Cheyenne VA Medical Center Executive Summary - 1 B&A Environmental Asbestos Survey Project No. GF-101-05

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

During September 22 through November 12, 2010, Buys and Associates, Inc. (B&A) conducted an asbestos survey of thirteen buildings on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center campus, located at 2360 East Pershing Boulevard in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mr. Craig Bagley with the Department of Veterans Affairs, contracted and requested this inspection to identify Asbestos

Containing Building Materials (ACBMs). According to the Statement of Work provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the buildings to be surveyed at the Cheyenne VA included buildings 1, 1C, 1CA, 1CX, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 23, 25, 26, 42 and 45. The objective of this inspection was to perform a comprehensive survey to determine the presence and condition of all

ACBM and to recommend response actions for the materials identified. The following materials were identified as requiring a response.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Hazard Rank Codes – all of the ACBM materials, including those that contain less than 1% but greater than none detected, were assigned a Hazard Rank Code 1, 2, 3 or 4. A Hazard Rank Code of 1 requires some immediate response action. Materials assigned a

Hazard Rank Code 4 are those ACBMs that do not pose a significant risk and do not require immediate response. Hazard Rank Codes were determined by assessing the material condition, accessibility, and potential for future disturbance. The Executive Summary

Table above outlines the recommended response actions that accompany Hazard Rank Codes 1 through 3.

• Hazard Ranking Code 1 Materials – These materials are damaged or significantly damaged ACBM with a high fiber release potential. These materials require immediate isolation, removal, repair, encapsulation and/or enclosure by an EPA-certified asbestos abatement contractor.

Cheyenne VA Medical Center Executive Summary - 2 B&A Environmental

• Hazard Ranking Code 2 Materials – These materials are damaged or significantly damaged ACBM with a low to moderate fiber release potential. These materials require removal, repair, encapsulation and/or enclosure by an EPA-certified asbestos abatement contractor.

• Hazard Ranking Code 3 Materials – These materials are intact (in good condition), but present a high potential for disturbance. These materials require removal, enclosure, and/or labeling, or may be managed in the Operations and

Maintenance Plan through more frequent periodic inspections. B&A recommends that any abatement actions be performed by an EPA-certified asbestos abatement contractor.

Operations and Maintenance Plan – the VA Engineering staff should implement the Operations and Maintenance Plan provided with this report immediately. This plan assigns responsibility for program management and coordination and institutes a formal system for coordinating building construction or maintenance activities so that asbestos-containing materials are not inadvertently disturbed.

Cost Estimates for Removal – the Cost Estimates for Response Actions included in the Executive Summary Table above only addresses the costs associated with response actions in specific rooms or functional spaces (i.e., materials assigned a Hazard Rank of 1 through 3). The Material Removal Unit Cost Estimates Table in Section 5 in the body of the report outlines the estimated removal costs associated with all of the various homogeneous materials identified during this survey, including Hazard Ranking 4 materials

(i.e., those materials that are in good condition and have a low potential for disturbance), which were not included in the Executive

Summary table.

The cost estimates below are provided for use in long-term budgeting and planning only, and do not have a level of accuracy sufficient to be used as a construction design cost estimate. The actual cost of asbestos removal is highly dependent on a number of factors such as the size of the job (single room or mechanical enclosure, or an entire floor or building); the required time frame for removal; the time of year the job is conducted; and travel time and distance to the job for the contractor. Therefore, actual removal costs could vary

Cheyenne VA Medical Center Executive Summary - 3 B&A Environmental significantly from these estimates. We have attempted to capture the range of costs in our Unit Removal Cost Estimate. Materials replacement and consultant abatement management costs are not included in these estimates and can add 15 - 50% to the project costs.

The report that follows this Executive Summary should be read in its entirety because it includes important information, such as material descriptions and locations, regulatory requirements, and building specific recommended response actions.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND SCOPE OF WORK

During September 22 through November 12, 2010, Buys and Associates, Inc. (B&A) conducted an asbestos survey of thirteen buildings on the Department of Veterans Affairs

(VA) Medical Center campus, located at 2360 East Pershing Boulevard in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Mr. Craig Bagley with the Department of Veterans Affairs, contracted and requested this inspection to identify Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBMs).

According to the Statement of Work provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs, the buildings to be surveyed at the Cheyenne VA included buildings 1, 1C, 1CA, 1CX, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 23, 25, 26, 42 and 45.

The objective of this inspection was to perform a comprehensive survey to determine the presence and condition of all ACBM and to recommend response actions for the materials identified. The scope of work for this inspection was outlined in solicitation

VA-259-10-RQ-0236.

• Perform a comprehensive survey (inspection and assessment) of selected facilities

(and portions of facilities) to determine the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and VA Directives.

• Conduct an Asbestos Assessment of every accessible space in the selected facilities (and portions of facilities).

• Prepare a written report of findings with tables outlining the quantities, types, and locations of ACM, as well as a hazard ranking, recommended response action, and associated cost estimate of implementation of those response actions. In addition, contractor is to provide color CAD drawings identifying the sample locations, and material locations.

• Write an Operations and Maintenance plan that addresses procedures for maintaining existing ACM and implementing the OSHA asbestos notification requirements for building occupants.

Cheyenne VA Medical Center 2 B&A Environmental

• Create a facility database that the VA Engineering staff can query for tabular information about the locations, quantity, damage, access/damage potential, and recommended response actions for the ACMs identified during the survey.

To accomplish this survey, B&A identified all accessible areas in each building by name and room number. Table 3 and 5 in Appendices A through V identifies the functional spaces, materials, quantities, condition, hazard ranking, and any recommended response actions.

The specific buildings (and portions of buildings) included in this survey are:

• Building 1 (all accessible areas)

• Building 1C (all accessible areas)

• Building 1CA (all accessible areas)

• Building 1CX (all accessible areas)

• Building 4 (all accessible areas)

• Building 23 (all accessible areas)

• Building 25 (all accessible areas)

• Building 26 (all accessible areas)

• Building 42 (all accessible areas)

• Building 45 (all accessible areas)

2.0 INSPECTION PROCEDURES

The asbestos survey was performed using the applicable portions of the currently recognized standard protocol developed for schools under Asbestos Hazard Emergency

Response Act (AHERA), as promulgated in Title 40, Code of Federal Regulations (40

CFR), Part 763 and as amended in the Federal Register.

2.1 Building Inspection and Sampling

The building inspections were conducted by EPA-accredited inspectors and consisted of a detailed visual inspection and assessment of the condition and potential for disturbance of suspect asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM). The specific components of the inspection and assessment included:

• Identification and inspection of materials by functional space. Summaries of the suspect materials identified are presented in the Data Tables in the appendices for each building.

• An assessment of suspect, known, or assumed ACBM.

• Identifying suspect ACBM's by material type, with a unique identifier. The 4 groups are thermal system insulation (TSI), surfacing materials, miscellaneous materials, and floor covering.

B&A uses a standardized numbering system to identify Homogeneous Materials during the survey. Letters T, F, S, or M designate material types as follows:

Cheyenne VA Medical Center 4 B&A Environmental

− Thermal Insulation (pipe insulation, fittings, etc.): T01 - T10 (example: T02.2

Hard Pipe Insulation)

− Floor Covering (floor tile, sheet vinyl, mastics and adhesives, floor leveling compounds, cove base, etc.): F01 - F07 (example: F04.4: 9”x9” Floor Tile –

Gray)

− Surfacing Materials (texturing and fire-proofing): S01 - S02

− Miscellaneous Materials (roofing, sink undercoating, gypsum board, etc.):

M01 – M17 (example: M10.1: Gray Window Caulk)

2.2 Bulk Sampling

Inspectors collected bulk samples of suspect ACBM and submitted the samples to an accredited laboratory for analysis. Bulk sample numbers are included in the Bulk

Sample Log (Table 4) in the appendices for each building.

• B&A conducted its sampling in a manner that minimized damage to the building, did not leave unsightly marks, and did not create a health hazard for the inspector or building occupants.

• The number of samples collected from each homogeneous area generally followed the AHERA rules.

• Friable surfacing materials were sampled using the random sampling scheme given in the EPA publication 560/5-85-030a, titled “Asbestos in Buildings:

Simplified Sampling Scheme for Friable Surfacing Materials.”

• Unique sample numbers were assigned to each sample collected during the inspection. The numbers assigned to bulk samples included the Building and

Room Number and the Homogenous Material sampled (example: VA3-001

M10.1 – Red Caulk). These numbers were entered on chain-of-custody forms that accompanied the bulk samples to the analytical laboratory.

• Locations of bulk samples and confirmed ACBM are identified on the Building

Floor Plans in the appendices for each building.

Cheyenne VA Medical Center 5 B&A Environmental

• Each material identified and sampled was photographed with a unique identification number inside the photo. These photos will be viewable in the database that will accompany this report.

2.3 Bulk Sample Analysis

Bulk samples were analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM) and visual estimation according to the EPA Interim Method for the Determination of Asbestos in

Bulk Insulation Samples, EPA-600/M4-82-020. The quantification of asbestos in a sample is intended to be an estimate only and the limit of detection for this method is approximately 1% by volume.

Samples were analyzed by Reservoirs Environmental, Inc. (REI) in Denver, Colorado.

REI is accredited under the National Institute of Standards and Technology, National

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NIST-NVLAP) for bulk asbestos sample analysis, and is also accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA).

The laboratory reports are included inthe appendices for each building..

EPA’s National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and

AHERA regulations define ACM as material containing greater than 1% asbestos by weight; materials containing 1% or less asbestos are not considered regulated ACM by the EPA. Further, the NESHAP regulations state that any sample found to contain less than 10% asbestos but greater than “none detected,” by the visual estimation method used during PLM analysis, must be assumed to contain greater than 1% asbestos unless confirmed by NESHAP point counting analysis.1

1 NESHAP point counting procedures are outlined in the EPA “Interim” Bulk Method. For each layer of a material to be point-counted, eight mounts are made by dispersing 8 pinches of a sample in suitable fluid.

Each of the mounts is examined under a polarizing microscope using an eyepiece reticule that superimposes a grid of points over the field of view. Fifty non-empty points are examined for each mount, yielding 400 points, some of which will be identified as asbestos and some not. The percentage of asbestos is determined by comparing the number of positive points to the number counted. For example, 4 positive points out of 400 equals 1.0% asbestos.

Cheyenne VA Medical Center 6 B&A Environmental

3.0 SURVEY FINDINGS

3.1 ACMs

ACBM is identified in Tables 1-5, the Building Floor Plans, and the Laboratory

Analytical Results in Appendices C through V. These tables describe the type of material, visual appearance, condition, friability, potential for disturbance, and identify any materials that require immediate actions.

3.2 Non-ACBM

Suspect materials are identified as non-ACBM if the material contains no detectable asbestos. Tables 2 and 3 in Appendices C through V identify the non-ACM materials.

Non-ACM material quantities are included in Table 2.

3.3 Damage and Hazard Assessment

Each ACM was assessed for damage, accessibility, and the potential for future damage.

This information is presented in Table 3, located in Appendices C through V.

3.3.1 Hazard Rank Codes

Hazard Rank Codes were determined by assessing the material condition, accessibility, and potential for future disturbance. ACBM materials, including those that contain less than 1% but greater than none detected, were assigned a Hazard Rank Code 1, 2, 3 or 4.

A Hazard Rank Code of 1 requires some immediate response action. Materials assigned a Hazard Rank Code 4 do not pose a significant risk and do not require immediate response. The Executive Summary Table outlines the recommended response actions that accompany Hazard Rank Codes 1 through 3.

• Hazard Ranking Code 1 Materials – These materials are damaged or significantly damaged ACBM with a high fiber release potential. These materials require immediate isolation, removal, repair, encapsulation and/or enclosure by a

EPA-certified asbestos abatement contractor.

Cheyenne VA Medical Center 7 B&A Environmental

• Hazard Ranking Code 2 Materials – These materials are damaged or significantly damaged ACBM with a low to moderate fiber release potential.

These materials require removal, repair, encapsulation and/or enclosure by a

EPA-certified asbestos abatement contractor.

• Hazard Ranking Code 3 Materials – These materials are intact (in good condition), but present a high potential for disturbance. These materials may be removed, enclosed, and/or labeled, or they may be managed in place in the

Operations and Maintenance Plan. B&A recommends that any intentional contact with ACBM be performed by a EPA-certified asbestos abatement contractor.

• Hazard Ranking Code 4 Materials – These materials are intact (in good condition), and present a low to moderate potential for disturbance and can be managed under the Operations and Maintenance Plan. They should be inspected periodically, however, to ensure they do not deteriorate.

3.4 Special Considerations

Materials with peculiar configurations or that are hidden or obscured, materials or areas that were inaccessible to our inspectors, and materials assumed to be asbestos-containing will be identified in Table 3 in each of the building appendices.

Roofing materials were sampled when it was clear that such sampling would not compromise the integrity of the roof. At the request of the VA Engineering Staff, we did not sample any materials associated with membrane roofs during this survey.

The roofing materials on the following buildings were not sampled:

• Building 1 (membrane roof)

• Building 1C (assumed ACM)

• Building 1CA (assumed ACM)

• Building 1CX (membrane roof)

• Building 4 (assumed ACM)

• Building 5 (assumed ACM)

• Building 6 (assumed ACM)

Cheyenne VA Medical Center 8 B&A Environmental

• Building 7 (assumed ACM)

• Building 8 (assumed ACM)

• Building 11 (assumed ACM)

• Building 12 (assumed ACM)

• Building 13 (assumed ACM)

• Building 18 (assumed ACM)

• Building 19 (assumed ACM)

• Building 20 (assumed ACM)

• Building 23 (assumed ACM)

• Building 25 (assumed ACM)

• Building 26 (assumed ACM)

• Building 42 (non-suspect)

• Building 45 (membrane roof)

3.5 Inaccessible Areas

Suspect materials that were hidden or inaccessible may not have been characterized by this inspection. Therefore, any material not identified in this report as having been tested should be treated as suspect ACM until it has been sampled by a EPA-certified inspector and analyzed by an accredited laboratory applying EPA methods.

In addition, some building structures may have been constructed after the application of

ACM, and therefore may have obscured these materials from visual examination during this inspection. Typical scenarios include thermal system insulation inside hardened mechanical chases, floor tile, and mastic under walls, and sprayed on texturing and/or fireproofing behind structural supports or architectural features.

Cheyenne VA Medical Center 9 B&A Environmental

3.5.1 Structural Mechanical Enclosures

The interior contents of structural mechanical enclosures (hardened chases) were inspected where possible. The chases throughout the building we inspected can be grouped into 3 categories: 1) those that have never been accessed and contain asbestos-containing thermal system insulation, 2) those located within a functional space (floor or section of the building) that has not undergone asbestos removal, but has been abated in conjunction with a pipe leak or other repair operation, and 3) those located in areas wherein large scale abatement projects have been conducted.

We inspected the interior contents of most of the hardened chases we encountered. The

ACBM in some of these hardened chases has been removed; however, many still contain

ACBM, including some hardened chases in areas where large scale asbestos abatement was performed before renovation activities.

3.5.1.1 Recommendation

Prior to demolishing any hardened chase, attempt to inspect the contents to determine if it contains ACBM. If you cannot determine the contents, demolition should be performed applying the requirements of VA Specifications for asbestos abatement.

4.0 APPLICABLE RULES AND REGULATIONS

In Wyoming, EPA asbestos regulations are administered by either the EPA or Wyoming

Department of Air Quality. OSHA is responsible for administering OSHA regulations.

4.1 Renovation and Demolition (EPA and OSHA)

NESHAP regulations require the removal of friable ACM and non-friable ACM that could become friable during demolition activities.

Despite EPA rules exempting building materials containing 1% or less asbestos from stringent regulation, OSHA regulations outline specific precautionary work practices when employees work with materials containing any detectable amounts of asbestos.

Strict compliance by building owners with the OSHA asbestos regulations may result in response actions not required by the EPA for certain unregulated materials.

Cheyenne VA Medical Center 10 B&A Environmental

5.0 COST ESTIMATES FOR REMOVAL

The Cost Estimates for Response Actions included in the Executive Summary and

Operations and Maintenance Plan Tables only address the costs associated with response actions in specific rooms or functional spaces (i.e., materials assigned a Hazard Rank of 1 through 3). The Material Removal Unit Cost Estimates Table below outlines the estimated removal costs associated with all of the various homogeneous materials identified during this survey, including Hazard Ranking 4 materials (i.e., those materials that are in good condition and have a low potential for disturbance), which were not included in the Executive Summary table.

5.1 Cost Estimate Limitations

These cost estimates are provided for use in long-term budgeting and planning only, and do not have a level of accuracy sufficient to be used as a construction design cost estimate. The actual cost of asbestos removal is highly dependent on a number of factors such as the size of the job (single room or mechanical enclosure, or an entire floor or building); the required time frame for removal; the time of year the job is conducted; and travel time and distance to the job for the contractor. Therefore, actual removal costs could vary significantly from these estimates.

We have attempted to capture the range of costs in our Unit Removal Cost Estimate.

Materials replacement and consultant abatement management costs are not included in these estimates and can add 15 - 50% to the project costs.

6.0 PROJECT LIMITATIONS

This project was performed using, as a minimum, practices consistent with standards acceptable within the industry at this time, and a level of diligence typically exercised by

EH&S consultants performing similar services.

The procedures used attempt to establish a balance between the competing goals of limiting investigative and reporting costs and time, and reducing the uncertainty about unknown conditions. Therefore, because the findings of this report were derived from the scope, costs, time and other limitations, the conclusions should not be construed as a guarantee that all universal, toxic and/or hazardous wastes have been identified and fully evaluated. Furthermore, B&A assumes no responsibility for omissions or errors resulting

Cheyenne VA Medical Center 12 B&A Environmental from inaccurate information, or data, provided by sources outside of B&A or from omissions or errors in public records.

It is emphasized that the final decision on how much risk to accept always remains with the client since B&A is not in a position to fully understand all of the client's needs.

Clients with a greater aversion to risk may want to take additional actions while others, with less aversion to risk, may want to take no further action.

GENERAL ASBESTOS INSPECTION INFORMATION:

1. Homogeneous Materials – B&A uses a standardized numbering system to identify Homogeneous Materials during the survey. Letters T, F, S, or M designate material types as follows:

• Thermal Insulation (pipe insulation, fittings, etc.): T01 - T10 (example: T02.2 Hard Pipe Insulation)

• Floor Covering (floor tile, sheet vinyl, mastics and adhesives, floor leveling compounds, cove base, etc.): F01 - F07 (example: F04.4: 9”x9” Floor Tile – Gray)

• Surfacing Materials (texturing and fire-proofing): S01 - S02

• Miscellaneous Materials (roofing, sink undercoating, gypsum board, etc.): M01 – M17 (example:

M10.1: Gray Window Caulk)

2. Friability: Friability is defined in accordance with EPA’s NESHAP regulations.

• “Friable ACM” is any material containing more than 1% asbestos (as determined by PLM) that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure and also includes non-friable ACM that may become friable during building demolition.

• “Non-friable ACM” is any material containing more than 1% asbestos (as determined by PLM) that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

• “Category I non-friable ACM” are asbestos-containing resilient floor coverings (commonly known as vinyl asbestos tile (VAT)), asphalt roofing products, packings, and gaskets.

• “Category II non-friable ACM” encompasses all other non-friable ACM.

• “Non-friable RACM” is used to denote thermal system insulation that is in good condition but would become friable during renovation or demolition and therefore is “regulated asbestos containing material” (RACM).
