Section 56-9.3 - Dismantling of regulated abatement work area

(a) Collapsing and containerizing of tent enclosures. Each tent enclosure and airlock shall not be dismantled until clearance air sampling has been performed and satisfactory results obtained. The plastic sheeting which formed the tent, airlock, and the contents thereof, shall be fully collapsed, starting from the top and working downward. The tent and contents shall be placed in at least a six mil plastic bag or hardwall container, sealed airtight with duct tape and removed for disposal. The plastic sheeting shall be treated as contaminated material and properly disposed of as asbestos waste.

(b) Removal of tools and equipment. All remaining tools and equipment shall be removed from the regulated abatement work area after proper decontamination as per this Part.

(c) Removal of remaining barriers. Once the asbestos abatement contractor receives satisfactory clearance air sample results, or an acceptable visual inspection for an exempt regulated abatement work area, and all tools and equipment are removed, all remaining polyethylene, duct tape, expandable foam and other barrier materials shall be bagged, wrapped or containerized and labeled as asbestos waste. Temporary hardwall barriers must be dismantled and removed from the site. If any debris/residue is observed behind barriers, it shall be removed and bagged/containerized followed by HEPA-vacuuming and wet-cleaning of the surfaces that were hidden behind the barrier. All waste generated shall be removed to the holding area, lockable trailer or lockable hardtop dumpster as per section 56-8.9 of this Part. The asbestos abatement contractor's supervisor shall then conduct a final inspection of the regulated abatement work area to certify that the abatement work is complete and no debris/residue remains. The results of the final inspection for each regulated abatement work area shall be noted in the asbestos abatement contractor supervisor's daily project log.

(d) Removal of decontamination enclosure. After all other remaining isolation barriers, tools and equipment have been removed from the regulated abatement work area, the remaining decontamination enclosure for the regulated abatement work area must be dismantled and removed from the work site. All plastic sheeting shall be removed and disposed of as asbestos waste.
