1926.62 ; and that there were no visible accumulations of m aterial and dust containing lead left in the work site. Do not remov e the lead control area or roped off boundary and warning signs prior to th e Contracting Officer's acknowledgement of receipt of the CP certification.

Clear the lead control area in industrial facilitie s of all visible dust and debris.

Soil samples taken at the exterior of the work site shall be used to determine if soil lead levels had increased at a st atistically significant level (significant at the 95 percent confidence lim it) from the soil lead levels prior to the operation. If soil lead levels either show a statistically significant increase above soil lead levels prior to work or soil lead levels above any applicable federal or st ate standard for lead in soil, the soil shall be remediated.

3.5.2 Disposal

2.4 ABRASIVE

The referenced abrasive specifications have maximum limits for soluble salts contamination, however, this maximum level of conta mination does not guarantee that contamination will not be transferred to the s teel surface during abrasive blasting. Other factors such as on-site ha ndling and recycling can allow contamination of abrasive. Contractors are ca utioned to verify that the chosen abrasive, along with work and storage proces ses, allow the final surface cleanliness requirements to be achieved. Su ccessful testing of chlorides in abrasive does not negate the final acc eptance testing of steel surfaces.

To develop a suitable work mix from new steel abras ive, a minimum of 200 -400 recycles is required, therefore, it is advantageous for a Contractor to use remanufactured steel grit or grit reclaimed from a previous project. Such grit shall be considered to conform if it can be traced to new grit conforming to SSPC AB 3 Class 1 and it meets all cleanliness requirements of SSPC AB 3 Class 1 when brought to the current jobsite. Submit one r epresentative sample of this work mix to the laboratory for testing, along with samples of new material.
