REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF LEAD-BASED PAINT

SECTION 028319 – REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF LEAD-BASED PAINT

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF WORK

A. General: This section identifies the precautions and procedures required for lead contaminant control and lead waste disposal during the life of the contract. All painted surfaces found in facilities constructed prior to 1978 shall be considered lead-containing unless proven otherwise by testing. This specification applies to the identification, disturbance, containment, removal and disposal of lead containing paint, adhesives, residue and dust, sludge, chips, scrap, and where applicable, soil.

1. Work Area: The work areas include the following:

Buildings 987, 989 and 993 and Building 404 at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site, Vancouver, Washington

2. The following lead-containing materials within the building are classified as “lead-based paint” as determined through testing:

Interior and exterior painted surfaces of the existing structure at Buildings 987 and 404 as depicted in the White Shield Report.

Exterior painted surfaces of the existing structure at Buildings 989 and 993.

Soil within 15 feet of the existing structure of Buildings 987, 989 and 993. NOTE: If the contractor must dig a hole or trench, the contractor shall only remove and dispose of, accordingly, the top six (6) inches of soil within fifteen (15) feet of the existing structure.

The soil shall be placed in a contractor supplied barrel for collection by the contracting officer as described elsewhere in the specifications.

In situations where surfaces with lead-based paint (LBP) will be disturbed incidentally or not expressly abated (i.e., drilling, cutting, and scraping), utilize drop cloths, wet methods, HEPA vacuums and/or tools equipped with HEPA filtered vacuum collection systems to control the dust at the point of generation.

B. Related Work Specified in Other Sections: Section, "Safety and Health," applies to all work covered by this section.

A. All vacuums used during paint and adhesive removal, disturbance, and clean up shall be equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters conforming to ANSI Z9.2-1979.

2.3 RESPIRATORS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING

A. At a minimum, workers should wear disposable coveralls including shoe covering and respiratory protection appropriate for the hazard. Use special precautions if chemical strippers will be used

(appropriate clothing, gloves, and face shields per MSDS recommendations). The contractor shall containerize disposable coveralls as abatement waste on a daily basis. All workers shall be trained on the hazards of lead and proper personal hygiene, such as no eating/drinking/smoking in the work area, and washing when leaving the work area.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 REGULATED WORK AREAS

A. All work areas are to be pre-cleaned of dust, debris, and paint chip accumulation prior to establishing barriers.

B. Interior work resulting in minor impact to lead painted surfaces, using controlled work practices, and other activities that control the generation of lead dust shall be performed over a six-mil polyethylene drop cloth to protect adjacent/horizontal surfaces from the accumulation of lead dust and debris.

C. Aggressive demolition and disturbance activities of interior surfaces shall be conducted within a full-enclosure. Where uncontrolled dust will be generated, a negative pressure enclosure (NPE) exhausted via HEPA filtration will be implemented.

D. Exterior demolition and disturbance shall be completed over six-mil polyethylene drop cloths that shall be containerized on a daily basis. For elevated work areas, additional precautions may be required to prevent the dispersion of lead dust and debris.

E. For exterior demolition and paint disturbance at windows, an airtight polyethylene barrier shall be placed over the interior side of window openings and wall penetrations, mechanical systems intakes and outlets, etc.

F. Wet methods using a Trisodium Phosphate (TSP) solution, a high-detergent cleanser or a product of proven equivalent effectiveness for cleaning and/or controlling lead dust shall be implemented for all lead paint disturbances unless proven infeasible. Alternative control methods and products must be submitted for approval prior to implementation.

3.2 PREPARATION

A. Before beginning lead paint removal in any area, pre-clean and cover all surfaces, furnishings and stored items which may accumulate dust and paint chips with six-mil polyethylene sheeting taped securely in place. Barriers shall be adequate to ensure that dust, debris, and fumes are contained within the work area and do not contaminate building systems or adjacent surfaces.

FOVA – 174962 & 175150 028319 - 5

B. OSHA warning signs shall be placed at the entrance to LBP work control areas.

C. For exterior or open area work, provide construction tape barriers at an adequate distance around the work area for pedestrians to follow to alternate pathways.

D. Hallways, exits and stairwells and similar routes of egress shall not be blocked without the permission of the Contracting Officer.

E. Waste is not to be stored in the building and must be secured within the contractor’s laydown area until it can be removed from the site by the Park.

3.3 WORK PROCEDURES

A. The method of lead-based paint abatement removal chosen by the contractor must minimize the generation of lead dust. The following methods of paint removal will not be permitted: open-flame burning, dry scraping, and machine sanding/grinding/cutting without HEPA attachments.

B. Coordinate work of all trades to ensure that their work is performed in accordance with applicable regulations and to ensure the integrity or isolation of the regulated area.

C. The Contractor is responsible for personal air monitoring under OSHA regulations and to document and control worker exposure. OSHA regulations include provisions for exposure monitoring, engineering and work practice controls, training, medical monitoring, record keeping, and job removal. The Contractors’ “Competent Person” shall evaluate the data to determine the effectiveness of engineering controls, the adequacy of personal protective equipment, and to determine if proper work practices are being employed. The CO shall be notified if any air monitoring results equal or exceed 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air (µg /m

D. In obtaining a negative exposure assessment (NEA), an employer may not project other employers’ results to their personnel. Additional exposure monitoring is required when there is a change in equipment, processes, controls, or when personnel of varying training and/or experience are engaged in the process.

E. ARC representatives may perform environmental testing prior to beginning work to demonstrate that there is no appreciable elevation of airborne or settled lead outside of the work area. Sampling may also be performed during the initial phase of removal to assure lead levels remain under the

OSHA action level of 30 µg/m

F. Upon exiting the removal area, personnel shall decontaminate by vacuuming gross debris from disposable clothing and thoroughly washing all exposed body surfaces. The contractor is responsible for supplying adequate washing facilities for their employees. Workers shall not leave the designated work area while wearing protective clothing.

3.4 CLEANUP AND DISPOSAL

A. Housekeeping: Surfaces in the LBP control area shall be maintained free of accumulations of paint chips and dust. The accumulation and spread of dust and debris shall be restricted. Dry sweeping or compressed air shall not be used for cleanup.

FOVA – 174962 & 175150 028319 - 6

B. The General Contractor is responsible for ensuring that normal shop vacuums, or other vacuums without HEPA filtration, are not utilized in areas where an accumulation of lead dust or paint chips can reasonably be anticipated.

C. At the end of each work period, HEPA vacuum and collect all debris to maintain surfaces free of paint chips and dust accumulation. Seal debris in airtight containers and remove from work site.

Materials being temporarily stored at the site must be transported and maintained in closed, airtight containers (drums) meeting the DOT requirements.

D. Final cleaning/approval: HEPA vacuum and damp clean areas and surfaces with an anionic solution such as TSP, vinegar, or high detergent solutions. The area shall be visually clean of all debris and dust. If the CO or a designated representative (i.e., an Industrial Hygiene firm) finds the area unacceptable, the contractor shall re-clean until acceptance is gained.

E. For facilities and/or projects not included under paragraph 3.4.E, the CO and/or a designated representative will determine if lead dust wipe samples will be collected to establish acceptance after final cleaning. When final wipe testing is utilized, the clearance criteria shall be as follows:

1.1 Surface 1.2 Clearance Criteria

Floors 40 micrograms lead per square foot

Window Sills 250 micrograms lead per square foot

Window Troughs, Exterior and “Other” Surfaces 400 micrograms lead per square foot

Soil (general) 410 ppm

F. Handling and disposal of all waste and debris is to be in compliance with OSHA, EPA, DOT, applicable state, and all other applicable regulations. The contractor is responsible for providing a waste profile and quantity report, and for providing TCLP (toxic characteristic leaching procedure) sampling to determine if the waste is hazardous.

G. A copy of each manifest is to be provided to the CO and all waste containers shall be given to the park for disposal. Certificates of Destruction or Disposal (CD) shall be provided to the same parties within 90 days of delivery of waste to the park.
