Dear Carolyn:
I am writing this letter to you at the request of George Culver / Applied Abatement Concepts / to state
the Scope of Work / work practices to be used to remediate the soil contaminated with asbestos at the
proposed Bier Garden Site and to further explain the transfer of contaminated soil / 6500 sq ft / on the
north east side of the facility. This e document will serve as an Addendum to the February 2009 Site
Safety and Health Plan Removal and disposal of Asbestos Materials prepared by Applied Abatement
Concepts, LLC for the NC Music Factory.
Scope of Work / Bier Garden / Interior
Full containment able to handle a .02 negative pressure environment will be constructed to protect
public from fiber release while remediation is in progress. The containment will include a five stage
decontamination unit with a load out area. Air monitoring will be provided by Floyd Hayes and design is
being written by Raymond Childress (at Owner's expense). Site work will be done in accordance with the
Asbestos Abatement Project former Office Building prepared by Childress Environmental Consultant, Inc
dated December 2010. We will follow the designer's plan to abate the following:
* Approximately 1485 cubic feet of asbestos contaminating soil
Scope of Work / Bier Garden / Exterior
We will be excavating approximately 24" of contaminated soil from a 6500 sq ft area on the exterior
north east side of the proposed Bier Garden. Excavate contaminated soil for trench for gas line 285’l x
2’w x 40” d. Excavate contaminated soil for trench for plumbing line 150’l x 6”w x 24” d. Excavate
contaminated soil for dumpster 20’w x 17’l x 6” deep (under asphalt). Excavate contaminated soil 20’w
x 25’l x 24”d for dumpster pad (all dirt). Excavate contaminated soil for concrete ramp 10’w x 12’l x 30”
deep. Excavate contaminated soil under sidewalk 40’l x 4’wx 8”deep.
*Approximately 20,547 cubic feet of asbestos contaminated soil.
Proposed Scope
Contaminated soil will be kept wet with fire hoses and placed inside of a dump truck by a loader. The
dump bed will be lined with 6 mil poly and transported to the location of the berm on site. The soil will
then be encapsulated with a geotextile liner and covered with 8” compacted of clean fill. The geotextile
liner specifications will meet or exceed the previously installed liner, Geotex 401 non-woven liner
manufactured by Synthetic Industrie. The berm will be built and graded so that the area drains properly
so that there will be no water ponding in the area. Also, seed and straw will be placed over the berm to
ensure proper vegetation to prevent exposure. Workers from the building exterior enter the clean room
then the holding area to remove decontaminated equipment and/or containers for disposal. Require
these workers to wear full protective clothing and respiratory protection as described in Section 01562 of
the Asbestos Abatement Plan that was submitted.
Work Practices
Work will be done in accordance with the February 2009 Site Safety and Health Plan and the Asbestos
Abatement Plan that was submitted by Applied Abatement Concepts, LLC and the December 2010
Asbestos Abatement Project former Office Building prepared by Childress Enviromental, Inc. Employees
will wear disposable coveralls, half-face masks, gloves, and headwear. Employees will be licensed
asbestos workers and one licensed asbestos supervisor will be onsite at all times while work is being
completed. Workers from the building exterior enter the clean room then the holding area to remove
decontaminated equipment and/or containers for disposal. Require these workers to wear full
protective clothing and respiratory protection as described in Section 01562.
Air sampling (backgrounds prior to removal) have been requested per the 20096 sSection 8 Air
Monitoringplan. Childress Environmental, Inc. will be performing the work for the Music Factory as they
are working for them.
Barriers will be constructed around the entire work area as depicted in the site plan, using stakes driven
into the ground as far away as possible from the work areas. The work area will be all area around the
building except the asphalted area. Asbestos tape will be hung from the stakes to create a barricade and
signs in Spanish and English will be attached. The interior work will have all entrances barricaded with
asbestos tape and signs and the doors will be watched to pre vent entry by unauthorized personnel.
The work is estimated to take no more than 10 working days / weather permitting / for the exterior
scope but may take less time if all goes very smoothly.
All state and federal regulations will be adhered to while soil is being handled including licensed
supervisors and workers and proper permits / notifications.
Thank you for your time. If you have any further questions, comments or concerns please contact
George Culver @803-242-0000 or Brandon Beaver in the office at 704-730-0701.
