2.4 Waste Handling/Disposal
■ The selected contractor is responsible for proper waste containerization, storage,
characterization, and labeling in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local
regulations.
■ All lead -contaminated waste will be bagged or wrapped in six millimeter po yethylene
sheeting prior to being removed from the controlled work area.
■ Waste will be staged in a secure area on -site until transported to a disposal site.
■ Waste material will not be handled in such a way as to generate dust.
■ No visible emissions will be created during any waste handling activity.
■ Properly manifest, transport, and dispose of lead -contaminated paint chips, bris, and
waste water in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
2.5 Special Considerations
■ Prior to the start of any field work, the selected contractor is required to submit a
written lead compliance plan to the building owner and/or owner's representat ve.
■ Electricity (115 volt) is available at the site. The contractor is responsible for providing
any rework wiring required. Any rework wiring required must be done by a qualified
and licensed electrician.
■ Water and sewer service is available at the site. All waste water will be ollected,
filtered, and disposed of in accordance with local wastewater facility requirem nts.
■ Removal and surface preparation methods should be chosen to minimize the generation
of dust (e.g. wet methods and/or HEPA filter equipped sanders).
■ Selected contractors shall take steps to prevent the transport of dust, debris or other
contamination to adjacent portions of the site.
■ All of the exterior window glazing on the barn structure (approximately 240 li iear feet)
contains a trace (less than 1.0 percent) amount of asbestos. This material is currently
not regulated by the USEPA or the CDPHE. If this material is disturbed, the contractor
must comply with all current OSHA regulations for monitoring employee explosure to
asbestos, as well as comply with proper disposal requirements (if removed). I asbestos
material is disposed, the selected contractor will provide a copy of the comple ed waste
manifest to the owner and/or the owner's representative. Analytical resuli s for the
asbestos samples collected are included in Appendix A.
■ All waste and debris generated by the selected contractor during the rerr. oval and
surface preparation activities must be disposed of as a hazardous was a unless
characterized as non -hazardous. The contractor may, at their own expense, legregate
and characterize different waste streams (i.e. personal protective equipme it, water
filters, polyethylene sheeting, etc.). Analytical results of all waste characterizz tion tests
must be submitted to the owner and/or the owner's representative. The con tractor is
responsible for all costs associated with the analytical testing and proper di osal of
these lead -contaminated materials. In addition, the selected contractor will 1 rovide a
copy of the completed waste manifest to the owner and/or the owner's represe ative.
■ The building owner and/or owner's representative will provide a final visual i spection
for all work areas. Clearance protocols will include a visual inspection to cJ etermine

that each specified area is free of loose paint and visible dust and that the surface is
ready for repainting. The final project clearance criteria are described in Sect on 4.
The selected contractor is responsible for removing any/all fixtures, fixed o jects, and
other items that may be required to facilitate removal and surface prepara ion. The
contractor is responsible for reinstalling any removed items unless the item i noted for
removal and disposal.

1 PROJECT SUMMARY
Walsh Environmental Scientists and Engineers, LLC (WALSH) was contracted by flke City of
Fort Collins to develop Scope of Work for lead -based paint (LBP) removal and surface
preparation activities at the Nix Natural Area -Barn Structure, 1745 Hoffman Mill Road, Fort
Collins, Colorado. The activities described in this Scope of Work are not in ended to
permanently contain or eliminate the LBP hazard and therefore is not a State of Colorado
Regulation 19 "Abatement Project," but instead is intended to prepare and resto painted
exterior portions of the structure while adhering to the U.S. Department of Labor, Oc upational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), and any other applicable regulations. OSHA regulates worker exposure to lead
under regulations promulgated under 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1926.62. This
standard applies to all construction work where employees may be occupationally a posed to
lead, including renovation and remodeling activities. During the LBP removal and p eparation
functions the selected contractor must comply with all requirements outlined in 29 CFR
1926.62. The general scope for this project is as follows:
■ Remove loose and damaged paint form exterior painted building components and
prepare remaining surfaces for repainting.
■ Remove loose paint chips present in surficial soils surrounding the structure.
■ Perform post -removal cleaning activities on exterior painted building surfaces.
■ Dispose of lead -contaminated paint chips, debris, and waste water in accordance with
applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
The exterior paint on the structure was observed to range from a fair to very poor condition.
The exterior of the structure was screened for LBP with a portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF)
spectroscopy analyzer, by WALSH on October 26, 2005. The U.S. Environmental f rotection
Agency (EPA), Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), OSHA, and
other agencies define LBP as paint having a lead content of greater than or equ 1 to 1.0
milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm2) using XRF analysis. Select exterior typicE 1 painted
components of the structures were evaluated for the presence of LBP. A table included in
Appendix A provides a summary of the painted components screened for lead at the site and the
screening results. XRF analysis results identified several components that contained lead above
the 1.0 mg/cm2 level.
