BUILDING 6 REPLACE A-WING ROOF 695-22-103

OCTOBER 13, 2021

INSPECTION SUMMARY

On October 13, 2021, Brett Brumbaugh performed asbestos and lead-based paint XRF testing prior to the planned replacement of the roof on the West A-wing of Building 6 at the Clement J. Zablocki VAMC in Milwaukee, WI. Bulk samples were collected of suspect asbestos containing materials and XRF testing was conducted of all painted surfaces associated with the work areas. There were 12 asbestos bulk samples collected and 8 XRF readings taken as part of this survey.

Asbestos bulk sampling as part of this project was based upon the appearance, texture, and location of the suspect materials. All bulk samples were analyzed utilizing current EPA methods for PLM (Polarized Light Microscopy) by EMSL Analytical in Plymouth, MI. EMSL is accredited by the NIST, NVLAP program (National Institute of Standards and Technology, National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program) and also an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accredited laboratory.

Lead paint testing was conducted on all painted surfaces in the work area using a Viken Detection Pb200i direct read XRF analyzer. Painted components that were tested in the areas are considered to be “lead-based” paint as defined by the US EPA (greater than 1.0 mg/cm2).

The inspection was conducted and the report was prepared by Brett Brumbaugh who is licensed by the State of Wisconsin as an Asbestos Inspector and is also an EPA Licensed Lead Risk Assessor. Mr. Brumbaugh has been conducting asbestos surveys and lead sampling since 1987, and is licensed in 28 states. He is also a Registered Environmental Property Assessor (REPA) and Certified Environmental Safety Compliance Officer (CESCO) through the NREP (National Registry of Environmental Professionals).

INSPECTION FINDINGS

Asbestos: As a result of the inspection and bulk sampling, there were asbestos identified in the roofing asphalt/tar flashing on the brick and upper walls of the roof.

Lead paint: As a result of the XRF testing for lead in paint, there was lead-paint identified on the following building components:

Lead painted components Locations

Window sashes, trim, and sills All windows in A-wing

Wood Soffits A-wing wood soffits/trim

Exterior brick wall Exterior walls of A-wing

Porch trim Trim on porch of A-wing

ASBESTOS SAMPLING PROTOCOL

The bulk samples were collected from locations that were selected to be representative of the building materials. Sampling was accomplished using the simplified sampling scheme referenced in the AHERA regulations and found in the “Pink Book”. Locations of individual samples are referenced on this report.

The samples were either collected with a coring tool designed for asbestos sampling or placed into a plastic bag for laboratory analysis. The samples were analyzed via polarized light microscopy with dispersion staining, using the “Interim method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples” found in Appendix A to Subpart F in 40 CFR Part 763.

The regulations require specific numbers of samples be obtained per homogeneous area. For example, when sampling for joint compound or asbestos in hard plaster (sprayed-on or troweled-on surfacing materials) samples are to be taken based on the following increments: 0 to 1000 square feet of material, 3 samples are necessary. From 1001 to 5000 square feet, 5 samples are necessary, over 5000 square feet 7 samples are required. If during analysis any samples are found to contain asbestos, the entire homogeneous area is delineated as asbestos containing material. In the case of pipe insulation or other types of manufactured materials, the regulations require only enough samples to ascertain whether asbestos is present. In this case, the minimum number of samples to collect and analyze is usually three. The sampling performed in this inspection followed these sampling guidelines.

ASBESTOS GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Friable asbestos material: means any material containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763 section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy, that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

Category I Non-friable Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) means asbestos containing packings, gaskets, resilient floor coverings, and asphalt roofing products containing more that 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763, Section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy.

Category II Non-friable ACM means any material, excluding Category I non-friable ACM, containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763, section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy that when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

Regulated Asbestos Containing Material (RACM): means (a) Friable asbestos material, (b) Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable, (c) category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or (d) 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 expected in the course of demolition or renovation operations regulated by this subpart.

EMSL maintains liability limited to cost of analysis . Interpretation and use of test results are the responsibility of the client. This report relates only to the samples reported above, and may not be reproduced, except in full, without written approval by EMSL. EMSL bears no responsibility for sample collection activities or analytical method limitations . The report reflects the samples as received.

Results are generated from the field sampling data (sampling volumes and areas, locations, etc.) provided by the client on the Chain of Custody. Samples are within quality control criteria and met method specifications unless otherwise noted. The above analyses were performed in general compliance with Appendix E to Subpart E of 40 CFR (previously EPA 600/M4-82-020 “Interim Method”) but augmented with procedures outlined in the 1993 (”final”) version of the method. This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST or any agency of the federal government. Non- friable organically bound materials present a problem matrix and therefore EMSL recommends gravimetric reduction prior to analysis . Unless requested by the client, building materials manufactured with multiple layers (i.e. linoleum, wallboard, etc.) are reported as a single sample. Estimation of uncertainty is available on request.
