Large scale manual or power sanding/grinding of lead containing surfaces should never be allowed in family housing, child care facilities, administrative buildings, galleys, barracks, etc., due to problems associated with the resulting dust fallout/contamination of crevices and cracks which may retain unseen quantities of lead-contaminated dust. Use of these techniques for exteriors should be limited because the resulting airborne dust could result in significant contamination of the ground in the immediate vicinity of the facility. Manual or power sanding/grinding of lead containing surfaces may be an acceptable work method only if appropriate engineering controls for personnel/environmental protection are in place. NOTE: For commercial/public buildings and industrial buildings, the designer will have to ascertain appropriate procedures, methods and techniques to control lead hazards. The use of enclosure or soil barriers as a control system requires the input of engineering/ architectural experts familiar with these controls. Add additional paragraphs to address unique local or state requirements. [Manual or power sanding or grinding of lead surfaces or materials is not permitted unless tools are equipped with HEPA attachments or wet methods. The dry sanding or grinding of surfaces that contain lead is prohibited.] Provide methodology for removing lead in the Lead Compliance Plan. Select lead removal processes to minimize contamination of work areas outside the control area with lead-contaminated dust or other lead-contaminated debris or waste and to ensure that unprotected personnel are not exposed to hazardous concentrations of lead.

In addition, collect air samples on at least twenty-five percent of the work crew or a minimum of two employees, whichever is greater, during each work shift. c. Submit results of air samples, signed by the CP, within 72 hours after the air samples are taken. d. Conduct area air sampling daily, on each shift in which lead-based paint removal operations are performed, in areas immediately adjacent to the lead control area. Sufficient area monitoring shall be conducted to ensure unprotected personnel are not exposed at or above 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air. If 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air is reached or exceeded, stop work, correct the conditions(s) causing the increased levels. Notify the Contracting Officer immediately. Determine if condition(s) require any further change in work methods. Removal work shall resume only after the CP and the Contracting Officer give approval. NOTE: Include the following paragraph for high profile, sensitive work such as present in family housing, child care facilities, administrative buildings, kitchens, barracks, etc. Use the following paragraph along with clearance certification by a third party consultant specified in paragraph entitled "Clearance Certification" to determine if significant contamination was due to the contract work. Surface dust sampling to determine clearance (i.e., that the work has not contaminated surfaces within and adjacent to the control area) should be performed by a third party to reduce a conflict of interest. Samples must be conducted by an individual not paid or employed or otherwise compensated by the lead Contractor. State or local regulations may require third party. [e. Before any work begins, [a third party consultant shall] collect and analyze baseline wipe [and soil] samples in accordance with methods defined by federal, State, and local standards inside and outside of the physical boundary to assess the degree of dust contamination in the facility prior to lead disturbance or removal.] NOTE: Lead hazard control area containment adequacy should be checked by surface wipe sampling of floors in all buildings that are or will be occupied. The exceptions being buildings to be demolished or industrial buildings. [f. Surface Wipe Samples - Collect surface wipe samples on floors at a location no greater than 3 m 10 feet outside the lead control area at a frequency of once per day while lead removal work is conducted in occupied buildings. Surface wipe results shall meet criteria in paragraph "Clearance Certification.] 3.4.1.2 Sampling After Removal After the visual inspection, [conduct soil sampling if bare soil is present during external removal operations and] collect wipe [and soil] samples according to the HUD protocol contained in HUD 6780 to determine the lead content of settled dust in micrograms per square meter foot of surface area [and parts per million (ppm) or micrograms per gram (ug/g) for soil]. [3.4.1.3 Testing of Material Containing Lead Residue NOTE: Include this paragraph when the residue is questionable with respect to its lead content, otherwise delete. Test residue in accordance with 40 CFR 261 for hazardous waste. ]3.5 CLEANING AND DISPOSAL 3.5.1 Cleanup Maintain surfaces of the lead control area free of accumulations of dust and debris. Restrict the spread of dust and debris; keep waste from being distributed over the work area. Do not dry sweep or use pressurized air to clean up the area. At the end of each shift and when the lead operation has been completed, clean the controlled area of visible contamination by vacuuming with a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner, wet mopping the area and wet wiping the area as indicated by the Lead Compliance Plan. Reclean areas showing dust or debris. After visible dust and debris is removed, wet wipe and HEPA vacuum all surfaces in the controlled area. If adjacent areas become contaminated at any time during the work, clean, visually inspect, and then wipe sample all contaminated areas. The CP shall then certify in writing that the area has been cleaned of lead contamination before clearance testing. 3.5.1.1 _{Clearance Certification} NOTE: The second paragraph must be used for high profile, sensitive work such as present in family housing, child care facilities, kitchens, etc. For work in administrative buildings or the conversion of industrial lead work areas (e.g., firing ranges) into non-industrial work areas open for public access, use the third paragraph otherwise delete. For industrial buildings, use visual clearance only. Surface dust sampling to determine clearance (i.e., that the work has not contaminated surfaces within and adjacent to the control area) should be performed by a third party to reduce a conflict of interest. The CP shall certify in writing that air samples collected outside the lead control area during paint removal operations are less than 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air; the respiratory protection used for the employees was adequate; the work procedures were performed in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62; and that there were no visible accumulations of material and dust containing lead left in the work site. Do not remove the lead control area or roped off boundary and warning signs prior to the Contracting Officer's acknowledgement of receipt of the CP certification. [The third party consultant shall certify surface wipe sample results collected inside and outside the work area are [less than 40 micrograms per 0.1 square meter square foot on floors, less than 250 micrograms per 0.1 square meter square foot on interior window sills and less than 400 micrograms per 0.1 square meter square foot on window troughs] [not significantly greater than the initial surface loading determined prior to work].] [The third party consultant shall certify surface wipe sample results collected inside and outside the work area are less than 200 micrograms per 0.1 square meter square foot on floors or horizontal surfaces.] [Certify surface wipe samples are not significantly greater than the initial surface loading determined prior to work.] [Clear the lead control area in industrial facilities of all visible dust and debris.] [For exterior work, soil samples taken at the exterior of the work site shall be used to determine if soil lead levels had increased at a statistically significant level (significant at the 95 percent confidence limit) from the soil lead levels prior to the operation. If soil lead levels either show a statistically significant increase above soil lead levels prior to work or soil lead levels above any applicable federal or state standard for lead in soil, the soil shall be remediated.] 3.5.2 Disposal NOTE: Notify the activity that Federal regulations (40 CFR 260-265) require a USEPA generator identification number for use on the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest prior to commencement of removal work. A USEPA generator identification number will not be required if it is certain that the work will not generate HW. NOTE: Research State, regional, and local laws, regulations, and statutes and revise the specifications accordingly. Proper segregation and handling of waste can significantly reduce the generated volume (and cost) of disposing hazardous wastes. NOTE: Research State, regional, and local requirements regarding the recycling of lead wastes. Ensure that other hazardous components are not present. The entire waste stream or discreet portions of the waste may be appropriately packaged and transported for recycling (Consider Section 01572 CONSTRUCTION WASTE MANAGEMENT). If waste is eligible for sanitary landfill or C&D landfill disposal, some of these requirements are not applicable. a. All material, whether hazardous or non-hazardous shall be disposed in accordance with all laws and provisions and all federal, State or local regulations. Ensure all waste is properly characterized. The result of each waste characterization (TCLP for RCRA materials) will dictate disposal requirements. b. Contractor is responsible for segregation of waste. Collect lead-contaminated waste, scrap, debris, bags, containers, equipment, and lead-contaminated clothing that may produce airborne concentrations of lead particles. Label the containers in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62 and 40 CFR 261. c. Dispose of lead-contaminated material classified as hazardous waste at an [EPA] [or] [State] approved hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility off Government property. d. Store waste materials in U.S. Department of Transportation (49 CFR 178) approved 208 liter 55 gallon drums. Properly label each drum to identify the type of waste (49 CFR 172) and the date the drum was filled. For hazardous waste, the collection drum requires marking/labeling in accordance with 40 CFR 262 during the accumulation/collection timeframe. The Contracting Officer or an authorized representative will assign an area for interim storage of waste-containing drums. Do not store hazardous waste drums in interim storage longer than 90 calendar days from the date affixed to each drum. e. Handle, store, transport, and dispose lead or lead-contaminated waste in accordance with 40 CFR 260 , 40 CFR 261, 40 CFR 262, 40 CFR 263, 40 CFR 264, and 40 CFR 265. Comply with land disposal restriction notification requirements as required by 40 CFR 268. 3.5.2.1 Disposal Documentation NOTE: Include the following paragraph if the Contractor is to dispose of waste. Submit _{written evidence} to demonstrate the hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility (TSD) is approved for lead disposal by the EPA, State or local regulatory agencies. Submit one copy of the completed _{hazardous waste manifest}, signed and dated by the initial transporter in accordance with 40 CFR 262. Contractor shall provide a certificate that the waste was accepted by the disposal facility. [Provide _{turn-in documents or weight tickets} for non-hazardous waste disposal.] 3.5.2.2 Payment for Hazardous Waste Payment for disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste will not be made until a signed copy of the manifest from the treatment or disposal facility certifying the amount of lead-containing materials or non-hazardous waste delivered is returned and a copy is furnished to the Government.
