1.5 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

A. Removal of lead-contaminated paint materials from wood surfaces. The OSHA designated exposure assessment process will be used wherever initial paint removal work commences to determine if a hazardous airborne lead hazard exists. This process will determine whether there is a likelihood of exposure to airborne lead, regardless of the lead content. The exposure assessment is based on: the presence of lead in painted surfaces to be disturbed; the handling procedures to be employed (grinding, sanding, cutting, etc); and the experience and degree of training of the workers. The exposure assessment is designed to identify operations which exceed the OSHA designated action limit of 30 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/M). Any operation exceeding the action limit shall require personal air monitoring and respiratory protection.

A. General: Perform removal of lead-based paint in accordance with approved lead-based paint removal plan. Use procedures and equipment required to limit occupational and environmental exposure to lead when lead-based paint is removed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62, except as specified herein. Lead-contaminated material(s), including paint chips and associated waste removed under this contract, shall be placed in approved containers as specified and delivered to the designated collection/storage area for disposal by the government.

B. Personnel Exiting Procedures: Whenever personnel exit the lead-controlled area, they shall perform the following procedures and shall not leave the work place wearing any clothing or equipment worn during the work day:

1. Vacuum themselves off.

2. Remove protective clothing in the contaminated change room, and place them in an approved impermeable disposal bag.

3. Change to clean clothes prior to leaving the physical boundary designated around the lead control area.

C. Air and Wipe Sampling: Air sample for lead in accordance with CFR 1926.62 and as specified herein. Air and wipe sampling shall be directed or performed by the

CP.

1. The CP shall be on the job site directing the air and wipe sampling and inspecting the lead-based paint removal work to ensure that the requirements of the contract have been satisfied during the entire lead-based paint removal operation.

2. Collect personal air samples on employees who are anticipated to have the greatest risk of exposure as determined by the CP. In addition, collect air samples on at least 25% of the work crew or a minimum of two employees, whichever is greater, during each work shift.

3. Submit results of air samples, signed by the CP, within 72 hours after the air samples are taken. Notify the Contracting Officer immediately of exposure to lead at or in excess of the action level of 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air outside of the lead control area.

4. Before any work begins, collect and analyze baseline wipe samples in accordance with methods defined in federal, state and local standards inside and outside of the physical boundary to assess the degree of dust contamination in the facility prior to lead-based paint removal.

D. Air Sampling during Paint Removal Work: Conduct area air sampling daily, on each shift in which lead-based paint removal operations are performed, in areas immediately adjacent to the lead control area. Sufficient area monitoring shall be conducted to ensure unprotected personnel are not exposed at or above 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air. If 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air is reached or exceeded, stop work, correct the condition(s) causing the increased levels. Notify the Contracting Officer immediately. Determine if condition(s) require any further change in work methods. Removal work shall resume only after approval is given by the CP and the Contracting Officer. For outdoor operations, at least one sample on each shift shall be taken on the downwind side of the lead control area.

3.3 LEAD-BASED PAINT REMOVAL

A. General: Manual or power sanding of exterior surfaces is not permitted. Provide methodology for removing lead-based paint in the work plan. Remove paint within the areas designated on the drawings in order to completely expose the substrate.

Take whatever precautions necessary to minimize damage to the underlying substrate. Select paint removal processes to minimize contamination of work areas with lead-contaminated dust or other lead-contaminated debris/waste. Describe this paint removal process in the lead-based paint removal plan. Perform manual wet sanding and scraping to the maximum extent feasible.

B. Outdoor Lead Paint Removal: Provide containment system to collect paint chips from lead-based paint removal operations for various exterior building components indicated and to prevent air-borne contamination of surrounding buildings, plantings and personnel. Chemically remove lead-based paint from components before prepping materials for application of new paint finish is performed. Procedures for outdoor lead-paint removal and containment methods to be used shall be provided in the lead-paint removal plan.

C. Air and Wipe Sampling after Paint Removal: After the visual inspection, collect air samples inside and outside the lead control area to determine the airborne levels of lead inside and outside the work area. Collect wipe samples according to the HUD protocol to determine the lead content of settled dust and dirt in micrograms per square foot of surface area.

3.4 CLEAN-UP AND DISPOSAL

A. Clean-Up: Maintain surfaces of the lead control area free of accumulations of paint chips and dust. Restrict spread of dust and debris; keep waste from being distributed over the work area. Do not dry sweep or use compressed air to clean up the area. At the end of each shift and when the paint removal operation has been completed, clean the area of visible lead paint contamination by vacuuming with a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner, wet-mopping the area and wet-wiping the area as indicated by the CP. Re-clean areas showing dust or residual paint chips or debris.

After visible dust, chips and debris is removed, wet-wipe and HEPA-vacuum all surfaces in the work area. If adjacent areas and/or property become contaminated at any time during the work, clean, visually inspect, and then wipe-sample all contaminated areas. The CP shall then certify in writing that the area has been cleaned of lead contamination before restarting work.

B. Certification: The CP shall certify in writing that the final air samples collected inside and outside the control area are less than 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air and that the surface wipe sample results collected inside and outside the work area are less than 100 micrograms per square foot on uncarpeted floors, less than 500 micrograms per square foot on interior window sills and less than 800 micrograms per square foot on window troughs; the respiratory protection used for the employees was adequate; the work procedures were performed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62 and 40 CFR 745; and that there were no visible accumulations of lead-based paint and dust left in the work site. Do not remove the lead control area or roped-off boundary and warning signs prior to the Contracting Officer’s acknowledgment of receipt of the CP certification.

C. Disposal: Collect lead-contaminated waste, scrap, debris, bags, containers, equipment, and lead-contaminated clothing which may produce airborne concentrations of lead particles. Label the containers in accordance with 29 CFR

1926.62 and 40 CFR 261. Contractor shall furnish all appropriate, approved containers for proper collection, transport and disposal of lead-contaminated waste materials. Deliver all lead-contaminated waste material to a designated collection/storage site at the Academy for disposal by the government.

1. Storage: Store waste materials in U.S. Department of Transportation (49 CFR

178) approved 55-gallon drums. Properly label each drum to identify the type of waste (49 CFR 172) and the date the drum was filled. The Contracting Officer or an authorized Government representative will assign an area for interim storage of waste-containing drums.

2. Handling, Storage, Transport & Disposal: Handle, store, and transport lead or lead-contaminated waste in accordance with 40 CFR 260, 40 CFR 261, 40 CFR 262, 40 CFR 263, 40 CFR 264, and 40 CFR 265.
