Cincinnati, OH 45220

1. SURVEY OVERVIEW

House, Parking Garage, 64, and 117 at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH and Fort

Thomas, KY were inspected for asbestos-containing material (ACM) and lead-based paint (LBP) by a representative of AMI Environmental (AMIE). The hazardous building materials inspection was conducted in preparation a construction project to upgrade the facilities electric and IT to allow for the new Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) system.

A VA representative, Mostafa Sabeh-Ayoun, escorted the hazardous building material inspection team to the rooms that will be impacted by the EHRM project. The project is hereinafter referred to as The

The inspection and sampling were performed by Lemuel Weyer & Colin Lauenroth in accordance with regulatory requirements and generally accepted industry methods. Copies of applicable requisite training certificates for Lemuel Weyer are provided in Appendix D.

1.1. Purpose and Scope

The purpose and scope of the inspection was to identify and sample suspect ACMs and LBPs in the project area that may be impacted by The Project.

1.1.1. Inspection Area

The hazardous building materials inspection of the project area included all accessible interior areas of the proposed areas of project impact. The proposed Project Area includes areas on multiple floors in Building 1, and other selected areas in multiple buildings at the VA Medical

Center, Cincinnati, OH & Fort Thomas, KY.

The limited survey area includes all accessible interior materials impacted by the EHRM renovation project and will be referred to as the Inspection Area.

1.1.2. Limitations

Bulk sampling is destructive by nature, i.e. samples are physically removed and sent to a laboratory for analysis. Destructive sampling protocols would include penetrating walls, roofs, pipe chases, floors, cabinets, and other materials covering enclosed spaces to inspect for concealed asbestos containing materials. Nondestructive sampling protocols prevented inspection and sampling of materials inside walls and other inaccessible areas of the building. Examples of

Project. The inspection was initiated at the request of Desert Concepts Energy & Environmental, Inc.

on behalf of the VA Medical Center.

On July 13-15, 2021, selected rooms in Buildings: 1, 2, 3, 8, 14, 15, EDU Trailer, Research Trailer, Fisher suspect materials not sampled, include those which may exist inside finished interior walls, pipe chases and rigid ceilings.

New materials may be discovered during demolition.

Sampling of newly discovered materials may not be necessary if the materials are assumed to be ACM.

1.2. Regulatory Reference

The asbestos inspection was conducted in accordance with USEPA National Emission Standard for

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations (ref.: 40 CFR, Part 61), following criteria established for identifying asbestos-containing building materials that may be impacted by planned renovation activities; applicable protocols established by the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act

(AHERA) (ref.: 40 CFR 763). The States of Ohio and Kentucky accept EPA AHERA training for asbestos inspectors and establishes licensing requirements for asbestos inspectors.

There is also no licensing requirement for lead-based paint sampling in non-HUD facilities.

2. BUILDING INFORMATION

2.1. General Construction

This project renovation for IT improvements

2.2. Pre-Existing Information

Information on previous surveys or sampling for lead-based paint or asbestos, was not provided.

3. INSPECTION METHODOLOGIES

3.1. Asbestos Inspection

The inspection and sampling were conducted in accordance with the USEPA National Emission

Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations (ref.: 40 CFR, Part 61), following criteria established for identifying asbestos-containing. building materials that may be impacted by planned renovation. Additional aspects of the inspection methodology are discussed below.

3.1.1. Key Definitions

3.1.1.1. Homogenous Material

Homogenous materials are unique applications of building materials uniform in color and texture. The homogeneity of a material can be further defined by area(s) of application. Bulk sampling is conducted to determine the asbestos content of a homogenous material.

3.1.1.2. Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) define ACMs as any material that contains greater than one percent asbestos, as determined by visual area estimation (microscopic analysis). The

States of Ohio and Kentucky follow the EPA standard. Some materials contain one percent or less asbestos. While these materials are not ACMs, by definition, they are still regulated by OSHA, for worker exposure.

3.1.1.3. Friable/Non-Friable ACM

Friable ACMs are materials that contain more than one percent asbestos and, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure, thereby releasing fibers into the air more readily. In contrast, non-friable ACMs are ACMs that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Non-friable ACMs are grouped into two categories: Category I and Category

II.

3.1.1.4. Regulated Asbestos-Containing Materials (RACM)

Regulated Asbestos-Containing Materials (RACM) include friable ACMs and non-friable ACMs that, depending on their category, have become friable, have been subjected to specific forms of impact damage, have a high probability of becoming friable, and/or may become friable during removal.

3.1.2. Homogenous Material Numbering Convention

All suspect asbestos materials are assigned a unique homogeneous material number. AHERA identifies three basic material types: Surfacing Materials (SM), which include spray and trowel applied materials, such as fireproofing, ceiling texture, plaster, etc.; Thermal System Insulation

(TSI), which includes insulating materials applied to mechanical and plumbing components for temperature preservation and condensation prevention purposes; and Miscellaneous

Materials (MM), which includes all other materials, such as floor coverings and mastics, roofing materials, asbestos cement products, and many others. When a homogenous material has multiple layers, individual layers are identified and analyzed separately by laboratory analysis.

3.1.3. Bulk Sampling

Bulk sampling must be performed to determine whether suspect building material contains asbestos. Asbestos bulk sampling for the inspection was conducted in accordance with protocols established by the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) (ref.: 40

CFR 763). Friability of the suspect asbestos-containing materials was determined by touching and/or sampling of the material.

3.1.3.1. Bulk Sample Numbering Convention

Bulk samples are given a sequence number when collected.

3.1.3.2. Polarized Light Microscopy Analysis (PLM)

Bulk samples collected during the inspection were submitted to an EPA accredited laboratory, EMSL Analytical, Inc. (EMSL), located at 6340 CastlePlace Dr.

Indianapolis, IN 46250. EMSL was instructed to perform Polarized Light Microscopy

(PLM) analysis, utilizing dispersion staining techniques (ref: EPA Method 600/M4-

82-020). PLM analysis is the most commonly used microscopic analysis estimate method and is accepted by EPA.

A total of 198 homogeneous materials were identified in the Inspection Areas.

Representative samples of the suspect materials were collected and submitted for laboratory analysis. PLM Analysis was performed on all distinct layers (i.e. mastic).

Heterogeneous applications are individual layers of different materials contained within a single bulk sampled, each of which must be analyzed individually to determine its asbestos content (e.g. vinyl floor tiles and mastic; cove base and mastic;

etc.). Table 1 lists all samples collected and analyzed in the current survey.

Please refer to the Table 1– Asbestos Material Sampling Table in Appendix A for a complete listing of all materials sampled. The laboratory analytical reports may be found in Appendix C for the current inspection.

3.1.3.3. Quantification Method Analysis

EPA regulations allow materials determined to contain less than 10 percent asbestos utilizing a visual estimate quantification method, such as PLM analysis, to be treated as non-asbestos containing if the material is re-analyzed using one of two quantification methods and determined to contain one percent or less of asbestos. The two acceptable quantification methods are point count analysis and TEM Chatfield analysis.

Quantification methods are more time-consuming and more expensive analytical procedures that are occasionally used to increased accuracy to determine the amount of asbestos in certain samples. Because of their higher cost and the acceptable accuracy of the less expensive visual estimation method, laboratories do not typically perform quantification analyses unless specifically requested.

The quantification method known as point count analysis is used for most ACM types, except floor tile. The organic matrix composition of floor tile precludes the use of point count analysis to increased accuracy to determine asbestos amounts within a sample. Therefore, TEM Chatfield analysis—which effectively removes all organic materials, leaving only asbestos behind—is necessary to provide a more precise percentage of asbestos content in floor tile.

Please refer to section 6.0 Recommendations, for recommendations concerning supplemental analysis.

3.2. Lead-Based Paint Inspection

The LBP inspection included visual identification of homogenous paint applications and laboratory analysis of the bulk paint samples collected. While the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban

Development (HUD) promulgates guidelines for LBP inspections in child occupied facilities, there are no formal guidelines for non-HUD regulated inspections. Thus, the LBP inspection was conducted in accordance with generally accepted industry standards and practices. Additional aspects of the inspection methodology are discussed below.

3.2.1. Key Definitions

3.2.1.1. Homogenous Paint Applications

Homogenous paint applications are significant paint applications that are visually distinct by their color and uniformity. Significant paint applications do not include incidental occurrences of paint such as isolated occurrences of accent trim, artistic paints, etc.

3.2.1.2. Lead-Based Paint (LBP)

Pursuant to Federal Register, Vol. 61, No. 169, LBP is defined as paint or other surface coatings equal to or greater than 0.5 percent lead by weight or equal to or greater than 1 mg/cm2.

3.2.2. Homogenous Paint Applications Numbering Convention

Homogenous paints and coatings are assigned a unique homogeneous material number (HM#).

The HM# is referenced throughout the report to uniquely identify each paint application.

3.2.3. Lead-based Paint and Lead Containing Materials Sampling

Sampling of suspected lead-based paint was conducted by collecting bulk paint samples for laboratory analysis. Flame Atomic Absorption analysis was conducted to determine the lead content. A total of 82 suspected lead-based paint samples collected and analyzed. Table 2 in

Appendix A lists all suspected lead-based paints sampled.

5. RISKS AND HAZARDS

5.1. Asbestos

To be a significant health concern, asbestos fibers must be inhaled. When asbestos fibers are inhaled, they become lodged in the lung tissue or alveoli. Here they clog and scar the tissues, causing the walls of the alveoli to lose their elasticity and useful function in respiration. Asbestosis (scarring of the lung), lung cancer, and Mesothelioma (cancer of the lining of the chest or lining of the abdominal wall) are diseases associated with asbestos exposure. Risks and hazards increase with increased exposure. ACM condition, proximity to building occupants, building use, and other factors can influence the potential for asbestos fibers to become airborne, and therefore increase exposure risks.

5.2. Lead-Based Paint

Inhalation and ingestion are the major routes of lead exposure. Once in the body, lead is distributed via the bloodstream to red blood cells, soft-tissue, and bone. The kidneys and gastrointestinal (GI) tract eliminate lead in the body very slowly, while minute amounts are lost through perspiration.

Lead in the body can cause serious damage to the central and peripheral nervous system, the cardiovascular system, and the kidneys. Exposure to high concentrations of lead can cause retardation, convulsions, coma, and sometimes death. Children are especially vulnerable and susceptible to lead poisoning. Even low levels of exposure persisting during childhood are known to slow a child’s normal development and cause learning and behavioral problems. Exposure to lead can result from deteriorating surfaces and activities mechanically impacting lead surfaces. Preventing exposure requires proper work practices, monitoring, disposal and personal protective equipment during demolition, alteration and friction producing activities.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS

The purpose of this section is to interpret survey findings and provide preliminary recommendations that may be relevant and appropriate at this time. Because this document is a presentation of investigative findings, recommendations related to future construction activities are inherently general in nature. More specific determinations concerning hazardous building materials to be impacted by construction should be made during the abatement project design process.

6.1. General Recommendations

6.1.1. Asbestos

State and/or federal regulations require that ACMs be removed prior to demolition or renovation activities that will impact the ACMs. Depending on the specific renovation work to be performed, certain ACMs may not require removal if they will not be disturbed and do not pose a risk to building occupants or construction trade workers. However, to ensure worker safety and to eliminate future asbestos-related maintenance and management costs and risks, AMIE recommends removal of all identified ACMs in the areas to be renovated. While partial abatement may be technically possible, it is often impractical and not cost-effective.

ACMs not impacted by renovation or demolition activities should be inspected annually and maintained in good condition. ACMs deemed to be in less than good condition (damaged or significantly damaged) should be repaired or removed and replaced. Such repairs should be performed by qualified persons and in accordance with regulatory guidelines.

6.1.2. Lead-Based Paint and Lead Containing Materials

Facility owners are ultimately liable for their lead-containing hazardous waste from cradle to grave. EPA regulations provide two ways to determine whether a waste stream, such as demolition debris containing LBP, must be classified as hazardous waste. Waste generators can either test the waste using an approved testing method (Toxicity Characteristic Leaching

Procedure [TCLP]), or they can apply knowledge of the hazardous characteristic of the waste.

Based on the initial lead paint testing results, AMIE recommends TCLP testing be conducted on the existing building materials, painted and unpainted, prior to the start of renovation or demolition activity. In addition, trade contractors who work in the facility should also be notified of the presence of lead so that they can appropriately monitor and protect their workers against lead exposure.

Any lead-based painted building components not removed during renovation should be considered for inclusion in a facility management plan that maintains potential exposure below

OSHA action levels and ensures the material will be handled properly and in accordance with applicable regulations.

6.2 Hazardous Conditions

No hazardous conditions were observed during the surveys.

6.3. Point Count Analysis / TEM Chatfield Analysis Recommendations

No samples were recommended for Point Count or TEM Chatfield Analysis.

7. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

7.1. Asbestos-Containing Materials

The removal and disposal of ACMs is regulated at the federal, state, and, sometimes, local level. Ohio and Kentucky have adopted the federal standards but have established licensing requirements and enforcement authority at the state level.

7.1.1. Notification Requirements

EPA’s NESHAP regulation, 40 CFR, Subpart M, 61.145, Standard for Demolition and

Renovation, stipulates that an owner of a facility submit proper notification with either the

EPA’s regional office and/or the state and local regulatory agency of intention to demolish or renovate. Notifications must be received by the appropriate regulatory agencies 10 working days prior to commencement of asbestos stripping or removal, or other site work. If the demolition or renovation date changes, or the scope of work is increased, another notification is required.

7.1.2. Asbestos Removal Requirements

Asbestos removal must be performed by a licensed abatement contractor. The contractor should follow all work practices, worker protection, and disposal requirements set forth in the contract specifications and by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the EPA. Key federal regulations concerning asbestos include 29 CFR 1910.1001, 29 CFR

1926.1101, 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M, and 40 CFR 763.

7.1.3. OSHA Regulation of ≤ 1 Percent Asbestos

While EPA does not regulate materials containing one percent or less asbestos, OSHA regulates materials containing any amount of asbestos. (Ref. OSHA Construction Industry

Standard, 29 CFR 1926.1101(a)(3))

7.1.4. Asbestos Removal Regulations

The States of Ohio and Kentucky have adopted the EPA NESHAP regulations for asbestos removal and requires asbestos removal contractors to be licensed with the state. Asbestos

Containing Building Material (ACBM) should only be removed by licensed and accredited contractors in the State.

7.2. Lead Waste

7.2.1. Disposal Requirements

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) classifies lead-containing waste streams as hazardous materials if TCLP levels exceed five parts per million. If TCLP leachable lead levels exceed that threshold, EPA regulations (40 CFR 261) require the waste stream to be handled and disposed of as a hazardous waste. Waste streams containing less than five parts per million of leachable lead are classified as non-hazardous waste and can be disposed of in a construction and demolition landfill.

7.2.2. Construction Requirements

OSHA’s 29 CFR 1926.62 regulates worker exposure to lead during construction activities that include demolition or salvage of structures where lead or materials containing lead are present, as well as removal or encapsulation of lead-containing materials. The standard establishes maximum limits of exposure to lead, including a permissible exposure limit and action level, and should be adhered to during construction and demolition activities
