3.06 GENERAL REMOVAL PROCEDURES
A. Wet all asbestos-containing material with amended water solution using equipment capable of
providing a fine spray mist. Avoid knocking the material loose during the wetting operation.
Saturate the material to substrate prior to removal; however, do not allow excessive water to
accumulate in the Work Area. Keep all removed material saturated until it can be containerized
for disposal. Maintain a high humidity in the barrier or enclosure throughout the abatement
period by misting or spraying to ensure material saturation and reduce the potential for elevated
airborne concentrations. Wetting procedures are not equally effective on all types of asbestos-
containing materials. Nonetheless, they shall be used in all cases.
B. Saturated asbestos containing material shall be removed in manageable sections. Containerize
removed material immediately and prior to moving it to a new location for continuance of work.
Adjacent areas shall be periodically sprayed and maintained in a saturated condition until all
visible material is sealed and removed from the barrier or enclosure.
C. Removed material shall not be dropped or thrown. Remove material intact or as components
whenever possible and carefully lower to the floor. If this cannot be feasibly accomplished, a
dust-tight chute shall be constructed to transport the material to containers on the floor, or the
material may be containerized at elevated levels (e.g., on scaffolds) and carefully lowered to the
ground by mechanical means.
D. Double bag all waste material prior to removal from the enclosure system or immediately upon
removal of the barrier (glove bag).
E. Disposal bags shall not be overfilled. Additionally, handcarts or equivalent shall be used to
transport waste containers or materials. Waste containers or materials shall be raised and
securely transported and shall not be dropped or slid.
F. Disposal containers shall be securely sealed to prevent accidental opening and leakage by
taping in a gooseneck fashion, then labeled and dated. Do not seal bags with wire or cord.
Bags may be placed in drums for staging and transportation to the landfill. Bags shall be
decontaminated on exterior surfaces by wet cleaning and HEPA vacuuming.
G. Large components removed intact may be wrapped in 2 layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting
secured with tape for transport to the landfill.
F. The Work Area shall be cleaned of all suspect ACM prior to the visual inspection by the
Contractor. If any accumulation of residue is observed, it will be assumed to be asbestos. Re-
cleaning may be required, at no additional cost to the Owner, until all suspect material is
removed. Re-cleaning and inspection will continue until no visible suspect material remains.
After the Work Area passes the visual inspection, the Contractor shall perform encapsulation of
all cleaned surfaces.
G. Refer to Section 3.10 of this Specification for Work Area clearance process.
3-07 CONTAINMENT ENTRY AND EXIT PROCEDURES
A. Personnel Entry and Exit:
1. All workers and authorized personnel shall enter the containment area through the

7. Personnel shall proceed to equipment room where they remove all protective equipment
except respirators. Deposit disposable clothing into appropriately labeled containers for
disposal.
8. Reusable contaminated footwear shall be stored in the equipment room when not in use
in the containment area. Upon completion of abatement, it shall be disposed of as
asbestos contaminated waste (rubber boots may be decontaminated for reuse at the
completion of the abatement).
9. Still wearing respirators, personnel shall proceed naked to the shower area, clean the
outside of the respirators and the exposed face area under running water prior to
removal of respirator, and shower and shampoo to removal residual asbestos
contamination. The HEPA filters on airline respirators are for emergency escape only.
The airline may not be disconnected in the equipment room. The airline shall be placed
in a bucket of clean water or hung on a hook next to the shower. A powered air
purifying respirator face piece will have to be disconnected from the filter/power pack
assembly, which is not waterproof upon entering the shower. A dual cartridge respirator
may be worn into the shower. Tape over inlet(s) into HEPA filter(s) between usages.

3.10 WORK AREA CLEARANCE
The abatement work is complete when the Work Area is visually clean and airborne fiber levels have
been reduced to the level specified below.
To determine if the elevated airborne fiber counts encountered during abatement operations have been
reduced to the specified level, the Contractor will conduct a final visual inspection of the Work
Area for completeness of work and the presence of any visible debris following all abatement
per ASTM E1368-90, "Standard Practice for Visual Inspection of Asbestos Abatement
Projects."
Following the Contractor's successful visual inspection, the Contractor will secure air clearance
samples.
General: The number and volume of air samples taken, and analytical methods used will be in
accordance with the following schedule. Sample volumes given may vary depending upon the
analytical instruments used.
Samples will be collected in areas subject to normal air circulation away from room corners,
obstructed locations and sites near windows, doors or vents in areas coinciding with pre-
abatement sample locations.
For negative pressure enclosures, the HEPA machines must be left running during the
procedure.
In each Work Area after completion of all cleaning work, a minimum of one (1) sample and one lab
blank will be taken at a flow rate of 1 to 10 liters per minute to give a fiber density of between
100 to 1,300 fibers/mm2 on the filter and analyzed as follows:
Analysis: Fibers on each filter will be measured using the NIOSH 7400 procedures. At least
1200 liters of air will be collected.
Release Criteria: Decontamination of the Work Area is complete when every clearance sample
is equal to or less than 0.01 fibers/cc or less than pre-abatement levels, whichever is
lower. If any sample exceeds 0.01 fibers/cc, then the decontamination is incomplete
and re-cleaning is required.
The services of a testing laboratory will be employed by the Contractor to perform laboratory
analysis of the air samples. Verbal laboratory results will be available within eight (8)
hours of taking clearance samples. A complete record of all air monitoring tests and
inspections will be furnished to the Owner via the Contractor within 24 hours of sample
collection.
After acceptable clearance samples are received, the Contractor will provide the Owner with signed
visual clearance forms with air sampling results attached.
Upon receipt of signed visual clearance forms by the Owner, the Contractor shall apply a
lockdown type asbestos encapsulant to surfaces on which asbestos has been removed.
In cases when negative pressure enclosures have been used, maintain operation of
negative air system during the encapsulation process.
Mix ratio of encapsulant shall be per manufacturer's recommendations.
