N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 12 §§ 56-8.5 - Waste clean-up procedures
The following procedures shall be required for Phase II B large and small projects.
(a) Tools
and equipment. All accumulations of asbestos waste material shall be adequately
wetted and containerized using HEPA-vacuums or rubber or plastic dustpans,
squeegees or shovels. Metal shovels shall not be used to pick up or move waste.
HEPA-vacuums shall be used to clean all surfaces after gross cleanup.
(b) Frequency for containerizing. During
Phase II B, all waste generated shall be bagged, wrapped or containerized
immediately upon removal. Cleanup of accumulations of loose debris/waste
material shall be performed whenever enough loose debris/waste material has
been removed to fill a single leak-tight container appropriate for the type of
ACM being removed. Cleanup of all remaining waste generated shall be performed
at least once prior to close of each workshift. All waste material shall be
kept adequately wet at all times.
(c) Frequency for dust or debris.
Accumulations of dust or debris shall be cleaned off all surfaces on a daily
basis using HEPA-vacuum or wet-cleaning methods or both.
(d) Frequency for decontamination system
enclosures. Decontamination system enclosures shall be HEPA-vacuumed or
wet-cleaned or both at the end of each workshift.
(e) Waste housekeeping. The regulated
abatement work area, holding area, waste trailer and hardtop dumpster areas
must be kept free of uncontainerized asbestos waste/debris at all
times.
