1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Aerosol Monitoring & Analysis, Inc. (AMA) was contracted to perform a hazardous materials inspection of the Smithsonian Institution-National Museum of Natural History (NMNH)-Baird
Auditorium located in Washington, D.C. The purpose of the investigation was to identify potential hazardous materials such as asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint (LBP), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and mercury vapor lamps (MVL) that may be disturbed by the proposed renovation to the Baird Auditorium. Between May 22 and June 30, 2023, AMA representatives Gary Urban, Bryan Smalls, Rohan McLaughlin, Ronald Stallard and Nyasha Carter, were on-site to identify, test and evaluate the Baird Auditorium scope of work areas for ACM, LBP, PCB and MVL. Refer to Table IV (Total Hazardous Materials Inventory) for a tabular listing of the hazardous materials identified and the quantities observed during the investigation of the Baird
Auditorium. The inspection included the accessible areas of the auditorium, projection room, subfloor under the seating, stage, backstage, north, south, east and west corridors, four riser shafts in the east and west corridors, mezzanine crawlspace, dressing rooms off the south corridor, west mechanical space and the exterior carriageway windows, door and walls. AMA was unable to fully access the south and west side of the mezzanine crawlspace and the subfloor beneath the stage.
1.1 ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS
AMA collected ninety-one (91) bulk samples of suspect ACMs, which were identified throughout the accessible interior and exterior areas of the Baird Auditorium. Of the 91bulk samples collected, thirteen (13) were identified as containing greater than one percent (>1%) asbestos by polarized light microscopy (PLM) analysis, and one (1) sample was observed to contain <1% asbestos. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have determined that materials containing greater than (>) 1% asbestos are considered asbestos containing materials
(ACM) and must be treated as such. Under OSHA, the employer has the responsibility to ensure that workers are not exposed to airborne levels of asbestos at or above the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for materials with trace amounts of asbestos. Refer to table I for a summary of the asbestos bulk sample results.
Based on the results of the inspection, ACM was identified and or assumed within the following materials:
Spray-on Fireproofing (Stage Ceiling)
Pipe and fitting Insulation (West and South Corridors)
Fibrous Debris (Mezzanine Crawlspace)
Black Foil Duct Insulation Seams
(Mezzanine Crawlspace and Projection Room Attic)
Black Floor tile Mastic (South Corridor Dressing Rooms)
Exterior Window/Door Caulk (Carriage Way-Exterior)
Fire Door Core Insulation (Assumed ACM) (East and West Corridors)
Plaster Wall-Base Coat (<1% Asbestos-Auditorium Walls)
The US EPA requires an inspection for asbestos be performed prior to renovation activities that may disturb such materials (EPA NESHAP 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M).
In addition, the building or facility owners are required to provide information regarding the presence, quantity and location of asbestos containing materials to contractors bidding on or performing work at such facilities (OSHA Asbestos in Construction 29
CFR 1926.1101). In addition to the abatement of ACM to be impacted by renovation activities, it is recommended that the Mezzanine Crawlspace be cleaned of residual debris and the plaster base coat within the auditorium be treated appropriately (ACM) if disturbed. Additionally, the inaccessible areas beneath the stage, and south/west mezzanine crawlspace should be further assessed or treated as asbestos contaminated from the residual ACM observed in adjacent spaces.
1.2 LEAD-BASED PAINT
One hundred fifty (150) surfaces finished with suspect lead-based paint (LBP), were tested during the investigation of the Baird Auditorium with the use of a SciAps X-550
Pb X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) lead-based paint analyzer. Forty-four (44) of the tests/surfaces/building components were determined to contain greater or equal to (>0.7) milligram of lead per square centimeter (mg/cm2) of surface area tested, the amount defined as an LBP according to the District of Columbia. The OSHA has determined that surfaces with measurable amounts of lead must be handled in accordance with the OSHA
Lead in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.62). Refer to Table IIa for a summary of positive XRF readings.
In general, the following building components were identified to have LBP:
Guastavino Tile
Plaster Walls and Moldings
Door Systems (Wood)
Access Panels (Metal)
Ceiling Arch Beams (Metal)
Window Systems (Metal)
Security Gates and Cages (Metal)
In addition to the XRF inspection, the Guastavino tile was tested for lead content via wipe and bulk sample collection and analysis. Eight (8) lead surface wipe and three (3) bulk samples were analyzed from the tiles. The testing determined that the glazed surface was the lead source identified by the XRF, with an additional lead surface contamination present on the glazed tile. The testing demonstrated that a lead surface contamination is present on glazed tile, which is separate from the lead containing glaze itself. The lead surface contamination is cleanable and should be addressed during restoration efforts. Refer to table
IIb and IIc for additional information on lead wipe and bulk results.
Any lead abatement work should be conducted by trained and District licensed lead contractors in accordance with Smithsonian Institution design criteria. If these components are to be removed and disposed of, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 40 CFR 260-268 requires Toxic Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP) testing of the waste stream for lead in order to determine if the material must be disposed of as a lead hazardous waste. Any work that is conducted on painted surfaces with measurable amounts of lead must be done so in accordance with the OSHA Lead in Construction Standard 29
CFR 1926.62, as well as SI design criteria, which has adopted the District of Columbia lead regulation 20 DCMR-Chapter 33, and the EPA waste disposal requirements above.
1.3 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYL’S
1.3.1 PCB BALLAST
Small capacitors and fluorescent light ballasts manufactured after 1978 have been labeled "NO PCB's" by the manufacturers. Prior to 1978, small capacitors and fluorescent light ballasts were not labeled as to whether they contained PCBs;
therefore, all unlabeled capacitors and ballasts were assumed to contain PCBs.
AMA identified and quantified light fixture ballasts throughout the Baird
Auditorium. AMA performed visual inspections of representative fluorescent light fixtures and observed the "No PCB's" label present on the assessed ballasts.
AMA does not anticipate ballasts to be PCB containing. Each light fixture should be inspected and appropriately disposed of during renovation/demolition activities if they are to be removed or replaced. Approximately 25 ballasts were observed.
1.3.2 PCB CAULK/PAINT
AMA collected three (3) PCB in caulk/paint samples for laboratory analysis. The
PCB samples were collected from window/door systems at the Baird Auditorium.
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) enabled the EPA to enact regulations which control the use of PCBs within various building products. In accordance with 40 CFR 761, building applications containing PCBs at levels > 50 parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per kilogram (mg/Kg) are considered PCB contaminated. Based on the results of the PCB analysis, the samples collected were found to contain no detectable PCB, indicating that the building caulking and paint applications tested did not contain regulated amounts of PCBs.
1.4 MERCURY VAPOR LAMPS
Reportable quantities of mercury are often found in fluorescent lamps. Because of this fact, the fluorescent lamps found in the Baird Auditorium should be considered a universal waste for mercury lamps under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA); 40 CFR 273. Based on the observations at the site, it was determined that there are approximately 60 fluorescent lamps present in the scope of work areas of the Baird Auditorium. Multiple broken lamps were observed in the Mezzanine
Crawlspace area.
Unless Toxic Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP) testing for mercury is performed, the light tubes located at the property should be assumed to exceed the regulatory limit of 0.2 milligrams per liter for mercury. These tubes and debris should be removed and must be disposed of as mercury containing (universal waste) unless testing proves otherwise.
2.0 METHODOLOGY
2.1 ASBESTOS-CONTANING MATERIALS
2.1.1 SAMPLE COLLECTION
The initial phase of the evaluation for ACM involved the visual evaluation of the
Baird Auditorium scope of work areas. After reviewing and compiling documentation pertaining to the materials in the buildings, a strategy to sample suspect materials was formulated. The sampling involved observing accessible areas of the Baird Auditorium and collecting bulk samples of suspect materials.
Samples were collected with a core bore or utility knife which was driven through the suspect material to the substrate to obtain a sample containing each discrete layer. The samples were then placed in sterilized “whirl-pak” bags and assigned unique identifiers, which were recorded on the bags and the bulk survey sampling sheets.
2.1.2 BULK SAMPLE ANALYSIS
Bulk samples were submitted to AMA Analytical Services, Inc. in Lanham, Maryland. AMA Analytical Services, Inc. is accredited by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) through the National Voluntary Laboratory
Accreditation Program (NVLAP #101143) for bulk sample analysis and by the
American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA #8863.)
Samples of bulk material were analyzed using PLM following the EPA, “Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials" (EPA/600/R-93-
116). PLM is an optical microscopic technique used to distinguish the different types of asbestos fibers by their shape and unique optical properties. The technique is based on the refraction of light from the various crystalline asbestos structures and observing the corresponding color changes through the microscope. One sample of base coat plaster was upgraded to the point count method based on a result of trace asbestos being identified.
Sample analysis results are listed in Table I of this report.
2.1.3 CHAIN OF CUSTODY
A chain of custody form was completed for the bulk samples. The samples were logged in and assigned unique laboratory numbers. Upon completion of analytical services, AMA Analytical Services, Inc. retained the remaining sample materials.
2.2 LEAD-BASED PAINT
2.2.1 TESTING STRATEGY
The initial phase of the evaluation for LBP involved a visual evaluation of painted surfaces. After reviewing and compiling documentation pertaining to the materials in the scope of work areas, a strategy to assess suspect surfaces was formulated.
2.2.2 XRF TESTING
The lead testing was performed with a direct reading instrument, the SciAps X-
550 Pb X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) lead-based paint analyzer. This XRF contains a gold x-ray tube anode that releases radiation while energized when the instrument is pressed flatly against a surface and the operator engages the trigger.
If the paint contains lead, the radiation will stimulate the lead atoms to re-emit x-rays that are sensed by a detector in the unit. The XRF then converts these signals to a final reading in milligrams of lead per square centimeter of surface area (mg/cm2). The SciAps XRF is capable of achieving a ninety-five percent
(95%) confidence level in the readings.
Calibration of the SciAps X-550 was conducted in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Prior to obtaining readings from suspect surfaces, three (3) calibration readings taken in Quick Mode were performed on a calibration sheet and recorded. The calibration films used contain approximately
1.0 mg/cm2.
2.2.3 LEAD WIPE AND BULK SAMPLING
Lead wipe samples were collected on Guastavino tiles to determine lead surface concentrations. To collect the samples, the surface area was measured and demarcated with tape. Side-to-side passes were made of the entire measured sample surface area. The wipe was then folded inwardly, and the surface was wiped in the same manner in a perpendicular direction. The wipe was then placed into a plastic tube with the contaminated side facing inward. The sample was placed into a 50-milliliter hard shell centrifuge tube with a re-sealable cap and given a unique identification number. Wipe samples were collected from various locations within the Baird Auditorium and a tile sample at the lab. Bulk sample analysis was performed at the lab from a Guastavino tile sample on 3 different layers (glaze only, tile only, glaze and tile).
The samples were submitted to AMA Analytical Services, Inc., located in
Lanham, Maryland, for flame atomic absorption analysis using the
Environmental Protection Agency Method 600/R-93/200(M)-7000B.
2.3 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYL’S
2.3.1 PCB BALLAST
A visual assessment of fluorescent light fixtures that may contain PCB was made by AMA throughout the Baird Auditorium areas. During the assessment, AMA dismantled and visually inspected representative fluorescent light fixtures and identified the "No PCB's" label present on the fluorescent light fixture ballasts assessed.
2.3.2 PCB CAULK/PAINT
The exterior window system and door system paint and caulk samples were collected with an unused utility knife and pliers which were driven through the material to obtain a sample. The samples were then placed in sterilized “whirl-pak” bags and assigned unique identifiers, which were recorded on the bags and the bulk survey sampling sheets.
PCB samples were submitted to Analytics, Inc., located at 10329 Stony Run
Lane, Ashland, Virginia. Bulk samples were analyzed for PCBs utilizing EPA method SW-846 8082. A chain of custody form was filled out for the bulk samples. The samples were logged in and assigned unique lab numbers. Upon completion of analytical services, Analytics Inc. retained the remaining sample materials.
2.4 MERCURY VAPOR LAMPS
A visual assessment of equipment and articles that may contain hazardous materials was made by AMA throughout Baird Auditorium. During the assessment, AMA observed and quantified suspect mercury bulbs and mercury vapor lamps associated with fluorescent light fixtures. No sampling was performed of the lamps.
3.0 RESULTS
3.1 ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS
AMA collected ninety-one (91) bulk samples of suspect ACMs, which were identified throughout the accessible interior and exterior areas of the Baird Auditorium. Of the 91 bulk samples collected, thirteen (13) were identified as containing greater than one percent (>1%) asbestos by polarized light microscopy (PLM) analysis, and one (1) sample was observed to contain <1% asbestos. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have determined that materials containing greater than (>) 1% asbestos are considered asbestos containing materials (ACM) and must be treated as such. Refer to table I and Appendix A for a summary of the results of analysis.
Based on the results of the inspection, ACM was identified and or assumed within the following materials:
Spray-on Fireproofing (Stage Ceiling on Guastavino tile)
Pipe and fitting Insulation (West and South Corridors)
Fibrous Debris (Mezzanine Crawlspace)
Black Foil Duct Insulation Seams
(Mezzanine Crawlspace and Projection Room Attic)
Black Floor tile Mastic (South Corridor Dressing Rooms)
Exterior Window/Door Caulk (Carriage Way-Exterior)
Fire Door Core Insulation (Assumed ACM) (East and West Corridors)
Plaster Wall-Base Coat (<1% Asbestos-Auditorium Walls)
3.2 LEAD-BASED PAINT
One hundred fifty (150) surfaces finished with suspect lead-based paint (LBP), were tested during the investigation of the Baird Auditorium with the use of a SciAps X-550
Pb X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) lead-based paint analyzer. Forty-four (44) of the tests/surfaces/building components were determined to contain greater or equal to (>0.7) milligram of lead per square centimeter (mg/cm2) of surface area tested, the amount defined as LBP according to the District of Columbia. The OSHA has determined that surfaces with measurable amounts of lead must be handled in accordance with the OSHA
Lead in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.62). Refer to Table IIa for a summary of positive XRF readings.
In general, the following building components were identified to have LBP:
Guastavino Tile
Plaster Walls and Moldings
Door Systems (Wood)
Access Panels (Metal)
Ceiling Arch Beams (Metal)
Window Systems (Metal)
Security Gates and Cages (Metal)
In addition to the XRF inspection, the Guastavino tile was tested for lead content via wipe and bulk sample collection and analysis. Eight (8) lead surface wipe and three (3) bulk samples were analyzed from the tiles. The testing determined that the glazed surface was the lead source identified by the XRF, with an additional lead surface contamination present on the glazed tile. The testing demonstrated that lead surface contamination is present on the glazed tile, which is separate from the lead containing glaze itself. The lead wipe results ranged from 2,400 to 7,000 ug/ft2 for the samples collected on site within the Auditorium on Guastavino tile surfaces (wall/ceiling). For comparison, floor surfaces must be < 10 ug/ft2 to achieve clearance after abatement activities. The bulk results demonstrated lead is present in the glaze on the tile in concentrations of 53,000 mg/Kg and 12,000 mg/Kg for the glaze and tile. For comparison, bulk samples >5,000 mg/Kg are defined as lead-based paint under EPA and
HUD. Refer to table IIb and IIc, and Appendix B for additional information on XRF, lead wipe and bulk results.
3.3 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYL’S
3.3.1 PCB BALLAST
Small capacitors and fluorescent light ballasts manufactured after 1978 have been labeled "NO PCB's" by the manufacturers. Prior to 1978, small capacitors and fluorescent light ballasts were not labeled as to whether they contained PCBs;
therefore, all unlabeled capacitors and ballasts were assumed to contain PCBs.
AMA performed a visual evaluation of representative light fixture ballasts utilizing a random selection method. Any ballast absent the “No PCB’s” label was assumed to contain PCBs. Based on this assessment, the ballasts observed by AMA had the
“No PCB’s” label in various locations at the property. No sampling was performed of the electric fluid within the equipment
3.3.2 PCB CAULK/PAINT
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) enabled the EPA to enact regulations which control the use of PCBs within various building products. In accordance with 40 CFR 761, caulking containing PCBs at levels > 50 parts per million
(ppm) or milligrams per kilogram (mg/Kg) is considered PCB contaminated caulk.
Based on the results of the PCB analysis of the samples collected from the exterior window and door systems at the Baird Auditorium-Exterior Carriageway did not contain ≥50 ppm PCB, indicating that the exterior window system, exterior door system caulk and paint tested is not PCB containing.
The comprehensive table, contained within this report, lists the sample number, the type of material collected, sample location, and the results of the laboratory analysis (See Table III). For a detailed description of the locations where the bulk samples were collected, refer to the “PCB Bulk Sampling Survey Sheets” located in Appendix C of this report.
3.3.3 MERCURY VAPOR LAMPS
Reportable quantities of mercury are often found in fluorescent lamps. Because of this fact, the fluorescent lamps found at the Baird Auditorium should be considered a Universal Waste for mercury containing lamps under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); 40 CFR 273. Based on the observations at the site, it was determined that there are approximately 60 fluorescent lamps present in the scope of work areas of the Baird Auditorium. Multiple broken lamps were observed in the Mezzanine Crawlspace area.
4.0 CONCLUSIONS
4.1 ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS
The US EPA and District of Columbia require an inspection for asbestos be performed prior to renovation activities that may disturb such materials (EPA NESHAP 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M). In addition, the building or facility owners are required to provide information regarding the presence quantity and location of asbestos containing materials to contractors bidding on or performing work at such facilities (OSHA Asbestos in Construction 29 CFR
1926.1101). Based on the results of the asbestos inspection, the identified materials must be abated if those materials will be impacted by renovation or demolition activities.
In dealing with asbestos materials during demolition projects, the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) regulation 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M (NESHAP), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 29 CFR 1926.1101 (Asbestos in Construction Standard) and the 20 DCMR, Section 800-Control of Asbestos would be the primary regulations impacting the work.
Regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) means (a) Friable asbestos material, (b)
Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable, (c) Category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or (d) Category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations regulated by this subpart.
Within the EPA’s National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
Asbestos Regulations (40 CFR 61, Subpart M), all regulated asbestos-containing materials must be removed prior to renovation or demolition of a building if they are to be impacted by the renovation/ demolition activities.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA,) in 29 CFR 1926.1101.
“Asbestos in Construction” regulation, defines work involving the removal of asbestos-containing thermal system insulation (TSI) and surfacing material as Class I work. All other asbestos removal work would be defined as Class II work. The Mezzanine crawlspace should be cleaned of asbestos debris prior to other trades conducting work.
The District of Columbia asbestos regulation requirements, 20DCMR, Section 800-Control of Asbestos must be adhered to during asbestos abatement. In summary, these requirements include licensing of the abatement contractor, supervisor and workers, posting caution signs, establishing a regulated work area, utilization of personal protective equipment, utilization of a decontamination area, and notifying the building occupants 30 days in advance of work and the Department of Energy and the Environment (DOEE) 10 days in advance of an abatement project. Final clearance testing must be conducted at the completion of the work.
As the identified or assumed materials may be impacted by the demolition activities, then the asbestos materials would be required to be removed prior to disturbance. The removal would have to be conducted by trained and licensed asbestos abatement personnel utilizing approved engineering controls and personal protective equipment (PPE) established under the regulations.
Additional materials may be encountered during renovation/demolition activities. It is recommended that the Mezzanine Crawlspace be cleaned of residual debris and the plaster base coat within the auditorium be treated appropriately (ACM) if disturbed. Additionally, the inaccessible areas beneath the stage, and south/west mezzanine crawlspace should be further assessed or treated as asbestos contaminated from the residual ACM observed in adjacent spaces
4.2 LEAD-BASED PAINT
Any lead abatement work should be conducted by trained and District licensed lead contractors in accordance with Smithsonian Institution design criteria. If these components are to be removed and disposed of, the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), 40 CFR 260-268 requires Toxic Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP) testing of the waste stream for lead in order to determine if the material must be disposed of as a lead hazardous waste. Any work that is conducted on painted surfaces with measurable amounts of lead must be done so in accordance with the OSHA Lead in
Construction Standard 29 CFR 1926.62, as well as SI design criteria, which has adopted the District of Columbia lead regulation 20 DCMR-Chapter 33, and the EPA waste disposal requirements above.
Furthermore, the lead surface contamination identified on the Guastavino tile should be cleaned as a part of the work.
Regulations established in OSHA’s “Lead in Construction Standard” (29 CFR 1926.62) must be adhered to during demolition and renovation of the surfaces finished with paint containing lead in detectable amounts. This standard established the permissible exposure level (PEL) for lead at 50 micrograms per cubic meter (ug/m3) as an eight-hour time weighted average (TWA); the action level has been established at 30 ug/m3 as an eight-hour
TWA. This regulation also requires employers to use engineering controls and special work practices to reduce worker lead exposure to, at, or below the PEL. It also triggers several requirements regarding exposure monitoring, biological monitoring, and employee training when a worker is exposed to airborne lead levels at or above the action level.
All lead-containing waste is to be handled and disposed of as hazardous waste unless TCLP
(toxic characteristic leaching procedure) testing is performed and indicates otherwise. The waste shall be considered as hazardous when the concentration of lead exceeds 5 parts per million (ppm) by the TCLP. .
4.3 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYL’S
4.3.1 PCB BALLAST
No PCB PCB-containing light ballasts were observed at the site.
4.3.2 PCB PAINT/CAULK
Based on the results of the testing conducted by AMA, the caulk and paint tested at the site was not PCB containing, therefore no further action is necessary.
4.4 MERCURY VAPOR LAMPS
The fluorescent lamps found at the site should be considered a Universal Waste for mercury containing lamps under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA); 40 CFR 273.
There are no specific training requirements for MVL removal and packaging, however, all workers should be trained in the hazards of mercury, as well as handling procedures. Care should be taken that the broken lamps identified in the mezzanine crawlspace are appropriately cleaned up and disposed of.
