About this file
This document is an Appendix P for Building 46 at the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center, containing a comprehensive asbestos re-inspection report. The report details the findings of a 3-year asbestos re-inspection, identifying 16 homogeneous areas (HAs) within the building, with two areas confirmed as asbestos-containing material (ACM): HA 03 (12" vinyl composition floor tile and mastic in a connecting corridor) and HA 14 (downspout tar). Laboratory analysis by Safety Environmental Laboratories and Consulting, Inc. found no asbestos in the tested samples, though some areas contained non-asbestos materials like wollastonite.
The document includes detailed inspection documentation, sample location plans, photographic evidence, and estimated abatement costs. For the identified ACM areas, the report recommends managing the materials in place until they are impacted by planned renovations or repair activities. The estimated abatement costs are $2,250 for the vinyl composition floor tile and mastic (approximately 450 square feet) and $200 for the downspout tar. The inspection was conducted on July 16, 2014, by inspector E. Hyde, as part of the SELC Project #2014-1108 for the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center.

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.
5. Percentages given are based on a visual estimated calibration.
6. Safety Environmental Laboratories and Consulting, Inc. is a NVLAP accredited laboratory, Lab Code: 200873-0 (ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005 Compliant).
7. Results relate only to the samples tested. All tests were performed under the scope of SELC’s NVLAP accreditation, unless indicated otherwise.
8. All samples were received in a condition suitable for analysis (“Good”), unless otherwise noted.
9. This report must not be used to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the Federal Government.
10. Analytical Instrument: Olympus Polarized Light Microscope Series BH-2 Model BHT-002
