About this file
This document is an Asbestos Survey report for the Eugene J. Towbin VA Medical Center located in North Little Rock, Arkansas. The purpose of the survey was to identify any asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) that may require special handling or disposal during proposed interior renovations of the 15,525 square foot Physical Rehab and Medicine Restoration Service (PMRS) building, which was reportedly constructed in the early 1970s.
The survey found several ACMs, including tan floor tiles and associated black/yellow mastics in the Occupational Therapy Storage room, and black/yellow mastic underneath dark tan and white/gray floor tiles in the Physical Therapy room and hallway area. The report provides recommendations for the proper removal and disposal of the identified ACMs by a certified abatement contractor, and notes that any additional suspect ACMs discovered during construction should be assumed to contain asbestos or sampled prior to disturbance.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
We understand the property consists of the Eugene J. Towbin VA Medical Center located at 2200 Fort Roots Drive inNorth Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas. Based on the information available, the VA Little Rock Physical Rehab PMRS building which is to be renovated contains approximately 15,525 square feet of floor space. The building was reportedly constructed in the early 1970's.
The purpose of the Asbestos Survey was to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) which may require special handling and/or disposal if removed during construction activities. It is our understanding the interior of the building is proposed for renovations; therefore, the exterior of the building including roof were excluded from this survey.
Based on the laboratory analysis of the bulk samples collected during the survey, the following materials were reported to contain asbestos:
• Tan floor tiles and associated black/yellow mastics in the Occupational Therapy Storage room;
• Black/yellow mastic located underneath dark tan floor tiles in the Occupational Therapy Storage room; and
• Black/yellow mastic located underneath white and gray tiles in the Physical Therapy room and hall area.
Recommendations regarding the removal and disposal of the ACMs identified by ECS can be found in Section 5.0 of this report.
The executive summary is an integral portion of this report, however, ECS recommends the report be read in its entirety.

1.0 SITE DESCRIPTION
We understand the property consists of the Eugene J. Towbin VA Medical Center located at 2200 Fort Roots Drive inNorth Little Rock, Pulaski County, Arkansas. Based on the information available, the VA Little Rock Physical Rehab PMRS building which is to be renovated contains approximately 15,525 square feet of floor space. The building was reportedly constructed in the early 1970's.
2.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of the Asbestos Survey was to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) which may require special handling and/or disposal if removed during construction activities. It is our understanding the interior of the building is proposed for renovations; therefore, the exterior of the building including roof were excluded from this survey.
3.0 METHODOLOGY
ECS performed the authorized Scope of Services in general accordance with our proposal, standard industry practice(s) and methods specified by regulation(s) for the identification of ACMs.
3.1 Asbestos-Containing Materials
The non-destructive asbestos survey was performed on January 6, 2022 by Mr. Bill Penick (Certification Number 017166), an asbestos inspector who has received EPA accredited training and is licensed by the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). Samples of suspect ACMs were collected utilizing hand tools and placed into individual, labeled plastic bags.
Unique bulk suspect ACM samples were submitted to EMSL Analytical (EMSL) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana for analysis via Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) in accordance with current EPA-600 methodology. Materials consisting of additional layers were analyzed separately. EMSL is listed as an accredited laboratory by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Plan (NVLAP) managed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for bulk sample analysis by currently approved EPA methodology by PLM.
During the survey, ECS attempted to identify suspect ACMs in readily accessible areas. However, due to the destructive means required to identify some materials, certain areas were deemed inaccessible (i.e. behind walls or sub grade materials) and were not surveyed for suspect ACMs. Unidentified suspect ACMs may be located in these and/or other inaccessible areas.
Samples were collected in general accordance with EPA Standard 40 CFR 763 Subpart E, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1926.1101 Inspection Protocol.
Multiple samples of each unique material were submitted.
4.0 RESULTS
The following is a summary of laboratory results, findings and observations.
January 17, 2022
4.1 Asbestos-Containing Materials
In total 45 bulk samples from 21 homogeneous areas were submitted to the laboratory of which 82 layers were analyzed.
An ACM is defined as any material containing more than one percent (>1%) asbestos as determined using the method specified in Appendix E, Subpart E, 40 CFR Part 763, Section 1, PLM. Materials are categorized by the U.S. EPA in the following categories:
• Friable ACMs are defined as any ACM that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Non-friable ACMs are defined as any ACM that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
• Category I non-friable ACM are listed as following: packings, gaskets, resilient floor coverings, and asphalt roofing products containing more than one percent (>1%) asbestos.
• Category II non-friable ACM are listed as any material, excluding Category I non-friable ACM, containing more than one percent (>1%) asbestos.
Regulated Asbestos-Containing Materials (RACMs) are friable ACMs or non-friable ACMs that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading or has crumbled, been pulverized, or reduced to powder in the course of renovation and/or demolition operations.
EMSL submitted a signed final laboratory report to ECS on January 12, 2022. Seven of the bulk samples submitted for analysis were reported to contain asbestos in detectable concentrations.
These materials are summarized below. A complete list of the sampled materials submitted for analysis and sample locations are located in the Appendix of this report. Additional details regarding the overall locations of the materials identified as asbestos-containing are provided further in the report. Photographs of collected samples reported as asbestos-containing are also located in the Appendix of this report.

Two samples (A-16 and A-17) were collected of blue drywall and joint compound located in the Physical Therapy Main Room. The drywall and joint compound samples were included in a homogeneous area of the rehabilitation area and pat of A-8, A-9, A-34, A-35, A-40, and A-41. Asbestos was not detected in one of the samples; however, the other sample did not have enough material of the texture and joint compound was not present. The texture and joint compound is considered not to contain asbestos, due to being part of the homogeneous area.
4.2 Suspect or Assumed Asbestos-Containing Materials
Due to the inaccessibility or the destructive means that asbestos sampling requires, additional suspect ACMs may remain within the building hidden behind inaccessible areas that include, but are not limited to, sub-grade walls, structural members, topping slabs, sub-grade sealants, flooring located below underlayments, areas behind exterior walls, pipe trenches, and subsurface utilities, etc.
These areas were deemed inaccessible and were not assessed.
If these materials are discovered during construction activities, they should be presumed to contain asbestos and be treated as ACMs or be sampled immediately upon discovery and prior to disturbance for asbestos content by a certified asbestos inspector in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.1101.
5.0 RECOMMENDATIONS AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
Based on our understanding of the purpose of the Asbestos Survey, the results of laboratory analysis, and our findings and observations, ECS presents the following recommendations.
5.1 Asbestos-Containing Materials
ECS recommends where a material type has been identified as asbestos-containing that other materials with similar color, texture, age and size throughout the building’s interior and exterior be assumed to contain asbestos. Please refer to Section 4.1 for a complete list of building materials that were reported positive for asbestos and to Section 4.2 for materials that were assumed to contain asbestos.
If ACMs are to be removed, it is recommended that an industrial hygienist monitor the project.
This involves collecting air samples from within and outside abatement work areas to monitor the asbestos abatement contractor’s work practices over the course of the project. The industrial hygienist should evaluate if the asbestos abatement work is in accordance with project specifications, U.S. EPA regulation 40 CFR Part 61-National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Subpart
January 17, 2022
M: National Emission Standard for Asbestos, and U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation 29 CFR 1926.1101 – Asbestos in Construction. The industrial hygienist should assess each work area to monitor the removal of ACMs. Only after the industrial hygienist has determined the identified ACMs have been removed should final clearance air samples be collected (if necessary).
Suspect ACMs not observed due to inaccessibility or not sampled due to the destructive means that sampling would require may also be encountered during construction activities. At the time of the survey, only limited destructive means were used to locate or sample suspect ACMs; therefore, additional suspect ACMs may remain within inaccessible areas that include, but are not limited to, [sub-grade walls, structural members, topping slabs, exterior areas, sub-grade sealants, flooring located below underlayments, vapor barriers, pipe trenches and other subsurface utilities, etc.] If additional suspect ACMs are uncovered which were not accessible during this survey, it is recommended that these materials either be assumed to contain asbestos or be sampled prior to disturbance upon discovery for asbestos content by an asbestos inspector in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.1101.

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.
