time limit specified in the Agreement, the Contractor shall pay the RDA, or the RDA may deduct from the
compensation otherwise due to be paid the Contractor for this work liquidated damages in the amount shown in

dust or debris from passing beyond the isolated area.
Carry out work of this section sequentially. Complete each activity before proceeding to the
next. The sequence of work required to install the barriers includes:
A. Install critical barriers to isolate remainder of the building from floor to
the ceiling deck –Ensure that the seal is capable of withstanding negative
pressure and a moist environment. Individually seal all ventilation openings
(supply and exhaust), doorways, windows, floor drains, electrical trench
ducts, electric service flooring penetrations and other openings into the
work area with two layers of polyethylene sheeting at least 6 mil in
thickness, taped securely in place with duct tape.
B.
Containment floor – Floors in the drywall/drywall joint compound removal
areas in Building 1 shall be lined with two layers of plastic sheeting having a
thickness of at least 6-mil. The floor containment is designed to help prevent
leaks to the floor below.
C.
Containment walls – Containment walls of 6-mil polyethylene plastic
sheeting will be placed on the exterior (outside) walls enclosing the
drywall/drywall joint compound removal areas in Building 1. These areas
would be placed under HEPA-filtered positive pressure for the duration of
the work.

B. Spray walls in the work areas with a fine mist of amended water. Allow time
for amended water to saturate materials to substrate. Do not over-saturate
to cause excess dripping. Remove the interior drywall sheathing in
manageable quantities and control the descent to floor below. The perimeter
outside wall and the outside poly sheeting barrier is to remain. As the
interior drywall walls are removed, place the material in sealable properly
labeled plastic bags of 6-mil minimum thickness or wrap in 6-mil minimum
thickness plastic sheeting with proper labeling and place in labeled
containers for transport. Spray mist surface continuously during removal
process. Remove residue and debris from remaining wall framing system
and other surfaces within the work areas. If substrate dries before complete
removal of residue, rewet with amended water.
May 2014

C. After removal of ACM, all surfaces shall be wet-cleaned to remove residual
accumulated material. Continue wet cleaning until surface is free of visible
material.
5.9.3 Removal Procedures for Floor Tile, Floor Tile Mastic and Floor
Leveling Compound (Buildings 1, 2 and 3)
A. Prepare work areas as previously specified.
B. Carpeting located above asbestos-containing flooring materials will be cut
into manageable strips, and where identified asbestos flooring materials are
not attached to the carpeting, can be removed and disposed of as regular
construction debris
C. Spray areas of flooring to be removed with amended water, using airless
spray equipment recommended by surfactant manufacturer capable of
providing a “mist” application to reduce the release of fibers. Wet the
material sufficiently to saturate it to the substrate without excessive
dripping. Spray the asbestos material repeatedly during removal to
maintain wet condition, but do not use excessive amounts of water.
D. Remove the saturated asbestos material in small sections. Do not allow

5.9.7 Removal Procedures for Roofing Materials - Bid Alternate (Buildings
1, 2 and 3)
In order to ensure that the Category I asbestos containing material does not become
regulated material the use of rotating blade roof cutters or equipment that sand, grind, cut
or abrade the roof material will be strictly prohibited. Removal will be accomplished by
the use of manual methods aided by axes, hatchets, knives, spud bars, pry bars, and/or
shovels. These methods slice, shear, and/or punch which does not constitute “cutting,
sanding, grinding or abrading”. Because these methods do not destroy the structural
matrix or integrity of the material such that the material is crumbled, pulverized or
reduced to powder the material is not subject to the NESHAP regulation.
May 2014
5-20
If power roof cutters are used then the ACM must be wet and the dust collected must be
either HEPA vacuumed along the cut line or by gently sweeping and then carefully and
completely wiping up the still-wet dust and debris left along the cut line.
A. Spray ACM with a fine mist of amended water. Allow time for amended
water to saturate materials to substrate. Do not over-saturate to cause
excess dripping. Remove materials in manageable quantities and control
the descent of the materials as it is lowered to staging area or ground below.
Spray mist surface continuously during removal process. Place the material
in sealable properly labeled plastic bags of 6-mil minimum thickness or
wrap in 6-mil minimum thickness plastic sheeting with proper labeling and
place in labeled containers for transport
B. After removal of the roofing materials, all surfaces shall be cleaned to
remove residual accumulated material and debris in the work area.
Continue cleaning until surface is free of visible material.
5.10 Visual Inspection
The visual inspection will be completed by the EC in accordance with ASTM E 1368-99,
Standard Practice for Visual Inspections of Asbestos Abatement Projects. The visual
inspection includes: a physical examination of the regulated area, touching the surfaces
that the ACM was removed from, inspecting all areas for residue and debris, and using
rags or filter cassettes to perform wipe tests. If debris or residue is found during the
visual inspection, recleaning and reinspection are mandatory. The EC will document the
final visual inspection on the Certification of Visual Inspection form and will require the
signature of the AC Supervisor.
5.11 Encapsulation Procedures
5.11.1 Lock-Down
After passing the visual inspection, a post-removal (lock-down) encapsulant shall be
spray-applied by the AC to ceiling, walls, floors, and other areas exposed in the removal
area. The exposed area shall include, but not be limited to, plastic barriers, exposed
drywall, concrete slabs, articles to be discarded, as well as dirty change room, air locks
for bag removal, and decontamination chambers.

5.12 Air Monitoring
5.12.1 AC OSHA Monitoring
The AC shall be responsible for collecting daily OSHA air samples. These samples shall
be collected from the worker’s breathing zone, which is 6” to 8” from the respirator. The
sample cassette shall be secured to the collar or lapel of the employee during the
monitoring activity. Samples will be collected for both the 8-hour time weighted average
(TWA) and the 30-minute excursion limit (EL) following the best available method,
including proper calibration and collection of minimum acceptable volumes.
Samples will initially be collected from a representative number of employees, at a
minimum rate of 25 percent (1 out of 4). Once a sufficient number of samples have been
collected during the project that successfully demonstrate the effectiveness of the AC’s
engineering controls during specific work tasks, the frequency and rate of the personnel
monitoring may be decreased at the decision of the EC’s Certified Industrial Hygienist
(CIH) for this project.
The AC shall be responsible for posting the results of the daily OSHA air samples at the
beginning of each shift for the previous day worked on that shift. The AC shall also be
responsible for maintaining, calibrating, and operating the sampling equipment used for
personnel monitoring. The laboratory performing the analysis of the AC OSHA
monitoring samples shall have NIOSH 582 and AHERA supervisor certifications.
Samples shall be analyzed following EPA Method 7400.
5.12.2 During Removal
The EC will develop a statistically valid PCM sampling criteria. The criteria will include
gathering samples in specific locations during specific work activities to obtain an
acceptable mean and variance for each sample location and task. Sample locations may
include decon, bag-out, inside work area, outside work area (stairwells), outside work
area (adjacent floor), outside work area (other floor), and building exterior. The tasks
may include preparation, gross removal, fine cleaning, and bag-out.
All samples will be collected and analyzed in accordance with the NIOSH Method 7400.
The Contingency Plan presents the sampling protocol for any elevated fiber count or
possible release.
PCM samples will be collected from inside the containment. These samples will be used
to indicate the fiber levels inside the containment and compare to the outside containment
samples.
5.12.3 Clearance Air Monitoring
Following the completion of cleanup operations, passing final visual inspections, and
after encapsulant has completely dried; the EC will collect clearance samples. The
May 2014

clearance air samples shall be collected and analyzed by polarized light microscopy
(PCM), in accordance with NIOSH Method 7400.
5.13 Tear Down and Site Restoration
Once the AC Supervisor has been told either in person or via fax that the regulated area
has passed the clearance testing, AC workers may dismantle the barrier walls and
decontamination units. All tools and equipment to be reused must either be cleaned
(wet-wiped) or bagged and labeled for transport. All other materials must be bagged and
disposed of as asbestos waste in accordance with Section 6.0.
After completion of all tasks and prior to demobilization, AC shall remove all debris and
trash from site.

1.0 Introduction
These lead abatement specifications are intended to provide the contractors working for East
Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority (RDA) with recommended procedures and information
that should facilitate the successful completion of renovation and demolition projects impacting
lead based paint (LBP) or LBP-containing materials. These requirements are for renovation and
demolition projects that have LBP-containing materials present.
Individual project
circumstances may vary greatly depending on factors, such as the type(s) of LBP present and
renovation or demolition procedures used. However, this document addresses general
procedures that most renovation and demolition projects should have in common.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates the renovation and
demolition of facilities through the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP).
Additionally, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulates the
occupational exposure to lead containing paints and materials. The current OSHA standard (29
CFR 1926.62) for lead exposure in construction has a permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 50
micrograms per cubic meter of air (50 µg/m3), measured as an 8-hour time-weighted average
(TWA). As with all OSHA health standards, when the PEL is exceeded, the hierarchy of
controls requires employers to institute feasible engineering and work practice controls as the
primary means to reduce and maintain employee exposures to levels at or below the PEL. When
all feasible engineering and work practice controls have been implemented but have proven
inadequate to meet the PEL, employers must nonetheless implement these controls and must
supplement them with appropriate respiratory protection. The employer also must ensure that
employees wear the respiratory protection provided when it is required.
It should be noted that this document assumes that a proper LBP survey, in accordance with
industry standards, will be completed prior to planning the renovation or demolition project.
This document does not address methods for conducting LBP surveys or managing LBP inplace.

Training of employees in the proper use of respirators, including putting on and removing
them, any limitations on their use, and their maintenance.
Procedures for regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the program.
Where respirator use is not required an employer may provide respirators at the request of
employees or permit employees to use their own respirators, if the employer determines that such
respirator use will not in itself create a hazard. If the employer determines that any voluntary
respirator use is permissible, the employer shall provide the respirator users with the information
contained in Appendix D of 29 CFR 1910.134, and, in addition, the employer must establish and
implement those elements of a written respiratory protection program necessary to ensure that
any employee using a respirator voluntarily is medically able to use that respirator, and that the
respirator is cleaned, stored, and maintained so that its use does not present a health hazard to the
user.
Exception: Employers are not required to include in a written respiratory protection program
those employees whose only use of respirators involves the voluntary use of filtering face-pieces
(dust masks).
The employer shall designate a program administrator who is qualified by appropriate training or
experience that is commensurate with the complexity of the program to administer or oversee the
respiratory protection program and conduct the required evaluations of program effectiveness.
The employer shall provide respirators, training, and medical evaluations at no cost to the
employee.
5.1.1 Selection of respirators.
The respiratory protection standard requires the employer to evaluate respiratory hazard(s) in the
workplace, identify relevant workplace and user factors, and base respirator selection on these
factors:
The employer shall select and provide an appropriate respirator based on the respiratory
hazard(s) to which the worker is exposed and workplace and user factors that affect
respirator performance and reliability.
The employer shall select a NIOSH-certified respirator. The respirator shall be used in
compliance with the conditions of its certification.
The employer shall identify and evaluate the respiratory hazard(s) in the workplace; this
evaluation shall include a reasonable estimate of employee exposures to respiratory hazard(s)
and an identification of the contaminant's chemical state and physical form. Where the employer
5-2
cannot identify or reasonably estimate the employee exposure, the employer shall consider the
atmosphere to be immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH).
The employer shall select respirators from a sufficient number of respirator models and sizes so
that the respirator is acceptable to, and correctly fits, the user.
The employer shall provide a respirator that is adequate to protect the health of the employee and
ensure compliance with all other OSHA statutory and regulatory requirements, under routine and
reasonably foreseeable emergency situations.
The respirator selected shall be appropriate for the chemical state and physical form of the
contaminant.
For protection against gases and vapors, the employer shall provide:
An atmosphere-supplying respirator.
An air-purifying respirator, provided that the respirator is equipped with an end-of-servicelife indicator (ESLI) certified by NIOSH for the contaminant.
If there is no ESLI appropriate for conditions in the employer's workplace, the employer
implements a change schedule for canisters and cartridges that is based on objective information
or data that will ensure that canisters and cartridges are changed before the end of their service
life. The employer shall describe in the respirator program the information and data relied upon
and the basis for the canister and cartridge change schedule and the basis for reliance on the data.
For protection against particulates, the employer shall provide:
An atmosphere-supplying respirator.
An air-purifying respirator equipped with a filter certified by NIOSH under 30 CFR part 11
as a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, or an air-purifying respirator equipped
with a filter certified for particulates by NIOSH under 42 CFR part 84.
For contaminants consisting primarily of particles with mass median aerodynamic diameters
(MMAD) of at least 2 micrometers, an air-purifying respirator equipped with any filter
certified for particulates by NIOSH.
5.1.2 Medical evaluation
Using a respirator may place a physiological burden on employees that varies with the type of
respirator worn, the job and workplace conditions in which the respirator is used, and the
medical status of the employee. Accordingly, this paragraph specifies the minimum
5-3
requirements for medical evaluation that employers must implement to determine the employee's
ability to use a respirator.
The employer shall provide a medical evaluation to determine the employee's ability to use a
respirator, before the employee is fit tested or required to use the respirator in the workplace.
The employer may discontinue an employee's medical evaluations when the employee is no
longer required to use a respirator.
The employer shall identify a physician or other licensed health care professional (PLHCP) to
perform medical evaluations using a medical questionnaire or an initial medical examination that
obtains the same information as the medical questionnaire.
The medical evaluation shall obtain the information requested by the questionnaire in Sections 1
and 2, Part A of Appendix C of 29 CFR 1919.134.
The employer shall ensure that a follow-up medical examination is provided for an employee
who gives a positive response to any question among questions 1 through 8 in Section 2, Part A
of Appendix C or whose initial medical examination demonstrates the need for a follow-up
medical examination.
The follow-up medical examination shall include any medical tests, consultations, or diagnostic
procedures that the PLHCP deems necessary to make a final determination.
The medical questionnaire and examinations shall be administered confidentially during the
employee's normal working hours or at a time and place convenient to the employee. The
medical questionnaire shall be administered in a manner that ensures that the employee
understands its content.
The employer shall provide the employee with an opportunity to discuss the questionnaire and
examination results with the PLHCP.
The following information must be provided to the PLHCP before the PLHCP makes a
recommendation concerning an employee's ability to use a respirator:
The type and weight of the respirator to be used by the employee.
The duration and frequency of respirator use (including use for rescue and escape).
The expected physical work effort.
Additional protective clothing and equipment to be worn.
5-4
Temperature and humidity extremes that may be encountered.
Any supplemental information provided previously to the PLHCP regarding an employee need
not be provided for a subsequent medical evaluation if the information and the PLHCP remain
the same.
The employer shall provide the PLHCP with a copy of the written respiratory protection program
and a copy of 29 CFR 1910.134.
In determining the employee's ability to use a respirator, the employer shall:
Obtain a written recommendation regarding the employee's ability to use the respirator from the
PLHCP. The recommendation shall provide only the following information:
Any limitations on respirator use related to the medical condition of the employee, or relating
to the workplace conditions in which the respirator will be used, including whether or not
the employee is medically able to use the respirator.
The need, if any, for follow-up medical evaluations.
A statement that the PLHCP has provided the employee with a copy of the PLHCP's written
recommendation.
If the respirator is a negative pressure respirator and the PLHCP finds a medical condition that
may place the employee's health at increased risk if the respirator is used, the employer shall
provide a PAPR, if the PLHCP's medical evaluation finds that the employee can use such a
respirator; if a subsequent medical evaluation finds that the employee is medically able to use a
negative pressure respirator, then the employer is no longer required to provide a PAPR.
At a minimum, the employer shall provide additional medical evaluations that comply with the
requirements of this section if:
An employee reports medical signs or symptoms that are related to ability to use a respirator.
A PLHCP, supervisor, or the respirator program administrator informs the employer that an
employee needs to be reevaluated.
Information from the respiratory protection program, including observations made during fit
testing and program evaluation, indicates a need for employee reevaluation.
5-5
A change occurs in workplace conditions (e.g., physical work effort, protective clothing or
temperature) that may result in a substantial increase in the physiological burden placed
on an employee.
5.1.3 Fit testing
The employer is required to ensure that, before an employee may be required to use any
respirator with a negative or positive pressure tight-fitting face-piece, the employee must be fit
tested with the same make, model, style, and size of respirator that will be used. The respiratory
protection standard specifies the kinds of fit tests allowed, the procedures for conducting them,
and how the results of the fit tests must be used.
The employer shall ensure that employees using a tight-fitting face-piece respirator pass an
appropriate qualitative fit test (QLFT) or quantitative fit test (QNFT) as stated in 29 CFR
1910.134.
The employer shall ensure that an employee using a tight-fitting face-piece respirator is fit tested
prior to initial use of the respirator, whenever a different respirator face-piece (size, style, model
or make) is used, and at least annually thereafter.
The employer shall conduct an additional fit test whenever the employee reports, or the
employer, PLHCP, supervisor, or program administrator makes visual observations of, changes
in the employee's physical condition that could affect respirator fit. Such conditions include, but
are not limited to, facial scarring, dental changes, cosmetic surgery, or an obvious change in
body weight.
QLFT may only be used to fit test negative pressure air-purifying respirators that must achieve a
fit factor of 100 or less.
If the fit factor, as determined through an OSHA-accepted QNFT protocol, is equal to or greater
than 100 for tight-fitting half face-pieces, or equal to or greater than 500 for tight-fitting full
face-pieces, the QNFT has been passed with that respirator.
Fit testing of tight-fitting atmosphere-supplying respirators and tight-fitting powered airpurifying respirators shall be accomplished by performing quantitative or qualitative fit testing in
the negative pressure mode, regardless of the mode of operation (negative or positive pressure)
that is used for respiratory protection.
Qualitative fit testing of these respirators shall be accomplished by temporarily converting the
respirator user's actual face-piece into a negative pressure respirator with appropriate filters, or
by using an identical negative pressure air-purifying respirator face-piece with the same sealing
5-6
surfaces as a surrogate for the atmosphere-supplying or powered air-purifying respirator facepiece.
Quantitative fit testing of these respirators shall be accomplished by modifying the face-piece to
allow sampling inside the face-piece in the breathing zone of the user, midway between the nose
and mouth. This requirement shall be accomplished by installing a permanent sampling probe
onto a surrogate face-piece, or by using a sampling adapter designed to temporarily provide a
means of sampling air from inside the face-piece.
Any modifications to the respirator face-piece for fit testing shall be completely removed, and
the face-piece restored to NIOSH-approved configuration, before that face-piece can be used in
the workplace.
5.1.4 Use of respirators
The respiratory protection standard requires employers to establish and implement procedures
for the proper use of respirators. These requirements include prohibiting conditions that may
result in face-piece seal leakage, preventing employees from removing respirators in hazardous
environments, taking actions to ensure continued effective respirator operation throughout the
work shift, and establishing procedures for the use of respirators in IDLH atmospheres or in
interior structural firefighting situations.
For all tight-fitting respirators, the employer shall ensure that employees perform a user seal
check each time they put on the respirator using the procedures in Appendix B-1 of the standard
or procedures recommended by the respirator manufacturer that the employer demonstrates are
as effective as those in Appendix B-1 of the standard.
5.1.5 Respirator effectiveness
Appropriate surveillance shall be maintained of work area conditions and degree of employee
exposure or stress. When there is a change in work area conditions or degree of employee
exposure or stress that may affect respirator effectiveness, the employer shall re-evaluate the
continued effectiveness of the respirator.
The employer shall ensure that employees leave the respirator use area for the following issues:
To wash their faces and respirator face-pieces as necessary to prevent eye or skin irritation
associated with respirator use; or
If they detect vapor or gas breakthrough, changes in breathing resistance, or leakage of the
face-piece; or
5-7
If the employee detects vapor or gas breakthrough, changes in breathing resistance, or leakage of
the face-piece, the employer must replace or repair the respirator before allowing the employee
to return to the work area.
5.1.6 Maintenance and care of respirators
The respiratory protection standard requires the employer to provide for the cleaning and
disinfecting, storage, inspection, and repair of respirators used by employees.
5.1.7 Cleaning and disinfecting
The employer shall provide each respirator user with a respirator that is clean, sanitary, and in
good working order. The employer shall ensure that respirators are cleaned and disinfected using
the procedures in Appendix B-2 of the standard, or procedures recommended by the respirator
manufacturer, provided that such procedures are of equivalent effectiveness. The respirators
shall be cleaned and disinfected at the following intervals:
Respirators issued for the exclusive use of an employee shall be cleaned and disinfected as
often as necessary to be maintained in a sanitary condition.
Respirators issued to more than one employee shall be cleaned and disinfected before being
worn by different individuals.
Respirators maintained for emergency use shall be cleaned and disinfected after each use.
Respirators used in fit testing and training shall be cleaned and disinfected after each use.
5.1.8 Storage
The employer shall ensure that respirators are stored as follows:
All respirators shall be stored to protect them from damage, contamination, dust, sunlight,
extreme temperatures, excessive moisture, and damaging chemicals, and they shall be
packed or stored to prevent deformation of the face-piece and exhalation valve.
In addition to the requirements of paragraph (h)(2)(i) of the standard, emergency respirators shall
be:
Kept accessible to the work area.
Stored in compartments or in covers that are clearly marked as containing emergency
respirators.
Stored in accordance with any applicable manufacturer instructions.
5-8
5.1.9 Inspection

and in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, and shall be checked for
proper function before and after each use; and
Emergency escape-only respirators shall be inspected before being carried into the workplace
for use.
The employer shall ensure that respirator inspections include the following:
A check of respirator function, tightness of connections, and the condition of the various
parts including, but not limited to, the face-piece, head straps, valves, connecting tube,
and cartridges, canisters or filters.
A check of elastomeric parts for pliability and signs of deterioration.
5.1.10 Repairs
The employer shall ensure that respirators that fail an inspection or are otherwise found to be
defective are removed from service, and are discarded or repaired or adjusted in accordance with
the following procedures:
Repairs or adjustments to respirators are to be made only by persons appropriately trained to
perform such operations and shall use only the respirator manufacturer's NIOSHapproved parts designed for the respirator and repairs shall be made according to the
manufacturer's recommendations and specifications for the type and extent of repairs to
be performed; and reducing and admission valves, regulators, and alarms shall be
adjusted or repaired only by the manufacturer or a technician trained by the manufacturer.
5.1.11 Identification of Filters, Cartridges and Canisters
The employer shall ensure that all filters, cartridges and canisters used in the workplace are
labeled and color coded with the NIOSH approval label and that the label is not removed and
remains legible.
5-9
5.1.12 Training
The employer shall provide effective training to employees who are required to use respirators.
The training must be comprehensive, understandable, and recur annually, and more often if
necessary. The standard also requires the employer to provide the basic information on
respirators in Appendix D of the standard to employees who wear respirators when not required
by this section or by the employer to do so.
The employer shall ensure that each employee can demonstrate knowledge of at least the
following:
Why the respirator is necessary and how improper fit, usage, or maintenance can
compromise the protective effect of the respirator.
What the limitations and capabilities of the respirator are.
How to use the respirator effectively in emergency situations, including situations in which
the respirator malfunctions.
How to inspect, put on and remove, use, and check the seals of the respirator.
What the procedures are for maintenance and storage of the respirator.
How to recognize medical signs and symptoms that may limit or prevent the effective use of
respirators.
The training shall be conducted in a manner that is understandable to the employee and the
employer shall provide the training prior to requiring the employee to use a respirator in the
workplace.
An employer who is able to demonstrate that a new employee has received training within the
last 12 months that addresses the elements specified in paragraph (k)(1)(i) through (vii) of the
respiratory protection standard is not required to repeat such training provided that, as required
by paragraph (k)(1), the employee can demonstrate knowledge of those element(s). Previous
training not repeated initially by the employer must be provided no later than 12 months from the
date of the previous training.
Retraining shall be administered annually, and when the following situations occur:
Changes in the workplace or the type of respirator render previous training obsolete;
Inadequacies in the employee's knowledge or use of the respirator indicate that the employee
has not retained the requisite understanding or skill.
5-10
Any other situation arises in which retraining appears necessary to ensure safe respirator use.
The basic advisory information on respirators, as presented in Appendix D of the standard, shall
be provided by the employer in any written or oral format, to employees who wear respirators
when such use is not required by this section or by the employer.
5.1.13 Program Evaluation
The respiratory protection standard requires the employer to conduct evaluations of the
workplace to ensure that the written respiratory protection program is being properly
implemented, and to consult employees to ensure that they are using the respirators properly.
The employer shall conduct evaluations of the workplace as necessary to ensure that the
provisions of the current written program are being effectively implemented and that it continues
to be effective.
The employer shall regularly consult employees required to use respirators to assess the
employees' views on program effectiveness and to identify any problems. Any problems that are
identified during this assessment shall be corrected. Factors to be assessed include, but are not
limited to: Respirator fit (including the ability to use the respirator without interfering with
effective workplace performance). Appropriate respirator selection for the hazards to which the
employee is exposed.
Proper respirator use under the workplace conditions the employee encounters.
Proper respirator maintenance.
5.1.14 Record Keeping
This section requires the employer to establish and retain written information regarding medical
evaluations, fit testing, and the respirator program. This information will facilitate employee
involvement in the respirator program, assist the employer in auditing the adequacy of the
program, and provide a record for compliance determinations by OSHA.

Purpose
Aerostar Environmental Services, Inc. (AEROSTAR) conducted the following assessment
activities to evaluate specific environmental risks that could potentially impact the acquisition
and redevelopment of the site by a prospective purchaser. The assessment was performed as
part of the City of Baton Rouge - Parish of East Baton Rouge’s (City-Parish) Brownfields
Program using funding from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
1.4
Site Description and Activities
From February 7 to 13, 2012, AEROSTAR conducted Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM)
surveys, Lead-Based Paint (LBP) surveys, Hazardous Component Inventories, and Visual
Mold Inspections of multiple buildings within the BR-182 property, located at 1509
Government Street, Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana. The buildings were
arbitrarily labeled 1-10 by previous site inspectors. Building 4 had been removed at the time
of the survey. The area of the survey included all accessible areas of the buildings remaining
on site, including, but not limited to, roofs, attic spaces, crawl spaces, basements, exterior
areas, and throughout the interior spaces. Building 2, first floor room 1 was not accessible
because it was secured due to an “asbestos danger keep out” sign.
1.5
Findings and Results
1.5.1
Asbestos Survey
A visual reconnaissance of suspect asbestos containing materials (ACMs) was performed in all
accessible areas of the structures. A total of 95 homogeneous areas were identified. Two
homogeneous areas were not sampled (1509-EB1 – Elevator Brakes and 1509-EB2 – Elevator
Brakes) due to inaccessibility; therefore, homogeneous areas 1509-EB1 and 1509-EB2 are
assumed to contain asbestos until sampled. A total of 23 of the 93 homogeneous areas
sampled within the structures were found to contain asbestos fiber concentrations greater than
one percent (1%) by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) analysis.

Draft ACM & LBP Surveys, Hazardous Component Inventory and Mold Survey, AES Project Number 0811-145-33
March 26, 2012
Page 1
Laboratory analytical results indicated Buildings 1, 2, 3, and 7 as having ACMs. No ACMs
were identified in the samples collected from Buildings 6 and 8. No samples were collected
for laboratory analysis from Buildings 5, 9, and 10 since building materials observed were not
potentially asbestos containing.
1.5.2
Lead-Based Paint Survey
A LBP survey was performed using Niton XLp 302A series X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF)
portable spectrum analyzers, serial number 23358. Lead concentrations equal to or greater
than 1.0 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2) were found in 51 of 407 XRF sample
locations, specifically in Buildings 1, 2, and 6. Buildings 3, 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10 did not have XRF
sample results equal to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2.
1.5.3
Hazardous Component Inventory
AEROSTAR conducted an inventory of all hazardous materials/components to include
fluorescent light fixtures, inspecting ballasts for labels stating “No PCBs”, High Intensity
Discharge (HID) lighting lamps, switches associated with Heating Ventilation and Air
Conditioner (HVAC) and refrigeration systems, and storage of containers or equipment which
may contain hazardous materials including, but not limited to electrical transformers, a ceiling
crane, compressed gases, paint, cleaning supplies, and stored batteries throughout each of the
buildings.
Hazardous components observed throughout the site included 5 mercury thermostats, 56 HID
lamps, 21 incandescent lights, 35 flood lights, approximately 351 fluorescent light fixtures,
approximately 1,189 fluorescent light bulbs, various types of air conditioning units (central air,
window-mounted, and Bard system) containing freon, 10 automotive batteries, a crate
containing various sized batteries, various compressed gases, and various household and
commercial chemicals throughout the site.
Buildings 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 were energized at the time of the field investigation, so
AEROSTAR was not able to access the fluorescent light fixture ballasts for safety reasons. No
additional information was provided about the ballasts, so the ballasts were assumed to contain
PCBs for this investigation. Exterior observations included abandoned transformers, relays
and other materials stored on the northern fence line. An abandoned gasoline pump was
observed between Buildings 7 and 5. The crate of various types of batteries was observed on
the east side porch of Building 7.
1.5.4 Visual Mold Inspection
Building 1 had extensive water damage and mold throughout. The water damage and mold
were observed on the ceiling tiles, plaster, drywall, brick, windows, air conditioner vents,
carpets, concrete floors, vinyl floor tile, and wood paneling. Vegetation was noted growing on
numerous interior walls. Exterior broken windows and doors were allowing water to enter the
building.
March 26, 2012

Building 2 had water damage and mold on ceiling tiles, plaster, windows, air conditioner vents,
carpets, and wood paneling in limited areas.
No water damage or mold was observed in Buildings 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
1.5.5
Avian Feces
Numerous exterior broken windows and doors were allowing birds to enter the Building 1.
AEROSTAR inspectors observed approximately 2 to 3 inches of bird feces throughout the
building.

may contain hazardous materials including, but not limited to electrical transformers, a ceiling
crane, compressed gases, paint, cleaning supplies, and stored batteries throughout each of the
buildings.
4.4
Visual Water Damage and Mold Inspection
A visual inspection for water damaged areas and mold was conducted to identify locations
and quantify areas of visible mold growth throughout each of the buildings.
4.5
Avian Feces Inspection
A visual inspection for the presence of avian feces was conducted to identify locations and
preliminarily estimate the amount of excrement within each of the buildings.
5.0 RESULTS
5.1
Asbestos Survey Results
AEROSTAR performed an asbestos renovation/demolition survey of all areas associated with
the referenced structures. A total of 95 homogeneous areas were identified. Two
homogeneous areas were not sampled (1509-EB1 – Elevator Brakes and 1509-EB2 – Elevator
Brakes) due to inaccessibility; therefore, homogeneous areas 1509-EB1 and 1509-EB2 are
assumed to contain asbestos until sampled.

Lead-Based Paint Survey Results
Based on HUD guidelines, an XRF sample equal to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2 is considered to
be the action level at which the paint is considered to be LBP. XRF sample readings (Pbc ±
Pbc Error) are reported as lead concentration (Pbc) in mg/cm2 plus or minus the statistical
deviation (Pbc Error) that allows for 95% confidence. To determine the XRF sample result to
be positive or negative, the XRF sample readings (Pbc ± Pbc Error) were reported as a 95%
confidence interval compared to the HUD action-level (1.0 mg/cm2). The following building
components exhibited XRF sample results containing lead concentrations greater than 1.0
mg/cm2:

Hazardous Component Inventory Results
Building 1 did not have power at the time of the survey. All fluorescent light bulbs and
ballasts were removed from Building 1 prior to the survey. One mercury thermostat was
observed on the second floor in Hall 1. Six HID Lamps were observed on the 2nd floor and 13
were observed on the 3rd floor. A total of 10 incandescent lights and 27 flood lights were
inside Building 1. A ceiling crane is located on the north end of the building.
