0 0 ASBESTOS -CONTAINING WASTE MATERIALS CONTROL AND WORK PLAN FORWARD LANDFILL EXCAVATION OF ASBESTOS -CONTAINING DEBRIS LIBBEY-OWENS-FORD CO. INTRODUCTION Libbey-Owens-Ford Co. plans to excavate an estimated 240 cubic yards of asbestos - containing debris and associated fill soils to gain access to "grey" glass batch material inadvertently sent for disposal at the Forward Landfill. The total size of the excavation is estimated to be about 20 x 40 feet by ten feet deep. The waste is located in an active disposal "cell'. Access to the work area will be restricted. Appropriate control measures will be implemented to control emissions during excavation and handling of waste materials. ASBESTOS CONTAINMENT Enclosure of the excavation will be designed to meet the "no visible emissions" requirement and to limit possible exposure to personnel not involved in the excavation. The enclosure will consist of a rugged plastic barrier (blue reinforced construction tarps) on four sides and as a roof. The enclosure will prevent disturbance by wind and provide a high degree of fugitive emission control during the ACM excavation and handling activities. Access to the inside of the enclosure will be restricted to personnel directly involved in the project and wearing the appropriated personal protective equipment (see below). The enclosure is considered a regulated area for the purposes of the Cal/OSHA asbestos standard. A single chamber will be provided for changing into and out of protective gear. This chamber will be considered a clean room and will be maintained as such. Alternatively, the chamber may be part of the shower setup and not directly connected to the enclosure. The employees will remove one protective suit before leaving the enclosure (see below). To allow ease of moving equipment in and out of the enclosure, the walls of the enclosure may be arranged to allow sections to be raised or pushed aside. Regardless of how the access doors are constructed, they will be constructed for gravity closure. Door and openings in the enclosure will remain closed except when in use. Before doors are opened, personnel stationed outside will confirm that personnel not associated with the project and not appropriately protected are not in the area.
