1.0 INTRODUCTION & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Mabbett and Associates, Inc. (M&A), with Covino Environmental Associates, Inc. (Covino) as a sub-contractor, performed surveys for suspect lead containing paint (LOP) surfaces utilizing an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. Surveys were performed of selected buildings at the VA Medical Center (VAMC) located at 718 Smyth Road, Manchester, NH, under Contract VA241-P- 1653. A complete list of buildings surveyed is in Volume I of this report. Site survey work was performed during October and November 2010, by appropriately credentialed personnel as required. The survey effort involved the collection of the following samples, resulting in the following conclusions:

62 XRF analyzer measurements of building surfaces were taken on the interior, and exterior of this building, and from adjacent structures.

Seventeen of the XRF measurements revealed concentrations of lead that exceed HUD residential standards of 1.0 mg/cm2 .

• Only eight of these XRF measurements were collected on surfaces inside the building.

• Nine of the measurements were taken on metal and wooden objects outside of the building.

18 of the XRF measurements taken on interior and exterior building components, and adjacent structures revealed concentrations of lead that exceeded the threshold concentration of 0.1 mg/cm2 established by the VISN CEEOHS Group.

This building report consists of a summary of findings, floor plans indicating sample locations, detailed analytical findings for the specific surveyed building materials, and photos of lead containing paint greater than 1.0 mg/cm2 and in an other than intact condition, when observed, were provided. Calibration records are available in Volume III of the Comprehensive VAMC Lead Survey Report.

2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION

According to information provided by the VAMC Office of Facilities Management and observations made by the M&A team at the time of the survey, Building 3 was a three-story A&MM and Fiscal Service building and occupied 3,910 square feet.

0.1 mg/cm2, but less than 1.0 mg/cm2, and red for readings greater than 1.0 mg/cm2.

4.0 LIMITATIONS

This inspection report is the result of a diligent search of the building for LCP. Only accessible areas were included in this survey. However comprehensive this inspection appears, it does not claim to have identified all of the LCP that could be present in the facility. M&A's survey was performed with limitations inherent to visual inspections. M&A has conducted this assessment with reasonable care and has performed this project within generally accepted industry standards. There can be no assurances, and M&A makes no assurances, that the information, research, and technology used to prepare this report may not change in the future, thus affecting the results provided.

5.0 CLOSING REMARKS

Prior to initiating plans for maintenance, renovation or demolition activities, the VAMC should review the lead survey results to determine whether any of the materials identified as LCP will be disturbed by proposed work activities.

5.1 Lead Containing Paint

The purpose of the LCP screening survey was to identify patterns of LCP. For the purpose of this LCP screening survey, representative interior and exterior building components were tested. The regulations addressing LCP in non-residential buildings are focused on protecting workers who are involved with paint disturbing activities and related waste disposal activities.

Worker protection is regulated by OSHA regulations as well as applicable state regulations.

These regulations involve air monitoring of workers to determine exposure levels when disturbing paint containing measurable lead. A LCP determination cannot determine a safe level of lead, but is intended to provide guidance as to the locations of where LCP is present.

VA employees and contractors may use this information to better determine exposures of workers to airborne lead by understanding the different concentrations of lead paint on representative components and surfaces. Worker exposure controls can then be implemented and air monitoring can then be performed during activities that disturb paint on representative surfaces.

A concentration of lead greater than or equal to 1.0 mg/cm2 exceeds HUD residential standards and is an indicator of risk. OSHA does not specify a safe concentration of LCP.

However, for the purposes of this LCP screening survey the lead concentrations greater than

0.1 mg/cm2 have been utilized as a threshold established by VISN 1 CEEOHS for areas where possible worker exposures may occur.

4.0 LIMITATIONS

This inspection report is the result of a diligent search of the building for LCP. Only accessible areas were included in this survey. However comprehensive this inspection appears, it does not claim to have identified all of the LCP that could be present in the facility. M&A's survey was performed with limitations inherent to visual inspections. M&A has conducted this assessment with reasonable care and has performed this project within generally accepted industry standards. There can be no assurances, and M&A makes no assurances, that the information, research, and technology used to prepare this report may not change in the future, thus affecting the results provided.

5.0 CLOSING REMARKS

Prior to initiating plans for maintenance, renovation or demolition activities, the VAMC should review the lead survey results to determine whether any of the materials identified as LCP will be disturbed by proposed work activities.

5.1 Lead Containing Paint

The purpose of the LCP screening survey was to identify patterns of LCP. For the purpose of this LCP screening survey, representative interior and exterior building components were tested. The regulations addressing LCP in non-residential buildings are focused on protecting workers who are involved with paint disturbing activities and related waste disposal activities.

Worker protection is regulated by OSHA regulations as well as applicable state regulations.

These regulations involve air monitoring of workers to determine exposure levels when disturbing paint containing measurable lead. A LCP determination cannot determine a safe level of lead, but is intended to provide guidance as to the locations of where LCP is present.

VA employees and contractors may use this information to better determine exposures of workers to airborne lead by understanding the different concentrations of lead paint on representative components and surfaces. Worker exposure controls can then be implemented and air monitoring can then be performed during activities that disturb paint on representative surfaces.

A concentration of lead greater than or equal to 1.0 mg/cm2 exceeds HUD residential standards and is an indicator of risk. OSHA does not specify a safe concentration of LCP.

However, for the purposes of this LCP screening survey the lead concentrations greater than

0.1 mg/cm2 have been utilized as a threshold established by VISN 1 CEEOHS for areas where possible worker exposures may occur.

Page iii Vol II Survey Rpt Manchester Bldg 5 Final (8-11).doc c) l9 sub-contractor, performed surveys for suspect lead containing paint (LCP) surfaces utilizing an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. Surveys were performed of selected buildings at the VA Medical Center (VAMC) located at 718 Smyth Road, Manchester, NH, under Contract VA241-P- 1653. A complete list of buildings surveyed is in Volume I of this report. Site survey work was performed during October and November 2010, by appropriately credentialed personnel as required. The survey effort involved the collection of the following samples, resulting in the following conclusions:

44 XRF analyzer measurements of building surfaces were taken on the interior, and exterior of this building, and from adjacent structures.

Ten of the XRF measurements revealed concentrations of lead that exceed HUD residential standards of 1.0 mg/cm2

• Only five of these XRF measurements were collected on surfaces inside the building.

• Five of the measurements were taken on wooden objects outside of the building.

13 of the XRF measurements taken on interior and exterior building components, and adjacent structures revealed concentrations of lead that exceeded the threshold concentration of 0.1 mg/cm2 established by the VISN CEEOHS Group

This building report consists of a summary of findings, floor plans indicating sample locations, detailed analytical findings for the specific surveyed building materials, and photos of lead containing paint greater than 1.0 mg/cm2 and in an other than intact condition, when observed, were provided. Calibration records are available in Volume III of the Comprehensive VAMC Lead Survey Report.

2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION

According to information provided by the VAMC Office of Facilities Management and observations made by the M&A team at the time of the survey, Building 5 was a two-story National Guard building and occupied 5,020 square feet.

M&A completed a Lead Containing Paint Risk Analysis in accordance with the SOP and determined that a LCP screening survey was warranted in this building. The LCP screening survey was performed by trained lead inspectors/screeners meeting the qualifications outlined in the SOP. The screening survey measured lead concentrations in accessible building surfaces by using a Niton XLp 303A XRF (serial number 18580). The XRF instrument was calibrated at the frequency specified in the SOP.
