Subject: Asbestos Pre-Renovation Roof Survey

Miami Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) PSC and Auto Wing Stairs Roof Decks 7500 NW 58th Street

Miami, Florida 33166

Dear Mr. Nadal:

EE&G Environmental Services, LLC (EE&G) was retained by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (Client) to conduct an asbestos survey at the above-referenced location.

The survey was performed on July 6, 2016, by Mr. Rey Garcia and Mr. Ramsey Abreu of EE&G certified under the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act, (AHERA). The purpose of this asbestos survey was to identify the presence, extent, and condition of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) that may be impacted as a result of planned renovations for compliance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), Miami-Dade County and applicable State and Federal Guidelines.

SUMMARY

EE&G collected a total of thirteen (13) samples of white field membrane and black edge flashing.

Asbestos was found in amounts greater than 1% in the black edge flashing and therefore is considered to be ACM. See attached laboratory results.

INSPECTION METHODS

The specified roofing materials as per the provided plans were inspected for suspect ACM, unless otherwise noted. Each observed suspect material was described and sampled. Samples were collected according to procedures established by EPA in 40 CFR 763.

Samples were sent to American Asbestos Laboratories in Tampa, Florida for analysis. Upon arrival at the laboratory, the samples were logged-in and stored for analysis. Analyses were performed using the polarized light microscopy (PLM) method of asbestos detection using guidelines and procedures established in the Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials (EPA-600/R-93-116 July, 1993). Results were provided as percent (%) asbestos by volume. Samples found to contain greater than 1% asbestos were considered positive and listed as ACM; Chrysotile Asbestos = C, Amosite = A.

FAA MIAMI ARTCC ROOF SURVEY

LIMITATIONS OF SURVEY

This asbestos inspection report has been prepared by EE&G in a manner consistent with industry standards exercised by members of the profession practicing under similar conditions.

No other warranty, expressed or implied is made. The intent of this survey report is to assist the owner or client in locating ACM. Under no circumstances is this survey to be utilized as a proposal or a project specification document without the expressed written consent of EE&G.

The survey was conducted to identify suspect ACM in accessible roof areas of the subject area as per the Client provided plans. If other areas at this location are to be impacted during planned or future renovations, a separate asbestos survey of these areas will be required.

Some ACM may not have been discovered due to inaccessibility or missing/incomplete plans.

Suspect materials discovered subsequent to the issue of this survey report should be sampled and analyzed to determine asbestos content and to initiate appropriate responses.

Analyses were carried out by PLM. While the most commonly accepted analytical method for detecting asbestos in bulk materials, PLM is known to have limited resolution and may not detect extremely small asbestos fibers. Certain materials, notably vinyl floor tiles, may contain extremely fine asbestos fibers that are beyond the resolution of PLM.

EE&G's interpretations and recommendations are based upon the results of sample collection and analyses in compliance with environmental regulations, quality control and assurance standards, and the scope of work as indicated in EE&G’s proposal. The results, conclusions, and recommendations contained in this report pertain to conditions observed at the time of the survey. Other conditions elsewhere in the subject building(s) may differ from those in the inspected/surveyed locations and, such conditions are unknown, may change over time, and have not been considered.

This report was prepared solely for the use of EE&G’s client, and is not intended for use by third party beneficiaries. The client shall indemnify and hold EE&G harmless against liability for loss arising out of or relating to reliance by a third party on work performed thereunder, or the contents of this report. EE&G will not be held responsible for the interpretation or use by others of data developed pursuant to the compilation of this report, or for use of segregated portions of this report.

SURVEY AREA DESCRIPTION AND OBSERVATIONS

Miami ARTCC – PSC and Auto Wing Roof Decks

The two roofing areas were observed to be finished with a vinyl covering over foam. The main upper PSC roof measured approximately 4,100 SF and the smaller Auto Wing stairs roof measure approximately 160 SF. Each roof was observed to be finished with felts and perimeter and curb flashings. EE&G reviewed Client provided plans (attached) in order to determine building materials likely to be impacted during the roof renovations. Upon review, EE&G designed this survey to include and be limited to sampling of the roofing components.

RESULTS

The results of the PLM analyses and assessment of suspect ACM are as follows:

Asbestos-containing materials (ACM)

Asbestos was found in amounts greater than 1 percent in the black edge flashing (20-25% C) of the smaller Auto Wing Stairs roof (approx. 40 LF/40 SF) and therefore is considered ACM.

Nonasbestos-containing materials

Asbestos was not detected in the white field membrane. The original laboratory report is attached.

CONCLUSIONS

The black edge flashing on the small roof was found to be ACM. If other specific areas at this location are to be impacted during planned renovations, an asbestos survey of these areas will be required. Suspect materials discovered after this inspection should be sampled and analyzed to determine asbestos content and to initiate appropriate responses.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CATEGORY I NONFRIABLE ACM

The black edge flashing (20-25% C) of the small roof (approx. 40 LF/40 SF) was identified as Category I Nonfriable ACM. This nonfriable material must be removed prior to activity that would release asbestos fibers from these materials. Specifically, renovation or demolition activity that will crush, abrade, or dissolve the matrix of these materials must be performed by a Florida-licensed Asbestos Contractor or a roofer trained in the handling of asbestos-containing roofing materials (ACRMs), including oversight by an asbestos supervisor and special disposal of these Category I nonfriable materials.

The Miami-Dade County Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (DRER) requires notification of intent to renovate or demolish a structure that contains ACM. Notification must be sent at least 10 working days prior to the start of any construction activities. The general contractor should also keep a copy of this survey at the site during the entire project as proof of compliance with 40 CFR 61 (NESHAP).

EE&G appreciates the opportunity to provide you and your organization with environmental consulting services. If you have any questions or require further clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact us at (305) 374-8300.
