Executive Summary

An asbestos-containing materials survey was conducted by IHI Environmental (IHI), of

Emeryville, California, of the interior and exterior of Building 020 at the Department of

Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) in San Francisco, California. The survey was conducted in response to “Contract Number GS-10F-0446R,” dated June 30, 2009, and under the terms and conditions of the “Revised Scope of Work Project 662-09-007

Asbestos Survey and Evaluation,” dated April 30, 2009. At the direction of the VAMC, the survey did not include the assessment or sampling of roofing system materials, laboratory countertops, or materials associated with fume hoods. The survey was conducted for use in ongoing operations and maintenance, and for planning potential future renovations. The field survey of this building was conducted on November 9, 2009 by State-certified personnel from IHI.

The following general types and estimated quantities of asbestos-containing materials were identified in Building 020.

No asbestos-containing materials were revealed or assumed during this survey.

Comments and Recommendations

1. Asbestos-containing materials that may be subsequently revealed in the building should be removed prior to the demolition of the building or any renovation that might otherwise disturb them. Friable asbestos-containing materials, or materials likely to become friable during demolition, must be removed in accordance with regulations promulgated by the State of California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District

(BAAQMD). Asbestos abatement must be conducted by a licensed, registered

San Francisco VA Medical Center Building #«Buiding_» ii IHI Project #09B-2173 asbestos abatement contractor. Waste generated from asbestos abatement work must be properly packaged, labeled, transported, and disposed.

2. Asbestos-containing materials that may be subsequently revealed in the building should be integrated into, and managed in accordance with, the VAMC’s Asbestos

Operations and Maintenance Program. Damaged ACM should be repaired or removed to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air.

3. At the request of the VAMC, materials associated with fume hoods, laboratory countertops, and roofing systems were not sampled or included in our reporting.

Suspect materials associated with these systems must be assumed to contain asbestos until and unless proven to be otherwise.

4. In accordance with applicable regulations, employees, visitors, and/or contractors entering this building should be notified of the presence, location, and quantities of any asbestos-containing materials, as well as lead-containing paints and/or other chemicals listed under Proposition 65.

5. Workers engaged in asbestos-related construction or maintenance activities in this building should proceed in accordance the VAMC’s Asbestos Operations and

Maintenance Program, which requires the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). The need for respiratory protection should be evaluated by a

Competent Person (as defined by Cal/OSHA) and may require, at a minimum, a half-face air purifying respirator with P-100 filter cartridges. Other PPE may include disposable clothing, work gloves, work boots, eye protection and hardhats.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

An asbestos-containing materials survey was conducted by IHI Environmental (IHI), of

Emeryville, California, of the interior and exterior of Building 020 at the Department of

Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) in San Francisco, California. The survey was conducted in response to “Contract Number GS-10F-0446R,” dated June 30, 2009, and under the terms and conditions of the “Revised Scope of Work Project 662-09-007

Asbestos Survey and Evaluation,” dated April 30, 2009. At the direction of the VAMC, the survey did not include the assessment or sampling of roofing system materials, laboratory countertops, or materials associated with fume hoods. The survey was conducted for use in ongoing operations and maintenance, and for planning potential future renovations. The field survey of this building was conducted on November 9, 2009 by State-certified personnel from IHI.

The survey was conducted by IHI employees certified by the California State Division of

Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) as either Certified Asbestos Consultants

(CAC) or Site Surveillance Technicians (SST). The following employees conducted the field survey: Michael Benefield (CAC #06-3938), and Ian Dirk (CAC# 07-4276). This survey project was managed by Michael Benefield, PE, Senior Project Manager.

2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION

Building 020 is a masonry and wood framed structure comprising approximately 2,100 square feet. The building has one story. It contains garage and storage spaces.

Typical interior finishes include 020 This building has no mechanical systems.

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 2

3.0 ASBESTOS MATERIALS SURVEY

3.1 Building Survey

The interior and exterior areas of the buildings were visually assessed for building materials judged to potentially contain asbestos (suspect materials). Suspected asbestos-containing materials (ACM) were touched to determine friability, where accessible.

Suspect materials were evaluated and assessed in terms of homogeneous areas. A homogeneous area is defined as a single material, uniform in texture and appearance, thought to have been installed at one time, and unlikely to consist of more than one type or formulation of material.

In each room that IHI surveyed, each wall was inspected to determine the wall material.

If the wall or portion of the wall consisted of gypsum wallboard system, one or more small cuts were made in the surface to observe if a skim coat is present. Where carpet is present, the carpet was pulled up (either in a corner or at the threshold) to look for other flooring materials or residual mastic from an older flooring installation. IHI did not typically check under the carpet in multiple locations per room.

Sample locations were patched using a quick drying patching spackle or quick drying and paintable silicon caulk/adhesive. The silicon caulk/adhesive was occasionally used to re-adhere flooring, baseboard, or other items to the substrate after sampling or inspection.

In each room, IHI used estimating techniques (such as pacing or counting standard-sized building elements) to estimate the dimensions of the room. Those dimensions were used to calculate approximate quantities of the materials in the room. Wall material quantities were calculated by multiplying the perimeter of the room by the height and then subtracting twenty square feet for each observed door. Floor and ceiling material quantities were calculated by multiplying the width by the length of the

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 3 room. Materials that were present only in portions of a room were estimated by the surveyors.

The VAMC supplied IHI with CAD floor plan drawings of the building. These drawings were field verified for general accuracy of room configuration. When the drawings did not match field observations, the observed configuration was manually modified on the printed plan drawings and the CAD drawings were subsequently modified to match the notations. The modified drawings were used as a basis for the sample and material location drawings which are included in Appendix G of this report. The modifications were made by personnel with no architectural training and should be assumed to be approximations of observed wall layouts.

At the direction of the VAMC, IHI used the room number designations that were posted on or near the entry to each room. In the absence of a posted room number, IHI used the room number found on the floor plan drawings, and, in the absence of either, IHI designated a number or description and added that designation to the floor plan drawings provided in Appendix G. These room numbers are shown on the sample and material location drawings and in the sample and material location tables of this report.

3.2 Bulk Sample Collection

A total of 5 bulk samples were collected from the building. The actual number of samples analyzed and, hence, the number of analytical results contained in the attached laboratory report, may be fewer than this number. Generally, this is due to the laboratory not continuing to analyze all of a set of homogeneous material samples once a positive result is obtained for that sample set. This “stop at first positive” approach to sample analysis allows for the determination as to whether or not a homogeneous material is asbestos-containing (i.e., contains greater than 1% asbestos) without requiring the redundant analysis of additional samples of the same material. Samples were collected from accessible homogeneous areas of suspected ACM for subsequent laboratory analysis to determine actual asbestos content. Sample collection was conducted in general accordance with the Bay Area Air Quality Management District’s

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 4

(BAAQMD) Regulation 11 Rule 2, as pertains to building inspection for asbestos.

BAAQMD implements the federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air

Pollutants (NESHAP) requirements for asbestos building inspection prior to demolition or renovation activities.

The NESHAP regulation mandates that buildings be “thoroughly inspected” for the presence of regulated asbestos-containing materials (RACM) prior to demolition (or renovation that would disturb RACM). BAAQMD’s Regulation 11 Rule 2 stipulates that suspect building materials that will be disturbed by planned demolition or renovation activities be sampled and analyzed in accordance with the methodologies set forth in the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) regulations, or be assumed to be asbestos-containing. The AHERA regulations are published in the Code of Federal

Regulations, Title 40, Part 763 (40 CFR 763). The sampling criteria are presented in 40

CFR 763.86.

Since the building was in use at the time of this survey, deconstructive sampling methods, which might have revealed suspect materials in otherwise inaccessible locations, were avoided. At the request of the VAMC, IHI did not collect samples of suspect materials in occupied portions of the building when sampling would likely degrade the material’s function or appearance. Likewise, suspect materials in inaccessible locations, if present, have also not been characterized by this survey. At the request of the VAMC, IHI did not collect samples of, or record in our data, materials associated with fume hoods, laboratory countertops, or the roofing systems.

Any other suspect materials that have not been identified or characterized for asbestos content, if encountered, should be managed as ACM until and unless sampling and analysis conducted in accordance with BAAQMD requirements reveals this to be otherwise. The identification and analysis of such materials should be conducted as the materials are encountered and prior to their disturbance. Access to currently inaccessible locations (e.g., sealed ceiling or wall spaces, and layers under sub-floors) will require the demolition of concealing materials or strata.

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 5

3.3 Sample Analysis

Bulk samples were analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM) in accordance with the EPA Method No. 600/R-93-116. PLM is the EPA-recommended analytical method for detecting asbestos in building materials. Asbestos concentrations resulting from this analytical methodology are reported in percentages of asbestos present, based upon visual estimation. Samples were analyzed by Asbestos TEM Laboratories, Inc. in

Berkeley, California. ATEM is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and

Technology - National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program for bulk asbestos sample analysis.

3.4 Bulk Sample Analytical Results

Appendix E of this report contains a list of samples, sample locations, and analytical results for each of the samples. Samples are listed in order of homogeneous area number. Appendix G of this report contains plan drawings of the building showing bulk sample locations. Copies of the laboratory analytical reports for the samples collected in this building are included in Appendix F of this report.

3.5 Asbestos-Containing Materials

A homogeneous area of a building material is considered to be an ACM if the laboratory analysis shows the material to contain greater than 1% asbestos. Based on the results of our survey and sample collection/analysis, the following categories and estimated quantities of ACM were identified in this building.

No asbestos-containing materials were revealed or assumed during this survey.

Tables summarizing all sampling results, as well as the original laboratory analytical reports, are included in the appendices of this report. Lab results reporting the

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 6 detectable presence of asbestos in specifically sampled materials should be assumed to be representative of all similar materials encountered in this building, whether tested or untested.

Appendix B of this report contains a summary of homogeneous materials that were reported not to contain asbestos. Appendix C of this report contains a room-by-room listing of each suspect material observed, its asbestos content (if any), the estimated quantity of each suspect material, and its observed condition. The table in Appendix C could be useful when planning a renovation in a particular space. Appendix D of this report contains a detailed list of each material, showing each of the rooms in which that that material was identified. The table in Appendix D could be useful if you wanted to know all of the locations of a particular ACM. Appendix G contains plan drawings of the building, showing locations of identified ACM.

The NESHAP and AHERA regulations define ACM as material containing more than 1% asbestos; materials containing less than 1% asbestos are not ACM under NESHAP, nor

AHERA. However, Cal/OSHA worker protection regulations define asbestos-containing construction material (ACCM) to be any material containing greater than 0.1% asbestos by weight. Cal/OSHA defines four classes of asbestos-related construction work (Class

I, Class II, Class III, and Class IV) which are regulated under the Construction Safety

Orders for Asbestos (8CCR §1529, et. seq.). These work classes and their respective requirements pertain to materials containing more than 1% asbestos. Exposure to materials containing less than 1% asbestos is still regulated by Cal/OSHA, but the handling and management of such materials are not subject to many of the requirements of this Cal/OSHA standard.

NESHAP also specifies that if the asbestos content of a sampled material is reported by the laboratory to be less than 10%, the asbestos content of the sample must either be verified by point-counting analysis, or assumed to contain more than 1% asbestos and be managed as an ACM. No samples were reanalyzed by PLM point-count analysis.

All materials reported to have detectable concentrations of asbestos must be assumed

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 7 to be ACM and handled accordingly until additional testing or analysis is conducted or until other information confirming an absence of asbestos is made available.

3.6 Inaccessible Areas / Materials

Most areas of the building were accessed during the survey. The following areas and/or possible materials were inaccessible during the asbestos survey and were not evaluated:

Inaccessible Locations

Room 3, storage space

Inaccessible Materials

Vapor barriers under slab (if present)

Any uncharacterized suspect material can be evaluated prior to its disturbance. Access to inaccessible locations (e.g., sealed ceiling or wall spaces, and layers under sub-floors) may require the destruction of concealing material(s) or strata. Suspect materials which have not been characterized in this report, if encountered, should be treated as ACM until and unless proven to be otherwise.

3.7 Abatement Cost Estimates

IHI periodically gathers current unit-rate costs of removal for various asbestos-containing materials from several California-licensed asbestos abatement contractors.

Those unit-rate removal costs are then averaged together by specific material to yield an average unit-rate of removal for various common asbestos-containing materials

(ACM). The contractor’s individual unit-rate costs typically assume that all reported quantities of an identified material(s) will be removed in one mobilization phase, and that the quantity of any given material is large enough to avoid unit cost increases for small quantities.

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 8

The abatement cost estimates we provide to clients are based on the average of these contractor unit-rate costs and the quantities of ACMs identified in our survey. The estimated quantity of each known ACM reported to be present in a building is multiplied by the average unit-rate cost for that material to produce our final abatement cost estimate for each specific material. The sum of the abatement costs estimated for all the ACMs reported in a room or building is presented as our abatement cost estimate for that room or building. Abatement cost estimates for each ACM in the building can be found in Appendix A of this report.

In IHI’s opinion, this method of abatement cost estimation, while not ideal, produces a useful starting point, or “rough order-of-magnitude,” for approximating future abatement costs. However, we recognize it does not consider several important factors and, consequently, does not render a well-defined estimate of what actual abatement costs will be. Actual costs to remove the identified ACM will be influenced by several additional factors, including, but not necessarily limited to, final scope of abatement work; actual quantity of materials to be removed; choice of abatement contractor;

prevailing market conditions; the number of required mobilizations; site-specific limitations; and/or the discovery of hidden conditions. Therefore, we caution against basing any abatement design or construction budget planning on this preliminary abatement cost estimate. A more reliable method of determining an accurate range of costs to abate the reported hazardous materials would be to request bids for a defined scope of work from several licensed and registered abatement contractors.

3.8 Response Options

ACM identified in this survey should be integrated into, and managed in accordance with, the VAMC’s Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Program. Any ACM identified in this report as being in a damaged condition should be repaired or removed to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air.

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 9

Certain materials may have been assumed to contain asbestos during the course of this survey. Such assumptions may have been made due to material inaccessibility, or an inability to sample a material without causing significant damage to it, or where sampling would have unavoidably created a potential asbestos hazard for building occupants. These materials are indicated in the tables of the Appendices by a “POS” in the Asbestos Result column. These materials must either be sampled to evaluate their asbestos content, or be managed as ACM. Materials which contain asbestos at a concentration greater than 1.0% are regulated by Fed/OSHA, Cal/OSHA, Fed/EPA, and

Cal/EPA. As required by federal and local regulations, these materials must be removed by a licensed and qualified asbestos abatement contractor prior to the start of renovation or demolition activities which would disturb them. Removal or disturbance of asbestos-containing materials should be specifically addressed in construction contract documents/drawings and monitored to ensure compliance with applicable regulations.

Regulated asbestos-containing materials (RACM) must be removed by a licensed and registered asbestos abatement contractor prior to the start of any demolition or renovation activities that would disturb them. According to current NESHAP regulations, friable1 ACM (and Category I or II non-friable ACM that may become friable during renovation or demolition) are to be considered RACM. Whether a non-friable material will be rendered friable during construction or demolition depends upon the work method(s) utilized. Typical renovation or demolition practices could reasonably be expected to render friable those non-friable ACMs identified in this report.

Asbestos-containing waste resulting from the removal of non-friable asbestos-containing materials would generally not be subject to management as a hazardous waste (depending on the work practices utilized), as long as the ACM were removed in a manner which did not render it friable. Friable ACM must be labeled, manifested, transported, and disposed of as a California (“non-RCRA”) hazardous waste. All waste

1 “Friable” materials are typically those that when dry can be crushed, crumbled, pulverized or reduced to a powder by hand pressure alone. Some regulations will consider materials that are rendered to a finely divided powder by natural or mechanical means to be comparable to a “friable” condition.

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 10 generated from asbestos abatement must be properly packaged, labeled, transported, and disposed.

Removal or disturbance of ACM or ACCM should be conducted in compliance with the work practices and exposure monitoring requirements of Cal/OSHA’s Construction

Safety Orders for Asbestos (8 CCR §1529, et. seq.) and the BAAQMD’s Regulation 11

Rule 2. Additional regulatory requirements pertaining to waste management, work notifications, contractor registration and licensing, and coordination with local agencies also apply to asbestos-related construction work.

4.0 COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Asbestos-containing materials that may be subsequently revealed in the building should be removed prior to the demolition of the building or any renovation that might otherwise disturb them. Friable asbestos-containing materials, or materials likely to become friable during demolition, must be removed in accordance with regulations promulgated by the State of California Division of Occupational

Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District

(BAAQMD). Asbestos abatement must be conducted by a licensed, registered asbestos abatement contractor. Waste generated from asbestos abatement work must be properly packaged, labeled, transported, and disposed.

2. Asbestos-containing materials that may be subsequently revealed in the building should be integrated into, and managed in accordance with, the VAMC’s

Asbestos Operations and Maintenance Program. Damaged ACM should be repaired or removed to prevent the release of asbestos fibers into the air.

3. At the request of the VAMC, materials associated with fume hoods, laboratory countertops, and roofing systems were not sampled or included in our reporting.

Suspect materials associated with these systems must be assumed to contain asbestos until and unless proven to be otherwise.

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 11

4. In accordance with applicable regulations, employees, visitors, and/or contractors entering this building should be notified of the presence, location, and quantities of any asbestos-containing materials, as well as lead-containing paints and/or other chemicals listed under Proposition 65.

5. Workers engaged in asbestos-related construction or maintenance activities in this building should proceed in accordance the VAMC’s Asbestos Operations and

Maintenance Program, which requires the use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). The need for respiratory protection should be evaluated by a

Competent Person (as defined by Cal/OSHA) and may require, at a minimum, a half-face air purifying respirator with P-100 filter cartridges. Other PPE may include disposable clothing, work gloves, work boots, eye protection and hardhats.

5.0 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 industrial hygiene consultants performing similar services.

The procedures used in this investigation 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 environmental or occupational hazards have been identified and fully evaluated. Where sample collection and testing have been performed, IHI's professional opinions are based in part on the interpretation of data from discrete sampling locations that may not represent conditions at non-sampled locations. IHI assumes no responsibility for omissions or errors resulting from inaccurate information, or data, provided by sources outside of IHI or from omissions or errors in public records.

Asbestos-Containing Materials Survey Report Page 12

Furthermore, it is emphasized that the final decision on how much risk to accept always remains with the client since IHI 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.

Enclosed please find the bulk material analytical results for one or more samples submitted for asbestos analysis. The analyses were performed in accordance with EPA Method 600/R-93/116 or 600/M4-82-020 for the determination of asbestos in bulk building materials by polarized light microscopy (PLM). Please note that while PLM analysis is commonly performed on non-friable and fine grained materials such as floor tiles and dust, the EPA method recognizes that PLM is subject to limitations. In these situations, accurate results may only be obtainable through the use of more sophisticated and accurate techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM) or X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Prior to analysis, samples are logged-in and all data pertinent to the sample recorded. The samples are checked for damage or disruption of any chain-of-custody seals. A unique laboratory ID number is assigned to each sample. A hard copy log-in sheet containing all pertinent information concerning the sample is generated. This and all other relevant paper work are kept with the sample throughout the analytical procedures to assure proper analysis.

Each sample is opened in a class 100 HEPA negative air hood. A representative sampling of the material is selected and placed onto a glass microscope slide containing a drop of refractive index oil. The glass slide is placed under a polarizing light microscope where standard mineralogical techniques are used to analyze and quantify the various materials present, including asbestos. The data is then compiled into a standard report format and reviewed by the authorized signatory before being released to the client.

Sincerely Yours, Lab Manager
