The couplings and nozzle attachments must fit on the outside of the hose and be designed to prevent accidental disengagement.

1.2.1.2 Workers Other Than Blasters

Protect workers, other than blasting operators working in close proximity to abrasive blasting operations. Use MSHA/NIOSH-approved half-face or full-face air purifying respirators equipped with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and eye protection meeting ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 .

Use hearing protectors (ear plugs and/or ear muffs) providing a noise reduction rating of at least 20 dBA or as needed to provide adequate protection. Provide personal protective equipment where required by 29 CFR 1910.146 and in accordance with 29 CFR 1910 , Subpart I.

1.2.1.3 Cleaning Before and After Abrasive Blasting

Cleaning with compressed air must be in accordance with Section 20.B.5 of EM 385-1-1 and personnel protected as specified in 29 CFR 1910.134 . When cleaning with solvents, provide ventilation where required by 29 CFR 1910.146 or where the concentration of solvent vapors exceeds 10 percent of the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). Ventilation must be in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.94 , paragraph (c)(5).

1.2.1.4 Paint Mixing

Provide local exhaust ventilation in the area where coatings are mixed.

This ventilation system must be capable of providing at least 100 linear fpm of capture velocity in the mixing zone. Avoid exposure of skin and

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 5 eyes by wearing appropriate chemically resistant gloves, safety goggles, and face shields meeting the requirements of ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 . Provide a personal eyewash unit within close proximity to the mixing operation in accordance with ANSI/ISEA Z358.1 , paragraph (9). All powered mixing equipment must be either pneumatic or double insulated (intrinsically safe), in order to guard against fire or explosion. Individuals who have a history of, or develop a sensitivity to epoxy or polyurethane resin systems, must not conduct work tasks or otherwise be exposed to such chemicals.

1.2.1.5 Confined Spaces

When using solvent-based paint in confined spaces, prepare a Confined Spaces Plan. Provide ventilation to exchange air in the space at a minimum rate of 5,000 cubic feet per minute per spray gun in operation.

It may be necessary to install both a mechanical supply and exhaust ventilation system to effect adequate air changes within the confined space. Locate and affix all air-moving devices to an opening of the confined space in a manner assuring that the airflow is not restricted or short circuited and is supplied in the proper direction. A suitable means of egress must be maintained at all times. Continue ventilation after completion of painting and through the drying phase of the operation. If the ventilation system fails or the concentration of volatiles exceeds 10 percent of the LEL (except in the zone immediately adjacent to the spray nozzle), stop painting and evacuate spaces until adequate ventilation is provided. Provide an audible alarm that signals system failure as an integral part of the ventilation system. Check the effectiveness of the ventilation by using ventilation smoke tubes and making frequent oxygen and combustible gas readings during painting operations. Exhaust ducts must discharge clear of the working areas and away from possible sources of ignition. Submit detailed written standard operating procedures for confined spaces in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.146 and EM 385-1-1 , Section 6H, Section 34. The procedures must include:

a. Certificates of calibration for all testing and monitoring equipment.

The certificates of calibration must include: type of equipment, model number, date of calibration, firm conducting calibration, and signature of individual certifying calibration.

b. Methods of inspection of personal protective equipment prior to use.

c. Engineering controls and other work practices designed to reduce airborne hazardous chemical exposures to a minimum.

d. Specification of the design and installation of ventilation systems which provide adequate oxygen content and provide for the dilution of paint solvent vapor, lead, and other toxic particulates within the confined space. Procedures must also include plans to evaluate the adequacy of air flow patterns.

1.2.1.6 Paint Spraying

Submit a comprehensive written Respiratory Protection Plan in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 , 29 CFR 1926.62 , and EM 385-1-1 , Section 05.G.

During all spray painting operations, spray painters must use approved SCBA or SAR (air line) respirators, unless valid air sampling has demonstrated contaminant levels to be consistently within concentrations compatible with the Assigned Protection Factor (APF) of an air-purifying respirator. Persons with facial hair that may interfere with the seal or

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 6 valve function of a half or full facepiece style respirator may wear a hood or helmet respirator provided the APF is sufficient for the exposure. Air-purifying chemical cartridge/canister respirators that have a particulate prefilter and are suitable for the specific type(s) of gas/vapor and particulate contaminant(s) may be used for nonconfined space painting, mixing, and solvent cleaning. These respirators may be used provided the measured or anticipated concentration of the contaminant(s) in the breathing zone of the exposed worker does not exceed the APF for the respirator and the gas/vapor has good warning properties or the respirator assembly is equipped with a NIOSH-approved end of service life indicator for the gas(es)/vapor anticipated or encountered. Where paint contains toxic elements that may become airborne during painting in nonconfined spaces, air-purifying half- and full-facepiece respirators or powered air-purifying respirators equipped with appropriate gas vapor cartridges, in combination with a high-efficiency filter, or an appropriate canister incorporating a high-efficiency filter, must be used.

1.2.1.7 Explosion Proof Equipment

Electrical wiring, lights, and other equipment located in the paint spraying areas must be of the explosion proof type designed for operation in Class I, Division 1, Group D, hazardous locations as required by the NFPA 70 . Electrical wiring, motors, and other equipment, outside of but within 20 feet of any spraying area, must not spark and must conform to the provisions for Class I, Division 2, Group D, hazardous locations.

Electric motors used to drive exhaust fans must not be placed inside spraying areas or ducts. Fan blades and portable air ducts must be constructed of nonferrous materials. Properly maintain and ground motors and associated control equipment. Electrically bond and ground the metallic parts of all air-moving devices, spray guns, connecting tubing, and duct work.

1.2.1.8 Further Precautions

a. Workers must wear nonsparking safety shoes.

b. Solvent drums taken into the spraying area must be grounded. Maintain metallic bonding between containers and drums when materials are being transferred.

c. Inspect insulation on all power and lighting cables to ensure that the insulation is in excellent working condition and is free of all cracks and worn spots. Ensure that no connections are within 50 feet of the operation, that lines are not overloaded, and that they are suspended with sufficient slack to prevent undue stress or chafing.

1.2.1.9 Ignition Sources

Ignition sources, including lighted cigarettes, cigars, pipes, matches, or cigarette lighters, and electronic smoking devices are prohibited in areas of solvent cleaning, paint storage, paint mixing, or paint application.

1.2.2 Health

Where stabilization is preferred, employ a proprietary blast additive, that has been blended with the blast media prior to use. Place hazardous waste in properly labeled, closed containers shielded adequately to prevent dispersion of the waste by wind or water. Any evidence of improper storage is cause for immediate shutdown of the project until corrective action is taken. Store

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 9 nonhazardous waste in closed containers separate from hazardous waste storage areas. Transport all hazardous waste by a licensed transporter in accordance with 40 CFR 263 and 49 CFR 171 , Subchapter C. Transport all nonhazardous waste in accordance with local regulations regarding waste transportation. In addition to the number of copies required by 40 CFR 262.22 , supply one copy of each Waste Manifest to the Contracting Officer prior to transportation.

1.2.3.2 Containment

Prepare a Containment Plan for containing debris generated during paint removal operations. Include drawings, load-bearing capacity calculations, and wind load calculations. When the design is such that the spent abrasive is allowed to accumulate in quantities greater than 1,000 pounds, and/or impart a significant wind load on the structure, have the drawings approved by a registered structural engineer. The drawings and calculations must be stamped with the engineer's seal. Also identify the type and placement of water booms, methods for anchoring the booms, and the procedures for removing debris. Contain debris generated during paint removal operations in accordance with the requirements of SSPC Guide 6 , Class 2A. Where required, verify the containment air by air pressure manometers or magnehelic gages.

1.2.3.3 Visible Emissions Monitoring

Prepare a Visible Emissions Monitoring Plan including the provisions for halting work and correcting the containment in the event unacceptable emissions are observed. General statements must not be used; specific methods, procedures, and details are required. Measure the time of emissions in accordance with 40 CFR 60 , App A, Mtd 22. Monitor visible emissions for not less than 15 minutes of every hour. Calculate visible emissions for each hour by extrapolation. Visible emissions must not extend greater than 150 feet in any direction horizontal from the containment. Visible emissions must not be observed in the area of any sensitive receptor. If such emissions occur shut down the job immediately and take corrective action. Notify the foreman whenever visible emissions exceed 40 seconds in a 1 hour period. Whenever visible emissions exceed 75 seconds in a 2 hour period notify the foreman, shut down the job, and take corrective action. If the total observed visible emissions from the containment exceeds 1 percent of the work day, shut down the job and take corrective action to prevent such an occurrence. Document each time that the work is halted due to a violation of the visible emissions criteria.

Documentation must include the cause for shutdown and the corrective action taken to resolve the problem.

1.2.3.4 TSP Monitoring

Prepare a TSP Monitoring Plan for monitoring emissions of Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) in compliance with the requirements of EPA regulation 40 CFR 50.12 and this paragraph. The plan must include provisions for halting work and correcting the containment in the event unacceptable emissions occur. Position the air monitoring equipment in accordance with 40 CFR 58 , App E, Subpart (8). A minimum of two TSP monitors must be used at the project site, one downwind from the project and one in the area of greatest public access (e.g. playground, school yard, or homeowner's yard). When the project is in an area where there are critical receptors nearby, TSP-lead monitoring must be conducted throughout the entire period that abrasive blasting and cleanup operations are performed. Otherwise, perform monitoring 4 of the first 8 days and on

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 10 a regular basis thereafter for a sum total of 25 percent of the time surface preparation and debris cleanup are performed. If air quality regulatory limits are not met, require air monitoring to be repeated immediately after corrective actions have been taken. Also conduct preproject TSP monitoring. Conduct the preproject TSP monitoring a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the project and continue the monitoring for a minimum of 3 days to establish background levels. Submit a TSP Test Report to the Contracting Officer within 48 hours including:

a. Name and location of jobsite.

b. Date of monitoring.

c. Time of monitoring (i.e., time monitoring begins and ends each day).

d. Identification and serial number of monitoring units.

e. Drawing showing specific location of monitoring units.

f. Drawing showing specific location of paint removal operation and the method of removal or work activity being performed.

h. A flow chart verifying the rate of air flow across the filter throughout the sampling period.

i. Name and address of laboratory.

j. Laboratory test procedure.

k. Laboratory test results.

l. Signatures of field and laboratory technicians conducting the work.

1.2.3.5 Water Quality

Prepare a Water Quality Plan for all job sites where lead-containing or other hazardous paint will be removed, including provisions for halting work if spills or emissions are observed entering into bodies of water or found in areas where storm water runoff could carry the debris into bodies of water or storm sewers. The plan must also address cleanup and reporting procedures. Conduct operations in such a manner that lead-containing and other hazardous paint debris do not contaminate the water and so that NPDES permits in accordance with EPA regulation 40 CFR 122 are not required for the project. Any release of lead paint debris into the waterways having a reportable quantity of hazardous substance pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act, must be reported to the EPA in accordance with 40 CFR 117 and 40 CFR 355 . The plan must require the thorough documentation of any release or spill that carries into waterways or storm sewers. Include the time and location of the release, amount of material released, actions taken to clean up the debris, amount of debris recovered, and corrective action taken to avoid a reoccurrence. Also report releases to the Coast Guard and other state and local authorities as appropriate. If the release is equivalent to 10 pounds or more of lead-containing material in a 24-hour period, it is considered to be a reportable quantity under CERCLA. Comply with

40 CFR 302 .

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 11

1.2.3.6 Soil Quality

Prepare a Soil Quality Plan for all job sites where lead-containing or other hazardous paint will be removed. The plan must include provisions for halting the work should soil contamination occur, correcting the deficiencies responsible for the contamination, and provide procedures for removing and replacing contaminated soil. Establish and implement practices and procedures for preventing contamination of the soil from the removal of lead-containing or other hazardous paints. Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, soil is considered to have been contaminated by the Contractor's operation if an increase in the total lead content of 100 PPM or greater over background levels occurs. For purposes of computing the increase compute the mean background levels and the mean post-removal levels. The 100 PPM criteria is met if the difference between the means is less than 100 PPM plus the 95 percent confidence limit. Conduct soil sampling and testing prior to the beginning of the project and after the project is completed. Interim testing may also be performed in the event the Contractor or Contracting Officer wants to confirm that the containment system and work practices continue to provide satisfactory protection of the soil. Unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer, the following minimum test locations must be selected for soil analysis. Select two locations beneath or immediately adjacent to the structure being prepared. Take additional samples within 100 feet in each direction of the project (i.e., N, S, E, W) in which soil is present. The number of soil sample locations must be sufficient to adequately characterize the soil contaminant levels within and around the project area. Collect five composite samples at each location. Each of the five samples must be comprised of five individual plugs of soil combined in a single bag. Use the following procedure to collect the composite samples:

a. Place a 1-square foot template at each location.

b. Remove a sample of soil 3/4 inch in diameter and 1/2 inch in depth at the center of the template and at each of the four corners. Place the five soil plugs into a single bag. This represents one of the three samples to be removed at a given location.

c. Move the template 1 inch in any direction and repeat the process to collect the second sample. Place all plugs in a separate bag. Move the template 1 inch farther to collect the third sample.

d. Identify each sample bag with the date, specific location of the sample, name and signature of the sampling technician, and complete chain of custody records.

e. It is critical that the specific location of each sample be thoroughly measured and documented as the final project testing (and any interim testing) must be sampled in the precise locations.

Analyze three samples collected at each location. One of the remaining two samples is to be maintained by the Contractor for the duration of the project and the other by the Contracting Officer in the event reanalysis is required. Analyze lead-containing samples in accordance with EPA testing guidance as published in 40 CFR 261 , App III, by a laboratory listed by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) as being proficient in conducting the test. Note that if it is determined that contamination of the soil has occurred as a result of the paint removal operations, TCLP testing must be employed to determine if the soil must be

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 12 handled and disposed of as a hazardous waste. The initial sampling of the soil for total lead content does not establish whether the soil will be considered hazardous by TCLP testing. As a result, at the Contractor's option, additional prework soil samples may be removed (minimum of 105 grams is required for a single test at each site) to conduct TCLP testing to establish whether the soil would be classified as hazardous prior to project startup. In the event that there is a release of lead paint debris onto the soil and if the release is 10 pounds or more of lead-containing material in a 24-hour period, it is considered to be a reportable quantity under CERCLA. Comply with 40 CFR 302 . Thoroughly document the occurrence of any spills of lead debris into the soil. The documentation must include the time and location of the release, amount of material released, actions taken to clean up the debris, amount of debris reclaimed, and corrective action taken to avoid a reoccurrence. Provide the documentation to the Contracting Officer including the Soil Quality Test Report with results of the prework and post work soil quality tests.

PART 2 PRODUCTS

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 CLEANING AND PREPARATION OF SURFACES TO BE PAINTED

3.1.1 General Requirements

Clean surfaces to be painted before applying paint or surface treatments.

Remove deposits of grease or oil in accordance with SSPC SP 1 , prior to mechanical cleaning. Perform solvent cleaning with mineral spirits or other low toxicity solvents having a flash point above 100 degrees F. Use clean cloths and clean fluids to avoid leaving a thin film of greasy residue on the surfaces being cleaned. Protect items not to be prepared or coated from damage by the surface preparation methods. Protect machinery and electrical components against entry of blast abrasive and dust into working parts. Program cleaning and painting such that dust or other contaminants from the cleaning process do not fall on wet, newly painted surfaces. Protect surfaces not intended to be painted from the effects of cleaning and painting operations. Conduct welding of, or in the vicinity of, previously painted surfaces in a manner to prevent weld spatter from striking the paint and to otherwise reduce coating damage to a minimum. Restore any paint damaged by welding operations to original condition. Surfaces to be painted that will be inaccessible after construction, erection, or installation operations are completed must be painted before they become inaccessible.

3.1.2 Ferrous Surfaces Subject to Atmospheric Exposures

As soon as practicable after blast cleaning, and in any case prior to the deposition of any detectable moisture, contaminants, or corrosion, clean all ferrous surfaces of dust and abrasive particles by brush, vacuum cleaner, and/or blown down with clean, dry, compressed air, and apply the first coat of paint.

3.2 PAINT APPLICATION

3.2.1 General

Unless otherwise specified, the finished coating must be free from holidays, pinholes, bubbles, runs, drops, ridges, waves, laps, excessive or unsightly brush marks, and variations in color, texture, and gloss. Do not initiate the application of initial or subsequent coatings until the Contracting Officer has verified that atmospheric conditions and the surfaces to be coated are satisfactory. Each paint coat must be applied in a manner that will produce an even, continuous film of uniform thickness. Provide special attention to edges, corners, crevices, seams, joints, welds, rivets, corrosion pits, and other surface irregularities to ensure that they receive an adequate thickness of paint. Application of the primer includes a preliminary stripe coat applied by brush, roller or spray to all edges, corners, welds, fasteners, and other surface irregularities. Allow the stripe coat to dry as recommended by the manufacturer, prior to the application of the first full coat. Spray equipment must be equipped with traps and separators and where appropriate, mechanical agitators, pressure gauges, pressure regulators, and screens or filters. Air caps, nozzles, and needles must be as recommended by the spray equipment manufacturer for the material being applied. Airless-type spray equipment may be used only on broad, flat, or otherwise simply configured surfaces, except that it may be employed for

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 17 general painting if the spray gun is equipped with dual or adjustable tips of proper types and orifice sizes.

3.2.2 Mixing and Thinning of Coatings s

Paints must be thoroughly mixed, strained where necessary, and kept at a uniform composition and consistency during application. Incorporate dry-powder pigments specified to be added at the time of use, into the vehicle or base paint with the aid of powered stirrers, in a manner that will produce a smooth, homogeneous mixture free of lumps and dry particles. Where necessary to suit conditions of the surface temperature, weather, and method of application, the paint may be thinned immediately prior to use. Thinning, induction time and pot life must comply with the manufacturers written instructions (PDS). Bring any paint that has been stored at a temperature below the manufacturer's application temperature range up to at least 70 degrees F before being mixed and thinned. Its temperature in the spray tank or other working container must not fall below the manufacturer's specified application temperature range during the application. Any paint that has deteriorated in any manner to a degree that it cannot be restored to essentially its original condition by customary field-mixing methods must not be used and must be removed from the project site. In order to determine its suitability for application, resample and submit for testing any paint and thinner that is more than 1 year from the date of manufacture or last documented testing. Only full kits shall be used for this project.

3.2.3 Time between Surface Preparation and Painting

Surfaces that have been cleaned and/or otherwise prepared for painting must be primed as soon as practicable after such preparation has been completed but, in any event, prior to any deterioration of the prepared surface.

3.2.4 Method of Paint Application

Unless otherwise specified, paint must be applied by brush, roller, or spray to ferrous and nonferrous metal surfaces. Special attention must be directed toward ensuring adequate coverage of edges, corners, crevices, pits, rivets, bolts, welds, and similar surface irregularities.
