RE: Limited Asbestos Bulk Sampling & XRF Paint Testing

Building #15 – 3rd Floor East Renovation Area

Charles George VAMC - Asheville, North Carolina

Affinity Project #13031IN

Mr. Bruno:

On January 28th, 2021, Affinity performed limited bulk sampling of suspect asbestos-containing sprayed-on fireproofing located on the concrete ceiling deck of the 3rd Floor East Renovation Area of Building #15 located on the VAMC campus in Asheville, NC. The sampling was conducted prior to disturbance of the fireproofing.

The samples were sent VIA Fed-ex to SAI in Greensboro, NC to be analyzed for asbestos content using PLM techniques. Following are the results of the sampling.

Sample # Location Material Asbestos Content

FP-01-01 Building #15 - 3rd Floor East Tan/Gray Sprayed-on Fireproofing None Detected

FP-01-02 Building #15 - 3rd Floor East Tan/Gray Sprayed-on Fireproofing None Detected

FP-01-03 Building #15 - 3rd Floor East Tan/Gray Sprayed-on Fireproofing None Detected

FP-01-04 Building #15 - 3rd Floor East Tan/Gray Sprayed-on Fireproofing None Detected

No asbestos was detected in the fireproofing samples. Please find laboratory analysis data sheets attached.

XRF paint testing was also conducted on the plaster ceiling in the Main Corridor of the 3rd Floor East

Renovation Area Following are the results of the XRF paint testing.

Disclaimer: Due to the nature of the EPA 600 method, asbestos may not be detected in samples containing low levels of asbestos. We strongly recommend that analysis of floor tiles, vermiculite, and/or heterogeneous soil samples be conducted by TEM for confirmation of “None Detected” by PLM.
