Asbestos-Lead Base Paint Survey Bldg-125_20140812.pdf

Regulated Materials Inspection Report

Building 125

Fort Bliss, Texas

August 2014

Lead-based paint (LBP) and asbestos containing material (ACM) inspections at

Building 125 were conducted on 12 August 2014 by Ms. Suzanne Simpson and Mr.

Barry Vercoe of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District, Regional

Planning & Environmental Center (USAED, CESWF-PEC). The purpose of the inspections was to identify regulated materials at this building including LBP and ACM, which may require abatement prior to proposed renovation.

The LBP inspection included screening of painted surfaces to indicate the presence of lead in paint with an x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer, model LPA-1 manufactured by RMD Instruments, LLC, Watertown, Massachusetts. Mr. Vercoe is certified through manufacturer training to operate this model of analyzer, and is also certified by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) as a Lead Inspector, License Number 2060570, and Lead Risk Assessor, License Number 2070346, both with expiration date 25 April 2016. For the purpose of this inspection, the presence of LBP was confirmed on surfaces where XRF readings were equal to or greater than the HUD and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulatory threshold of 1.0 mg/cm2, and the presence of lead containing paint (LCP) was indicated on surfaces where XRF readings were 0.2 mg/cm2 or greater based on data in the Performance Characteristic

Sheet (PCS) for this XRF model provided by HUD. Worker protection measures are required under Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations listed in 29 CFR 1926.62 where materials containing any lead, including LBP or LCP, will be disturbed. XRF screening results are summarized in Table 1 of this report.

The presence of LBP was confirmed on a brick plaster wall outside room of room

7 (3.1 mg/cm2), wood window in restroom 4 (>9.9mg/cm2), exterior wood ceiling on the porch (6.8 mg/cm2), on the exterior porch brick walls (5.6 mg/cm2) and texture on the brick wall in the basement (1.0 mg/cm2). The presence of LCP at concentrations below the regulatory threshold for LBP was confirmed on a gypsum ceiling board outside of room 7 (0.3 mg/cm2) and a gypsum wall board in restroom 5 (0.3 mg/cm2).

The ACM inspection included collection of bulk samples of suspect material for laboratory analyses by polarized light microscopy (PLM). Ms. Simpson and Mr. Vercoe are certified as an Asbestos Inspectors by EPA approved training provided through

GEBCO Associates, LP, Hurst, Texas, with respective Certificate Numbers 14033

(expiration date 29 January 2015) and 13007 (expiration date 02 January 2015). Samples were analyzed by EMC Labs Inc., Phoenix, Arizona, which is certified by the Texas

DSHS for PLM analyses, License Number 300296, expiration date 30 July 2016.

Analytical results are summarized in Table 2 of this report, with the complete laboratory analytical report included as Appendix A. ACM is defined by the EPA to be any material containing greater than 1% asbestos as determined by PLM analysis.

Results reported by the analytical laboratory indicated ACM is present in the following materials: gypsum ceiling panel/joint compound (3% chrysotile), floor tile/black mastic (2% - 8% Chrysotile).

Distinctly stratified, easily separable layers of samples are analyzed as subsamples of the whole and are reported separately for each discernible layer. All analyses are derived from calibrated visual estimate and measured in area percent unless otherwise noted. The report applies to the standards or procedures identified and to the sample(s) tested. The test results are not necessarily indicated or representative of the qualities of the lot from which the sample was taken or of apparently identical or similar products, nor do they represent an ongoing quality assurance program unless so noted. These reports are for the exclusive use of the addressed client and that they will not be reproduced wholly or in part for advertising or other purposes over our signature or in connection with our name without special written permission. The report shall not be reproduced except in full, without written approval by our laboratory. The samples not destroyed in testing are retained a maximum of thirty days. The laboratory measurement of uncertainty for the test method is approximately less than 1 by area percent.

Accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program for selected test method for asbestos. The accreditation or any reports generated by this laboratory in no way constitutes or implies product certification, approval, or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the Federal Government. Polarized Light Microscopy may not be consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in floor coverings and similar non-friable organically bound materials.
