10. Each abatement team shall be equipped with appropriate tools, rags, a
portable supply of amended water, and a HEPA vacuum. After the ACM
caulking material is adequately wetted, it shall be stripped using hand
tools, with the ACM caulking material being directly bagged or dropped
into a flexible catch basin and promptly bagged. The stripped joints
shall then be HEPA vacuumed, and then wet-wiped, to remove any loose
debris still in place. All exposed joints shall be coated with a
transparent encapsulant.
11. Upon completion of the stripping at a location and before moving to the
next, the surfaces of the immediate work area shall be rendered free of
visible debris. Next, the plastic covering of the platform shall be
careful'2.y cleaned and secured, at the next work area. New plastic
sheeting shall be applied only as needed.
12. If visible emissions are noted or if the asbestos-in-air concentrations
within the building exceed 0.01 f/cc or the measured background level, all
work shall stop. Abatement procedures shall be reevaluated. Work shall
not resume until NYCDEP is notified.
