint stabilization within the cafeteria main room of the Augusta Savage Arts and Community Center located in Green Cove Springs, Florida. The plan outlines a comprehensive approach to managing lead hazards, focusing on encapsulation rather than complete removal, using Fiberlock LBC (Lead Binding Compound) to stabilize existing lead-based paint surfaces. The project involves careful preparation, including HEPA vacuuming, wet scraping, and thorough cleaning, followed by the application of a specialized coating to minimize lead exposure risks.

The plan emphasizes stringent safety protocols, including detailed personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements, respiratory protection, medical monitoring, and waste management procedures. CES expects to keep airborne lead levels below the OSHA permissible exposure limit of 50 μg/m³. If waste generation exceeds regulatory limits, samples will be analyzed using the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP), and any hazardous waste will be transported by Greer Enterprises, LLC to the Glencoe landfill in Alabama. The document is submitted by Elijah Brown, Director of Safety and Health, and includes comprehensive safety guidelines, emergency procedures, and decontamination protocols to protect workers and the surrounding environment.

Background and Overview

Lead-based paints, coatings and films have been used to protect steel and steel products for many years. These same paints and products have been used as well to coat other building components such as concrete and CMUs.

In the case of paint film stabilization certain coatings have evolved that permit the application of a coating or coating over lead-based films or paints. These special encapsulation coatings will serve to help control exposures to the lead films or coatings beneath.

Plan Goals and Objectives

Protect site workers from lead abatement hazards as per this project Protect the nearby public from lead abatement hazards as per this project Protect the environment from lead abatement hazards and wastes as per this project

Both the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have numerous rules, regulations, and standards regarding the handling and abatement of lead containing films and coatings on structural steel as well as other materials.

OSHA in particular has detailed some practices that are forbidden as to the removal of lead films and coatings, such as direct burning on lead by open flame torch or by uncontrolled abrasive blasting. These methods are known to produce high airborne lead exposures to project employees and in certain cases even the general public.

These methods and processes are not part of this plan.

Like OSHA EPA wants control of airborne lead particulates as well as project wastes and waste materials contaminated by lead and lead residues.

Certain lead-based paints and coatings can be protected and stabilized depending on condition at time of protective coating application and product limits

Engineering, Administrative, Personal Protective Equipment

In the interest of both occupational and environmental safety and health we will use all three controls to effect site lead control and keep lead exposures in control to site abatement workers. The CES Respiratory Protection Plan and the CES Medical Monitoring Plan are incorporated here-in by reference. Medical monitoring is conducted annually by CES as per OSHA for respirator use and as needed for lead screening and evaluation. Respirator fit tests are documented.

Basic Baseline Medical Monitoring for Lead follows as per NIOSH. This notes the basic parameters for lead biological monitoring. The construction industry standard is more stringent than the OSHA General Industry Lead Standard.

Lead-Based Paint and or Coatings Controls-

In this case, Fiberlock LBC or Lead Binding Compound will be applied over lead-based paint substrates in NAS Jacksonville Hanger #124 to affect the reduction of lead exposure potential at the site and work as an agent to lessen future lead exposures within the product and substrate combination limits.

The work plan and outline goal are to control lead exposures during process setups, such as site mobilization, pre-work set up and then lead abatement (coating) and final cleanup, equipment and protective systems enclosures removal or removals.

A Fiberlock LBC Product Data Sheet follows, and the steps therein will be the application process for this work and is incorporated by reference.

As said earlier, using the Fiberlock LBC product bulletin as a guide the LBC will be applied to the lead-based paint or coatings on concrete, CMUs and other materials as per the statement of work. PPE will be used as per the bulletin and described below in this document.

The use of the Fiberlock LBC process fits the intent of OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 Lead in Construction and other protective means and methods for lead control and protection. The crux of this rule and other strategies are to keep airborne lead dusts as low as possible during operations such as in industrial lead film and paint removal or coatings abatement from structural steel for commercial and residential sites. Abatement does not always mean removal of lead-based paints or coatings; it can mean enclosure or encapsulation as well, Coating and Abatement Process- Steps

A. Site Inspection by CES Site Supervisor

1. Initial Site Safety Meeting and

2. Site Worker Briefing and Hazards and Controls Review

A. Fiberlock ABC application means and methods as per Fiberlock Technical Bulletin as inserted in this document and PPE use respiratory protection, disposable suits, gloves and decon procedures.

B. Site Lead Hazards and Control Methods

1. Personal Air Sampling for Airborne Lead dusts as per NIOSH 7105 as seen below next page. This NIOSH and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 accepted method uses 37 mm cellouse ester air sample cassette filter media and a personal sample pump at the worker's breathing zone to help determine lead exposure, this sample method will be used during initial work shifts as a negative exposure assessment to determine airborne lead levels if any. The usual procedure is to collect two full-shift air samples on the workers applying the chemicals to the paint and removing the wax paper like covering.

2. Use of CES employee PPE, for this project.

3. Use of lead warning signs to control access to immediate lead activity areas at the site as seen below:

4. Use of waste containers, drums to contain lead bearing wastes at the site marked with the following labels, if any wastes are generated as per RCRA if any are generated at this site and by the work at hand.

F. Review of Fiberlock LBC Coating Process

Put down drop cloths and use barricade tape and Lead Danger Signs as seen above to isolate the work area.

HEPA vacuum loose paint and wet scrape with water as the wetting agent. Do not flood only mist the loose and flaking paint.

Clean drop cloths and work area with careful and complete wet wiping and HEPA vacuuming so no visible debris is seen.

When the paint surfaces are ready to be coated as per the Fiberlock LBC Product Data Sheet as seen above use the means and methods in this publication to coat and seal the surface or surfaces in question.

After any phase of the lead stabilization work is completed make certain each in the lead work area disposes of their protective coveralls in a lead waste drum and cleans their respirator and washes hands and face and arms.

We do not expect the OSHA PEL or Action Limit for Lead at this site to be exceeded during the preparation and the application of Fiberlock LBC on these painted or coated surfaces.

G. Workers PPE Disposal

Worker protective suits, gloves, and other equipment that cannot be cleaned and neutralized will be disposed of and tested as per RCRA

40 CFR 240-261

H. Worker's Decontamination and Prevention

Site workers will decon by washing with soap and water at the site and especially before eating drinking or smoking. Smoking drinking and eating will not be permitted in the lead work area. All food and drink will be kept out of and away from the lead work area and abatement operations. Hand and face washing will be especially encouraged.

I. Summary

Based on the job and tasks for this work we do not expect that CES employees will be exposed at or above the 50 ug/m3 airborne lead levels as per OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62.

This is a coating and application process and not removal of the lead-based paint or coating substrate.

Even though we expect levels to be below the threshold, CES holds the standard to still ensure the protocol is in place for waste management. Prior to the removal of any waste, representative samples of each waste stream generated by the work will be collected and analyzed as per RCRA 40 CFE 240-280, and the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) as per 40 CFR 261.

Samples will be collected and sent to the following laboratory:
