1.0 INTRODUCTION

As requested by the Phoenix Area Indian Health Services, bulk sampling of suspect asbestos-containing building materials was conducted in Building #5 & 6, Office, at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center (PIMC) at 4212 North 16th Street in Phoenix, Arizona, on August 1, 2002. Bulk samples of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were collected throughout the interior and exterior of the building.

Messrs. Mark Updike and James Marshall, representing Federal Occupational Health (FOH), performed the asbestos inspection of the subject property. Messrs. Updike and Marshall both hold current Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) accreditation as Asbestos Building Inspectors. Sampling of suspect asbestos-containing materials was conducted using procedures similar to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) AHERA regulations, 40 CFR 763. The Federal Occupational Health EH Environmental Laboratory in Denver, Colorado, performed the laboratory analysis of the asbestos samples.

Laboratory analysis indicates that floor tiles, floor tile mastics, wall texture, drywall joint compound, and window putty in Buildings #5 & 6, Office, contain asbestos.

2.0 DESCRIPTION OF INSPECTED AREA

This inspection focused on the entire interior and exterior of the building. The building is single story with a stucco exterior built slab-on grade. The roof consists of both a composite shingle and ceramic shingle roofing system.

Suspect building materials identified and sampled in the subject property included the following: Various floor tiles and associated mastics, various gypsum drywall materials, plaster wall materials, leveling compounds, cove base mastic, acoustical ceiling tiles and associated mastic, exterior stucco, window putty, and roofing materials.

3.0 SURVEY PROCEDURES

Each room was assigned unique functional space numbers. Each functional space was visually inspected for suspect asbestos-containing materials. Materials were mapped and quantified on maps provided by the IHS or on hand made maps of the existing floor plan.

Each suspect ACM was designated as a distinct homogeneous area, which is a single material, uniform in texture and appearance, installed at one time, and unlikely to consist of more than one type or formulation of material. The inspectors touched each suspect material in order to determine friability.

A sufficient number of samples were collected of each material to satisfy the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations for the determination of asbestos content. A total of 84 samples were collected from Buildings #5 & 6.

Each sample was assigned a unique sample identification number and assessed for damage and friability classifications. The samples, with Chain of Custody documentation were delivered to FOH EH

Environmental Laboratory for analysis. The FOH EH Environmental Laboratory is accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for bulk-asbestos sample analysis conducted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

A description of the samples taken, location, and summary of laboratory results are located in Appendix 1.

The asbestos laboratory reports are included as Appendix 2.

Laboratory analysis of the bulk samples collected from the Phoenix Indian Medical Center Buildings #5 & 6, Office, indicates that floor tiles, floor tile mastics, wall texture, drywall joint compound, and window putty contain asbestos.

Floor tile and mastics are non-friable NESHAP Category I materials. The materials occur in multiple layers and are in good condition and pose minimum health threat. Removal or disturbance to this material should be performed by appropriately trained and certified personnel. Removed flooring material may be disposed at a landfill that accepts non-friable asbestos waste. Landfills should be checked for acceptance of this material prior to the disposal of asbestos waste materials.

Drywall joint compound and wall texture are classified as NESHAP Category I materials assuming that no disturbance will be caused to them by either renovation or demolition. If disturbance to the material is required, they must be treated as friable NESHAP RACM. Removal of this material should be performed by appropriately trained and certified personnel. Friable materials must be disposed of at a regulated landfill, approved by the EPA for disposal of friable asbestos waste.

Window putty is a non-friable NESHAP Category I material. The material is in good condition and poses little health threat. Removal or disturbance to this material should be performed by appropriately trained and certified personnel. Removed window putty may be disposed at a landfill that accepts non-friable asbestos waste. Landfills should be checked for acceptance of this material prior to the disposal of waste materials.

5.0 ABATEMENT COST ESTIMATE

Following is the programming cost estimate for the removal of asbestos-containing materials.

Identified asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) consist of floor tile & mastics (5,241 sf), gypsum drywall materials (6,700 sf), window putty (31 sf).
