Asbestos LBP Survey Bldg. 90326 - Jan 2009.pdf

This document is a Revised Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Survey Report for Building 90326 "The Reef" located at Hurlburt Field, Florida, prepared by Professional Service Industries, Inc. (PSI) dated January 22, 2009, in response to a renovation project.

The asbestos survey identified friable and non-friable asbestos-containing materials (ACM) through fifty-two bulk samples analyzed via Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). Materials found to contain asbestos include drywall ceilings, ceiling tile, drywall systems, joint compounds, and soil in the crawlspace underneath the kitchen. The soil in the crawlspace was found to be contaminated with 3% Chrysotile Asbestos and 2% Amosite Asbestos, prompting PSI's recommendation to restrict access and place asbestos warning signs. The joint compound in Drywall Ceiling #3 was further analyzed using point counting methodology and determined to contain less than 1% chrysotile asbestos, therefore not classified as an Asbestos Containing Material (ACM). The lead paint survey employed x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis of ninety-two readings, identifying eight components with lead concentrations equal to or exceeding 1.0 mg/cm². Components with elevated lead levels include gray concrete steps, yellow painted trim, blue door, red handrails, tan metal piping, brown metal handrail, and yellow painted threshold. The report notes that OSHA does not have standards for lead in paint concentrations, and recommends case-by-case assessment of each construction activity to determine necessary abatement prior to disturbance. All analytical work was conducted by PSI's accredited laboratory in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, using EPA-recommended methods, and the report is certified by licensed asbestos consultant Scott Crandall.
