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, regulat ion 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 respons ible 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.

Perform the boring from the low or downstream end unless specified otherwise . Bore the holes mechanically and use a pilot hole. By this method, an approximate 2" pilot hole shall be bored the entire length of the crossing and shall be checked for line and grade . This pilot hole shall serve as the centerline of the larger diameter hole to be bored. Place excavated material near the top of the working pit and dispose of material as required. The use of water or other fluids in connection with the boring operation will be permitted only to the extent to lubricate cuttings. Jetting shall not be permitted. In unconsolidated soil formations , a gel-forming colloidal drilling fluid consisting of at least 10% of high grade carefully processed bentonite may be used to consolidate cuttings of the bit, seal the walls of the hole, and furnish lubrication for subsequent removal of cuttings and installation of the pipe immediately thereafter. In locations where the soil formation is other than consolidated rock, insert the casing pipe simultaneously with the boring operation. This requirement applies to all bored holes of 18" or greater in diameter. For smaller diameter bored holes, it is desirable that the casing be installed as the boring progresses, but because of differences in soil formations, the time for inserting the casing shall be the Contractor's responsibility . In the event that caving sand or water bearing materials are encountered, insert the casing pipe simultaneously with the boring operation regardless of the diameter of the bored hole. In all cases, the security and integrity of the ASC -30 PART DA -ADDITIONAL SPECIAL CONDITIONS roadway is the primary concern. The Contractor shall be held fully responsible for the continued integrity of the structure of the roadway being crossed, whether or not a casing pipe is inserted simultaneously with the boring operation. 4 . CROSSINGS INSTALLED BY TUNNELING AND JACKING a. Jack the pipe from the low or downstream end, unless specified otherwise. Provide heavy duty jacks suitable for forcing the pipe through the embankment. In operating jacks , apply even pressure to the jacks used . Provide a suitable jacking head and bracing between jacks so that pressure will be applied to the pipe uniformly around the ring of the pipe. Provide a suitable jacking frame or back stop. Set the pipe to be jacked on guides, properly braced together, to support the section of the pipe and to direct it in the proper line and grade . Place the whole jacking assembly so as to line up with the direction and grade of the pipe . In general , excavate embankment material just ahead of the pipe and material removed through the pipe. Force the pipe through the embankment with jacks into the space provided . b. The excavation for the underside of the pipe, for at least 1/3 of the circumference of the pipe, shall conform to the contour and grade of the pipe . Provide a clearance of not more than 2" for the upper half of the pipe . This clearance shall be tapered off to zero at the point where the excavation conforms to the contour of the pipe. Extend the distance of the excavation beyond the end of the pipe depending on the character of the material, but do not exceed 2' in any case. Decrease the distance if the character of the material being excavated makes it desirable to keep the advance excavation closer to the end of the pipe. c. If desired, use a cutting edge of steel plate around the head end of the pipe extending a short distance beyond the end of the pipe with inside angles or lugs to keep the cutting edge from slipping back onto pipe . d . When jacking of pipe has begun, carry on the operation without interruption to prevent the pipe from becoming firmly set in the embankment. Remove and replace any pipe damaged in the jacking operations . The Contractor shall absorb the entire expense . 5 ,:. ,~ CRO-$SINGS lf')fSTAU:.ED WITHTUNNEL LiNER PLATE"-NofUsed 6.
