1.0 SUMMARY
NOVA Engineering and Environmental, LLC. (NOVA) has completed the Environmental Services for the National Park Service (NPS) - Gaston Motel site located at 1510 5th Avenue North in
Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama (Subject Property).
A brief summary of our findings is presented below. This summary is provided for convenience and should not be substituted for review of the full report, including all attachments as provided herein.
1.1 ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIAL
During this study, forty-one (41) samples (containing 61 total layers) of floor tile, mastic, leveler, glue, joint compound, Thermal System Insulation (TSI), cement, ceiling texture, window glazing, caulking material, wallboard, grout, and mortar were analyzed by NOVA using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) with sixteen (16) analyzed sample layers indicating Asbestos Containing Material (ACM). A sample location plan is included in
Appendix A of this Report.
Black Mastic
• A total of twelve (12) samples of the black mastic located throughout the Subject
Property indicated >1% asbestos (3% Chrysotile Asbestos). Consequently, we believe all of the black mastic located at the Subject Property should be considered
Asbestos Containing Material (ACM).
Green/Brown Leveler
• A total of two (2) samples of the green/brown leveler located in the front lobby and restroom at the Subject Property indicated >1% asbestos (3% - 5% Chrysotile
Asbestos). Consequently, we believe all of the green/brown leveler located at the
Subject Property should be considered Asbestos Containing Material (ACM).
Black Cement
• A total of five (2) samples of the black cement associated with the top of the wood framing located at the Subject Property indicated >1% asbestos (5% Chrysotile
Asbestos). Consequently, we believe all of the black cement located at the Subject
Property should be considered Asbestos Containing Material (ACM).
A complete list of suspected ACM samples obtained is located in Appendix B of this report.
NPS – Gaston Motel July 18, 2023
1.2 LEAD BASED PAINT & LEAD CONTAINING PAINT
Ninety-one (91) X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer readings were made by NOVA throughout the interior of the Subject Property structure to determine the presence of
Lead Based Paint (LBP).
Lead Based Paint
Lead Based Paint (LBP) is defined as a paint or varnish containing lead at a concentration >0.5% by weight when determined by laboratory analysis. LBP is also defined by HUD as 1.0 mg/cm2 when determined using an XRF analyzer.
The predominant LBP material identified by the NOVA survey include:
• Painted surfaces of metal structural beams and columns located at the Subject
Property; and
• Painted surfaces of metal stairwell riser components located at the Subject Property.
Lead Containing Paint
OSHA does not define Lead Based Paint based on lead content. Any detectable lead in a paint or varnish makes it lead paint for purposes of complying with OSHA regulations to determine worker exposure. Consequently, for purposes of this study, Lead
Containing Paint is considered any detectable level of lead.
The predominant LCP material identified by the NOVA survey include:
• Painted green surfaces of concrete located at the Subject Property.
1.1 HAZARDOUS BUILDING MATERIAL
NOVA surveyed potential Hazardous Building Material (HBM) that was reasonably observed at the Subject Property. Potential HBM observed at the Subject Property include
LED lighting and miscellaneous construction/maintenance chemicals. The Subject Property was gutted down to the wood framing and concrete walls/floors at the time of NOVA's on-site Hazardous Building Material Inventory (HBMI).
The names and locations of all the material identified in the HBMI are included in the table in Section 5.2 of this report.
NPS – Gaston Motel July 18, 2023
2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1 DESCRIPTION OF SUBJECT PROPERTY
The Subject Property is identified as the National Park Service (NPS) - Gaston Motel site located at 1510 5th Avenue North in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama (Subject
Property). Specifically, for the purposes of this Pre-Renovation Asbestos Containing
Material (ACM) Survey, Lead Based Paint (LBP) Survey, and Hazardous Building Material
Inventory (HBMI), the Subject Property includes one (1) two (2) story approximately
10,000 square foot wood framed former hotel structure.
2.2 PURPOSE
As requested by Houser Walker Architecture (CLIENT), the Pre-Renovation Asbestos
Containing Material Survey, Lead Based Paint Survey, and Hazardous Building Material
Inventory (HBMI) was performed in an effort to identify Asbestos-Containing Material
(ACM), Lead Based Paint (LBP), and Hazardous Building Material at the Subject
Property. This work has been performed in general accordance with applicable state and federal regulations, and routine industry practice.
ACM sampling was performed in general accordance with the Asbestos Hazard
Emergency Response Act (AHERA) guidelines and ASTM E2356-18,”Standard Practice for Comprehensive Building Asbestos Survey” as a Baseline Survey. Deviations from the Baseline Survey protocols include:
• Determination of ACM quantities were excluded from the scope of work
2.3 LIMITATIONS
NOVA has performed the Pre-Renovation Asbestos Containing Material Survey, Lead
Based Paint Survey, and Hazardous Building Material Inventory (HBMI), which is a limited inquiry into a property's environmental status and is not sufficient to discover every potential source of ACM, LBP, or Hazardous Building Material (HBM) of the property to be evaluated. No survey/sampling can wholly eliminate uncertainty regarding the potential ACM, LBP, or HBM in connection with a property. Performance of this practice is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, uncertainty regarding the potential for ACM, LBP, and HBM in connection with a property.
The level of inquiry is variable. Not every property will warrant the same level of assessment for ACM, LBP, and HBM.
NPS – Gaston Motel July 18, 2023
Consistent with good commercial or customary practices, the appropriate level of assessment will be guided by the type of property subject to assessment, the intended use of the property, the expertise and risk tolerance of the CLIENT, and the information developed in the course of the assessment.
NOVA's findings, opinions, conclusions and recommendations are based on information obtained through visual assessment of surficial conditions in readily accessible areas.
It is possible that additional ACM, LBP, or HBM exist or may subsequently become known that may impact or change the assessment after NOVA's services are complete.
NOVA’s assessment represents our professional opinion, only. Therefore, NOVA cannot, under any circumstances, make a statement of warranty or guarantee, expressed or implied, that ACM, LBP, and HBM are limited to those that are discovered while we are performing the Sampling.
2.4 USER RELIANCE
NOVA’s Pre-Renovation Asbestos Containing Material Survey, Lead Based Paint Survey, and Hazardous Building Material Inventory, along with the findings and conclusions contained in the report, either in completed form, summary form, or by extraction, is prepared, and intended, for the sole use of Houser Walker Architecture (CLIENT) and therefore may not contain sufficient information for other purposes or parties. The
CLIENT is the only intended beneficiary of this report. The contents of NOVA's report will continue to be the property of NOVA. NOVA's report may not be disclosed to, used by, or relied upon by, any person or entity other than the CLIENT without the express written consent of NOVA.
Authorization for disclosure to a third party or authorization for third-party reliance on a final report of any report will be considered by NOVA upon the written request of the
CLIENT. NOVA reserves the right to deny authorization to allow disclosure or reliance of
NOVA's report to third parties.

3.0 ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIAL
3.1 FIELD AND LABORATORY SERVICES
Mr. Curtis Moses, a NOVA professional, and federal and state certified asbestos inspector, performed the field work for the Pre-Renovation Asbestos Containing Material
Survey at the Subject Property.
3.1.1 ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIAL SAMPLING
The building area was visually assessed by NOVA to identify suspect ACM, which were then grouped into three categories according to their intended use:
• Surfacing Material such as sprayed-on or troweled fireproofing, acoustical and decorative insulation, textured “popcorn” finishes, paint, stucco, etc.
• Thermal System Insulation (TSI), such as pipe, boiler and storage tank insulation, and insulation on ducts, pumps, heat exchangers, and other equipment.
• Miscellaneous Material, such as floor and ceiling tiles, wallboard, asbestos-cement board, siding and other building material that did not fall into one of the previously mentioned categories.
Where applicable, material with similar texture, color and general appearance were considered homogeneous for sampling purposes, including visually similar material on different floors. NOVA’s assessment also included touching representative samples to determine friability, a mechanical classification defined as whether a material can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
Bulk samples were subsequently obtained in general accordance with the AHERA (40
CFR 763.86, Sampling) and ASTM E2356-18 procedures. The samples were placed in appropriate containers, and the containers sealed and labeled with a unique identification number. The samples were subsequently transported (following routine industry practices and chain-of-custody procedures) to EMSL Analytical, LLC (EMSL) for analysis.
The ACM samples were analyzed for asbestos using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) methods in accordance with EPA Method 600/R-93/116. Copies of the complete asbestos laboratory report and chain-of custody are included in Appendix B.
Using the results of the laboratory analysis and NOVA’s visual assessment, the asbestos containing building material can be further categorized into three groups:
NPS – Gaston Motel July 18, 2023
• Friable ACM - Material means any material containing more than one percent (1%) asbestos as determined using the method specified in Appendix A, Subpart F, 40
CFR part 763 Section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy, that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
• Category I Nonfriable ACM - Asbestos-containing packing, gaskets, resilient floor covering, and asphalt roofing products containing more than one percent (1%) asbestos as determined using the method specified in Appendix A, Subpart F, 40
CFR part 763, Section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy.
• Category II Nonfriable ACM - Any material, excluding Category I Nonfriable ACM, containing more than one percent (1%) asbestos as determined using the methods specified in Appendix A, Subpart F, 40 CFR part 763, Section 1, Polarized Light
Microscopy that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
During this study, forty-one (41) samples (containing 61 total layers) of floor tile, mastic, leveler, glue, joint compound, Thermal System Insulation (TSI), cement, ceiling texture, window glazing, caulking material, wallboard, grout, and mortar were analyzed by NOVA using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) with sixteen (16) analyzed sample layers indicating Asbestos Containing Material (ACM). A sample location plan is included in
Appendix A of this Report.
Black Mastic
• A total of twelve (12) samples of the black mastic located throughout the Subject
Property indicated >1% asbestos (3% Chrysotile Asbestos). Consequently, we believe all of the black mastic located at the Subject Property should be considered
Asbestos Containing Material (ACM).
Green/Brown Leveler
• A total of two (2) samples of the green/brown leveler located in the front lobby and restroom at the Subject Property indicated >1% asbestos (3% - 5% Chrysotile
Asbestos). Consequently, we believe all of the green/brown leveler located at the
Subject Property should be considered Asbestos Containing Material (ACM).
Black Cement
• A total of five (2) samples of the black cement associated with the top of the wood framing located at the Subject Property indicated >1% asbestos (5% Chrysotile
Asbestos). Consequently, we believe all of the black cement located at the Subject
Property should be considered Asbestos Containing Material (ACM).
NPS – Gaston Motel July 18, 2023
A complete list of suspected ACM samples obtained is located in Appendix B of this report.
3.2 ASBESTOS ABATEMENT
Any component, which is similar in appearance to, and is in the general vicinity or similar application of samples identified as containing asbestos, as well as any other materials not shown by proper sampling and analysis to be non-asbestos containing, should be handled as asbestos-containing materials (ACM). As previously noted, determination of the actual quantities of ACM at all locations should be made by the contractor during a site inspection prior to beginning abatement.
ACM should be abated (removed) prior to disturbance by maintenance, renovation and/or demolition by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor and disposed at an approved solid waste disposal facility.
Abatement is highly regulated and consists of several parts. In addition to the demolition/renovation permit, an advance notification to the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management is required.
During abatement, third party monitoring is recommended to review if the asbestos is adequately managed and contained during the abatement process and to document clearance and re-occupancy criteria established for the project.
Most Clients also request an abatement management report. This report compiles pertinent data regarding the personnel, abatement, and asbestos disposal for liability management after the fact should there be concerns later from workers or others. The ten (10) day notice, abatement, third party oversight, and management report are not included with the authorized scope of work for this project, but we can provide these supplemental services, if desired. Please note that the means and methods necessary for ACM abatement, as well as worker protection and monitoring, are the sole responsibility of the abatement contractor.

4.0 LEAD BASED PAINT & LEAD CONTAINING PAINT
4.1 DEFINITIONS
concentration >0.5% by weight when determined by laboratory analysis, (1972, Lead
Based Paint Poison Prevention Act (LBPPPA)). LBP is also defined by HUD as 1.0 mg/cm2 when determined using x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. These concentrations are applicable for housing and child-care facilities; however, these concentration levels are also frequently used as targets in commercial projects to allow flexibility in future area usage.
Lead Containing Paint (LCP) was defined as a paint or varnish containing lead at a concentration >0.06% by weight (600 ppm) when determined by laboratory analysis, (1978, LBPPPA). In 2009, LCP was further defined as containing lead at a concentration
>0.009% by weight (90 ppm) for certain consumer products and residential use.
Please note that OSHA does not define Lead Based Paint based on lead content. Any detectable lead in a paint or varnish makes it lead paint for purposes of complying with
OSHA regulations to determine worker exposure. Consequently, for purposes of this study, Lead Containing Paint is considered any detectable lead.
4.2 FIELD AND LABORATORY SERVICES
Mr. Curtis Moses, a NOVA professional and EPA certified lead inspector, performed the field work for the Lead Based Paint Survey at the Subject Property on March 16, 2023.
Ninety-one (91) X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer readings were made by NOVA throughout the interior of the Subject Property structure to determine the presence of
Lead Based Paint (LBP).
4.2.1 LEAD BASED PAINT SAMPLING
Where applicable, material with similar texture, color and general appearance were considered homogeneous for sampling purposes, including visually similar material on different floors and/or different buildings.

Lead Based Paint concentration >0.5% by weight when determined by laboratory analysis. LBP is also defined by HUD as 1.0 mg/cm2 when determined using an XRF analyzer.
The predominant LBP material identified by the NOVA survey include:
• Painted surfaces of metal structural beams and columns located at the Subject
Property; and
• Painted surfaces of metal stairwell riser components located at the Subject Property.
Lead Containing Paint
OSHA does not define Lead Based Paint based on lead content. Any detectable lead in a paint or varnish makes it lead paint for purposes of complying with OSHA regulations to determine worker exposure. Consequently, for purposes of this study, Lead
Containing Paint is considered any detectable level of lead.
The predominant LCP material identified by the NOVA survey include:
• Painted green surfaces of concrete located at the Subject Property.
4.3 LEAD ABATEMENT ACTIVITIES
The US EPA has stated that solid architectural components coated with LBP are less likely to be hazardous because of the small ratio of lead paint to total waste mass (US
EPA, 1993, Applicability of RCRA Disposal Requirements to Lead-Based Paint
Abatement Wastes, Final Report, EPA 747-R-93-006 Technical Programs Branch, Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, March 1993).
The US Army conducted a study which concluded that whole-building demolition debris is not likely to exceed the toxicity characteristic standard for lead if it is handled as a single, whole waste stream and disposed of all together (US Dept. of the Army, US Army
Environmental Hygiene Agency, Interim Final Report, Lead-Based Paint Contaminated
Debris Waste Characterization Study No. 27-26-JK44-92. May 1993). Consequently, whole-building demolition debris is typically considered a non-hazardous waste with regard to lead under RCRA.
We believe the greatest impact of LBP and/or LCP may be on the contractor’s salvage activities of railing, doorframes, etc.., particularly activities that include cutting, grinding, sanding or scraping.
NPS – Gaston Motel July 18, 2023
As previously noted, OSHA does not define lead paint based on content. Any detectable lead in paint makes it lead paint for purposes of complying with OSHA regulations to determine worker exposure.
• The contractor must conduct an initial exposure assessment of all workplaces and operations where lead or lead-containing material is being used, disturbed or removed to determine whether any employee may be exposed to lead at or above the action level.
• Personnel involved in LBP or LCP must be monitored and directed by a Competent
Person who will determine appropriate compliance controls and procedures.
• The Lead in Construction standard's action level is 30 ug/m3 calculated as an 8-hour time-weighted average.
In addition, on April 22, 2008, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, beginning April
22, 2010, contractors performing abatement, renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child-care facilities, and schools (K-12) built before 1978 must be certified by EPA and must follow specific lead-safe work practices to prevent lead contamination.
Persons performing lead-based paint (LBP) abatement activities must:
• Be certified
• Work for a Certified Lead Firm
Persons performing renovation work must:
• Be a certified Renovator
• Work for a Certified Renovation Firm
The EPA and the also regulate the LBP and LCP waste stream resulting from abatement and renovation activities. A potential lead waste material must be analyzed for toxicity using the Toxicity Characteristic Leachate Procedure (TCLP).
• If TCLP results from waste stream of paint chips, dust (including dust from floor refinishing operations), soil, and/or stripper sludge are less than 5 milligrams per liter (5 parts per million or ppm), the waste may usually go to a municipal solid waste
(MSW) or construction debris (CD) landfill, depending on concentrations and landfill operator requirements.
NPS – Gaston Motel July 18, 2023
• If greater than 5 milligrams per liter (5 ppm) must comply with Georgia State Rules for Hazardous Waste Management.
Please note that the means and methods necessary for LBP and/or LCP abatement or demolition, as well as worker protection and monitoring, are the sole responsibility of the contractor.

The above analyses were performed in general compliance with Appendix E to Subpart E of 40 CFR (previously EPA 600/M4-82-020 “Interim Method”) but augmented with procedures outlined in the 1993 (”final”) version of the method. This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST or any agency of the federal government. Non-friable organically bound materials present a problem matrix and therefore EMSL recommends gravimetric reduction prior to analysis. Unless requested by the client, building materials manufactured with multiple layers (i.e. linoleum, wallboard, etc.) are reported as a single sample. Estimation of uncertainty is available on request.
Samples analyzed by EMSL Analytical, Inc Smyrna, GA NVLAP Lab Code 101048-1
