Thimbles have bare wire from installation that should be removed. Turnbuckles are improperly secured and need to have the safety wire installed correctly. A missing bolt was found on top guy level torque arm bracket. A proper grade and size bolt needs to be installed. There is unused rusted hardware on the tower that has to be removed. Hill 471 Tower - The grounding rod is loose and misaligned. New preform have been installed over existing preform. Turnbuckles at anchor are improperly secured and need to have the safety wire installed correctly. Rust is appearing on the guy wires and tower itself. The guy wire rust does not require immediate attention however should be monitored in the future. The rust on the tower needs to be removed in the near future and the correct paint applied. One of the leg attachment points has the incorrect grade and size bolt installed. The photocell has a malfunction and requires replacement. The tower has unused clamps left on the tower that should be removed. The towers guy wire are out of tolerance and requires re-tensioning. TV Tower - The anchors have vegetation growing too close, impeding on required clearance zone. Guy wire grounding is insufficient. Anchor heads also lack sufficient grounding. The fence lacks sufficient grounding. Thimbles have been stretched beyond acceptable limits. Majority of guy wires have friction clamps that are not acceptable by today’s standards. All turnbuckles have improper safety cable protection. One of the anchor heads has a major deficiency; it is twisted causing a safety hazard. Guy wires have protruding strands. The tower is out of plumb. Majority of guy wires are very far out of acceptable limits for torque specs. Torque arms have improper bolts installed. Several tower sections are installed upside down and have blocked off weep holes. There is corrosion on all sockets for lighting system. The lights are actually held to the tower with tape. The SO cord is damaged, junction boxes mounted improperly and lights are not operating properly. The entire lighting system needs to be replaced. Several antennas have damaged or missing elements, broken mounting hardware, loose connection and are rusted. The lines have excessive movement, loops and drip loops. There are several unused lines not properly weatherproofed. Supports are not adequate to support coaxes, all supports are “homemade” The tower paint job is insufficient, it is a lead based paint that is flaking off the tower. The most significant defect is the inability to distinguish the colors for a distance, creating a serious safety hazard for local air traffic. Environmental: Lead Based Paint A. If paint is to be disturbed (eg. substrate demolition or surface preparation for painting such as sanding, scraping or other such activities that generate lead dust) its lead content should first be determined thru testing the impacted surfaces. If lead is present in the paint, the Contractor shall adhere to the Occupation Safety and Health Administration regulation 29 CFR 1926.62. All paint chip residue shall be turned-in to EQD for disposal (all of which is at the expense of the proponent). B. As a Best Management Practice, use water-based paint, when possible, to reduce the generation of hazardous waste. C. Any removal or encapsulation of lead based paint (LBP) shall be done in accordance with applicable regulations, Federal and State laws, and the O.A.C. 252:110 "Lead Based Paint Management". D. Contractors shall be required to provide worker protection in accordance with the “OSHA Lead in Construction Standard 29CFR 1926.62" and other applicable sections of OSHA regulations. E. Wastes generated as a result of non-LBP (less than 1mg/cm2) removal may still be regulated by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as a hazardous waste if the TCLP lead level exceeds 5 mg/L (mg/cm 2 and TCLP mg/L are not directly comparable terms). Removal practices for LBP and non-LBP must provide for containment of paint chips, blasting media (water, sand, etc.), airborne dusts or mists and any other wastes generated as a result of the paint removal process. These wastes must be tested prior to disposal to meet the generator responsibility requirements of 40 CFR 262.11 Segregation of solid and liquid wastes is required for proper characterization and disposal. F. Waste disposal shall be coordinated with the COR. Waste analysis and disposal costs shall be the responsibility of the activity responsible for the initiation of the painting or renovation project. G. The Clean Water Act (CWA), 40 CFR Part 122 and the Fort Sill Storm water Pollution Prevention Plan, promulgated in accordance with the CWA, prohibits the unpermitted discharge of water blasting wastes (to include the water itself) onto the ground or into drainage structures in such a manner that it may enter the water of the United States.
