b. USDA 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, CA - Lead

A paint chip sample was collected from the following representative surface:

1. White Paint on Plaster Wall, North Wing, North Stairwell, Stairway A (800-INT-P-1)

The White Paint on Plaster Wall, North Wing, North Stairwell, Stairway A (800-INT-P-1) was below the analytical reporting limit (BRL) for lead of <0.0080% by weight.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Industry Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62) does not reference the HUD definition for LBP (0.5% by Weight). 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.

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

c. USDA 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, CA – PCB

Representative bulk samples of caulking were collected and analyzed for PCBs from the following areas:

1. Caulking, Roof Edge, North Wing Roof, 800-NW-PCB-1

2. Caulking, Roof Edge, Admin Wing Roof, 800-AW-PCB-2

3. Caulking, Louver, Admin Wing Roof, 800-AW-PCB-3

Results of sampling and analysis indicated that sample number 800-NW-PCB-1 and sample number 800-AW-PCB-2 did not contain PCB at the analytical reporting limit. Sample 800-AW- PCB-3 indicated a PCB concentration of 0.57 mg/Kg (0.57 ppm) of Aroclor-1254.

Refer to Appendix C for the PCB Sampling Results Followed by Representative Photographs and Laboratory Report.

d. USDA 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, CA – Fungal Spores

June 7, 2021, two (2) spore trap screening samples were collected inside representative areas of the North Wing, North Stairwell and analyzed for fungal spores by direct microscopic examination. One (1) outside ambient air sample was collected for comparison purposes along with one (1) field blank, and, both were analyzed for fungal spores by direct microscopic examination. Additionally, three (3) Tape Lift samples were collected from representative substrates with suspect microbial growth, and analyzed for fungal spores by direct microscopic exam.

The area air spore trap samples were collected from the following locations:

General Fungal Spores Test Data Interpretation

Environmental Analysis Associates, Inc. states that, in general, total airborne fungal spore concentrations should be less than approximately 2,000 Spores/m³ inside a conditioned building.

Aspergillus/Penicillium spore counts should be less than 700 Spores/m³ and less than 500 Spores/m³ for outdoor spores such as Alternaria, Ascospores, Basidiospores and Cladosporium etc. At or below these concentrations, the building is considered “clean” and no symptoms should be anticipated in “sensitized”, “non-sensitized” or allergy prone individuals.

The above data suggests that mold spore amplification was not present at the USDA, Agricultural Research Service Western Regional Research Center, 800 Buchanan Street, Albany, CA 94710, North Wing, North Stairwell, Stairway A on the day of sampling and analysis. The primary moisture incursion source (water infiltration) appears to be affecting the plaster walls of the North Wing, North Stairwell, Stairway A.

Refer to Appendix D for the Spore Trap and Laboratory Report and specific genera’s prevalence and individual concentrations at each site number and location.

3. METHODOLOGY

a. 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. 3 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, Unless a patch area

b. 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.

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. 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.

c. PCB Sampling Protocol

Bulk samples of caulking material was manually collected using a cutting device and sealed in a Nasco four-ounce Whirl-Pak®. Samples were then sent to the laboratory for analysis via Method

GC-SVOA 3540C/8082.

d. Spore Trap and Tape Lift Sampling Protocol

Environmental spore trap samples were collected utilizing the Allergenco D Sampling Cassette.

Collection media for environmental aerosol samples consisted of particle sampling cassettes specifically designed for the rapid collection and analysis of a wide range of aeroallergens and bioaerosols. This impaction spore trap sampling and direct microscopic analysis method is routinely used in the Air Quality Industry as a screening method for fungal spore identification.

Each spore trap sample was collected using a calibrated (15 liters per minute for 5-minutes) Bio- Pump Plus manufactured by Zefon International. Tape Lift Samples were collected using clear tape and Grafco Clear/Ground Edges Microscope Slides 25.4 X 76.2 mm.
