Wetting procedures are not equally effective on all types of ACM but, shall none- theless be used in all cases. 3.6.3 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 may be required. The Contractor will have to acquire special permits, different from those mentioned herein from the NESHAP enforcement agency. 3.6.4 Saturated ACM shall be removed in manageable sections. Removed material should be containerized before moving to a new location for continuance of work. Surrounding areas shall be periodically sprayed and maintained in a wet condition until visible material is cleaned up. 3.6.5 Material removed from building structures or components shall not be dropped or thrown to the floor. Material should be removed as intact sections or components whenever possible and carefully lowered to the floor. If this cannot be done for materials greater than 50 feet above the floor, 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. For materials between 15 and 50 feet above the ground they may be containerized at elevated levels or dropped onto inclined chutes or scaffolding for subsequent collection and containerization. 3.6.6 Containers (6 mil polyethylene bags or drums) shall be sealed when full (wet material can be exceedingly heavy.) Bags shall not be over -filled and shall be securely sealed to prevent accidental opening and leakage by tying tops of bags in an overhand knot or taping in gooseneck fashion. 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 before being placed in clean drums and sealed with locking ring tops). 3.6.7 Large components removed intact may be wrapped in 2 layers of 6-mil polyethylene sheeting secured with tape, and appropriately labeled, for transport to the landfill. 3.6.8 Asbestos containing waste with sharp -edged components (e.g. nail, screws, metal lath, tin sheeting) will tear the polyethylene bags and sheeting and shall be placed in drums for disposal. The alternate use of fiber bags that are then double bagged in 6-mil asbestos bags may be used with the Consultant's written permission on a case by case basis. 3.6.9 After completion of all stripping work, surfaces from which ACM have been removed shall be wet brushed and sponged or cleaned by some equivalent method to remove all visible residues and all surfaces in the work area shall be wet wiped and HEPA vacuumed. *****END OF SECTION***** Toni L.
