Specifications include, but are not limited to: Vinyl Floor Tile & Associated Mastic Adhesive Removal: Utilize water delivered in a fine mist from a hose or garden sprayer during removal of the materials. The mist should cover the immediate removal areas and should not be excessive to a point where standing or ponding water is present. Remove materials in a manner that will minimize breakage. Materials should not be sanded or sawed. Upon removal, immediately place the ACMs and associated debris into a 6-mil bag with asbestos "Danger" labels on the outside surface, and seal the bag opening with tape. Remove the mastic adhesive by mechanical devices or use of a non-toxic mastic remover. After removal of the ACMs surface shall be wet-cleaned to remove residual accumulated material, After wet-cleaning, surface shall appear free to visible material. Pipe Insulation & Joint Compound Removal: Glove bag procedure: Open the appropriate side of the "glove bag" and insert the necessary removal tools into the attached pouch and seal the bag, over the section pipe insulation to be removed, with fiber tape and staples. The number of staples required will depend on the weight of the debris it must support. Cut open the side port to allow entry of water wand and HEPA vacuum hose and seal airtight. Finish sealing entire bag to pipe thoroughly with tape. Remove all insulation from the pipe contained within the bag without disturbing the bag-to-pipe seal. Care must be taken to minimize the dust generation by keeping the insulation wet with amended water. Wipe the now exposed piping with a scouring pad equivalent, to remove any residual asbestos fibers. All removal tools should be held in the gloves that can then be pulled outward from the bag. A piece of tape should be used to constrict the "sleeve" to create a bag for the tools made from the glove. The glove can then be cut off of the bag by cutting through the center of the tape, which will leave both the glove and the sleeve sealed to prevent asbestos fiber escape. This tool pouch is ready for insertion into the next glove bag or into a bucket of water if at day's end. Evacuate the bag of nearly all air with the suction from the HEPA vacuum while avoiding intake of water into the vacuum hose. Gather the bag into a tight bundle beneath the attachment point to the pipe and hold this together with fiber tape.
