Site: Mid-Atlantic Social Security Center (MATSSC) Location: Philadelphia, PA Project: Elevator Modernization Project

1.2: Purpose and Scope

Cocciardi and Associates, Inc. (Cocciardi) was contracted by Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) to perform an ACM Assessment and Limited Lead Paint and PCB Surveys to facilitate the Elevator Modernization Project at the above-referenced site. The assessment was requested to meet requirements of the U.S.

General Service Administration (GSA) policy in addition to U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Philadelphia Department of Public Health (DOPH), and U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, where applicable and as outlined below:

Asbestos: OSHA Asbestos in General Industry and Construction Standards (29 CFR 1910.1001 and 1926.1101, respectively); EPA Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (40 CFR 763);

City of Philadelphia DOPH Asbestos Control Regulation (July 20, 2009); and, GSA Public Buildings Service Asbestos Policy (September 2007).

Lead Paint: OSHA Lead in Construction (29 CFR 1926.62); SSA Lead Compliance Program (022114).

PCBs: EPA PCBs Manufacturing, Processing, Distribution in Commerce, and Use Prohibitions

(40 CFR 761)

The scope of the project was limited to the surfaces, materials, and components that are to be potentially impacted by the proposed project. These locations were designated based on the provided Scope of Work dated September 6, 2016 and information provided by GPI representatives during an onsite review of the building.

1.3: Site/Project Background

MATSSC: The MATSSC, located at 300 Spring Garden Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was built in 1974. The MATSSC is a seven (7) story, 570,000 square foot office building and consists of a brick and glass exterior, with one level below grade, and a mechanical penthouse.

It is anticipated that elevator cab interiors, machine/mechanical room components, hoist ways, pits, and shafts for all freight and passenger elevators will be impacted by the proposed scope of work, as found in Appendix A. Additionally, flooring, wall, and ceiling components within the Environmental Control Center may be disturbed during moderate renovations.

Greenman Pedersen, Inc. -2-

Cocciardi was provided with an Asbestos Reinspection Report generated by The United States Public Health Service on September 19, 2013. Information from this report was reviewed and accounted for during this assessment as deemed appropriate by Cocciardi. This report is provided in Appendix B.

1.4: Limitations

The assessments were limited to those areas identified by GPI as being potentially impacted by the scope of the above project. Asbestos sample collection was limited to accessible areas. Invasive measures were performed as applicable and permitted by building representatives. Sampling of certain elevator components was not permitted by site representatives.

Section 2: Asbestos Building Inspection

2.1: Inspection Personnel and Methods

The inspection was completed on November 17, 2016 by Cody Youshock, a Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry (PA DOLI)-accredited Asbestos Building Inspector and AMS-certified Asbestos Investigator in the City of Philadelphia. Refer to Appendix C for a copy of PA DOLI and Philadelphia licenses.

The Asbestos Building Inspection included a visual and tactile review of the designated areas included in the scope (listed above), sampling and quantification of suspect ACM, and evaluation of their current condition (friable or non-friable). These activities were conducted in accordance with the above-referenced OSHA and EPA regulations and guidance documents. Where adequate material was available, an appropriate number of samples were collected from each homogenous material identified as a suspect material. Level C (including P-100 filter equipped, full face, negative pressure respirator) protection was donned during sample collection of friable materials. Latex or nitrile gloves were changed and tools were adequately decontaminated between sample collection to prevent cross-contamination.

All samples collected by Cocciardi under the scope of this project were submitted to EMSL Analytical, Inc.

(EMSL) in Cinnaminson, New Jersey, and analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) via EPA Method 600/R-93-116. EMSL is a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program participating laboratory.

An assessment of the suspect asbestos containing building materials was conducted during the inspection, which included classification of material by the following criteria: Friability (friable or non-friable); and, EPA National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) Category.

Friability:

1. Friable: Friable material in a building means that the material, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure, and includes previously non-friable material after such material becomes damaged to the extent that when dry it may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

2. Non-Friable: Non-Friable means material in a building which, when dry, may not be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

Greenman Pedersen, Inc. -3-

EPA NESHAP Categories:

1. Category I Non-Friable ACM (CAT I): Asbestos containing packing, gaskets, floor covering, and asphalt roofing products containing more than one percent (1%) asbestos.

2. Category II Non-Friable ACM (CAT II): Any material, excluding Category I non-friable asbestos containing material, containing more than one percent (1%) asbestos. Material, that when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

3. Regulated Asbestos Containing Material (RACM): Friable asbestos material, Category I non-friable asbestos containing material that has become friable, and Category I non-friable asbestos material that will be or has been subject to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading. This includes Category II non-friable asbestos containing material that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition.

2.2: Results of the ACM Assessment

A total of thirteen (x13) suspect materials were identified as potentially impacted by the proposed renovations. Where existing documentation on laboratory analysis was not available or discernable, Cocciardi collected bulk samples of these suspect materials. In addition to the sampled materials, Cocciardi identified both non-suspect materials and suspect materials that are outside of the proposed scope. A summary of all materials is provided below.

Suspect Materials:

o Sampled – Yellow/Tan Linoleum Flooring (w/ Mastic); Spray-on Fireproofing localized at Penthouse Machine Rooms; 12” x 12” White/Gray Floor Tile (w/ Mastic) o Previously identified as non-asbestos – Drywall; Sheetrock; Joint Compound; Spray-on Fireproofing; Smooth Plaster; Textured Plaster; 2’ x 4’ Fissured/Pinholed Ceiling Tile; 2’ x 2’ Rough White Ceiling Tile o Previously confirmed as asbestos – None o Identified as a Presumed Asbestos Containing Material (PACM) – Pipe Gasket Material;

Elevator Brake Pads (Penthouse)

Non-Suspect Materials: Fiberglass Insulation (throughout); Concrete/Brick Structural Components;

Metal Interior Components; Glass Components; Armaflex Pipe Insulation; Fiberglass Ceiling Tiles;

Metal Elevator Cab Components; Ceramic Tiles; Carpet Components

Suspect Materials Outside of Project Scope: Exterior Components, such as window glazing/caulking;

Roofing Components (Flashing, Roof Core); Fire Door Interior; Slop Sink Caulk (Gray); Boiler Insulation; Floor Leveling Compound; Flooring Components; Base Mold Components; Pipe Penetration Sealant; Flue Patches; Gray Patching Compound within Hoist ways (will be avoided during concrete block penetrations)

Note 1: The elevator inspection team advised Cocciardi not to disrupt the gasket material between the pipe flanges because the system was still active. There was not enough obtainable material in between the rivets to produce an adequate sample for analysis.

Greenman Pedersen, Inc. -5-

This material can be sampled at a later date if requested once the system is shut down. Specified locations only include areas that are anticipated to be impacted by the project scope of work.

Note 2: The elevator inspection team advised Cocciardi not to disturb the elevator brake pad material due to the potential of scoring the adjacent metal components that were touching the brake pads. This material can be sampled at a later date when elevator components are shut down and the units are ready to be replaced and potentially damaging components is of no consequence.

Note 3: These results were included in the report issued by The United States Public Health Service on September 19, 2013 which is attached as Appendix B.

2.3: Conclusions

C-1: The Asbestos Building Inspection performed within areas potentially affected by the Elevator

Modernization Project identified the following materials as ACM (greater than 1% asbestos):

2.4: Recommendations

R-1: In the event that the project is modified and will expand to other locations not included in this survey, or will impact suspect materials originally outside of the project scope, additional testing of suspect materials may be required.

R-2: Cocciardi recommends that the materials listed in Table II are resampled at a later date in which the conditions listed in Notes 1 and 2 in Table I can be met. Sampling is required to occur by an appropriately-licensed individual.

R-3: If the materials listed in Table II cannot be sampled, they must be classified as ACM. Asbestos abatement activities are recommended prior to any repair, renovation, or demolition activities which would disturb the matrix of confirmed ACM (identified in C-1).

It is recommended that any asbestos activity be performed in accordance with applicable EPA, OSHA, PA DEP, and City of Philadelphia regulatory requirements. In order to comply with these requirements, the following is recommended:

1. Written EPA notification of demolition/renovation ten (10) working days prior to asbestos related activities, as required by the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Airborne Pollutants (NESHAP) of the Clean Air Act.

Greenman Pedersen, Inc. -6-

2. Development of a written Asbestos Abatement Project Design Specification, dictating abatement work practices and control measures to reduce airborne fiber concentrations, waste disposal requirements, and air sample collection and analysis requirements including the final clearance, (re-occupancy) criteria.

3. Selection of a licensed asbestos contractor for the performance of asbestos response activities.

4. Air sample collection and analysis subsequent to asbestos abatement activities in compliance with project design requirements for the re-occupancy by non-protected individuals.

Section 3: Lead Paint Screening

3.1: Inspection Personnel and Methods

The Lead Paint Assessment was completed on November 17, 2016 by Cocciardi representative Mr. Cody Youshock. The assessment identified five (5) representative surfaces that may be impacted by the proposed renovation activities. Where existing data on the paint was not available, Cocciardi collected a bulk grab or composite sample from each representative area. Samples were collected in accordance with the following industry-standard protocols:

Cocciardi donned new nitrile gloves prior to each sample.

Plastic sheeting was placed beneath each sampled area.

Coatings were physically removed via a scraper and utility knife. All sample collection tools were cleaned prior to, and after sample collection. Precautions were taken to preclude inclusion of substrates in the sample collection. Heat guns with a maximum temperature below 1100°F were used to assist in sample collection for some areas.

Each sample was placed in a new, labeled, plastic centrifuge tube.

After collection, plastic sheeting was removed and the area was either wiped with a wet cloth or

HEPA vacuumed.

Samples were subsequently submitted via Federal Express to Galson Laboratories, Inc. for analysis by Induced Coupled Plasma (ICP, EPA Method SW846-6010C). Galson is an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (NLLAP) accredited laboratory for the referenced method. Copies of laboratory analytical reports and associated chain of custody forms are provided in Appendix E.

3.3: Conclusions

C-2: Analytical results of samples collected from surfaces potentially impacted by renovations have confirmed the presence of lead within surface coatings on white concrete block (wall) components throughout the building and on blue/gray concrete floor surfaces throughout elevator shafts # 1, 2, 7, and 8, freight elevator mechanical rooms, and penthouse mechanical rooms.

3.4: Recommendations

R-4: Due to the presence of lead paint on the above-mentioned surface coatings that may be impacted by renovations, all contractors performing lead-related activities, as defined by the OSHA Lead in Construction Standard in 29 CFR 1926.62 (including demolition, removing, salvaging, enclosing, encapsulating, etc.), are required to conform to all applicable regulations designated by the above standard. Applicable elements for compliance identified by the OSHA Lead in Construction Standard include, but are not limited to:

• Employee exposure assessments

• Personal and respiratory protective equipment

• Implementation of a lead compliance program

• Work practice and engineering controls

• Lead hygiene training

• Medical monitoring
