During all spray painting operations, spray painters shall use approved SCBA or SAR (air line) respirators, unless valid air sampling has demonstrated contaminant levels to be consistently within concentrations that are compatible with air-purifying respirator Assigned Protection Factor (APF). Persons with facial hair that interferes with the sealing surface of the facepiece to face seal or interferes with respirator valve function shall not be allowed to perform work requiring respiratory protection. Air-purifying chemical cartridge/canister half- or full-facepiece 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 cleaning (using solvents). 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

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 11 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, shall be used.

1.3.1.8 Explosion Proof Equipment

These submittals may be required for other jobs which do not involve the removal of lead-containing paint. The Environmental Compliance Plan integrates these plans as well as other lead-specific elements.

In addition to the requirements of Section 01 57 20.00 10 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, prepare an Environmental Protection Plan incorporating the submittals for Water Quality Plan, Containment Plan, Waste Disposal Plan, Soil Quality Plan, TSP Monitoring Plan, PM-10 Monitoring Plan, and Visible Emissions Monitoring Plan. The submitted plan shall also address all aspects of establishing and demarcating regulated areas, SECTION 09 97 02 Page 14 ventilation/containment system performance verification, and reporting of accidental releases. Comply with the following environmental protection criteria.

1.3.3.1 Waste Classification, Handling, and Disposal

Prepare and submit a Waste Disposal Plan in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 261 and 40 CFR 262 including classification and handling. The Contractor is responsible for assuring the proper disposal of all hazardous and nonhazardous waste generated during the project.

Waste generated from abrasive blasting, lead-containing paints with recyclable steel or iron abrasives shall be disposed of as a hazardous waste or shall be stabilized with proprietary pre-blast additives regardless of the results of 40 CFR 261 App II, Mtd 1311. 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 shall be cause for immediate shutdown of the project until corrective action is taken. Store nonhazardous waste in closed containers separate from hazardous waste storage areas. All hazardous waste shall be transported by a licensed transporter in accordance with 40 CFR 263 and 49 CFR 171, Subchapter C. All nonhazardous waste shall be transported in accordance with local regulations regarding waste transportation. In addition to the number of copies required by 40 CFR 262.22, one copy of each Waste Manifest shall be supplied to the Contracting Officer prior to transportation.

1.3.3.2 Containment

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the specifier to determine whether containment is required and if so, to specify it.

Specify the containment requirements using SSPC Guide 6. Where lead or other hazardous materials are present and abrasive blasting will be performed, specify either Class 1A or Class 2A containment.

Where Class 1A containment is specified, instrument verification of negative pressure should be required. Class 1A provides the greatest level environmental protection and should be specified in areas where high levels of lead are present and the work is in the vicinity of critical receptors (parks, schools, residences, or sensitive water sources). Class 2A containment is the most commonly specified level of containment for civil works structures in non-critical areas. Class 3A containment may provide an adequate degree of environmental protection for some lead-containing paint removal jobs, however, an adequate degree of worker protection may not be achievable under some circumstances.

Where lead or other hazardous materials are not present but abrasive blasting will be performed, specify Class 2A or 3A containment. Where the Contractor proposes to use a low-dusting recyclable

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 15 abrasive such as steel grit, then the Contracting Officer should allow one class lower of containment. Classes 3A and 4A containment provide minimal control over emissions. Minimal control of emissions would be used in situations where critical receptors are not near the work site. Containment of dust producing abrasive blasting operations is recommended because of NAAQS for PM-10.

Where lead or other hazardous materials are present and power tool cleaning will be performed, specify Class 1P containment. Where the Contractor proposes to use vacuum-shrouded power tools then the Contracting Officer should allow their use with ground covers and/or free hanging tarpaulins.

Classes 2P or 3P can be specified where the paint contains low-levels of lead, less than 1 percent.

As an option the Contractor should be allowed to use vacuum shrouded power tools without additional protection. Containment is not generally specified for power tool removal of nonhazardous paint materials.

A Containment Plan should also be required for nonlead jobs where containment is specified.

Prepare a Containment Plan for containing debris generated during paint removal operations, including 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 453 kg 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 shall 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 [_____]. Where required, verify the containment air pressure [by instrument] [visually].

1.3.3.3 Visible Emissions Monitoring

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the specifier to determine whether monitoring of visible emissions will be required and if so, to specify the requirements. The 40 seconds in 1-hour, 75 seconds in 2-hours, and 1 percent daily visible emissions criteria should be invoked for all lead and other hazardous paint removal jobs. The 200 seconds in 1-hour, 300 seconds in 2-hours, and 5 percent daily visible emissions criteria should be called for on jobs where abrasive blasting will be used to remove nonhazardous paints. Visible emissions monitoring should not be specified for power tool removal of nonhazardous paints. See NOTE for paragraph Containment above.

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 16

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 shall 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. In no case shall visible emissions extend greater than 45 m 150 feet in any direction horizontal from the containment. In no case shall visible emissions be observed in the area of any sensitive receptor. If such emissions occur the job shall be shut down immediately and corrective action taken. Notify the foreman whenever visible emissions exceed [40] [200] seconds in a 1 hour period.

The foreman shall be notified and the job shall be shut down and corrective action taken whenever visible emissions exceed [75] [300] seconds in a 2 hour period. Total observed visible emissions from the containment shall not exceed [1] [5] percent of the work day. Shutdown and corrective action shall be taken to prevent such an occurrence. Document each time that the work is halted due to a violation of the visible emissions criteria.

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

1.3.3.4 PM-10 Monitoring

NOTE: It is the specifier's responsibility to contact the local authorities and state Bureaus of Air Pollution Control to determine if PM-10 (particulate matter less than 10 microns in size) monitoring is required. If so, include paragraph PM-10 MONITORING PLAN. The National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for lead does not apply to lead paint removal. However, if the (NAAQS) requirement for lead [total suspended particulate (TSP) lead] is invoked by a State or Local governing body on lead paint removal projects, include paragraph TSP MONITORING. In either case, air monitoring should be modified to address the specific state or local regulations. TSP lead monitoring is recommended for all lead paint removal jobs even where not required. TSP lead monitoring data is useful in determining the efficacy of containment. PM-10 monitoring is not recommended for lead or other paint removal jobs where it is not required. It is a generally accepted fact that if there is no TSP-Pb exceedance predicted by TSP monitoring then there will also not be a PM-10 exceedance. For this reason SSPC recommends that just TSP monitoring be performed on lead jobs. A soon to be adopted order of magnitude reduction in the NAAQS for lead will result in an increased number of noncompliant air monitoring regions. This will likely spur the imposition of TSP-Pb air monitoring by a growing number of localities nationwide as these entities struggle to meet the new standard.

Prepare and submit a PM-10 Monitoring Plan for monitoring emissions of particulate matter 10 microns or less in size (PM-10). The plan shall

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 17 comply with the requirements of EPA regulation 40 CFR 50.6 and this paragraph. The plan shall also include provisions for halting work and correcting the containment in the event unacceptable emissions occur. The positioning of air monitoring equipment shall be in accordance with 40 CFR 58, App E, Subpart (8). In addition, a minimum of two PM-10 monitors shall be used at the project site, one down wind 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, monitoring shall be conducted throughout the entire period that abrasive blasting and cleanup operations are performed.

Otherwise, monitoring shall be performed 4 of the first 8 days and on a regular basis thereafter for a sum total of 25 percent of the time surface preparation and debris cleanup are performed. Failure to meet air quality regulatory limits shall require air monitoring to be repeated immediately after corrective actions have been taken. Also conduct preproject PM-10 monitoring. The preproject PM-10 monitoring shall be conducted a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the project. The monitoring shall continue for a minimum of 3 days to establish background levels. A PM-10 Test Report shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer within 48 hours and shall include:

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.

g. Wind direction and velocity.

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.

1.3.3.5 TSP Monitoring

Prepare a TSP Monitoring Plan for monitoring emissions of Total Suspended Particulates (TSP). The plan shall comply with the requirements of EPA regulation 40 CFR 50.12 and this paragraph. The plan shall also include provisions for halting work and correcting the containment in the event unacceptable emissions occur. The positioning of air monitoring equipment shall be in accordance with 40 CFR 58, App E, Subpart (8). In addition, use a minimum of two TSP monitors at the project site, one down wind from the project and one in the area of greatest public access (e.g. playground, school yard, or homeowner's yard). Conduct TSP-lead monitoring in accordance with 40 CFR 50, App B. When the project is in an area where

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 18 there are critical receptors nearby, monitoring shall be conducted throughout the entire period that abrasive blasting and cleanup operations are performed. Otherwise, monitoring shall be performed 4 of the first 8 days and on a regular basis thereafter for a sum total of 25 percent of the time surface preparation and debris cleanup are performed. Failure to meet air quality regulatory limits shall require air monitoring to be repeated immediately after corrective actions have been taken. Also conduct preproject TSP monitoring. The preproject TSP monitoring shall be conducted a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the project.

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.

g. Wind direction and velocity.

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.

1.3.3.6 Water Quality

NOTE: If the work is proximate to storm sewers, rivers, bays, streams, or other bodies of water, include paragraph WATER QUALITY to prohibit contamination of the water from the project activities; otherwise delete paragraph WATER QUALITY. Modify if necessary to comply with State or local EPA requirements.

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 shall 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

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 19 are not required for the project. In the event that there are any releases of lead paint debris into the waterways, with reportable quantities of hazardous substances designated pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act, they shall be reported to the EPA in accordance with 40 CFR 117 and 40 CFR 355. Releases or spills that carry into waterways or storm sewers shall be thoroughly documented. The documentation shall 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. Releases shall also be reported to the Coast Guard and other state and local authorities as appropriate. If the release is equivalent to 4.5 kg 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.

1.3.3.7 Soil Quality

NOTE: If the work is near exposed ground (e.g., soil, sand, clay, etc.), include the requirements of paragraph SOIL QUALITY to assure that the ground is not contaminated by project activities. Contact the State or local EPA to determine if a specific soil contamination criteria exists. If so, modify this section accordingly.

Prepare a Soil Quality Plan for all job sites where lead-containing or other hazardous paint will be removed. The plan shall 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 shall be 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. Soil sampling and testing shall be conducted 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 shall be selected for soil analysis. Two locations shall be selected beneath or immediately adjacent to the structure being prepared, and additional samples shall be taken within 30 m 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 shall be sufficient to adequately characterize the soil contaminant levels within and around the project area. Five composite samples shall be collected at each location. Each of the five samples shall be comprised of five individual plugs of soil combined in a single bag. The composite samples at each location shall be collected using the following procedure:

a. Place a 0.093 square m 1-square foot template at each location.

b. Remove a sample of soil 19 mm 3/4 inch in diameter and 13 mm 1/2 inch in depth at the center of the template and at each of the four

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 20 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 25 mm 1 inch in any direction and repeat the process to collect the second sample. Place all plugs in a separate bag. Move the template 5 mm 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) shall be sampled in the precise locations.

Three samples collected at each location shall be analyzed. One of the remaining two samples shall be maintained by the Contractor for the duration of the project and the other by the Contracting Officer in the event reanalysis is required. Lead-containing samples shall be analyzed 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 will be employed to determine if the soil shall be handled and disposed of as a hazardous waste. The initial sampling of the soil for total lead content does not establish whether the soil would 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 4.5 kg 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 shall 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. The documentation shall be provided to the Contracting Officer and shall also include the Soil Quality Test Report with results of the prework and post work soil quality tests.

1.4 SUBMITTALS

NOTE: Review submittal description (SD) definitions in Section 01 33 00 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES and edit the following list to reflect only the submittals required for the project.

The Guide Specification technical editors have designated those items that require Government approval, due to their complexity or criticality, with a "G." Generally, other submittal items can be reviewed by the Contractor's Quality Control System. Only add a “G” to an item, if the submittal is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project.

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 21

For submittals requiring Government approval on Army projects, a code of up to three characters within the submittal tags may be used following the "G" designation to indicate the approving authority.
