LEAD and ASBESTOS ABATEMENT STANDARD OPERATING

PROCEDURES

Jemez SpringsRanger Station Jemez Ranger Station, Ranger Station Annex and

Warehouse

Introduction

Please immediately note, no lead based paint was discovered during the sampling of the 3 buildings, so this SOP will be specific to asbestos abatement of the ranger, Annex Building and Warehouse.

The purpose of these specifications is to clarify the responsibilities of the asbestos abatement contractor and to stipulate the procedures that will be employed in any particular abatement project. All work will be performed in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations as promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and any additional state or local rules and regulations:

If questions arise, the totality of these rules and regulations will form the basis for the resolution of any perceived ambiguities.

It should be noted that with the passage of Public Law #99-519, the “Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act”

(AHERA), the EPA was required to promulgate revised rules and regulations in regards to actions concerned with asbestos-containing material in primary and secondary schools (40 CFR Part 763). These revised rules and regulations do not apply to public and commercial buildings and therefore will not necessarily be used as bases for asbestos abatement work in such buildings unless the owner/manager specifically requests such compliance.

The Contractor The contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, employee training, asbestos specific general liability insurance coverage, expertise, and equipment necessary to carry out the specified asbestos abatement activities. The contractor shall also secure all required permits including any necessary state and local licenses. Although the owner or the contractor is responsible for providing required notification to the EPA and any regional, state or local authority having jurisdiction on projects for regulated asbestos containing material. The contractor must be informed that these responsibilities have been met. Usually the contractor or the consultant notifies these agencies for the owner.

Codes and Standards

The contractor shall comply with the provisions of the following codes, specifications, and standards, except as otherwise specified:

• OSHA General Industrial Safety and Health Standards (29 CFR §1910 and §1926, published in the Federal

ASBESTOS INSPECTION

Acme Environmental, Inc. (Acme) was contracted to conduct an Asbestos Inspection at the cited property in Jemez Springs, New Mexico. The survey was conducted on February 14, 2019. Acme conducted the survey in accordance with EPA National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).

Acme performed asbestos bulk sampling in substantial compliance with the established 40 CFR 763 sampling protocol and requirements set forth in OSHA's 29 CFR 1926.1101.

Mr. David Chavez (US EPA AHERA-accredited Asbestos Inspector) conducted the survey.

Property Information The facility consisted of various office areas, a small break area, and one unisex bathroom.

General structure construction consisted of wood and drywall, primarily. Flooring throughout the structure was consistent and not sampled.

NOTE: The roof was investigated.

Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM) Based on the analytical data reported, the no materials were found to contain greater than 1% asbestos and therefore, none are considered asbestos containing material (ACM).

Asbestos Bulk Sample Analysis Bulk samples were collected and submitted to an independent laboratory to be analyzed using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency “Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Samples” (EPA 600/R-93/116, July 1993). Crisp Analytical Laboratories, Carrollton, TX performed the analysis. Crisp is accredited for asbestos analysis under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), accreditation #200349-0.

Laboratory results can be found in the Appendix of this report.

Analysis Method: The analytical method chosen to identify asbestos within the bulk sample was the Interim (40CFR Part 763 Appendix E to Subpart E) / Improved (EPA-600/R-93/116).

Preparation Method: Hydrochloric Acid washing for carbonate-based samples, chemical reduction for organically bound components, oil immersion for identification of asbestos types by dispersion staining / becke line method.

Asbestos Data

Results for asbestos content as reported in the comprehensive inspection report are interpreted in the following manner.

Samples were collected after the accredited inspector inventoried suspect materials. These materials were identified as to their homogeneity, specifically; materials that are considered the same, for example floor tile or ceiling plaster are sampled in a representative manner.

That is, a specified number of samples are collected from each homogenous material. This is dictated by the EPA sampling rules.

These homogenous materials are grouped for analysis by the laboratory. If a single sample of a homogenous material is found to contain greater than 1% asbestos, then that homogenous material is considered asbestos containing.

Jemez Springs Ranger Annex Jemez Springs, NM Page 4

Conclusions Based on the analytical data reported to Acme derived from the bulk samples collected, the following homogeneous materials are NOT considered ACM in the relative facility.

• Tan linoleum flooring

• White ceiling drywall with texture

• Tan roof shingle with tar

Jemez Springs Ranger Annex Jemez Springs, NM Page 5

Project Report Limitations Note: Acme attempted to inspect all suspect asbestos-containing building materials observed during this survey.

The environmental services described in this report have been conducted in general accordance with current regulatory guidelines and the standard-of-care exercised by environmental consultants performing similar work in the project area.

Acme’s opinions and recommendations regarding environmental conditions, as presented in this report, are based on visual inspection and limited sampling only. The samples collected and used for testing, and the observations made are believed to be representative of the area(s) evaluated.

This report is intended exclusively for use by the clients. Any use or reuse of the findings, conclusions, and/or recommendations of this report by parties other than the client is undertaken at said parties’ sole risk.

Materials Characterization - Bulk Asbestos Analysis Laboratory Analysis Report - Polarized Light

ACME Environmental

Albuquerque, NM 87107 18-131, Jemez Ranger Station, Ranger Annex

CAL19021085AG

Summary of polarized light microscopy (PLM / Stereomicroscopy bulk asbestos analysis) using the methods described in 40CFR Part 763

Appendix E to Subpart E (Interim and EPA 600 / R-93 / 116 (Improved). The sample is first viewed with the aid of a stereomicroscope. Numerous liquid slide preparations are created for analysis under the polarized microscope where identifications and quantifications are preformed. Calibrated liquid refractive oils are used as liquid mouting medium. These oils are used for identification (dispersion staining). A calibrated visual estimation is reported, should any asbestiform mineral be present. Other techniques such as acid washing are used in conjugation with refractive oils for detection of smaller quantities of asbestos. All asbestos percentages are based on calibrated visual estimation traceable to NIST standards for regulated asbestos. Traceability to measurement and calibration is achieved by using known amounts and types of asbestos from standards where analyst and laboratory accuracy are measured. As little as 0.001% asbestos can be detected in favorable samples, while detection in unfavorable samples may approach the detection limit of 0.50% (well above the laboratory definition of trace).

Vermiculite containing samples may contain trace amounts of actinolite/tremolite. When not detected by PLM, these samples should be analyzed using TEM methods and / or water separation techniques. Suspected actinolite/vermiculite presence will be indicated through the sample comment section of this report.

Fibrous talc containing samples may contain a regulated asbestos fiber known as anthophyllite. Under certain conditions the same fiber may actually contain both talc and anthophyllite (a phenomenon called intergrowth). Again, TEM detection methods are recommended. CA Labs PLM report comments will denote suspected amounts of asbestiform anthophyllite with talc, where further analysis is recommended.

Some samples (floor tiles, surfacings, etc.) may contain fibers too small to be delectable by PLM analysis and should be analyzed by TEM bulk protocols.

AIHA LAP, LLC Laboratory #102929

A "trace asbestos" will be reported if the analyst observes far less than 1% asbestos. CA Labs defines "trace asbestos" as a few fibers detected by the analyst in several preparations and will indicate as such under these circumstances.

Since allowable variation in quantification of samples close to 1% is high, <1% may be reported. Such results are ideal for point counting, and the technique is mandatory for friable samples (NESHAP, Nov. 1990 and clarification letter 8 May 1991) under 1% percent asbestos or "trace asbestos".

In order to make all initial PLM reports issued from CA Labs NESHAP compliant, all <1% asbestos results (except floor tiles) will be point counted at no additional charge.

CA Labs is accredited by the National Voluntary Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for selected test methods for airborne fiber analysis (TEM), and for bulk asbestos fiber analysis (PLM). CA Labs is also accredited by AIHA LAP, LLC. in the PLM asbestos field of testing for Industrial Hygiene. All analysts have completed college courses or hold a degree in a natural science (geology, biology, or environmental science). Recognition by a state professional board in one these disciplines is preferred, but not required. Extensive in-house training programs are used to augment the educational background of the analyst. The Laboratory Director and Quality Manager have received supplemental McCrone Research training for asbestos identification.

SUBJECT: Asbestos investigation PROJECT LOCATION: Jemez Springs Ranger Station Jemez Springs, NM

ACME PROJECT #: 18-179

To Whom it may concern:

Acme Environmental, Inc. (Acme) has completed investigations of the occurrence of asbestos in building materials in the Jemez Springs Ranger Station, in Jemez Springs, New Mexico.

• White window glazing

• White 12”x12” vinyl floor tile

• White 12”x12” acoustic tile with mastic

Asbestos was detected in following bulk samples collected and analyzed;

• White joint compound (layer sampled within; white drywall with texture samples)

Based on asbestos bulk samples collected, white joint compound (layer sampled within;

white drywall with texture samples) that may be subject to impact or dust generation due to renovation or demolition, must be properly remediated.

Asbestos containing materials must be properly controlled and/or removed prior to construction services that will impact them or create dust.

Jemez Ranger Station - Jemez Springs, NM Page 3

Acme Environmental, Inc. (Acme) was contracted to conduct an Asbestos Inspection at the cited property in Jemez Springs, New Mexico. The survey was conducted on February 14, 2019. Acme conducted the survey in accordance with EPA National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).

Acme performed asbestos bulk sampling in substantial compliance with the established 40 CFR 763 sampling protocol and requirements set forth in OSHA's 29 CFR 1926.1101.

Mr. David Chavez (US EPA AHERA-accredited Asbestos Inspector) conducted the survey.

Property Information The facility consisted of a reception area through the front entrance. Various office spaces, utility areas, and bathrooms represented the remainder of the facility. The structure is single story with a general construction of wood and drywall.

NOTE: The roof was investigated. Exterior is wood construction

Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM) Based on the analytical data reported, the following materials were found to contain greater than 1% asbestos and therefore are considered asbestos containing materials (ACM).

Sample area with White joint compound (layer sampled within; white drywall with texture samples)

(shown above)

Jemez Ranger Station - Jemez Springs, NM Page 4

Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency “Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Samples” (EPA 600/R-93/116, July 1993). Crisp Analytical Laboratories, Carrollton, TX performed the analysis. Crisp is accredited for asbestos analysis under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), accreditation #200349-0.

Laboratory results can be found in the Appendix of this report.

Analysis Method: The analytical method chosen to identify asbestos within the bulk sample was the Interim (40CFR Part 763 Appendix E to Subpart E) / Improved (EPA-600/R-93/116).

Preparation Method: Hydrochloric Acid washing for carbonate-based samples, chemical reduction for organically bound components, oil immersion for identification of asbestos

Samples were collected after the accredited inspector inventoried suspect materials. These materials were identified as to their homogeneity, specifically; materials that are considered the same, for example floor tile or ceiling plaster are sampled in a representative manner.

That is, a specified number of samples are collected from each homogenous material. This is dictated by the EPA sampling rules.

These homogenous materials are grouped for analysis by the laboratory. If a single sample of a homogenous material is found to contain greater than 1% asbestos, then that homogenous material is considered asbestos containing.

Conclusions Based on the analytical data reported to Acme derived from the bulk samples collected, the following homogeneous materials are NOT considered ACM in the relative facility.

• White window glazing

• White 12”x12” vinyl floor tile

• White 12”x12” acoustic tile with mastic

Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM) The asbestos containing materials (white joint compound layer sampled within; white drywall with texture samples) which may be impacted or generate dust, should be treated as special waste. The asbestos containing material is found throughout the drywall system of the ranger station facility. It is recommended to have a defined asbestos management plan to ensure that the materials are properly maintained, while plans for removal are addressed.

Prior to demolition or renovation, materials found to contain greater than 1% asbestos and considered ACM that will be impacted during activities must be removed and segregated from the general waste stream by a qualified asbestos contractor. These materials cannot be disposed in a regular landfill in the State of New Mexico.

Note: Acme attempted to inspect all suspect asbestos-containing building materials observed during this survey.

The environmental services described in this report have been conducted in general accordance with current regulatory guidelines and the standard-of-care exercised by environmental consultants performing similar work in the project area.

Acme’s opinions and recommendations regarding environmental conditions, as presented in this report, are based on visual inspection and limited sampling only. The samples collected and used for testing, and the observations made are believed to be representative of the area(s) evaluated.

Summary of polarized light microscopy (PLM / Stereomicroscopy bulk asbestos analysis) using the methods described in 40CFR Part 763

Appendix E to Subpart E (Interim and EPA 600 / R-93 / 116 (Improved). The sample is first viewed with the aid of a stereomicroscope. Numerous liquid slide preparations are created for analysis under the polarized microscope where identifications and quantifications are preformed. Calibrated liquid refractive oils are used as liquid mouting medium. These oils are used for identification (dispersion staining). A calibrated visual estimation is reported, should any asbestiform mineral be present. Other techniques such as acid washing are used in conjugation with refractive oils for detection of smaller quantities of asbestos. All asbestos percentages are based on calibrated visual estimation traceable to NIST standards for regulated asbestos. Traceability to measurement and calibration is achieved by using known amounts and types of asbestos from standards where analyst and laboratory accuracy are measured. As little as 0.001% asbestos can be detected in favorable samples, while detection in unfavorable samples may approach the detection limit of 0.50% (well above the laboratory definition of trace).

Vermiculite containing samples may contain trace amounts of actinolite/tremolite. When not detected by PLM, these samples should be analyzed using TEM methods and / or water separation techniques. Suspected actinolite/vermiculite presence will be indicated through the sample comment section of this report.

Fibrous talc containing samples may contain a regulated asbestos fiber known as anthophyllite. Under certain conditions the same fiber may actually contain both talc and anthophyllite (a phenomenon called intergrowth). Again, TEM detection methods are recommended. CA Labs PLM report comments will denote suspected amounts of asbestiform anthophyllite with talc, where further analysis is recommended.

Some samples (floor tiles, surfacings, etc.) may contain fibers too small to be delectable by PLM analysis and should be analyzed by TEM bulk protocols.

AIHA LAP, LLC Laboratory #102929

A "trace asbestos" will be reported if the analyst observes far less than 1% asbestos. CA Labs defines "trace asbestos" as a few fibers detected by the analyst in several preparations and will indicate as such under these circumstances.

Since allowable variation in quantification of samples close to 1% is high, <1% may be reported. Such results are ideal for point counting, and the technique is mandatory for friable samples (NESHAP, Nov. 1990 and clarification letter 8 May 1991) under 1% percent asbestos or "trace asbestos".

In order to make all initial PLM reports issued from CA Labs NESHAP compliant, all <1% asbestos results (except floor tiles) will be point counted at no additional charge.

CA Labs is accredited by the National Voluntary Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for selected test methods for airborne fiber analysis (TEM), and for bulk asbestos fiber analysis (PLM). CA Labs is also accredited by AIHA LAP, LLC. in the PLM asbestos field of testing for Industrial Hygiene. All analysts have completed college courses or hold a degree in a natural science (geology, biology, or environmental science). Recognition by a state professional board in one these disciplines is preferred, but not required. Extensive in-house training programs are used to augment the educational background of the analyst. The Laboratory Director and Quality Manager have received supplemental McCrone Research training for asbestos identification.
