Project: Lead Paint Testing at the Des Moines VA Central Iowa Health Care System

Landmark Environmental, LLC (Landmark) was retained by Anderson Engineering of Minnesota, LLC (the Client) to perform lead-based paint (LBP) testing (Testing) as part of a renovation project at the Veterans Affairs (VA) Central Iowa Health Care System located in Des Moines, Iowa (the Property). The Testing was conducted as part of the planning for a remodel project titled “636A6-22-104 Building 11 Replace Boiler Plant Brine Tank” (the Project). Only locations and materials that will be impacted during the Project were included in the Testing.

Landmark conducted the Testing on August 21, 2024. All test results are included in the attached sheets. Results that exceeded the OSHA Standards have been transferred to the following table:

INTERPRETING PAINT SAMPLING RESULTS

Iowa Occupational Safety and Health Administration (IOSHA) has adopted the federal

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and operates as an OSHA approved state plan. Because IOAHA has adopted federal OSHA standards, the results of the

Testing are compared to federal OSHA standards.

Testing surfaces for lead and establishing "safe" levels of lead content is difficult. The OSHA standard does not identify a lower level of lead content in paint that will eliminate the initial monitoring requirement.

Landmark tested a total of forty-seven (47) painted surfaces for lead. Twenty-seven (27) of these surfaces tested above the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guideline of 0.0 milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm2). Nine (9) of these surfaces also tested above the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)/ and the Housing and Hurban

Development (HUD) lead paint level of 1.0 mg/cm2. Additionally, five (5) quality control tests were performed during the Testing. If these results are used by a contractor to comply with the OSHA interim lead in construction standard (29 CFR 1926.62), the contractor must evaluate the potential for lead dust or fume generation from all activities which will disturb paint containing any detectable quantity of lead.

OSHA Standards apply to any employee disturbing (creating dust or fumes) materials covered with LBP. OSHA regulates lead as an airborne contaminant. Airborne concentrations during disturbance will vary with both the concentration of lead paint and with the operation (manual demolition, sanding, etc.). OSHA requires the contractor to show proof that the operations disturbing LBP in any concentration will not exceed the action level of 30 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) or the permissible exposure limit of 50 µg/m3.

This information is provided as a general approach to compliance with OSHA 29CFR

1926.62. It is not the intent of Landmark that this information applies to all situations involving the standard. The standard should be consulted in all cases, and interpretations verified with OSHA prior to construction.

A SciAps X-Ray Fluorescence field portable analyzer (XRF) was used to conduct lead paint testing in the Project work area where painted surfaces was observed. The Performance

Characteristic Sheet for this instrument is included in the Appendix. The following information details information on the specific XRF used in this inspection.

XRF Manufacturer SciAps

XRF Model Number X550-Pb

XRF Serial Number 02480

CONDITIONS

Landmark conducted the Testing and the Report in a manner consistent with the care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the environmental profession in the community under similar budget and time constraints.
