(5) in the exhaust of the negative air machine. The qualified consultant shall coordinate the number of samples to be taken per designated area with Environmental Engineering.

Environmental Engineering shall have the final approval authority on the number of

02086-15 samples to be taken.

3.4.3 Personal Air Monitoring: Airborne concentrations of lead shall be collected and analyzed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62 and 8 CCR 1532.1 by an accredited laboratory. Results shall be reported in μg/m3. The competent person shall use personal air monitoring results to determine the effectiveness of engineering controls, the level of PPE, and to determine if proper work practices are being employed. Environmental Engineering, through the Contracting Officer, shall be notified immediately if any personal air monitoring result equals or exceeds 30 μg/m3. The Contractor and the qualified consultant shall take steps together to reduce the concentration of lead in the air.

3.4.4 Wipe Sampling: Wipe sampling for lead dust concentrations shall be conducted by the qualified consultant in accordance with applicable Federal, State and local regulations to determine if specified clearance criteria has been met. Air samples shall not be used for clearance purposes.

3.5 CLEANUP

3.5.1 Cleanup shall be accomplished in accordance with Chapter 14 of the 1995 HUD

Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing and the Contractor’s LBP abatement plan.

3.5.2 Surfaces in the LBP control area shall be maintained free of accumulations of paint chips and dust. Spread of dust and debris shall be restricted; waste shall not be distributed over the work area. Dry sweep or compressed air shall not be used for cleanup. At the end of each shift, the area shall be cleaned of all visible lead paint contamination by vacuuming with an HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner and wet mopping the area. LBP abatement work shall cease during the cleanup.

3.5.3 Completion of Abatement/Clearance

3.5.3.1 Upon completion of the LBP abatement and a satisfactory visual inspection by Environmental Engineering through the Contracting Officer in a given work area, a preliminary cleanup shall be performed by the Contractor. This cleanup includes removal of any contaminated material, equipment, or debris including polyethylene sheeting from the work area, except for critical barriers. The polyethylene sheeting shall be sprayed or misted with water for dust control and HEPA vacuumed. Polyethylene sheeting used for critical barriers shall remain in place until final clearance criteria. Once the polyethylene sheeting, except critical barriers, is removed from the work area, cleaning shall begin. It shall be done in the following sequence: HEPA vacuum; wet wipe with lead-specific detergent (trisodium phosphate shall not be used); and HEPA vacuum.

3.5.3.2 Upon completion of the final cleaning, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting

Officer and request a final visual inspection with Environmental Engineering. If the LBP control area and adjacent areas to the LBP control area do not pass the visual inspection, the Contractor shall re clean these areas at no additional expense to the Government. Final clearance testing shall not proceed until

02086-16

Environmental Engineering through the Contracting Officer has accepted the final cleaning by the Contractor.

3.5.4 Final Clearance Testing

3.5.4.1 Final clearance surface dust sampling shall be conducted by the qualified consultant in accordance with the 1995 HUD Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing, HUD Guidelines 1997 Chapter 7 Revision, and the Contractor’s abatement plan shall be conducted by the qualified consultant after a thorough cleanup has been completed and all surfaces have passed visual inspection. Where there is a conflict between Federal, State, and local regulatory clearance levels, the most stringent criteria at the time of clearance sampling shall be applied.

3.5.4.2 Should laboratory results indicate that any of the clearance dust wipe sample levels exceed regulatory limits, the Contractor shall re clean the affected area(s) at no additional cost to the Government. The Contractor shall utilize the specified cleaning methods. The qualified consultant, to determine if specified clearance criteria were met, shall perform re-testing. It shall be the financial responsibility of the Contractor for additional testing and the Contractor shall provide, at no additional cost to the Government, a re cleaning of the LBP control area and/or adjacent areas of the LBP control area until the clearance level is achieved. The Contractor shall provide the results of the wipe sampling within 48 hours after the completion of the sampling to Environmental Engineering through the Contracting Officer. Results shall be reported in μg/ft2.

3.5.4.3 During cleanup a final dust wipe clearance shall be performed after single cleanup iteration. If the samples are below acceptable Federal, State, local regulatory levels, the Contractor may request approval for one cleanup pass instead of two clean up passes. Environmental Engineering, through the Contracting Officer, shall approve this request.

3.5.4.4 DHS Form 8552: It shall be the responsibility of the qualified consultant to submit DHS Form 8552 to the DHS. A copy of this report shall be provided to

3.5.5 Certification

3.5.5.1 The qualified consultant shall certify in writing that the interior of the LBP control area and the area external to the LBP control area have met final clearance requirements. Environmental Engineering, through the Contracting Officer, will approve or disapprove the final clearance sampling report and the area abated prior to determining the project complete.

3.5.6 Removal of Containment

3.5.6.1 After approval of the final clearance certification and when authorized by the Contracting Officer, the LBP control area, containment barriers, and control

02086-17 structures, roped-off boundary, and warning signs shall be removed.

3.6 WASTE IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS

3.6.1 Environmental Engineering shall determine whether waste streams are hazardous in accordance with 40 CFR 262 and Title 22 CCR 66261, by using either generator knowledge of the waste or analytical testing.

3.6.2 The Contractor shall test any demolition waste containing lead-based paint to determine acceptable regulatory disposal methods. All lead containing waste shall be disposed of as hazardous waste in accordance with Title 22, CCR and 40 CFR, unless proved to be a non-hazardous waste using the Total Threshold Limit Concentration (TTLC), Soluble Threshold Limit Concentration (STLC), and Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) tests. Environmental Engineering shall approve all disposal methods. An accredited laboratory shall perform all tests.

3.6.3 The Contractor shall be responsible for representative sampling and analysis of waste.

Laboratory analysis results shall be provided to Environmental Engineering. The Contractor shall be responsible for managing both hazardous and non-hazardous waste in accordance with applicable Federal, State and local regulations.

3.7 WASTE DISPOSAL

3.7.1 Packaging

3.7.1.1 The Contractor shall package, mark, label and placard all items in such a manner that all applicable Federal, State and local regulations are met. If items must be packaged for proper shipment, the Contractor shall provide and affix the appropriate placards to each vehicle prior to leaving LAAFB premises.

3.7.1.2 The Contractor shall not leave debris in the LBP control area, yard, or nearby property, incinerate debris, dump waste by the road, or introduce lead-contaminated water into storm or sanitary sewers.
