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 10127/04 SC-49 PART D - SPECIAL CONDITIONS - contract or other law, ordinance, regulation or policy whose requirements are more stringent. B. ACP is defined under NESHAP as a Category 11, 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 I 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 i responsible to employ those means, methods, techniques and sequences to ensure this result. E. Compliance with all aspects of wormer 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.

No action is required on your part. Disclosure of Terrorism Premium go The premium charge for risk of loss resulting from acts of terrorism(as defined in the Act) under this bond is $—waived_. This amount is reflected in the total premium for this bond. Disclosure of Availability of Coverage for Terrorism Losses As required by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, we have made available to you coverage for losses resulting from acts of terrorism (as defined in the Act) with terms, arnounts, and limitations that do not differ ruatenally as those for losses arising from events other than acts of terrorism. Disclosure of Federal Share of Insurance Company's Terrorism Losses The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002 establishes a mechanism by which the United States government will r. share in insurance company losses resulting from acts of terrorism (as-defined in the.Act)after a insurance company has paid losses in excess of an annual aggregate deductible. For 2002,the insurance company deductible is 1%of direct earned premium in the prior year; for 2003, 7%of direct earned premium in the prior year; for 2004, 10%of direct earned premium in the prior year; and for 2005, 15%of direct earned premium in the prior year. The federal share of an insurance company's losses above its deductible is 90%. In the event the United States government participates in losses, the United States government may direct insurance companies to collect a terrorism surcharge from policyholders. The Act does not currently provide for insurance industry or United States government participation in terrorism losses that exceed $100 billion in any one calendar year. Definition of Act of Terrorism The Terrorism R-isk Insurance Act defines "act of terrorism" as any act that is certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the United States: 1. to be an act of terrorism; 2. to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life,property or infrastructure; 3. to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside of the United States in the case of an air carrier(as defined in section 40112 of title 49,United 17 States Code) or a United States flag vessel (or a vessel based principally in the United States,on which United States income tax is paid and whose 'in surance or coverage is subject to regulation in the United States), or the prcrmises of a United States mission; and 4. to have been committed by an individual or individuals acting on behalf of any foreign person or foreign interest as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion. But, no act shall be certified by the Secretary as an act of terrorism if the act is committed as part of the course of a war declared by Congress (except for workers' compensation) or property and casualty insurance losses resulting from the act, in the aggregate, do not exceed $5,000,000.
