Executive Summary
Pond & Company retained Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) to conduct a targeted regulated building materials inspection of the Buildings J00567 and J01207, located in Joint Base Lewis- McChord, Washington. Terracon’s representatives, Mr. Daniel Sheppard and Mr. John McCaslin, conducted the inspection on December 12, 2023.
Terracon inspected the project areas for the following regulated building materials:
Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) Assumed asbestos-containing materials Lead-containing coatings (paints) Mercury-containing light tubes, switches, and thermostats Suspected high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps Suspected Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)-containing fluorescent light ballasts
Asbestos
Ninety bulk samples of suspect asbestos-containing materials were collected and analyzed using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). None of the of the sampled materials were found to contain asbestos and two materials were assumed to be ACM. In addition, one of the materials was visually inspected and determined to be non-suspect.
Lead
Five paint chip samples were collected and analyzed for total lead content. One of the paint chip samples was found to contain detectable concentrations of lead.
Other Regulated Materials
Mercury-containing fluorescent light tubes were identified in the buildings. Light ballasts associated with fluorescent light fixtures were assumed to be PCB-containing.
Mercury-containing switches and thermostats were not observed in the project area.
High intensity discharge lamps were not observed in the project area.

Introduction
Pond & Company retained Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) to conduct a targeted regulated building materials inspection of the Buildings J00567 and J01207, located in Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. Terracon’s representatives, Mr. Daniel Sheppard and Mr.
John McCaslin, conducted the inspection on December 12, 2023.
Terracon inspected the building project areas for the following regulated building materials:
Asbestos-containing materials (ACM) Assumed asbestos-containing materials Lead-containing coatings (paints) Mercury-containing light tubes, switches, and thermostats Suspected high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps Suspected Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB)-containing fluorescent light ballasts
Project Background
This report presents the results of our targeted regulated building materials inspection conducted in support of the future renovation of the Buildings J00567 and J01207. The purpose of the inspection was to identify potential asbestos-containing material, lead-containing coatings, PCB-containing light ballasts, and mercury-containing components prior to building renovation and for purposes of hazard communication and on-going management.
The inspection included accessible areas of the interior of Buildings J00567 and J01207 where materials will be impacted by the planned HVAC upgrade (project area). The inspection was limited to the project area as described and did not include exteriors, roofs, or other interior areas of the buildings.
During the inspection, the following areas were not accessible and therefore not included in the inspection:
Dormitory suites of building J00567 were inaccessible, except for suite 101.
This inspection report will assist Pond & Company with communicating the presence of regulated building materials, and the presence, location, and quantity of ACM to employees, vendors, and contractors working in the project area and to meet the requirements for an asbestos survey for the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA) and a good faith inspection as required by Washington State Department of Labor and Industries’ Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) regulations prior to renovation in the project area. Regulations require that a complete copy of this report be kept in a conspicuous location on-site at all times during activities that may impact known and suspect ACM.

Asbestos Assessment
3.1 Building Assessment
Mr. Daniel Sheppard and Mr. John McCaslin, both Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)-accredited building inspectors (Certification 189943, expiration date: 6/22/2024 and Certification 187335, expiration date: 1/5/2024, respectively) from Terracon, performed the sampling on December 12, 2023. Terracon’s inspectors collected 90 samples of materials identified as suspect ACM.
This inspection was conducted using a modified protocol adapted from AHERA. The protocol is as follows:
January 8, 2024 Terracon Project No. 81237391
Identify suspect asbestos-containing materials.
Group materials into homogeneous sampling areas/materials.
Quantify each homogeneous material and collect representative samples. The number of samples collected of miscellaneous materials was determined by the inspector.
Samples of each material were taken to the substrate, ensuring that all components and layers of the material were included.
Sample locations are referenced on the field data forms according to sample number.
Sampling was performed by an AHERA-accredited building inspector, and the use of proper protective equipment and procedures were followed.
3.2 Sampling Procedures
The sampling was conducted using the following procedures:
1. Spread the plastic drop cloth (if needed) and set up other equipment, e.g., ladder.
2. Don protective equipment (respirator and protective clothing if needed).
3. Label sample container with its identification number and record number. Record sample location and type of material sampled on a sampling data form.
4. Moisten area where sample is to be extracted (spray the immediate area with water).
5. Extract sample using a clean knife, drill capsule, or cork boring tool to cut out or scrape off approximately one tablespoon of the material. Penetrate all layers of material.
6. Place sample in a container and tightly seal it.
7. Wipe the exterior of the container with a wet wipe to remove material that may have adhered to it during sampling.
8. Clean tools with wet wipes and wet mop; or vacuum area with HEPA vacuum to clean all debris.
9. Discard protective clothing, wet wipes and rags, cartridge filters, and drop cloth in a labeled plastic waste bag.
3.3 Analytical Methodology
Suspect ACMs were sampled in general accordance with 40 CFR 763.86 by an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) AHERA-accredited building inspector. Each sample was collected and stored in a heavy-duty, self-sealing plastic bag, and delivered to NVL Laboratories in Seattle, Washington. Samples were analyzed via polarized light microscopy (PLM) in accordance with EPA/600/R-93/116. NVL Laboratories is accredited to perform PLM analysis by the National Institute of Standards and Technology National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program
(NVLAP).

If the analytical results indicate that all the samples collected per homogenous material do not contain asbestos, then the material is not considered an ACM. However, if the analytical results of one or more of the samples collected per homogenous material indicate that asbestos is present in quantities of greater than one percent as defined by the EPA, the homogeneous material is considered to be ACM regardless of other analytical results (unless a representative number of samples have been analyzed by PLM point counting as described below, and the results indicate the material contains less than one percent asbestos).
Any material that contains greater than one percent asbestos is considered an ACM and must be handled according to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), EPA, and applicable state and local regulations. The EPA National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 40 CFR 61, Subparts A and M has a requirement related to inspection of suspect ACM in buildings. When the asbestos content of a friable material is visually estimated by PLM to be detectable but less than ten percent, your firm may elect to (1) assume the amount is greater than one percent and treat the material as asbestos-containing or (2) require verification of the amount by the PLM point counting technique. If the results obtained by point counting and visual estimation are different, the point count result must be used.
When no asbestos is detected by PLM, point counting is not required.
Lead Assessment
Homogeneous areas of suspected lead-containing coatings (paints) were identified and sampled in accessible areas throughout the Buildings J00567 and J01207 located in Joint Base
January 8, 2024 Terracon Project No. 81237391
Lewis-McChord, Washington. Homogeneous painted surfaces were defined by substrate, application, and color.
4.1 Sampling Methodology
Paint chip samples were collected to the substrate to ensure that all layers present at the location sampled were included in the laboratory analysis. Each sample was collected and stored in a heavy-duty, self-sealing plastic bag and delivered to NVL Laboratories in Seattle, Washington. Samples were analyzed via Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry in accordance with Method EPA 7000B. NVL Laboratories in Seattle, Washington is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) for lead analysis.
4.2 Lead Sampling Results
Five paint chip samples were collected and analyzed for lead. One sample had reportable concentrations of lead. The results of the analyses are presented in Table 4.2-1.

Other Regulated Building Materials
5.1 Methodology – Universal Wastes
An inventory of fluorescent light tubes, HID lamps, and potential PCB-containing ballasts was conducted in accessible areas of the project.
Where fluorescent light fixtures were accessible, the ballast covers were removed, and the ballast labels were visually examined. Different types of fluorescent fixtures were distinguished by shield shape, fixture dimension, diffuser type, and the manner in which the ballast covers were connected to the fixture. Inspectors attempted to visually inspect at least two of each type of fluorescent light fixture.
January 8, 2024 Terracon Project No. 81237391
Where fluorescent light fixtures could not be visually examined, the number of potential PCB-containing ballasts in fixtures was estimated based on the following assumptions:
Each single light tube fluorescent fixture contains one ballast Each multiple light tube fluorescent fixture contains one ballast for every pair of light tubes Each multiple light tube fluorescent light fixture contains one ballast for every pair of light tubes (four-foot length) and two ballasts for every pair of light tubes (eight feet or greater in length) All light ballasts are assumed to contain PCBs unless the manufacturer’s label indicates they are electronic ballasts
Mercury-containing light tubes were counted and documented in an inventory by length. Light tubes were determined to be four-foot tubes.
Magnetic ballasts are suspected of containing PCBs in the potting material or in the dielectric fluid in the capacitor. Electronic ballasts are not suspected of containing PCBs. A Philips Advance Sensor Switch “ballast checker” was used to identify magnetic versus electronic ballasts. The ballast checker is used by pointing the device at a powered light fixture, and the device indicates whether the ballast is electronic or magnetic.
5.2 Results
Fluorescent light tubes were observed throughout the building interiors. Light ballasts associated with fluorescent light fixtures were assumed to be PCB-containing. Mercury-containing switches and thermostats were not observed in the project area. Universal wastes were identified in the following quantities:

Conclusions and Recommendations
On December 12, 2023, Terracon conducted a targeted regulated building materials inspection of the Buildings J00567 and J01207 located in Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington
6.1 Asbestos
The results of the asbestos inspection conducted at Buildings J00567 and J01207 indicate that the following building materials sampled are ACMs or are assumed to contain greater than one percent asbestos.

Access was only granted in unit 101. Additional suspect ACMs may be present in areas not granted access to be inspected or that were inaccessible or concealed. These spaces include, but are not limited to, dwelling suites and common spaces that were not accessed, above hard ceiling decks, electrical systems, pipe chases, spaces between wall/ceiling/door/floor cavities, interior of mechanical components, beneath foundation pads, etc. If future maintenance, renovation, and/or demolition activities make these areas accessible, Terracon recommends that a thorough inspection of these spaces be conducted at that time to identify and confirm the presence or absence of additional suspect ACMs. Until then, all such unidentified materials must be treated as assumed ACM in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
6.2 Lead
One of the samples analyzed was found to contain detectable concentrations of lead.
The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries requires an exposure assessment be conducted during operations that may disturb the lead paint in such a way that the airborne exposure may reach or exceed the Action level of 30 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) or the Permissible Exposure Limit of 50 µg/m3. The worker protection requirements of WAC 296-155-176 "Lead in Construction" may apply.
Some of the coatings contained detectable concentrations of lead. If this building or portions of it will be demolished and disposed of, a toxicity characteristic leachate procedure (TCLP) sample that is representative of the waste stream must be collected and analyzed per the requirements of WAC 173-303. If the results of the TCLP analysis determine the waste to be a
January 8, 2024 Terracon Project No. 81237391
"dangerous waste" as defined by WAC 173-303, it must be disposed of accordingly.
6.3 Other Regulated Building Materials
Fluorescent light tubes, HID lamps, switches, and thermostats may contain mercury.
Fluorescent light ballasts and HID lamp ballasts may contain PCBs. In Washington State, even ballasts labeled with "No PCBs" may have regulated quantities of PCBs and therefore should be handled in accordance with Washington Department of Ecology requirements. Employers must inform their employees of mercury and PCB hazards in accordance with WAC 296-800-170.
Limitations
This report presents the results of the regulated building materials conducted at the Buildings J00567 and J01207 located at in Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. The inspection was for the purposes of identifying ACM, lead-containing paint, PCB caulking, mercury-containing components, PCB ballasts, and HID lamps prior to renovation.
The lead paint chip sampling and reporting conducted as a part of this inspection does not nor is intended to meet the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Lead;
Renovation, Repair, and Painting rule (RRP). Refer to EPA regulation 40CFR745 and Washington State regulation WAC 365-230 for additional information.
Regulated building material inspections are non-comprehensive and subject to many limitations, including those presented below. Our inspection has considered risks pertaining to asbestos, lead in coatings, heavy metals in paint, fluorescent lamps, mercury switches, PCB ballasts, and HID lamps; however, this inspection is limited to only those locations and materials included in the inspection. This inspection was not designed to identify all potential concerns or to eliminate all risks associated with renovation, demolition, material removal, construction, or transferring of property title. Evaluation of other risks not specifically described in the Scope of Work have not been included; for example: structural integrity;
engineering loads; electrical; mechanical; radon gas; slope stability; building settlement; and evaluation of toxic and hazardous substances in, or in contact with, soil and groundwater. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made.

Dear Mr. McCaslin, Enclosed please find test results for the 47 sample(s) submitted to our laboratory for analysis on 12/13/2023.
Examination of these samples was conducted for the presence of identifiable asbestos fibers using polarized light microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining in accordance with U. S. EPA 40 CFR Appendix E to Subpart E of Part 763, Interim Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples and EPA 600/R-93/116, Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials.
For samples containing more than one separable layer of materials, the report will include findings for each layer (labeled Layer 1 and Layer 2, etc. for each individual layer). The asbestos concentration in the sample is determined by calibrated visual estimation.
For those samples with asbestos concentrations between 1 and 10 percent based on visual estimation, the EPA recommends a procedure known as point counting (NESHAPS, 40 CFR Part 61). Point counting is a statistically more accurate means of quantification for samples with low concentrations of asbestos.
The detection limit for the calibrated visual estimation is <1%, 400 point counts is 0.25% and 1000 point counts is 0.1%
Samples are archived for two weeks following analysis. Samples that are not retrieved by the client are discarded after two weeks.
Thank you for using our laboratory services. Please do not hesitate to call if there is anything further we can assist you with.
Sincerely, Enc.: Sample Results
