1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE ABATEMENT AND DEMOLITION WORK PLAN

National Demolition Contractors (NDC) has prepared this Abatement, Demolition and Site Restoration Work Plan, hereafter referred to as the Work Plan, for the purpose of providing a detailed description of abatement (asbestos containing materials and regulated building materials), demolition, limited soil excavation activities that NDC will be implementing during on-site activities at the Coast Citrus Building Demolition Project. This Work Plan has been prepared in accordance with the Contract Specifications for the Abatement, Demolition, and Limited Soil Excavation at the Coast Citrus Building Demolition Project. The procedures described in the Work Plan comply with industry standards and Federal, State, and local governing regulations.

1.2SITE LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION

The project site is located at Pier F, Berth F-208, Port of Long Beach CA. The facility consists of a former commercial refrigeration building. The building contains one main 2 story warehouse section and a one-story office area. The total floor space encompasses approximately 66,000 square feet. The work site is located within Port of Long Beach. 1.3GENERAL WORK ACTIVITY OVERVIEW

NDC shall provide all labor, equipment, supplies and services to complete the Abatement, Demolition and Limited Soil Excavation at the former Coast Citrus Building Site. The project will be completed in a series of stages following the Preconstruction and planning phase that includes the submittal of Work Plans, Schedules, Notifications and Certifications. Furthermore, during this phase NDC will coordinate and confirm all utility disconnections at the site.

Stage 1: Abatement Activities

Project activities will involve the abatement, removal / segregation, loading, preparation and transportation of all fixtures, equipment, or materials from the Coast Citrus facility for disposal at an approved disposal facility. Materials for proper handling and disposal may include:

Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM)Lead-Based Paint and Lead HazardsPolychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) MaterialsMercury Containing FixturesBatteriesFreon (CFCs)Smoke Detectors and Emergency Exit SignsZinc & Lead Dust Containing Filters and DustStored Liquids and Solid Materials

Stage 2: Demolition Activities

Project activities will involve the demolition, preparation, loading and transportation for off-site disposal of the building structure and certain site features including:

Roof, Ceiling, Walls, and Partitions, etc.Above grade structures, floor slabs, foundationsAt grade Walls, floor slabs and foundations including top sections of existing PilesPits, Sumps, separations, drain line laterals and all pipes, pumps and mechanical equipment

Following the completion of all site activities, NDC will prepare and submit a written summary of the work performed. NDC will also confirm that The Port of Long Beach has received copies of all waste management paperwork.

1.4PERSONNEL HEALTH & SAFETY

NDC considers safety and the prevention of accidents an integral part of its operation. Under Federal, State and local law, NDC is responsible to provide training and a safe working environment, to protect life, health and safety of its employees and subcontractor personnel. Although providing safe working conditions is primarily a management responsibility, safety and accident prevention can be accomplished only through coordinated efforts of all employees and subcontractor personnel. It is the policy of NDC for this project as with all of our projects, that if the task or service being undertaken cannot be done safely, that work is to be stopped until proper controls can be established.

NDC has completed a Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP) for the completion of this project that can be reviewed at any time from the NDC Site Superintendent. Every worker on the Project Site will be required to follow the SSSP for the duration of the project. In addition, NDC will hold weekly tailgate meetings prior to work commencement. These meetings are designed to discuss the projected work schedule and prepare each worker for any potential hazards associated with the days work activities. A copy of the daily or weekly safety meeting logs will be maintained onsite at all times. All personnel attending the safety meeting will be required to sign the safety meeting log upon completion of the tailgate safety meeting. During the tailgate meetings, personnel will be reminded of site conditions and are encouraged to participate with health and safety concerns.

NDC has prepared the SSSP as required to be utilized as a stand-alone reference document and is therefore not included as a part of this Work Plan.

2.0PRECONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES & MOBILIZATION

2.1DECONTAMINATION, DEMOLITION, AND REMEDIATION SUBMITTALS

Abatement, demolition, and remediation of the Coast Citrus facility will be completed under the direction of the Port of Long Beach. The following information, plans, and/or programs will be required and utilized during the completion of the proposed project.

2.1.1Detailed Construction Schedule

The detailed construction schedule includes durations and milestones for all activities anticipated during decontamination, asbestos abatement; structure demolition and salvage; and environmental remediation. The schedule will be updated on a bimonthly basis to reflect scheduling changes, delays, and/or improvements.

2.1.2 Site-Specific Safety Plan

A site-specific Safety Plan (SSSP) has been developed for this project. NDCs Standard Operating Procedures incorporate the requirements specified by Federal, State, and local regulations, specifically CFR 29, CFR40, and CFR49. Tailgate safety meetings will be held weekly for every shift; during new phases of operation; at the time new personnel are introduced to the site; and when site conditions warrant such meetings. These meetings will identify potential workplace hazards and problems so that appropriate control measures can be implemented. The SSSP will establish procedures and address emergencies that may arise during all site activities, and a listing of all contract personnel with phone numbers will be included in the SSSP.

The purpose of the SSSP is the protection of personnel and the environment on-site, as well as the general public and environment in adjacent properties and neighborhoods. The site-specific SSSP will be enforced within site boundaries at all times. Specific health and safety issues related to the former Facility, will be identified by a NDC Site Safety Representative.

For those employees required to be certified to participate in abatement and environmental activities, employee certifications will be kept on file with the NDC Site Superintendent.

Lead Compliance Plan

Included within is NDCs Lead Stabilization / Abatement Plan that is meant to provide a detailed description of lead-based paint abatement activities that NDC will implement for this project, if required. NDC shall be responsible for mitigation of potential environmental and construction hazards resultant from the presence of lead dust or fumes. The activities that have a potential to emit lead dust or fumes include torch cutting and burning, and the welding process. Specific task related engineering controls and personal protection measures will be implemented to reduce the potential for lead exposure during the construction and demolition activities.

2.1.5Storm Water Pollution Prevention and Erosion Control Plan

NDC will utilize a Storm Water Prevention (SWPP) that includes the requirements and prevention procedures to be utilized and enforced during all work activities to control storm and wash water and prevent sediment erosion.

2.2GENERAL PERMITTING AND NOTIFICATION

Prior to mobilization on-site, NDC will contact the regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over the work activities and acquire all necessary permits and make the necessary notifications for the performance of the work. Copies of permits will be maintained and will be submitted to The Port of Long Beach in the Closeout Project Report.

2.3MOBILIZATION

Following the preconstruction activities, NDC will make preparations for and begin mobilizing to the Coast Citrus Facility. One of the first items to be accomplished will be to establish work areas. Equipment and materials necessary to complete the project will be moved to the facility and staged at locations within the facility. In addition the following work areas will be established:

ACM/Chemical Personnel Decontamination Areas;ACM/Chemical Equipment Decontamination Areas;Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste Staging/Storage Areas;Equipment and Supplies Lay down Areas; Demolition Salvage Staging and Loading Areas.

The work areas listed above, as well as other tasks that will be conducted during progression of this project, are described in the following sections.2.3.1 Personnel Decontamination Areas

Personnel decontamination areas will be established for work activities that may expose workers to unique safety hazards and/or hazardous levels of chemicals and waste materials. These requirements will be used to determine appropriate personnel protective equipment (PPE) that will be used in each of the separate work areas during each phase of work. Required PPE, decontamination procedures and personnel decontamination equipment will be utilized during the abatement activities.

2.3.2 Equipment Decontamination Areas

Equipment decontamination areas will also be established as required. Chemical decontamination will occur in different areas to prevent commingling of waste streams. These areas will be used for the cleaning of light and heavy equipment used during decontamination activities. All decontamination equipment will be cleaned in these areas before leaving the facility.

Staging and laydown areas will be identified throughout the facility which best compliment the completion of the decontamination activities. 2.3.4 Demolition Salvage Staging and Loading Areas

Several demolition salvage, staging and loading areas will be established for cleaned material and equipment. These areas will be accessible to expedite loading and transport activities. Surface cover in these areas will be durable enough to withstand storage and movement of heavy scrap material without breaking apart and creating difficulties when loading the material or impacting the areas.

2.4UTILITY SYSTEMS IDENTIFICATION AND DE-ENERGIZING

Prior to the initiation of any field work, existing facility utilities and process piping systems will be identified. These procedures will be conducted with NDC crews and with the assistance of the designated Port operations person. It will be necessary to confirm all of the utilities are de-energized in all areas of the building prior to abatement and dismantling.

Procedures will generally include the following objectives:

Lock-out (close, disconnect, plug, and/or blank) and tagging valves;Lock-out and tagging, or disconnection of electrical systems;Capping/plugging of sewer and storm water lines as necessaryDocumentation of utility caps on facility maps.

2.5SITE SECURITY

NDC understands that the facility is currently surrounded by security fencing that will prevent unauthorized individuals access to the site. NDC will control access to work areas during operating hours through the monitoring of (2) ingress/egress locations. During off-hours, sensitive work areas will be cordoned off with temporary barricades, delineators and caution tape.

2.6TEMPORARY FACILITIES AND CONSTRUCTION CONTROL

NDC will establish temporary facilities and construction control procedures to be implemented at the project site. Adequate sanitary facilities, fences, barricades and scaffolding will be provided as needed. Storage for tools, light equipment and appropriate signs will also be provided. Temporary services will be coordinated with the Port Representative for existing and future construction activities, demolition activities, and site traffic.

2.6.1Traffic Control

Given the contaminant and volume (i.e., approximately 1,700 tons) of soil that will be removed, the impacted soil will be loaded from the stockpile areas into transportation vehicles. It is anticipated that approximately 46 transport truckloads will be needed to haul the impacted soil from the facility. This estimate is based on each truckload weighing 23 tons.

Onsite traffic control will be the responsibility of the NDC onsite project manager. The coordination of the transportation of impacted soils will be facilitated on a daily basis and arrangements for transport vehicles will be schedule as needed. The average on-site time for the loading of impacted soils will be 30-45 minutes. This will involve, manifesting, loading, tarping, and removal of dust or dirt which may have accumulated on the vehicles. This cleaning activity will be conducted on those trucks leaving the facility with impacted soils. In the event that trucks require staging, a location will be utilized outside of the project site.

2.7 COMPANY PRECONSTRUCTION MEETING

Once NDC has established temporary support and project controls at the Coast Citrus Building project site, NDC Project Management will coordinate an onsite company pre-construction meeting to detail the proposed work activities and project scheduling.

2.8 INTERIM DELIVERABLES

Once NDC has established operations at the facility, NDC Project Management will provide for ongoing documentation of daily activities during an organized weekly meeting between NDC Project Management, supporting subcontractors and Port of Long Beach personnel and/or representatives. Weekly information to be discussed includes:Daily Work Activities2-week Look Ahead ScheduleProject LogsWaste Disposal Documentation

3.0ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS

NDC will provide the removal of asbestos containing materials in house from the facility. The following details NDCs approach for asbestos abatement. Please note that all asbestos abatement activities will be performed in accordance with the Local, State and Federal Regulations and OHSA standards.

3.1GENERAL

3.1.1Pre-Abatement Inspection

NDCs policy, prior to beginning any work area preparation, is to coduct a thorough walk-through of the intended work areas to identify existing conditions of the work areas. During the inspection, any structural or finished surface defects will be documented as a means of determining whether the abatement activity had a negative impact on the building after it has been completed.

Contingency Plans

In the event of any emergency such as fire, earthquake, worker injury, etc., a Contingency Plan will be followed to ensure the rapid communication of an emergency situation to project members to affect a swift and safe evacuation of the work area until the emergency has subsided.

NDC will take all necessary precautions to avoid accidents within the work place by anticipating their causes. To prevent the possibility of fire, our team utilizes temporary lighting with protective lens cages, strategic placement of fire extinguishers, Ground Fault Circuit Interruption and worker training. In the event of a fire outside of the work area, an air horn will be sounded by the abatement employee until all employees have vacated the work area. If there is ample time, workers will attempt decontamination through misting or wetting procedures before exiting the work area.

In the event of an earthquake, no matter how intense, workers are instructed to exit the work area due to the possibility of power outages, contamination of the shower water source by ruptured sewage lines and possible structural damage. If possible, before leaving, the entrance to the decontamination facility will be taped shut to prevent fiber migration if power to the negative air units is lost. Once it has been confirmed that the structure is safe to re-enter, the workers will do so and resume abatement work.

Should a worker be injured inside containment, NDC will take the appropriate course of action depending upon the type of injury involved. For example, if a worker suffers a fall, the team will determine whether the employee can exit the containment under his/her own power. If not, a stretcher or equivalent device will be employed to remove the worker. Decontamination of the worker will be attempted through wetting and misting until emergency personnel arrive. If a worker is stricken with heat stress, the worker will be removed from the work area and given adequate fluids until his/her body temperature has returned to normal. Whenever possible, first aid will be administered from the OSHA approved kit maintained on-site. In order to obtain swift emergency service assistance from the police, fire department or local hospital, a list of emergency telephone numbers will be posted at the facility and with the Project Superintendent.

3.2ABATEMENT DOCUMENTATION

3.2.1Daily Entry Logs

From the moment the work areas are declared "under containment," all workers and authorized visitors are required to sign an entry log upon entering and exiting the containment or work area. Copies of these logs will be provided to the Health & Safety Manager at the end of each shift.

3.2.2 Daily Employee Exposure Monitoring

Each day one personal air monitoring sample will be taken for each separate work space and procedure.

3.2.3 Event Reports

Any incident involving aberrant behavior on the behalf of project personnel will be considered an event to be documented and investigated until resolved. NDC will document worker behavior (e.g. insubordination) for internal purposes and similar information can be presented to THE PORT OF LONG BEACH upon request.

3.2.4Accident Reports

NDC will thoroughly document all accidents regardless of the degree of injuries sustained for Worker Compensation and internal record keeping purposes. All information leading up to the cause and description of each accident will be documented and will be presented to the Health & Safety Director.

3.2.5 Discovered Condition Reports

If, in the course of abatement activity, a condition is uncovered which significantly affects the scope of work, a report will be completed by the supervisor documenting the extent of the condition, materials involved and any related information. All information recorded will be presented to The Port Representative for verification.

3.2.6 Site Visitors

All visitors will be requested to sign an entry log upon entering and exiting the containment. Visitors will be required to provide written documentation verifying all medical examinations, awareness, medical training and respiratory fit tests have been performed.

When an injury occurs, team members will stop work and implement fiber reduction techniques (e.g., water spraying) until the injured person has been removed from the work area.

NDC will post a site safety plan, specific to the facilities on the property, which will include provisions for emergency evacuation from regulated work areas.

3.4.1.3 Asbestos Waste Disposal Procedures

It will be the responsibility of NDC to dispose of all asbestos waste generated from the abatement activities at the site. NDC will handle the removal of waste from the site, as well as disposal, and manifesting of all waste. NDC will be responsible for handling, packaging, and labeling all waste bags or containers in compliance with the regulations. Only a licensed hazardous waste hauler and designated landfill site will be utilized, conforming to 40 CFR 61.156.

NDC will coordinate the placement of containers to facilitate removal of waste from the facility. Abatement personnel will be responsible for lining each container with six-mil poly sheeting on floor and walls prior to waste loading.

Waste Packaging: All waste material will be promptly placed in 6-mil polyethylene bags or wrapping in 6 mil polyethylene as it is generated. A sufficient number of waste bags and or sheeting will be located in the immediate work area, and in the equipment room. Packaged waste will be moved from the work area and placed directly in properly prepared waste dumpsters.

Waste Labeling: Warning labels, having waterproof print and permanent adhesive, in compliance with OSHA, EPA and DOT requirements, will be affixed to or printed on the sides of all waste bags or transfer containers.

Wetting of Waste: A fine water spray will be used to keep waste in containers thoroughly wet at all times. When a waste bag is full, it will be securely sealed with tape or other secure fastener.

Waste Container Decontamination and Removal Procedures: The following minimum procedures will be followed whenever containers or equipment are removed from the work area through the Waste Decontamination Facility.

The clean room will be considered a holding area only during the period of active waste transfer for the purpose of the loading of carts or drums.

Waste removal will not occur during worker shift changes or when workers are showering or changing. Care will be taken to prevent short circuiting and cycling of air outward through the shower and clean room when used for waste removal.

Workers will be stationed in each room of the waste decontamination facility to transfer the containers and equipment to or from adjacent sections. These workers will not cross the air locks into the adjacent rooms until the waste or equipment transfer is finished for that period and the workers have gone through decontamination. The workers in the clean room or holding area will enter from uncontaminated areas with appropriate personal protective equipment; or prior to the start of waste transfer, these workers will exit the work area, fully decontaminated, and subsequently don clean personal protective equipment.

External surfaces of contaminated containers and equipment will be cleaned by wet cleaning and/or HEPA-vacuuming in the work area before moving such items into the decontamination facility airlock. Workers will not enter the airlock during this procedure.

The containers of waste and the equipment will be removed from the airlock by workers stationed in the washroom during waste removal operations.

The cleaned containers of waste and equipment will be placed in uncontaminated leak-tight plastic bags (or 6-mil sheeting if physical characteristics necessitate and permit). Air volumes will be minimized, and the bags or sheeting will be sealed. Items that may puncture or tear the plastic bags or sheeting will be placed in a hard wall container such as a drum, and then be sealed.

The clean re-containerized items will be moved into the airlock for subsequent transfer to the holding area. The decontamination room workers will not enter this airlock or the work area until waste removal is finished for the period.

Re-containerized items and cleaned equipment will be removed from the airlock to the holding area by workers who have entered from uncontaminated areas with appropriate personal protective equipment.

The re-containerized items of waste and cleaned, bagged equipment will be placed in open top, watertight plastic carts. These carts will be held in the holding area pending removal. The carts will be HEPA-vacuumed and wet-cleaned following the removal of the containers of waste from them.

Waste Transportation and Disposal: NDC will comply with the current waste handling regulations applicable to each work site.3.4.2Products

3.4.6Asbestos Removal Under General Containment Procedures:

This section covers the removal of:

Asbestos-containing thermal system insulationAsbestos- containing Flooring and associated masticsAsbestos containing Transite Panels

Amended water (wetting agent), mixed and carefully applied using an airless sprayer or Hudson sprayer as specified by the manufacturer, will continuously be used to control the release of asbestos fibers from the friable material prior to and during removal. The amended water will be applied in sufficient quantity to fully penetrate and saturate the friable material prior to its removal.

Control procedures will be implemented as previously described.

Removal Methods (when applicable):

Abatement personnel will wear respirators and protective clothing as previously described throughout all removal, cleanup, and waste handling operations.

After large areas of the asbestos material have been fully wetted and tested, the asbestos will be carefully removed in sections by hand using scrapers or other suitable tools.

As the material is removed, it will be promptly wetted and packed into impermeable, labeled 6-mil polyethylene disposal bags or wrapped in polyethylene sheeting. When each bag is full or material wrapped the packaged material will be sprayed with amended water, sealed and transported to a temporary storage area inside of the work area.

The friable material will be repeatedly sprayed to prevent it from drying out.

Once the majority of the asbestos is removed, the substrate surface will be cleaned with the appropriate tools, and a water spray, and then thoroughly washed to remove all remaining material.

After obtaining approval of the cleaning, abatement personnel will seal all substrate surfaces from which asbestos material was removed with at least one (1) coat of an approved penetrating encapsulant.

Contamination of the work area floor, the exterior of disposal containers, and all other surfaces within the work area will be minimized. At the end of each shift, all surfaces will be cleaned of all materials and then HEPA-vacuumed or wet mopped.

The decontamination facility will be wet cleaned using wet cleaning methods upon completion of any waste removal.

The decontamination facility will be wet cleaned and HEPA-vacuumed, as appropriate, after each shift change.

3.4.7Asbestos Removal of Class I, Thermal System Insulation as a Whole (Primary Procedure)

This section covers the removal of asbestos-containing thermal system joint or pipe insulation as a whole, where full containment procedures are not feasible.

Amended water (wetting agent), mixed and carefully applied using an airless sprayer as specified by the manufacturer, will continuously be used to control the release of asbestos fibers from the friable material prior to and during removal. The amended water will be applied in sufficient quantity to fully penetrate and saturate the friable material before it is removed. Wetting will commence prior to removal work to ensure effective saturation.

Worker protection will be one-half face negative pressure respirators with dual HEPA-cartridges, and a full body tyvek coveralls for preparation, removal, and final cleaning.

Removal Methods:

Removal workers will wear respirators and protective clothing as previously described throughout all removal, clean up, and waste handling operations.

Place a large 6-mil drop cloth beneath the pipe which will be removed.

Utilizing the glove bag procedures, abate the thermal system insulation from the ends of a manageable section of an insulated pipe to be removed intact.

Double wrap the pipe and thermal system insulation with 6-mil plastic and seal seams with duct tape and spray glue.

Carefully cut the pipe and lower to the ground.

Seal the ends with duct tape and spray glue and label the pipe.

3.4.8Asbestos Removal Using Glove-Bag Technique (Secondary Procedure)

This section covers the removal of asbestos-containing thermal system joint or pipe insulation from above ceiling level or in Hi-Bay areas, using glove bag removal technique, where full containment procedures are not feasible.Amended water mixed and carefully applied using an airless sprayer as specified by the manufacturer, will continuously be used to control the release of asbestos fibers from the friable material prior to and during removal. The amended water will be applied in sufficient quantity to fully penetrate and saturate the friable material before it is removed. Wetting will commence prior to removal work to ensure sufficient saturation.

Worker protection will be one-half face negative pressure respirators with dual HEPA-cartridges, and full body tyvek coveralls for preparation, removal, and final cleaning.

Removal Method for Thermal System Insulation:

Install glove-bag at each removal location. Ensure that glovebag is sealed 6" on either side of asbestos containing joint or pipe insulation. Insert HEPA-vacuum into glovebag port to create negative pressure containment inside the bag.

Wet the material inside the bag using amended water.

After the material has been thoroughly wetted, carefully slice the insulation lengthwise, parallel to the pipe. Remove insulation and allow to fall to the bottom of the bag. All contaminated pipe insulation inside the glovebag removal area must be removed.

Apply adequate amended water to ensure the waste remains wet at all times.

Thoroughly scrub pipe to completely remove all insulation. Continue misting the pipe and inside of the glove-bag during detail cleaning work.

Clean inside of glove-bag by misting and wiping sides of bag and moving all debris to bottom of bag. Mist exposed pipe sections or joints with encapsulant.

Remove the bag from the cleaned pipe as follows: remove air from the bag using a HEPA vacuum inserted into a side port; gather bag in the center just under the pipe; twist bag and seal around twisted neck portion; hold clean waste container under bag and cut through sealed neck dropping bag directly into clean waste container; remove top portion of bag from pipe; and seal waste container.

Thoroughly clean removal area by HEPA vacuuming and wet wiping. Dispose of poly sheeting covering adjacent surfaces. All waste will be double-bagged and placed in properly labeled asbestos waste bags.

Workers will dispose of protective clothing after HEPA-vacuuming tyvek suits.

3.4.9Asbestos Removal Roof Penetration Mastics

Removal workers will wear respirators and protective clothing as previously described throughout all removal, clean up, and waste handling operations.

Apply adequate amended water to ensure the waste remains wet at all times

Utilizing hand tools the area containing the roof mastic will be cut out or scraped clean and placed in 6 mil poly bags

The area of removal will be cleaned to remove any residual material and encapsulatedThe bags of debris will be lowered from the roof and carefully placed in the waste container

3.4.10Final Inspection and Testing

Following the satisfactory completion of abatement activities, work area isolation barriers will be disassembled and will be properly disposed of as contaminated waste.

3.5WORKER PROTECTION

The health and safety of abatement personnel is of extreme importance. Therefore, all workers assigned to the abatement crew will be trained and certified.

3.5.1Hazardous Waste Workers

General site workers (such as equipment operators, laborers and supervisory personnel) have received 40 hours of instruction under the direct supervision of a trained experience supervisor. Other workers on site (unlikely to be exposed to permissible limits) have received 32 hours of instruction.Annually, general site workers and managers/supervisors must receive eight hours of refresher training on respective subjects.

3.5.2Report of Medical Examinations

All asbestos workers will have had a current medical examination on file. The report includes pulmonary function tests and chest x-rays (if applicable).

3.5.3Personnel Air Sample Results

NDC will utilize a certified laboratory to conduct OSHA personnel sample analysis of samples collected within each work area.

3.5.4Protective Clothing

NDC both provides and requires the use of protective clothing, such as coveralls or similar whole-body clothing, head covering, gloves, and foot coverings for any employee exposed to airborne concentrations of asbestos, tremolite, anthophyllite, actinolite or a combination of these minerals that exceed the permissible exposure limit. Protective clothing is disposable. Hard hats and safety shoes as required by safety regulations will be provided.

Protective clothing for removal, demolition, and renovation operations is issued prior to entering the work area. Employees are encouraged to strengthen "problem areas" of disposable coveralls at the beginning of each shift. The competent person periodically examines work suits worn by employees for rips or tears that occur during performances of work.

When rips or tears are detected while an employee is working within a negative-pressure enclosure, rips and tears are immediately mended, or the work suit immediately replaced.

Reusable footwear, hard hats, and eye protection devices will be left in the Contaminated Equipment Room until the end of the asbestos abatement work, at which time they will be disposed of as ACM waste or transferred to another work area.

All disposable protective clothing will be discarded and disposed of as asbestos waste every time the wearer exits from the work space to the outside through decontamination facilities.

3.5.5Enclosures, Showers and Toilets (Decontamination Facilities)

Decontamination facilities will be located within the area to be abated.

The Decontamination Enclosure System for workers and visitors will consist of three adjoining rooms. Clean Room at entrance followed by a Shower Room followed by an Equipment Room leading to the Work Area.

The facility will be installed prior to erecting protective coverings and before disturbing any ACM.

The Decontamination Facility will be constructed using PVC framing and one layer of 6-mil poly sheeting attached to the ceiling framing. The interior surfaces of the walls, floor, and roof will then be covered with an additional layer of 6-mil poly sheeting sealed water and airtight with duct tape at all overlapping seams. All joints are to be seamless.

The entire floor will be covered with two (2) layers of 6-mil poly sheeting turned up 12-16" on the wall layers.

An Air Lock is a system permitting ingress and egress without permitting air movement. It consists of two curtained doorways at least eight feet apart where space permits. Each curtained doorway will be constructed by placing three overlapping sheets of plastic over a framed doorway, securing each along the top of the doorway. The middle sheet will be secured on the other side of the doorway. There are no swinging/closing doors between airlocks. The doors (curtains) will be approximately three (3) feet wide.

NDC will provide uncontaminated disposable protective clothing and equipment in sufficient quantities for all workers and visitors. This room will be used by workers and visitors to change from street clothes to disposable protective clothing and gear prior to entering into the contaminated area, and to dress into street clothing after they have showered and dried in the shower room as they exit from the contaminated area.

NDC will provide in shower room showering facilities with running water to arranged as to provide complete showering of workers and visitors as they exit from the contaminated area. Connect the shower water drains to a leak-proof pump and commercially manufactured filtering system consisting of at least three (3) filters in series, including a one (1) micron final filter, and an adequately-sized pump. Discharge from this system will be to a location coordinated with the Project Manager.

4.1UTILITIES

4.1.1Domestic Water

The piping run(s) to be drained and removed will be located and marked to facilitate pipe decommissioning. The specific piping unit will be severed and drained utilizing safety and standard removal procedures. NDC will cap the water lines near the completion of the demolition phase. Utilizing existing utility drawings, the water valve which will render a particular area of concern non-operational will be located and identified. The valve will be shut by physically closing the gate valve, however; if that is not feasible, an alternative method that effectively caps the subject line will be utilized once approved by the project inspector.

Upon completion of draining and capping operations, lines will be left in place for removal during the general demolition. The piping will be staged and disposed as required based on the type of material.

4.1.2Natural Gas

Natural gas piping to be evacuated and removed will be located and marked. Disconnection of the isolated piping will proceed utilizing all safety and standard removal procedures for the piping. As scheduled by the Project Manager, the disconnection of the natural gas supply will be completed within the general work area of demolition. The Project Manager will coordinate with the local Gas Company for its abandonment.

NDC personnel will evaluate each system to determine if the piping will be recycled or salvaged. Salvageable items will be removed following general demolition. Recycled piping will be staged in designated areas for eventual sizing and scrap recycling.

4.1.3Sewer Lines

The existing sewer drain line will be excavated by NDC for off-site disposal. The line will be capped by NDC. Upon the completion of the capping activities the location of the sewer cap will be recorded on the as-built plan, backfilled and compacted as required in the project specifications.

4.2REGULATED BUILDING MATERIALS

4.2.1Mercury Containing Items

Disconnection of the isolated item will proceed utilizing all safety and standard removal procedures for the mercury-containing item. Personnel will proceed to carefully remove mercury-containing equipment such as thermostats, thermometers or light switches. The item will be isolated and the wires clipped or housing dismantled and the removed glass ampoules will be placed in 2-gallon spill proof plastic container containing several inches of absorbent media. This media will cushion the ampoules during facility transportation.

Upon completion of the days activities, the 2-gallon spill proof plastic container will then be taken to the temporary waste storage area for proper packaging. When personnel have removed all mercury items from the facility, the remaining void space in the container will be filled with absorbent. The lid will then be secured and the drum labeled with the generator information and proper shipping name. The mercury waste stream will be staged for eventual transportation and disposal to an approved disposal/recycling facility. Mercury spill kit will be made available to all site personnel involved in the removal of mercury containing items.

Mercury waste will be labeled with the standard HAZARDOUS WASTE label, with the description of Mercury Contained in Manufactured Articles, 8, UN2809, P.G.III, (Mercury). This labeling and manifest description will be required for any shipment of drummed Mercury waste.

4.2.2Freon (CFC) Removal It is the intent of NDC to salvage for resale or reuse the package unit type AC units, coolers, ect. The remaining systems which are really not practical for reuse will be properly evacuated in order to recover the CFCs. The following are the procedures that will be utilized to perform these tasks.The specific item containing chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) (i.e. air conditioning units and chillers) will be located and accessed for recovery. The CFC containing equipment will be disconnected utilizing the proper safety and standard removal procedures. Air conditioners and chillers will be disconnected from their power sources. This severance of utility lines includes, but is not limited to, electrical, sewer, water and gas (if applicable).

The access service valve(s) will be located for mating with the CFC evacuation system unit. NDC will provide certified refrigerant recovery personnel to facilitate evacuation and recovery of the refrigerant. The removal of the CFC will be performed by accessing the HVAC system. The CFC refrigerant is then removed under vacuum, separated and condensed into a liquid, which is then pumped into the certified cylinder tank. The tank is protected against overfilling by a float switch, which is located within the condenser unit. Compressor oil, if any, which is accumulated during CFC removal will be containerized in 5-gallon plastic spill-proof containers labeled HVAC compressor oil and at the end of each work day the accumulated oil will be consolidated in a DOT approved 55-gallon 17H steel drum for off-site recycling.

Personnel removing CFCs from units located on roofs, or aboveground, will utilize scaffolding or motorized lifts to assist in handling the recovery operations as well as the handling of empty and/or full cylinders. During handling of these tanks with motorized lifts, tanks will be chained to the lift basket and secured to prevent tanks from becoming dislodged and impaired. Fall protection procedures will be utilized pursuant to the project. During temporary storage, cylinders will be secured by lock and chain to eliminate the chance for cylinder damage.

Prior to shipment of any refrigerant cylinders, a sample label will be submitted to The Port of Long Beach for review. After being labeled, the tank will be transported to the temporary waste storage until shipment is arranged. NDC personnel will document on an internal waste removal log, the quantity in pounds of CFCs recovered from the various units. Once the unit is cleared, the unit will be tagged with an agreed upon colored tag indicating CFCs Removed. If said equipment can be sold as a packaged unit, any operating fluids included with the machinery will not be removed prior to sell. The NDC will utilize purchase agreements with provisions to include these items, if approved by The Port of Long beach.

4.2.3Smoke Detector Removal

The smoke detectors to be removed will be located, identified, and cleared of all obstructions. Disconnection of the isolated smoke detector will proceed utilizing all safety and standard removal procedures. This will include disconnecting the electrical feed to the section of the building where the removals are taking place. The electrical wires feeding the isolated smoke detector will be clipped, and the unit removed. No attempt will be made to open the sealed canister containing the radioactive component.

The removed smoke detectors will be placed into manufacture provided boxes suitable for the shipping of the smoke detector devices. Drums will not be used for shipment of smoke detectors. The box will contain 35 to 40 devices with each device being placed into a sealable plastic bag as recommended by the manufacturer. Boxes will be labeled Smoke Detectors and secured in the temporary waste storage area. NDC will notify the THE PORT OF LONG BEACH representative as to the quantity of containers. Shipment will be in compliance with DOT regulations and manufacturers recommendations.

Personnel will be instructed on the type and style of radioactive smoke detectors. If other detectors are discovered, this will be brought to the attention of the NDC Project Manager. Personnel performing other site work will be made aware of detectors of concern during tailgate meetings by discussion and pictures. If detectors are encountered during subsequent site work, the units will be removed as outlined above.

4.2.4Self Luminous Exit Signs (if encountered)

The self-luminous exit signs to be removed will be located, identified, and cleared of all obstructions. Disconnection of the signs will proceed utilizing all safety and standard removal procedures. This will include disconnecting the electrical feed to the section of the building where the removals are taking place. The unit will be unbolted from the wall. No attempt will be made to open the body of the exit sign and precautions will be taken by personnel to ensure that the sign is not dropped.

Removed exit signs will be placed into manufacture provided boxes suitable for the shipping of the devices. The boxes will contain 10 devices with each device being placed into a sealable plastic bag as recommended by the manufacturer. Boxes will be labeled Exit Signs and secured in the temporary waste storage area. NDC will notify the THE PORT OF LONG BEACH representative as to the quantity of containers. Shipment will be in compliance with DOT regulations and manufacturers recommendations. Workers will be instructed on the type and style of radioactive exit signs. If other signs are discovered, this will be brought to the attention of the NDC Project Manager. Personnel performing other site work will be made aware of the exit signs during tailgate meetings by discussion and pictures. If signs are encountered during subsequent site work, the units will be removed as outlined above.

4.2.5Lead Acid Batteries

The battery to be removed will be located and the metal housing cover opened for access. Disconnection of the battery will proceed utilizing all safety and standard removal procedures and is to include cutting electrical lines to the battery and removing the isolated battery. As removal of batteries proceeds in an individual building, the removed batteries will be staged at the temporary waste storage area for segregation and packaging.

Packaging will consist of placement of the undamaged batteries onto wooden pallets. If a battery is found to be cracked, leaking, or if the integrity of the battery is potentially impaired, it will be containerized in designated poly drums or 5-gallon containers at the temporary waste storage area, for eventual consolidation for shipment off-site. All drums will be packaged and labeled according to State or Federal requirements. All personnel handling lead acid batteries will be outfitted with appropriate safety gear including chemical resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) knee boots, PVC on polyester Acid Suits, PVC gloves, and hard hats with goggles and face shield or as required by the SSSP. Any spills will be neutralized with baking soda and water.

4.2.6Fluorescent Bulbs and HID Lamps

Disconnection of the lights will proceed utilizing all safety and standard removal procedures, including disconnection of electrical feed to system and removal of electrical breakers for lighting systems. After the electrical system has been de-energized, the plastic cover for the light fixture, if present, will be removed and placed on the floor, at which time the exposed fluorescent light tubes will be removed by hand and placed in a rubber/plastic container for temporary storage during removal.

NDC personnel will utilize rolling scaffolding or ladders to support workers on single story floors. For ceilings of greater height, a motorized lift will be utilized to assist in retrieving light tubes and other lighting fixtures. Health and safety issues related to overhead work will be addressed in the SSSP.

As temporary containers become full, they will be transferred to a central location within the building. The tubes will then be placed directly into DOT approved cardboard storage boxes or fiber drums to be provided by Chemical Waste Management Inc., Model City. The box/drum will be sealed, placed on pallets and secured to the pallet with stretch wrap. Full pallets will be transported via forklift to the temporary waste storage area. All boxes will be marked with the customers name and address and a packing list will be attached to the container.

During fluorescent light removal, if any tubes break, personnel will gather the broken items and containerize them in a 5-gallon plastic container. At the end of the day, accumulated broken bulbs will be placed in a DOT 17H 55-gallon steel drum labeled Broken Fluorescent Tubes and will be located at the temporary waste storage area. This drum will then be sealed and labeled for disposal.

For other light fixtures or bulbs, items will be separated and palletized for eventual off-site disposal. Removal and handling of the units will follow similar procedures as outlined above.

4.2.7PCB and Non-PCB Ballasts

After removal of fluorescent light tubes, the fixture cover will be removed to access the light ballast for inspection. The inspection will be completed with the fixture in place. Inspection of the light ballast will include a careful review of the ballast label to determine if the ballast contains PCBs. If the ballast label does not contain the words No PCBs or the label is removed or unreadable, it shall be assumed that the ballast is a light ballast containing PCBs. If the ballast does not contain PCBs, as determined by this definitive visual inspection, the non-PCB ballast will be left attached to the light fixture for disposal with the general building debris.

Ballasts containing PCBs shall be removed from the fixture by disconnecting the mounting bolt or rivet, clipping and leaving as little conductor wire attached to the ballast as possible. Immediately upon its removal from the fixture, the ballast will be relocated to a central location within the buildings floor area. During removal of the ballast, if any portion of the light fixture is impacted with PCB oil, the portion of the impacted fixture will be set aside and a determination will be made as to its final disposition. Any generated residue will be considered PCB impacted and incorporated into the drummed ballast waste stream.

After the PCB ballasts have been removed and are staged in a central location, the PCB impacted ballasts will be stacked on wood pallets with a sheet of 6 mil plastic between the pallet and ballast, thus reducing the potential for cross-contamination. Ballasts that are palletized will be relocated to the temporary waste storage area at the end of the work day. At the storage area, the ballasts will be staged until such time that quantities merit lab-packing. Packaging will consist of placement of the ballast into a DOT approved 17H, 55-gallon steel drum. Absorbent will be added to the bottom of the drum and throughout the drum until the drum is completely full. For PCB ballasts sent for recycling, absorbent may not be required, however, NDC personnel will ensure through the counting of ballast during labpacking, that no more than 150 small ballasts are placed into a 55-gallon drum. All lab-packing will be in accordance with Federal, State, and/or local regulations.

Ballasts will be staged for eventual off-site disposal/recycling at a THE PORT OF LONG BEACH approved disposal facility. All drums containing PCB ballasts will be labeled with the standard HAZARDOUS WASTE label, with the description of R.Q. Environmentally Hazardous Substance Solid, N.O.S., 9, NA3077, P.G.III, (Polychlorinated BiPhenyls) and with a CAUTION CONTAINS PCBs label. This labeling and manifest description will be required for any shipment of drummed PCB ballasts.

Leaking PCB containing light ballasts or ballasts in which the integrity of the ballast is questionable, will not be stockpiled with other ballasts. These ballasts will be placed immediately into a DOT approved 17H, 55-gallon steel drum and packaged as outlined above.

Ballasts that are identified as Non-PCB containing or No-PCBs and have been left in place on the light fixture will be released as general building debris and handled as non-hazardous demolition debris. NDC personnel plan to leave any non-PCB ballast attached to the light fixtures to be removed during building demolition and transported to a metal recycling facility.4.2.8Oil Containing Equipment

Located throughout the facility is equipment that may require special handling considerations prior to demolition. This equipment may consist of mechanical pumps, hydraulic pumps, air compressors, and a variety of other types of machinery. The equipment to be removed will be inspected, isolated, and cleared of debris. The equipment to be removed from service will be disconnected from electrical, sewer, water and/or gas systems. Severance of the utility connections will proceed utilizing standard health and safety and removal procedures for the specific connection(s). All related operation lines to the specific item will be traced from origin to destination and disconnected (if applicable). Any free-standing fluids within the work area will be removed (pumped or absorbed) and containerized prior to initiation of dismantling activities. Containerized materials will be relocated for later characterization. The equipment in question will then be drained of oil or operating fluids. Fluids will be drained or pumped into an approved spill proof container and then relocated to a temporary waste storage area for eventual characterization. All contained fluids will be temporarily labeled by suspected composition until analytical data as been completed. Personnel may utilize mechanical (metal or plastic) hand pumps to facilitate oil removal. If used, hand pumps will pump the oil directly into a spill proof container. Drum(s) will be located adjacent to the work area during oil transfer to reduce spillage. Containers will be sealed prior to being moved or transported. Absorbent and/or spill containment booms will be available on-site during oil removal and transfer as a contingency in case of spillage. Used absorbent will be placed in a drum labeled Oily Absorbent or incorporated into an existing oily absorbent waste stream generated from general facility decontamination.

At the end of the work day, the contained oil will be transported to the designated temporary waste storage area. Moving any containerized fluid will require that all spill proof containers be sealed to ensure no fluid leakage. Drums will be handled with a drum grabber or fork attachment during transportation throughout the facility. If encountered, workers will be required to remove building control equipment and/or containerized fluids from roofs or second story locations. Personnel will utilize scaffolding or motorized lifts to assist in the handling of these items. Precautionary procedures will be discussed prior to implementing removal activities. These measures will be outlined by the Task Supervisor / Foreman and will include both operational and health and safety issues. The procedures for working on scaffolding and/or motorized lifts will be detailed in the SSSP.Compatible waste streams will be consolidated and those drums will be reused. An inventory sheet will be forwarded to THE PORT OF LONG BEACH on a bimonthly basis for those wastes stored in the waste storage area. Each piece of equipment shall be tagged indicating No Fluids after the fluids have been removed and released for salvage or disposal.

4.2.9 Removal of Mold

The areas identifies with mold are generally within the office areas of the building. These areas are on the first floor. These areas will be demolished during the demolition phase of the project. The personnel performing the demolition will utilize respiratory protection if conditions require this level of protection. The debris produced during the demolition will be disposed of as demolition debris.

4.2.10PCB Containing Transformers

As a PCB contaminated item, the NDC assumes that the subject transformer will be handled intact and transported as a complete unit, oil and carcass, to a State permitted recycling/disposal facility. The transformer will be lifted via a crane or forklift and placed in a secondary containment vessel located on a licensed flatbed truck for transport to the receiving facility. The transformers will be properly manifested and placard per DOT regulations. These measures will be outlined by the task supervisor and will include both operational and health and safety issues.

Absorbent will be available on-site during removal as a contingency in case of spillage. Used absorbent will be placed in a drum labeled PCB Absorbent and will be properly disposed.

5.0DEMOLITION ACTIVITIES

The demolition and dismantling activities at the THE PORT OF LONG BEACH facility encompass an equally significant portion of the activities proposed for this project. The safe conduct of these activities is a critical part of the project. These activities are also very closely allied with the conduct of asbestos abatement, and environmental remediation work. NDCs goal is to provide an interactive sequencing of these activities with the demolition and dismantling work, to create a comprehensive approach.In general, the approach will include a wide variety of procedures. The most important aspect in the development of these procedures will be the safe conduct of the work. NDCs procedures will limit the use of labor to the most controlled and safe conditions and rely upon mechanized means of removal wherever possible. Shears, grapples, and other modern hydraulic tools and implements will be utilized. Wherever possible, large structures will be removed to ground level using mechanized means. Subsequent sizing of scrap materials and other preparation will take place at grade level.

The scope of work under discussed in the Work Plan encompasses the complete removal of above-grade and below grade structures. The following sections will outline the proposed demolition activities for the THE PORT OF LONG BEACH project site.

5.1MOBILIZATION

Following the abatement of asbestos containing materials and other regulated waste materials, NDC will coordinate the necessary equipment and personnel to begin preliminary demolition activities. These mobilization activities will include the following

Capping/disconnection of utility lines (domestic water) Establishment of site wide storm water control measuresEstablishment of loading areas and transportation routes (on-site/off-site)

Prior to demolition, a professional engineer will perform an engineering survey in accordance with OSHA demolition standards (29 CFR 1926, Subpart T). The survey will assess the immediate condition of the building to determine whether removing any element might cause an unexpected collapse.

NDCs on-site superintendent will verify that all hazardous, regulated and asbestos containing materials have been removed prior to demolition.

5.2GENERAL STRUCTURE DEMOLITION

The structure to be demolished on this project is a steel frame warehouse with masonry walls. The building has a concrete slab at grade a concrete second floor and concrete foundations including piles. All debris generated during the demolition is scheduled to be transported to the appropriate landfill or recycling facility. This project is intending on recycling, salvage and salvage for re-use of select materials and equipment.

NDC will use a sequence of mechanical demolition techniques to ensure safe working conditions during the building demolition. Various excavators equipped with special attachments will be used to demolish the building in a controlled methodical manner. By using grapple, pulverizers, breakers, processors and shears, NDC is capable of cutting and breaking various building members as needed. This mechanical approach will allow for the warehouse to be demolished, sorted, stockpiled and ready for transportation, thus reducing the work force and worker exposure.

The method involved in this approach involves the demolition from the top to bottom using excavators equipped with special attachments. This top to bottom demolition technique is performed on a bay to bay approach. This technique is typically used on steel frame buildings and is excellent for projects such as The Coast Citrus Building, where the project requires a controlled demolition process. The various above grade structural building components will be broken, sized, stockpiled, loaded and transported for disposal.

The concrete slab and foundations will be demolished by heavy equipment (track mounted excavator) equipped with hydraulic breakers, pulverizers and shears. The excavator will excavate around each below grade structure to gain access. The concrete will be broken, sized, stockpiled, loaded and transported for disposal.

Again, structural members will be removed in a controlled fashion, in a sequenced operation in sections or bays, and no uncontrolled collapse of major structures will be undertaken without a pre-approved process.

5.3SOFT DEMOLITION OF INTERIOR ITEMS AND FINISHES

NDC will begin the demolition of the Coast Citrus Building with the soft demolition. This work includes removal of all interior features and finishes of the structure. This work will include the use of bobcats when practical, excavators and loaders. The interior materials produced by this work will be segregated into types of debris in order to maximize the recyclables on this project

5.4DEMOLITION OF ABOVE GRADE STRUCTURES

After the building has been gutted and all the interior soft debris has been removed and hauled offsite NDC will begin the demolition of the above grade structures including the Roof Structure, Second floor of the Warehouse, and the Perimeter Walls and Columns. The work will be preformed exclusively with excavators and loader to minimize the accident exposure to the work force. This work will be sequenced starting at the top and working down in a bay by bay method. Labor will be involved in order to remove or separate the trash items from the solids to avoid contamination of the concrete loads. The materials once on the ground will be either sheared and sized for the structural steel materials or pulverized and sizing and removing the rebar for the concrete and CMU materials. After the segregated materials are sized they will be loaded into trucks and transported to the appropriate location for recycling, re-use or landfilled.

5.5DEMOLITION OF CONCRETE SLABS AND ASPHALT PAVING AND SITE IMPROVEMENTS

After demolition of above grade structures, the removal of concrete slabs and asphalt paving will commence. Prior to slab and asphalt removal, all existing monitoring wells and utility locations will be marked. The slab and asphalt will be broken in place by a concrete stomper or excavator with breaker attachment. This will fracture the slab and paving and will greatly facilitate removal. The concrete and asphalt will be lifted by excavators and loaders. Every reasonable effort will be made to minimize the amount of below grade soil disturbed. The concrete building slabs and walls will be designated for off-site disposal at the appropriate disposal facility once the materials have been pulverized and sized to remove the rebar. The miscellaneous site improvements such as the site fencing, bollards and other items noted for removal will be removed with the use of bobcats, excavators and loaders any concrete will be separated from the metal materials and these materials will be loaded and transported to the appropriate facility for recycling, re-use or landfilled.

5.6DEMOLITION OF BELOW GRADE STRUCTURES

Below grade structure demolition will consist primarily of the excavation and removal of structure perimeter foundations, grade beams, piles caps and piles and any related utilities. Structure foundations will be removed from their locations through the use of excavators and loaders. If needed, soil surrounding the foundation will be removed and stockpiled adjacent to the sloped excavations exceeding 5in depth. If possible, the foundation section will be removed in its entirety and placed at grade level. There it will be sized and loaded for off-site disposal. If the foundation is too large to be removed from its below grade location, the foundation will be broken in place and removed in pieces. The existing piles will be removed to the elevation specified in the plans. This work will be performed with the use of excavators with our shear attachment the piles will be excavated at the perimeter of each pile the shear will be utilized to cut the pile at the specified elevation. The use of torches may be utilized to trim any residual rebar protruding from the top of the remaining section of pile that is remaining. The pile materials will then be stock piled, pulverized and transported to an offsite recycler separate from the port crusher as this material is disallowed at the port crusher.

Concurrently with foundation removal, utility removal will take place. As the above grade demolition is taking place, personnel will mark and delineate as many utility locations as possible. This will facilitate the location of utilities for removal (if required). The overburden soil on top of the subject utility will be excavated and placed adjacent to the sloped excavation. The utility will be removed in pieces and staged next to the excavation for eventual handling. The utility will be followed until their end or until property lines are reached.

6.0EXCAVATION & BACKFILL ACTIVITIES

6.1Excavation

During our excavation activities for the removal of the Top Sections of the Existing Piles, Over Excavation, Grade Beam, Foundation Removal & Trenching Work exceeding the 5 depth requiring additional safety controls to protect against collapse or cave in of the excavation, NDC will at all excavations exceeding this depth utilize a Sloping or Benching method or if necessary utilize Shoring Boxes to be in compliance with all applicable Osha Regulations and Standards.

6.1.1Backfill and Compaction

Upon review of the confirmatory sampling and/or approval to backfill by THE PORT OF LONG BEACHs representative and governing agency, NDC will coordinate the mobilization of equipment and placement material for the placement and certified compaction of excavations. Compaction will be conducted with standard industry equipment and compaction certification will be provided. Soil will be compacted to at least 95 percent (%) of the maximum dry density in the excavation as determined in the laboratory using the ASTM D-1557 test method. Backfill material shall have the optimum moisture content required for compaction and the moisture content shall be uniform throughout each layer. The material shall be placed in horizontal layers of not more than 12 inches in thickness or as specified by the soils engineer. Excavations will be backfilled to match surrounding grade.

6.2Site Restoration

NDC will fill below grade areas and voids resulting from the building demolition operations with satisfactory materials according to the backfill requirements in the specifications. Earthmoving equipment will be utilized to place, compact and evenly spread fill materials into the void areas. The area will be uniformly graded per plans and prepared for the Porous Asphalt Concrete Pavement.

NDC will utilize the services of its subcontractor Allied Enterprises to perform this phase of the project. Upon approval of the required submittals, mix design, certificate of compliance, ect. Allied will install the pavement as required in the project specifications S.P.45 This work can only be performed on a Saturday due to the Plant requirements where the material is originating from. It is expected to be complete by the end of the shift on this day.

After to paving work has been completed and approved by the Port Inspector NDC will utilize the services of Alcorn Fence Co. to install Approx. 1150 LF of 8 Chain L ink and a 24 drive walk gate as required in the POLB STAND. ST-19 This work will have a duration of 3-5 days.

7.0WASTE MANAGEMENT

Prior to and during completion of the decontamination and demolition of the Port of Long Beach Coast Citrus Facility, NDC will utilize an internally developed Waste Management Program for the coordination and off-site disposal of the various waste streams to be generated. This program will provide guidance, direction and procedures for managing the characterization and disposal of non-hazardous solid and liquid waste, and hazardous wastes generated as a result of the decontamination, asbestos abatement, demolition, and environmental remediation of the facilities at the TH
