3.13 EAGLE ENVIRONMENTAL, INC. RESONSIBILITY A. The owner has retained Eagle Environmental, Inc. to monitor this project including collecting air

sampling to ascertain the integrity of controls, which protect the building from asbestos contamination. Independently, the HMAC shall monitor air quality within the work area to ascertain the protection of employees and to comply with OSHA regulations. The Eagle Environmental, Inc. Asbestos Abatement Project Monitor shall collect and analyze air samples during three time periods:

1. Pre-Abatement Sampling Period: The Eagle Environmental, Inc Project Monitor will

collect a sufficient number of air samples, inside and outside the proposed work area locations, to establish background air quality conditions. At least one sample will be taken outside of the building.

2. Abatement Period: The Eagle Environmental, Inc Project Monitor will collect samples on a

daily basis during the work period. A sufficient number of area samples shall be taken outside of the work area, at the exhaust of the negative pressure system, and outside of the building to judge the degree of cleanliness or contamination of the building during removal. Additional samples may be taken inside the work area and decontamination enclosure system, at the discretion of the air sampling professional.


a. The Eagle Environmental, Inc Project Monitor will provide a continual evaluation of the air quality of the building during removal, using his/her best professional judgments in respect to the State Department of Public Health guideline of .010 fibers/cc and the background air quality established during the pre-abatement period. If the air sampling professional determines that the building air quality has become contaminated from the project, he/she shall immediately inform the Subcontractor to cease all removal operations and implement a work stoppage clean up procedure. The Abatement Subcontractor shall conduct a thorough cleanup of areas of the building designated by the Consultant. No further removal work can take place until the air sampling professional has assessed that the building air has been decontaminated. b. Pre-Abatement and abatement air samples shall be collected for a minimum period of ninety minutes at a minimum flow rate of 12 liters per minute, or as required to obtain a volume of 1,000 liters. Samples shall be analyzed by phase contrast microscopy (PCM) using the NIOSH 7400 protocol.

3. Post-Abatement Period: The Eagle Environmental, Inc Project Monitor shall conduct air sampling

following the final cleanup phase of the project, once the “no visible residue” criterion as established by the air sampling professional has been met. Five (5) samples shall be collected inside containment utilizing aggressive methods to comply with State of Connecticut DPH Standard for Asbestos Abatement sections 19a-332a-12, 19a-332a-13 and 19a-333-7(h). Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) shall conduct analysis of the samples to determine airborne concentrations of asbestos with a limit of 70 asbestos structures per Millimeter Square and by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) with a limit of 0.010 fibers per cubic centimeter of air in accordance with the above CT DPH regulations.

B. Inspections will be conducted by the Eagle Environmental, Inc Project Monitor throughout the

progress of the abatement project. Inspections shall be conducted in order to document the progress of the abatement work as well as the procedures and practices employed by the Abatement Subcontractor. The Eagle Environmental, Inc Project Monitor will perform the following inspections during the course of abatement activities.

1. Precommencement Inspection: Precommencement inspections shall be performed at the

time requested by the Abatement Subcontractor. The Abatement Consultant shall be informed 48 hours prior to the time the inspection is needed. During the course of the precommencement inspection, the Eagle Environmental, Inc Project Monitor shall inspect the containment. This shall include, but not be limited to, inspection of barrier integrity, the worker decontamination.

2. Work Area Inspections: Work area inspections shall be conducted on a daily basis at the

discretion of the Abatement Consultant. During the course of the work area inspections, the Eagle Environmental, Inc Project Monitor shall observe the Abatement Subcontractor removal procedures, verify barrier integrity, monitor negative air filtration devices, assess project progress, and inform the Abatement Subcontractor of specific remedial activities if deficiencies are noted.

3. Presealant Inspection: The Eagle Environmental, Inc Project Monitor, upon the request of

the Abatement Subcontractor, shall conduct a presealant inspection. The Project Monitor shall be informed 48 hours prior to the time that the inspection is needed. The presealant inspection shall be conducted after completion of the initial final cleaning procedures, but prior to encapsulation. The presealant inspection shall verify that all ACM and residual debris have been removed from the work area. If, during the course of the presealant inspection, the Project Monitor identifies residual dust or debris, the Abatement


Subcontractor shall comply with the request of the Project Monitor, in order to render the area “dust free”.

4. Final Visual Inspection: The Eagle Environmental, Inc Project Monitor, upon the request of

the Abatement Subcontractor, shall conduct a final visual inspection. Following the removal of the inner layer of polyethylene sheeting and prior to final air clearance, the Project Monitor shall conduct a final visual inspection inside the work area. If residual dust or debris is identified during the course of the final inspection, the Abatement Subcontractor shall comply with the request of the Project Monitor, in order to render the area “dust free”.
