VA Montana Healthcare contracted with Ingraham Environmental Inc. (IEI) to perform the NESHAP asbestos identification inspection of certain elements of Buildings 2, 3, 5, & 10 at the Miles City, MT VA Medical Campus.

The purpose of the identification inspection was to identify materials that need to be abated prior to the renovation of the structure pursuant to the NESHAP requirements (40 CFR 763 Subpart E).

The regulations require the owner to have the facility inspected for the presence of asbestos containing material(s) (ACM) prior to construction, renovation or demolition projects and provide the information obtained to all contactors, sub‐contractors and/or employees involved. The State of Montana requires that the inspection be performed by a Montana accredited inspector. Below you will find the scope, date(s) of the inspection(s) and the accreditation(s) of the inspector(s).

Inspection Date: August 7, 2014

Asbestos Regulatory Background

The intent of the inspection was to identify suspect materials, assume that materials contain asbestos, collect samples of materials to determine if they are ACM and assess the friability of these materials. Materials that were assumed to contain asbestos or that were identified as containing greater than 1% asbestos were categorized as a regulated asbestos containing material (RACM), Category I Non‐friable ACM or Category II Non‐friable ACM based on the type and the condition of the material.

The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (40 CFR Part 61) defines the three categories.

RACMs are:

Friable asbestos materials

Category 1 & 2 non‐friable materials which have become friable

Category 2 non‐friable ACM that will or has been subjected to sanding grinding, cutting or abrading

Category 2 non‐friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become friable by the forces expected to act upon them in the course or demolition or renovation

Category 1 non‐friable materials include gaskets, packings, resilient floor coverings and asphalt roofing products containing more that 1% asbestos.

Category 2 non‐friable materials are all non‐friable materials not included in Category 1.

This asbestos inspection was limited to materials that were readily accessible. The inspection did not include extensive demolition of walls, ceilings, subsurface materials or similarly enclosed or encased building components or equipment, particularly floor to floor pipe chases.

Homogeneous materials are materials that are considered consistent throughout an area of the building based on the material’s appearance, including texture size and color, manufacturers’ labels and or construction era.

Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBMs) are placed into one of three general material categories which include surfacing materials, thermal system insulation, and miscellaneous materials. Surfacing materials are spray or trowel applied materials such as plasters, acoustical, or texturing products. Thermal system insulation materials are associated with HVAC systems and include pipe, boiler, tank insulation, duct insulation, seam tape, pipe insulation, and chimney or flue insulation. The final category is the miscellaneous materials which is any material that does not fall into one of the two prior categories. These include, but are not limited to: floor finishes, adhesives, cement asbestos boards, gypsum wall board, ceiling tiles, and window glazing.

After the category of building material is assessed, the condition is determined. Materials are divided into two condition categories: friable and non‐friable. This describes the materials potential to release asbestos fibers.

17.74.352 defines friable asbestos containing materials as any material containing more than 1% asbestos applied on ceilings, walls, structural members, piping, ducting, or any other part of a structure which when dry may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. This also includes non‐friable material that may become damaged through such actions as sawing, grinding, abrading or chipping and may become friable and release fibers.

In accordance with state and EPA regulations, any material which test at less than 1% asbestos is not regulated by the state of Montana or the EPA. However, the State of Montana, by EPA reference, requires that any material less than 1% asbestos be confirmed by EPA 600 Method 400 or 1000 Point Count. OSHA safety regulations still apply no matter the asbestos content.

Scope of Inspection

The scope of the inspection included the roofing materials on Buildings 2, 3, 5, & 10. It also included the popcorn texture in texture in Buildings 2 & 3. These are the only areas from which samples were collected. Finally, only the materials listed on the attached chain of custody, described in the assumed materials and recommendation sections below have been inspected. Any materials not inclusive of the aforementioned location has NOT been inspected and will require additional testing. Please provide this information to all persons working in this area.

Assumed Materials

No materials were assumed to be asbestos containing.

Sampling

Testing of the suspect materials that were not assumed to contain asbestos was completed in accordance with state and federal regulation on the date(s) above by Marc Ingraham. These samples were sent to CEI Laboratories to be analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) EPA 600 Method. The report of those samples is attached.

Sixty‐four (64) samples were collected from the buildings. Of those samples, two materials, both popcorn textures found in Buildings 2 & 3 tested positive for greater than 1% asbestos. These materials, and the other materials assumed to be asbestos, and the recommended response actions are summarized on the chart below.

Please provide this report information to your contractor. If they should discover a material that was not readily accessible to the inspector during the occupied building inspection, they will know if it has been tested or if they need to contact IEI for further testing.

Summary & Recommendations

When evaluating the materials listed in the table below please remember that all homogenous materials (materials with the same manufacturing period, with similar size, shape, texture, color and install date) must be considered in the same manner. For example, an asbestos containing tile tested in one location in the building to greater than 1%. If this same tile is found in another area in the building then it too must be considered asbestos containing.

Summary information for the asbestos containing materials identified and general response action recommendations, based on the inspector’s understanding that this facility is intended for renovation, are below.

The following asbestos laden materials were found in the structures. The table below summaries the material(s):

Response action 1 –Regulated Asbestos Materials – Class I abatement required if impacted Buildings 2 & 3 was textured with a regulated asbestos containing texturizing material. This texture (surfacing material) is composed of approximately 2% Chrysotile Asbestos. Regulated materials, greater than three square feet) must be removed by an OSHA competent person, accredited by the Montana DEQ Asbestos Control Program, under an appropriately applied for permit. At this time this material is not recommended to impact this material until abated. If the material must be impacted consult an experienced abatement contractor able to remove the material in the proper manner. Regulated abatements require EPA/DEQ notice and a permit application and at least 10 days prior to abatement. Additional testing may, or may not, reduce the actual square footage of abatement by being able to delineate additional homogenous areas.

All Categories

Again, when evaluating the materials listed in the table above please remember that all homogenous materials (materials with the same manufacturing period, with similar size, shape, texture, color and install date) must be considered in the same manner. For example an asbestos containing tile tested in one location in the building is found to be greater than 1%. If this same type of tile is found in another area in the building then it too must be considered asbestos containing.

Until the time of renovation or abatement, avoid disturbing all asbestos materials. Properly inform all contractors and other employees of the risks associate with these materials. All waste must be properly disposed of according to state and federal regulations.

These recommendations are not intended to be used as removal specifications. It is the owner’s responsibility to provide specific response action information to the proper regulatory agencies; including the Montana DEQ. These specific regulated response actions should be completed by an accredited State of Montana Project Designer prior to any renovation project. Non‐regulated projects do not require notification or permitting, but do require OSHA competent person(s) to oversee the work. It is also the responsibility of the owner to ensure compliance with all Federal and State regulations, statutes, rules and codes.

Please keep this inspection report on site for all renovation or demolition activities covered by this report. Non‐ regulated projects and renovation do not require notifications, however, demolitions and regulated abatements

Conclusion Marc Ingraham and Ingraham Environmental Inc. certify this inspection to be comprehensive and in substantial compliance with the requirements of NESHAP and State of Montana Regulations.

During the inspection process the inspector is required to assess the current condition of ACM and determine its potential for disturbance based on foreseeable renovation and/or demolition. There is no precise method to determine these factors. The inspector must rely on judgment and experience. When asked to predict and speculate future condition when determining the potential for disturbance, he will error on the side of public safety and shall choose the category that will provide the highest degree of protection from potential exposure to asbestos fibers.

The provided recommendations and response actions are to provide the client with general guidelines on how to proceed with the scheduled renovations and/or demolition activities. This report is not intended to be used as a design document as is required for an asbestos removal project.

Marc Ingraham and Ingraham Environmental Inc. shall not be held responsible for non‐identification of asbestos containing materials which:

Not common to the construction industry

Require destructive testing, extensive demolition, or disassembly of equipment to access

For information prepared by others.

And for area that were not safely accessible to the inspector.

Asbestos assessment and identification is representative of the day that the inspection was performed. Marc Ingraham and Ingraham Environmental Inc. shall not be held responsible for changed or differing site conditions which may have occurred since the performance of the inspection and shall not be held responsible for the client’s use of this report in determining the renovation or demolition requirements to comply with state and federal regulations. Should you have any additional questions, concerns or clarifications on this report or the inspection, please feel free to contact our offices at your earliest convenience.

Respectfully, Douglas Ingraham Ingraham Environmental Inc.

The detection limit for the method is <1% by visual estimation and 0.25% by 400 point counts or 0.1% by 1,000 point counts.

Due to the limitations of the EPA 600 Method, nonfriable organically bound materials (NOBs) such as vinyl floor tiles can be difficult to analyze via polarizing light microscopy (PLM). EPA recommends that all NOBs analyzed by PLM, and found not to contain asbestos, be further analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Please note that PLM analysis of dust and soil samples for asbestos is not covered under NVLAP accreditation.

CEI Labs, Inc. can perform positive stop analysis if requested by customer. However, it is the responsibility of the customer to determine if the samples grouped together are in fact the same type of material and belong to the same homogeneous area.

Non-Trem = Non-Asbestiform Tremolite Calc Carb = Calcium Carbonate

The detection limit for the method is <1% by visual estimation and 0.25% by 400 point counts or 0.1% by 1,000 point counts.

Due to the limitations of the EPA 600 Method, nonfriable organically bound materials (NOBs) such as vinyl floor tiles can be difficult to analyze via polarizing light microscopy (PLM). EPA recommends that all NOBs analyzed by PLM, and found not to contain asbestos, be further analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Please note that PLM analysis of dust and soil samples for asbestos is not covered under NVLAP accreditation.

CEI Labs, Inc. can perform positive stop analysis if requested by customer. However, it is the responsibility of the customer to determine if the samples grouped together are in fact the same type of material and belong to the same homogeneous area.
