About this file
This document is an Appendix B report for Building 2 at the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center, detailing a comprehensive asbestos re-inspection conducted in 2014. The report covers multiple homogeneous areas (HAs) of potential asbestos-containing material (ACM), including various floor tiles, pipe insulation, flexible duct connectors, and roofing materials. Key findings indicate that many previously identified asbestos-containing areas have been removed or replaced, with remaining materials primarily located in inaccessible areas like wall cavities, pipe chases, and attic spaces.
The appendix includes detailed documentation such as location plans, sample analysis reports, and estimated abatement costs. The laboratory analysis by Safety Environmental Laboratories found no asbestos in the sample tested (B2-1), which was a 12" x 12" vinyl composition floor tile with brown mastic from Room 103B. The estimated total asbestos abatement cost for observable materials is approximately $66,200, primarily for vinyl composition floor tiles and mastic. The report recommends managing known or suspected asbestos-containing materials in place until renovation or repair activities make removal practical.

PLM Notes and Descriptions
1. Upper detection limit: 100%. Lower detection limit: <1%.
2. Bulk Samples will be stored for 3 months and will then be disposed of in an approved EPA landfill.
3. Analysis of floor tile or any other resinously bound materials by polarized light microscopy (PLM) using EPA Method 600/R-93/116 dated July 1993 may yield false-negative results because of method limitations in separating closely bound fibers from matrix material and in detecting fibers of small length and/or diameter. When analysis of such materials by the EPA PLM Method yields negative results for the presence of asbestos we recommend utilizing alternative methods of identification such as Gravimetry, XRD or AEM.
4. Samples are not homogenized by SELC prior to analysis. Distinct material layers within a sample are analyzed and reported separately by SELC. When multiple products are submitted by the customer under one sample number, SELC indicates those distinct products as sub-samples. SELC retains all samples numbers but will designate a sample number to those that are not given a sample number by the customer.
