This is an Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACM) survey report for the Fresno VA Medical Center, completed in October 2012 by Millennium Consulting Associates under RFP VA261-12-R-1059. The survey identified the presence of ACM in specified buildings at the facility to support planning for repairs, renovations, and demolition projects.

The survey encompassed Buildings 1-8, 15-19, 22, 24, 31, 32, 34, OPC, and select exterior underground pipe chases. Building 1 (the main hospital, 246,894 sf, constructed 1949) contained the most extensive ACM findings, with 1,443 samples collected across seven floors, basement, and subbasement. Positive ACM results (>1% and >0.1%) were documented in multiple material categories including resilient floor tiles and associated mastics (chrysotile at concentrations ranging from <1% to 20%), TSI pipe insulation (15-20% chrysotile, 20% amosite), vinyl sheet flooring, wall mastics, sealants, gaskets, roofing materials, transit panels, and elevator brake pads (assumed). Buildings 2-5 contained limited ACM findings, while Buildings 6-8, 15, 17-19, and 22 showed no or minimal ACM detection. The report includes AHERA Risk Assessment summaries and NESHAP inventory data with material condition ratings and friability assessments. Detailed sample locations, asbestos types, quantities, and photographic documentation are provided in appendices for reference during future abatement and demolition activities.
