A5_1879 ACM_Pb Design Survey Results East Base Natural Gas Services (20 Dec 2011).pdf

This document is a Type B 50% Final Design report for the East Base Natural Gas Services project at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana. The project involves installing new natural gas services to five buildings on the east side of the base, including replacing or upgrading existing heating systems. The scope includes installing separate service lines with tracer wire, full port isolation valves, anodeless risers, gas meters, and regulators for each building. Additionally, existing fuel storage tanks, associated fuel lines, and secondary containment piping will be removed in accordance with Montana DEQ regulations.

The report includes detailed documentation of lead-based paint analysis conducted on various building components. Laboratory testing of 11 paint chip samples revealed multiple locations with lead-containing or lead-based paint, with lead concentrations ranging from 34.9 mg/kg to 15,900 mg/kg. The project will require careful handling and disposal of these materials, following OSHA and EPA guidelines for lead-based paint removal and worker safety. Mechanical demolition plans for Buildings 1844, 1845, 1879, 1890, and 1897 are included, with specific notes on equipment and infrastructure to be removed or retained during the natural gas service installation.
