PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 PILOT ABATEMENT PROJECT: Prior to beginning full-scale abatement, a pilot abatement project shall demonstrate the specified abatement procedure on the indicated facility. Pre-abatement lead dust samples shall be collected from each type of surface in the pilot facility as specified in paragraphs Wipe Sampling, and Pre-abatement Lead-Dust Wipe Samples. The Contracting Officer shall evaluate the following during the pilot abatement project:

Lead dust wipe samples shall be collected and analyzed during abatement and for final clearance as specified in paragraph Wipe Sampling. If results of analysis indicate that lead levels are above clearance levels, the Contractor shall evaluate his/her abatement cleanup procedures. If clearance levels are low and continue to be low, less restrictive engineering controls may be proposed by the Contractor.

If personal air sample analyses indicate that action levels or permissible exposure limits specified in 29 CFR 1926 Section .62 have not been exceeded, then respirator protection may become less restrictive. Half-face respirators shall be the minimum respiratory protection employed

During cleanup a final dust wipe clearance shall be performed after a single cleanup' iteration. If the samples are below acceptable levels the Contractor may request approval for one cleanup pass instead of two cleanup passes.

Adequate samples of waste generated (water, solid components, caustic paste, filters, paint chips, etc.) shall be collected for Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure

(TCLP) testing. The TCLP test shall be performed by an accredited laboratory.
