1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EFI Global, Inc. (EFI) conducted a comprehensive asbestos-containing material inspection of several buildings at the James H. Quillen (Mountain Home) Veterans Administration Medical Center (Site) located at the corner of Lamont and Veterans Way in Mountain Home, Tennessee.

The site inspection was conducted from September 28, 2009 to October 2, 2009. The inspection was performed to determine the presence and extent of asbestos-containing materials found at the site prior to the preparation of an Asbestos Management Plan for the facility. Previous survey reports were reviewed and their results reconfirmed during the survey.

No roof sampling was performed during this survey due to access issues and condition of roof with one exception where a single sample was collected (Building 46).

Asbestos-containing materials were confirmed to exist within various buildings at the site. EFI recommends a budget of $1,357,300.00 to address the abatement of the presumed asbestos-containing materials identified in this inspection prior to any renovation or demolition activities which would disturb these materials. If these materials will not be disturbed, they may be managed in place through the implementation of the facility’s Asbestos Management Plan.

Mountain Home-Asbestos Inspection -6- Project No.94515-00807

Based on this information, EFI makes the following recommendations:

The non-friable asbestos-containing materials shall be removed by a licensed abatement contractor prior to the start of any renovation activity that may disturb such materials.

It is recommended that technical specifications be developed to ensure that any scheduled asbestos abatement work is conducted in accordance with NESHAP, OSHA and State of Tennessee asbestos regulations. An asbestos abatement contractor, licensed in the State of Tennessee, is required to perform the removal of any ACM's.

EFI recommends that building management incorporate this asbestos-containing building material into the existing Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Plan for the facility.

Additionally, EFI recommends that any additional suspect materials that may be uncovered by any future construction or renovation activities, and which were not sampled as a part of this limited asbestos inspection should be considered asbestos-containing until sampling and analysis determines otherwise.

2.3 Prior Environmental Reports

EFI was provided with an asbestos sampling report by the VA Medical Center staff for review.

Mountain Home-Asbestos Inspection -11- Project No.94515-00807

Alley and Associates, Inc. (Alley) performed asbestos sampling within Buildings 8, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 34, 35, 36, 37, 44, 45, 46, 47, 69 and 77 in December 2005. Alley primarily identified asbestos-containing flooring and pipe insulation in various buildings during their survey. Limited amounts of window glazing and plaster were identified as asbestos-containing materials.

A large quantity of asbestos-containing flooring and pipe insulation has since been removed from various buildings at the Site during the course of renovations. The Site staff has kept careful record of removed materials since the Alley survey. The previous survey report was reviewed and its results reconfirmed during EFI’s survey.

Additional or supplemental sampling was performed as needed. The previous report is attached as Appendix H.

Mountain Home-Asbestos Inspection -12- Project No.94515-00807

3.0 Sampling and Inspection Procedure

Representative bulk samples were collected of suspect materials found throughout the buildings on the James H. Quillen (Mountain Home) Veterans Administration Medical Center campus.

The materials sampled for this inspection included: plaster, ceiling tiles, gypsum wallboard and associated joint compound, exterior seam caulk, window caulking, window glazing, HVAC cloth, insulation, floor tile and associated mastic, textured skim coat, sheet flooring, sink undercoating, electrical box partition, stair tread mastic and spray-applied fireproofing.

All samples were collected in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommendations, and transported to an independent laboratory, which is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and successfully participates in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). Rigorous chain-of-custody guidelines were followed to ensure proper handling and delivery of the samples. Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) techniques were used to analyze the samples. Asbestos samples were analyzed using the current EPA method EPA/600/R-93/116.

As needed, any samples that were identified to contain asbestos (>1% Asbestos), as per EPA/NESHAP sample guidelines any sample <10% asbestos is to re-analyzed by Dispersion Staining (PLM), 40 CFR Part 763, Appendix E To Subpart E, Point Count Protocol. All samples that were identified to contain <5% asbestos were re-analyzed using the Point Count Protocol.

The laboratory results for all suspected asbestos samples collected can be found in Appendix B, Asbestos-Containing Materials Laboratory Results are found in Appendix C.

Mountain Home-Asbestos Inspection -13- Project No.94515-00807

4.0 APPLICABLE REGULATIONS

4.1 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

The EPA defines asbestos-containing materials (ACM) as those, which contain greater than 1% asbestos. Friable materials are defined as those, which can be crumbled or reduced to powder by hand, pressure. EPA-Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA-Asbestos Regulations, 40 CFR 763, Subpart E) defines asbestos-containing materials (ACM) when referring to buildings as any material or product, which contains more than 1 percent asbestos.

Under: EPA AHERA- asbestos Regulation, 40 CFR 763 Subpart E, defines “friable” “when referring to material in a building means that the material, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure, and includes previously non-friable material after such material becomes damaged to the extent that when dry it may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure”. The latest revision of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP, 40 CFR 61, Subpart M), dated November 1990, stipulates that any friable material identified as containing asbestos in any concentration must be considered asbestos-containing.

According to NESHAP Regulations, all regulated asbestos-containing materials (RACM) must be removed from a facility prior to the beginning of any activities that would break-up, dislodge, or similarly disturb the material. The definition for RACM includes the following:

1. Friable ACM,

2. Category I non-friable ACM (packing, gaskets, resilient floor coverings, or asphalt roofing products) that has become friable,

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

4. Category II non-friable ACM (other 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 of renovation operations.

4.2 Occupational Safety and Health Administration

The abatement of asbestos-containing materials is regulated by OSHA Asbestos in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.1101). This OSHA standard regulates asbestos exposure in all work, as defined in 29 CFR 1910.12(b), including but not limited to the following:

Demolition or salvage of structures where asbestos is present;

Removal or encapsulation of materials containing asbestos;

Construction, alteration, repair, maintenance, or renovation of structures, substrates, or portions thereof, that contain asbestos;

Installation of products containing asbestos;

Asbestos spill/emergency cleanup; and Transportation, disposal, storage, containment of and housekeeping activities involving asbestos or product containing asbestos, on the site or location at which construction activities are performed.

The coverage under the OSHA Standard is based on the category of asbestos work being performed. OSHA establishes four categories of asbestos work; these categories are referred to as Class I, II, III, and IV. OSHA defines Class I asbestos work activities involving the removal of thermal system insulation (TSI), surfacing ACM, and/or presumed ACM. Class II asbestos work

Mountain Home-Asbestos Inspection -14- Project No.94515-00807 is defined as activities involving the removal of ACM that is not TSI or surfacing material. This includes, but is not limited to, the removal of asbestos-containing wallboard, floor tile and sheeting, roofing and siding singles, construction mastics, and ceiling tile.

4.3 State of Tennessee

In accordance with the Tennessee Asbestos Accreditation Requirements (Chapter 1200-01-20), any organization or person which performs or intends to perform an asbestos project in Tennessee must be accredited by the State. The accreditation is valid for one year and must be renewed annually. Companies that provide asbestos training for individuals performing asbestos projects in Tennessee must also be accredited by the State. This accreditation is valid for one year and must be renewed annually.

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) must be notified ten working days in advance of beginning an asbestos abatement project involving the removal of greater than or equal to 160-square feet, 260-linear feet, or 35-cubic feet of an asbestos-containing material (NESHAP-sized projects.)

Tennessee requires abatement containments on NESHAP-sized projects to be cleared by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) or Phase Contrast Microscopy (PCM) as defined in the U.S. EPA AHERA regulation 40 CFR Part 763. Results of all PCM final samples must indicate fiber levels less than 0.01 fibers per cubic centimeter (<0.01 f/cc) in order to clear the containment. Abatement projects requiring clearance by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) must follow federal AHERA sampling protocols.

Tennessee requires that all asbestos waste be transported to a State approved landfill for disposal and a copy of the disposal receipts must be provided to the owner within thirty-five days of the waste disposal.

During the asbestos inspection of the Site, the metal elevator doors (and related door components) and the fire doors, were not sampled for asbestos, due to the potential for asbestos contamination during sampling. These materials were assumed to contain asbestos.

Although no other asbestos-containing materials were identified, additional suspect materials may be discovered during future renovation or demolition activities. It is recommended that any additional suspect material discovered during such activities be tested for the presence of asbestos-containing materials, unless information warrants otherwise.
