APPROVAL OF PREPARATION WORK

After each asbestos removal Work Area or Regulated Area has been prepared as
specified above, the Contractor shall request a formal site inspection by the Engineer.

ASBESTOS REMOVAL UNDER GENERAL CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES

This Subsection provides a description of the generally employed procedures for the
removal of Asbestos-Containing Materials where conducted inside of a Work Area
which has been isolated and protected with polyethylene coverings, and has a HEPA-
exhaust system and a Decontamination Facility.

Amended Water (wetting agent), mixed and carefully applied using an airless sprayer as
specified by the manufacturer, shall continuously be used to control the release of
asbestos fibers from the ACM material prior to and during removal. The amended water
shall be applied in sufficient quantity to fully penetrate and saturate friable materials
before removal begins. Where necessary, wetting shall commence up to 24 hours before
removal Work to ensure effectiveness.

Removal Sequence:

1. No asbestos removal Work shall begin until the Work Area has been prepared as
required in Subsections 3.01 through 3.04 of this Section.

2. Small test patches of Asbestos-Containing Material shall be wetted, and then
removed and examined to determine degree of saturation prior to removing the
bulk of the material. With prior acknowledgment the Contractor may use removal
encapsulant instead of amended water applied per manufacturer’s and federal
guidelines.
