visual inspection will detect incomplete work, damage caused by the abatement activity,

and inadequate clean-up of the work site. At the conclusion of the final visual inspection,

the Somers’ Permanent Building Committee's Project Monitor and the Contractor's

supervisor shall certify that they have visually inspected the work area and have found no

dust, debris or residue.

D. Once the area has been re-cleaned, any equipment, tools or materials not required for

completion of the work, shall be removed from the Work Area. Negative air filtration

devices shall remain in place and operating for the remainder of the clean-up operation.

E. Apply a lock-down encapsulant to all surfaces within the Work Area from which asbestos

has been removed and the cleaned inner layer of polyethylene in the clean room.

F. Air sampling for re-occupancy clearance shall be undertaken using aggressive sampling

techniques. Analysis of clearance samples shall follow State of Connecticut Regulations,

Section 19a-333-7-(h). Areas which do not comply shall continue to be cleaned by and at

the Contractors expense, until the specified Standard of Cleaning is achieved as

evidenced by results of air testing. When the Work Area passes the re-occupancy

clearance, controls established by this specification may be removed.

G. Remove all remaining polyethylene, including critical barriers, and Decontamination

Enclosure Systems leaving negative air filtration devices in operation. HEPA vacuum

and/or wet wipe any visible residue which is uncovered during this process. Dispose of

poly as asbestos waste.

Equal to or less than

160 s.f./260 l.f. PCM PCM PCM

Tent and Glovebag

Procedures PCM PCM PCM

B. Frequency and duration of the air sampling during abatement will be representative of the

actual conditions during the abatement. The size of the asbestos project will be a factor

in the number of samples required to monitor the abatement activities. In addition to

OSHA compliance monitoring (personal sampling accomplished by the Contractor) the

following minimum schedule of samples will be required:

1. Background Samples:

a. Outside of Work Area - 2.

b. Work Area - 3 or if areas are separated (such as rooms) at least one (1)

sample per area equaling a minimum of three (3).

2. During Abatement:

whichever is greater.

C. Post-abatement clearance air monitoring requirements are as follows:

1. Air sampling will not begin until at least 12 hours after wet cleaning has been

completed and no visible water or condensation remain.






02 82 00-28

2. Sampling equipment will be placed at random around the Work Area.

3. The representative samplers placed outside the Work Area but within the

building will be located to avoid any air that might escape through the isolation

barriers and will be approximately 50 feet from the entrance to the Work Area,

and 25 feet from the isolation barriers.

4. The following aggressive air sampling procedures will be used within the Work

Area during all air clearance monitoring:

a. Before starting the sampling pumps, direct the exhaust from forced air

equipment (such as a 1 horsepower leaf blower) against all walls, ceilings,

floors, ledges and other surfaces in the Work Area. This should take at least

5 minutes per 1000 SF of floor area.

b. Place a 20-inch fan in the center of the room. (Use one fan per 10,000 cubic

feet of room space.) Place the fan on slow speed and point it toward the

ceiling.

c. Start the sampling pumps and sample for the required time.

d. Turn off the pump and then the fan(s) when sampling is complete.

5. Air volumes taken for clearance sampling shall be sufficient to accurately

determine (to a 95 percent probability) fiber concentrations to 0.010 f/cc of air.

6. Each homogeneous Work Area, which does not meet the clearance criteria, shall

be thoroughly re-cleaned using HEPA vacuuming and/or wet cleaning, with the

negative pressure ventilation system in operation. New samples shall be

collected in the Work Area as described above. The process shall be repeated

until the Work Area passes the test, with the cost of repeat sampling being borne

entirely by the Contractor.

7. For an asbestos abatement project with more than one homogeneous Work Area,

the release criterion shall be applied independently to each Work Area.

3.11 ACTION CRITERIA

A. If air samples collected outside of the Work Area during abatement activities indicate

airborne fiber concentrations greater than original background levels or greater than

0.050 f/cc, as determined by Phase Contrast Microscopy, whichever is larger, an

examination of the Work Area perimeter shall be conducted and the integrity of barriers

shall be restored. Cleanup of surfaces outside the Work Area using HEPA vacuum

equipment or wet cleaning techniques shall be done prior to resuming abatement

activities.
