WORK PLAN
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The Federal Clean Air Act requires each state
to meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
In addition, each state or local government may
impose more restrictive requirements. States with
areas identified as exceeding EPA standards for
ozone must adopt limits on the volatile organic
compound (VOC) content of paint removers, wood
preservatives, solvents and other chemical
preparation materials. Therefore, the designer
should determine the local restrictions and
eliminate prohibited materials. It may be necessary
to specify locally available commercial products
which have been developed to meet local restrictions.
The requirements for Contractor test report
responsibilities should be modified regarding exempt
materials.
**************************************************************************

for safe conduct of the work, careful removal and disposition of materials
