Breaks in the enclosure will be allowed at ceiling level (about eight feet) for ventilation purposes. These openings may be narrowed if additional dust control management is determined to be necessary. WORK PROCEDURES Work procedures will comply with all applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations, and laws governing the handling of asbestos -containing materials. All ACM to be excavated will be handled wet. Intact poly bags will be HEPA vacuumed prior to transport for disposal and ruptured bags will be rebagged prior to transport for disposal. All debris that may have spilled as a result of ruptured bags will be HEPA vacuumed and bagged for disposal using two 6 -mil poly bags with required labels. All excavated bags will be disposed of within the same disposal site and will be handled in full compliance with the law. The "grey" glass batch material was originally disposed of in "Rhino" reinforced container bags. We expect that the bags will be excavated generally intact, but that some tearing may have occurred. Intact original disposal bags will not be opened. Torn bags will be carefully repackaged into poly -lined fiber drums. Uncontained "grey" glass batch waste materials will be vacuumed and packaged into the fiber drums. The excavation will be judged to be complete when it is visually free of "grey" glass batch material. Transportation off-site will be arranged through a licensed hazardous waste transporter. After the waste is properly characterized, LOF will arrange for disposal at an appropriately licensed facility. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT All personnel entering the enclosure will wear two full-body Tyvek (or equivalent) coveralls, the outer layer of which will be disposed of upon exiting, steel -toed rubber boots, gloves, and at least half -mask respirators equipped with HEPA cartridges. DECONTAMINATION A shower will be provided adjacent to the work area for personnel decontamination. In general, showering will be required at the end of each workshift or when an employee must leave the immediate work area. The shower requirements may be increased if working conditions and associated dust and personal contact with wastes indicate a need. Employees will remove one protective suit when leaving the work area and proceed to the shower before changing into street clothes. Water for drinking and washing will be provided at the work site. If remote toilets are used, personnel will be required to shower before proceeding out of the area. Toilets placed adjacent to the work area will be cleaned daily of potentially asbestos -containing wastes.
