Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Plan Prepared: 10/24/2023 by Steven K. Chun

INTRODUCTION

An Asbestos Operations and Maintenance (O&M) program is required for each facility containing known asbestos-containing materials (ACMs)/presumed asbestos containing materials (PACMs), or material suspected or assumed to contain asbestos. Asbestos containing material is defined as any material containing more than 1% asbestos. Suspect building materials must be assumed to contain asbestos or shall be reinspected and sampled by trained personnel and analyzed by an accredited laboratory prior to any renovation/demolition work.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Order 3900.19B, Occupational Safety and Health Program, Chapter 15, Asbestos Control Program (ACP), defines policy for management of ACM and PACM in Federal Aviation FAA facilities. FAA Order 1050.20A, Airway Facilities Asbestos Control Program, provides Airway Facilities (AF) specific requirements for the ACP.

These FAA orders require that each facility in the National Airspace System (NAS) develop and implement an Asbestos O&M Plan. The O&M plan is one of the key elements in the FAA’s ACP. It provides a responsible alternative to asbestos removal by developing a pro-active, in-place asbestos management program for existing asbestos in and around buildings.

PURPOSE

The primary purpose of this O&M program is to minimize the exposure of all building occupants at the facility to asbestos fibers. This can be accomplished by proper employee training and work practices designed to:

• Maintain ACM in good condition.

• Ensure proper cleanup of previously released asbestos fibers.

• Prevent further release of asbestos fibers.

• Monitor the condition of known or suspect ACM.

• Minimize ACM impact during renovation, modification and construction projects

The policy regarding ACM at this facility is to make every effort to prevent employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. This shall be accomplished through employee training and awareness, engineering controls, personal protective equipment and published directives. This policy will remain in effect until the hazards from ACM are removed.

This Asbestos O&M Plan will be subject to change as the ACM in the facility is reduced through the modernization of the buildings, through changes in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, and/or changes in personnel and specific duty assignments.

Any national, regional, or facility labor-management agreements properly negotiated and signed, regarding asbestos management, will be appended to this document. A copy of this document will be provided to each bargaining unit, the System Support Center (SSC) Manager, and those units directly involved with asbestos operations and maintenance. Any asbestos maintenance and operations activity will be coordinated with the Facility Asbestos Coordinator (FAC).

FAA employees will not perform asbestos removal unless they are properly trained. Abatement activities that can be performed by FAA personnel at this facility will be limited to such work as performing floor tile/mastic removal, drilling holes through floor tile or anchoring items to walls.

These types of work activities are defined by OSHA as Class III asbestos work. The definition in 29 CFR 1926.1101 states “Class III asbestos work means repair and maintenance operations, where ACM, including TSI (thermal system insulation) and surfacing ACM and PACM, is likely to be disturbed. PACM is defined as thermal system insulation and surfacing material found in buildings constructed no later than 1980. The designation of a material as PACM may be rebutted by a building owner, at any time, by demonstrating that PACM does not contain asbestos (see 29 CFR 1926.1101 (k)(5)). The list of definitions pertaining to this O&M Plan can be found in APPENDIX 1, DEFINITIONS.

SCOPE

A comprehensive Facilities ACP is required for all buildings and facilities by FAA Order 1050.20A, and 3900.19C, Chapter 15. Each SSC will have a general plan that will be supplemented by facility specific plans which include the following elements: Facility Asbestos Surveys, Facility Plans, Work Control System, Response Actions, Respiratory Protection and Personal Protective Equipment, Air Monitoring, Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC), Training and Communications, Medical Surveillance and Recordkeeping.

This site-specific O&M Plan is included as part of the Facility Plans as required by the ACP.

Although ACM can be removed from a facility, when appropriate precautions are taken, both OSHA and EPA recommend implementation of a proactive O&M program for managing asbestos in place. The program is to be accomplished through notification; surveillance; work practice and controls; recordkeeping; worker protection and training. This O&M plan follows the guidelines set out in FAA Order 1050.20A to accomplish these goals and to continue to be in compliance.

The purpose of this O&M plan is to provide for the on-going safety and health of all employees and visitors to the facility. This objective is achieved through the following activities:

• Periodic inspection and assessment of ACM and PACM.

• An on-going program of facility ACM condition inspection.

• Air monitoring under the direction of a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) to establish baseline fiber counts during abatement activities at manned facilities.

• Recordkeeping.

• Specialized and dedicated asbestos operations and maintenance equipment.

• Written Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) detailing work practices.

• A work permit system administered by the FAC under which all ACM related activities performed by FAA and contractors are controlled and documented.

This O&M program addresses all ACM/PACM present in the buildings which comprise this facility, including debris and dust that may have been released from installed ACM. The program will be implemented by the Safety and Environmental Compliance Manager (SECM) who is also acting as the FAC. This O&M program meets or exceeds the requirements of FAA Order 1050.20A and of any applicable Federal, state, and local laws.

On August 10, 1994, OSHA defined four classes of asbestos work. They include:

• OSHA Class I: Activities involving the removal of thermal system insulation (TSI) and sprayed-on, troweled-on, or otherwise applied surfacing ACM/PACM.

• OSHA Class II: Activities involving removal of ACM/PACM which is not TSI or surfacing materials.

• OSHA Class III: Repair and maintenance operations which are likely to disturb

ACM/PACM.

• OSHA Class IV: Custodial and housekeeping operations where minimal contact with ACM/PACM may occur.

Larger scale projects (OSHA Classes I and II) involving more complex procedures for the intentional removal of ACM are considered asbestos abatement projects. These projects require asbestos control and abatement procedures that are outside the scope of this O&M plan.

Federal, state, and local regulations provide the basis for developing a facility O&M plan. The most pertinent regulations for this O&M plan can be found in APPENDIX 2, APPLICABLE

ASBESTOS LOCATIONS

An initial asbestos survey following AHERA protocols was conducted at all the Maui SSC facilities. AHERA inspections focus on the identification of asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) such as surfacing materials, thermal system insulation, and miscellaneous materials. Suspect PACM not readily accessible in walls, doors, gaskets, roofing, and sealants, etc., were not sampled by the FAA and must be assumed to contain asbestos until proven otherwise. The full report of the survey is on file with the site SSC Manager and the

SECM.

ASBESTOS SURVEY RECOMMENDATIONS

The following are recommendations for ACM identified in these facilities. Materials assumed asbestos-containing should be sampled by trained personnel and analyzed by an accredited laboratory prior to removal or alteration. Unless planned renovations, repairs, damaged ACM, or the potential for damage require actions, it is recommended that the ACM identified in this report not be disturbed or removed. If the ACM should be distributed or removed for any reason, personal protective equipment and properly trained personnel must be utilized.

Alterations to or the removal of asbestos-containing materials require adherence to all applicable federal, state, and local regulations concerning the removal and disposal of asbestos materials. Periodic condition inspections are recommended until the materials are removed.

FACILITY INSPECTION

Periodic Surveillance

A visual re-inspection of all known or presumed ACM in the facility shall be conducted at least annually by the FAC or another employee designated by the FAC and who has received at least 2 hours of awareness training. The reinspection shall be designed to detect damage to, or deterioration of, the ACM and to facilitate any corrective actions needed. Personnel conducting this surveillance should note, assess, and document all changes in condition of known or assumed ACM in the facility since the last inspection.

Personnel conducting this inspection shall be familiar with the facility and the contents of the Asbestos Inspection and Inventory Report.

Preconstruction Survey

Prior to the commencement of a renovation or demolition project, the affected part of the facility where the work will occur will be thoroughly inspected for the presence of asbestos.

NOTIFICATION AND SIGNAGE

Notification All building occupants, including employees, tenants, and contract service personnel shall be informed as to the following:

• Presence, location, and condition of known or assumed ACM in the facility.

• The nature of the asbestos hazard.

• How to avoid disturbing ACM.

• Name and telephone number of the FAC and/or primary asbestos contact for the facility.

Notification shall be provided by means of a program using written notification, signage, and labeling. Notification should also be given to all building occupants before the commencement of any construction projects where ACM will be disturbed.

Labels and Signs

• Asbestos warning signs shall be posted at all regulated areas at such distance from a regulated area so that an employee can see them and take protective steps to avoid entering the area.

• Signs shall be posted at the entrance to mechanical rooms/areas containing ACM/PACM which employees can reasonably be expected to enter.

• Where feasible, warning labels shall be affixed to previously identified TSI or surfacing that is ACM/PACM, e.g., in areas where routine maintenance takes place and/or where there is reasonable likelihood of contact with these materials.

• Notification of outside contractors. Non-asbestos abatement contractors performing work in FAA facilities covered by this order shall be subject to the work control system.

WORK CONTROL SYSTEM

The purpose of the Asbestos Work Control System is to control the activities, facility personnel, and work practices that may impact the asbestos within the facility. Personnel initiating the work must request, receive approval for, and post an asbestos work permit prior to all activities that may contact or disturb the asbestos. The FAC shall review and approve all work permits involving asbestos operations.

In addition to the asbestos work permit, the requirements of the latest edition of Order 3900.60, FAA Preconstruction and Maintenance Project Safety and Health Checklist, shall be followed.

Work Permits

Work Permits shall be required whenever there is a potential to disturb any asbestos containing materials. The FAC shall issue those permits. A copy of this work permit is included in Appendix 2.

Examples of work that requires a permit are:

• Drilling, specifically hammer drilling.

• Cable pulling.

• Any wall, ceiling tile or floor tile removal.

• Construction, modifications and renovation of the facility.

• Any "active work" in regulated areas. “Regulated area” means an area established by the employer to demarcate areas where Class I, II, and/or III asbestos work is conducted, or any adjoining area where debris and waste from such asbestos work accumulate; and where airborne concentrations of asbestos exceed, or there is a reasonable possibility that they may exceed, the permissible exposure limit (PEL). The PEL is equal to 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter of air as an 8-hour time weighted average. (See Appendix 1. Definitions).

• Removal and installation of ceiling electrical fixtures in the vicinity of ceilings that contain

ACM or PACM.

• Work in or near areas where TSI may be disturbed.

Air samples may be taken during some of these activities, if directed by the FAC. If possible, tests will be run prior to those activities to determine the expected airborne level of asbestos and procedures and protection will be based upon the results of these samples.

Work will be halted if there are indications that asbestos is becoming airborne and migrating outside the asbestos containment controls. Work will remain stopped until measures are implemented to contain/reduce the airborne concentrations to acceptable levels.

RESPONSE ACTIONS

Asbestos response actions at this facility will be performed by either FAA employees (Class III and IV only), or contractors. One or more of these response actions may be required to safely manage and dispose of ACM/PACM. Response actions include abatement, encapsulation, enclosure, repair, and operations and maintenance. The type of response action may be determined by any of the following: condition of the ACM/PACM, proximity to occupied areas, potential for disturbance, and/or planned renovations or demolition activities. When a potential health hazard to building occupants exists due to the presence of damaged or friable ACM/PACM, appropriate response actions shall be initiated. Whenever an accidental release occurs, FAA employees may be used to contain the area to prevent the spread of contamination to nearby work areas until such time as a licensed contractor can be obtained.

Class I and Class II Asbestos Abatement Projects

Class I and II abatement projects shall be conducted by qualified contractor employees in strict accordance with Federal, state, and local regulatory requirements, and FAA orders.

Asbestos abatement specifications and project designs shall be prepared by an EPA or state certified project designer. Specifications shall be site specific and provide sufficient information to enforce the contract documents. Specifications and project design must include detailed procedures to be used by the abatement contractor to safely and thoroughly abate the asbestos while assuring the safety and health of employees in the facility.

All abatement shall be performed by a licensed abatement contractor using workers who have been trained according to EPA requirements by state accredited training providers.

The contractor shall prepare a written asbestos abatement plan that shall comply with the requirements of the project specifications and be compatible with the current facility asbestos abatement contingency plan, Federal, state, and local requirements, and other applicable FAA orders and guidelines.

Project oversight and environmental monitoring shall be performed by a licensed independent third party environmental monitoring firm contracted by the FAA. The work shall be performed under the direct supervision of a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) employed by the environmental monitoring firm.

Class III and Class IV Asbestos Projects

Class III and IV asbestos projects shall be conducted by FAA or contractor employees in strict accordance with this O&M Plan; Federal, state, and local requirements; and FAA orders.

Standard Operating Procedures are found in Appendix 3. Employees must be trained at a minimum as an asbestos O & M worker. Air monitoring will be conducted as required and at the direction of the FAC.

The definition in 29 CFR 1926.1101 states “Class III asbestos work means repair and maintenance operations, where ACM, including TSI (thermal system insulation) and surfacing ACM and PACM, is likely to be disturbed.” PACM means “Presumed Asbestos Containing Material” (PACM) and is defined as thermal system insulation and surfacing material found in buildings constructed no later than 1980. The designation of a material as PACM may be rebutted by a building owner, at any time, by demonstrating that PACM does not contain asbestos (see 29 CFR 1926.1101 (k)(5)).

Class IV activities include housekeeping in locations containing ACM/PACM that does not disturb the intact material. Class IV may also include the cleanup of residue that may contain asbestos. The determination of whether residue may likely contain asbestos will be performed in coordination with the SECM. Surface sampling (wipe, vacuum, tape, etc.) shall not be used for this determination due to the lack of regulatory standards and established, standardized criteria to interpret sample results.

Storage, Transportation, and Disposal of ACM/PACM

All asbestos waste generated at FAA facilities will be segregated, stored, transported, and disposed of in accordance with all applicable Federal, state, and local requirements.

• Storage. ACM/PACM waste shall be stored inside leak-proof containers in designated areas until properly transported to an approved disposal site. The containers shall be properly labeled and stored in such a manner as to reduce the potential for accidental disturbance.

• Transportation. The waste hauling company will be licensed, per applicable state requirements, to transport ACM/PACM waste.

• Disposal. All ACM/PACM waste shall be disposed of at a site currently approved to accept asbestos waste materials in accordance with Federal, state, and local requirements. The transporter shall be required to provide a completed waste shipment record to the FAA within 30 days after removal of the waste from the site. If the completed waste shipment record is not received back from the disposal site within 35 days, the FAC will contact the disposal site and the waste hauler to determine the status of the shipment. If the completed waste shipment record is not received within 45 days after removal of waste from the site, the FAC will contact the appropriate state environmental department and the EPA to report the missing waste shipment record.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

The FAC/SECM and the SSC shall evaluate the emergency situation and develop appropriate response actions based upon the procedures detailed in this section and site specific conditions.

Emergency asbestos releases include the following:

1. Release during abatement or work involving ACM (follow the Facility Asbestos Abatement Contingency Plan).

2. Unplanned release of suspected asbestos fiber due to causes other than construction or repairs (follow steps outlined below).

Step 1: Employee Response

Any FAA employee who suspects that an ACM release has occurred shall:

• Vacate the area if possible, or isolate the disturbed ACM and notify their supervisor.

• Call the SECM and SSC manager. If they are not on duty, NAS Operations should be notified. The NAS Operations will then contact the people listed above.

Step 2. SECM Response

The SECM with the support of the SSC Manager, shall:

• Evaluate the emergency situation and develop hazard minimization procedures.

• Contact other groups/representatives such as the Unions and SSC Manager.

• Notify WSA P&R environmental PIM within two hours from the time of the incident and provide the following information:

1) Date of the incident

2) Time the problem occurred or was discovered

3) Nature of the problem and actions taken

4) Names of persons contacted

5) Name of person reporting the incident.

• Facilitate air monitoring, which shall be initiated and continued until the results indicate that airborne concentrations have returned to baseline/background levels.

• Assess the impact that the incident will have on NAS and other affected operations.

Decisions and clean-up activities will be based upon this impact.

• There may be a need to develop primary and secondary options in response to the emergency situation if there is a potential impact on the NAS.

1. Primary Response Options:

Isolate and seal off the area, if possible. If this is not possible or practical, the ACM should he isolated to prevent migration to other areas.

2. Secondary Response Options

A certified asbestos contractor should be contacted to clean up the release. Engineering controls should be considered if immediate action is required and time permits.

3. Review Options and Develop Recommendations

Based upon the situation and available resources, a recommended course of corrective action shall be developed from the available options and presented to the SSC Manager for review and approval. This selected course of action shall place priorities on employee protection and minimizing NAS impact.

4. Present the Recommendations to the SSC Manager

The SSC Manager or designated representative shall have the final decision on emergency actions. If the SSC Manager or designated representative is not available, the SECM shall have the decision-making authority.

5. Implement the Decision

6. The SECM with the support of the on-site Industrial Hygienist, O&M trained personnel, and other supporting personnel shall implement the decision made by the SSC Manager.

Emergency Response Evaluation

The persons involved in the emergency response shall meet as soon as possible after the emergency is corrected to discuss and evaluate the actions taken and to make recommendations to improve emergency response performance in the future.
