Re: AHERA 3 Year Reinspection Report Grand Rapids Public Schools – Central Innovations

Dear Mr. Bennett:

MicroAir Consulting, LLC (MicroAir) was retained by Grand Rapids Public Schools (GRPS), to conduct an AHERA 3-year reinspection of Central Innovations located at 421 Fountain NE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The inspection was conducted according to the protocol described in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (40 CFR 763).

CERTIFICATION

The building inspection was conducted on January 2nd, 2019 by Mr. Grant Edgerly, a State of Michigan accredited Asbestos Building Inspector. Mr. Edgerly’s, Accreditation Number is A41792.

REGULATORY BACKGROUND

As a public and commercial building, Central is governed by 29 CFR 1910.1001, Occupational Health Standards for Asbestos in Construction/General Industry and the EPA’s NESHAP for the normal course of business activities by GRPS employees and occupants.

There are three state agencies in Michigan that regulate asbestos in Michigan: the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (DLARA) and the Michigan Department of State Police (MSP). The DEQ is concerned about the release of asbestos fibers to the outer air and proper waste disposal, while DLARA focuses on worker protection during renovation and demolition activities, contractor licensing, and worker training.

During construction or renovation activities, the persons performing those activities would be governed by 29 CFR 1926.1101, Occupational Health Standards for Asbestos in Construction. The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), 40 CFR 763, (partial) and/or its associated requirements. However, there are some portions of AHERA that are used as guidelines for compliance with 29 CFR 1910.1001. In particular, 29 CFR 1910.1001(j)(1) requires owners of buildings constructed prior to 1980 to presume that certain types of building materials are asbestos-containing materials (ACM), unless the owner demonstrates that those materials are not

ACM.

40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M (NESHAP) requires that a thorough inspection be conducted prior to all renovations and all demolitions. A thorough inspection for asbestos is required no matter the age of the facility because all uses of asbestos are not banned. The inspection must be completed before the commencement of a subject renovation and/or demolition activity.

BUILDING DESCRIPTION

The Central Innovations building was constructed in 1910 with additions in 1927, 1931 and 1982. Some building renovations have occurred throughout over the years.

PREVIOUS INSPECTION

The most recent inspection was conducted by GRPS in 2018. MicroAir reviewed this report and incorporated the findings of the previous inspection and historical information into the current reinspection data.

In the previous inspection report suspect ACM materials were given a unique identification number (homogeneous material number), MicroAir has changed numbering from previous reports. The reinspection did

MicroAir Project No. MA-158-18 Page 2 of 7 include the collection of bulk samples. Results of the sampling can be found in Appendix A along with locations of remaining ACM in the building.

REINSPECTION PROCEDURES

With the assistance of GRPS maintenance staff, MicroAir re-inspected known and previously identified areas of the building including above suspended ceilings, pipe chases, and inside the tunnels.

It was beyond the scope of this reinspection to locate, identify, or quantify ACM in areas that were concealed and/or inaccessible areas, such as within walls, hard ceilings, or equipment.

2019 REINSPECTION FINDINGS

The following suspect asbestos-containing materials were observed at Central Innovations during the asbestos inspection and the bulk sampling. Materials in bold were found to be greater than 1% ACM.

Drywall, tape and mud Plaster White sink undercoating 12”x12” White w/multi-color vinyl floor tile w/mastic 1910 - 1’x1’ Ceiling tile small holes and glue pods 1’x1’ Ceiling tile large holes and glue pods 2’x2’ Ceiling tile 12”x12” White w/green marks vinyl floor tile w/mastic Brown cove base Black counter tops 12”x12” White vinyl floor tile w/mastic Wood floor Chalkboards Fire doors Transite fume hood Roofing Concrete Grouts Mortars Caulks and sealants Pipe insulation Wire insulation White lab top Troweled on plaster

Some of the materials listed above are assumed to contain asbestos until bulk samples can be collected and analyzed.

Appendix A of this report is a table that identifies the confirmed and suspect ACM homogeneous materials in Central, their corresponding identification number and locations, and the general condition of ACMs identified during the reinspection.

CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

MicroAir was retained by Grand Rapids Public Schools to conduct a 3-year asbestos-containing material (ACM) reinspection of Central Innovations located at 421 Fountain NE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. MicroAir completed the reinspection on January 2nd, 2019. The inspection was conducted by a State of Michigan accredited Asbestos Building Inspector.

During the reinspection, MicroAir identified and assessed 24 homogeneous materials remaining in Central Innovations.

Any personnel entering a tunnel or chase area must be notified of ACM locations and explained the requirement to wear personal protective equipment.

MicroAir Project No. MA-158-18 Page 3 of 7

If GRPS plans to conduct any renovation or demolition, the identified ACMs should be removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor, as required by current federal, state, and local laws and regulations, should perform any necessary removal and disposal of the identified ACM. MicroAir notes that if suspect ACM other than those identified during this reinspection are encountered during any renovation or demolition, such materials should be sampled and analyzed using PLM to verify presence of asbestos.

We also recommend that visual observations, verification of removal and cleanup, and air monitoring or clearance air monitoring for asbestos fibers be performed by a third party retained by GRPS to demonstrate compliance with applicable regulations, and to confirm the suitability or the area for re-entry. MicroAir can perform these services.

Warning labels should be affixed in all non-public areas where ACM or assumed ACM is present. After completion of repairs or removal of the ACM, fill out an O&M Activities Form and file it in the management plan.

As required by AHERA, GRPS should continue to send the annual notifications including information on planned response actions and reinspections. Copies of the notifications should be kept in the Management Plan.

LIMITATIONS

The conclusions drawn from the observations and sample results are only valid for the time the observations occurred. In the process of gathering the field data included in this report, procedures were followed that represent reasonable and acceptable industrial hygiene practices and procedures in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of this profession currently practicing under similar conditions. However, the information and opinions provided in this report are not to be construed as a warranty of the conditions of this site in any way, implied or explicit. MicroAir accepts no responsibility for the use, interpretation, or reliance by other parties on the information contained herein, nor does this report represent an instrument of regulatory compliance or an asbestos abatement specification.

In conducting the reinspection there are a number of obstacles and limitations that can affect the final outcome of the report. These limitations include but are not limited to the following factors: access concerns, materials that cannot be intrusively sampled or damaged, materials that have been replaced by renovation activities, materials with conflicting laboratory results, and materials that are located in inaccessible and/or concealed areas which limits its quantification. Due to these limitations, the results of this investigation cannot be construed as a certification of the presence or absence of ACM, beyond the materials identified, but rather a diligent and prudent review of available data within an established work scope, and time and budgetary constraints.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me at 616-302-0819 or microairconsulting@gmail.com. Thank you.

Grand Rapids Public Schools – Ridgemoor Park Montessori

MicroAir Consulting, LLC (MicroAir) was retained by Grand Rapids Public Schools (GRPS), to conduct an AHERA 3-year reinspection of Ridgemoor Park Montessori (RPM) located at 2555 Inverness SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Grand Rapids Public Schools – Ken-o-sha Elementary School

MicroAir Consulting, LLC (MicroAir) was retained by Grand Rapids Public Schools (GRPS), to conduct an AHERA 3-year reinspection of Ken-o-sha Elementary School located at 1353 Van Auken Street SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The inspection was conducted according to the protocol described in the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act of 1986 (40 CFR 763).

The building inspection was conducted on October 14th, 2019 by Mr. Ryan Emmons, a State of

As a public and commercial building, Ken-o-sha is governed by 29 CFR 1910.1001, Occupational Health Standards for Asbestos in Construction/General Industry and the EPA’s NESHAP for the normal course of business activities by GRPS employees and occupants.

There are three state agencies in Michigan that regulate asbestos in Michigan: the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (DLARA) and the Michigan Department of State Police (MSP). The DEQ is concerned about the release of asbestos fibers to the outer air and proper waste disposal, while DLARA focuses on worker protection during renovation and demolition activities, contractor licensing, and worker training.

During construction or renovation activities, the persons performing those activities would be governed by 29 CFR 1926.1101, Occupational Health Standards for Asbestos in Construction. The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), 40 CFR 763, (partial) and/or its associated requirements. However, there are some portions of AHERA that are used as guidelines for compliance with 29 CFR 1910.1001. In particular, 29 CFR 1910.1001(j)(1) requires owners of buildings constructed prior to 1980 to presume that certain types of building materials are asbestos-containing materials (ACM), unless the owner demonstrates that those materials are not ACM.

40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M (NESHAP) requires that a thorough inspection be conducted prior to all renovations and all demolitions. A thorough inspection for asbestos is required no matter the age of the facility because

The Ken-o-sha Elementary School building was constructed in 1964 with an addition in 1975. Some building renovations have occurred throughout over the years as well.

It was beyond the scope of this reinspection to locate, identify, or quantify ACM in areas that were concealed

The following suspect asbestos-containing materials were observed at Ken-o-sha Elementary School during the asbestos inspection and the bulk sampling. Materials in bold were found to be greater than 1% ACM.

MicroAir was retained by Grand Rapids Public Schools to conduct a 3-year asbestos-containing material (ACM) reinspection of Ken-o-sha Elementary School located at 1353 Van Auken Street SE in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

MicroAir completed the reinspection on October 14th, 2019. The inspection was conducted by a State of

During the reinspection, MicroAir identified and assessed 21 homogeneous materials remaining in Ken-o-sha regulations, should perform any necessary removal and disposal of the identified ACM. MicroAir notes that if suspect ACM other than those identified during this reinspection are encountered during any renovation or demolition, such materials should be sampled and analyzed using PLM to verify presence of

We also recommend that visual observations, verification of removal and cleanup, and air monitoring or clearance air monitoring for asbestos fibers be performed by a third party retained by GRPS to demonstrate compliance with applicable regulations, and to confirm the suitability or the area for re-entry. MicroAir can completion of repairs or removal of the ACM, fill out an O&M Activities Form and file it in the management planned response actions and reinspections. Copies of the notifications should be kept in the Management

The conclusions drawn from the observations and sample results are only valid for the time the observations occurred. In the process of gathering the field data included in this report, procedures were followed that represent reasonable and acceptable industrial hygiene practices and procedures in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of this profession currently practicing under similar conditions. However, the information and opinions provided in this report are not to be construed as a warranty of the conditions of this site in any way, implied or explicit. MicroAir accepts no responsibility for the use, interpretation, or reliance by other parties on the information contained herein, nor does this report

In conducting the reinspection there are a number of obstacles and limitations that can affect the final outcome of the report. These limitations include but are not limited to the following factors: access concerns, materials that cannot be intrusively sampled or damaged, materials that have been replaced by renovation activities, materials with conflicting laboratory results, and materials that are located in inaccessible and/or concealed areas which limits its quantification. Due to these limitations, the results of this investigation cannot be construed as a certification of the presence or absence of ACM, beyond the materials identified, but rather a diligent and prudent review of available data within an established work scope, and time and budgetary constraints.
