ASBESTOS & LEAD-BASED PAINT SURVEY REPORT

ASBESTOS INSPECTION SUMMARY

On March 22, 2021, Brett Brumbaugh of Castle Hill Associates performed an asbestos survey and lead XRF testing prior to the planned renovations in Building 1 on the basement floor of the Fayetteville VAMC in Fayetteville, NC. Bulk samples were collected of suspect asbestos containing materials that had not been previously sampled during previous asbestos surveys in the building. There were 16 bulk samples taken as part of this survey with the materials identified in the report included in this submission.

The asbestos bulk sampling conducted as part of this project was based upon the appearance, texture, and location of the suspect materials. All bulk samples were analyzed utilizing current EPA methods for PLM (Polarized Light Microscopy) by EMSL Analytical in Plymouth, MI. EMSL is accredited by the NIST, NVLAP program (National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program) and also an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accredited laboratory.

Prior to this sampling, Castle Hill was provided with previous sampling results conducted by the VA including the last 3-year reinspection conducted by Castle Hill Associates in 2019 which is included in Appendix A.

Lead paint testing was conducted on all painted surfaces in the renovation areas using a Viken Detection Pb200i direct read XRF analyzer. Painted components that were tested in the areas are considered to be “lead-based” paint as defined by the US EPA (greater than 1.0 mg/cm2).

The inspection was conducted and the report was prepared by Brett Brumbaugh who is licensed by the State of North Carolina as an Asbestos Inspector and is also an EPA Licensed Lead Risk Assessor. Mr. Brumbaugh has been conducting asbestos surveys and lead sampling since 1987, and is a registered environmental property assessor (REPA) and certified environmental and safety officer (CESCO) through the NREP (National Registry of Environmental Professionals)

ASBESTOS INSPECTION FINDINGS

As a result of this inspection, current sampling, and previous surveys/sampling, it has been determined that the following asbestos containing materials are present in the renovation areas of Building 1:

Asbestos Materials Summary

Asbestos Containing Material Locations Quantity

Pipe Insulation (behind plaster walls) Exterior inaccessible wall chases in each room in work area

~680 lf

Black mastic under non-ACM 12” floor tile B25, B30, B31, B31A, B61, B61A, B62, B62A, B62B, B62B, B62C, B62D, B62E, B62F, B62G, B62H, B62I, B62J, B62K, B62L, B63, B73, B73, 3,390 sf

Transite cement behind radiators in recessed wall units

Recessed radiators at exterior walls 32 radiators 512 sf

LEAD-BASED PAINT FINDINGS

As a result of the XRF testing of the building components in the work areas, the following components were determined to contain quantities of lead above the EPA & HUD “Lead Based Paint Federal Action Level” for a painted surface containing less than 1.0 mg/cm² or greater using the XRF technology:

Lead-based Painted Components

• Metal stair risers & stringers in Stairwell B35

UNIVERSAL WASTES FINDINGS

The universal waste survey was conducted to identify all confirmed and potential universal wastes (PCB and mercury containing components, High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting lamps, transformers, thermostats, hydraulic lifts, switches, and other suspect equipment) which may require special handling and disposal as part of renovation or demolition projects.

As a result of this inspection, the following Universal Wastes were identified in the renovation areas of the building:

Universal Waste Materials Locations Quantity

Fluorescent tubes & CFL Bulbs All rooms and hallways in renovation area

82 fixtures

Batteries in exit light fixtures Hallways & stairwell 8 units

CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS

ASBESTOS: The asbestos containing materials identified in the renovation area must be removed if they will be disturbed as part of the renovation activities. If no disturbance is planned, they can be left in-place indefinitely until removal is required prior to demolition. All removal must be conducted by a North Carolina licensed Asbestos Contractor.

LEAD-BASED PAINT: The building components coated with lead-based paint in the renovation area must be properly handled if they will be disturbed as part of the renovation activities. If no disturbance is planned, they can be left in-place indefinitely.

UNIVERSAL WASTES: The identified Universal Wastes are not required to be removed prior to renovation, however if they are removed then they must be handled, transported, and disposed/recycled in an EPA approved facility by persons with proper training in the handling of Universal Wastes.

Respectfully Submitted, Brett L. Brumbaugh, REPA, CESCO State of North Carolina Asbestos Inspector, License # 12411 Lead Risk Assessor – EPA License # LBP-R-I216003-1

ASBESTOS SAMPLING PROTOCOL

The bulk samples were collected from locations that were selected to be representative of the building materials. Sampling was accomplished using the simplified sampling scheme referenced in the AHERA regulations and found in the “Pink Book”. Locations of individual samples are referenced on this report.

The samples were either collected with a coring tool designed for asbestos sampling or placed into a plastic bag for laboratory analysis. The samples were analyzed via polarized light microscopy with dispersion staining, using the “Interim method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples” found in Appendix A to Subpart F in 40 CFR Part 763.

The regulations require specific numbers of samples be obtained per homogeneous area. For example, when sampling for joint compound or asbestos in hard plaster (sprayed-on or troweled-on surfacing materials) samples are to be taken based on the following increments: 0 to 1000 square feet of material, 3 samples are necessary. From 1001 to 5000 square feet, 5 samples are necessary, over 5000 square feet 7 samples are required. If during analysis any samples are found to contain asbestos, the entire homogeneous area is delineated as asbestos containing material. In the case of pipe insulation or other types of manufactured materials, the regulations require only enough samples to ascertain whether asbestos is present. In this case, the minimum number of samples to collect and analyze is usually three. The sampling performed in this inspection followed these sampling guidelines.

ASBESTOS GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Friable asbestos material: means any material containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763 section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy, that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

Category I Non-friable Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) means asbestos containing packings, gaskets, resilient floor coverings, and asphalt roofing products containing more that 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763, Section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy.

Category II Non-friable ACM means any material, excluding Category I non-friable ACM, containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763, section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy that when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

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 expected in the course of demolition or renovation operations regulated by this subpart.

The State of North Carolina asbestos inspection and licensing regulations are similar to the Federal regulations. State asbestos regulations include requirements for licensing and certification of personnel who will perform asbestos-related work activities. All personnel who engage in asbestos-related activities must comply with the state licensing/certification requirements as well as with all Federal requirements.

3.0 ANALYTICAL METHODS AND LIMITATIONS

3.1 Asbestos Sampling Protocol

EPA and OSHA define an ACBM as any material which contains greater than 1 percent asbestos. The ACBM inspection and bulk sampling were performed in accordance with the methods outlined in the EPA guidance document titled Guidance for Controlling Asbestos-Containing Materials in Buildings (Document No. 560/5- 85/024). In addition, bulk sampling of asbestos was performed in accordance with 40 CFR Part 763, AHERA requirements for number of samples and types of ACBM to be sampled. According to these requirements, materials are classified as either surfacing (e.g., decorative plaster, spray-applied fireproofing), thermal system insulation (e.g., pipe insulation, pipe fitting insulation, boiler insulation), or miscellaneous materials (e.g., floor tile, ceiling tile, plaster, wallboard, mastics).

The number of samples collected from each material varies based on the classification of the material and increases as the potential for a non-uniform mixture of asbestos in the material increases. Typically, regulations require a minimum number of samples to be collected from the different classifications of suspect

ACBM.

All bulk samples were analyzed utilizing current EPA methods for PLM (Polarized Light Microscopy) by EMSL Analytical in Plymouth, MI. EMSL is accredited by the NIST, NVLAP program (National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program) and also an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accredited laboratory.

5.0 Explanation of Assessment of Asbestos Containing Materials

Re-inspection protocol is based on the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), Environmental Protection Act’s (EPA’s) revised Asbestos Model Accreditation Plan (MAP) mandated by the Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Reauthorization Act (ASHARA), and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Directive 7700. The tabular listing included in this report contains Building Number, Floor, Room Number, Material Category (i.e., TSI, SM or MM), Material Type, quantity, a numerical priority ranking, condition, potential for damage, potential for human exposure, drawing number, hazard ranking, recommended response action and associated cost estimate for implementation of those response actions.

The material assessment categories of the ACM identified in the building is formatted in the following order for the summary tables enclosed in this report:

• Material Category - Surfacing Material (SUR); Thermal System Insulation (TSI); Miscellaneous (MM)

• Material Type - Friable (F); Non-Fable (NF)

• Condition of Material - Good; Fair; Poor

• Potential for Damage - Low; Medium; High

• Physical Assessment - Low; Medium; High

• Recommended Response Action - 1 through 7

Material category is the type of material such as surfacing material (SUR), thermal system insulation (TSI), and miscellaneous (MM)

• Surfacing Material (SUR) - Surfacing ACM means surfacing material that is ACM. Surfacing material means material in a school building that is sprayed-on, troweled-on, or otherwise applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, or other purposes.

• Thermal System Insulation (TSI) - Thermal system insulation ACM means thermal system insulation that is ACM. Thermal system insulation means material in a school building applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts, or other interior structural components to prevent heat loss or gain, or water condensation, or for other purposes.

• Miscellaneous (MM) - Miscellaneous ACM means miscellaneous material that is ACM Miscellaneous material means interior building material on structural components, structural members or fixtures, such as floor and ceiling tiles, and does not include surfacing material or thermal system insulation.

Material type refers to the hardness of a material to be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure as friable (F), and includes previously non-friable (NF) material after such previously non-friable material becomes damaged to the extent that when dry it may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

• Condition of Material - Good; Fair; Poor

• Potential for Damage - Low; Medium; High

• Physical Assessment - Low; Medium; High

Seven Categories define in the AHERA regulation one of which must be assigned to each friable surfacing and miscellaneous ACBM and each asbestos-containing TSI during the inspection/re-inspection.

1. Damaged or significantly damaged TSI ACBM - Damaged or significantly damaged thermal system insulation ACM means thermal system insulation ACM on pipes, boilers, tanks, ducts, and other thermal system insulation equipment where the insulation has lost its structural integrity, or its covering, in whole or in part, is crushed, water-stained, gouged, punctured, missing, or not intact such that it is not able to contain fibers. Damage may be further illustrated by occasional punctures, gouges or other signs of physical injury to ACM; occasional water damage on the protective coverings/jackets; or exposed ACM ends or joints. Asbestos debris originating from the ACBM in question may also indicate damage.

2. Damaged friable surfacing ACBM - Damaged friable surfacing ACM means friable surfacing ACM which has deteriorated or sustained physical injury such that the internal structure (cohesion) of the material is inadequate or which has delaminated such that its bond to the substrate (adhesion) is inadequate, or which, for any other reason, lacks fiber cohesion or adhesion qualities. Such damage or deterioration may be illustrated by the separation of ACM into layers; separation of ACM from the substrate; flaking, blistering, or crumbling of the ACM surface; water damage; significant or repeated water stains, scrapes, gouges, mars or other signs of physical injury on the ACM. Asbestos debris originating from the ACBM in question may also indicate damage.

3. Significantly damaged friable surfacing ACBM - Significantly damaged friable surfacing ACM means damaged friable surfacing ACM in a functional space where the damage is extensive and severe.

4. Damaged or significantly damaged friable miscellaneous ACBM - Damaged friable miscellaneous ACM means friable miscellaneous ACM which has deteriorated or sustained physical injury such that the internal structure (cohesion) of the material is inadequate or, if applicable, which has delaminated such that its bond to the substrate (adhesion) is inadequate or which for any other reason lacks fiber cohesion or adhesion qualities.

Such damage or deterioration may be illustrated by the separation of ACM into layers; separation of ACM from the substrate; flaking, blistering, or crumbling of the ACM surface; water damage; significant or repeated water stains, scrapes, gouges, mars or other signs of physical injury on the ACM. Asbestos debris originating from the ACBM in question may also indicate damage.

5. ACBM with Potential for Damage - Potential damage means circumstances in which:

(1) Friable ACBM is in an area regularly used by building occupants, including maintenance personnel, in the course of their normal activities.

(2) There are indications that there is a reasonable likelihood that the material or its covering will become damaged, deteriorated, or delaminated due to factors such as changes in building use, changes in operations and maintenance practices, changes in occupancy, or recurrent damage.

6. ACBM with potential for significant damaged - Potential significant damage means circumstances in which:

(1) Friable ACBM is in an area regularly used by building occupants, including maintenance personnel, in the course of their normal activities.

(2) There are indications that there is a reasonable likelihood that the material or its covering will become significantly damaged, deteriorated, or delaminated due to factors such as changes in building use, changes in operations and maintenance practices, changes in occupancy, or recurrent damage.

7. Any remaining friable ACBM or Friable Suspected ACBM

6.0 EXPLANATION OF REMEDIATION COST ESTIMATES

All remediation cost (removal and repair) estimates are based upon RS Means data. Since RS Means does not account for work in VA Medical Centers, all cost estimates are adjusted to reflect the VA specific requirements for abatement. In addition, the cost estimates reflect the quantity and location of the asbestos materials. For example, abatement work in crawl spaces is expected to be much costlier than work in more accessible areas of building. Also, the costs for each material in each building are intended to be for “stand alone” projects and the combination of areas for removal will reduce the costs due to an economy of scale.

7.0 CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATIONS

An operations and maintenance (O&M) program has been developed by the VAMC specifically for the positively identified ACBM in the facilities. Any renovation/demolition work which may impact these positive materials should be conducted in accordance with the O&M program and all applicable Federal, state, and local regulations by appropriately trained and VA-approved personnel and contractors. Since demolition was not performed as part of the inspection work at the facilities, certain areas such as pipe chases and areas above fixed permanent ceilings, fire-door interiors, and vault/safe wall and door linings were not inspected or tested. Prior to renovation and alteration work which could impact these areas, Castle Hill recommends that exploratory demolition be performed and a qualified inspector be utilized to examine the areas and collect samples as needed. Castle Hill recommends sampling of roofing materials and electrical components (not specifically examined as part of this survey) if renovation activities are planned which may disturb these materials.
