EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Terracon Consultants Inc. (Terracon) conducted an asbestos and lead paint survey of the building located at the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (DMAFB) Repair Base Communications HQ, FAC
1540 in Tucson, Pima County, Arizona. The survey was conducted on April 25, 2019 by an
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)-accredited asbestos building inspector and a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certified lead-based paint (LBP) inspector. This survey was conducted in general accordance with Terracon Proposal No.
P63177104, Revision 1, dated July 30, 2018. We understand the purpose of this survey was to identify and locate asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), LBP, and Lead-Containing Paint (LCP) within interior and exterior areas slated for renovation. We understand future renovations include a mechanical system overhaul and will affect building materials along the north and south faces of the building.
The asbestos portion of the survey was performed to satisfy requirements of the EPA Regulation
40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61, Subpart M, National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). Suspect ACM samples were collected in general accordance with the sampling protocols outlined in EPA 40 CFR Part 763 Subpart E, known as
AHERA. Bulk asbestos samples were delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by
Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). Although reasonable effort was made to survey accessible suspect materials, additional suspect but un-sampled materials could be located in walls, in voids or in other concealed areas.
The lead paint survey was performed to assist in compliance with United States Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements for lead-in-air content during disturbance of painted materials. The lead paint sampling was performed in general accordance with the procedures prescribed in the EPA’s work practice standards for conducting lead paint testing (40
CFR 745.227). The lead paint survey was not designed to meet the requirements of the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for LBP surveys. The lead paint survey was conducted by collecting paint chip samples for laboratory analysis.
Asbestos Findings
Terracon collected a total of 41 bulk asbestos samples from 13 homogeneous of suspect ACM throughout the building. None of the samples were identified as containing greater than 1% asbestos. As such, none of the materials sampled are considered ACM.
The following materials were identified as a result of laboratory analysis as containing ≤1% asbestos:
HA No. Material Description Material Location Estimated Quantity*
1 Window Pane Glazing North and South Face of Building 320 Square Feet
*Estimated quantities are based on a cursory field evaluation, and actual quantities may vary significantly, especially if asbestos containing materials are present in hidden and/or inaccessible areas not evaluated as part of this survey.
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 2
The materials listed in the table above were determined by PLM point counting to contain asbestos at concentrations ranging from 1.2% to 1.3% chrysotile asbestos. Per Appendix E of 40 CFR 763, Subpart E, the EPA interprets these results to be rounded down to the nearest whole number (1).
Thus these materials are considered not to contain asbestos at concentrations greater that 1% and is not regulated by NESHAP. However, compliance with the OSHA standard (29 CFR 1926.1101) is still required. Compliance by building owners with the OSHA asbestos regulations may result in response actions not required by the EPA for certain unregulated materials. Under the OSHA
Construction Standard for Asbestos (29 CFR 1926.1101), materials containing less than or equal to 1% asbestos is still regulated to some degree. The employer who disturbs this asbestos material must, 1) use wet methods, 2) promptly contain any waste in leak-tight containers, and 3) conduct air monitoring or have a negative exposure assessment. The waste is not regulated for transportation or disposal by EPA or OSHA.
A summary of the classification, condition and approximate quantity of identified trace ACM is presented in Appendix A. A summary of suspect ACM samples collected during the survey is included as Appendix B. Diagrams depicting the surveyed areas and sample locations are included in Appendix E.
Terracon can provide the Client with a proposal for developing asbestos abatement specifications
(project design) and for performing abatement oversight, air monitoring, and air clearance testing upon request.
Lead Paint Findings
Terracon collected 8 paint chip samples from the site structure. Of the samples collected, the following sample was identified as LCP (paint containing detectable concentrations of lead less than 5,000 parts per million (ppm):
Sample No. Paint Description Sample Location
L-8 Tan Paint on Metal Window Frame North Exterior
A summary of the identified LCP is provided in Appendix C. A summary of all paint chip samples collected during the lead paint survey is included as Appendix D. Diagrams depicting the surveyed areas and sample locations are included in Appendix E.
Occupational exposure to lead occurring in the course of construction work, including demolition, is subject to the OSHA “Interim” Lead Exposure in Construction standard (29 CFR 1926.62). OSHA considers that surface coatings or materials that contain lead at concentrations exceeding the laboratory detection limit may constitute a health hazard to employees engaged in lead-related construction work. A negative exposure assessment should be conducted to determine if exposure during construction activities are below the required OSHA action levels and permissible exposure limits.

2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION
The site is developed with an approximate 50,000 square foot building (Facility 1540) located on the DMAFB in Tucson, Arizona. Facility 1540 is a former metal airplane hangar renovated for office use. The floor system of Facility 1540 consists poured flooring covered by rolled vinyl flooring, vinyl tiling, and carpeting. The weight-bearing wall systems are constructed of metal beams and siding. The interior walls are constructed of textured drywall systems. The ceiling systems are constructed with drop-in acoustic ceiling tiles.
3.0 FIELD ACTIVITIES
The surveys were conducted by Derek R. Sizemore, an AHERA-accredited asbestos inspector and EPA-certified LBP inspector. Copies of inspector certificates are provided in Appendix G. The asbestos survey was conducted in general accordance with the sample collection protocols established in EPA 40 CFR Part 763 Subpart E Section 763.86, AHERA. A summary of survey activities is provided in this section. The lead paint survey was conducted in general accordance with the procedures prescribed in the EPA’s work practice standards for conducting lead paint testing (40 CFR 745.227). The sampling was not designed to meet the requirements of HUD.
3.1 Visual Assessment
Asbestos
Survey activities were initiated with visual observation of the interior and exterior of the building to identify homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. A homogeneous area (HA) consists of building materials that appear similar throughout in terms of color and texture with consideration given to the date of application. Assessment was conducted in visually accessible areas of the building proposed for demolition and renovation. Building materials identified as metal, glass, or wood were not considered suspect ACM.
The roofing systems were not sampled as part of this survey. Terracon inspected the interior ceiling, wall, and flooring systems in multiple places throughout the building and did not observe additional coverings/layers except where noted in this report, but there may be additional suspect material present within the building in concealed areas that was not observed.
Lead Paint
Terracon visually assessed the interior and exterior of the existing building to identify construction materials suspect for lead paint. Painted/coated surfaces which appear similar throughout in terms of color, texture, substrate and date of application are treated as a homogeneous material for paint chip collection purposes. Painted/coated surfaces were visually assessed for evidence of distress, flaking, and/or peeling.
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 3
3.2 Physical Assessment
Asbestos
A physical assessment of each homogeneous area (HA) of suspect ACM was conducted to assess the friability and condition of the materials. A friable material is defined by the EPA as a material which can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry.
Friability was assessed by physically touching suspect materials.
A physical assessment of each selected painted surface was conducted to assess its condition.
The painted surfaces were assessed as good, fair or poor condition depending on degree of cracking, peeling or chipping.
3.3 Sample Collection
Based on observations, bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in general accordance with
EPA AHERA sampling protocols. Samples of suspect materials were collected from randomly selected locations in each homogeneous area. Bulk samples were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for fiber release. Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample numbers using an indelible marker.
The selection of sample locations and frequency of sampling were based on Terracon’s observations and the assumption that like materials in the same area are homogeneous in content.
Terracon collected 41 bulk asbestos samples from 13 homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. A summary of the classification, condition and approximate quantity of identified ACM is presented in
Appendix A. A summary of suspect ACM samples collected during the survey is included as
Appendix B. Diagrams depicting the site buildings, and sample locations are included in Appendix
E.
Lead Based Paint
Terracon collected 8 paint chip samples during the lead paint survey. A summary of the identified lead-based and lead-containing paints is included in Appendix C. A summary of all paint chip samples collected during the lead paint survey is included as Appendix D.
3.4 Sample Analysis
Asbestos
Bulk suspect ACM samples were submitted under chain of custody to International Asbestos
Testing Laboratories of Mt. Laurel, NJ for analysis by PLM with dispersion staining techniques per EPA methodology 600/R-93/116. The percentage of asbestos in a sample, where applicable, was determined by microscopic visual estimation. International Asbestos Testing Laboratories is
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 4 accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) Accreditation
No. 101165-0. A copy of the analytical laboratory report is provided in Appendix F.
The EPA recognizes that PLM analysis of asbestos bulk samples can be inaccurate at low concentrations of asbestos (i.e., less than 10%). In Appendix E of 40 CFR 763, Subpart E (Interim
Method of the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples), the EPA codifies point counting as part of the asbestos analytical method. For samples reported with <10% asbestos by
PLM visual estimation, the laboratory further analyzed the sampled by the point count method.
Paint chip samples were submitted under chain of custody to International Asbestos Testing
Laboratories of Mt. Laurel, NJ for analysis by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (FAAS) per
EPA methodology SW846-(3050B:7000B). International Asbestos Testing Laboratories is accredited under the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) (Accreditation No. 100188).
A copy of the analytical laboratory report is provided in Appendix F.
4.0 REGULATORY OVERVIEW
Asbestos
The Asbestos NESHAP program in Arizona is enforced by federal, state, and county Asbestos
NESHAP Coordinators. For projects occurring in Pima County, the County has been delegated authority from the EPA to enforce the Asbestos NESHAP within its respective jurisdictional boundaries, excluding tribal lands.
The Asbestos NESHAP (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste disposal practices. The NESHAP regulation also requires the identification and classification of existing ACM according to friability prior to demolition or renovation activity.
Friable ACM is a material containing more than 1% asbestos that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure. All friable ACM is considered regulated asbestos containing material (RACM).
The asbestos NESHAP regulation classifies ACM as either RACM, Category I non-friable ACM or Category II non-friable ACM. RACM includes all friable ACM, along with Category I and
Category II non-friable ACM that has become friable or will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading, or ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder in the course of renovation or demolition activity.
Category I non-friable ACM are exclusively asbestos-containing packings, gaskets, resilient floor coverings, resilient floor covering mastics and asphalt roofing products that contain more than 1% asbestos. Category II non-friable ACM are all other non-friable materials other than Category I non-friable ACM that contain more than 1% asbestos. Category II non-friable ACM generally includes but is not limited to cementitious material such as: cement pipes, cement siding, Cement
Panels (Exterior), glazing, mortar and grouts.

The OSHA asbestos standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos must not exceed 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter of air (0.1 f/cc) as an eight-hour time weighted average (TWA) and not exceed 1.0 fibers per cubic centimeter of air (1.0 f/cc) over a 30 minute time period known as an excursion limit (EL). The TWA and EL are known as OSHA’s asbestos permissible exposure limits (PELs). The OSHA standard classifies construction and maintenance activities which could disturb ACM and specifies work practices and precautions which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated work.
The lead paint sampling activities were conducted in general accordance with the EPA’s work practice standards for conducting lead activities (40 CFR 745.227). Lead is regulated by the EPA and OSHA.
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) gave the EPA authority to regulate the waste status of demolition or renovation debris, including lead-containing materials. Specific notification and testing requirements must be addressed prior to transporting, treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous wastes. Lead containing wastes are considered hazardous waste under
RCRA if Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) results exceed five milligrams per liter
(mg/L). EPA exempts from most RCRA requirements those generators whose combined hazardous waste generation is less than 100 kilograms (kg) per month.
The US EPA has established an action level for LBP of 1.0 milligram per square centimeter
(mg/cm2), 0.5% by weight or 5,000 ppm. If a sample analytical result is equal to or greater than
1.0 mg/cm2, 0.5% by weight, or 5,000 ppm, the prepared surface is considered to be LBP.
Detectable lead quantities may constitute a lead dust hazard during renovation and demolition activities. Personnel performing renovation and demolition activities that may disturb painted components and building surfaces with concentrations of lead above the designated analytical detection limit should comply with all current OSHA regulations in order to minimize employee exposure. OSHA defines lead paint as a paint, which contains lead, regardless of the concentration.
Currently, any proposed renovation or demolition is subject to the OSHA regulations (29 CFR
1926.62 – Lead Exposure in Construction). The OSHA regulation defines specific training requirements, engineering controls and working practices for construction personnel subject to this standard. Occupational exposure to lead occurring in the course of construction work, including maintenance activities, painting, alteration and repairs is subject to the OSHA “Interim” Lead
Exposure in Construction standard.
Construction work covered by 29 CFR 1926.62 includes any repair or renovation activities or other activities that disturb in-place lead-containing materials, but does not include routine cleaning and repainting where there is insignificant damage, wear, or corrosion of existing lead-containing coatings or substrates. Employers must assure that no employee will be exposed to lead at concentrations greater than 50 micrograms per cubic meter (g/m³) averaged over an eight-hour
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 6 period without adequate protection. The OSHA Standard also establishes an action level of 30 g/m³ which, if exceeded, triggers the requirement for medical monitoring.
The above overview is not intended to be inclusive of all potentially pertinent regulatory information.
The relevant EPA and OSHA standards should be consulted prior to undertaking activities involving the demolition, renovation, or maintenance of surfaces coated with lead paints.
5.0 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

6.0 LIMITATIONS/GENERAL COMMENTS
Terracon did not perform sampling which required demolition or destructive activities such as knocking holes in walls, dismantling of equipment or removal of protective coverings. Reasonable efforts to access suspect materials within known areas of restricted access (e.g., crawl spaces) were made; however, confined spaces or areas which may pose a health or safety risk to Terracon personnel were not sampled. Sampling did not include suspect materials which could not be safely reached with available ladders/man-lifts.
This Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) and LBP Survey 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, conclusions and recommendations expressed in this report are based on conditions observed during our survey of the building. The information contained in this report is relevant to the dates on which this survey was performed, and should not be relied upon to represent conditions at a later date.

Information Pertinent to this Report:
Analysis by US EPA 600 93-116: Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).
Certifications:
NIST-NVLAP No. 101165-0• NYSDOH-ELAP No. 11021• AIHA-LAP, LLC No. 100188•
Quantification at <0.25% by volume is possible with this method. (PC) Indicates Stratified Point Count Method performed. (PC-Trace) means that asbestos was detected but is not quantifiable under the Point Counting regimen. PC Trace represents a <0.25% amount. Analysis includes all distinct separable layers in accordance with EPA 600 Method. If not reported or otherwise noted, layer is either not present or the client has specifically requested that it not be analyzed (ex. analyze until positive instructions). Small asbestos fibers may be missed by PLM due to resolution limitations of the optical microscope. Therefore, PLM is not consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in non-friable organically bound (NOB) materials. Quantitative transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is currently the only method that can pronounce materials as non-asbestos containing.
Analytical Methodology Alternatives: Your initial request for analysis may not have accounted for recent advances in regulatory requirements or advances in technology that are routinely used in similar situations for other qualified projects. You may have the option to explore additional analysis for further information. Below are a few options, listed as the matrix followed by the appropriate methodology. Also included are links to more information on our website.
