RE: Asbestos-Containing Materials Testing Report, Harwood Building and Maintenance Garage, VA providence, Rhode Island

Dear Mr. Webster

Axiom Partners, Inc. (AXIOM) performed a targeted building materials survey for asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) associated with the Harwood Building and Maintenance Garage building at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Providence, Rhode Island. The purpose of this effort was to identify suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) prior to building renovations.

The scope of work included the collection of bulk material samples for determination of asbestos. An experienced Asbestos Inspector, Mr. Matthew Buccella (Rhode Island Asbestos Inspector License Number AAC-0817) performed the survey on November 18, 2013.

A. ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS (ACM) SURVEY:

The scope of the ACM survey included inspection of accessible areas (interior and exterior) of each building to collect representative samples of each type of suspect ACM. Suspect materials that were sampled included the following:

Harwood Building:

• textured wall material

• gypsum board and associated joint compound

• floor tile(s) and associated mastic(s)

• stair tread mastic

• carpet mastic

• ceiling tiles

• glue daubs (with 1’ x 1’ ceiling tile)

Maintenance Garage:

• window glazing

Mr. David Webster Asbestos Survey Report April 12, 2017 Harwood Bldg/Maintenance Garage Page 2 VAMC, Providence, RI

• door caulking

• gypsum board and associated joint compound

• floor tile(s) and associated mastic(s)

Asbestos bulk sampling was performed in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) criteria. Samples were placed in labeled containers, which were sealed and submitted to the laboratory for analysis.

Chain-of-custody forms were used to ensure sample integrity.

Bulk samples collected during the inspection were submitted to EMSL Analytical Inc. (EMSL) located in Woburn, Massachusetts for analysis. EMSL is fully accredited for bulk sample analysis under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). EMSL is licensed by the State of Rhode Island for this analysis, license AAL-108.

Bulk samples were analyzed for asbestos content following EPA Method 600/R-93/116. The visual estimation technique was used to quantify asbestos concentrations. Please refer to the Tables 1 and 2 and the Asbestos Analytical Report in Attachment 1 for results.

All samples of each homogeneous application of a suspect material must be found to contain "less than or equal to 1% asbestos" to conclude that the material is non-asbestos under the EPA NESHAP (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants) regulation. The following materials in Tables 1 and 2 have been identified as Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs).

AXIOM recommends that any ACM which may be impacted by the proposed work be removed in advance by a qualified, State of Rhode Island-licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractor in

Mr. David Webster Asbestos Survey Report April 12, 2017 Harwood Bldg/Maintenance Garage Page 3 VAMC, Providence, RI compliance with governing regulations. Note that ACM may remain in-place if it will not be disturbed and may be enclosed, covered or encapsulated.

B. LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS

Asbestos Survey and Inaccessible Materials/Locations

The survey performed by AXIOM involved an investigation of the subject buildings for asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) as part of a pre-renovation due-diligence survey. It should be noted that the potential for concealed ACMs associated with these buildings to exist.

Inaccessible areas, systems, structural components, or surfaces which may not have been observed or investigated because it was impractical to demolish, disassemble, or remove systems or coverings.

AXIOM made every reasonable effort to address these potential ACMs at the facility; however, destructive sampling of window frames was not performed. As discussed above, the potential remains that concealed ACMs could be encountered during a building renovation.

Other Environmental Exclusions

1. This investigation did not include assessments for the presence of pesticides, herbicides, urea-formaldehyde or Radon, nor any air quality monitoring, or any chemical analyses of soil, surface water, or groundwater at the Site. Furthermore, this study did not include any subsurface exploration, testing or assessment for wetlands.

2. No attempt was made to check the compliance of present or past owners of the Site with Federal, State, or local laws.

Please call us if you have any questions or require our assistance.

Sincerely, Matthew Buccella Randal D. Ames Project Manager/Inspector Principal

This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST or any agency of the federal government. Non-friable organically bound materials present a problem matrix and therefore EMSL recommends gravimetric reduction prior to analysis. Samples received in good condition unless otherwise noted. Estimated accuracy, precision and uncertainty data available upon request. Unless requested by the client, building materials manufactured with multiple layers (i.e. linoleum, wallboard, etc.) are reported as a single sample.
