Asbestos Report VA American Lake Bldg 16.pdf

This document is an Asbestos Survey Report for Building Number 16 at the Department of Veterans Affairs American Lake Division in Tacoma, Washington, conducted by EHS International, Inc. on September 15, 2010. The comprehensive report details the findings of an asbestos materials inspection and resampling, identifying multiple locations with potential asbestos-containing materials (ACM) throughout the building.

The two-story building, which houses social work clinics and offices, was inspected using specific sampling and analytical techniques. Laboratory analysis revealed several materials containing asbestos, including black mastic associated with tan vinyl composite tile, black mastic with chrysotile asbestos (ranging from 2-3%), and red tile with chrysotile asbestos. The report includes detailed tables documenting sample locations, descriptions, and asbestos fiber percentages, and emphasizes that any identified ACM should only be handled by properly trained and certified personnel following strict safety protocols. The investigation was conducted in compliance with federal, state, and local environmental and safety regulations.
