Submit written evidence that the landfill(s) selected are approved for disposal of asbestos by the EPA, state, and local regulatory agencies. Containers and disposal of Lead and Heavy metals shall be coordinated through the Hill AFB Hazardous Waste Facility.

A-014. WORK PROCEDURE:

Perform abatement related work in accordance with Air Force, OSHA, EPA and UDAQ regulations, and as specified herein. At times the Government may require that the work shall be supervised at all times by an independent third party consultant. This individual shall be certified in the State of Utah as a Contractor/Supervisor. Also at times, the government may choose to perform all sample analysis on base. Such requirements will be spelled out specifically in the Statement of Work for each delivery order prior to negotiating fees.

Personnel shall wear and use protective clothing and equipment as specified. Eating, smoking, drinking, chewing tobacco or chewing gum shall not be permitted when wearing a respirator of any type. Personnel of other trades not engaged in the abatement activities shall not be exposed to asbestos, LBP, heavy metals, etc., unless they are trained in the use of and are wearing the necessary protection as specified above. The contractor shall isolate the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system to prevent contamination when feasible.

When using amended water as required, the contractor shall also provide temporary electrical service to the work area that is ground fault protected and isolate the remaining electrical service so that power can be interrupted without disrupting service to the occupied areas. At times when the building is turned over to the contractor and is unoccupied, the contractor shall lock out and tag out the building HVAC system and electrical services, when abatement is performed and provide temporary electrical service protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter.

A. Movable Furnishings: All movable furnishings, equipment, and fixtures in the proposed work area shall be pre-cleaned with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter equipped vacuuming devices or wet cleaning methods. After cleaning, the items shall be removed from the work area and stored in an area that is not subject to asbestos contamination. Cover all non-movable objects in the work area with 6-mil polyethylene sheeting secured into place. The items shall not be returned to the work area until final cleanup has been completed, a final visual inspection by Civil Engineering has been completed and a final aggressive air clearance sampling has been completed when required and has been successfully documented.

B. Accessibility of Work Areas:

The Government will rearrange areas to the extent of providing a reasonable, direct, and unobstructed path to the work site. During abatement, the Contractor shall confine his equipment and employee pattern to these designated areas. Where the building is still occupied during the removal operations, interference with the functional operation of the building occupants outside of these areas will not be permitted. Where conflicts arise due to

Contractor’s operations, the decision of the Contracting Officer or their authorized representative shall be final.

C. Asbestos Handling Procedures:

1. General: Adequately wet asbestos material with a fine spray of amended water before and during removal, cutting, or other handling to reduce the emission of airborne fibers. Remove material and immediately place in plastic disposal bags. Where water is generated it will be necessary to filter the water to remove asbestos fibers using a 5-micron water filtration system before disposal. When wrap and cut method is used to remove both piping and insulation, wet the insulation, then, using the negative pressure glove bag technique, remove 10-inch to 12-inch sections of the pipe insulation and encapsulate exposed edges of the asbestos insulation to remain, and remove the pipe. Where unusual circumstances prohibit the use of plastic disposal bags, the industrial hygienist shall submit, in the asbestos plan, an alternate proposal for removal of asbestos materials and containment of asbestos fibers.

2. Exposed Pipe Insulation Edges: Encapsulate exposed edges of asbestos insulation to remain.

Wet and cut the rough ends true and square with sharp tools and encapsulate the edges with a ¼-inch-thick layer of insulating cement troweled to a smooth, hard finish. When cement is dry, lag the end with a layer of fiberglass cloth and thermal insulation adhesive, overlapping the existing ends by 4 inches. When insulating cement and cloth are an impractical method of sealing raw edges of asbestos, take appropriate steps to seal the raw edges as approved by the Contracting Officer. Remove existing asbestos insulation for new piping connections during the asbestos handling and disposal procedures as specified herein.

D. Identification of Asbestos-free Insulation:

Apply “ASBESTOS-FREE” markings to the exterior jackets of non-asbestos insulated piping installed herein. Letter size shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-101. Apply marking at maximum of 20-foot intervals. Indicate the limits of “ASBESTOS-FREE” insulation with a 1-inch wide band with attached arrow pointing in the direction of the label “ASBESTOS-FREE.”

Paint markings in orange, No. l2246 of Fed. Std. 595.

E. Air Monitoring:

Monitoring of airborne concentrations of asbestos, LBP, or heavy metals shall be in accordance with applicable regulations for the specific materials identified. The Government shall have the option to perform independent monitoring if needed.

1. Monitoring Prior to Abatement Work: Provide area monitoring and establish the baseline Time Weighted Average (TWA) 1 day prior to the construction of regulated work areas when required. The baseline TWA is determined by taking at least three general area air samples in each abatement site.

2. Monitoring During Abatement Work: Provide personal and area monitoring to establish the TWA and excursion levels during the exposure to airborne concentrations of asbestos.

A-015. CLEARANCE SAMPLING:

When required after the removal site has passed the visual inspection, the Industrial Hygienist shall perform an aggressive air sample of the area (at least 3 samples per removal site, with minimum volume of 1800 liters per sample). Submit the results of these samples to the 75 CES/CEOHA office. The contractor shall not remove the containment area until written permission is received from the 75 CES/CEOHA office. Should any of the final samplings indicate an unacceptable value, (acceptable clearance levels shall be identified based on the materials identified for each individual project) the Contractor shall re-clean the area and shall repeat the clearance process until acceptable levels are achieved. All costs associated with re-cleaning and re-testing as a result of failure to meet clearance-sampling limits or visual inspections mentioned above shall be borne by the contractor.

A-016. WASTE HANDLING:

Asbestos Collect asbestos waste, scrap, debris, bags, containers, equipment, and asbestos-contaminated clothing, which may produce airborne concentrations of asbestos fibers in leak-tight impermeable container for disposal, using one of the following containment methods:

A. If asbestos waste contains sharp edged components, use metal or fiber drums with locking-ring tops.

B. Double polyethylene bags, each of at least 6-mil thickness and which can be securely sealed, may be used for asbestos waste, provided it does not contain sharp edged components.

C. Large components or structural members covered or coated with friable asbestos-containing materials may be removed intact and wrapped in two layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting secured with tape for disposal.

D. Alternate containment methods may be used if written approval is obtained in advance from the UDAQ.

E. The name Hill Air Force Base and the location of the site where the asbestos waste was generated must be clearly and permanently affixed to the container or wrapping.

F. Dispose of asbestos materials in the approved EPA landfill designated in the submittals.

G. Vehicles used to transport Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) Waste must be demarcated during loading and unloading as specified in 40 CFR section 61.149 (d) (1).

Before transporting off base, complete the required EPA waste shipping record and have it signed by the contracting officer or their representative. No asbestos waste will be permitted to leave Hill Air Force Base without a completed and signed Waste Shipping Record (WSR). Upon arrival at the approved disposal site, the WSR is to be signed by the site personnel and a copy of the signed WSR is to be sent to the contractor within the time frame as required by 40 CFR 61.149(e). A copy of the returned WSR is to be provided to the Contracting officer or their representative. If the contractor does not receive the signed copy of the WSR within 35 days, the contractor must contact the site to determine the status of the waste shipment. If after 45 days a copy has still not been received, the contractor must notify the Utah Division of Air Quality in writing and provide the following information: (a.) A copy of the WSR for the load in question. (b.)

A cover letter signed by the contractor explaining his efforts to locate the waste shipment and the results of those efforts. Failure to comply with this or other requirements of the specification will constitute sufficient grounds for termination of this contract. For temporary storage, store sealed impermeable bags in asbestos waste drums. Procedure for hauling and disposal shall comply with 40 CFR 61, Subpart M, 49 CFR 172-177, 40 CFR 241 and 257, and state, regional, and local standards. Sealed plastic bags may be removed from drums and deposited into the burial site unless the bags have been broken or damaged. Damaged bags shall remain in the drum and the entire contaminated drum shall be buried. Uncontaminated drums may be recycled. Workers unloading the sealed drums shall wear appropriate respirators and personal protective equipment when handling asbestos materials at the disposal site.

LBP/Heavy Metals Collect LBP/Heavy metals waste, scrap, debris, bags, containers, equipment, and contaminated clothing in leak-tight impermeable container for disposal. Containers and disposal of LBP and Heavy metals shall be coordinated with the Hill AFB Hazardous Waste Facility at no cost to the contractor.

A-017. PROTECTION AND CLEANUP:

Protection: All abatement work shall be performed without damage to or contamination of adjacent areas, equipment, items, or materials. Should existing equipment, items, or materials become damaged or contaminated by work done under this contract, the contractor shall restore all areas to original condition at no additional cost to the government.
