Re: Lead Paint Consulting Services VA Project: Renovate Space for New Mental Health Unit VA Project No. 596A4-18-107 Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center Cooper Division 1101 Veterans Drive Lexington, KY 40502-2236 Terracon Project No. PN1187353

Dear Mr. Weekley:

Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) appreciates the opportunity to submit this letter report to FEE, Inc. (Client) regarding the lead analytical results for limited paint samples collected for the above-referenced project at the Lexington VA Medical Center (VAMC) - Cooper Division.

This project pertains to a planned renovation regarding a specific area on the North side of the first floor at the Lexington VAMC (approximately 12,500 square feet total).

Terracon representatives Mr. Joshua Vogel and Mr. Lemuel Weyer collected paint samples from various prominent painted surfaces within the renovation space. Samples were collected using a clean straight-edge razor to remove paint from designated surfaces. Collected material was placed in a sealable container, labeled with a unique sample number, and submitted under chain of custody to International Asbestos Testing Laboratories (IATL) of Mount Laurel, New Jersey.

Paint chip samples were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) per EPA Method SW846/3050B/7420M. IATL is accredited for lead in paint analysis by the American Industrial Hygiene Association’s (AIHA®) Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELLAP), accreditation number 100188.

Lead Paint Analytical Results Summary

Terracon collected a total of six paint samples for lead-content analysis from within the renovation project spaces. A sample summary which includes sample descriptions and analytical results are attached; results are presented in parts per million (ppm) lead. Of the six (6) samples collected, one (1) sample was identified by laboratory analysis to contain lead above the detection limit. The laboratory analytical report and sample chain of custody are also attached.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard, 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1926.62 (Lead in Construction), does not reference a specific concentration of lead in a surface coating. The requirements under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 are applicable to any concentration of lead found above analytical limit of detection (LOD). When disturbed, paints containing lead in any concentration may present an airborne exposure hazard that could exceed the OSHA legally enforceable action level (AL) or permissible exposure limit (PEL). Contractors that bid or conduct work activities that will disturb surfaces with analytically-confirmed LCP should be made aware so that they can plan for proper compliance with applicable federal and state regulations, and any applicable Client specifications. Additionally, contractors should understand that any untested paint surfaces are assumed to contain lead unless sampling and analysis refute lead-content.

This sampling event was conducted as per the direction and request of the Client. The sampling was of a limited nature specific to prominent and readily accessible painted surfaces and may not have included every painted surface. The sampling was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in the same locale. The results, findings and recommendations expressed in this letter report are based on conditions observed during the sampling event. This letter report has been prepared on behalf of and exclusively for use and reliance by the Client and is not a bidding document. Contractors or consultants reviewing this limited sampling report must draw their own conclusions regarding whether further investigation or remediation is deemed necessary. Terracon does not warrant the work of regulatory agencies, laboratories, or other third-parties supplying information, which may have been used in the preparation of this report. No warranty, express or implied, is made.
