Dear Mr. Novack:

GLE Associates, Inc. (GLE) performed a limited survey to identify lead-containing paint on September 4, 2019, at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center - CTICU, located in Gainesville, Florida. The survey was performed by Mr. Artiom Chacon and Mr. Michael D. Harrell with GLE. This report outlines the sampling and testing procedures, and presents the results along with our conclusions and recommendations.

GLE appreciates the opportunity to work with you on this project. Should you have questions regarding any of the information contained in this report, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Sincerely, Artiom Chacon Robert B. Greene, PE, PG, CIH, LEED AP Senior Environmental Scientist President

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

On September 4, 2019, a limited lead-containing paint survey was conducted at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center - CTICU, located at 1601 SW Archer Road in Gainesville, Florida.

The scope of this survey was limited to area depicted in the Client-provided TMM drawings dated August 15, 2019. The survey was performed by Mr. Artiom Chacon and Mr. Michael D.

Harrell, with GLE.

1.2 FACILITY DESCRIPTION

2.0 RESULTS

2.1 LEAD SURVEY PROCEDURES

It is GLE’s understanding that the survey was conducted to provide information needed to comply with 29 CFR Part 1926 “Lead Exposure in Construction; Interim Final Rule” for future demolition and/or renovation activities. The Scope of the “Lead Exposure in Construction;

Interim Final Rule” “…applies to all occupational exposure to lead in all construction work in which lead, in any amount, is present in an occupationally related context.” Due to the lack of a firm correlation between lead levels in paint and airborne lead levels during construction activities, OSHA has developed task-related triggers that require the implementation of the provisions required in 29 CFR Part 1926. Demolition and/or renovation activities involve tasks covered under this standard.

The limited survey was performed by observing and testing accessible painted component surfaces of the building. The sampling protocol used in this lead paint survey is a modified version of the survey methodology established by HUD. The protocol was modified to conform to the specific parameters of this project.

After the overall visual survey was completed, an inventory of painted surfaces was developed.

The surveyor then subdivided the areas into homogeneous areas of apparent similar paint history.

Sampling of the paint surfaces was performed by collecting representative paint chips. All samples were submitted to EMSL Analytical, Inc., an accredited laboratory recognized under EPA’s National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP), located in Kernersville, North Carolina. These samples were analyzed by EPA Method SW 846 3050B/7000B and the results are reported in percentage of lead by weight of the paint sample (% Wt).

2.2 IDENTIFIED SUSPECT LEAD-CONTAINING PAINT

A total of 11 samples of suspect lead-containing paint were collected from the facility during the survey. The results of the laboratory analyses are included in Appendix A.

A summary of the paint chip sample analytical results is outlined in the following table.

3.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Analytical results indicate that two of the 11 painted surfaces tested contain concentrations (% by weight) of lead within the paint greater than the laboratory’s detection limits.

Under the present OSHA lead construction standard, all identified lead-containing paint affected by construction activities falls under the requirements of 29 CFR 1926. There are no current government guidelines defining a lead paint concentration that creates a hazardous atmosphere when disturbed. Based on current OSHA guidelines, for those employees who will be disturbing lead-containing paint, their employer must make an initial determination by monitoring employee exposure if any employee is exposed to lead at or above 30 ug/m3 (8-hour

TWA).

The employer must implement OSHA prescribed protective measures until they can demonstrate that the employee exposure is not in excess of the action level. For any planned demolition or renovation where abrasive blasting, welding, cutting and/or torch burning are planned for any facility which contain lead-based paint, GLE recommends the removal of lead paint by a properly trained lead removal contractor where these activities are planned.

For all identified lead painted materials where manual demolition (e.g. drywall) manual scraping, manual sanding and heat gun applications are planned: provide workers with interim protection as outline in the OSHA Lead Construction Standard until the employee exposure monitoring indicate that that all tasks being performed are not exposing employees above the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL).

The interim employee protection measures include but are not limited to the following:

appropriate respiratory protection; appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment;

change areas; hand washing facilities; biological monitoring; and training.

All waste generated during the lead paint removal and during subsequent manual demolition or renovation activities should be characterized by Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure testing for lead for waste disposal purposes.

Additionally, the EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in pre-1978 homes, child care facilities and schools be certified by EPA and that they use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers to follow lead-safe work practices.

4.0 LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS

Due to the inaccessibility of some building elements, it is conceivable that all potential lead-containing paint within the extents of this survey may not have been located and identified. We do warrant, however, that the investigations and methodology reflect our best efforts based upon the prevailing standard of care in the environmental industry.
