Special care shall be taken to minimize damage to floor sheeting. All equipment not required on the project shall be decontaminated and removed from the area. All ACM disposal bags shall be removed from the containment prior to receiving approval for encapsulation or lockdown. B. Wet clean all surfaces in the work area using rags, mops and sponges as appropriate. (Note: Some HEPA vacuums may not be wet-dry vacuums. To pick up excess water and gross wet debris, a wet-dry shop vacuum may be used. This will be contaminated and require cleaning,prior to removal from the work area). C. Visually inspect all areas where asbestfcte removal has taken place. Any dust, debris or residue in the containment afbbshall be considered to be contaminated and shall be treated as asbestos.

Upon written approval by the Industrial hygienist in the Contractors logbook,
encapsulation or lockdown shall be done on all surfaces including all poly, if the inspection fails, Contractor shall re-clean using all the above mentioned steps. G. When encapsulation or lockdown has been applied the Contractor shall wait for a drying period of not less than six (6) hours or at the discretion of the on-site Industrial Hygienist. H. When encapsulation has dried, the Contractor shall remove outer layer of poly from the wall, floors and ceilings. The ceiling poly shall be the first layer removed and shall be placed on the floor. Next remove the walls and place them on the floor. The floor shall then be rolled inward to avoid contamination of the inner layer of poly. Double bag the poly and remove from the containment as contaminated waste. I. Following the satisfactory removal ofthe outer layer of poly, another inspection shall be performed by the on-site Industrial Hygienist (IH). If any debris is found, the IH shall instruct the Contractor to re-clean the entire area. If the area is clean the IH shall begin with his first step of pre-clearance testing. (See section 01714) Clearance Testing). J. Upon achieving the clearance criteria for pre-clearance the inner layer of poly shall be removed following instructions of H. above.

Clean and isolate the work area in accordance with Section 01527. B. Spray all asbestos material with a mixture of encasulant and amendedwater, using spray equipment capable of delivering a low pressure mist to reduce the release of asbestos fibers. Adequately wet the ACM to the substrate. Spray the ACM continuously during the removal practices to maintain adequate wet conditions and minimize fiber release and dispersion. Follow all manufacturers recommended procedures if a manufactured product is used for removal processes. C. Saturated asbestos containing material shall be removed in manageable sections. As ACM is removed, material will be placed in a suitable container (6 mil(0.152mm) polyethylene bags or drum). Material shall not be allowed to dry out prior to containerizing. Surrounding areas shall be periodically sprayed and maintained in a wet condition until visible material is cleaned up. D. All material removed shall not be thrown or dropped to the floor. Removal of intact and manageable sections is highly recorhmended as it will reduce fiber dispersion. All ACM containerized shall be careful]^; lowered to the ground floor by asbestos personnel; where this is not feasible.cpritfactor may use other mechanical means to lower containers. Mechanical means may-include but is not limited to inclined chutes, scaffolding, and pulleys, e.t$' ' ^ E. Containers (6 mil(0.152mm) polyethylene bags or drums) shall be sealed when full. All ACM containerized shall be double lined.

Asbestos containing waste with sharp-edged components (e.g. nails, screws, metal lath, tin sheeting) will tear the polyethylene bags and should be placed into drums for disposal. H. After completion of all stripping work, surfaces from which asbestos containing materials have been removed shall be wet brushed and sponged or cleaned by some equivalent method to remove all visible residue. I. Clean-up shall proceed in accordance with Section 01712. J. After the work area has been rendered free of visible residues, and Industrial Hygienist (IH) inspection and approval, a thin coat of a satisfactory encapsulating agent shall be applied to all surfaces in the work area including structural members, building components and plastic sheeting on walls, floors and covering non removable items, to seal in non-visible residue.
