PLAN SUMMARY

1. Purpose. The purpose of the Asbestos Management and Operating Plan (AMOP) is to minimize exposure of all building occupants to asbestos. The AMOP also references the database of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) within installation facilities. The AMOP provides the documentation for all asbestos management efforts and procedures for overseeing the asbestos management program.

2. Conditions For Implementation. Procedures in this plan will be used to comply with state and federal regulations, and Air Force Instructions (AFIs). Plan revisions will reflect changes in these various laws, rules, and regulations.

3. Operations To Be Conducted. This plan establishes procedures for management of asbestos at JBER. The AMOP includes the following operations:

a. Notification. A program to tell workers, tenants, and building occupants where ACM are located and how and why to avoid disturbing the ACM.

b. Surveillance. Action to note, assess, and document any changes in the ACM condition.

c. Controls. Work controls/permit system to control activities which might disturb ACM.

d. Work Practices. Work practices to avoid or minimize fiber release during activities affecting ACM.

e. Recordkeeping. To document operations and maintenance (O&M) activities.

f. Worker Protection. Medical and respiratory protection programs.

g. Training. Asbestos program manager, custodial, and maintenance staff training.

4. Key Assumptions. See Para 1.c. of Base Plan.

5. Limitations. Existing command structure of all military and nonmilitary agencies will remain in effect, except as specifically stipulated in the AMOP. All communications relative to matters outlined in the plan will be directed to the Environmental Coordinator.

6. OPSEC. Normal. Practice OPSEC by protecting critical and sensitive information.

7. Command Relationships.

a. Due to the complex command structure on JBER, it is conceivable that units assigned here may be reporting to several HHQs at the operational-level. The intent of this plan is to cover tactical, base-level operations in a way that would apply universally regardless of which HHQ(s) are being supported by JBER-assigned organizations.

iv

b. For execution of the AMOP, the 673 ABW/CC will be the supported commander.

Regardless of supported and supporting roles, the 673 ABW/CC requires a high degree of inter-wing coordination from units and personnel not under his or her direct operational, tactical or administrative control in order to achieve unity of effort across JBER.

c. All tasked JBER Commanders approve the usage of this plan by concurring/signing the

Staff Summary Sheet. Only JBER Commanders with the potential to fill the supported commander role under this plan approve it for implementation by signing the base plan.

8. Logistics Appraisal. Logistics are sufficient for the anticipated scope and duration of operations covered by this plan.

9. Personnel Appraisal. None v

1. Situation.

a. Background. The intent of the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) Asbestos

Management and Operations Plan (AMOP) is to establish management and organizational responsibilities and measures, in compliance with AFI 32-1001, which ensure that no personnel in base facilities are exposed to hazardous levels of airborne asbestos fibers. This AMOP will address organizational roles and responsibilities, data management, program development, operational management, work procedures, and training. This reference guide is to be used by

JBER organizations and Air Force contracted personnel to ensure all asbestos abatement actions are conducted with the intent of preventing asbestos exposure. This plan is divided into two major sections: management and operations.

b. Policy. The USAF, IAW AFI 32-1001, has directed JBER to develop an asbestos management and operations plan. JBER must comply with all federal, state, and local regulations concerning asbestos management. Adherence to this plan will assure compliance with these regulations and prevent asbestos exposure to occupants and workers on base.

c. Assumptions.

(1) As long as ACM is maintained in good condition, it does not require abatement.

(2) Conditions which damage, deteriorate, or render the ACM friable require abatement or encapsulation.

(3) Adequate manpower, equipment, enforcement, and other resources exist at the working level to ensure plan compliance.

2. Mission. JBER AMOP provides guidance for compliance with all applicable regulations and will be the means to properly manage asbestos at JBER. This AMOP will consolidate different organizational guidelines and procedures into one comprehensive base plan. The objectives of the plan are to:

a. Define management requirements, including specific organizational tasks for meeting regulatory requirements and protecting the health of base occupants and workers.

b. Establish a system of identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing asbestos related hazards.

c. Outline a monitoring and maintenance program, which provides a means of ensuring all asbestos containing material (ACM) in base facilities are in good shape and repairs are completed in an expedient manner.

d. Provide procedures for accurate and timely regulatory notifications.

e. Establish a complete and functional asbestos containing material (ACM) database for facilities and procedures to keep the database current.

f. Ensure facility maintenance personnel are trained in the management and removal of

ACM.

g. Establish a safe and effective monitoring and maintenance program.

3. Execution.

a. Concept of Operations.

(1) JBER will comply with all federal and state ACM regulations. JBER is responsible for the development and implementation of the AMOP as a tool for identifying and reducing possible exposure of airborne asbestos fibers to base personnel, families, and contractors.

(2) To have a successful Asbestos Management and Operations Plan, there must be an integrated program, which requires the participation of several organizations. The Commander, 673 CEG has the primary responsibility for developing and implementing an asbestos program.

For public schools on base, the Anchorage School District is the owner and responsible for managing school facilities. In addition, other base organizations must assist the 673 CES/CC in worker protection, sampling programs, quality control, and dissemination of accurate information needed to protect the health of all personnel living or working on Joint Base

Elmendorf-Richardson.

b. Tasks. Tasked unit/staff agencies will take appropriate actions as directed by the AMOP and their unit for prescribing response actions. However, this plan is directed primarily towards the 773d Civil Engineer Squadron, 673d Civil Engineer Squadron Environmental Element, 673d

Contracting Squadron, 673d Bioenvironmental Engineer Flight (BEE), and all JBER Facility

ANNEX B TO JBER AMOP

ASBESTOS MANAGEMENT – DATABASE, SURVEY, AND INSPECTION

1. Situation.

a. General. JBER has responsibility to effectively manage asbestos containing material to prevent exposure to all base users. Effective management is provided via planning, surveillance, survey, inspection and maintenance. This management plan provides details of the controls implemented at the base to prevent exposure and comply with regulatory requirements.

b. AMOP Change Control. The AMOP will be accurately maintained to reflect all measures the base is taking to control exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. Therefore, whenever any change in policy is required, the plan must be revised accordingly.

2. Mission. See Base Plan.

a. Asbestos Data Management. An asbestos database will be maintained by the APO and the

AOO will ensure updated survey, sampling, and abatement information is supplied to the APO or input into the database. The database will provide a record of asbestos in all facilities, and should be continually updated to accurately show the location, quantity, and condition of ACM on base. Following any abatement activity that may result in the removal of asbestos, an

Asbestos Abatement Report detailing what was removed will be submitted to the APO for an update to the database. See Appendix 1 of this Annex for further information.

(1) ACM previously identified. The following information regarding ACM abatement is needed: the building number, the room number, the amount, type of ACM abated, and laboratory analysis.

(2) Re-inspection of ACM in Mechanical Rooms. Any ACM surveillance will note, assess, and document any changes in the ACM’s condition.

(3) Newly identified ACM. In addition to properly documenting the removal of previously identified ACM, information pertaining to newly discovered ACM will be added to the database.

b. Survey and Inspection. Managing asbestos on base requires identifying building locations that have ACM, ascertaining its condition, determining whether it presents a health hazard, and defining appropriate treatment. This will be a continual process of survey and inspection. See

Appendix 2 to this Annex for further information.

c. Monitoring, Surveillance, and Quality Assurance.

(1) The competent person, as defined in 29 CFR § 1926. 1101, has primary responsibility for environmental compliance at all work sites. In contract abatement operations, the contractor

B-2 is required to supply the competent person. The APO is responsible for quality assurance compliance.

(2) Through coordination by the AOO, 673 OMRS/SGXB will conduct site worker air monitoring for compliance for government personnel or when circumstances warrant (i.e.

unintended release of ACM). For contract abatement operations, the 673 OMRS/SGXB will review and interpret contractor analytical results and make recommendations for re-occupancy.

4. Administration and Logistics.

a. Records Retention. Regulation requires that all asbestos records be retained indefinitely.

b. See appendices for other administrative procedures.

5. Command and Control. Not used.

Appendices:

1 – Asbestos Database

2 – Asbestos Inspection and Survey

3 – Asbestos Survey Form

APPENDIX 1 TO ANNEX B TO JBER AMOP

ASBESTOS DATABASE

1. General. The base will establish and maintain a computerized database of every facility on base, and establish a priority listing of all asbestos projects, including abatement, repair, etc., identified in the initial base survey. Results of any work area air monitoring, including clearance air sampling for abatement efforts will be included in the database.

2. Asbestos Database. An electronic database and facility folders will be maintained by the asbestos office (673 CES/CEIEC) and will include the following information at a minimum:

a. Facility number and usage code (e.g., building number).

b. Quantity (linear and square footage).

c. Asbestos type by location.

d. Condition of the ACM.

e. Date of last survey.

f. Date of the last repair, removal, or maintenance monitoring.

g. Current work orders (CE Service Request or DD Form 1391).

h. Start date of major renovation or demolition projects.

B-2-1

APPENDIX 2 TO ANNEX B TO JBER AMOP

ASBESTOS INSPECTION AND SURVEY

1. Inspection. Managing asbestos in place is consistent with current EPA guidance (see EPA manual, 20T-2003, Jul 90). Accordingly, the base has no plans to systematically remove asbestos from every facility. To effectively manage asbestos in place, 773 CES/CEO has implemented a recurring inspection and maintenance program. The information gathered from these routine inspections is used to update the asbestos survey and database. Upon discovery of exposed friable ACM, maintenance personnel will notify customer service at 552-3726/3727.

Maintenance activity personnel will perform all cleaning and repair actions as required.

2. Pre-Work Requirements. An asbestos investigation will precede all construction, demolition, or renovation actions in buildings suspected or shown to have ACM present during the initial base survey. This will include review of the JBER asbestos database and other records that could possibly contain facility information regarding the presence of asbestos in the facility.

a. Methods utilized to accomplish this include: the review of as-built drawings, interviewing employees knowledgeable of the facility, and researching construction references to determine possible ACM locations.

(1) Sampling. After conducting employee interviews and a thorough document search, sampling would occur if needed. Trained personnel will do the sampling and will perform this task wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and respiratory protection.

“NOTE: Any planned O/M project that includes asbestos should be the responsibility of the project initiator (through a contract mechanism) or 773 CES/CEO.”

(2) The 673 OMRS/SGXB will conduct a health risk assessment for government employees or if contractor actions have the potential to affect government employees. This is generally in the event of an unexpected “find” and especially if there is a fiber release episode where there is uncertainty if the material is asbestos.

b. Any project or work order requiring a CE Service Request or DD Form 1391 that is processed requires an asbestos survey prior to work beginning if insufficient data is available in the asbestos database through the AOO/APO. The maintenance activity will research individual facility folders until the asbestos database is delivered to determine whether or not ACM is present in the construction area.

3. Survey. Managing asbestos on base requires identifying building locations that have ACM, ascertaining its condition, determining whether it presents a health hazard, and defining appropriate treatment. The most effective method for identifying locations that have ACM and determining its condition is through a facility survey. Where complete building surveys are required, surveys will be performed using protocols established by EPA under the Asbestos

Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and other guidance documents. Surveys will include:

a. The date(s) of the inspection/survey.

B-2-2

b. The name and signature of each accredited person conducting the inspection, collecting samples, and making the assessment. The state of accreditation and if applicable, the accreditation number of each inspector is to be provided in the report.

c. The location of each homogeneous sampling area from which samples were collected, the location of each homogeneous sampling area where suspect ACM was assumed to be ACM, and the location of PACM. Homogeneous sampling area should likewise be clearly identified on drawings and diagrams for future reference. Real or artificially designated area boundaries should likewise be clearly identified.

d. A discussion of the manner used to determine sampling locations. Logic used in choosing sample locations should be presented and defended in writing. Sample locations should be selected for their ability to be representative of selected areas. To enable the samples to be statistically random, a protocol like that provided in the EPA guidance publication “Simplified

Sampling Scheme for Friable Surfacing Materials” EPA 560/5-85-030a, October 1985, should be consulted.

e. A list of identified homogenous sampling areas and their classification as to type of material. All areas are to be identified by material type as either surfacing material, thermal system insulation, or miscellaneous material.

f. Following receipt of the results of laboratory analysis, each sample and each homogeneous sampling should be designated as ACM or non-ACM on the building records.

g. The assessment of the ACM and suspected ACM should be categorized into one of the following categories:

(1) Damaged or significantly damaged thermal system insulation ACM.

(2) Damaged friable surfacing ACM.

(3) Significantly damaged friable surfacing ACM.

(4) Damaged or significantly damaged friable miscellaneous ACM.

(5) ACM with potential for damage.

(6) ACM with potential for significant damage.

(7) Any remaining friable ACM or friable suspected ACM.

h. Survey report should detail the amount of ACM present and estimated abatement cost.

i. Copies of all building surveys will be forwarded to 673 CES/CEIEC and BE. The CEIEC

Asbestos Program Officer (APO) will evaluate the surveys for environmental issues and BE will

B-2-3 evaluate the surveys for base personnel exposure issues. For projects involving limited confirmation sampling, the following information will be forwarded to the CEIEC APO for all samples collected for asbestos analysis:

(1) Building Number

(2) Room and Floor Number

(3) Location in Room

(4) Material Sampled

(5) Date Sampled

(6) Photographs (if needed)

(7) Sample Identification Number [must contain Installation/Facility/Work Order, Project

Number/Julian Date/Sample Number (example:FXSB6326-R6326-21-0001)]

(8) Description of Material Sampled (TSI, surfacing, miscellaneous, Category I, Category

II, Friable, Non-Friable, condition, functional space number, and homogenous number, and potential for disturbance).

(9) A map showing identification numbers and location for all samples collected during the project. The map should have a north arrow and scale. If a map is not available, a hand sketch will work.

(10) The name of the person collecting the sample(s), company name, license number, and phone number

(11) Sample Chain-of-Custody Documentation

(12) Analytical results. Analytical reports shall include the client sample identification number; laboratory sample identification number; analytical technique used; laboratory quality control procedures; physical description of sample(s); types and estimated percentage of asbestos; types and estimated percentage of non-asbestos fibers, types and percentage of other components, date of analysis, and analyst’s signature.

j. All samples will be shipped under chain-of-custody to a laboratory accredited by the

National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), for analysis using polarized light microscopy (PLM) for bulk samples and phase contrasting microscopy (PCM) for air samples. Laboratory analytical reports will include the signed chain-of-custody, the name and address of the laboratory, the date of the analysis, the name and signature of the person who performed the analyses, and the results of the analyses.

B-2-4

4. Emergency Inspection. These inspections are conducted as needed. This inspection is normally initiated by the occupant or building manager and completed by the maintenance activity.
