EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On August 6, 2014, IHI Environmental conducted a pre-demolition inspection of the Visitor

Information Center building located at the USDA Forest Service, Bridger Teton National

Forest Compound, Jackson, Wyoming. Mr. Kevin Lewis, Project Manager for Case, Lowe and Hart, Inc., requested this inspection to identify asbestos-containing material (ACM) and

Universal, Hazardous, and Toxic Wastes materials that need to be addressed before the building is demolished or renovated. The following ACM and Universal, Hazardous, and

Toxic Wastes materials were identified during this inspection and assessment.

ACM

None

Universal, Hazardous, and Toxic Wastes

Mercury-vapor fluorescent light tubes (50 – 4-foot)

Ballasts containing PCBs (25)

Containers of liquid waste (TBD)

Table 1 in this Asbestos Inspection and Assessment Report contains detailed information about the suspect material sampled, and Section 2 (Findings) in the Universal, Hazardous, and Toxic Waste Inspection Report contains detailed information about the Universal, Hazardous, and Toxic Wastes.

CONCLUSIONS

ACM – No ACM was identified in this building. No further action is required.

Universal, Hazardous, and Toxic Wastes – Protocols for identification and disposal of hazardous materials have been developed by the Salt Lake County Health Department

(SLCHD). These protocols require building owners to identify and remove all Universal, Hazardous, and/or Toxic Wastes from buildings before they are demolished. Disposition of these materials must follow EPA Guidance outlined in 40 CFR 273 (Standards for Universal

Waste Management) and 40 CFR 261 and 262 (Resource Conservation and Recovery Act), and Department of Transportation regulations outlined at 49 CFR 173 (Shippers - General

Requirements for Shipments and Packaging). Using the same guidelines as the SLCHD sets

USDA FS/Visitors’ Information Center Executive Summary IHI Environmental forth in Utah, IHI recommends that the materials identified during this inspection be removed and disposed of by properly trained and licensed contractors.

COST ESTIMATES

IHI’s cost estimates to remove the ACM and remaining hazardous materials outlined above are:

ACM: None

Hazardous Materials: $430

These estimates do not include the costs for asbestos abatement design and management consulting services

The report that follows this Executive Summary should be read in its entirety because it includes important information, such as material descriptions and locations, regulatory requirements, and building specific recommended response actions.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

On August 6, 2014, IHI Environmental conducted a pre-demolition inspection of the Visitor

Information Center building located at the USDA Forest Service, Bridger Teton National

Forest Compound, Jackson, Wyoming. Bulk samples of suspect asbestos-containing material were collected by Mr. John Larson (State of Utah, Asbestos Inspector Certification Number

ASB-0894) (AHERA Certification Number 130712). The State of Wyoming has a reciprocal agreement with the State of Utah and honors the same requirements for certification.

1.1 Facility Description

The building is a single-level structure with a 4’ crawlspace. Building size is approximately

1,472 square feet. Construction date is 1966. The construction is wood frame with a log exterior. Interior finishes are wood walls and ceilings, with coarse wood fiber panel ceilings in the north portion. The floors have carpeting and vinyl floor sheeting on a wood substrate.

The roof area has tar and felt build-up on a wood substrate. The building’s heating system consists of electrical radiant heaters. No cooling system was identified.

1.2 Scope of Work

The objective of this inspection was to locate, identify, quantify, and document the accessible suspect ACM, universal, hazardous and toxic wastes, and to provide a cost estimate for proper removal. The inspection was limited to accessible surfaces, structures, and mechanical systems with minor destructive sampling of wall cavities.

ACM is any material containing more than one percent asbestos, as determined by polarized light microscopy (PLM).

2.0 METHODOLOGY

Suspected ACM was identified and characterized in terms of homogeneous areas. A homogeneous area is defined as 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.

All suspect ACM was touched to determine its friability. Friable ACM, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

USDA FS/Visitor’s Information Center 2 IHI Environmental

The inspector photographed each homogeneous area sampled. Photographs are included in

Appendix B of this report.

2.1 Bulk Sample Collection

Bulk samples were collected from accessible homogeneous areas of suspected ACM for subsequent laboratory analysis to determine actual asbestos content. Sampling was generally conducted in a manner that minimized damage and unsightly marks in the building and did not create a health hazard for building occupants or inspectors.

The number of samples collected from each homogeneous area generally followed the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act

(AHERA) regulations (see 40 CFR part 763, subpart E), and the Wyoming Department of

Environmental Quality regulations, which generally follow the AHERA guidelines.

Although AHERA regulations do not apply to this property, the AHERA regulations provide the most comprehensive and acceptable guidance for conducting field inspections for ACM.

The AHERA regulations require the inspector to collect between three and seven samples of surfacing materials, depending on the size of the homogeneous area. Likewise, inspectors collect enough samples of thermal system insulation and miscellaneous materials to confidently characterize the material’s composition.

2.2 Bulk Sample Analysis

All bulk samples were analyzed by EMLab P&K, in Phoenix, AZ, using PLM in accordance with the EPA Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials (EPA-

600/R-93-116). EMLab P&K is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and

Technology (NIST) under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program

(NVLAP).

2.3 Bulk Sample Results

Table 1 identifies all material sample numbers and locations, the homogeneous area number and description, and the quantity of the material. Appendix A includes the analytical reports provided by the laboratory. Appendix B contains photographs of each homogeneous area of suspect ACM identified during this inspection.

USDA FS/Visitor’s Information Center 3 IHI Environmental

3.0 CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION

No ACM was identified in this building. No further action is required.

3.1 Inaccessible Areas/Materials

The storage room east of the west restroom was locked, with no accessible key. Suspect materials that were hidden or inaccessible may not have been characterized by this inspection. Therefore, any material not identified in this report as having been tested should be treated as suspect ACM until it has been sampled by a Wyoming-certified inspector and analyzed by an accredited laboratory applying EPA methods.

4.0 PROJECT LIMITATIONS

This project was performed using, as a minimum, practices consistent with standards acceptable within the industry at this time, and a level of diligence typically exercised by industrial hygiene consultants performing similar services.

The procedures used in this investigation attempt to establish a balance between the competing goals of limiting investigative and reporting costs and time, and reducing the uncertainty about unknown conditions. Therefore, because the findings of this report were derived from the scope, costs, time, and other limitations, the conclusions should not be construed as a guarantee that all hazardous materials have been identified and fully evaluated. IHI’s professional opinions are based in part on the interpretation of data from discrete sampling locations that may not represent conditions at non-sampled locations. IHI assumes no responsibility for omissions or errors resulting from inaccurate information, or data, provided by sources outside of IHI or from omissions or errors in public records.

Furthermore, it is emphasized that the final decision on how much risk to accept always remains with the client since IHI is not in a position to fully understand all of the client’s needs. Clients with a greater aversion to risk may want to take additional actions while others, with less aversion to risk, may want to take no further action.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

On August 6, 2014, IHI Environmental conducted a pre-demolition inspection of the Visitor

Information Center building located at the USDA Forest Service, Bridger Teton National

Forest Compound, Jackson, Wyoming. Mr. Kevin Lewis, Project Manager for Case, Lowe and Hart, Inc., requested this inspection so that these materials could be identified and removed before demolition of this building.

The following materials were included in the scope of this inspection:

batteries pesticides mercury-containing thermostats and lamps

PCB light ballasts and oil-containing transformers identified and/or potential hazardous wastes

CFC-containing air conditioning units or refrigerators other containerized toxic or special wastes in the building

The building is a single-level structure with a 4’ crawlspace. Building size is approximately

1,472 square feet. Construction date is 1966.

2.0 METHODS

IHI conducted a visual inspection of all accessible areas throughout the building, but did not conduct any destructive inspection to characterize any material.

3.0 FINDINGS

The following materials were identified in the building:

Material Location Quantity Est. Removal

Cost

Mercury-vapor fluorescent light tubes Throughout 50 (4’) ~$130

Ballasts suspected of containing PCBs Throughout 25 Units ~$300

Material Location* Quantity Est. Removal

Cost

Containers of liquid waste Throughout TBD *Note

*Note: Liquid waste includes, but is not limited to, paints, thinners, pesticides, cleaners, and any other chemical compounds.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION

Protocols for identification and disposal of hazardous materials have been developed by the

Salt Lake County Health Department (SLCHD). These protocols require building owners to identify and remove all Universal, Hazardous, and/or Toxic Wastes from buildings before they are demolished. Disposition of these materials must follow EPA Guidance outlined in

40 CFR 273 (Standards for Universal Waste Management) and 40 CFR 261 and 262

(Resource Conservation and Recovery Act), and Department of Transportation regulations outlined at 49 CFR 173 (Shippers - General Requirements for Shipments and Packaging).

Using the same guidelines as the SLCHD sets forth in Utah, IHI recommends that the materials identified during this inspection be removed and disposed of by properly trained and licensed contractors.

5.0 COST ESTIMATE

The estimated cost for the removal, packaging, transportation, and proper waste disposal of the remaining materials is approximately $430. This estimate does not include fees for design or management consulting services.

6.0 PROJECT LIMITATIONS

This Project was performed using, as a minimum, practices consistent with standards acceptable within the industry at this time, and a level of diligence typically exercised by

EH&S consultants performing similar services.

The procedures used attempt to establish a balance between the competing goals of limiting investigative and reporting costs and time, and reducing the uncertainty about unknown conditions. Therefore, because the findings of this report were derived from the scope, costs, time and other limitations, the conclusions should not be construed as a guarantee that all universal, toxic and/or hazardous wastes have been identified and fully evaluated.

Furthermore, IHI assumes no responsibility for omissions or errors resulting from inaccurate information, or data, provided by sources outside of IHI or from omissions or errors in public records.

It is emphasized that the final decision on how much risk to accept always remains with the client since IHI is not in a position to fully understand all of the client's needs. Clients with a greater aversion to risk may want to take additional actions while others, with less aversion to risk, may want to take no further action
