3.4 AIR MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
A. The Contractor shall:
1. Provide air monitoring equipment including sample filter cassettes of the type
and quantity required to properly monitor operations and personnel exposure
surveillance throughout the duration of the project.
2. Conduct initial exposure monitoring to determine if any employee performing
construction tasks impacting lead paint may be exposed to lead at or above the
OSHA Action Level of 30 micrograms per cubic meter. Monitoring shall
continue as specified in the OSHA standard until a negative exposure assessment
is developed.
3. Conduct personnel exposure assessment air sampling, as necessary, to assure that
workers are using appropriate respiratory protection in accordance with OSHA
Standard 1926.62. Documentation of air sampling results must be recorded at the
work site within twenty-four (24) hours and shall be available for review until the
job is complete.
B. The Project Monitor will:
1. Collect air samples in accordance with the current revision of the NIOSH 7082 or
7702 Method of Air Sampling for Airborne Lead while overseeing the activities
of the Contractor. Frequency and duration of the air sampling during abatement
will be representative of the actual conditions at the site. The size and
configuration of the project will be a factor in the number of samples required to
monitor the activities and shall be determined by the Project Monitor.
C. As determined by AAS, XRF, or equivalent analysis, if air samples collected outside of
the Regulated Area during abatement activities indicate airborne lead concentrations
greater than original background levels or greater than 30 ug/m3, whichever is larger, an

paint chips and associated items.
B. During clean up the Contractor shall utilize rags and sponges wetted with lead-specific
detergent and water as well as HEPA filtered vacuum equipment.
C. The Project Monitor will conduct a visual inspection of the work areas in order to
document that all surfaces have been maintained as free as practicable of accumulations
of lead in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62(h). If visible accumulations of waste,
debris, lead paint chips or dust are found in the work area, the Contractor shall repeat the
cleaning, at the Contractor's expense, until the area is in compliance. The visual
inspection will detect incomplete work, damage caused by the activity, and inadequate
clean up of the work site.
D. OSHA lead regulations do not call for dust wipe clearance testing. However, OSHA may
request, under OSHA housekeeping regulations, dust wipe clearance testing. If lead dust
wipe levels are above OSHA clearance criteria, the Contractor shall re-clean the work
area and retesting shall be conducted at the Contractors expense. The testing and
cleaning sequence shall be repeated until the clearance criteria levels have been achieved.
3.6 POST ABATEMENT WORK AREA DEREGULATION
A. Following the visual inspection, (and clearance testing if appropriate,) any Project
Monitoring controls implemented may be removed and the Work Area deregulated.
B. A final visual inspection of the work area shall be conducted by the Competent Person
and the Project Monitor to ensure that all visible accumulations of suspect materials have
been removed and that no equipment or materials associated with the abatement project
remain.
C. The Contractor shall restore all work areas and auxiliary areas utilized during work to
conditions equal to or better than original. Any damage caused during the performance
of the work activity shall be repaired by the Contractor at no additional expense to the
Town.
3.7 NON-HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL/RECYCLING
A. Non-metallic building debris waste materials tested and found to be non-hazardous
Construction and Demolition (C&D) bulky waste shall be disposed of properly at a
CTDEP approved Solid Waste landfill.

B. Metallic debris shall be segregated and recycled as scrap metal at an approved metal
recycling facility. The Contractor shall submit to the Project Monitor all documentation
necessary to demonstrate the selected recycling facility is able to accept lead-painted
scrap metal.
C. Concrete, brick, etc. coated with any amount of lead paint cannot be crushed, recycled or
buried on-site to minimize waste disposal. Only CTDEP defined “clean fill” can be
recycled on-site or sent to a recycling facility.
3.11 HAZARDOUS LEAD WASTE DISPOSAL
A. If required to dispose of any hazardous waste, the Contractor shall utilize a
certified/permitted transporter for hazardous waste in compliance with DOT 49 CFR Part
172 and USEPA 40 CFR 260-274 and a permitted hazardous waste treatment storage
disposal facility (TSDF) in compliance with USEPA 40 CFR 260-274.
B. Hazardous lead bearing material must be offered for transportation and transported in
compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 49, Chapter 1, Part 173, Subparts
