EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Scope and Objectives

GSG-Probe Consulting, Inc. (GSG-Probe) was retained by the Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives (CNI) to conduct a limited hazardous material building survey located at Pullman Administration Building located at 11057 S. Cottage Grove Avenue in Chicago, IL. The purpose of this survey was to identify suspect asbestos-containing material, (ACM), lead-based paint (LBP), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-containing equipment, mercury containing equipment, and mold that may require removal, special handling, and/or disposal prior to planned renovation/demolition areas. The survey included testing for ACM and LBP and visual inspections for the presence of PCBs, mercury containing equipment, and mold.

The hazardous material building survey was conducted between July 31, 2019 to August 06, 2019.

The survey was conducted by Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) Licensed Asbestos and Lead Inspectors. Other hazardous materials were visually assessed surveys by trained environmental specialists.

Findings

Asbestos-Containing Materials: The ACM survey did not identify the presence of ACM in the administration building. In general, the following suspect materials were sampled for ACM during this survey: brick and mortar, CMU, various caulking, drywall system, terrazzo, wire insulation, and spray-on fireproofing. Materials that were inaccessible at the time of survey and will be considered assumed are the fire doors, roof fields and flashings, roof caulking. These materials were new and were currently being installed, GSG-Probe did not want to damage the newly installed materials.

Materials sampled are summarized in Tables 3.1a and 3.1b. Full sample results can be found in (Appendix A).

Lead-Based Paint: LBP was identified on some of the painted components/surfaces tested during this survey in the administrative building. Some areas that contain LBP are: metal doors systems and concrete ceiling. All surfaces tested can be found in Table 3.2, and field XRF sheets in (Appendix D).

Mold: Visible suspect mold growth was not observed in the existing building at the time of the survey.

3.1 INTRODUCTION

GSG-Probe Consulting, Inc. (GSG-Probe) was retained by the Chicago Neighborhood Initiatives (CNI) to conduct a limited hazardous material building survey located at Pullman Administration Building located at 11057 S. Cottage Grove Avenue in Chicago, IL.

3.1 Scope and Objectives

The purpose of this survey was to identify the location, condition and quantity of asbestos-containing material (ACM), lead-based paint (LBP), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) containing equipment, mold, and universal waste that may require removal, special handling and/or disposal prior to planned renovation/demolition areas associated with the project.

The asbestos survey was conducted to satisfy requirements of the USEPA regulations under 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), and the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) protocols which apply when buildings are demolished or renovated. Although regulations requiring pre-renovation or pre-demolition surveys do not exist for mercury-containing light tubes and equipment or PCB-containing equipment, contractors should be notified of the presence of these materials in areas where demolition/renovation activities might result in potential employee exposure to mercury, PCBs, or other hazardous materials, so that they can take the necessary actions to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements and USEPA disposal requirements. Disposal of PCB-containing fluorescent light ballasts, caulks, transformers, and oils is regulated by the USEPA under 40 CFR 761 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Manufacturing, Processing, Distribution in Commerce, and Use Prohibitions. Disposal of mercury-containing fluorescent light tubes as universal waste is regulated under 40 CFR 273 Standards for Universal Waste Management. Disposal of mercury from other sources is regulated under 40 CFR 260-262 Hazardous Waste standards.

1.2 General Qualifications

The results, findings, conclusions and recommendations expressed in this report are based on conditions observed during GSG-Probe’s survey of the building. The information contained in this report represents conditions at the time of the survey and may not accurately represent conditions at a later date. The conclusions in this report are based on conditions observed in surveyed areas.

However, the possibility exists that suspect hazardous building materials may exist within wall cavities, voids, or other areas hidden from view which were not observed and cannot be ruled out.

Any additional potential hazardous materials encountered that will be disturbed during demolition/renovation activities and that differ from the components/surfaces tested during this

Chicago, Illinois survey, were hidden from view, or were located in an area not accessible will require further sampling and analysis prior to disturbance. The estimated quantities provided herein should be considered approximate and are accurate to the extent allowable under the terms and conditions of our contract. This report has been prepared with generally accepted industry practices and procedures. No other warranty, either expressed or implied, is made.

2.0 SURVEY METHODOLOGY

This section describes GSG-Probe’s hazardous materials building survey approach and methodologies that were utilized during the field investigation activities. The hazardous materials building survey included performing the following tasks:

• ACM Inspection and Testing

• LBP Inspection and Testing

• Mold Visual Inspection

• PCB Visual Inspection

• Universal Wastes Visual Inspection

The following sections present an overview of the approach for each type of survey completed as part of this project.

2.1 Asbestos-Containing Materials

GSG-Probe began the asbestos sampling activities with a visual assessment, identification and inventory of readily visible and accessible homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. A homogeneous area consists of building materials that appear similar throughout in terms of color and texture. The interior assessment was conducted throughout visually accessible interior areas. Building materials identified as concrete (not including cement panels or pipe and soft concrete), glass (includes fiberglass), wood, masonry, metal, plastics are not considered suspect ACM and were not sampled.

A physical assessment of each homogeneous area of suspect ACM was conducted to assess the friability and condition of the materials. A friable material is defined by the EPA as a material which can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry. Friability was assessed by physically touching suspect materials.

Bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in general accordance with EPA sampling protocols, based on the results of the visual observation. Random samples of suspect materials were collected of each homogeneous material. Samples were placed in new sealable containers and labeled with unique sample numbers using an indelible marker. All non-disposable sampling equipment was wet wiped and cleaned before and after each use.

A total of fifty-three (53) bulk samples were collected from various homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. Bulk samples were collected from the following materials:

Chicago, Illinois

• Interior Brick & Mortar

• Interior CMU

• Terrazzo Flooring

• Drywall System (Drywall, Tape, Compound)

• Red Fire Stop Caulking

• Black “Waxy” Wire Insulation (Brittle) Straight Conduit Run

• Black Cloth “Smooth” Wire Insulation Inside Junction Box

• White Cloth Wire Insulation Inside Junction Box

• Red Cloth Wire Insulation Inside Junction Box

• Exterior Window Caulk “White”

• Exterior Expansion Joint Compound “Black”

• Exterior Brick & Mortar

• Orange Spray-On Fireproofing

Bulk samples were submitted under chain-of-custody to STAT Analysis Corporation (STAT) in Chicago, Illinois for analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining techniques per EPA methodology 600/R-93-116. The percentage of asbestos, where applicable, was determined by microscopic visual estimation. STAT is accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP Accreditation No. 101202-0). Refer to (Appendix G) for laboratory accreditations. Individual layers (when present) were analyzed and the results were reported separately. For the purpose of this limited building survey, GSG-Probe derived its definition of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which classifies ACM as “any product containing more than one percent (1%) asbestos by volume, when analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM)”. Further analysis by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Methods was utilized for materials that tested negative by PLM and are non-friable (i.e. floor tiles).

Chicago, Illinois

2.2 Lead Based Paint

The LBP survey was conducted in accordance with U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelinesa. The survey included a visual inspection to identify suspect material, analysis of suspect material, and data recording. The objective of the testing was to identify painted surfaces with a concentration of lead above 1.0 mg/cm2 by x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, the criteria established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and HUD for classification of lead-based paint. The survey was performed by an IDPH-Licensed Lead Inspector using an XRF spectrum analyzer; RMD Model LPA-1 (Serial Number 3419) manufactured by Protect Instrument Corporation of Waltham, MA. A copy of the inspector’s license and training certificate are provided in (Appendix F).

A portable XRF analyzer was used due to its demonstrated ability to determine if LBP is present on numerous types of surfaces, analyze the paint without destructive sampling or paint removal, and provide sample results immediately and at a relatively low cost per sample. Portable XRF instruments expose a building component to x-rays or gamma radiation, which causes lead to emit x-rays with a characteristic frequency or energy. The intensity of this radiation is measured by the instrument. The inspector then compares the displayed value (reading) on the analyzer with the inconclusive range or threshold specified in the XRF Performance Characteristic Sheet referred in (Appendix E) for the specific substrate being tested. If the reading is less than the lower boundary of the inconclusive range, or less than the threshold, then the reading is considered negative. If the reading is greater than the upper boundary of the inconclusive range, or greater or equal to the threshold, then the reading is considered positive. Readings within the inconclusive range, including its boundary values, are considered inconclusive. Because the inconclusive ranges and/or thresholds shown in the Performance Characteristic Sheet are based on 1.0 mg/cm2, positive and negative readings are consistent with the HUD definition of lead-based paint for identification purposes.

2.3 Mold

GSG-Probe conducted an inspection of areas potentially affected by planned renovation/demolition activities to identify the presence and general locations of suspected mold and areas with evidence of moisture intrusion that may be conductive to microbial growth. The survey was conducted in accordance with EPA guidelines (Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings, EPA Office of Air and Radiation, Indoor Environments Division, March 2001b) and was limited to a visual non-intrusive examination. Sampling and laboratory testing to confirm the presence and determine the type(s) of mold present were not conducted as part of this survey.

b U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. “Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings”. EPA 402 K 01001. Office of Air and Radiation, Indoor Environments Division. March 2001.

2.4 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs)

GSG-Probe performed a visual inspection of the proposed impacted areas to determine and quantify the presence of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-containing fluorescent light ballasts. The inspection was performed in the administration building to identify suspect materials and review existing labeling for information regarding its PCBs content. GSG-Probe did not attempt to collect samples from suspect equipment due to potential electrical hazards. PCBs are regulated under 40 CFR 761.

2.5 Universal Waste

GSG-Probe performed a visual inspection of the proposed impacted areas to determine and quantify the presence of mercury-containing equipment, fluorescent light tubes, and CFC refrigerants.

Universal waste is regulated under 40 CFR 273.

3.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

3.1 Asbestos-Containing Materials

Bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected and analyzed for the presence of asbestos. Results are summarized in Tables 3.1a and 3.1b and include a description of each material, location, material type, test results, and estimated quantity. Each suspect material was placed into one of three material categories: thermal systems insulation (TSI), surfacing materials (SURF), or miscellaneous materials (MISC). Materials confirmed to contain greater than one percent (1%) asbestos by PLM analysis are indicated to have a “positive” result and are therefore classified as ACM. Materials indicated to have a “negative” result were confirmed by PLM analysis to be non-asbestos containing. Sample location drawings are provided in (Appendix B). Reference photographs are provided in (Appendix C).

For the purpose of this building survey, GSG-Probe derived its definition of ACM from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which classifies ACM as “any product containing more than one percent (1%) asbestos by volume, when analyzed by PLM”.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

4.1 Asbestos-Containing Materials

The ACM survey did not identify ACM in the administration building. In general, the following suspect materials were sampled for ACM during this survey: brick and mortar, CMU, various caulking, drywall system, terrazzo, wire insulation, and spray-on fireproofing. Materials that were inaccessible at the time of survey and will be considered assumed are the fire doors, roof fields and flashings, roof caulking. These materials were new and were currently being installed, GSG-Probe did not want to damage the newly installed materials. Materials sampled are summarized in Tables 3.1. Full sample results can be found in (Appendix A).

GSG-Probe recommends the preparation of an asbestos abatement project design prior to any renovation activities in which ACM may be impacted. An asbestos abatement design plan and specifications should include information regarding the location of containments and barriers, type of sealant, and air sampling requirements and clearance during the asbestos abatement activities.

The asbestos design plan and specification shall be prepared and signed by an IDPH licensed asbestos project designer in accordance with Illinois regulations. Asbestos abatement work shall be conducted by a licensed abatement contractor under the supervision of a licensed asbestos project manager in accordance with all applicable Federal, state, and local regulations.

Any suspect material that is discovered during the renovation/demolition activities and is not listed in Tables 3.1a and 3.1b, was not tested during this survey. Such material shall be assumed and treated as ACM until tested and proven otherwise.

For any ACM that will remain in the building following renovation, GSG-Probe recommends that the material be properly managed to prevent any potential fiber releases in accordance with an Operations & Maintenance Plan.

4.2 Lead-Based Paint

The LBP survey identified LBP on some painted surfaces/components tested during this survey in the administration building. Some areas that contain LBP are: metal doors systems and concrete ceiling. The specific materials surveyed are summarized in (Table 3.2) and can be found on the field XRF sheets in (Appendix D).

GSG-Probe recommends that prior to any demolition/renovation activities in which LBP surfaces/components may be impacted or disturbed, a lead mitigation/abatement project design/work plan shall be prepared. The design/work plan shall include information regarding lead-

Chicago, Illinois based paint locations, exposure assessment, and lead-based paint waste handling, removal, and disposal. Also, all LBP mitigation/abatement work shall be performed and supervised by properly trained workers and supervisors, along with using industry accredited contractors specializing in this type of LBP abatement under the monitoring of an environmental consultant. The mitigation/abatement work shall be performed in accordance with applicable local, state, and federal regulations, including but not limited to: IDPH Lead Poisoning Prevention Act (Title 77, Part 845);

Illinois Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS); Occupational Safety and Health Regulations (1926.62); EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP), and Municipal Codes of Chicago (Title 11, Chapter 11-4).

For the surfaces/components that tested negative during this survey, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Lead in Construction Standard states that “negative” readings (i.e.

those below the HUD/EPA definition of what constitutes LBP (1.0 mg/cm2) DO NOT relieve contractors from performing exposure assessments (personal air monitoring) on their employees per the OSHA Lead Standard, and should not be interpreted as lead is not present. Although a reading may indicate “negative”, airborne lead concentrations still may exceed the OSHA Action Level or the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) depending on the work activity. GSG-Probe recommends that prior to any renovation activities in the building, engineering control measures be implemented in the renovation area to minimize the generation of dust, and site worker and occupant exposures to lead.

For any surfaces/components that are not listed in Table 3.2 and (Appendix D) were not tested during this survey, such surfaces/components shall be assumed and treated as LBP until tested and proven otherwise.

4.3 Mold

The mold survey did not identify any suspect mold growth or biological material at the time of the inspection. Any suspect biological material or growth discovered during renovation/demolition activities shall be addressed by environmental consultants prior to any disturbance to that material/growth.

4.4 Polychlorinated Biphenyls

GSG-Probe performed a visual assessment of a selected number of random light fixtures and switch boxes to identify PCB-containing equipment in the building. Although none of the ballasts or switch boxes inspected were identified as “No PCB-containing”, the potential for their presence within the building exists due to the age of the facility and not every ballast was inspected during the survey. All ballasts or switch boxes which are not identified as non-PCB containing must be considered to be

Chicago, Illinois

PCB-containing and must be managed as PCB-containing waste in compliance by the EPA regulations under 40 CFR 761. Ballasts or switch boxes labeled as “No PCB’s” do not require special handling or disposal.

4.5 Universal Wastes

During the visual survey, GSG-Probe identified fluorescent light fixtures throughout the administration building. The bulbs in these fixtures may contain mercury. We recommend that a qualified contractor remove and dispose of the mercury devices in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Written evidence should be provided by the disposal company certifying that the hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facility is approved for mercury disposal by the USEPA and state or local regulatory agencies. Disposal of mercury-containing fluorescent light tubes and fire alarm strobes as universal waste is regulated under 40 CFR 273. Disposal of mercury from other sources is regulated under 40 CFR 260-262.
