The regulation specifies notification,handling,removal and disposal requirements for all asbestos- containing materials which contain one percent or greater asbestos by weight,both friable and non- friable(note: if asbestos-containing materials are not removed and containerized in accordance with 310 CMR 7.15, the material is subject to 310 CMR 40,the Massachusetts Contingency Plan). Non- friable asbestos-containing materials are included in the regulation because if these materials have deteriorated, are broken and/or mishandled,asbestos emissions may be released to the ambient air. Certain asbestos-containing products,which are discussed in this policy,do not pose a significant public health threat because asbestos fibers are not released to the ambient air if these products are handled properly during removal,repair or disposal. Therefore,this policy designates specific requirements for the handling, removal and disposal of certain asbestos-containing products including vinyl asbestos tile (VAT)and asphalt based roofing and siding products. Notification to the DEP for the renovation/demolition of VAT and asphalt based roofing and siding products is not required if the all the conditions and guidelines in this policy are strictly observed and followed.

The Department of Environmental Protection's (DEP) Asbestos Regulation, 310 CMR 7.00, 7.09, and 7.15, protects the public health by preventing the release of asbestos emissions - to the ambient air. The regulation specifies notification, handling, removal and disposal requirements for all asbestos-containing materials which contain one percent or greater asbestos by weight, both friable and non-friable (note: if asbestos-containing materials are not removed and containerized in accordance with 310 CMR 7.15, the material Is subject to 310 CMR 40,the Massachusetts Contingency Plan). Non-friable asbestos- containing materials are Included in the regulation because if these materials have deteriorated, are broken and/or mishandled, asbestos emissions may be released to the ambient air. Certain asbestos-containing products, which are discussed in this policy, do not pose a significant public health threat because asbestos fibers are not released to the ambient air if these products are handled properly during removal, repair or disposal. Therefore, this policy designates specific requirements for the handling, removal and disposal of certain asbestos-containing products including vinyl asbestos tile (VAT) and asphalt based roofing and siding products . Notification to the DEP for the renovation/demolition of VAT and asphalt based roofing and siding products is not required if the all the conditions and guidelines in this policy are strictly observed and followed. If elr the con-dRion&and guidelines in thi3 polity are strictly'observed and followed;VAT- and asphalt based roofing and siding products may be disposed of in a landfill permitted by the DEP to accept solid waste and, in accordance with the Solid Waste Management Facility Regulations, 310 CMR 19.061(6)(b)3., "Requirements for Certain Classes of Asbestos Wastes," the landfill does not have to obtain a permit to accept special waste. If the VAT and asphalt based roofing and siding products are in a deteriorated state and/or not handled in accordance with this policy or if the DEP has determined that asbestos fibers may be released during handling, removal or disposal, then the materials must be disposed of in a landfill that has obtained a special waste permit to accept asbestos wastes, in accordance with 310 CMR 19.061, "Special Waste.' Handling & Disposal Guidelines for Vinyl Asbestos Tile & Asphalt Based Roofing & Siding Material: 1. The material must not be broken, sanded, sawed, ground or drilled. 2. The material must not be compacted or Incinerated. 3. The material must be disposed of in a DEP permitted solid waste landfill. 4. Any demolition involving these materials must comply with 310 CMR 7.09(3)and (4) (Dust, Odor, Construction, Demolition). 5. If the material is in a deteriorated state prior to commencing demolition/renovation operations, then 310 CMR 7.15 asbestos controls shall be complied with Including notification to DEP. 6. If the material is in a deteriorated state and/or not handled In accordance with this policy, then the material must be disposed of in a landfill that has obtained a special waste permit to accept asbestos wastes, in accordance with 310 CMR 19.061, "Special Waste." Vinyl Asbestos Tile (VAT): 1. Remove VAT from buildings prior to demolition operations. The contractor shall contact the Massachusetts Department of labor and Industries to determine if a licensed abatement contractor, trained personnel and air testing are required.

Mold and Mildew Prior to removing an existing resilient floor following the RFC!Recommended Work Practices for Removal of Resilient Floor Coverings(unless state or local law requires other measures) or installing a new floor, if there are visible indications of mold or mildew or the presence of a strong musty odor in the area where resilient flooring is to be removed or installed, the source of the problem should be identified and corrected before proceeding with the flooring work. In virtually all situations, if there is a mold issue, there is or has been an excessive moisture issue. Visible signs of mold or mildew (such as discoloration)can indicate the presence of mold or mildew on the subfloor, on the underlayment, on the back of the flooring, and sometimes even on the floor surface. If mold or mildew is discovered during the removal or installation of resilient flooring, all flooring work should stop until the mold/mildew problem (and any related moisture problem) has been addressed. Before installing the new resilient flooring, make sure the underlayment and/or subfloor is allowed to thoroughly dry and that any residual effect of excessive moisture, mold, or structural damage has been corrected. To deal with mold and mildew issues,you should refer to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidelines that address mold and mildew. Depending on the mold or mildew condition present,those'remediation options range from cleanup measures using gloves and biocide to hiring a•professional mold and mildew remediation contractor to address the condition. Remediation measures may require structural repairs such as replacing the underlayment and/or subfloor contaminated with mold and mildew as a result of prolonged exposure to moisture. The EPA mold guidelines are contained in two publications "A Brief Guide to Mold, Moisture and Your Home" (EPA 402-K-02-003)and "Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings" (EPA 402-K-01-001). Appendix B of the "Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings" publication describes potential health effects from exposure to mold, such as allergic and asthma reactions and irritation to eyes, skin, nose and throat. These publications can be located on EPA's website at www.epa.gov/iaq/molds 3 NOTICE Various Federal, State and local government agencies have regulations governing the removal of in-place asbestos-containing material. If you contemplate the removal of a resilient floor covering structure that contains(or is presumed to contain)Asbestos, you must review and comply with all applicable regulations. This booklet replaces all prior editions of the RFC' and Armstrong Recommended Work Practices Publications. Please note that these recommended work practices are subject to change as new practices are incorporated. It is your responsibility to determine that the recommended work practices you use are those in effect. Important Information for Installers of Resilient Floor Coverings Concerning Existing Resilient Floor Covering Structures • Vinyl-asbestos tile and asphalt tile contain asbestos fibers,as did some asphaltic "cutback" adhesives and the backings of many sheet vinyl floorings and lining felts.The presence of the asbestos in these products is not readily identifiable. • While resilient floor covering products manufactured today do not contain asbestos,the asbestos used in the older products was encapsulated in the matrix of the product.The Environmental Protection Agenpy (EPA) recognizes that those products are non-friable (i.e. when dry cannot be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure) unless certain activities prohibited by the removal practices in this booklet occur. • Unless positively certain that the product you intend to remove is a non-asbestos- containing material, you must presume it contains asbestos.Regulations may require that the material be tested to determine asbestos content. • RFCI's Recommended Work Practices are a defined set of instructions addressed to the task of removing all resilient floor covering structures whether or not they contain asbestos. When RFCI's Recommended Work Practices are followed, resilient floor covering structures that contain (or are presumed to contain) asbestos can be removed in a manner that will comply with the current Occupational Exposure to Asbestos Standard's Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA). • Numerous products, devices and techniqueshave been recently introduced and/or recommended for the removal of resilient floor covering structures. Before you use any practices other than those identified in this booklet for the removal of an in-place resilient floor-covering product that contains(or is presumed to contain) asbestos,you must determine that the practice meets all applicable regulations or standards including the OSHA standards for occupational exposure to asbestos and the EPA asbestos regulations. 2 OSHA REQUIREMENTS In August 1994, OSHA published revised asbestos standards which affect some of the operations described in this booklet. OSHA has'determined that intact resilient floor covering materials can be removed under a "negative exposure assessment" in compliance with the revised standards by appropriately trained workers using the Recommended Work Practices. • "Intact" is defined to mean that the asbestos-containing material has not crumbled, been pulverized, or otherwise deteriorated so that it is no longer likely to be bound with its matrix. The incidental breakage of flooring materials, or slicing of sheet vinyl floor covering with a sharp-edged instrument, during removal operations conducted in accordance with the Recommended Work Practices does not mean that the materials are not removed in an "intact" condition.OSHA has recognized that resilient floor covering materials are considered non friable if intact and generally do not emit airborne fibers unless subjected to sanding, sawing or other aggressive operations. • Installers of resilient floor covering materials that plan to use the Recommended Work Practices outlined in this book to remove intact and nonfriable asbestos- containing flooring materials are required to complete an 8-hour training program. • Employers must designate a "competent person" with 4 hours of additional training to be responsible for the health and safety of the workers at the floor removal job site. • OSHA has determined that the competent person can make a "negative exposure assessment" based upon data in the OSHA asbestos rulemaking record (including data from the Environ Reports) showing that use of the Recommended Work Practices during removal of intact flooring material consistently results in worker exposures below the levels permitted in the OSHA standards. • Where other workers or persons may have access to the flooring removal worksite,the employer must establish a demarcated "regulated area" (e.g.using barrier tape or closing door to enclose'a‘work area) and post warning signs. • Workers who engage in the removal of asbestos-containing flooring materials for more than 30 days per year(one hour or more per day) must receive medical surveillance. • Employers are required to maintain certain training, workplace and medical records. 5 IN CANADA The Recommended Work Practices for the Removal of Resilient Floor Covering Materials are intended for use in the United States.The work practices for the removal of in-place resilient floor coverings and associated adhesives described in this publication have not been reviewed with either National or Provincial officials in Canada to determine their applicability when asbestos-containing or assumed to be asbestos- containing resilient floor covering materials are encountered. These work practices are recommended when removing resilient floor covering and its associated adhesives that have been determined not to be asbestos-containing. To determine what are acceptable work practices and the associated requirements for the removal of resilient floor covering that is assumed to contain asbestos or has been determined to contain asbestos, you should contact your local or provincial officials. As an alternative to the removal of any in-place resilient floor covering materials, refer to page 7(Alternative to Removal of Existing Resilient Floor Coverings). 4 I GENERAL RULES FOR REMOVAL OF RESILIENT FLOOR COVERING When following the Recommended Work Practices there are several general rules to follow: ✓ Never sand, dry scrape, drill, saw, beadblast, or mechanically chip or pulverize any resilient flooring, backing, lining felt asphaltic "cutback" adhesive, or other adhesive to remove them from the floor. See "Warning Statement" on page one. ✓ Unless positively certain the product you intend to remove is a non-asbestos- containing material,you must presume it contains asbestos. Regulations may require that the material be tested to determine asbestos content. ✓ Removal of existing floor covering should be considered the last alternative. ✓ Use a vacuum equipped with HEPA filter,disposable dust bag, and metal floor attachment (no brush). ✓ All sheet floor removals must be done using detergent solution. ✓ All felt scraping must be done wet. ✓ Prior to removal, all tile must be wetted (except in cases where heat will be applied). ✓ Do not dry sweep.. ✓ Material removed must be placed in heavy-duty impermeable bags at least 6 mils thick or in a leak-tight container, properly labeled and disposed of in an authorized landfill. 7 9 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS GENERAL RULES FOR REMOVAL OF RESILIENT FLOOR COVERING ALTERNATIVES TO REMOVAL OF EXISTING RESILIENT FLOOR COVERINGS Installing resilient floor covering over existing resilient floor covering... • 7 Use of embossing leveler 7 Installing resilient floor covering over new underlayment 7 3 REMOVAL OF RESILIENT SHEET FLOORING Supplies and tools - - 8 Fully-adhered resilient sheet flooring 9 Unadhered (loose-lay)or peripherally-adhered resilient sheet flooring 12 4 REMOVAL OF RESILIENT TILE Supplies and tools 14 Removal procedure 15 5 REMOVAL OF RESIDUAL ADHESIVE Supplies and tools 20 Wet-scraping residual adhesive ... 23 Removal of residual adhesive 1 24 6 COMPLETE REMOVAL OF WOOD UNDERLAYMENT Supplies and tools .. 27 Wood underlayment with sheet flooring 28 Wood underlayment with tile flooring . 30 Removal of wood underlayment boards 32 6 3 REMOVAL OF RESILIENT SHEET FLOORING E Supplies and Tools I.

It is preferred you leave the existing resilient floor covering in place and go over the top (single flooring layer only)with the new floor. Alternatives to the removal of an existing resilient floor over approved subfloors are: I. Installing directly over a single layer of approved existing resilient flooring. 2. Filling the embossing of the in-place resilient flooring with embossing leveler before installation (residential use only). 3. Covering existing resilient:flooring on an approved suspended wood subfloor with a recommended wood underlayment. When you plan to install a new resilient sheet or tile floor covering over an existing resilient floor covering, follow the installation instructions published by the manufacturer. Those instructions will tell you what must be done to the existing surface before the new resilient floor covering can be installed.Remove wax and other finishes by wet stripping,only. Contact your local floorcovering dealer for additional information. 8 constant mist of the specified liquid dishwashing detergent solution into the delamination nip point to minimize any airborne dust particles. When done properly, the felt remaining on the floor and on the back of the strip will be thoroughly wet. Do only one three-strip area at a time. Stand on the remaining floor covering or clean floor(to the extent feasible, minimize standing on the felt).The sliced strips should be peeled from the backing by pulling or rolling around a core which will control the stripping angle to create a uniform tension(some resilient flooring wear layers may not be readily strippable and may require wet-scraping).Tie or tape the removed material securely and place in the heavy-duty impermeable trash bag or closed leak-tight container for disposal. g. Remove and dispose of each succeeding strip in the above manner. Minimize walking on the exposed felt to the extent feasible. Worker footwear must be cleaned or removed before leaving work area. Close full bags tightly, and seal securely for disposal. Identify with an appropriate label stating, for example "Caution—Contains Asbestos. Avoid Opening or Breaking Container. Breathing Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health." Dispose in an approved landfill only. h. Occasionally, parts of the to or inner layer will stick to the backing. This can often be eliminated-by peeling in the opposite direction. The stiff-bladed scraper may aid in the removal or peeling of these layers. i. Wet-scraping residual felt: (I) After three strips of flooring material are removed, any residual felt must be wet scraped.Thoroughly wet the residual felt with the specified liquid dishwashing detergent solution. Wait a few minutes to allow the specified liquid dishwashing detergent solution to soak into the felt. (2) Stand on the remaining floor covering to the extent feasible (not the felt) and use the stiff bladed scraper to scrape up the wet felt. 11 Removal of Fully-Adhered Resilient Sheet Flooring A.Warning Do not sand,dry sweep,dry scrape,drill, saw,beadblast or mechanically chip or pulverize existing resilient floprnng,backing,lining felt, asphaltic "cutback" adhesive,or Other adhesive.See "Warning Statement" on page one. a.

Do not use an excessive amount of water which can damage wood subfloors. The treatment of residual asphaltic "cutback"adhesive,which is covered in this section, is dependent upon the type anew resilient floor covering material to be installed and the type of subfloor. Recommendations for the treatment of residual asphaltic "cutback"adhesive are shown at pages 21 and 22. NOTE There are commercial adhesive removal products containing solvents that are effective in removing cutback or emulsion adhesives and comply with OSHA requirements(e.g.flashpoint greater than 140° F).These products may be used for adhesive removals;however,they may leave a solvent residue within the subfloor that can adversely affect the new adhesive or floor covering. Thus,the warranties provided by the manufacturers of new floor covering materials will not cover instances where subfloor conditions damage their products or affect their installation. The use of asbestos encapsulants or bridging materials over asphaltic adhesive is not recommended as those products may affect the bonding properties of the new adhesive.The application of asphaltic "cutback" adhesives,if recommended by the replacement flooring manufacture),has been demonstrated to be a suitable adhesive when applied over existing cutback adhesive.The use of any new adhesive must be consistent with the installation recommendations of the'replacement-flooring manufacturer. 12 Supplies and Tools L Safety glasses and gloves 2.

See "Warning Statement" on page one. a. After all felt from sheet flooring has been wetscraped or tiles removed from the underlayment joints, drive a chisel, using a hammer or mallet, between the underlayment board and the subfloor. Use the chisel to pry up the underlayment enough to insert a pry bar and remove the chisel. Slowly and carefully use pry bars to pry up the underlayment board a little at a time until the board is completely loose and can be removed. b. Caution must be used to avoid breaking the underlayment board.The underlayment board should be removed in one piece. If the underlayment board breaks,slice through the sheet resilient flooring at the break and spray any exposed felt with the specified liquid dishwashing detergent solution. Allow the specified liquid dishwashing detergent solution to penetrate for a few minutes, then continue lifting the broken underlayment. In the case of.a broken underlayment board with tile adhered,wet (mist)the broken tile and carefully remove any loose pieces. b en car c. Wear heavy gloves and d be careful of wood splinters and fasteners sticking out of the back of the underlayment. Each underlayment board (or piece of board)should be removed from the work area as soon as it has been pried up to avoid injuries(such as stepping on a nail). Fasteners protruding from removed board should be flattened with a hammer. Place removed underlayment boards on skids with the nails pointing downward. Wrap skid with 6-mil polyethylene plastic sheeting and secure with duct tape. Identify with an appropriate label stating, for example "Caution—Contains Asbestos. Avoid Opening or Breaking Container.Breathing Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health.' Dispose in an approved landfill only. 32 R . M .

The removal of the identified asbestos containing mastic and associated floor tile will be removed in accordance with 310 CMR 7.09 (3) (4) (Dust, Odor, Construction, Demolition) and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Executive Office of Environmental Affairs, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Waste Prevention Policy # BWP-96-012. If the flooring material is deemed to be in a deteriorated state or not handled in accordance with this policy than removal activities shall be in accordance with 310 CMR 7.15 and 453 CMR 6.00 found in the Alternate I removal section. B. Pre-Removal Requirements: OSHA has determined that intact resilient floor covering materials can be removed under a"negative exposure assessment"in compliance with the revised standards by appropriately trained workers using the Recommended Work Practices. • Installers of resilient floor covering materials that plan to use the Recommended Work Practices outlined in the Document Recommended Work Practices for the Removal of Resilient Floor Covering. to remove intact and non-friable asbestos containing flooring materials are required to complete an 8-hr Training Program. • Employers must designate a Competent Person with at least 4 hours of additional training to be responsible for the health and safety of the workers at the floor removal job site • OSHA has determined that the competent person can make a "Negative Exposure Assessment" based upon data in the OSHA asbestos rulemaking record showing that use of the Recommended Work Practices during removal of intact flooring material consistently results in worker exposure below the levels permittedin the OSHA standards. C. Personal Air Sampling: Prior to the floor covering removal OSHA has determined that the competent person can make a "Negative Exposure Assessment" based upon data in the OSHA asbestos rulemaking record showing that use of the Recommended Work Practices during removal of intact flooring material consistently results in worker exposure below the levels permitted in the OSHA standards. D. Remedial Cleaning: Limited remedial cleaning of horizontal surfaces, ledges, and equipment will be required prior to masking and sealing operations of work areas. Cleaning will be done using HEPA vacuums and wet methods. Determinations of additional remedial cleaning will be made on the basis of hazard potential to workers and the outside environment relating to setup and masking and sealing operations. F. Regulated Area: Where other workers or persons may have access to the flooring removal worksite, the employer must establish a demarcated "Regulated Area" (e.g. using barrier tape or closing door to enclose a work area) and post Danger signs. 2.00- REMOVAL PROCEDURES A. The removal of regulated ACM resilient tile and adhesive in accordance with BWP-96-012 is as follows. I. Before removal vacuum the entire floor using a HEPA vacuum Resilant Flooring Removal Specification/Alternate Asbestos Abatement Specification Project No.208828/Document No.34288 McDonald House-Northampton Housing October,2007 NoJ rt m ton Massachusetts Page3 2. Mist floor tile with hand sprayer unless heat gun is to be used 3. Select area with the least amount of foot traffic to start removal of floor tiles. 4. Start removal by carefully wedging a short or long handled scraper in the seam of two adjoining tile and gradually forcing the edge of one tile up and away from the floor(all efforts must be made to keep tiles intact). 5. If in areas where the above methods due not remove the tiles, tiles may be heated with a hot air gun or radiant heat source until it penetrates through the tile and softens the adhesive. Tile does not need to be wetted if a heat gun is being used. 6. After tiles are removed place them, with out breakage into a heavy duty impermeable disposal bag or closed leak tight container. 7. Close bags of removed tile tightly and seal securely for disposal, Identify with an appropriate label stating, for example "Danger-Contains Asbestos. Avoid Opening or Breaking Container. Breathing Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health." Dispose in an approved landfill only. 8. To remove mastic in accordance with BWP-96-012 using the "wet-scraping" method, first moisten the area with water mixed with the specified liquid dishwashing detergent (loz detergent to 1gallon of water) to aid in wetting the adhesive. Make sure the area stays moist 9. Wet —scrape with a stiff bladed wall or floor scraper removing ridges and any loose adhesive, make sure the adhesive is kept wet. 10. Place loose adhesive residues into a heavy-duty impermeable trash bag or leak tight container with the appropriate label stating, for example "Danger-Contains Asbestos. Avoid Opening or Breaking Container. Breathing Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health."dispose in an approved landfill only. 11. Continue with steps 9 through 10 until the mastic is a thin, smooth film. 12. Clean the entire floor with the HEPA vacuum cleaner, used HEPA filters and cleaner bags should be removed according to manufactures instructions and placed into a heavy- duty impermeable trash bag or leak tight container with the appropriate label stating, for example "Caution-Contains Asbestos. Avoid Opening or Breaking Container. Breathing Asbestos is Hazardous to Your Health."dispose in an approved landfill only.

Work is to be performed in compliance with 310 CMR 7.09 (3) (4) (Dust, Odor, Construction, Demolition). If all flooring materials can be removed in accordance with the above referenced regulation than refer to the work practices in section 1.05 of this document. If at any time the floor tile becomes damaged or is deemed to be in a deteriorated state, work shall then be performed in accordance with 310 CMR 7.15 and MADOS 453 CMR 6.00. and be conducted as detailed in the Alternate Methods I section. Approximate locations and quantities referenced in this specification and related documents (Table 1) are guidelines for the convenience of the Contractor and are not guaranteed to be accurate. B. The Contractor shall verify the scope of work and determine all quantities involved. The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment and material necessary for removing and disposing all asbestos containing materials. It is the expectation of the Owner that all flooring will receive the specified treatment in an area when the Contractor agrees to undertake such work. No credit will be given for changes in the scope of work unless hidden conditions,other than those for which allowances exist, are revealed during the construction process. If any other materials are found which are suspected of containing asbestos,immediately notify ECS. 1.03 -ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS A. Laboratory data received from Dietz and Company Architects indicates that one sample of floor tile mastic (black) was collected from the McDonald House in Northampton, Massachusetts. The sample was collected by ATC associates, Inc and analyzed by AmeriSci Laboratories in February, 2007. Associated floor tiles must be also considered positive due to there contact with the mastic. The mastic was found to contain 15%Chrysotile. April 7, 2008 Dear McDonald House Resident: Beginning on April 22,we will be replacing floor tiles on the 2nd, 5's, 6th and 7th floor corridors, and in the elevator lobby and administrative area of the first floor. The 3`d and 4th floor corridors, all the apartments in the building and Community Room have had their floors replaced. We are replacing the old 9"by 9" green tiles,which are called Vinyl Asbestos Tile(VAT) with Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT)that are 1 foot squares. VAT contains asbestos fibers,which can be dangerous if inhaled. Obviously, no one can inhale a floor tile,but if the files flake or are ground up or sanded, there is a possibility that the asbestos can become "friable," which means that small fibers present can become airborne. In addition, the glue that holds down the tiles contains asbestos fibers that can become friable, as well. The danger from inhaling asbestos fibers in dust form requires long-term exposure to cause or compound injury Long-term exposure to asbestos has been linked to cancer and lung disease. (I'm familiar with the dangers of asbestos because my dad spent World War II working in a shipyard insulating submarines by spraying asbestos on the walls of the ship. If you imagine spraying white gloppy stuff on a wall with a fire hose, and having it bounce off the wall and dry on your clothes and body like Plaster of Paris, so that you wear it home with you very night for three years, you'll understand what the term 'long-term exposure' means.} Removal of asbestos is a serious business, and there are strict regulations regarding the removal of asbestos in any form. Even removal of VAT floor tile, where the extent of exposure in the worst possible circumstances is minimal given that the term of possible exposure is so brief requires strict adherence to safety protocol. Accordingly, as a result of the need to have the tiles replaced by people who are well-trained, we have hired a licensed asbestos removal contractor, RM Technologies, to remove and replace the floor tiles. Their work is overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. And at the end of each day, the NHA will have air quality samples taken to make sure that there is NO asbestos in the air that we all breathe in the building. The work at McDonald House will take about 5 days, with work done only on one floor each day. We will let you know when the work will be done on the corridor of your floor several days in advance of the work. During work on your floor you will not be allowed to remain in or return to your apartment from 8:30 AM until 4:30 PM while work is being done on your floor. In other words, on one day during the week of April 22 you will need to be out of your apartment for a full day. We will make coffee and doughnuts available in the Community Room and residents will receive a stipend so that you can buy lunch downtown or have a sandwich delivered. The reason you will need to be out of your apartment is because RM Technologies needs to seal off the apartment doors and elevators on that floor so there is no air flow. This "negative air" combined with wetting the floor down and carefully removing the tiles and glue prevents any asbestos fibers from getting in the air. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to stop by my office.

(ECS) has completed final visual inspection and air clearance testing by Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) at the above referenced location between the dates of April 28 and May 3, 2008. ECS also conducted one round of background air sampling on May 5,2008,in the small office/kitchenette area across from the public bathrooms. The inspections and subsequent air testing was conducted on the 15 , 2od,51h, 6", and 7th floor hallway areas in the McDonald Building, located at 49 Old South Street, in Northampton , Massachusetts. Removal consisted of approximately 2525 square feet of VAT. At the time of the final visual inspections, no visible debris was present. Background air samples were also collected in the small office/kitchenette area across from the public bathrooms after the completion of all abatement activities. The room that was sampled had been used as a storage area for the asbestos abatement equipment over the duration of the project. At the time of the background air sampling, no asbestos related equipment remained, ECS only observed office furniture within the room. Final PCM air samples and visual inspection passed the Massachusetts Department a e ofaLaboP drWolk Force Development air clearance standards (453 CMR 6.14(5)(a)(b)O. also passed the air clearance standards referenced above.
