4. The contractor will be responsible for all notifications and/or waivers as applicable to regulatory agencies as well as associated fees.

5. The contractor will need to continue abatement activities until satisfactory clearance air sampling results are obtained from an independent third-party air-monitoring contractor that is to be included in this contract.

6. Notification of Asbestos Abatement: Advanced notification to the USEPA for anticipated asbestos abatement activity on RACM is required by 40 CFR 61.145. Notification to the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) is also required, but NFARS is not required to pay notification fees because NFARS is a federal installation. NYSDOL notification will be in accordance with New York Industrial Code Rule 56, and is made on forms provided by the commissioner or online through the NYSDOL website.

7. Work Area Preparation and Containment: The contractor shall establish a regulated abatement work area to prevent the migration of asbestos fibers.

8. Regulated Areas: All Class I, II, III asbestos work must be conducted within regulated areas.

The regulated area must be demarcated to minimize the number of people within the area and to protect people outside the area from airborne asbestos. Control access to regulated areas, ensure that only authorized personnel enter, and verify that Contractor required medical surveillance, training and respiratory protection program requirements are met prior to allowing entrance.
