H. When the term Universal Waste is used on the list of samples, is there a specific analyte to be investigated.

Answer: PCB levels in transformers, pesticides and lead acid battery water if found.

I. Sample numbers to be excessive (i.e. 10 lagoon, 50 Universal Waste) or inadequate, i.e. 50 asbestos, 64 man hours). Please review and revise.

Answer: Agreed; The sample number for the lagoons should be changed to three (3) samples for the 2 cell lagoons; 1 sample per cell and one at the discharge pipe. The total number of asbestos samples will be changed to 300 each. The contractor will provide a unit price per sample for any samples above the 3000 samples estimated. In 1989, the AHERA interpretation was AHERA applied to school buildings occupied by students. No facility management shops, well houses, pump houses; quarters were sampled as a result of this interpretation. Therefore, these area will need to be sampled. Universal waste was included to allow for sampling of pesticides, PCB transformers or light ballasts. Agreed; The number of universal waste samples will be reduced to 5 samples to profile for disposal or recycling. Lagoon Sampling: Agreed; I am reducing number of sample to one in the center of each of the two cells and one at the discharge point for a total of three samples. Man Hours: The total man hours for the project will be changed to a total cost to conduct the work rather than in man hours.

Answer: No engineer stamp will be required. The requirement will be amended to read signed by an Environmental Professional. (The ASTM E1527-05 1.6 Opinion requires an opinion and statement of an environmental professional and ASTM E1903-11 11.5.6.4 requires the statement of an environmental professional.)
