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 6 mil 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 materia] is cleaned up. D. All material removed shall not be thrown or dropped to the floor. Removal of intact and manageable sections is highly recommended as it will reduce fiber dispersion. All ACM containerized shall be carefully lowered to the ground floor by asbestos personnel. E. Containers (6-mil polyethylene bags or drums) shall be sealed when full. All ACM containerized shall be double lined. Bags shall not be overfilled as wet material is heavier than dry material. All containerized material shall be sealed with suitable duct tape, do not use wire or cord as it may break the container. All containerized material shall be decontaminated on the exterior surfaces before leaving the work area. F. Large components removed intact shall be wrapped in 2 layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting secured with tape for transport to the landfill. G. 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 the Industrial Hygienist (IH) has inspected and approved the area, 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. (Note: 1) High temperature components such as boilers and pipes may not permit the application of some encapsulants. 2) If insulation or acoustical materials are to be reapplied to the abated area, be certain that the encapsulant selected will permit good adhesion to the substrate. A small area should be tested before application). Sun City Analytical, Inc. (c)copyright 1996 33 ASARCO.Idc. El Faso, Texas ASARCO ELP 0010530 K. Special circumstances (e.g. live electrical equipment, high amosite content of material, materials previously coated with an encapsulant or paint) may prohibit the adequate use of wet methods to reduce fiber concentrations. For these situations, a dry removal method may be required. The contractor will have to acquire special permits, different from those'mentioned herein from the NESHAP enforcement agency.

See Section 01560 and Section 01563 for minimum personnel protection. Industrial Hygienist (IH) shall authorize commencement of removal procedures. Clean and isolate the work area in accordance with Section 01527. Containers or drum shall mean containers that meet DOT 49 CFR 178. B. Spray all asbestos containing material with amended water solution, removal encapsulant, or chemical remover using spray equipment capable of delivering a low pressure mist to reduce the release of asbestos fibers. Adequately wet the ACM to the substrate and 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 6 mil 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 recommended as it will reduce fiber dispersion. All ACM containerized shall be carefully lowered to the ground floor by asbestos personnel. E. Containers (6-mil polyethylene bags or drums) shall be sealed when full. All ACM containerized shall be double lined. Bags shall not be overfilled as wet material is heavier than dry material. All containerized material shall be sealed with suitable duct tape, do not use wire or cord as it may break the container. All containerized material shall be decontaminated on the exterior surfaces before leaving the work area. F. Large components removed intact shall be wrapped in 2 layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting secured with tape for transport to the landfill. G. 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 the Industrial Hygienist (IH) has inspected and approved the area, 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. (Note: 1) High temperature components such as boilers and pipes may not permit the application of some encapsulants. 2) If insulation or acoustical materials are to be reapplied to the abated area, be certain that the encapsulant selected will permit good adhesion to the substrate. A small area should be tested before application). Sun City Analytical, Inc. (c)copyright 1996 34 ASARCO.lnc. El Paso, Texas ASARCO ELP 0010571 K. Special circumstances (e.g. live electrical equipment, high amosite content of material, materials previously coated with an encapsulant or paint) may prohibit the adequate use of wet methods to reduce fiber concentrations. For these situations, a dry removal method may be required. The contractor will have to acquire special permits, different from those mentioned herein from the NESHAP enforcement agency.

Lock out all electrical power where actual asbestos removal will occur. B. Asbestos removal of asbestos containing roofing material (Category I non-friable ACM) shall be performed using all personal protective equipment to include half face respirator with HEPA filter cartridges. A decontamination station shall be erected, as specified, in its respective section on all areas of abatement. 1.02 Removal of ACM duct wrap A. Set up barrier tape, warning signs, and control center. B. Preclean all surfaces, using the wet methods and/or HEPA filter equipment. Pick up and bag up any debris, spray encapsulant on all ACM. C. Prior to setting up poly, welders shall cut all steel reinforcement plates to gain access to ACM. Strict adherence to the ASARCO safety procedures for hot work shall be followed. D. When welders have completed all the cutting of the metal, the certified supervisor shall inspect the areas to insure no hot metal or fire hazards exist in the work area prior to erection of wind breaker. E. Wind breakers shall be installed, as specified. This wind breaker will consist of six feet high walls aroud the work area, those walls shall be made of two layers of 6 mil (black) poly.
