1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI), an Intertek company, was retained by PDG Architects to conduct a survey for asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint and hazardous materials at the Bywater Warehouse Facility located at 38 Poland Avenue in New Orleans, Louisiana (subject property). The subject property is an office building located within a larger warehouse building located on the batture side of the Mississippi River levee located at the south end of Poland Avenue. The subject property is located in the northeast corner of the larger warehouse building. PSI conducted the survey on May 11, 2022.

The purpose of the investigation and sampling was to provide information regarding the presence, condition, and estimated quantity of accessible ACM, lead-based paint and hazardous materials on and within the Bywater Warehouse Facility. Roof systems were not included in the scope of this survey.

ACM Survey Summary Suspect asbestos-containing homogeneous materials sampled during the survey were analyzed by polarized light microscopy (PLM). The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and State of Louisiana define an ACM as any material containing greater than one percent (>1%) asbestos.

ACMs (>1%) were identified through PLM analysis during this investigation.

LBP Survey Summary In 1978, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the sale of lead-based paint to consumers, and its application to areas where consumers have direct access to painted surfaces. As a result of this ban, buildings painted prior to 1978 are suspected of containing leaded paint. The EPA and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) define LBP as any coating having 1.0 mg/cm2 or greater lead when tested by an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) device, or 0.5% lead by weight or 5,000 parts per million (ppm) by laboratory analysis.

Sixteen (16) paint chip samples were collected on May 11, 2022. Each of the paint chip samples contained detectable levels of lead and nine (9) of the paint chip samples contained lead above the standard of 0.5% by weight and are considered to be lead-based paint.

Other Hazardous Materials Summary The EPA banned certain uses of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (i.e., plasticizers, adhesives, paints and waterproofing) in 1973 and banned U.S. PCB production in 1979; however, PCBs may still be present in older transformers, capacitors, and light ballasts. PCBs may also be present in adhesives, glazing, or caulking.

Two (2) window caulking samples were collected and analyzed for PCB content. Both of the samples contained concentrations of PCBs above the laboratory reporting limits ,but were below 50 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg or parts per million).

PSI also performed a visual survey for potential mercury containing light bulbs and thermostatic switches, petroleum tanks/drums/containers, hydraulic oils, halon fire extinguishers, and chlor-fluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants. Some of these materials were identified during the visual survey

2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 SCOPE OF SERVICES

The scope of services for this project consisted of conducting an asbestos, lead paint, and hazardous materials survey, including inspection, sampling and analysis of accessible and exposed interior and exterior areas at the subject property, excluding the roof.

Asbestos Survey This survey was intended to identify ACM as required by the EPA National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), OSHA, and the State of Louisiana. Additional information relative to friability, quantity and condition is also provided to assist the owner or his representative in the appropriate decisions involved with renovation and demolition. Regulations pertaining to asbestos renovation and demolition surveys include 40 CFR Part 61 (NESHAP), 29 CFR 1926.1101 (Asbestos in Construction) and applicable State of Louisiana regulations.

Limited Lead Paint Survey This survey was intended to screen for LBP using methodologies in general accordance with the EPA, OSHA and the HUD Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing (2012 Edition).

Other Select building Hazardous Materials This survey was intended to identify the following additional environmental considerations:

• Deteriorated paint

• Mercury switches

• Mercury lights

• PCBs in Transformers and light ballasts

• PCBs in window caulking or glazing

• Hydraulic fluids

• Petroleum tanks/drums

• Halon fire extinguishers

• CFC refrigerants

2.2 PURPOSE

The purpose of this survey was to provide general information for the subject building regarding the presence, condition, and quantity of accessible and/or exposed friable and non-friable, materials that contain asbestos, lead-based paint, and other select hazardous materials.

2.3 AUTHORIZATION

Authorization to perform the inspection was given by PSI’s receipt of a signed copy of PSI Proposal Number 0259-371676, between PDG Architects and PSI.

Site access was granted by Raluca Zamfir of PDG Architects (the Client). An escort at the warehouse building in which the area to be renovated was located was provided by the Client.

2.4 LIMITATIONS

The asbestos survey was intended to meet the requirements of the EPA NESHAP for Asbestos demolition or renovation. The limited lead paint survey was not intended to meet the requirements of the EPA, OSHA or HUD requirements for demolition or renovation. The asbestos survey included a thorough inspection of all areas of planned renovation.

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 penetration of the roofing system.

Inaccessible is defined as areas of the building that were locked, or where admittance was not permitted. It also includes areas/materials that could not be tested (sampled) without destruction of the structure or a portion of the structure, and areas/materials that could not be safely reached by the inspector or inspection team. If access to a portion of the building was not obtained (which otherwise would have been tested), such limitations specifically are identified in the Findings Section of this report.

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. PSI 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. The study is also limited to the information available from the client at the time it was conducted.

As directed by the client, PSI did not provide any service to investigate or detect the presence of moisture, mold or other biological contaminants in or around any structure, or any service that was designed or intended to prevent or lower the risk of the occurrence of the amplification of the same. Client acknowledges that mold is ubiquitous to the environment with mold amplification occurring when building materials are impacted by moisture. Client further acknowledges that site conditions are outside of PSI’s control, and that mold amplification will likely occur, or continue to occur, in the presence of moisture. As such, PSI cannot and shall not be held responsible for the occurrence or recurrence of mold amplification.

No other warrantees are implied or expressed.

4 METHODOLOGY

Inspection, survey and sampling procedures were performed in general accordance with the guidelines published by the EPA, OSHA and/or HUD where applicable. The inspection and survey described below was performed by an EPA accredited inspector who is licensed or certified in the State of Louisiana, as appropriate.

4.1 RECORD DOCUMENT REVIEW

Prior to conducting the visual inspection, PSI was to review documents, if 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.

4.2 VISUAL INSPECTION PROCEDURES

ACM Survey An initial building structure walkthrough was conducted to determine the presence of suspect ACM’s that were accessible and/or exposed. Exterior areas, excluding, the roof systems were included in the scope of this investigation.

The inspection and sampling were 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 pressure 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 NESHAP 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.

Limited LBP Survey An initial visual inspection was conducted of exterior accessible building surfaces for the presence of paints and varnishes suspected of containing lead. Based on observations, representative-building components such as windows and frames, doors and frames, columns, walls, and ceilings with homogeneous suspect paint were randomly selected for paint chip sampling.

Select Hazardous Materials Survey PSI also performed a visual inventory of select hazardous materials that included: mercury switches, mercury lights, PCB transformers, PCB window caulking, and equipment containing hydraulic fluids. These “other” hazardous materials were limited to those materials that are attached to the structure. Except for the collection of window caulking or glazing for analysis of PCBs, PSI did not conduct testing on these potential materials to confirm the presence of PCBs in ballasts, mercury, or other hazardous material; thus, their actual presence in the building materials is only suspected. PSI did not inventory unattached/loose items, such as paint containers, drums, old batteries, etc., as these are typically removed by the owner before renovation/razing activities.

4.3 SAMPLING PROCEDURES

ACM Survey 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 and 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 pre-sampled condition. In accordance with the agreement between PSI and the client, roofing materials were not sampled as part of this survey.

Limited LBP Survey For paint chip samples, an area of approximately two (2) square inches was extracted from coated components down to but not including the substrate. Chip samples were placed in a sealed container, and labeled for analysis. Restoration and repainting of sampled surfaces was not within the scope of PSI’s lead inspection protocol.

Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB’s) PSI personnel conducted a survey to identify the presence of window systems with caulking or glazing that may contain PCBs. An estimate of the window systems was documented and samples of caulking was collected and submitted for laboratory analysis for PCB content.

PSI personnel also conducted a survey to assess the presence and locations of PCB-containing light ballasts and transformers. A representative sample of ballasts were inspected for indications of PCB content. If the ballast has no label, it was assumed as PCB containing.

4.4 ANALYSIS PROCEDURES

Asbestos Samples All samples were analyzed at PSI’s Asbestos Laboratory 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 the Appendix.

The samples were analyzed for asbestos on a “positive-stop” basis by PLM and 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 visually observing the bulk samples with a stereoscope followed by slide preparation(s) for microscopic examination and identification.

Using a stereoscope, 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. Next, the samples were mounted on slides and analyzed by PLM 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.

It should be noted that some ACM might not be accurately identified or quantified by PLM. As an example, the original fabrication of vinyl floor tiles routinely involved milling of asbestos fibers to extremely small sizes. As a result, these fibers may go undetected under the standard PLM method. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) can be used for a more definitive analysis of these materials but was not in the scope of work.

Laboratory Quality Control Program - Asbestos The PSI Asbestos Laboratory maintains an in-house quality control program. This program involves blind reanalysis of ten (10) percent of all samples, precision and accuracy controls, and use of standard bulk reference materials. In addition, the PSI Asbestos Laboratory is accredited by NVLAP, which also has quality control procedures inherent in its program.

Limited LBP Survey The paint chip samples were analyzed by flame Atomic Absorption (AA) in accordance with method EPA SW- 846 7000B/3050B. The analysis was performed by International Asbestos Testing Laboratories (iATL) American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA), Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (ELLAP) accredited laboratory (AIHA #100188) in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey.

PCB Samples Two (2) samples of window caulking were collected and were analyzed at Pace Analytical located in St. Rose, Louisiana. A copy of the Laboratory’s Accreditation Certificate is included in the Appendix.

Limited LBP Survey The current Regulatory Standards for the definition of a LBP is the “Federal Action Level” from the EPA and HUD’s “Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing”, 2012 Edition. The “Federal Action Level” for a paint chip is 0.5% lead by weight.

Building components were identified to be surfaced with paint containing lead in excess of the standard, 0.5% lead by weight as established by the EPA and the HUD guidelines. A total of sixteen (16) paint chip samples were collected from various components inside and outside the building. Nine (9) of the samples indicated lead concentrations equal to or in excess of 0.5% lead by weight, however, detectable levels of lead were found in each of the samples.

The “Analytical Report – Analysis of Paint for Lead Determination,” and the Sample Chain-of-Custody are included in the Appendices. Table 2 gives a description of the painted components, their general locations, and laboratory analysis.

5.1.1 INACCESSIBLE AREAS

PSI was not able to access the Storage Room on the subject property, which was locked. The area was approximately 100 square feet in area.

5.1.2 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.

• Rubber/foam pipe insulation, and

• fiberglass roll/batt insulation.

5.1.3 REGULATORY GUIDELINES:

Asbestos

ACM Definition –

The EPA and OSHA consider a material to be ACM 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 less than 10% asbestos via visual estimation, it can be treated as non-ACM 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. No samples were quantified by the Point Count Procedure in this Asbestos Survey.

EPA NESHAP Category –

EPA NESHAP classifies ACM into the following categories:

• RACM is any (a) Friable asbestos material, (b) Category I non-friable ACM that has become 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.

• Category I Non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient floor covering, and asphalt roofing products which contain more than one percent asbestos.

• 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.

OSHA –

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 as follows:

• 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.

• 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 EPA or 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.

Lead Paint

In 1978, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the sale of lead-based paint to consumers, and its application to areas where consumers have direct access to painted surfaces. As a result of this ban, buildings painted prior to 1978 are suspected of containing leaded paint.

LBP Definition –

The EPA and HUD defines "lead-based paint" as any "paint, surface coating that contains lead equal to or exceeding one milligram per square centimeter (1.0 mg/cm2) or 0.5% lead by weight."

EPA – Renovation, Repair and Painting Program

EPA's Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule (RRP Rule) requires that firms performing renovation, repair, and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and pre-schools built before 1978 have their firm certified by EPA (or an EPA authorized state), use certified renovators who are trained by EPA-approved training providers and follow lead-safe work practices.

OSHA –

The current OSHA standard (29 CFR 1926.62) for lead exposure in construction has a permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air (50 µg/m3), measured as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA). As with all OSHA health standards, when the PEL is exceeded, the hierarchy of controls requires employers to institute feasible engineering and work practice controls as the primary means to reduce and maintain employee exposures to levels at or below the PEL. When all feasible engineering and work practice controls have been implemented but have proven inadequate to meet the PEL, employers must nonetheless implement these controls and must supplement them with appropriate respiratory protection. The employer also must ensure that employees wear the respiratory protection provided when it is required.

HUD –

The Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing (2012 Edition) enforce HUD’s vision to reduce hazards in housing in a cost-effective manner while protecting the health of children. These guidelines are used by those who are required to identify and control lead paint hazards, as well as property owners, landlords, and child-care center operators. Helpful advice on renovations in older housing, lead-based paint inspections and risk assessments, and where to go for help can be found in the guidelines. The guidelines also outline what users have to do to meet requirements and recommendations;

identify training – and if applicable, certification – required for people who conduct the work; and describe how the work should be done.

The guidelines complement regulations that have been issued by HUD, the EPA, and OSHA

PCBs

The EPA has prohibited the manufacturing of materials with concentrations of PCBs greater than or equal to 50 mg/kg, and has extended this concentration to in-place materials containing PCBs. Materials considered to be PCB-containing require special handling and disposal.

5.1.4 QUANTIFICATION

Quantification of suspect ACMs was conducted using visual estimation by the accredited 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 ACM 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 any identified ACM, the abatement contractor is responsible for verifying reported quantities of ACM.

6 CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

6.1 CONCLUSIONS

ACM Survey ACMs were identified in the warehouse facility.

Assumed ACMs were not found in the warehouse facility.

Materials with low concentrations of asbestos (trace to 1%) were not identified in warehouse facility.

Limited LBP Survey Lead was detected above the regulatory level for LBP, or the applicable method detection limits, in the paint tested at the subject property.

Other Hazardous Material The following potentially hazardous materials that require special handling and/or disposal considerations for renovations were identified. materials were identified and Materials containing the following hazardous materials:

• Fluorescent light bulbs -Universal Wastes

• Fluorescent light ballasts – Potential PCB content

• Hot water Tank – White Good

• Drinking water Fountain - Chloro-fluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants

• Window HVAC Units – CFC refrigerants

• HVAV Split Systems – CFC Refrigerants

6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS

ACM

• If additional suspect materials not documented in this report are encountered during work activities, the material should be considered asbestos-containing unless bulk sampling is performed and laboratory analysis proves otherwise.

• Category I non-friable ACM (such as floor tiles) 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 or used as clean fill.

• Regulated ACM (RACM), including Category II non-friable ACMs (such as mastics), 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. PSI recommends documentary air monitoring to verify compliance with the NESHAP Regulations.

Lead-Based Paint Lead based-paint was detected in nine (9) of the 16 samples collected. In addition, detectable levels of lead were identified in each of the coatings sampled. Should suspect coatings not sampled as part of this survey be discovered during the renovation/demolition, they must be treated as lead containing until sampling and analysis prove otherwise.

It should be noted that OSHA regulates workers exposure to lead paint concentrations in any detectable amount.

Therefore, in order to satisfy OSHA requirements, worker protection and monitoring may be required for work activities that disturb paints that contain lead in any amount. In accordance with the OSHA Construction Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62), it is the contractors’ responsibility to protect their workers when an employee may be occupationally exposed to lead.

Other Hazardous Materials The identified hazardous materials should be properly disposed in accordance with applicable regulations.

Should other suspected hazardous materials be discovered during the demolition, proper disposal and storage regulations for each material should be followed.
