Re: Limited Paint Sampling for Lead-Content Analysis VA Project: Replace Hospital Steam Heating Systems Phase 2 VA Project No. 539-18-102 Cincinnati VA Medical Center 3200 Vine Street Cincinnati, Ohio 45220 Terracon Project No. N1187304

Dear Mr. Williams:

Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) appreciates the opportunity to submit this letter report to Levin Porter Associates Inc. (Client) regarding the lead analytical results for limited paint sampling conducted for the above-referenced project at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center (CVAMC). We understand that this survey was requested for the purpose of a planned renovation regarding to impacts to various hospital steam systems at various locations throughout the hospital.

Terracon representatives Mr. Joshua Vogel and Mr. Lemuel Weyer conducted the limited paint sampling. Sample collection was performed using a clean straight-edge razor to remove paint from designated surfaces. Collected paint samples were placed in sealable containers, labeled with unique sample numbers, and submitted under chain of custody to International Asbestos Testing Laboratories (IATL) of Mount Laurel, New Jersey. Paint chip samples were submitted for analysis 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 one (1) paint sample for lead-content analysis from within the renovation project area. A sample summary which includes the sample description and analytical result is attached; the result is presented in parts per million (ppm) lead. The sample collected 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 for applicability of the aforementioned regulation. 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 represent 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 of those so that they can plan for proper compliance with applicable federal and state regulations, and any applicable Client specifications. Additionally, contractors should be aware that any untested paint surfaces should be assumed to also 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.

Terracon appreciates the opportunity to provide this service to Levin Porter Associates Inc. If you have questions regarding this letter report or if we can be of further service, please contact the undersigned at (513) 321-5816.

Sincerely, Terracon Consultants, Inc.
