1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Professional Service Industries (PSI), Inc., was retained by Historic Preservation Training Center to conduct a survey for asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in the Lippencott Cottage, located at Cottage Lane St. Michael, Pennsylvania.

The subject building is an 8,860-sq. ft.,3-story, with basement historical residential structure that was constructed in the 1890’s and is part of the Johnstown Flood National Museum. The subject structure was unoccupied during the inspection.

The purpose of the investigation and sampling was to provide information regarding the presence, condition, and estimated quantity of accessible ACMs located at the facility prior to its planned renovation. Roof Systems were included in the scope of this survey.

The asbestos inspection and sampling was conducted on May 15, 2018. A total of 38 samples were collected from 15 suspect asbestos-containing homogeneous materials during the survey. The samples were analyzed by polarized light microscopy (PLM).

The following six (6) ACMs (>1% asbestos) were identified during this investigation:

• (C-01) Exterior Window Caulking – All Windows

• (C-02) Exterior Window Glazing – All Windows

• (C-04) Boiler and Duct Seam Tape – In Basement on Duct Work and Residual on Boiler

• (C-07) Debris/Wall Insulation – Inside Wall on either side of windows and debris located on floors throughout

• (C-08) 12” x 12” Red Brick Patter Floor Tile – Kitchen

• (C-13) Roof Flashing – All Porch Roofs

In addition, the following materials were not sampled due to inaccessibility, safety concerns, or in order to avoid compromising their integrity, and are assumed to be ACM:

• None

The identified or assumed ACMs were observed to be in damaged and significantly damaged condition at the time of the field investigation. The duct seam tape and debris/wall insulation were in significantly damaged condition. The seam tape can be found throughout the basement sitting on top of soil and mixed with other debris. The wall insulation is pieces of insulation packed inside the wall. In certain areas where the plaster wall is damaged there is debris of the insulation found throughout the house. These materials need to be addressed prior to any upcoming renovations.

ACMs should be maintained in a good non-damaged condition through use of an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) program. Regulated ACM (RACM) must be properly removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to renovations or demolition that would disturb the material.

Federal, State and Local regulations and guidelines should be strictly adhered to when removing the ACM.

In many areas, EPA Category I & II non-friable ACMs in good condition do not need to be removed prior to demolition. However, if demolition practices will cause these materials to be cut, sanded, ground or abraded, or otherwise made friable, they should be treated as RACM and removed prior to demolition. If non-friable ACM’s are not removed prior to demolition, the generated debris cannot be recycled, burned or used as clean-fill.

In addition, prior to any future maintenance, renovation or demolition activities, any assumed ACMs should be tested, and any areas noted as inaccessible during this project, or any concealed areas, such as behind walls, where suspect ACMs are discovered, will require a survey for ACM.

The following materials were point counted and determined to contain ≤1% asbestos; therefore they are not considered to be ACM by EPA or OSHA.

• (C-15) Roof Tar – Main Roof

These materials are unregulated by EPA, and are considered unclassified asbestos work per OSHA. Some OSHA work control practices and prohibitions will still apply, with the extent depending on whether the worker's exposure to airborne asbestos exceeds the OSHA PEL during the renovation/demolition process.

This summary does not contain all the information presented in the full report. The report should be read in its entirety to obtain a more complete understanding of the information provided and to aid in any decisions made or actions taken based on this information.

2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 SCOPE OF SERVICES

The scope of services for this project consisted of conducting an asbestos survey, including inspection, sampling and analysis of all accessible and exposed interior and exterior areas at the subject facility, including the roof.

The investigation included a review of client-provided records or documents (if available), visual inspection of the subject area(s), sample collection, polarized light microscopy (PLM) sample analysis, quantification of ACMs, and report preparation & review.

2.2 PURPOSE

The purpose of this survey was to provide general information for the subject building(s) regarding the presence, condition, and quantity of accessible and/or exposed friable and non-friable, building materials that contain asbestos.

2.3 AUTHORIZATION

Email authorization to perform this work was given on April 30, 2018 by Mark Andros, Exhibits Specialist, Historic Preservation Training Center. The project was conducted in accordance with the scope, terms and conditions of PSI Proposal No. 08163361, dated April 12, 2018.

2.4 LIMITATIONS

This asbestos survey was intended to meet the requirements of the National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Asbestos demolition or renovation. The survey included a thorough inspection of all areas of planned renovation.

Roof Systems were included in the scope of this survey.

Destructive sampling, such as behind finished surfaces (plaster/drywall walls, above hard ceilings, etc.), inside mechanical chases, behind mirrored walls, etc., was not generally conducted to assess inaccessible or concealed materials.

PSI did not sample any system which presented a hazard to the inspection team such as energized electrical systems or within confined spaces.

PSI did not collect samples from building elements where the intended use would be compromised by testing, such as fire rated doors, vapor barriers, mirror mastics, etc.

2.5 WARRANTY

The field and laboratory results reported herein are considered sufficient in detail and scope to determine the presence of accessible and/or exposed suspect ACM for the building structure.

Professional Service Industries (PSI), Inc., warrants that the findings contained herein have been prepared in general accordance with accepted professional practices at the time of its preparation as applied by professionals in the community. Changes in the state of the art or in applicable regulations cannot be anticipated and have not been addressed in this report.

The survey and analytical methods have been used to provide the client with information regarding the presence of accessible and/or exposed suspect ACM existing at the time of the inspection. Test results are valid only for the material(s) tested. There is a distinct possibility that conditions may exist which could not be identified within the scope of the study or which were not apparent during the site visit. This inspection covered only those areas that were exposed and/or physically accessible to the Inspector.

Escort: Mark Andros

4 METHODOLOGY

Inspection and sampling procedures were performed in general accordance with the guidelines published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The inspection and survey described below was performed by an EPA accredited and State of Pennsylvania inspector.

4.1 RECORD DOCUMENT REVIEW

Prior to conducting the visual inspection, PSI reviewed documents provided by the client, including: drawings, floor plans, historical data, maintenance records, previous survey reports, laboratory reports, etc. for information regarding construction history and building materials.

The following documents were reviewed as a part of this Asbestos Survey:

• Existing Conditions for the Moorhead Cottage, Page 21-30, Landmarks Design Associates Architects, November 30, 1992

This data was used to focus the walk through and scope of work to be followed over the course of our visual inspection and sampling. Information obtained from the references is included in the findings section of the report.

4.2 VISUAL INSPECTION PROCEDURES

An initial individual building structure walkthrough was conducted to determine the presence of suspect asbestos-containing materials that were accessible and/or exposed. Exterior areas, including the roof systems, were included in the scope of this investigation.

The inspection and sampling was limited to those areas and materials that were accessible and did not involve destruction of walls, other building elements, physical barriers, or the structural integrity of the item being tested.

Materials which were similar in color, texture, general appearance and which appear to have been installed at the same time were grouped in Homogeneous Sampling Areas. Such materials are termed "homogeneous materials" by the EPA. During this walkthrough, the approximate locations of these homogeneous materials were also noted.

The inspector evaluated the overall condition of the material and determined whether the materials were friable or non-friable by touching the material, where practical. A friable material is defined as any material able to be crushed, crumbled, pulverized or reduced to a powder by hand press when dry.

Each material was further assessed for overall condition. Conditions were rated as good, damaged or significantly damaged. PSI’s inspector also identified the EPA classification of the material:

Regulated ACM (RACM), Category I non-friable ACM, and Category II non-friable ACM, based on the materials current condition. PSI’s inspector provided estimated quantities of the materials identified as ACM, based only on materials that were accessible and exposed.

4.3 ASBESTOS SAMPLING PROCEDURES

Following the walkthrough, the Inspector collected samples of suspect materials.

EPA guidelines were used to determine the sampling protocol. Sampling locations were chosen to be representative of the homogeneous sampling area. While an effort was made to collect samples randomly, samples were taken preferentially from areas already damaged or areas which were the least visible to minimize disturbance of the material.

Each sample location was sprayed with amended water and was kept wet during the entire sampling process. Samples were collected by coring through the material from the surface down to the base substrate. All layers of the material were extracted in placed into a sample container for transport to the laboratory. Sample containers were sealed and labeled with a unique sample identification number. Where appropriate, sampled materials were sealed with an encapsulant or covered with tape after sampling. PSI is not responsible for restoring the sampled areas to their presampled condition.

In accordance with the agreement between PSI and the client, roofing materials were sampled as part of this survey.

In accordance with the agreement between PSI and the client, roofing materials were sampled by coring through the roof system to the base deck material. PSI did not apply temporary patches to the roof core location following sample collection due to the condition of the roof. Front porch sample location roof is being demolished and house roof sample was taken from a fallen patch of singles.

4.4 ASBESTOS ANALYSIS PROCEDURES

All samples were analyzed at Professional Service Industries, Inc. located at 850 Poplar Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15220. The PSI Pittsburgh Asbestos Laboratory is a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) Accredited (#101350-0) and an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) Accredited (#8222) Laboratory. A copy of the Laboratory’s Accreditation Certificate is included in Appendix E.

The samples were analyzed for asbestos on a “positive-stop” basis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) in accordance with the “EPA Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials” (EPA/600/R-93/116 July 1993). Analysis was performed by using bulk samples for visual observation and slide preparation(s) for microscopic examination and identification. The samples were mounted on slides and then analyzed for asbestos (chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, anthophyllite, actinolite/tremolite), and fibrous non-asbestos constituents (mineral wool, fiberglass, cellulose, etc.). Asbestos was identified by refractive indices, morphology, color, pleochroism, birefringence, extinction characteristics, and signs of elongation. The same characteristics were used to identify the non-asbestos constituents.

The microscopist visually estimated relative amounts of each constituent by determining the volume of each constituent in proportion to the total volume of the sample, using a stereoscope.

The EPA method allows samples which are visually determined to have 10% or less asbestos to be quantified using a Point Count procedure. An ocular reticule (cross hair or point array) is used to visually superimpose a point or points on the microscope field of view. A total of 400 points superimposed on either asbestos fibers or nonasbestos matrix material must be counted over at least eight different preparations of representative subsamples. If an asbestos fiber and matrix particle overlap so that a point is superimposed on their visual intersection, a point is scored for both categories. Point counting provides a quantification of the area percent asbestos. Two (2) samples were point counted for this survey.

5 FINDINGS

5.1 ASBESTOS RESULTS

A total of 38 samples were collected from 15 suspect homogenous materials during the asbestos survey. In addition, no suspect homogeneous materials were assumed to contain asbestos.

The “Report of Bulk Sample Analysis for Asbestos”, the “Asbestos Bulk Sample Log”, Sample Location diagram and Photographs are included in the Appendices. The Tables on the following pages list the suspect asbestos-containing materials observed throughout the building. Table 1 lists the materials that were sampled, along with the results of the inspection and laboratory analysis.

Both tables give a description of the materials, their general locations, condition, friability, EPA

NESHAP Category, and estimated quantity, and an estimated cost estimate for abatement.

Inaccessible Areas

The following areas were inaccessible during the survey and therefore were not included in the scope of the survey.

• None

These areas will require an asbestos inspection prior to any demolition or renovation activities within the areas.

Non-Suspect Materials

The following materials were observed but are considered ‘non-suspect’ ACM due to their composition (fiberglass, rubber, etc.) and were not sampled.

• 2’ x 4’ Fiberglass Ceiling Tile – 2nd Floor bedrooms

Regulatory Guidelines

ACM Definition - The EPA & OSHA consider a material to be asbestos-containing if at least one sample from the homogeneous area shows asbestos in an amount greater than 1%.

Point Count Quantification - If a material is found to contain 10% or less asbestos via visual estimation, it can be treated as non asbestos-containing per EPA Regulations, if verified to contain 1% or less asbestos by the Point Count Quantification Procedure. If not point counted, a sample in which asbestos was visually detected and estimated (including trace to ≤1%) must be assumed to be greater than 1% and treated as ACM. Please refer to the laboratory analyses for a more detailed description of the microscopic analysis of individual samples. Two (2) samples were quantified by the Point Count Procedure in this Asbestos Survey.

EPA NESHAP Category - EPA classifies ACM into several categories. A regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) as defined by the Asbestos National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) is any (a) Friable asbestos material, (b) Category I non-friable ACM that has becomes friable, (c) Category I non- friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or (d) Category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations. A Category I Non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient floor covering, and asphalt roofing products which contain more than one percent asbestos. A Category II Non-friable ACM includes any material, except for a Category I non-friable ACM, which contains more than one-percent asbestos and cannot be reduced to a powder by hand pressure when dry.

The Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) regulates all asbestos containing materials in quantiles greater than 160 square feet (sf) as RACM; therefore, all ACMs with quantiles greater than 160 sf and all friable materials in any amount must be removed prior to demolition or impacting renovations. Federal, State and Local regulations and guidelines should be strictly adhered to when removing the ACM.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires all suspect materials to be analyzed by layer, even materials such as drywall/joint compound, which may sometimes be composited per the EPA. If any layer contains asbestos in a concentration >1%, the material is considered an ACM.

OSHA has a classification system (I thru IV) for ACM depending on the type of material and the disturbance. Briefly, ‘Class I’ work is defined as activities involving the removal of ACM or presumed ACM (PACM) that is thermal system insulation (TSI) and surfacing materials. ‘Class II’ activities involve removal of ACM/PACM other than TSI or surfacing material. ‘Class III’ work includes repair and maintenance operations which are likely to disturb ACM/PACM, and ‘Class IV’ work includes maintenance and custodial activities during which employees contact but do not disturb ACM/PACM.

Materials where asbestos is detected, but where point counting is conducted and determined that the concentration is ≤1% asbestos, are not considered to be ACM by OSHA. However, these materials are considered unclassified asbestos work per OSHA. Some OSHA work control practices and prohibitions will still apply, with the extent depending on whether the worker's exposure to airborne asbestos exceeds the OSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL).

Additional details of the OSHA asbestos regulations related to the construction industry can be found in 29 CFR part 1926.1101.

Quantification

Quantification of suspect asbestos-containing materials was conducted using visual estimation by a licensed asbestos inspector. This visual estimation was performed in accordance with generally accepted practices in the asbestos industry based on materials that were accessible and exposed. These values are sufficiently accurate for the purpose of documenting the presence of asbestos within its space for the purpose of identifying abatement control conditions or for general policy considerations. Actual quantities may differ between visually estimated values and physical measurements. If a licensed asbestos abatement contractor is engaged to remove asbestos containing materials, the abatement contractor is responsible for verifying reported quantities of ACM.

Abatement Cost Estimation

PSI used recognized standard engineering principles in developing the unit cost budgetary estimate for removal of the listed asbestos-containing materials (ACM) contained in this facility.

This is an estimate for removal only, intended for general policy decisions regarding program development and planning. The figures are as of the date of the report and cover only the removal contractor's fees. Not included are items such as indirect or hidden costs, such as employee relocation during the project, lost revenues, replacement costs, project design or monitoring, etc.

These items are considered during the development of an engineering cost estimate, which is beyond the scope of this study. Other variables included in an engineering cost estimate are the project schedule and phasing, size of the project, and other factors that can affect project cost.

6 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

6.1 CONCLUSIONS

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were found in the Lippencott Cottage.

Assumed ACMs were not found in the Lipencott cottage.

Materials with low concentrations of asbestos (trace to 1%) were identified in the subject facility(s).

The identified or assumed ACMs were observed to be in damaged and significantly damaged condition at the time of the field investigation. The duct seam tape and debris/wall insulation were in significantly damaged condition. The seam tape can be found throughout the basement sitting on top of soil and mixed with other debris. The wall insulation is pieces of insulation packed inside the wall. In certain areas where the plaster wall is damaged there is debris of the insulation found throughout the house. These materials need to be addressed prior to any upcoming renovations.

6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

ACMs should be maintained in a good non-damaged condition and periodically inspected through use of an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) program. Damaged or significantly damaged ACMs should be repaired, encapsulated, enclosed or removed. The duct seam tape found on the ground in the basement is assumed to be mixed in with the top part of the soil. It is recommended that the top 1” of the soil be remediated along with the debris located on the ground.

Regulated ACM (RACM) must be properly removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to renovations or demolition that would disturb the material. Federal, State and Local regulations and guidelines should be strictly adhered to when removing the ACM.

Category I & II Non-Friable asbestos containing material may often be left in place during demolition if not made friable by cutting, grinding or sanding. If left in place, these materials cannot be recycled, burned or used as clean fill.

Materials verified to contain low concentrations of asbestos (trace to 1%) are not considered ACM, and are not regulated by the EPA; however, some OSHA regulations will still apply based on the employee’s airborne exposure.

Prior to the initiation of a project that would involve abatement, a detailed engineering cost estimate and project design is recommended. The engineering cost estimate will incorporate such variables as scheduling and phasing of the project, the size and extent of the project, seasonal factors, operational factors and other restrictions, respiratory protection, alternate abatement options, and type of replacement material. An engineering cost estimate would also include professional fees, such as for project design and management, and other expenses, such as on-site air monitoring and construction supervision.

Quantitation is based on a visual estimation of the relative area of bulk sample components, unless otherwise noted in the "Comments" section of this report. The results are valid only for the item tested. This report may not be used to claim product endorsement by NVLAP or any agency of the U.S. Government. Method used: E.P.A.

Interim Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples (EPA 600/M4-82-020). Polarized Light Microscopy is not consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in floor coverings and similar non-friable organically bound materials. Quantitative Transmission Electron Microscopy is currently the only method that can be used to determine if the material can be considered or treated as non-asbestos containing. Samples will be disposed of within 30 days unless notified in writing by the client. No part of this report may reproduced, except in full, without written permission of the laboratory. The reporting limit is 1% by weight. NVLAP Lab Code 101350-0.
