responsibility of the Contractor and is included in the Contract; and
This section describes air monitoring carried out by the Owner to verify that the building beyond the work area and the
outside environment remains uncontaminated. This work is not included in the Contract.
This section also sets forth airborne fiber levels both inside and outside the work area as action levels, and describes the
action required by the Contractor if an action level is met or exceeded. This work is included in the Contract.
AIR MONITORING:
Work Area Isolation: The purpose of the Owner's air monitoring is to monitor the air in and around the work area to detect
faults in the work area isolation such as:
Contamination of the building outside of the work area with airborne asbestos fibers,
Failure of filtration or rupture in the differential pressure system,
Contamination of air outside the building with airborne asbestos fibers.
Should any of the above occur immediately cease asbestos abatement activities until the fault is corrected. Do not
recommence work until authorized by the Owner's Representative.
Work Area Airborne Fiber Count: The Owner will monitor airborne fiber counts in the Work Area. The purpose of this
air monitoring will be to detect airborne asbestos concentrations which may challenge the ability of the Work Area isolation
procedures to protect the balance of the building or outside of the building from contamination by airborne fibers.
Work area clearance: To determine if the elevated airborne fiber counts encountered during abatement operations have
been reduced to an acceptable level, the Owner will sample and analyze air per Section 01714 Work Area Clearance.
The Owner's Representative will be conducting air monitoring throughout the course of the project.
STOP ACTION LEVELS:
Inside Work Area: Maintain an average airborne count in the Work Area of less than 0.5 fibers per cubic centimeter. If
the fiber counts rise above this figure for any sample taken, revise work procedures to lower fiber counts. If the Time
Weighted Average (TWA) fiber count for any work shift or 8 hour period exceeds 0.5 fibers per cubic centimeter, stop all
work, leave Pressure Differential System in operation and notify Owner's Representative. After correcting cause of high fiber
levels, do not recommence work for 24 hours unless otherwise authorized, in writing, by Owner's Representative.
SECTION 01410 AIR MONITORING TEST LABORATORY SERVICES PAGE 1
GOVERNMENT HOUSE
48 KING STREET
St. Augustine, Florida
Asbestos Abatement
If airborne fiber counts exceed 2.0 fibers per cubic centimeter for any period of time cease all work except corrective action
until fiber counts fall below 0.5 fibers per cubic centimeter and notify Owner's Representative. After correcting cause of
high fiber levels, do not recommence work for 24 hours unless otherwise authorized, in writing, by Owner's Representative.
Outside Work Area: If any air sample taken outside of the Work Area exceeds 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter (f/cc) by
phase contrast microscopy (PCM) analysis or the base line established below, immediately and automatically stop all work
except corrective action. The Owner's Representative will determine the source of the high reading and so notify the
Contractor in writing.
If the high reading was the result of a failure of Work Area isolation measures initiate the following actions:
Immediately erect new critical barriers as set forth in Section 01526 Temporary Enclosures to isolate the affected
area from the balance of the building. Erect Critical Barriers at the next existing structural isolation of the involved
space (eg. wall, ceiling, floor).
Require that respiratory protection as set forth in Section 01562 Respiratory Protection be worn in affected area
until area is cleared for re-occupancy in accordance with Section 01714 Work Area Clearance.
Leave Critical Barriers in place until completion of work and insure that the operation of the pressure differential
system in the Work Area results in a flow of air from the balance of the building into the affected area.
If the exit from the clean room of the personnel decontamination unit enters the affected area, establish a
decontamination facility consisting of a Shower Room and Changing Room as set forth in Section 01563
Decontamination Units at entry point to affected area.
After Certification of Visual Inspection in the Work Area remove critical barriers separating the work area from
the affected area. Final air samples will be taken within the entire area as set forth in Section 01714 Work Area
Clearance.
If the high reading was the result of other causes initiate corrective action as determined by the Owner's
Representative.
Effect on Contract Sum: Complete corrective work with no change in the Contract Sum if high airborne fiber counts were
caused by Contractor's activities. The Contract Sum and schedule will be adjusted for additional work caused by high
airborne fiber counts beyond the Contractor's control.
Fibers Counted: The following procedure will be used to resolve any disputes regarding fiber types when a project has
been stopped due to excessive airborne fiber counts.
All PCM samples shall be analyzed following thw NIOSH 7400 Method.
In case of conflict, the Contractor at his own expense has the right to use TEM analytical procedures to confirm
the data. TEM analysis must follow the AHERA analytical protocol.
ANALYTICAL METHODS:
The following methods will be used by the Owner in analyzing filters used to collect air samples. Sampling rates may be
varied from printed standards to allow for high volume sampling.
Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) will be performed using the NIOSH 7400 method. This analysis will be carried out at
the job site.

samples from each work area, surrounding areas, and outside of each building to help establish a baseline air
sample fiber count for the prescribed work.
Daily Samples: The Owner reserves the right to collect and analyze representative air samples from inside the
work area, outside the work area, outside the building, and at HEPA filtration device exhausts on a daily basis
during all abatement activities to monitor the contractor's control measures and the effect they may have on the
outside environment.
Detection Limit: Where possible, air samples shall be collected with enough volume of air to achieve a detection
limit of no higher than 0.005 fibers per cubic centimeter.
Pump Flow Rates: All pumps shall be calibrated before and after use for low rates between 0.50-16.0 1pm.
Volume range for all samples shall be 1,200 liters of air per test, where possible.
All other tests, if necessary, shall be run at least until optimum volumes have been achieved, filters appear to have
darkened at the end of each containment shift (ex. morning and afternoon separate tests), or until optimum fiber
densities are achieved (100-1,300 fiber mm2), or as otherwise specified by consultant.
PERSONAL MONITORING:
Air monitoring as required to meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1001 and 29 CFR 1926.1101 requirements for maintenance of
Time Weighted Average (TWA) and Excursion Limit (EL) fiber counts for types of respiratory protection is to be performed
by the Contractor.

PART 3 EXECUTION
PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL ISOLATION
Isolate the Work Area from all adjacent areas or systems of the building with a Pressure Differential that will cause a
movement of air from outside to inside at any breach in the physical isolation of the Work Area.
Relative Pressure in Work Area: Continuously maintain the work area at an air pressure that is lower than that in any
surrounding space in the building, or at any location in the immediate proximity outside of the building envelope. This
pressure differential when measured across any physical or critical barrier must equal or exceed a static pressure of:
0.02 inches of water
Accomplish the pressure differential by exhausting a sufficient number of HEPA filtered fan units from the work area. The
number of units required will depend on machine characteristics, the seal at barriers, and required air circulation. The
SECTION 01513 TEMPORY PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL & AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM PAGE 2
GOVERNMENT HOUSE
48 KING STREET
St. Augustine, Florida
Asbestos Abatement
number of units will increase with increased make-up air or leaks into the Work Area. Determine the number of units
required for pressure isolation by the following procedure:
Establish required air circulation in the work area, personnel and equipment decontamination units.
Establish isolation by increased pressure in adjacent areas or as part of seals where required.
Exhaust a sufficient number of units from the work area to develop the required pressure differential.
The required number of units is the number determined above plus one
additional unit.
Vent HEPA filtered fan units to outside of building unless authorized in writing by Owner's Representative.
AIR CIRCULATION IN THE WORK AREA:
Air Circulation: For purposes of this section air circulation refers to either the introduction of outside air to the Work Area
or the circulation and cleaning of air within the Work Area.
Air circulation in the Work Area is a minimum requirement intended to help maintain airborne fiber counts at a level that
does not significantly challenge the work area isolation measures. The Contractor may also use this air circulation as part
of the engineering controls in his worker protection program.
Determining the Air circulation Requirements: Provide a fully operational air circulation system supplying a minimum
of the following air circulation rate:
4 air changes per hour in unoccupied buildings 6 air changes per hour in occupied buildings
Determine Number of Units needed to achieve required air circulation according to the following procedure:
Determine the volume in cubic feet of the work area by multiplying floor area by ceiling height. Determine total
air circulation requirement in cubic feet per minute (CFM) for the work area by dividing this volume by the air
change rate and multiplying by 60.
Air Circulation Required in Cubic Feet of Air per Minute (CFM) =
Volume of work area (cu. ft.) X Number of air changes per hour
60 (minutes per hour)
Divide the air circulation requirement (CFM) above by capacity of HEPA filtered fan unit(s) used. Capacity of a
unit for purposes of this section is the capacity in cubic feet per minute with fully loaded filters (pressure differential
which causes loaded filter warning light to come on) in the machine's labeled operating characteristics.
Number of Units Needed =
Air circulation Requirement (CFM)
Capacity of Unit with Loaded Filters (CFM)
Add one (1) additional unit as a backup in case of equipment failure or machine shutdown for filter changing.
EXHAUST SYSTEM:
Pressure differential isolation and air circulation in the Work Area are to be accomplished by an exhaust system as described
below.
SECTION 01513 TEMPORY PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL & AIR CIRCULATION SYSTEM PAGE 3
GOVERNMENT HOUSE
48 KING STREET
St. Augustine, Florida
Asbestos Abatement
Exhaust all units from the Work Area to meet air circulation requirement of this section.
Location of HEPA Filtered Fan Units: Locate fan unit(s) so that makeup air enters work area primarily through
decontamination facilities and traverses Work Area as much as possible. This may be accomplished by positioning the
HEPA filtered fan unit(s) at a maximum distance from the worker access opening or other makeup air sources.
Place End of Unit an intake duct or its exhaust duct through an opening in the plastic barrier or wall covering. Seal plastic
around the unit or duct with tape.
Vent to Outside of Building, unless authorized in writing by the Owner's Representative.
Decontamination Units: Arrange Work Area and decontamination units so that the majority of make up air comes through
the Decontamination Units. Use only personnel or equipment Decontamination Unit at any time and seal the other so that
make up air passes through unit in use.
Dismantling the System:
When a final inspection and the results of final air tests indicate that the area has been decontaminated, fan units may be
removed from the Work Area. Before removal from the Work Area, remove and properly dispose of pre-filter,
decontaminate exterior of machine and seal intake to the machine with 6 mil polyethylene to prevent environmental
contamination from the filters.

GOVERNMENT HOUSE
48 KING STREET
St. Augustine, Florida
Asbestos Abatement
Air samples will be collected in areas subject to normal air circulation away from room corners, obstructed
locations, and sites near windows, doors of vents.
SCHEDULE OF AIR SAMPLES:
PCM clearance samples as determined by the Owner's Representative (minimum of two) will be taken in each building and
analyzed in accordance with the procedures described in the Laboratory Testing section below.
PHASE CONTRAST MICROSCOPY:
In each homogeneous Work Area after completion of all cleaning work, samples will be taken as per the above table and
analyzed as follows:
Samples will be collected on 25 mm. cassettes with the following filter media:
PCM: 0.8 mixed cellulose ester in a cassette with a conductive extension cowl.
Detection Limit: Where possible, air samples shall be collected with enough volume of air to achieve a detection
limit of no higher than 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter.
Pump Flow Rates: All pumps shall be calibrated before and after use for low rates between 0.50-16.0 1pm.
Volume range for all samples shall be 1,200 liters of air per test, where possible.
All other tests, if necessary, shall be run at least until optimum volumes have been achieved, filters appear to have
darkened at the end of each containment shift (ex. morning and afternoon separate tests), or until optimum fiber
densities are achieved (* 100-1,300 fiber mm2), or as otherwise specified by consultant.
Analysis: Fibers on each filter will be measured using the NIOSH Method 7400 entitled "Fibers" published in the NIOSH
Manual of Analytical Methods, Revision 3, May 15, 1989.
Fibers: referred to in this section include fibers regardless of composition as counted by the phase contrast microscopy
method used.
