Regardless of the results of 40 CFR 261 App II, Mtd 1311, all waste generated from abrasive blasting, lead-containing paints with recyclable steel or iron abrasives must be either disposed of as a hazardous waste or be stabilized with proprietary pre-blast additives . 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 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

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 9 the procedures for removing debris. Contain debris generated during paint removal operations in accordance with the requirements of SSPC Guide 6 , Class 1A. Where required, verify the containment air pressure by instrument.

1.2.3.3 Visible Emissions Monitoring

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 PM-10 Monitoring

Prepare and submit a PM-10 Monitoring Plan for monitoring emissions of particulate matter 10 microns or less in size (PM-10) in compliance with the requirements of EPA regulation 40 CFR 50.6 and this paragraph. The plan must also include provisions for halting work and correcting the containment in the event unacceptable emissions occur.

1.2.3.6 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 .

During periods of inclement weather, painting may be continued by enclosing the surfaces and utilizing climate control equipment (e.g. dehumidification, heaters, etc.), provided the minimum temperatures and surface dryness requirements prescribed previously are maintained. Paint must not be applied to surfaces heated by direct sunlight or other sources to temperatures that will cause detrimental blistering, pinholing, or porosity of the film.

PART 2 PRODUCTS

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 Lead Work

Perform lead work in accordance with approved Lead Compliance Plan. Use procedures and equipment required to limit occupational exposure and environmental contamination with lead when the work is performed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62 , and as specified herein. Dispose of all PWL or MCL and associated waste in compliance with federal, State, and local requirements.

3.2 CLEANING AND PREPARATION OF SURFACES TO BE PAINTED

3.2.1 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

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 16 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.

3.2.2 Ferrous Surfaces Subject to Atmospheric Exposures

Clean ferrous surfaces that are to be continuously in exterior or interior atmospheric exposure and other surfaces as directed by means of dry blasting to a commercial grade. Conduct power tool cleaning in conformance with the requirements of SSPC SP 3 in areas unable to be abrasive blasted .Conduct commercial blast cleaning in conformance with the requirements of SSPC SP 6/NACE No.3 . Clean welds and adjoining surfaces within a few inches (centimeters) of weld flux, spatter, and other harmful deposits by blasting, power impact tools, power wire brush, or such combination of these and other methods as may be necessary for complete removal of each type of deposit. The combination of cleaning methods need not include blasting when preparation of the overall surfaces is carried out by the power tool method; however, brush scrubbing and rinsing with clean water, after mechanical cleaning is completed is required unless the latter is carried out with thoroughness to remove all soluble alkaline deposits. Limit wetting of the surfaces during water-washing operations to the weld area required to be treated, and assure that wetted areas, including any crevices, are completely dry before painting. Welds and adjacent surfaces cleaned thoroughly by blasting alone will be considered adequately prepared provided that weld spatter not dislodged by the blast stream is removed with impact or grinding tools. Round all sharp edges including those caused by corrosion, to a minimum radius of 1/16 inch to ensure adequate paint coverage. Prime all surfaces as soon as practicable after cleaning and in all cases prior to contamination or deterioration of the prepared surfaces. To the greatest degree possible, clean (and prime)all steel surfaces prior to lengthy outdoor storage.

3.3 PAINT APPLICATION

3.3.1 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. 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 general painting if the spray gun is equipped with dual or adjustable tips of proper types and orifice sizes. The use of airless-type equipment is not allowed for

SECTION 09 97 02 Page 17 the application of vinyl paints.

3.3.2 Mixing and Thinning of Coatings other than the Vinyl Formulations

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. Moisture cure urethane paint must be resampled and resubmitted for testing to determine its suitability for application whenever the paint is more than six months beyond the date of manufacture on the container or more than 6 months beyond the last documented laboratory testing.

3.3.3 Time between Surface Preparation and Painting
