1.0 INTRODUCTION

OHC Environmental Engineering, Inc., (OHC), was contracted by Mr. Orlando Gonzales of AESUS to perform an asbestos survey in compliance with the National Emission

Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulation for asbestos (40 CFR 61

Subpart M). In addition, a survey for lead-containing paint (LCP) was performed in the areas to be disturbed. The surveys were conducted for the upcoming renovations of the 5th

Floor of the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital Building 1. Representatives from OHC and certified AHERA building inspectors, Nick Foster, and Tom Martinelli, visited the site on

May 24th to the 26th of 2022, to perform these services.

2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION

The 5th Floor of the James A. Haley Building 1 that was within the scope of this survey is comprised of patient rooms, a nursing station and offices, GI area, and break rooms that make up approximately a 9,943 SF area. The survey was limited to the Acute Care 5 South wing. The building is estimated to have been built in the 1970’s. The building is constructed on concrete slab at grade. Interior walls are drywall on metal studs. Floors are covered with vinyl floor tiles. Ceilings are a suspended tile system. This survey was conducted to verify conclusions in a previous asbestos survey performed by OHC in May of 2018 (OHC Project

#170161-AS).

4.2 Asbestos Sampling Methods

Asbestos sampling was conducted in accordance with NESHAP (40 CFR 61, Subpart

M) protocol for the commencement of demolition/renovation activities. The surveyor conducted a visual inspection of every safe and reasonably accessible room and space of the building. Materials sampled were grouped into Homogenous Sampling Areas

(HSA) based on the texture, color, use, age, condition, and every other visual appearance to identify suspect ACM. Materials containing asbestos are grouped into the following categories:

• Regulated ACM (RACM): Refers to friable manufactured ACM or a

Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable; or a Category I Non-

Friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading; or a 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 in the course of demolition or renovation operations.

• Category I Non-Friable ACM: Refers to asbestos containing packing, gaskets, resilient floor coverings (including mastics), and asphalt roofing products containing more than 1% asbestos.

• Category II Non-Friable ACM: Refers to any material that is not a

Category I Non-Friable ACM that contains greater than 1% asbestos.

Bulk samples of all friable and non-friable suspect ACM were collected, as well as a representative number of samples from each homogeneous area following the EPA's simplified random sampling method (EPA560/585-030a). Good Industrial Hygiene practices were followed when collecting bulk samples to minimize fiber release.

Every precaution was taken to prevent asbestos exposure to the surveyor, the building occupants, and the public. All sample locations were logged with an appropriate description and the locations were marked on any available drawings. A unique sequential numbering system was used to identify each area. Each bulk sample was placed in a labeled bag, which was immediately marked with its sample number. Strict

Chain-of-Custody protocols were followed and signed by the receiving laboratory personnel who handled the samples. The samples were analyzed via PLM EPA-600 by an AIHA and NVLAP Accredited laboratory. Quality control samples were analyzed by EMSL Analytical in Tampa, Florida for Quality Control procedures during the analysis of asbestos content. The purpose is to monitor the performance of the laboratories where samples are being analyzed to provide competence and reliability assurance.

4.3 Regulatory Requirements

Demolition: According to NESHAP, 40CFR61 Subpart M, demolition is defined as the wrecking or taking out of any load-supporting structural member of a facility together with any related handling operations or the intentional burning of any facility.

The final NESHAP Rule provides classification for regulated asbestos containing material as follows:

• Friable asbestos material;

• Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable;

• Category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading; or

• Category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by forces expected to act upon the material during demolition or renovation operations.

If the total asbestos content is determined to be trace to 10%, the owner must either assume that the material contains greater than 1% asbestos and treat the material as regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) or have the material verified/quantified by point counting. If after point counting, the material is quantified as 1% or less, it is not regulated by the NESHAP. The Occupational

Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) considers material that contains any amount of asbestos as asbestos-containing and requires compliance with OSHA regulations. The demolition of a structure with materials present that contain any amount of asbestos is considered by OSHA as an asbestos abatement, and all applicable OSHA rules must be complied with during the demolition.

Notification: Notification is required to the local regulatory agency:

1. Ten (10) working days prior to a demolition.

2. Ten (10) working days prior to a renovation operation, if the amount of asbestos material removed or impacted is greater than 160 SF on all building components (i.e. floor tile, mastic, GWBS, etc.) or 260 LF on pipes.

3. One (1) day prior to demolition if the building has been condemned and is structurally unsound as determined by the appropriate agency.

Notification must be sent by certified mail with return receipt or hand delivered to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The demolition contractor must wait ten (10) working days (Monday – Friday) from the postmarked date of mailing or the date of hand delivery to commencement of demolition. Any change to the start date of the demolition requires notification to the agency by phone, followed by a written revision to the Notification Form.

4.4 Statutory Requirements

The regulatory agency responsible for the oversight of the rules pertaining to asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) is the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA). The regulations state that prior to demolition or renovation a facility survey must be conducted in accordance with section 40 CFR 61-M National Emission

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Asbestos NESHAP Revisions, Final Rule.

Enforcement of these rules was passed on to the states. In the State of Florida, they are enforced by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Some counties have developed an enforcement division to carry out the responsibilities of the DEP and have developed environmental and asbestos ordinances with which compliance is required.

5.0 LEAD SURVEY

Based on the laboratory analysis of paint chip samples, lead does exist in the areas to be disturbed.

5.1 Lead Survey Results

Table 5 below summarizes the materials tested for lead and includes their color, substrate, description and location, and lead content. Please refer to the Appendices at the end of this report for photographs of the materials sampled and official laboratory analytical results.

LEGEND:

▪ ### = the sample that contains Lead at levels that will require compliance with

EPA and OSHA.

▪ NLD = No Lead Detected (< reporting limit)

▪ BLC = Below Levels of Concern (0.009% wt and below)

5.2 Lead Sampling Methods

All samples were collected by a trained Lead-Containing Paint inspector, placed in a sterile bag, and appropriately labeled. Strict Chain-of-Custody protocols were followed and signed by the receiving laboratory personnel who handled the samples.

All samples were analyzed via Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS) by

EMSL Analytical in Pineville, NC. The ceramic tile samples were analyzed via X-ray fluorescence by EMSL Analytical in Cinnaminson, NJ.

5.3 Standards for Lead-Containing Paint

There is presently no standard on the level of lead in paint other than the HUD guidelines of 0.5% by weight or 1.0 mg/cm2, which is used as a threshold for remedial action. OSHA, on the other hand, does not recognize these criteria. The consumer product safety commission has established a level of 0.06% as a threshold for lead-free paint. Any levels of lead in paint are considered lead-containing paint

(LCP). OSHA’s standards for lead are based on the potential for human exposure by means of inhalation and ingestion. Therefore, any substrate with any level of

LCP could cause health concerns when the paint is disturbed. Performing activities could create airborne exposures of lead above the PEL. Any persons performing any lead activities such as LCP renovation, repair, painting, or maintenance that may disturb the paint must be certified by EPA to perform these activities in accordance with the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) rule 40 CFR 745

Subpart E.

6.0 OBSERVATIONS

• Observation holes were cut through the drywall walls on the north, east and west sides of sixth west floor to expose the exterior perimeter walls. No suspect materials were observed from the observation hole areas.

• Asbestos containing fireproofing was removed from the ceiling deck and building systems from above the suspended ceiling system several years ago. Certain small areas were reportedly inaccessible and could not be removed (i.e., in between ductwork and ceiling, certain inaccessible beam areas, etc.) After the abatement, non-asbestos pale green containing fireproofing was re-applied to these areas. Therefore, if these inaccessible areas exist in the Fifth-floor South area, they were not visible at the time of the survey.

• No fireproofing was observed and sampled from the pipe chase access doors in the patient rooms. Fireproofing can be located there resulting from the previous abatement and re-spray application process allowing fireproofing to possibly get in between the walls of various rooms. It is not known if this fireproofing exists within the inaccessible walls of other rooms on the 5th floor South other than the small sample found in H.A.C. Room 5A-

516.

• All pipe insulation was observed to be non-suspect fiberglass or foam glass insulation with non-asbestos containing white mastic applied to some of the joints and fittings.

• All mastic under the vinyl floor tile on the sixth floor should be considered to contains asbestos, according to the May 2018 survey results.

• No electrical wiring sampled as all electricity was live at the time of sampling. Visible wiring insulation appeared to be non-suspect plastic or rubber.

7.0 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of the PLM analysis from the May 2108 survey and the most recent sampling event, ACM is present within the 5th Floor South wing of Building 1. The materials identified are listed in Tables 1 & 2. These materials will require removal by a licensed asbestos contractor under full containment, with oversight and monitoring by

OHC’s Industrial Hygienist. An abatement plan/specification for removal is recommended.

8.0 LIMITATIONS

The materials sampled in this survey were subject to accessibility and issues listed in

Section 6.0. This survey is limited to the Building 1 - 5th Floor South wing at 13000 Bruce

B. Downs Blvd in Tampa, Florida. OHC warrants that the investigations and methodology reflect the prevailing standard of work practices in the environmental consulting field. If it is expected that materials outside the scope of this survey are to be disturbed, they must be presumed ACM until the materials can be analyzed by an accredited asbestos building inspector.
