PROJECT NUMBER 657-21-701JB
PROJECT NAME JBVAMC EHRM Infrastructure Upgrade Project SUBMITTAL 100% Construction Documents
SUBJECT Environmental Design Narrative
Project Overview and Background
Riverfront Safety & Health, LC (Riverfront), a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, is currently performing a limited asbestos & lead identification field survey in support of 100% Construction Documents for the EHRM Infrastructure Upgrades project (VA Project 657-21-701JB) proposed at Jefferson Barracks VA Medical Center (JBVAMC), St. Louis, MO (The Project). The current limited asbestos and lead survey is being performed using project scope of work documents and provided drawings as a basis for proposed work and areas.
Currently, RSH understands the scope of work may impact the following related systems and materials as project needs will vary at each of the 20 buildings:
The following rooms/buildings are within the scope of this project:
Building 1 C102D, 1E15, 2C10, E303, 3C14,1W01, W315, GC11/GC12 Building 2 G03, 111, 209, 308 Building 3 B025, 117, 128, 224 Building 3T 118 Building 18 11, 119, 213, 312 Building 23 G09, 121 Building 24 G02A, 114B, 205A Building 25 115, 116, 117A, 204B, 205, 312, 313A Building 51 BE111, 1A102, 1A183, 1A139/1A137A Building 51T 109 Building 52 GN29, 1N82, 1S33, 2N91, 2S53 Building 53 GGS10, Pipe Chase Z005, 1S02, 1S11, 2S001 Building 53T 109 Building 55 1A129, 1B104, 1C132, 2A136, 2C144, 3A120, 3C149 Building 56 BA105, 1A109, 2A122, 3A122 Building 57 1B120, 1B139 Building 58 104, 149 Building 60 102, 101A Building 60T 108 Building 75 1B105
Asbestos and lead drawings from 2018-2019 Campus Survey performed by RSH are being used as a base line for inspection of The Project. The limited project specific asbestos and lead survey is being performed by Charles Davis, Blaine Gravagna and Aaron Campbell. All workers are accredited under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Model Accreditation Program for Asbestos Building Inspectors and Mr. Davis is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) trained Lead Risk Assessor. All work is being performed under the direct supervision of a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH), Mr. Justin R. Rhyneer to ensure standard EPA-NESHAP/AHERA/OSHA field inspection and sampling methods are employed for representative project inspection. Principal contacts for this project are Kyle Florian of the VA Medical Center and Richard McPhee from Spees DB.
Access to known work areas was provided during regular hospital hours.
Based on the age of the facility and potential methodology of contract work, anticipated suspect materials included caulks, duct seam sealants, black tar, asbestos fire doors, asbestos pipe insulation, asbestos floor tiles, asbestos black tile mastic, structural caulks, various adhesives, various forms of thermal system insulation, exterior surfacing materials, transite panels, etc. and potential Lead Based Paint (LBP) on structural concrete, plaster walls, plaster ceilings, doors/door frames, glaze and ceramic blocks and original structural steel components.
The following generalized analysis is provided for your review and future design considerations related to potential asbestos, lead, and mold issues associated with The Project.
Mold impacted building materials is most likely a highly localized condition for The Project, if any.
The known project work locations are not generally the types of locations where this issue presents, and a history of moisture sources such as roof or pipe system leaks are not known at this time. Nevertheless, areas will be visually inspected for suspected visible mold growth conditions on building materials located within or near the projected pathways of work, with confirmatory sampling to be performed on an as needed basis.
As a general course of action, reuse of existing wall penetrations and pathways for cabling are recommended. Areas within chases and exterior wall voids are normally suspect for asbestos containing materials. Where plaster ceilings are present, it is generally assumed, asbestos pipe insulation and/or mudded fittings associated with domestic water, chilled water, or perimeter heat systems will be present above plaster ceilings.
This project has potential for widely dispersed locations of material impact as the grounding system, possible inter and intrabuilding fibers line installations, and wall installation of Cat6A data ports will travel significant distances. It is important to develop or define pathways of associated works to allow for a targeted material inspection. The precise extent of demolition is currently under development as related to fiber cables, Cat 6A, and pull/patch. Methods or design initiatives to minimize disturbance of paints on walls should be considered.
Asbestos flooring materials and associated flooring mastics/adhesives may be present within TR Rooms scheduled to receive new vertical penetrations (if any). The presence of these materials requires assessment for potential abatement and is necessary for penetration of all flooring systems.
Asbestos pipe insulation and associated asbestos mudded fittings may be present in the corridors where cabling may be routed. The condition of these materials, where present above ceiling grids, has been confirmed through existing VA Six Month Asbestos Condition Assessment Records as being in good/intact condition (see Appendix B), which poses little risk to workers as long as they do not disturb the material in question. Aspects of this design project involving above-ceiling cable routing or similar tasks bring workers into close proximity to asbestos pipe insulation materials have been made with the assumption that asbestos piping is currently in good overall condition unless otherwise noted or observed by others. However, damage to a specific section of pipe insulation can occur at any given time for any number of reasons. As such, observation of damaged pipe insulation that is suspected or known to contain asbestos should be brought to the attention of the VA COR immediately for advisement, as this condition presents risks to workers and/or building occupants and is not considered a scope item. Should damaged pipe insulation conditions be encountered, appropriate remediation response actions may be necessary to allow for the safe removal of ceiling tiles and/or installation of new infrastructure during execution of
The Project. Please see Appendix B for VA provided six-month periodic surveillance documents.
Historic asbestos reports have been furnished for all Buildings impacted by The Project. Where ages of buildings are provided and are of post 1978 construction (EPA ban of lead-based paint use), a more accurate estimate of potential lead issues may be interpreted. Federal and State standards require a limited asbestos inspection survey for all building prior to renovation or demolition without regard to age.
The potential for damaged asbestos TSI and associated fittings may exist above acoustical ceiling grids or plaster ceilings throughout the buildings and may be of issue related to long distance routing of the communication system through corridors and within peripheral office/exam room spaces. Areas above ceilings will require visual inspection for current conditions above ceiling tiles or where plaster ceilings are demolished. Areas within TR rooms will require visually inspection.
Where new building penetrations are necessary for interbuilding fiber lines, asbestos containing stucco and lead based paint is normally present on the exterior of early to mid-century buildings and lead based paint on the interior foundation walls. All exterior stucco is an asbestos containing material and associated caulks will be considered suspect asbestos containing until otherwise confirmed.
Attachments to ceiling, where not otherwise suspended from existing trays or bundles, requires knowledge of lead content of paint where present. Previous lead inspection records indicate a targeted approach, leaving a number of suspect building surfaces in need of further evaluation to accommodate needs of The Project.
The VA provided six-month periodic surveillance forms for Condition Assessments associated with buildings impacted by The Project. These documents serve as the basis for campus-wide conditions of asbestos pipe insulation, floor tile, floor tile mastic, asbestos caulking, and other materials likely to be impacted by The Project. Please see Appendix B for VA provided six-month periodic surveillance documents.
This report summarizes the asbestos and lead-related issues identified for this project. The sampling results have been summarized in Tables 1 and 2 with the laboratory analytical reports.
Scope of Work
Riverfront provided inspection personnel accredited under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Model Accreditation Program for Asbestos Building Inspectors to perform the following:
- Verify the presence, location, quantity, appearance, and condition of all applicable building materials exhibiting asbestos, lead and mold containing materials within areas of scheduled work at the Jefferson Barracks VA Medical Center in St. Louis, MO identified by the VA as likely to be impacted during future EHRM Infrastructure Upgrade Project. Standard EPA/AHERA/OSHA requirements and field sampling methods were employed to ensure representative sample collection.
Asbestos Containing Materials Inspection Results
Currently, Riverfront personnel collected a total of 909 (1,214 layers) representative samples of suspected asbestos-containing materials related to EHRM Infrastructure Upgrade Project. All samples were transferred via written chain-of-custody, to EMSL, an AIHA & NVLAP accredited laboratory, for analysis.
The suspect materials, which were similar in general appearance and age of construction, were grouped into homogeneous material sets and sampled. A minimum of three samples were collected of all suspect asbestos containing building materials found during the site visit based on conditions noted on December 29, 2021- January 14, 2022, March 11, 2022, and March 14, 2022. Practical precautions were used in collecting samples to ensure safety of all personnel. All samples were safely collected, placed in sealed containers, and transferred with a written chain-of-custody, to EMSL, an AIHA & NVLAP accredited laboratory, for analysis. All samples were analyzed using polarized light microscopy (PLM) analysis with dispersion staining (DS) according to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Method 600 IR-93/116 which is presently recommended by the EPA. Asbestos Containing Materials are defined by EPA as having greater than 1% asbestos as measured by PLM methods.
