Attention: Mr. Rene Niemoller (216-752-1800)

Project: Report of asbestos sampling of suspected asbestos-containing roofing materials on the atrium roof project area at the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center located at 10701 East Boulevard, Cleveland, Ohio 44106 (17981)

Dear Mr. Niemoller;

On August 24, 2018, Stephen J. Sebesta and Associates, Inc. collected samples of suspected asbestos-containing roofing materials on the atrium roof at the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center located at 10701 East Boulevard, Cleveland, Ohio 44106. The sampling was conducted in conjunction with the installation of roof cores with a certified roofer who installed cored through to the existing roof decking. This letter provides a summary of the samples collected and laboratory results.

The proposed roof replacement includes the atrium addition roof. The Atrium addition is an approximately 5,240 sq ft addition constructed around 2002.

The proposed roof replacement includes the removal of the existing metal and TPO (Thermoplastic polyolefin) roof over the Atrium addition. The proposed roof replacement area is an approximately 5,240 sq ft area located on the ground through 4 floors between the main building toth the west and the ambulatory care addition to the east.

METHODOLOGY

The sampling was conducted in accordance with the USEPA guidelines recommended for public and private elementary and high schools to meet the requirements of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) of 1986 and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) requirements for the renovation and demolition of buildings containing asbestos-containing materials (ACM).

Based on the age of construction, physical appearance, location, systems where located and other factors, flooring materials were identified as homogeneous asbestos-containing materials.

Samples of the suspect homogeneous Materials were sampled and analyzed for asbestos by a NVLAP accredited laboratory in accordance with AHERA requirements.

Samples were collected in 6 mil zip-lock polyethylene bags and the sample number as well as other related information, was marked on the sample bag label. Where feasible, sample numbers were also marked adjacent to the field sample location. All sample bags were placed in a second 6 mil polyethylene bag and submitted to the laboratory for analysis along with a chain-of-custody form.

Attachment No. 1 contains an Asbestos Bulk Sample Log showing a summary of the analysis of bulk samples obtained during the survey and copies of the Environmental Hazards Services (EHS) bulk sample laboratory reports for the bulk asbestos samples collected on this inspection. Attachment 2 contains copies of the Environmental Hazards Services (EHS) bulk sample laboratory reports for the bulk asbestos samples collected on a previous inspection. Attachment No. 3 contains photographs of the water damage and sample locations. Attachment No. 4 contains the Ohio Asbestos Certification and Training Information for the asbestos inspector involved in the survey and preparation of the report.

A total of 20 bulk samples (22 layers) were collected by a certified inspector and analyzed by a NVLAP accredited laboratory. The results of the laboratory analysis of these samples are included in Attachment No. 1. Homogeneous materials sampled in the survey included TPO roofing, seam sealant between metal panels, face paper over foam board, felt paper, ice shield, lap sealant over flashing, Dens-Deck board, Water block (caulking around roof drain, and fireproofing. A total of 12 bulk samples of the sprayed-on fireproofing were collected by a certified inspector and analyzed by a NVLAP accredited laboratory on a previous inspection. The results of the laboratory analysis of these samples are included in Attachment No. 2. Samples reported as containing Trace to 3% asbestos were further analyzed by Point Count in accordance with NESHAP requirements.

Page 2 - Asbestos sampling of roofing, Atrium Addition, Cleveland VA Medical Ctr. (17981)

FINDINGS

A metal roofing system is installed over the atrium addition with TPO roofing on the south and northeast ends. The metal roofing system consists of metal roof panels with a layer of foam insulation board (“iso-board”) below the metal roof and “Dens Deck” board over the roof deck. Black seam sealant is applied between sections of the metal roof. The metal roofing is installed with rubber flashing which is caulked.

The TPO roofing system on the south and northeast ends of the Atrium roof is applied over a layer of foam insulation board (“iso-board”) applied directly to the roof deck. The TPO roofing is installed with metal counterflashing which is caulked. Felt paper and ice shield are present below roofing at the south end of the roof. Water block (caulking) is found around the roof drain. Residual sprayed-on fireproofing overspray was found on metal decking below the TPO roof on the south end of the Atrium roof.

NON ASBESTOS-CONTAINING FACE PAPER AND ADHESIVE BELOW METAL AND TPO ROOF

(ATRIUM ADDITION ROOF)

There is approximately 5,240 sq ft of metal and TPO roofing with three layers of foam insulation over the Atrium Addition. Sample Nos. 17981-3, 17981-4, and 17981-13a of the face paper and adhesive on the foam insulation below the metal and TPO roofing on the Atrium addition were reported as No Asbestos Detected (NAD).

NON ASBESTOS-CONTAINING THERMOPLASTIC POLYOLEFIN (TPO) ROOF (ATRIUM

ADDITION ROOF)

There is approximately 1,150 sq ft of residual Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) roofing on the south and northeast end of the Atrium addition. Sample Nos. 17981-6 and 17981-10 of the TPO roof were reported as No Asbestos Detected (NAD).

NON ASBESTOS-CONTAINING FELT PAPER AND ADHESIVE BELOW METAL AND TPO ROOF

(SOUTH END OF ATRIUM ADDITION ROOF)

There is approximately 550 sq ft of felt paper and adhesive below the metal and TPO roofing over the Atrium Addition. Sample Nos. 17981-7 and 17981-18 of the felt paper and adhesive over the foam insulation below the metal and TPO roofing on the Atrium addition were reported as No Asbestos Detected (NAD).

NON ASBESTOS-CONTAINING ICE SHIELD AND ADHESIVE BELOW METAL AND TPO ROOF

(SOUTH END OF ATRIUM ADDITION ROOF)

There is approximately 550 sq ft of ice shield and adhesive below the felt paper, metal, and TPO roofing over the Atrium Addition. Sample Nos. 17981-8 and 17981-19 of the ice shield and adhesive over the foam insulation below the felt paper, metal, and TPO roofing on the Atrium addition were reported as No Asbestos Detected (NAD).

NON ASBESTOS-CONTAINING BLACK CAULKING OVER RUBBER FLASHING (ATRIUM

ADDITION ROOF)

There is approximately 80 ln ft of caulking over rubber flashing installed over the connections of the metal roofing to the Ambulatory Care Addition exterior wall to the east. Sample Nos. 17981-14 and 17981-16 of the black caulking over rubber flashing on the Atrium roof were reported as No Asbestos Detected (NAD).

NON ASBESTOS-CONTAINING WHITE CAULKING OVER COUNTERFLASHING, TPO ROOFING

(ATRIUM ADDITION ROOF)

There is approximately 38 ln ft of white caulking applied over metal counterflashing over the Atrium addition roofing. Sample Nos. 17981-13b and 17981-15 of the white caulking on metal counterflashing were reported as No Asbestos Detected (NAD).

NON ASBESTOS-CONTAINING DENS-DECK BOARD BELOW METAL AND TPO ROOFING

(ATRIUM ADDITION ROOF)

There is approximately 4,200 sq ft of Dens-Deck board between the foam insulation and metal and TPO roofing over the Atrium addition. Sample Nos. 17981-9 and 17981-20 of the Dens-Deck board below the metal and TPO roofing on the Atrium addition were reported as No Asbestos Detected

(NAD).
