3.4.3. Visible Emissions Monitoring: Prepare a Visible Emissions Monitoring Plan for Location 2 only. Measure the time of emissions in accordance with 40 CFR 60, App A, Mtd 22. Monitor visible emissions for not less than 15 minutes of every hour. Calculate visible emissions for each hour by extrapolation. In no case shall visible emissions extend greater than 150 feet in any direction horizontal from the containment. In no case shall visible emissions be observed in the area of any sensitive receptor. If such emissions occur the job shall be shut down immediately and corrective action taken. Notify the foreman whenever visible emissions exceed 40 seconds in a 1 hour period for lead based paint removal operations and 200 seconds in a 1 hour period for nonhazardous paint removal operations. The foreman shall be notified and the job shall be shut down and corrective action taken whenever visible emissions for lead based paint removal operations exceed 75 seconds and for nonhazardous paint removal operations. The foreman shall be notified and the job shall be shut down and corrective action taken whenever visible emissions for lead based paint removal operations exceed 75 seconds in a 2 hour period or 300 seconds in a 2 hour period for nonhazardous paint removal operations. Total observed visible emissions from the containment shall not exceed 1 percent and 5 percent of the work day for lead based paint and nonhazardous paint removal operations respectively. Shutdown and corrective action shall be taken to prevent such an occurrence. Document each time that the work is halted due to a violation of the visible emissions criteria.

Documentation shall include the cause for shutdown and the corrective action taken to resolve the problem.

3.4.4. TSP Monitoring: Prepare a TSP Monitoring Plan for Location 2 only.

Perform TSP monitoring. The positioning of air monitoring equipment shall be in accordance with 40 CFR 58, App E, Subpart (8). In addition, use a minimum of two TSP monitors at the project site, one downwind from the project and one in the area of greatest public access (e.g. playground, school yard, or homeowner's yard). Conduct TSP-lead monitoring in accordance with 40 CFR 50, App B. Monitoring shall be conducted throughout the entire period that abrasive blasting and cleanup operations are performed. Failure to meet air quality regulatory limits shall require air monitoring to be repeated immediately after corrective actions have been taken. Also conduct pre-project TSP monitoring. The pre-project TSP monitoring shall be conducted a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the project.

Continue the monitoring for a minimum of 3 days to establish background levels. Submit a TSP Test Report to the Contracting Officer within 48 hours including:

a. Name and location of jobsite.

b. Date of monitoring.

c. Time of monitoring (i.e., time monitoring begins and ends each day).

d. Identification and serial number of monitoring units.

e. Drawing showing specific location of monitoring units.

f. Drawing showing specific location of paint removal operation and the method of removal or work activity being performed.

g. Wind direction and velocity.

h. A flow chart verifying the rate of air flow across the filter throughout the sampling period.

i. Name and address of laboratory.

j. Laboratory test procedure.

k. Laboratory test results.

l. Signatures of field and la boratory technicians conducting the work.

3.4.5. Water Quality: Prepare a Water Quality Plan for Location 2 only.

Conduct operations in such a manner that lead-containing and other hazardous paint debris do not contaminate the water and so that NPDES permits in accordance with EPA regulation 40 CFR 122 are not required for the project.

In the event that there are any releases of lead paint debris into the waterway, with reportable quantities of hazardous substances designated pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act, they shall be reported to the EPA in accordance with 40 CFR 117 and 40 CFR 355. Releases or spills that carry into waterways or storm sewers shall be thoroughly documented.

The documentation shall include the time and location of the release, amount of material released, actions taken to clean up the debris, amount of debris recovered, and corrective action taken to avoid a reoccurrence. Releases shall also be reported to the Coast Guard and other state and local authorities as appropriate. If the release is equivalent to 10 pounds or more of lead-containing material in a 24-hour period, it is considered to be a reportable quantity under CERCLA. Comply with 40 CFR 302.

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 12

3.4.6. Soil Quality: Prepare a Soil Quality Plan for Location 2 only.

Establish and implement practices and procedures for preventing contamination of the soil from the removal of lead-containing or other hazardous paints. Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, soil shall be considered to have been contaminated by the Contractor's operation if an increase in the total lead content of 100 PPM or greater over background levels occurs. For purposes of computing the increase, compute the mean background levels and the mean post-removal levels. The 100 PPM criterion is met if the difference between the means is less than 100 PPM plus the 95 percent confidence limit. Soil sampling and testing shall be conducted prior to the beginning of the project and after the project is completed. Interim testing may also be performed in the event the Contractor or COR wants to confirm that the containment system and work practices continue to provide satisfactory protection of the soil. Unless otherwise directed by the COR, the following minimum test locations shall be selected for soil analysis. Two locations shall be selected beneath or immediately adjacent to the structure being prepared and additional samples shall be taken within 100 feet in each direction of the project (i.e., N, S, E, W) in which soil is present. The number of soil sample locations shall be sufficient to adequately characterize the soil contaminant levels within and around the project area. Five composite samples shall be collected at each location. Each of the five samples shall be comprised of five individual plugs of soil combined in a single bag. The composite samples at each location shall be collected using the following procedure:

a. Place a 1-square foot template at each location.

b. Remove a sample of soil 3/4 inch in diameter and 1/2 inch in depth at the center of the template and at each of the four corners. Place the five soil plugs into a single bag. This represents one of the five samples to be removed at a given location.

c. Move the template 1 inch in any direction and repeat the process to collect the second sample. Place all plugs in a separate bag. Move the template 1 additional inch farther to collect the third, fourth, and fifth samples.

d. Identify each sample bag with the date, specific location of the sample, name and signature of the sampling technician, and complete chain of custody records.

e. It is critical that the specific location of each sample be thoroughly measured and documented as the final project testing (and any interim testing) shall be sampled in the precise locations.

Three samples collected at each location shall be analyzed. One of the remaining two samples shall be maintained by the Contractor for the duration of the project and the other by the COR in the event reanalysis is required.

Lead-containing samples shall be analyzed in accordance with EPA testing guidance as published in 40 CFR 261, App III, by a laboratory listed by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) as being proficient in conducting the test. Note that if it is determined that contamination of the soil has occurred as a result of the paint removal operations, TCLP testing will be employed to determine if the soil shall be handled and disposed of as a hazardous waste. The initial sampling of the soil for total lead content does not establish whether the soil would be considered hazardous by TCLP testing. As a result, at the Contractor's option, additional prework soil samples may be removed (minimum of 105 grams is required for a single test at each site) to conduct TCLP testing to establish whether the soil

SECTION 01 11 00 Page 13 would be classified as hazardous prior to project startup. In the event that there is a release of lead paint debris onto the soil and if the release is 10 pounds or more of lead-containing material in a 24-hour period, it is considered to be a reportable quantity under CERCLA. Comply with 40 CFR 302.

Thoroughly document the occurrence of any spills of lead debris into the soil. The documentation shall include the time and location of the release, amount of material released, actions taken to clean up the debris, amount of debris reclaimed, and corrective action taken to avoid a reoccurrence. The documentation shall be provided to the Contracting Officer and shall also include the Soil Quality Test Report.
