HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND UNIVERSAL WASTE DISPOSAL

SECTION 02 87 00 - HAZARDOUS MATERIALS AND UNIVERSAL WASTE DISPOSAL

PART 1 – GENERAL

1. 1 SUMMARY

This Section covers the characterization and disposal of potential or known contaminated materials associated with fluorescent light ballasts, universal wastes (fluorescent light bulbs, batteries, mercury containing equipment (e.g., thermostats), and fire/smoke detectors), refrigeration systems and any other hazardous materials identified pursuant to applicable regulations.

The Contractor performing the work referenced in this Section for the preparation to demolish specified components from the structures shall be familiar with all Sections of the Technical Specifications and

Contract Drawings that comprise the Contract Documents. Failure for a bidder to review all Contract

Documents and identify discrepancies or requests for clarifications in these Contract Documents during the appropriate period before bid submission shall not indemnify the Contractor from the necessary remediation to facilitate demolition of the specified structures.

Coordinate the removal and temporary storage or placement in waste containers for transport and disposal/recycling of universal waste items/hazardous materials that have to be cleaned and removed from work areas during pre-cleaning in preparation for asbestos abatement.

Agency (USEPA) and other local, state and federal regulations related to potential PCB waste, waste handling and transportation regulations.

Contractor shall ensure that all employees handling materials, including sub-Contractors, are qualified and experienced in the work of sampling, preparing, removing, handling, and disposing of the materials to be performed under this Contract. All employees shall be properly trained, certified in the pertinent environmental regulations and in personal protection, and other safety procedures.

All disposal facilities and transporters shall be licensed and/or permitted in accordance with federal, state and local regulations. The Contractor shall provide a list of disposal facilities and transporters intends to use under this Contract.

1. 6 DELIVERABLES

A. Within 30 days of completion of waste disposal, provide documentation including as a minimum, the following:

1. Summary of sampling efforts and results of laboratory analysis for material disposal and end point sampling result, if any.

2. A copy of the Bill of Lading/Manifest and disposal receipts for all materials transported from the site.

3. Statement of Refrigerant Recovery: Signed by a qualified refrigerant recovery technician responsible for recovering refrigerant, stating that all refrigerant that was present was recovered and that recovery was performed according to current USEPA/NJDEP regulations, whichever is more stringent. Include name and address of technician and date refrigerant was recovered.

4, Provide any other documentation requested and required by the Engineer to conform or comply with all applicable laws, codes, ordinances, and regulations.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS (NOT USED)

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 PREPARATION

The Contractor shall by inspection, sampling or by other adequate methods, satisfy himself regarding the character and amount of hazardous materials present at the site.

The Contractor shall retain disposal/recycling facilities and confirm all analytical parameters that may be required by disposal, treatment or recycling facilities before their acceptance of materials.

Cost for collection of samples and analytical fees, if any, shall be included in the base price for this project.

3.2 FLUORESCENT LIGHT BALLASTS

Fluorescent light ballasts are present in several of the buildings scheduled for demolition. All ballasts shall be disposed of as PCB containing.

3.3 UNIVERSAL WASTES

Management and disposal of Universal Wastes are regulated under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Universal Waste Rule (UWR, 40 CFR 273) and Subtitle C hazardous waste regulations as well as state regulations.

A. Light Bulbs

The Contractor shall collect from each building fluorescent bulbs and compact fluorescent light bulbs for recycling. The bulbs should be stored in packaging that minimizes breakage. Bulbs may be stored in drums or boxes. The packaging must remain closed unless bulbs are being added or removed. Any broken bulbs must be stored separately in a sealed container. Used bulbs must be clearly labeled as; “Universal Waste

Lamps” or “Waste Lamps” or “Used Lamps.”

Containers must only be sent to other handlers of universal waste or a final destination facility where recycling occurs. Those transporting waste bulbs must comply with

Department of Transportation regulations in 49 CFR 171-180. Transporters are responsible for containing any releases to the environment.

B. Batteries

The Contractor shall collect all batteries from each building and from the various locations (e.g., emergency lights, smoke detectors, etc.). Batteries shall be sorted by type and stored in separate, leak tight containers. Batteries shall be transported to a facility that will recycle/dispose of the batteries in accordance with federal regulations. The

Prime Contractor shall provide all Bill of Ladens/Manifests and receipts from the recycling/disposal facility.

BUILDINGS 49 & 65 02 87 00 - 4

C. Mercury Containing Equipment

All mercury containing thermostats shall be collected from the buildings by the

Contractor. The mercury containing equipment shall be stored in a leak tight container.

Mercury containing equipment shall be transported to a facility that will recycle/dispose of the material in accordance with federal regulations. The Prime Contractor shall provide all Bill of Ladens/Manifests and receipts from the recycling/disposal facility.

D. Fire and/or Smoke Detectors

The Prime Contractor shall collect all fire and smoke detectors from each building.

Batteries shall be removed and disposed per B. above. Some smoke detectors that use ionization technology contain 0.9 micocurie of Americium 241, a radioactive material.

Units that have a radioactive source shall be stored in leak tight containers. All other types may be disposed as normal waste. Units with radioactive sources shall be transported to a facility that will recycle/dispose of the material in accordance with federal regulations. The Prime Contractor shall provide all Bill of Ladens/Manifests and receipts from the recycling/disposal facility.

E. Other

In accordance with the State of New Jersey, Department of Environmental Protection, (DEP) the disposal of consumer electronics, such as computers, telefacsimiles, televisions, any device that contains electrical circuitry, white goods and other household appliances are included under the Universal Waste Rule (UWR). Such items may contain batteries, mercury, PCBs, cadmium, etc. All electronics scheduled for disposal should be collected, packaged in leak tight containers, labeled as “Universal Waste – Consumer

Electronics,” and transported to a Class D recycling center.

A solid or hazardous waste transporter registration is only required when the universal waste is being shipped to a RCRA Treatment, Storage, or Disposal Facility (TSDF) for treatment or disposal, instead of recycling. However, for these instances where universal waste is to be disposed in a landfill, the Contractor must provide an explanation as to why the requirements to minimize landfill waste from the project cannot be fulfilled and will pend approval by the Owner.

3.4 REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS

A. Refrigerant: Remove refrigerant from mechanical equipment and air conditioning units prior to demolition according to 40 CFR 82 and regulations of authorities having jurisdiction.

B Statement of Refrigerant Recovery: Signed by refrigerant recovery technician responsible for recovering refrigerant, stating that all refrigerant that was present was recovered and that recovery was performed according to EPA regulations. Include name and address of technician and date refrigerant was recovered.

3.5 Other Wastes/Chemical

A. The Contractor should be aware that there may remain in the structures various household products (e.g., cleaners and aerosols, paints, etc.) which must be removed and appropriately disposed. The cost associated with the removal and disposal shall be included in the base bid.
