Paint Chip Sample analysis was performed via Inductively Coupled Argon Plasma, Atomic Emission Spectroscopy following the NIOSH 7303 Method by Analytical Environmental Services, Inc. (AES), 3080 Presidential Drive, Atlanta, GA 30340. AES is accredited in the analysis of lead-based paint (LBP) samples via the Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (#100671).

2. DISCUSSION AND RESULTS

a. Building #62 - Asbestos

The asbestos survey was conducted in accordance with the sampling protocol established in the Environmental Protection Agency’s Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA 40 CFR, Part 763) for the materials included in this specific survey. The following provides general information and summarizes the potential impact of asbestos containing material during the scheduled renovation project.

Bulk samples were collected from the following suspect asbestos containing materials during this survey:

1. 12” X 12” Beige Mottled Floor Tile with Adhesive (HM #1)

2. 12” X 12” Dark Gray Floor Tile with Adhesive (HM #2)

3. Black Covebase with Adhesive (HM #3)

4. Tan Covebase with Adhesive (HM #4)

5. Drywall and Drywall Joint Compound (HM #5)

6. Foil Type Fiberglass Duct Insulation (HM #6)

7. Foil Type Fiberglass Duct Insulation with Beige Sealant (HM #7)

8. Beige Exterior Concrete Type Stucco (HM #8)

9. Brown Roof Shingles with Black Felt and Tar (HM #9)

10. Black Underneath Sink Coating (HM #10)

The following collected bulk sample materials contained non-friable asbestos by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) (reference Appendix A for the Asbestos Bulk Sampling Summary followed by the Laboratory Report and Representative Photographs of Suspect Asbestos Containing Materials).

1. Brown Roof Shingles with Black Felt and Tar (HM #9)

2. Black Underneath Sink Coating (HM #10)

Note: There is a laboratory fume hood that is mobile in this building and it has a Transite-Type asbestos lining that should be assumed positive for asbestos.

b. Building #62 - Lead

Paint chip samples were collected from the following representative surfaces:

1. Beige Paint, Wood Wall, Bldg. 62, Corridor Between AHU Rm and Rm F (Sample # 62-PC-01)

2. Beige Paint, Metal Door, Bldg. 62, Entrance to Rm 1 (Sample # 62-PC-02)

3. Beige Paint, Metal Door Frame, Bldg. 62, Entrance to Rm 1 (Sample # 62-PC-03)

4. Beige Paint, CMU Wall, Bldg. 62, Rm J (Sample # 62-PC-04)

5. Gray Paint, Concrete Floor, Bldg. 62, Rm 1 (Sample # 62-PC-05)

Paint chips containing lead concentrations at or above 0.5 percent by weight are considered positive for lead, based on EPA and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines for Target Housing and Child Occupied Facilities. The results of analysis indicated that all representative paint chip samples were below the analytical reporting limit for lead.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Industry Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62) does not reference the HUD definition for LBP. If detectable levels of lead are identified in any painted surface, paint disturbance will fall under the OSHA Lead Standard. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 requires employers to perform exposure monitoring for employees whose tasks disturb or potentially disturb lead. The data contained in this survey report should be provided to the Contractor, prior to the Contractor submitting bids for maintenance, renovation or demolition work. The Contractor shall assume that all painted surfaces may contain detectable levels of lead for purposes of this project and demonstrate through personal air sampling that airborne lead levels will not exceed 30 micrograms (ug) lead per cubic meter (m3) of air determined as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA), for each representative task and trade that disturbs painted surfaces.

Refer to Appendix B for the Paint Chip Sample Summary followed by Laboratory Data and Representative Photographs of Paint Chip Samples.

3. METHODOLOGY

Asbestos Sampling Protocol

The inspector sampled all suspect ACM in accessible areas. In order for a group of homogeneous materials to be considered as non-asbestos containing, all samples from that specific homogeneous material must be analyzed and determined to be non-asbestos containing or less than or equal to 1% asbestos.

Representative, randomly selected samples were collected from each homogeneous area of suspect asbestos-containing material. For purposes of this report, the homogeneous area is physically defined as all material with the same visual appearance, texture and hardness.

The minimum number of samples collected for each homogeneous area (or material) is as follows:

1. Friable Spray-applied or Trowel-applied Material

a. Less than or equal to 1000 square feet (S.F.) = 3 samples

b. Greater than 1000 S.F. and less than or equal to 5000 S.F. = 5 samples.

c. Greater than 5000 S. F. = 7 samples

2. Pipe and Duct Insulation

Three samples per homogeneous area of insulation were taken unless it was a confirmation sample.

3. Elbows, Valves, Fittings and Connection Mud

Three representative samples were taken from each representative type of insulated elbow, valve, fitting and connecting mud unless it was a confirmation sample.

4. Boiler, Tanks and Furnaces

A minimum of 3 samples per unit was collected.

5. Patchwork Patchwork is defined as a patch or repair to existing material based on the following quantities:

a. Surfacing material patches are limited to a maximum of 6 S. F.

b. Pipe and duct insulation patches are limited to a maximum of 6 L. F. or 6

S. F.

c. Boiler, tanks and furnace patches are limited to 6 S.F. maximum.

If the patchwork exceeded the limits prescribed above, the sampling protocol resorted back to the homogeneous area descriptions in items 1-4. If a material qualifies as patchwork, a single sample was collected per patch.

6. Ceiling or Acoustical Tile

a. Minimum of 3 Samples

7. Miscellaneous Friable Material

a. 2 Samples

8. Non-friable Material

Non-friable materials for purposes of this survey would include material such as floor tiles and mastic/adhesive, linoleum floor covering, interior/exterior caulks, flooring felt (if still under floor tile), roofing materials, miscellaneous cementitious material such as wall or ceiling panels, caulking or sealant, or window glazing.

a. Minimum of 3 samples

Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Sampling Protocol

Paint chips containing lead concentrations at or above 0.5 percent by weight are considered positive for lead based on EPA and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines for Target Housing and Child Occupied Facilities.

The inspector collected paint chip samples from representative surfaces and components likely to be impacted by this renovation project and compared them against the HUD definition for Lead- Based Paint (LBP) of 0.5 % by weight. Individual sample results are presented in tabular form in Appendix B.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Industry Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62) does not reference the HUD definition for LBP. If detectable levels of lead are identified in any painted surface, paint disturbance will fall under the OSHA Lead Standard. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 requires employers to perform exposure monitoring for employees whose tasks disturb or potentially disturb lead. The data contained in this survey report should be provided to the Contractor, prior to the Contractor submitting bids for maintenance, renovation or demolition work. The Contractor shall assume that all painted surfaces may contain detectable levels of lead for purposes of this project and demonstrate through personal air sampling that airborne lead levels will not exceed 30 micrograms (ug) lead per cubic meter (m3) of air determined as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA), for each representative task and trade that disturbs painted surfaces.

4. OBSERVATIONS/CONCLUSIONS

Building #62 - Asbestos

The following collected bulk sample materials contained non-friable asbestos by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) (reference Appendix A for the Asbestos Bulk Sampling Summary followed by the Laboratory Report and Representative Photographs of Suspect Asbestos Containing Materials).

1. Brown Roof Shingles with Black Felt and Tar (HM #9)

2. Black Underneath Sink Coating (HM #10)

Note: There is a laboratory fume hood that is mobile in this building and it has a Transite-Type asbestos lining that should be assumed positive for asbestos.

Building #62 - Lead

Paint chips containing lead concentrations at or above 0.5 percent by weight are considered positive for lead, based on EPA and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines for Target Housing and Child Occupied Facilities. The results of analysis indicated that all representative paint chip samples were below the analytical reporting limit for lead.

Disturbance to any painted item/surface/component shall be done in compliance with the OSHA Construction Industry Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62). The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Industry Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62) does not reference the HUD definition for LBP. If detectable levels of lead are identified in any painted surface, paint disturbance will fall under the OSHA Lead Standard. OSHA 29 CFR

1926.62 requires employers to perform exposure monitoring for employees whose tasks disturb or potentially disturb lead. The data contained in this survey report should be provided to the Contractor, prior to the Contractor submitting bids for maintenance, renovation or demolition work. The Contractor shall assume that all painted surfaces may contain detectable levels of lead for purposes of this project and demonstrate through personal air sampling that airborne lead levels will not exceed 30 micrograms (ug) lead per cubic meter (m3) of air determined as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA), for each representative task and trade that disturbs painted surfaces.

5. RECOMMENDATIONS

A. The asbestos containing material survey report should be maintained at the job site during performance of the renovation/demolition activities. At least ten (10) working days advanced written NESHAP Notification shall be provided to: Miami-Dade County, Division of Environmental Resources Management, 710 N.W. 1st Court, Suite 400, Miami, FL 33136.
