ASBESTOS & LEAD PAINT INSPECTION SUMMARY

On June 27, 2024, Brett Brumbaugh of Castle Hill Associates performed a limited asbestos survey and lead paint XRF (X-Ray Fluorescence) testing prior to the planned renovations planned for the Rostrum and Historical Wall renovations at the Alexandria National Cemetery in Alexandria, VA.

Bulk samples were collected of suspect asbestos containing materials that will be impacted by the planned renovations at the site. There were 10 bulk samples taken as part of this survey with the materials tested and the lab analytical results included in this report.

The asbestos bulk sampling conducted as part of this project was based upon the appearance, texture, and location of the suspect materials. All bulk samples were analyzed utilizing current US EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) methods for PLM (Polarized Light Microscopy) by Eurofins Laboratory in Chantilly, VA. Eurofins is accredited by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), NVLAP program (National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program) and an AIHA (American Industrial Hygiene Association) accredited laboratory. The laboratory and inspector certifications are presented later in this document.

Lead paint and building component testing was conducted on all painted surfaces or suspect lead containing building materials in the renovation areas which will be disturbed as part of this project.

The testing was conducted utilizing a Viken Detection Pb200i direct read XRF analyzer. Painted components or building materials that were tested in the areas are considered to be “lead-based” paint or lead-containing building components as defined by the US EPA (greater than 1.0 milligram per centimeter squared or mg/cm2). The XRF analyzer used in this survey undergoes yearly leak testing to verify no radiation leakage from the unit.

The asbestos and lead testing were conducted by Brett Brumbaugh who is a Virginia licensed asbestos inspector and is also an EPA Licensed Lead Risk Assessor. Mr. Brumbaugh has been conducting asbestos surveys and lead sampling since 1987 and is licensed in 34 states.

ASBESTOS MATERIALS FINDINGS

As a result of the bulk sampling conducted during this inspection, there were no asbestos containing materials identified on the structures which will be impacted by the planned renovations at the site.

LEAD-BASED PAINT FINDINGS

As a result of the XRF testing for lead-based paint on building materials conducted during this inspection, there was lead identified as follows:

Lead Painted Building Materials/Components

Locations Paint Color

Metal railing top Flagpole upper railing Black

Railing spindle Flagpole upper railing Black

Railing bottom Flagpole upper railing Black

Poured lead anchors Flagpole upper railing Gray

Railing support Flagpole upper railing Black

CONLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS

ASBESTOS: There were no asbestos containing materials that will be impacted by the planned renovations. If any of the windows or roofing will be removed during the renovations, they should be tested prior to disturbance to verify the presence of asbestos materials.

LEAD-BASED PAINT: The identified lead painted components can remain in-place indefinitely and do not require abatement if they remain in-place. If the components are to be removed, disturbed, or repainted during the renovations, then personal air monitoring for the workers must be conducted to comply with OSHA requirements for lead exposure in construction to establish a negative exposure assessment.

ASBESTOS SAMPLING PROTOCOL

The bulk samples were collected from locations that were selected to be representative of the building materials. Sampling was accomplished using the simplified sampling scheme referred in the AHERA regulations and found in the “Pink Book”. Locations of individual samples are referred on this report.

The samples were either collected with a coring tool designed for asbestos sampling or placed into a plastic bag for laboratory analysis. The samples were analyzed via polarized light microscopy with dispersion staining, using the “Interim method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples” found in Appendix A to Subpart F in 40 CFR Part 763.

The regulations require specific numbers of samples be obtained per homogeneous area. For example, when sampling for joint compound or asbestos in hard plaster (sprayed-on or troweled-on surfacing materials) samples are to be taken based on the following increments: 0 to 1000 square feet of material, 3 samples are necessary. From 1001 to 5000 square feet, 5 samples are necessary, over 5000 square feet 7 samples are required. If during analysis any samples are found to contain asbestos, the entire homogeneous area is delineated as asbestos containing material. In the case of pipe insulation or other types of manufactured materials, the regulations require only enough samples to ascertain whether asbestos is present. In this case, the minimum number of samples to collect and analyze is usually three.

The sampling performed in this inspection followed these sampling guidelines.

ASBESTOS GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Friable asbestos material: means any material containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763 section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy, that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

Category I Non-friable Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) means asbestos containing packings, gaskets, resilient floor coverings, and asphalt roofing products containing more that 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763, Section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy.

Category II Non-friable ACM means any material, excluding Category I non-friable ACM, containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763, section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy that when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

Regulated Asbestos Containing Material (RACM): means (a) Friable asbestos material, (b) Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable, (c) category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or (d) Category II non-friable ACM 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 expected in the course of demolition or renovation operations regulated by this subpart.
