It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth to comply with the requirements of the Asbestos National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) found at 40 CFR Part 61 , Subpart M . This specification will establish procedures to be used by all Excavators in the removal and disposal of asbestos cement pipe (ACP) in compliance with NESHAP . Nothing in this specification shall be construed to void any provision of a contract or other law, ordinance , regulation or policy whose requirements are more stringent. B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category II, non-friable material in its intact state but which may become friable upon removal, demolition and/or disposal. Consequently , if the removal/ disposal process renders the ACP friable , it is regulated under the disposal requirements of 40 CFR 61 .150. A NESHAP notification must be filed with the Texas Department of Health . The notification must be filed at least ten days prior to removal of the material. If it remains in its non -friable state , as defined by the NESHAP, it can be disposed as a conventional construction waste . The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines friable as material , when dry, which may be crumbled , pulverized ·or reduced to powder by hand pressures . C . The Generator of the hazardous material is responsible for the identification and proper handling , transportation, and disposal of the material. Therefore, it is the policy of the City of Fort Worth that the Excavator is the Generator regardless of whether the pipe is friable or not. D. It is the intent of the City of Fort Worth that all ACP shall be removed in such careful and prudent manner that it remains intact and does not become friable . The Excavator is responsible to employ those means , methods , techniques and sequences to ensure this result. · E. Compliance with all aspects of worker safety and health regulations including but not limited to the OSHA Asbestos Standard is the responsibility of the Excavator. The City of Fort Worth assumes no responsibility for compliance programs , which are the responsibility of the Excavator. (Copy of forms attached) F. The removal and disposal of ACP shall be subsidiary to the cost of installing the new pipe unless otherwise stated or indicated on the project plans or contract documents . 0-68 STORM WATER POLLUTION PREVENTION (FOR DISTURBED AREAS GREATER THAN 1 ACRE) PERMIT : As defined by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations, a Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) General Construction Permit is required for all construction activities that result in the disturbance of one to five acres (Small Construction Activity) or five or more acres of total land (Large Construction Activity).
