1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Watts Architecture & Engineering (Watts) was retained by the Encorus Group (Encorus) to perform a pre-renovation environmental survey for asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in caulks/sealants, mold and a hazardous waste/contaminated materials inventory that may be present at the fire station (Building #16) located on the Canandaigua VA Medical Center (CVAMC) property in Canandaigua, New York.

Watts investigated the interior and exterior of the fire station (building #16) and collected representative bulk samples from each identified suspect material. The purpose of the survey was to determine the presence, location and quantity of ACM, LBP, PCBs, mold and hazardous materials within the building to serve as a guide for future renovations.

The field survey for this report was conducted by Watts’ personnel on September 25, 2018 and included the following:

• A visual site inspection to identify suspect ACM, LBP, PCBs, mold and hazardous materials throughout the building.

• Collection and laboratory analysis of samples for asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls, as appropriate, from each identified suspect material.

• Documentation of suspect ACM and PCB sample locations on a drawing and chain-of-custody forms.

• Performed X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) readings to detect the presence of lead-based paint on suspect surfaces.

• A visual site inspection to identify the presence, location and quantities of mold and Hazardous Waste/Contaminated Materials throughout the building.

• Photographs.

SUMMARY OF ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS

The inspection included the collection of fifty-five (55) asbestos bulk samples representing twenty-six (26) suspect materials identified. ACM is defined as any material containing more than one percent (1%) of asbestos.

Based on the laboratory analysis of samples collected by Watts and visual observations, the following ACM has been identified:

• Glazing compound associated with the exterior window systems located in bays #2 and #3. There is approximately 20 square feet of friable window glazing compound that was observed to be in fair condition.

• 12”x12” tan mottled floor tile and associated black mastic was visually identified in bays #1 and #2 (fire station and transportation & grounds) sections of the building.

There is approximately 850 square feet of non-friable floor tile in good condition.

• Yellow/off-white pebble pattern linoleum flooring was identified in the custodial closet, kitchen, bathroom and shower areas located in bay #1. There is approximately 350 square feet of non-friable linoleum flooring in good condition.

• Thermal system insulation (TSI) is located throughout the ceiling spaces of the fire station. There are multiple lines of TSI adjoining independently mounted ceiling fan units across bays #1, #2 and #3. Asbestos-containing TSI is presumed to be in wall cavities and chases throughout the building. There is approximately 600 linear feet of friable TSI in good condition.

NON-ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS (NON-ACM)

The following materials are present throughout the facility and have been sampled and determined to be non-ACM:

• Exterior door caulk;

• 2’x2’ acoustical ceiling tile;

• Drywall;

• Joint compound;

• 12”x12” floor tile (grey, green mottled & tan/grey pebble pattern);

• Floor tile mastic;

• Cove base;

• Cove base mastic;

• Window caulk;

• Ceramic tile grout;

• Ceramic tile mastic;

• Plaster (top & base coats);

• Ceramic cove base grout;

• Pipe end coating; and

• 2’x4’ acoustical ceiling tile.

Detectable levels of asbestos are present in the following materials but were found to be less than or equal to 1% asbestos and therefore the materials are classified as non-ACM.

• Door window glazing compound (black) – Transportation & Grounds office door;

• Floor tile mastic (black) – Transportation & Grounds lobby area; and

• Window caulk (grey) – Transportation & Grounds lobby area.

Contractors shall follow all federal regulations including those established by OSHA for work involving non-ACM with trace amounts of asbestos.

ASBESTOS BULK SAMPLING AND LABORATORY METHODOLOGY

A NYSDOL-certified asbestos inspector from Watts collected bulk samples of all suspect ACM that was identified in the building. Bulk samples were collected using simple hand tools from each matrix identified as a potential ACM.

Samples were delivered with the proper chain-of-custody forms to a New York State accredited laboratory that is a participant in the Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP) and National Voluntary Laboratory Approval Program (NVLAP). All materials, except non-friable organically bound (NOB) materials and ceiling tiles, were analyzed using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) using ELAP Method 198.1. Ceiling tiles and NOBs, which include but are not limited to, mastics, window caulks, floor tiles, underwent gravimetric reduction prior to being analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) under ELAP Method 198.4. The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) protocol requires analysis by TEM if the PLM analysis does not confirm the presence of asbestos.

LEAD-BASED PAINT

Representative XRF readings were taken on select building components throughout the interior of the fire station (building #16). The list below represents the building components that were tested as part of this investigation. For additional information, refer to the XRF analyzer data table in Section 3.1.

• Floor – grey;

• Sprinkler line – red;

• Electrical panel – grey;

• Window casing – blue;

• Cabinets – black and white (metal and wood);

• Car lift – red;

• Sink – blue and white;

• Overhead door – grey;

• Door jamb/casing – black;

• Door – black;

• Wall – beige (drywall and CMU black);

• Vinyl flooring – tan;

• Radiator – brown;

• Locker – yellow, grey and light grey;

• Wall – green;

• Wall – light blue;

• Drinking fountain – grey;

• Wall – blue;

• Wall – beige;

• Wall – red;

• Wall – off-white;

• Compressor tank – off-white;

• Exterior sill cover – green; and

• Door – charcoal.

The following surfaces were determined to be coated with and/or contain lead based paint (greater than or equal to 1.0 mg/cm2):

• Structural steel supports (including roof deck) - grey;

• Compressor tank – red;

• Plaster wall (bay #2 bathroom) – blue; and

• Overhead door jamb (exterior) – charcoal.

POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS

Watts investigated caulks and sealants within the Canandaigua VA Medical Center, Fire Station (building #16) to determine if polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were present and will be impacted by the renovation project. Two (2) samples were collected from representative locations identified by Watts based on visual observations made at the time of the visit.

The following materials were identified and sampled:

• Black caulk located on the east entrance door to bay #3

• Grey caulk identified on the exterior windows of bay #3

The caulk materials sampled and analyzed did not have concentrations of PCBs greater than the current regulatory action level of 50 ppm; therefore, no special handling or disposal considerations for this material with respect to PCBs.

MOLD OBSERVATIONS

The interior and exterior walls of the fire station (building #16) were constructed primarily using CMU block. During Watts’ investigation conducted on September 25, 2018, mold growth was not observed. However, water staining was identified along the northern wall of the kitchen behind the refrigerator and cabinets in bay #1. The staining is likely due to previous water intrusion (e.g. flooding).

As of January 1, 2016 a Mold Program went into effect in New York State. The Mold Program prescribes licensing requirements and minimum work standards for companies and individuals performing mold consulting and remediation services. According to the New York State Department of Labor, who has been tasked with enforcing the New York State Mold Program, a Mold Project is defined as: mold remediation, mold assessment, or mold abatement, of areas greater than ten (10) square feet undertaken for purpose of mold remediation or abatement. It does not include: routine cleaning, or construction, maintenance, repair or demolition of buildings, structures or fixtures undertaken for purposes other than mold remediation or abatement.

Watts recommends the Canandaigua VA Medical Center review the proposed project activities with respect to the above definition of a Mold Project and the NY State Mold Program. If it is determined that mold remediation work is to be included in this project, a formal Mold Assessment would need to be performed by a New York State-licensed Mold Assessor.

Note: Watts’ evaluation included observations of readily accessible areas, and destructive investigation of walls and ceilings was not performed. The evaluation did not include a structural evaluation or evaluation of any of the other systems (i.e. mechanical, electrical, plumbing).

OBSERVATIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS

The Canandaigua VA Medical Center fire station (building #16) is a single story structure that is divided into 3 separate bays with concrete walls and floors. The fire department along with lodging is located in bay #1 and includes a lounge, kitchen, bathroom with shower facilities.

The transportation & grounds office is located in bay #2 and contains storage lockers, a lobby and bathroom. Bay #3 includes multiple overhead doors, tools, tanks and hydraulic lifts to services vehicles.

There is peeling lead-based paint on the steel supports and bottom of the roof deck throughout the building. Asbestos-containing 12”x12” floor tile and associated mastic are located in the transportation & grounds office space. Thermal system insulation (TSI) has been visually identified within the ceiling spaces and is presumed to be in wall cavities and chases. Asbestos-containing linoleum flooring is present in the custodial closet, kitchen, laundry and shower spaces of bay #1.

Included in this report are: drawings indicating approximate bulk sample locations, chain-of-custody forms, laboratory results, laboratory accreditations, and consultant's license and certification.

It is the belief of Watts that this investigation has identified all suspect asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during the upcoming renovation project. However, if additional suspect materials are identified during the construction period that have not been previously sampled or sampled as part of this assessment, samples of each material should be collected and analyzed for asbestos content.

Sampling and Laboratory Methodology

A NYSDOL-certified asbestos inspector from Watts collected bulk samples of suspect ACM that was identified within the project boundaries. Bulk samples were collected using simple hand tools from each matrix identified as a potential ACM.

Samples were delivered with the proper chain-of-custody forms to a New York State accredited laboratory that is a participant in the Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP) and National Voluntary Laboratory Approval Program (NVLAP). All materials, except non-friable organically bound (NOB) materials and ceiling tiles, were analyzed using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) using ELAP Method 198.1. NOBs, which include but are not limited to, mastics, window caulks, and floor tiles, underwent gravimetric reduction prior to being analyzed by PLM 198.6 and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) under ELAP Method 198.4. The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) protocol requires analysis by TEM to confirm a material is non-ACM if the PLM analysis does not confirm the presence of asbestos.

It is the belief of Watts that this investigation has identified all suspect asbestos-containing materials that will be disturbed by this project. However, if additional suspect materials are identified during the construction period that have not been previously sampled or sampled as part of this assessment, samples of each material should be collected and analyzed for asbestos content.

The following Homogeneous Materials List identifies all suspect materials identified, their approximate sample locations, corresponding sample numbers, and asbestos analytical results:

2.3 – LABORATORY REPORTS AND CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY FORMS

BULK SAMPLE CHAIN-OF-CUSTODY FORM

The purpose of the chain-of-custody form is to reduce the possibility of misidentifying individual samples, to help trace any samples that may be lost, and to provide a record certifying that the samples were delivered to and received by the analytical laboratory.

An important feature of this form is the signature section at the bottom, identifying all persons who handled the samples.

3.0 – LEAD-BASED PAINT

3.0 LEAD-BASED PAINT (LBP)

Painted building components were grouped by testing combinations. A testing combination is characterized by location, component type, substrate, and visible color. Refer to Section 3.1 for a complete listing of all XRF readings that were taken for this project.

Each XRF reading is identified by the component analyzed, the substrate and the paint color of the visible paint film, and where applicable, the side of the room/area it was collected from (A, B, C, or D).

The LBP survey was performed using the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) protocol. Certain aspects of the HUD guidelines are typically applied to public and commercial buildings, most commonly the levels used to establish LBP. HUD defines LBP, when analyzed by a portable XRF, as paint that contains lead at 1.0 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2) or greater. When paint chips are analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), HUD defines LBP as paint containing 0.5 percent or greater (>0.5%) lead by weight.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lead in construction standard applies to all construction work where an employee may be exposed to lead. Therefore, for the purposes of this report, any point that contains lead greater than 1.0 milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm2) is considered to be LBP.

For the purposes of this project, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration’s (OSHA) Lead in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.62) applies. This standard applies to all construction work where an employee may be occupationally exposed to lead. Construction work is defined as work for construction, alteration and/or repair, including painting and decorating. It includes but is not limited to the following:

• Demolition or salvage of structures where lead or materials containing lead are present.

• Removal or encapsulation of materials containing lead.

• New construction, alteration, repair, or renovation of structures, substrates, or portions thereof, that contain lead, or materials containing lead.

• Installation of products containing lead.

• Lead contamination/emergency cleanup.

• Transportation, disposal, storage, or containment of lead or materials containing lead on the site or location at which construction activities are performed; and

• Maintenance operations associated with the construction activities.

XRF Calibration

In order to field verify the calibration and accuracy of the XRF equipment, “calibration checks” are made both by the equipment itself and by the operator. Before the XRF will allow any testing for lead-based paint, it requires a “standardization” reading. This is accomplished by placing the standardization clip over the end of the XRF when prompted by the XRF. Upon the completion of the standardization reading, the XRF will display a Pass or Fail result. If the standardization is successful, the operator checks the calibration of the XRF against National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) lead samples that were provided by the manufacturer. The operator’s calibration checks are taken at the beginning and the end of the testing period, and approximately every four hours, if necessary. The calibration checks are acceptable if the average of the three readings is between 1.0 and 1.1 mg/cm2.

Watts utilized the existing room names identified for the purposes of the testing. The location of each XRF reading was recorded based on the room name. Refer to Section 3.2 for the XRF testing reference drawing.

Disclaimer

This report is based primarily on the results of visual site observations and a general survey of the conditions within the pre-defined project areas throughout the Fire Station (building #16).

Representative XRF readings were taken from each distinct building component within the project areas in order to be able to determine if those components contained lead or were covered with lead-based paint - Watts did not perform a comprehensive inspection (room by room) of all interior and exterior building components.

The lead-based paint survey was performed by Watts on September 26, 2018.

4.0 – POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBs) IN CAULKS/SEALANTS

4.0 POLYCHLROINATED BIPHENYLS IN CAULK/SEALANTS

Watts inspected for the presence of caulks/sealants within the project limits and collected bulk samples that were submitted for the analysis of PCBs.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates PCBs and considers any debris generated from construction materials manufactured with PCBs derived from building renovation projects with a concentration of greater than 50 parts per million (ppm) as PCB non-remediation waste. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations (40 CFR Part

761) prescribe requirements for the proper management of PCB materials, including their handling and disposal. PCB bulk product waste at concentrations >50 ppm must follow specific storage, transport and disposal requirements.

A total of two (2) samples were collected and analyzed by the laboratory. The samples were analyzed by Schneider Laboratories Global, Inc. in Richmond, Virginia. Schneider Laboratories is a New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) approved laboratory and a participant in the National Voluntary Laboratory Approval Program (NVLAP). The samples were analyzed using USEPA SW-846 Method 8082, PCBs.

The following suspect caulk materials were sampled:

• Exterior black caulk on the east entrance door to bay #3

• Exterior grey caulk on north window in bay #3

The caulk materials sampled and analyzed did not have concentrations of PCBs greater than the current regulatory action level of 50 ppm; therefore, no special handling or disposal considerations for this material with respect to PCBs.

5.0 – HAZARDOUS WASTE/CONTAMINATED

MATERIALS INVENTORY

5.0 HAZARDOUS WASTE/CONTAMINATED MATERIALS INVENTORY

Since the entire building is scheduled for renovation, hazardous waste/contaminated materials (HW/CM) must be identified and removed prior to or as part of the renovation/demolition work. The presence, location and quantities of these materials should be determined to allow for proper planning and budgeting of the project and to secure the safety and health of workers and the public during the renovation/demolition work.

Potential environmental issues investigated during the survey of the building include such items of concern as mercury containing light bulbs, gauges, and thermostats; PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls)/DEHP (Di-2-ethylexyl phthalate) fluorescent light ballasts;

emergency exit lighting and other equipment containing batteries; ozone depleting substances used for refrigeration and associated with water coolers, refrigerators, freezers and window or stand-alone air conditioners; and other miscellaneous environmental concerns. This Hazardous Waste/Contaminated Materials Inventory documents the potential environmental concerns and hazardous materials identified within the building.

The Hazardous Waste/Contaminated Materials Inventory was performed to identify suspect materials including mechanical and operational equipment, universal wastes, hazardous substances and other materials that must be removed for proper disposal prior to renovation/demolition of the Fire Station (building #16) at the Canandaigua VA Medical Center in Canandaigua, New York.

The field survey was conducted on September 26, 2018 and resulted in the following general observations:

• Fluorescent light bulbs and ballasts observed throughout the Fire Station

• Oils associated with hydraulic lifts in bay #3

• Oil separator located in the parking lot on the south side of the building

• Exit signs and flood lights with batteries located throughout the building

• Mercury thermostats throughout the building

• Multiple refrigerators located throughout the building

• Smoke detectors with batteries throughout the building

• Two inverter units on the exterior of bay #1

• A variety of miscellaneous materials being stored in the Fire Station, but not a part of the “Hazardous Waste/Contaminated Materials Inventory”, such as:

o Fire extinguishers o Miscellaneous chemicals and solvents

Spray paints Spray adhesives 5 gallon paint buckets Multiple buckets/drums of used oil 55 gallon drums of oil Fiber drums with used aerosol cans Lubricants Several gallons of washer and transmission fluids Multiple compressed oxygen/gas cylinders Car/truck batteries

The items of concern identified during the inspection are listed above. In addition to the identified hazardous materials/waste, there were a variety of hazardous items that were identified during the inspection that are being stored in the fire station (building #16). These items are not considered a part of the Hazardous Waste/Contaminated Materials Inventory, but rather for the Canandaigua VA Medical Center to dispose, relocate, or transport at their own discretion.

5.1 – LISTING OF IDENTIFIED MATERIALS

5.1 SUMMARY TOTALS OF IDENTIFIED MATERIALS

Fluorescent Lights

Currently, almost all fluorescent lamps, when tested, are characterized as a hazardous waste due to their mercury content. On July 6, 1999, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published a final rule in the Federal Register that added hazardous waste lamps to the Universal Waste Rule. On October 22, 1999, NYSDEC issued an Enforcement Directive to allow hazardous waste lamps to be regulated as universal wastes. The Universal Waste Rule allows for less stringent standards for storing, transporting and collecting wastes, however, they still must comply will full hazardous waste requirements for final recycling, treatment or disposal. Disposal/recycling of fluorescent bulbs are conducted by various vendors. Disposal/recycling involves packaging fluorescent lamps to avoid breakage, proper labeling, shipping them by an approved transporter and compliance with applicable disposal regulations.

After conducting the site investigation, Watts estimates that there are approximately 90 fluorescent bulbs that are 4 feet in length. Unless reused, all these should be removed and properly packaged for recycling or disposal.

Ozone Depleting Substances

Watts observed the following items presumed to contain ozone depleting refrigerants that must be properly removed prior to the demolition/renovation of the structure:

• 1 water fountain located outside the bathroom in bay #2

• 4 refrigerators in various areas of the building

• Approximately 7 window air conditioning units throughout the building

For units not salvaged prior to renovation/demolition, refrigerants must be recovered by a licensed heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) contractor. Furthermore, any lubricants associated with the units should also be removed prior to renovation/demolition. The removal and disposal of ozone depleting substances, such as freon, require the recovery and disposal to be in compliance with Section 608 of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA).

PCB/DEHP Light Ballasts

Before the EPA banned the manufacture of PCBs in 1978, PCBs were used in the manufacturing of fluorescent light ballasts. Please note that, all oil-filled light ballasts manufactured since 1978 which do not contain PCBs should be marked by the manufacturer with the statement on a ‘No-PCB’ sticker. The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulates ballasts that contain PCBs under 40 CFR 761.60. In addition, the Comprehensive Emergency Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) regulates the disposal of non-leaking PCB-containing ballasts. CERCLA requires building owners and waste generators to notify the National Response Center at (800) 424-8802 when disposing a pound or more of PCBs (roughly the equivalent of twelve to sixteen (12-16) fluorescent ballasts) in a 24-hour period. New York State environmental regulations also apply to PCB light ballasts and reference labeling, storage, transportation and disposal of PCB ballasts. Disposal of PCB ballasts should be via high-temperature incineration (required if the ballast is leaking), recycling, or chemical/hazardous waste disposal.

Please also note that since the use of PCBs in small capacitors was banned by TSCA for all fluorescent light ballasts, DEHP, a dielectric fluid became the closest substitute. DEHP (or Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate) was used in fluorescent light fixtures from 1980-1991 and it is estimated that approximately 25% of currently installed ballasts or one-half of all non-PCB ballasts contain DEHP. However, DEHP is a probable human carcinogen and listed as a hazardous waste by the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when it is discarded as a commercial chemical product. The Superfund Law (Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act - CERCLA), lists DEHP as a hazardous substance. As a result, the disposal of DEHP ballasts should be handled with the same precautions as the disposal of PCB containing ballasts. The proper disposal of DEHP containing ballasts is by recycling the metals, incineration of the capacitor, and receipt of a Certificate of Destruction.

Watts estimates that there are approximately 45 total ballasts located throughout the building that contain PCBs or DEHP.
