INTRODUCTION

2008 ASBESTOS REINSPECTION REPORT

ST. LOUIS V. A. MEDICAL CENTER

JOHN COCHRAN AND JEFFERSON BARRACKS DIVISIONS

SCOPE OF WORK

1. The Inspector and Management Planner reviewed prior inspections and Management Plan information on file and compared this information with existing conditions for each facility.

2. This asbestos reinspection complies with the requirements of Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA).

3. Each facility inspection was performed by an accredited inspector.

4. For each facility, the inspector performed the following tasks:

a. Visually reinspected and reassessed the condition of all friable known or assumed

ACBM.

b. Visually inspected material that was previously considered non-friable Asbestos- Containing Building Material (ACBM) and touched the material to determine whether it has become friable since the last inspection.

c. Identified any homogeneous areas with material that has become friable since the last inspection or reinspection.

d. The inspector collected bulk samples for analysis of newly friable material that is already assumed (not sampled) to be ACBM or collected additional bulk samples to fully assess the suspect materials.

e. Visually inspected, sampled, analyzed, and assessed the conditions of building materials that have been added to the facility since the last inspection or reinspection.

f. Assessed the condition of the newly friable material in areas where samples were collected and of newly friable material in areas assumed to be ACBM.

g. Reassessed the condition of friable known or assumed ACBM previously identified.

h. Recorded above information on field inspection forms for each facility.

5. A Management Planner reviewed the above information and performed the following required functions:

a. Reviewed each Management Plan for compliance with AHERA and verified that the plan reflects current conditions.

b. Reviewed the results of each reinspection and assessment.

c. Recommended in writing, the appropriate response actions.

d. Signed and dated the review documents, included the accreditation number of inspectors and planners, and submitted a copy to the Designated Person.

6. The following information was submitted to the Designated Person under AHERA, for inclusion in the Management Plan for each facility and, optionally, at a central office location.

a. The date of the inspection, the name and signature of the person making the inspection, state of accreditation, his or her accreditation number, and any changes in the condition of known or assumed ACBM.

b. If samples were collected, the exact locations where samples are collected during the inspection, a description of the manner used to choose sampling locations, the name and signature of each accredited inspector who collected the samples, state of accreditation, and his or her accreditation number.

c. Any assessments or reassessments made of friable material, the name and signature of the accredited inspector making the assessments, state of accreditation, and his or her accreditation number.

MANAGEMENT PLAN RECOMMENDATIONS

The following general notes are for all facilities inspected during the Asbestos Reinspection.

These notes reference any deficiencies found in prior inspections, reinspections, and the current Management Plan.

1. Removal Priorities were developed for each homogeneous area. The Removal Priorities are an indicator of priorities for future repair work or abatement work to be scheduled as financial budgets allow. Please see the 2008 Reinspection Condition and Removal Priority Table for further detail.

2. The current condition of material was listed for each homogeneous area. The condition, location, and potential for disturbance factors are used for the hazard ranking. Please see the 2008 Reinspection Condition and Removal Priority Table for the condition summaries.

3. Records for custodial, janitorial, and maintenance staff who have received two-hour awareness training should be filed in the Management Plan.

4. Any new custodial, janitorial, or maintenance staff that have the potential to come in contact with asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are required to attend a two-hour awareness training class. Records of training for new employees should be filed in the Management Plan.

5. The Designated Person is required to inform workers and building occupants at least once a year about the Management Plan. This includes information about inspections, response actions, and post-response action activities that are planned or in progress.

Provide a copy of the notification to each facility and include a copy in the Management Plan.

6. Maintenance areas (boiler rooms, janitor closets, etc.) are required to have warning labels where ACM are located. Install warning labels in these areas as needed. Some older labels may have come loose and are no longer visible. Post the labels in a prominent location.

7. Review the enclosed 2008 Reinspection Condition and Removal Priority Table for maintenance actions that may be required and to establish priorities and budgets for future repair and abatement work.

8. Periodic “Surveillance Inspections” are required every six (6) months. This inspection should indicate the condition of the material and provide recommendations for repair or potential removal. Consistency of inspections is desired and, therefore, should be performed by the same individual(s) for all facilities. An accredited inspector is not required, but is recommended. Records of Surveillance Inspections should be filed in both the administrative and facility Management Plans.

9. ”Reinspections” are required every three (3) years. Updated information should be added to the Management Plan.

10. The existing Management Plan (original) is updated by this Three-Year Reinspection.

All procedures and methods listed in the Plan are still in effect and should be followed unless specifically updated or omitted by this inspection. This includes maintenance procedures, repairs to damaged material, response actions, record keeping, surveillance inspections, and training.

11. An accredited “Supervisor” should be on staff or available on a contract basis per AHERA guidelines. Certification paperwork should be filed in the training section of the Management Plan.

12. ACBM should only be removed by licensed and accredited contractors in the State of Missouri. Response actions related to abatement activity should be filed in the Management Plan. Removal of limited amounts of asbestos is within the scope of the Management Plan by the accredited Supervisor and trained individuals.

13. Notification should be provided to “outside contractors” about ACM within the facility.

This should include such trades or services as telephone, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, and other construction work. A form should be created for this purpose and placed in the Management Plan.

14. New building construction and portable buildings added to a facility are required to be inspected and sampled for ACM. In lieu of this, a letter from the architect, engineer, or manufacturer can be obtained that states “no ACM were specified or used in the facility”.

A copy of this letter is to be filed with the Management Plan at the facility. This letter will cancel the requirement for sampling.

15. Abatement Costs were developed for each homogeneous area and per facility. The estimated abatement cost is for budget purposes only. The cost is based on the area of material and estimated abatement costs for this material. The cost is for abatement only and does not include abatement design, air monitoring, or project observation costs.
