Re: Results - Limited Paint Sampling for Lead-Content Analysis VA Project: Correct Water Infiltration VA Project No.: 610-20-102 VA Northern Indiana Health Care System Marion Campus 1700 E. 38th Street Marion, Indiana 46953 Terracon Project No. N1207198

Dear Mr. Quinn:

Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) appreciates the opportunity to submit this letter report to FFE Inc. (Client) regarding the lead analytical results for limited paint sampling for the above-referenced project at the Marion, Indiana Campus of the VA Northern Indiana Health Care System (Marion, Indiana VA). We understand that this survey was requested for the purpose of a planned renovation regarding impacts to the roofs associated with Buildings 15, 16, 17, 124, 172, and 174 and the gutter systems associated with Buildings 15, 16, 17, and 124.

Terracon representative Mr. Lemuel Weyer conducted the limited paint sampling on July 15, 2020.

Sample collection was performed using a clean straight-edge razor to remove paint from designated surfaces. Collected paint samples were placed in sealable containers, labeled with unique sample numbers, and submitted under chain of custody to EMSL Analytical Inc. (EMSL) of Indianapolis, Indiana. Paint chip samples were submitted for analysis by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) per EPA Method SW846/3050B/7000B. EMSL is accredited for lead in paint analysis by the American Industrial Hygiene Association’s (AIHA®) Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELLAP), accreditation number 157245.

Lead Paint Analytical Results Summary The metal gutter systems and wood facia boards associated with Buildings 15, 16, and 17 are each painted white. Terracon collected three (3) paint samples for lead-content analysis from each of the aforementioned buildings (a composite sample of white paint from gutters and facia boards from each of the three buildings). Buildings 124, 172 and 174 did not appear to have any painted surfaces which were likely to be impacted by the renovation project. The analytical results

Results - Limited Paint Sampling for Lead-Content Analysis Project: Correct Water Infiltration ■ Marion, Indiana VA July 28, 2020 ■ Terracon Project No. N1207198

Responsive n Resourceful n Reliable 2 indicated that all three (3) white paint samples contained a lead level above the analytical limit of detection; therefore, all metal gutter systems and wood facia boards associated with Buildings 15, 16, and 17 were identified as having lead in the white paint coatings.

A sample and results summary table and the laboratory analytical report are attached.

Regulation Summary Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard, 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1926.62 (Lead in Construction), does not reference a specific concentration of lead in a surface coating for applicability of the aforementioned regulation. The requirements under OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 are applicable to any concentration of lead found above analytical limit of detection (LOD). When disturbed, paints containing lead in any concentration represent an airborne exposure hazard that could exceed the OSHA legally enforceable action level (AL) or permissible exposure limit (PEL). Contractors that bid or conduct work activities that will disturb surfaces with analytically-confirmed lead-containing paint should be made aware of those so that they can plan for proper compliance with applicable federal and state regulations, and applicable VA specifications. Additionally, contractors should be aware that any untested paint surfaces should be assumed to also contain lead unless sampling and analysis refute lead-content.

Closing This sampling event was conducted for project specific areas. The sampling was of a limited nature specific to prominent and readily accessible painted surfaces that may be impacted by renovation and may not have included every painted surface. The sampling was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in the same locale. The results, findings and recommendations expressed in this letter report are based on conditions observed during the sampling event. This letter report has been prepared on behalf of and exclusively for use and reliance by the Client and is not a bidding document. Contractors or consultants reviewing this limited sampling report must draw their own conclusions regarding whether further investigation or remediation is deemed necessary. Terracon does not warrant the work of regulatory agencies, laboratories, or other third-parties supplying information, which may have been used in the preparation of this report. No warranty, express or implied, is made.
