HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INSPECTION REPORT

EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades

Lexington VAHCS Bowling Campus 1101 Veterans Drive Lexington, KY 40502

1. SURVEY OVERVIEW

On October 18, 2022, Buildings 1 and 1A at the Veterans Affairs Health Care System, 1101 Veterans Dr, Lexington, KY, were inspected for asbestos-containing material (ACM) and lead-based paint (LBP) by representatives of Desert Concepts E&E and AMI Environmental (AMIE). The hazardous building materials inspection was conducted in preparation for EHRM infrastructure upgrades. The AMIE representatives were escorted to determine the impacted areas by Tyler Messner, General Engineer with the Lexington VAHCS.

The renovation project is hereinafter referred to as The Project. The inspection was initiated at the request of Mr. Nick Andrews, PE, SE of HFS Company, on behalf of the VA Medical Center. The inspection and was performed by Mr. Michael Cossette of Environmental Testing and Consulting of Kentucky LLC, in accordance with regulatory requirements and generally accepted industry methods. Copies of applicable requisite training certificates are provided in Appendix E.

1.1. Purpose and Scope

The purpose and scope of the inspection was to identify and sample suspect ACMs, LBPs or other lead containing building materials present in the project area that may be impacted by The Project.

1.1.1. Inspection Area

The hazardous building materials inspection of the project included all accessible interior and areas of rooms: D007D, C121, CU222, CU333, CU411, A002C, A104, A243, A345, A450, AU547, A627, A073, and A022 which will be renovated as part of the EHRM infrastructure upgrades in Buildings 1 and 1A. The above-described areas are hereinafter referred to collectively as the Inspection Area.

1.1.2. Limitations

Asbestos containing materials may exist in wall cavities or interstitial spaces between floors. It is recommended that any new materials discovered in the renovation process prior to or during construction be tested or abated.

Sampling of these materials may not be necessary if, in the case of suspect ACM, the materials are assumed to be ACM or if they are determined by a licensed asbestos inspector to be homogenous to other materials that were sampled. Materials assumed asbestos containing in the inspection area included fire doors.

1.2. Regulatory Reference

The asbestos inspection was conducted in accordance with USEPA National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations (ref.: 40 CFR, Part 61), following criteria established for identifying asbestos-containing building materials that may be impacted by planned renovation activities; applicable protocols established by the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) (ref.: 40 CFR 763). There is also no licensing requirement for lead paint sampling in non- HUD facilities.

The State of Kentucky does have State licensing for asbestos inspectors.

2. BUILDING INFORMATION

2.1. General Construction

This project involves the renovation of IT and Telecommunication Rooms.

2.2. Pre-Existing Information

Information on previous surveys or sampling for asbestos was provided. An “Asbestos Re-inspection” dated February 28, 2018 indicated the presence of asbestos containing flooring materials in Building 1, including Vinyl Floor Tiles (VFT) and associated flooring mastic.

3. INSPECTION METHODOLOGIES

3.1. Asbestos Inspection

The inspection and sampling were conducted in accordance with the USEPA National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations (ref.: 40 CFR, Part 61), following criteria established for identifying asbestos-containing. building materials that may be impacted by planned demolition. Additional aspects of the inspection methodology are discussed below.

3.1.1. Key Definitions

3.1.1.1. Homogenous Material

Homogenous materials are unique applications of building materials uniform in color and texture. The homogeneity of a material can be further defined by area(s) of application. Bulk sampling is conducted to determine the asbestos content of a homogenous material.

3.1.1.2. Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) define ACMs as any material that contains greater than one percent asbestos, as determined by visual area estimation (microscopic analysis). The State of Kentucky follows the EPA standard. Some materials contain one percent or less asbestos. While these materials are not ACMs by definition, they are still regulated by OSHA, for worker exposure.

3.1.1.3. Friable/Non-Friable ACM

Friable ACMs are materials that contain more than one percent asbestos and, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure, thereby releasing fibers into the air more readily. In contrast, non-friable ACMs are ACMs that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Non-friable ACMs are grouped into two categories: Category I and Category

II.

3.1.1.4. Regulated Asbestos-Containing Materials (RACM)

Regulated Asbestos-Containing Materials (RACM) include friable ACMs and non-friable ACMs that, depending on their category, have become friable, have been subjected to specific forms of impact damage, have a high probability of becoming friable, and/or may become friable during removal.

3.1.2. Homogenous Material Numbering Convention

All suspect asbestos materials are assigned a unique homogeneous material number. AHERA identifies three basic material types: Surfacing Materials (SM), which include spray and trowel applied materials, such as fireproofing, ceiling texture, plaster, etc.; Thermal System Insulation (TSI), which includes insulating materials applied to mechanical and plumbing components for temperature preservation and condensation prevention purposes; and Miscellaneous Materials (MM), which includes all other materials, such as floor coverings and mastics, roofing materials, asbestos cement products, and many others. When a homogenous material has multiple layers, individual layers are identified and analyzed separately by laboratory analysis.

3.1.3. Bulk Sampling

Bulk sampling must be performed to determine whether suspect building material contains asbestos. Asbestos bulk sampling for the inspection was conducted in accordance with protocols established by the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) (ref.: 40 CFR 763). Friability of the suspect asbestos-containing materials was determined by touching and/or sampling of the material.

3.1.3.1. Bulk Sample Numbering Convention

Bulk samples are given a sequence sample number when collected.

3.1.3.2. Polarized Light Microscopy Analysis (PLM)

Bulk samples collected during the inspection were submitted to an EPA accredited laboratory, EMSL Analytical, Inc. (EMSL), located at 6340 CastlePlace Dr.

Indianapolis, IN 46250. EMSL was instructed to perform Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) analysis, utilizing dispersion staining techniques (ref: EPA Method 600/M4- 82-020). PLM analysis is the least expensive and most commonly used visual estimate method. While PLM analysis is acceptable to EPA, OSHA, and most states for determining asbestos content, some states now require more sophisticated methods when analyzing certain types of materials.

A total of 36 asbestos bulk samples were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis. PLM Analysis was performed on the samples collected, including all heterogeneous layers. Heterogeneous applications are individual layers of different materials contained within a single bulk sample, each of which must be analyzed individually to determine its asbestos content (e.g. vinyl floor tiles and mastic; cove base and mastic; etc.). Table 1 lists all samples collected and analyzed in the current survey.

Some samples and/or heterogeneous applications may not have been analyzed by the lab if a positive result was obtained from a sample that is among a group of samples representing a suspect material. This process, known as stop on first positive, is followed because if a single sample is found to be positive, that material is determined to be ACM, thus making it unnecessary to analyze any additional samples in the sampling group.

Please refer to the Table 1– Asbestos Material Sampling Table in Appendix A for a complete listing of all materials sampled. The laboratory analytical reports may be found in Appendix C for the current inspection.

3.1.3.3. Quantification Method Analysis

EPA regulations allow materials determined to contain less than 10 percent asbestos utilizing a visual estimate quantification method, such as PLM analysis, to be treated as non-asbestos containing if the material is re-analyzed using one of two quantification methods and determined to contain one percent or less of asbestos. The two acceptable quantification methods are point count analysis and TEM Chatfield analysis.

Quantification methods are more time-consuming and more expensive analytical procedures that are occasionally used to more accurately determine the amount of asbestos in certain samples. Because of their higher cost and the acceptable accuracy of the less expensive visual estimation method, laboratories do not typically perform quantification analyses unless specifically requested.

The quantification method known as point count analysis is used for most ACM types, except floor tile. The organic matrix composition of floor tile precludes the use of point count analysis to more accurately determine asbestos amounts within a sample.

Therefore, TEM Chatfield analysis—which effectively removes all organic materials, leaving only asbestos behind—is necessary to provide a more precise percentage of asbestos content in floor tile.

Please refer to section 6.0 Recommendations, for recommendations concerning supplemental analysis.

3.2. Lead-Based Paint Inspection

The LBP inspection included visual identification of homogenous paint applications sampling of the paint(s). While the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) promulgates guidelines for LBP inspections in child occupied facilities, there are no formal guidelines for non-HUD regulated inspections. Thus, the LBP inspection was conducted in accordance with generally accepted industry standards and practices. Additional aspects of the inspection methodology are discussed below.

3.2.1. Key Definitions

3.2.1.1. Homogenous Paint Applications

Homogenous paint applications are significant paint applications that are visually distinct by their color and uniformity. Significant paint applications do not include incidental occurrences of paint such as isolated occurrences of accent trim, artistic paints, etc.

3.2.1.2. Lead-Based Paint (LBP)

Pursuant to Federal Register, Vol. 61, No. 169, LBP is defined as paint or other surface coatings equal to or greater than 0.5 percent lead by weight or equal to or greater than 1 mg/cm2.

3.2.2. Homogenous Paint Applications Numbering Convention

Homogenous paints and coatings are assigned a unique homogeneous material number (HM#).

The HM# is referenced throughout the report to uniquely identify each paint application.

3.2.3. Lead-based Paint Sampling

Sampling of suspected lead-based paint was conducted. Samples of Lead-based Paint were collected from homogeneous paint applications for laboratory analysis. A total of 9 lead-based paint samples were collected.

5. RISKS AND HAZARDS

5.1. Asbestos

To be a significant health concern, asbestos fibers must be inhaled. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they become lodged in the lung tissue or alveoli. Here they clog and scar the tissues, causing the walls of the alveoli to lose their elasticity and useful function in respiration. Asbestosis (scarring of the lung), lung cancer, and Mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the chest or lining of the abdominal wall) are diseases associated with asbestos exposure. Risks and hazards increase with increased exposure. ACM condition, proximity to building occupants, building use, and other factors can influence the potential for asbestos fibers to become airborne, and therefore increase exposure risks.

5.2. Lead-Based Paint

Inhalation and ingestion are the major routes of lead exposure. Once in the body, lead is distributed via the bloodstream to red blood cells, soft-tissue and bone. The kidneys and gastrointestinal (GI) tract eliminate lead in the body very slowly, while minute amounts are lost through perspiration.

Lead in the body can cause serious damage to the central and peripheral nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and the kidneys. Exposure to high concentrations of lead can cause retardation, convulsions, coma, and sometimes death. Children are especially vulnerable and susceptible to lead poisoning. Even low levels of exposure persisting during childhood are known to slow a child’s normal development and cause learning and behavioral problems. Exposure to lead can result from deteriorating surfaces and activities mechanically impacting lead surfaces. Preventing exposure requires proper work practices, monitoring, disposal and personal protective equipment during demolition, alteration and friction producing activities.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS

The purpose of this section is to interpret survey findings and provide preliminary recommendations that may be relevant and appropriate at this time. Because this document is a presentation of investigative findings, recommendations related to future construction activities are inherently general in nature. More specific determinations concerning hazardous building materials to be impacted by construction should be made during the abatement project design process.

6.1. General Recommendations

6.1.1. Asbestos

State and/or federal regulations require that ACMs be removed prior to demolition or renovation activities that will impact the ACMs. Depending on the specific renovation work to be performed, certain ACMs may not require removal if they will not be disturbed and do not pose a risk to building occupants or construction trade workers. However, to ensure worker safety and to eliminate future asbestos-related maintenance and management costs and risks, AMIE recommends removal of all identified ACMs in the areas to be renovated. While partial abatement may be technically possible, it is often impractical and not cost-effective.

ACMs not impacted by renovation or demolition activities should be inspected annually and maintained in good condition. ACMs deemed to be in less than good condition (damaged or significantly damaged) should be repaired or removed and replaced. Such repairs should be performed by qualified persons and in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

6.1.2. Lead-Based Paint and Lead Containing Materials

Facility owners are ultimately liable for their lead-containing hazardous waste from cradle to grave. EPA regulations provide two ways to determine whether a waste stream, such as demolition debris containing LBP, must be classified as hazardous waste. Waste generators can either test the waste using an approved testing method (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure [TCLP]), or they can apply knowledge of the hazardous characteristic of the waste.

Any lead-based painted building components not removed during renovation should be considered for inclusion in a facility management plan that maintains potential exposure below OSHA action levels and ensures the material will be handled properly and in accordance with applicable regulations.

6.2. Hazardous Conditions Recommendations

Hazardous conditions noted in the inspection area included the visual observation of mold in buildings 7, 8, 9, and 10. Miscellaneous hazardous materials including PCB light ballasts and fluorescent light tubes were noted in the basements of Buildings 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. These items should be recycled or disposed of properly prior to construction.

6.3. Point Count Analysis / TEM Chatfield Analysis Recommendations AMIE does not recommend Point Count or TEM Chatfield analysis of any of the ACMs identified.

7. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

7.1. Asbestos-Containing Materials

The removal and disposal of ACMs is regulated at the federal, state, and, sometimes, local level. While some states have developed their own regulatory standards for the various asbestos disciplines, many states have adopted the federal standards but have established licensing requirements and enforcement authority at the state level.

7.1.1. Notification Requirements

EPA’s NESHAP regulation, 40 CFR, Subpart M, 61.145, Standard for Demolition and Renovation, stipulates that an owner of a facility submit proper notification with either the EPA’s regional office and/or the state and local regulatory agency of intention to demolish or renovate. Notifications must be received by the appropriate regulatory agencies 10 working days prior to commencement of asbestos stripping or removal, or other site work. If the demolition or renovation date changes, or the scope of work is increased, another notification is required.

7.1.2. Asbestos Removal Requirements

Asbestos removal must be performed by an abatement contractor following all work practices, worker protection, and disposal requirements set forth in the contract specifications and by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the EPA. Key federal regulations concerning asbestos include 29 CFR 1910.1001, 29 CFR 1926.1101, 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M, and 40 CFR 763.

7.1.3. OSHA Regulation of ≤ 1 Percent Asbestos

While EPA and many states do not regulate materials containing one percent or less asbestos, OSHA regulates materials containing any amount of asbestos. (Ref. OSHA Construction Industry Standard, 29 CFR 1926.1101(a)(3))

7.1.4. Asbestos Removal Regulations

Asbestos Containing Building Material (ACBM) should only be removed by companies with trained workers, and following all applicable regulatory and industry standards.

7.2. Lead Waste

7.2.1. Disposal Requirements

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) classifies lead-containing waste streams as hazardous materials if TCLP levels exceed five parts per million. If TCLP leachable lead levels exceed that threshold, EPA regulations (40 CFR 261) require the waste stream to be handled and disposed of as a hazardous waste. Waste streams containing less the five parts per million of leachable lead are classified as non-hazardous waste and can be disposed of in a construction and demolition landfill.

7.2.2. Lead in Construction Requirements

OSHA’s 29 CFR 1926.62 regulates worker exposure to lead during construction activities that include demolition or salvage of structures where lead or materials containing lead are present, as well as removal or encapsulation of lead-containing materials. The standard establishes maximum limits of exposure to lead, including a permissible exposure limit and action level, and should be adhered to during construction and demolition activities.

EMSL maintains liability limited to cost of analysis. Interpretation and use of test results are the responsibility of the client. This report relates only to the samples reported above, and may not be reproduced, except in full, without written approval by EMSL. EMSL bears no responsibility for sample collection activities or analytical method limitations. The report reflects the samples as received.

Results are generated from the field sampling data (sampling volumes and areas, locations, etc.) provided by the client on the Chain of Custody. Samples are within quality control criteria and met method specifications unless otherwise noted. The above analyses were performed in general compliance with Appendix E to Subpart E of 40 CFR (previously EPA 600/M4-82-020 “Interim Method”) but augmented with procedures outlined in the 1993 (”final”) version of the method. 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. Unless requested by the client, building materials manufactured with multiple layers (i.e. linoleum, wallboard, etc.) are reported as a single sample. Estimation of uncertainty is available on request.
