EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Arc Environmental, LLC (Arc Environmental) performed a pre-renovation hazardous materials survey of the 1st National Bank located at 120 S. 3rd Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Site). The purpose of the survey was to evaluate building materials likely to be impacted by the planned renovation and/or demolition activities of the windows at the Site. The survey included the limited assessment and sampling of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and lead-based paint (LBP). The survey was performed on December 2, 2019.

During the survey, a total of 15 bulk samples were collected from 7 suspect homogenous areas identified throughout the Site. Based on the findings of the asbestos survey, two (2) of the sampled homogenous materials were confirmed by laboratory analysis to be asbestos-containing materials. Identified ACMs include: grey/white exterior window glazing on the north side windows and grey/white exterior window caulk on the first floor east side windows at the Site. Section 2.0 provides additional details regarding the findings of the asbestos survey.

The lead-based paint screening was conducted at the Site using a portable X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) device. On-site testing was performed as a screening to determine if LBP was present at the Site. The testing revealed the presence of lead-based paint on window components including interior sills, interior casings, interior shutters, interior jambs, exterior casings, and exterior jambs. Section 3.0 provides details regarding the LBP survey.

1.0 Introduction

Arc Environmental, LLC (Arc Environmental) was retained by GWWO Architects to perform a pre-renovation hazardous material survey for asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint at the 1st National Bank (Site). The Site is located at 120 S. 3rd Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The inspection included the assessment and sampling of suspect, accessible asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and representative testing of painted/coated building components to identify lead-based paint (LBP). The findings of the survey are presented in this report. The survey was conducted by Arc Environmental on December 2, 2019.

2.0 Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey

2.1 Methodology

The asbestos survey included the identification, assessment, and sampling of suspect asbestos-containing materials. The survey was conducted under protocols established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 763 Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and 40 CFR 61 Subpart M, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). The asbestos survey was performed by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)-trained and City of Philadelphia Certified Asbestos Investigator, Mr. Jim Lovell. A copy of the investigator’s training certificate is included in Appendix C.

During the survey, Arc Environmental collected a total of 15 bulk samples from 7 suspect homogenous materials which may be impacted as part of the planned renovation/demolition project. The bulk samples of suspect ACMs were submitted, along with the corresponding chain-of-custody forms, to EMSL Analytical, Inc. (EMSL) to determine the presence of asbestos in the sampled materials. EMSL is accredited for asbestos analysis in bulk materials through the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). A copy of the laboratory’s NVLAP accreditation is included in Appendix A of this report.

The bulk samples were analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM/Dispersion Staining following the EPA method 600/ R-93/116, July 1993, Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials). Based on the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (USEPA’s) definition, a material which contains greater than one percent (1%) asbestos, as determined using the methods specified in Appendix E, Subpart E, 40 CFR Part 763, Section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), is considered an ACM and must be handled according to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), USEPA, and the city of Philadelphia regulations.

The findings and quantities of verified ACM are summarized in Table 1, Identified Asbestos-containing Materials. A copy of the chain of custody forms and Laboratory Analytical Results are included in Appendix A.

2.2 Findings and Recommendations

Table 1 below lists the confirmed ACMs identified at the Site. A complete list of the building materials sampled during this survey is presented in Appendix B. It is recommended that if additional suspect materials not identified in this report are uncovered/exposed during demolition or construction activities, the materials should be assumed to contain asbestos or sampled and analyzed for asbestos content to determine if they are ACMs.

Window caulking and window glazing are considered a Category II Non-friable material by the USEPA.

Category II Non-friable materials are regulated if they have a high probability of becoming or have become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to impact the materials during the course of demolition activities.

ACMs which will be impacted by renovation and/or demolition activities should be removed prior to disturbance. Disturbance and/or proper removal of ACM from the Site must be performed by personnel trained in accordance with EPA, OSHA, and the city of Philadelphia regulations for asbestos-related activities; abatement of ACMs must be conducted by a Philadelphia-licensed asbestos removal contractor.

A licensed asbestos consultant should be retained to conduct oversight and air-monitoring during abatement activities.

No exterior access to the basement windows was available. In addition, if other suspect materials are encountered during demolition that may be impacted, these materials should be sampled and analyzed by PLM to verify asbestos content, or be assumed as ACM, prior to disturbance. A complete list of the suspect materials sampled during this survey is presented in Appendix B.

3.0 Lead-based Paint Survey

3.1 Methodology

Painted surfaces within the project area were visually inspected to determine their condition. A lead-based paint survey was conducted using an X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrum Analyzer on painted building surfaces and/or components. Surfaces that are intact or non-deteriorated condition (as defined by the U.S.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Guidelines) do not pose an immediate health risk, regardless of the lead content. Leaded paint in poor condition is a priority lead-hazard and should be promptly addressed using approved Lead Safe Work Practices.

Mr. Ray Goodwin, a Pennsylvania licensed Lead-based Paint Risk Assessor, performed the lead screening at the Site. A copy of Mr. Goodwin’s training certificate is included in Appendix C. The screening included 67 XRF readings, including six calibration checks to ensure that the instrument is within acceptable calibration parameters. Lead-based paint, when tested via XRF, is defined by the State of Pennsylvania as paint having lead concentrations greater than 1.0 milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm²). The results of the lead-based paint survey are summarized in the XRF Lead-based Paint Inspection Data Sheets included in Appendix D.

The lead screening did not include testing of every painted surface within the project area; rather its intention is to characterize groups of similar components and coatings. If similar components with the same substrate and paint to those identified below are encountered during renovation activities, they are to be treated as lead-based paint affected.

3.2 Results

Of the 67 field screening shots, 42 of the XRF readings obtained from surfaces and coatings within the project area were found to contain lead in levels greater than the 1.0 mg/cm2 guideline for lead-based paint for Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). All of the XRF readings are detailed on the “XRF Lead-Based Paint Testing Data Sheets” attached to this report and are given in mg/cm2.

3.3 Conclusions and Recommendations

Forty-two (42) of the tested components from the building were determined to be affected with lead-based paint. Components identified to be affected with lead-based paint or lead-based coatings include:

interior sills, interior casings, interior shutters, interior jambs, exterior casings, and exterior jambs.

The OSHA Lead in Construction standard applies to all construction work where an employee may be occupationally exposed to lead. This standard does not indicate a specific percentage or mass per area (mg/cm2) of lead in paint that is permissible during construction/demolition activities. There is no acceptable concentration for lead under the OSHA lead standard that eliminates the requirement for contractors to comply with this regulation. Due to lead-based and lead-containing paint (paint containing detectable levels of lead but having concentrations below the lead-based paint threshold) associated with the Site, OSHA worker protection requirements for lead must be followed during renovation and/or demolition activities.

Building renovation and/or demolition activities have the potential to produce hazardous waste if lead-based paint is dry scraped, dry sanded, or heated. All renovation activities must incorporate lead Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) testing of the construction debris prior to its disposal in accordance with the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The hazardous waste criteria for lead waste is established under RCRA, Subtitle C, as 5.0 milligrams per liter (mg/L) measured with the TCLP as listed in CFR 40 Part 261. A representative sample of anticipated or generated waste stream (i.e., demolition debris) should be collected for purposes of TCLP testing to determine disposal options.

The lead-based paint debris generated during demolition should be handled in accordance with all applicable Federal and the state of Pennsylvania regulations.
