INTRODUCTION

Section 1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Veterans Administration, and more specifically The St. Louis VA Medical Center Engineering Department, through the VISN 15 Contracting Office (Contract No. 36C25518C0113), retained Riverfront Safety & Health, LC (RSH) to conduct an asbestos-containing material (ACM) and limited lead based paint (LBP) survey in accordance with the VA contract specifications, as well as to recommend asbestos management procedures and cost estimates for the VA John Cochran Medical Center (VAMC) in St. Louis, MO.

Full size drawings that indicate the locations of bulk samples, homogenous materials and ACM have also been prepared as part of this project. All results, recommendations, cost estimates and drawings have been provided within this written package (1 set for each building), as well as in electronic format (3 x CD sets for each building).

This campus wide survey, which included the collection of over 2600 asbestos bulk samples and over 13,000 lead samples from all surveyed buildings at the Jefferson Barracks VAMC Campus, and was conducted from December 2018 through July 2019. The lead project asbestos and lead inspector was Mr. Zachary Haselhorst, with Asbestos Management Plan support from Mr. Justin Rhyneer, CIH, both accredited through the Missouri Department of Natural Resources as licensed asbestos inspectors. Certifications of additional field inspection team personnel can be found within Section 10 of this report.

The quality control review for this survey was conducted by Mr. Justin Rhyneer, CIH, who is licensed by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources as a licensed Asbestos Building Inspector and Asbestos Management Planner and is also an accredited lead inspector/risk assessor.

All asbestos bulk samples have been collected and analyzed in accordance with EPA Method 600/ R-93/116, Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) coupled with dispersion staining techniques.

All lead bulk samples were collected using a Heuresis X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) machine (Model Pb200i; SN1920; Co-57 5mCi source; Reference Date 6/1/18), which was calibrated at the beginning and end of each shift using NIST standards.

Primary laboratory analysis has been provided by EMSL Laboratories (EMSL), Inc., which participates in the NIST-NVLAP (National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program No.

200742-0) and is an AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association) accredited laboratory (Lab No. 102636).

Secondary quality control split sample analysis has been performed for quality control purposes by Batta Laboratories (NVLAP 101032-0; AIHA 100448).

SCOPE OF WORK

Section 2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

Riverfront conducted an ACM & LBP Assessment, in accordance with applicable requirements of The Scope of Work, as outlined within VA Contract Number 36C25518C0113, including Amendments 1, 2 & 3. Riverfront was responsible for implementing all technical and logistical requirements of this task, including those specified in The Scope of Work. All work was performed by qualified and licensed individuals.

1.0 TARGET BUILDINGS

a. Jefferson Barracks VAMC Campus Scope Buildings/Structures: 1, 1T, 2, 3, 3T, 18, 23, 24, 25, 35, 49, 51, 51T, 52, 53, 53T, 55, 56, 56G, 57, 58, 59, 60, 60T, 75, 83, 84, 86, 87, 89, 90, 91, 93, 99

b. John Cochran VAMC Campus Scope Buildings: 1, 1T, 2, 3, 4, 6, 6A, 7, 7A, 8, 8A, 8B, 11, 14, 16

2.0 FIELD INSPECTION STRATEGY

a. Asbestos Survey

i. The inspection performed as part of this survey complies with the requirements set forth within the EPA-AHERA regulatory guidance documents pertaining to the inspection of buildings for the presence, quantity and condition of ACM of all accessible spaces for in scope buildings.

ii. Ultimate objective was to show current conditions by:

1. Study/assess/verify 2008 Altec inspection report for each building as work progresses through each campus

2. Reconcile 2008 report with subsequent construction projects that included ACM removal:

a. Reference VHA NRM project list and review scope documents and record documents as needed to assess impacts to ACM inspection scope (no ACM scope = presume same as previous)

b. Reference historical project records to assess impacts to inspection scope (no ACM scope = presume same as previous)

3. Perform additional bulk sampling as needed to close data gaps within 2008 report and/or subsequent remediation work, as follows:

a. No change in material = no sampling; assess condition only

b. Omitted SACM (Suspect Asbestos Containing Material) = collect minimum of 3 samples

c. New SACM = collect minimum of 3 samples

d. Collection of additional bulk samples was made such that damage to existing suspect materials, which is unavoidable for asbestos bulk sampling efforts, is reasonably inconspicuous (i.e. behind doors; under equipment; etc.).

4. Each facility (i.e. building; space; etc. included in scope of work by contract) was inspected by an individual licensed through the State of Missouri as an asbestos inspector holding a current license for such.

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

a. Visually inspected, sampled, analyzed and assessed the condition of all friable known, suspected or assumed ACBM.

b. Visually inspected, sampled, analyzed and assessed suspect material considered non-friable ACBM.

c. Collected bulk samples of any building materials suspected as being ACBM, whether friable or non-friable, to determine asbestos content and regulatory status.

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

6. 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 inspection and assessment, per facility.

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.

7. 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 location.

8. The date(s) 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.

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

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

b. Limited Lead Paint Survey

i. XRF sampling efforts were limited to following surfaces for each room/space

(hallways & other common spaces to be treated as a single room) encountered in buildings throughout both campuses:

1. Door jamb/frame x 1

2. 4 main walls (north; south; east; west) x 1 each

a. Shooting outermost walls for 4 main wall shots

b. One additional wall shot collected if secondary painted wall material noted for confirmation purposes (i.e. shoot plaster walls above drop ceiling where accessible)

3. Hard ceilings x 1 (acoustical drop ceilings excluded)

a. Shoot lowest level exposed hard ceiling

b. If concealed by acoustical drop, remove tile for access to painted hard ceiling surface for sample collection

4. Suspect wall fixtures/materials (i.e. ceramic tile) x 1 each per room

(maximum)

ii. All XRF sample data points reported, including results showing lead levels above 0 but below the standard limit of 1.0 mg/cm2 for Lead Based Paint as defined by EPA. Paint layers containing lead below LBP limit may be actionable for future OSHA compliance purposes.

c. ICRA Considerations

i. Inspection Team completed ICRA forms and submitted for VA consideration prior to field activities within each building.

ii. VA ICRA Team identified “special” or “High Risk” areas for consideration in the planning/phasing/scheduling of field inspection activities, as delineated within maps provided by VA.

iii. Above ceiling inspections were carried out in a manner reflective of risk ranking as assigned and approved on ICRA worksheet, as follows:

1. HEPA cart (i.e. pre-manufactured cart with HEPA filtered air machines) required in all High-Risk areas

2. HEPA cart use will be limited by reasonable access restrictions (desks;

small doorways; etc.); lack of access in High Risk areas will be assessed conservatively and with worst case assumptions made accordingly

3. HEPA cart use may be dismissed if only displacing one ceiling tile at a time in Non-High-Risk areas
