RE: VAMC Buffalo – Building 1 – Rooms B64, B64A, B44B-1 and the Morgue Corridor Asbestos Targeted Sampling Letter Report

Dear Mr. Gardner:

Watts Architecture & Engineering (Watts) was retained by the Veterans Administration Medical Center (VAMC) to conduct a pre-renovation survey for asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in Rooms B64, B64A, B44B-1 and the Morgue Corridor in Building 1 at the Buffalo VAMC located at 3495 Bailey Avenue in Buffalo, NY.

The purpose of this survey was to determine the presence and location of ACM that may be disturbed as a result of planned renovations. This letter report contains the results of our investigation.

Field work was conducted on November 23, 2020 and included the following:

• Visual site observations to identify suspect ACM as directed by Buffalo VAMC personnel.

• Collection and laboratory analysis of bulk samples for asbestos content.

• Documentation of sample locations on the bulk sample chain-of-custody form; and

• Photographs.

ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS

The inspection included the collection and analysis of thirty-two (32) bulk samples to represent fourteen (14) suspect materials. ACM is defined as any material containing more than one percent (1%) of asbestos. The following material within the project limits was sampled by Watts as part of this investigation and determined to be ACM:

• White 12” x 12” Floor Tile – Approximately 228 square feet of floor tile was observed in Rooms B64 and B64A (closet). The floor tile is non-friable and was observed to be in good condition. The associated mastic and floor filler are non-asbestos-containing.

Mr. Daniel Gardner – VA Medical Center Buffalo VAMC Buffalo – Building 1 – Rooms B64, B64A, B44B-1 and the Morgue Corridor Asbestos Targeted Sampling Letter Report

• Black Floor Tile Mastic – Approximately 1,263 square feet of black floor tile was observed in the Morgue Corridor beneath multiple types of non-asbestos-containing 12” x 12” floor tile. The mastic is non-friable and was observed to be in good condition.

NON-ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS

The following materials within the project limits were sampled by Watts as part of this investigation and determined to be non-ACM:

• Black floor tile mastic and white floor filler (Rooms B64 and B64A).

• Yellow carpet mastic (Rooms B64 and B64A).

• Red ceramic wall base grout and thinset (Rooms B64 and B64A).

• Ceiling plaster skim and base coats (Room B44B-1).

• Wall plaster skim and base coats (Room B44B-1).

• Gray 12” x 12” floor tile with faint mottling (Morgue Corridor).

• Gray 12” x 12” floor tile with darker mottling (Morgue Corridor).

• Beige 12” x 12” floor tiles with faint mottling (Morgue Corridor at inlays).

• Beige 12” x 12” floor tiles with darker mottling (Morgue Corridor).

The following table includes information on all suspect ACM sampled, including, the homogeneous materials identified, their corresponding sample numbers, analytical results and whether or not they are ACM. Bold and shaded materials are asbestos-containing.

A NYSDOL-certified asbestos inspector from Watts collected bulk samples of all suspect materials that were identified that might be disturbed by this work. Bulk samples were collected using simple hand tools from each matrix identified as a suspect ACM. Bulk samples were delivered with the chain-of-custody forms to EMSL Analytical, Inc. located in Depew, NY. EMSL is a New York State accredited laboratory that is a participant in the Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP) and National Voluntary Laboratory Approval Program (NVLAP). The non-friable organically bound (NOB) materials underwent gravimetric reduction prior to being analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) Method 198.6. In addition, if NOB samples were negative by PLM, they were further analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Method 198.4. Bulk samples in which the lab determined contained more than one (1) material were split and analyzed separately.

Although there are results indicating the black floor tile mastic in the Morgue Corridor is non-asbestos-containing, there are also results indicating that it is asbestos-containing and thus is considered ACM. There is approximately sixteen (16) square feet of gray 12” x 12” floor tile with white mottling applied at the entrance to the Morgue. It was very recently installed as part of a Morgue renovation project and VA personnel did not want it or the associated mastic sampled as part of this investigation. That tile and mastic are not intended to be removed with the other floor tiles and mastic in the Morgue Corridor.

The photographs, laboratory reports, chain-of-custody forms, laboratory accreditations and Watts’ license and personnel certifications are attached. Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (716) 207-2313.

Sincerely, WATTS ARCHITECTURE & ENGINEERING
