A2.2.5.3.3.1 UCertification documentationU. At the Arrival Conference, submit documentation to the COR that all primary and sub contractors fulfilling abatement requirements related to the preceding disclosure paragraph possess all Local, State, and Federal certification licenses and applicable permits, for fulfilling those abatement requirements.

A2.2.5.3.3.2 UAdvance notificationU. Notify the COR 24 hours prior to any planned abatement actions.

Additionally, notify the Quarterdeck and COR, prior to starting any abatement task, to ensure a timely announcement to Coast Guard personnel to vacate the affected area.

4 (Rev-1)

NOTE

Be aware that Coast Guard personnel are not permitted to be in the location of abated spaces while abatement is being performed.

A2.2.5.3.3.3 UAdditional protective measuresU.

A2.2.5.3.3.3.1 Take the following additional safety precautions:

• Separate work area from other non-affected areas.

• Do not permit non-essential personnel in the work area.

• Work in one compartment/space at a time.

• Prevent dust from migrating to other areas, as follows:

• Seal doors, hatches, and all other openings between the work area and other areas with an airtight barrier, such as fire-rated polyethylene; seal both sides (inside the construction area, and inside the adjacent area) to provide a secondary dust barrier and prevent the doors and windows from being used (post alternative emergency exits, if applicable).

• Maintain work area under negative pressure in relation to adjacent areas.

• Take, at a minimum, the following measures, to protect de-contamination workers:

• Use a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) vacuum.

• Workers must wear a respirator which is approved by NIOSH and has N100, P100 or R100 filters

(the cartridges are usually purple); respirators must be fit-tested to insure proper seal, and employees must be medically screened and trained prior to wearing a respirator (see the OSHA Respirator Standard, 29 CFR 1910.134).

• Workers must wear full-body protective clothing, head covering and shoes (or shoe covers).

• Workers must not leave the work area without having gone through a proper decontamination process, to prevent spread of lead dust to un-affected areas.

• Eating, drinking and smoking are prohibited in work areas.

• Workers must wash hands and face before eating, drinking or smoking.

• Workers must remove work clothes and shoes before leaving the work area, and seal work clothes in plastic.

• Workers must shower and wash hair as soon as possible after leaving the work area.

• Non-disposable work clothes must be washed separately from other clothes.

NOTES

1. Negative pressure means that more air is exhausted from the area than is supplied so that lead dust and/or asbestos particles are contained within the work area, and do not contaminate adjacent non-affected compartments. Exhaust air must be filtered with a suitable HEPA filter.

2. A HEPA vacuum removes 99.97% of particles that are less than 0.3 microns in size.

3. Use of compressed air, conventional vacuum, and dry-sweeping is not permissible, during abatement.

A2.2.5.3.3.3.2 Remove and dispose of all protective covers, upon completion of work.

A2.2.5.3.3.4 UAbatement task particularsU.

5 (Rev-1)

A2.2.5.3.3.4.1 UCoating removal and surface preparationU.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.1.1 UACM U. Remove existing ACM by a suitable means such as chipping or scraping. Ensure all removed materials are carefully placed into bags that are specially designed for ACM removal, sealed and handed over to another worker to be sealed again.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.1.2 ULBPU. Remove LBP from identified areas, using one or a combination of the cleaning methods specified in Table A1 below, as applicable.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.2 UScope of spot abatementU. When spot or partial abatement is required due to interference with other ship repair work (including but not limited to: hotwork, equipment and component installations, structural inspections and repairs,), do the following:

• Perform inspections of all locations that have been slated for spot abatement, to identify paths of future hull cuts and weld seams and locations of weld repairs, as applicable.

• Ensure that abatement shall also include the following:

• The area itself, including but not limited to: attached framing, stiffeners, piping, equipment support – in addition to up to a three-inch boundary segment where removal is faired into surrounding intact coating.

• All areas of the heat affected zone (estimated to be at a minimum of 3-4 inches on each side of a weld repair), to permit welders sufficient room to safety make required repairs.

• Areas intended for tack welds used during fit up.

• Areas that asbestos material could be disturbed by personnel transiting the work site, setting up/moving equipment, setting up containment measures, or any activity by contractor personnel that could damage asbestos material adjacent to the site of any hotwork activity.

• Ensure that the presence of ACM and/or LBP adjacent to future weld repairs is readily apparent to welders through the use of signs on the compartment entry and local markings adjacent to repairs using a suitable means such grease pencils. Be aware that any accidental disturbance ACM and/or LBP by subsequent hot work or grinding associated with weld repairs shall require clean up in and clearance testing, at no cost to the Government.

TABLE A1 - SURFACE PREPARATION METHODS

MECHANICAL CLEANING CHEMICAL STRIPPING

STEEL SUBSTRATE ALUMINUM

SUBSTRATE

Use a suitable chemical stripper to safely remove all existing coatings

– and expose the bare substrate, in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

1. Waterjet to a SSPC-SP WJ- 2/NACE WJ-2 standard.

2. Abrasive-blast to SSPC- SP10/NACE No. 2, using grit conforming to MIL-A-22262 (1.5 to 2.5 mil anchor profile).

3. Power tool clean to a SSPC- SP 11 (1.0 mil anchor profile), with vacuum attachment, to capture lead dust and debris.

1. Waterjet to a SSPC-SP WJ-2/NACE WJ-2 standard.

2.Brush blasting with clean, fine aluminum oxide, garnet or equivalent inert material conforming CID A-A- 59316, Type I & IV, to remove all existing coatings and rust spots, down to bare metal (and produce a 1.0-1.5 mil anchor profile).

3. Mechanical cleaning, using power sanders and abrasive sandpaper with no metallic contents, to remove

6 (Rev-1) all existing coatings and rust spots, down to bare metal.

NOTES

1. Abrasive-blasting creates lead dust, which requires extensive post-surface preparation cleaning in affected compartments. Wet-abrasive blast cleaning (water introduced into the blast stream) may be used, to contain/eliminate dust.

2. Abrasive-blasting and waterjetting are not permissible inside machinery spaces or other outfitted spaces due to the difficulty of containing water spray and contamination of blasting dust particles. These methods are allowed to be performed in voids and tanks where full containment, negative ventilation, and isolation of the affected areas can be performed.

3. Known paint strippers meeting the requirements specified in Table 1 include, but are not limited to the following:

a. Franmar LeadOut

b. STRIP-TOX Paint Stripper

WARNING

Paint stripper formulated with the following hazardous materials are strictly prohibited for use onboard CG vessels:

a. Methylene chloride

b. Chlorinated solvents

c. Phenols

d. Chromates

e. Ammonia

f. Amines

CAUTION

Any action that has the potential to generate dust (blasting, hand tooling) shall be rigorously monitored to ensure contamination of the ship does not occur.

Certifications are required for any personnel who engage in these practices.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.3 UPrecautionary measures when using chemical strippingU. Take the following precautionary measures, when chemical stripping is selected as one of coating removal methods:

A2.2.5.3.3.4.3.1 UVentilationU. In addition to all temporary ventilation requirements specified in SFLC Std 0000 and the “General Requirements” item, ensure the following:

• A flow rate ventilation (minimum 100 cfm) is installed in the affected compartment - and ventilation system inspected by COR, prior to commencement of work.

• Exhaust ducts from ventilation fans are run outside and away from the ship’s ventilation intakes and

7 (Rev-1) downwind from cutter location. This shall be monitored and adjusted as necessary if there are changes in wind location.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.3.2 UChemical residue removal U. After completion of coating removal, wash down all affected surfaces with suitable soap and water, required to ensure all solvents or solvent residues are removed.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.4 UTreatment of existing coating edges bordering abated areas. UIn lieu of abiding by the feathering guidance provided in SFLC Std Spec 6310, paragraph 3.1.13 (Touch-ups and minor coating repairs), build up new coating to overlap all existing adjacent coating edges.

WARNING

Feathering of edges will generate lead/asbestos dust.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.5 UPost-surface preparation cleaning, inspection, and clearanceU. Upon completion of coating removal procedures, do the following, as applicable:

A2.2.5.3.3.4.5.1 ULead dust clean-up U. Clean all lead dust from the worksite by suitable clean-up cleaning methods, or as follows:

• Step 1 - debris removal: Remove all gross debris, paint chips, etc. using either a vacuum with a HEPA filter or by spraying the materials with water in a spray bottle and picking up chips or large pieces of contaminated debris by hand.

• Step 2 – vacuum cleaning: Using a suitable HEPA vacuum, clean all affected surfaces, in accordance with the following guidelines:

• Begin cleaning with high areas first – with overhead surfaces and bulkheads working downward.

• Vacuum all surfaces in the compartment.

• Work in the direction furthest from the entry door toward it.

• Step 3 – wet cleaning: Following thorough HEPA vacuuming, wash all surfaces with any suitable cleaning detergent following the same cleaning pattern (high to low/ furthest from and toward entrance). Change the cleaning solution as it becomes dirty. Rinse all areas with a fresh cloth/mop.

Do not reuse contaminated mops and cloths. Use a three-bucket system for cleaning. (Detergent solution in first bucket/ rinse water for mop in second/ surface rinse on deck and/or bilge surfaces in third).

• Step 4 – vacuum cleaning: Perform a HEPA vacuum again as specified in “Step 2”.

• Step 5 – waste disposal: Properly dispose of contaminated materials, in accordance with all applicable Federal, state, and local regulations.

WARNING

1. Work Wet, Work Smart, and Work Clean. DO NOT GENERATE DUSTS. It is easier to effectively clean an area when dusts are not being generated to resettle on previously cleaned areas. Worker exposures may be high during wet sweeping.

2 A wet/dry HEPA unit is ideal for working with hazardous dust clean up.

3. Lead-contaminated objects that are porous or materials that may suffer damage from water may not be able to be sufficiently decontaminated by these methods and should be discarded.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.5.2 USubstrate inspectionU. Conduct a visual inspection, in the presence of the Coast Guard Inspector, to ensure that none of the following is present, and submit a CFR:

8 (Rev-1)

• Visible coatings on any part of the substrate, including pitted areas.

• Lead dust.

• Cleaning material haze.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.5.3 UPost- abatement clearanceU. Upon acceptance of the visual inspection results by the COR, do the following:

A2.2.5.3.3.4.5.3.1 ULead dust wipe samplingU.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.5.3.1.1 Conduct wipe sampling clearance testing, in accordance with ASTM 6966, in three locations in each affected compartment/space, as designated by the Coast Guard Inspector; to ensure that there exist no lead dust residues in excess of the below-listed concentrations, as specified below in TABLE A2. Submit a CFR with sample results. If a Change Request (CR) has been authorized and released, conduct additional wipe sampling and testing, as designated on the CR.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.5.3.1.2 Ensure that dust lead samples are analyzed by a laboratory certified by the National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP) or the American Industrial Hygiene Association.

TABLE A2 - ACCEPTABLE LEAD CONCENTRATIONS

BERTHING AND/OR FOOD PREPARATION AREAS ALL OTHER AREAS

40 micrograms/square foot (mcg/ft 2) 200 micrograms/square foot (mcg/ft 2)

A2.2.5.3.3.4.5.4 UAdditional lead dust cleaning and samplingU. If laboratory analysis proves lead concentrations in excess of the thresholds specified in TABLE A2, then perform lead dust cleaning, and take subsequent wipe samples until the concentration of lead falls below the above standards.

NOTES

1. Be aware that the Coast Guard reserves the right to coordinate additional wipe clearance testing, at no cost to the contractor, to verify the sample results.

2. All additional wipe clearance testing conducted by the Coast Guard must be witnessed by the Contractor, to verify where and how samples were collected – and thus, prevent contract disputes.

A2.2.5.3.3.4.5.3.2 UAggressive sampling – asbestosU. After the completion of abatement, take at least five aggressive air samples in each affected compartment/space, using the Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) method to determine that the level of airborne fibers for each sample inside the work site is 0.01 or less fiber per cubic centimeter. Perform aggressive air sampling in accordance with EPA 600/4-85-049. Submit a CFR.

A2.2.5.3.3.5 USurface coatingU.

A2.2.5.3.3.1 UContaminant removal U. Prior to applying primer coat, and in accordance with SFLC Std Spec 6310, paragraphs 3.1.8.7 (Flash rusting/surface oxidation limitations) and 3.1.8.6 (Hydrocarbon substance removal), respectively,

• Remove all flash rusting, as applicable.

• Remove all grease and oil surface contaminants.

A2.2.5.3.3.2 UCoating applicationU. Coat all prepared surfaces, in accordance with Table A3.
