ERI Consulting, Inc. <br /> <br /> SPECIAL CONDITIONS <br /> <br /> ARTICLE I. DEFINITIONS <br /> <br /> 1.1 The Technical Specifications in this project involves the abatement of <br /> exposure to asbestos hazards from building structures and components. The <br /> definition of the terms associated with a project of this tYlOe are listed <br /> hereafter. <br /> <br /> 1.1.1 Abatement Procedures to control fiber release from asbestos- <br /> containing materials. Includes removal, encapsulation, enclosure, <br /> repair, demolition and renovation activities. <br /> <br /> 1.1.2 Act - The Texas Asbestos Health Protection Act, Texas Civil Statutes, <br /> Article 4477-3a, as amended. <br /> <br /> 1.1.3 ACGIH - American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists, <br /> 6500 Glenway Avenue, Building D-5, Cincinnati, Ohio 45211. <br /> <br /> 1.1.4 Aggressive method - removal or disturbance of building material by <br /> sanding, abrading, grinding or other method that breaks, crumbles, or <br /> disintegrates intact ACM. <br /> <br /> 1.1.5 AHERA - Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986, Public Law 99- <br /> 519. The act amends the Federal Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 <br /> United States Code, '2641, et seq., by requiring an inspection of all <br /> school buildings (Grades K-12), all school administrations to develop <br /> plans for controlling asbestos in or removing asbestos from school <br /> buildings, and providing penalties for non-compliance. <br /> <br /> 1.1.6 AIHA - American Industrial Hygiene Association, 475 Wolf Ledges <br /> Parkway, Akron, Ohio 44311. <br /> <br /> 1.1.7 Airlock - A system for permitting ingress and egress with minimum air <br /> movement between a contaminated area and an uncontaminated area, <br /> typically consisting of two curtained doorways separated by a distance <br /> of at least three feet, such that one passes through one doorway into <br /> the airlock, allowing the doorway sheeting to overlap and close off <br /> the opening before proceeding through the second doorway, thereby <br /> preventing flow-through contamination. <br /> <br /> 1.1.8 Air monitoring - The process of measuring the fiber content of a known <br /> volume of air collected during a specific period of time. The <br /> procedure normally utilized for asbestos follows the NIOSH Standard <br /> Analytical Method for Asbestos in Air, Method 7400. For clearance air <br /> monitoring, electron microscopy methods may be utilized for a lower <br /> detectable and specific fiber identification. <br /> <br />, 4/3.~./o3 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
