EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This executive summary is intended as an overview for the convenience of the reader. The report should be reviewed in its entirety prior to making any decisions regarding this site.

Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) conducted an asbestos and lead paint survey of Building 3210 located on the Weapons Station-Joint Base Charleston in North Charleston, South Carolina.

The structure is approximately 120 square-feet, constructed of decorative concrete block walls, concrete floor and a pitched, shingled roof. The date of construction is unknown. It was our understanding that structure is scheduled for demolition. The purpose of this survey was to sample and identify suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and provide information regarding the identity, location, condition and approximate quantities of ACM in both interior and exterior building components.

The survey was performed on February 6, 2017 by a South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) licensed asbestos inspector in general accordance with our CEMS work order dated January 23, 2017 and the sampling protocols established in EPA 40 CFR 763 (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act, AHERA) and the SCDHEC Regulation 61-86.1 Standards of Performance for Asbestos Projects.

Nine (9) bulk samples were collected from homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. Based on the results of laboratory analysis, none of the suspect materials sampled contained asbestos at concentrations greater than one percent (>1%); therefore they are non-ACM.

Paint was not observed on any buildings materials within the structure, therefore paint chip samples for lead analysis were not collected.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) conducted an asbestos and lead paint survey of Building 3210 located on the Weapons Station-Joint Base Charleston in North Charleston, South Carolina.

The structure is approximately 120 square-feet, constructed of decorative concrete block walls, concrete floor and a pitched, shingled roof. The survey was conducted on February 6, 2017, by a South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) licensed building inspector in general accordance with our CEMS work order dated January 23, 2017.

We understand the asbestos survey was requested due to the scheduled demolition of the building. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation 40 CFR 61, Subpart M, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), prohibits the release of asbestos fibers to the atmosphere during renovation/demolition activities. NESHAP requires that potentially regulated asbestos-containing building materials be identified, classified and quantified prior to planned disturbances or demolition activities.

Suspect ACM was sampled in general accordance with the sampling protocols outlined in EPA Regulation 40 CFR 763 Subpart E763.86 (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act, AHERA) and SCDHEC Regulation 61-86.1 Standards of Performance for Asbestos Projects. Interior and exterior building components were surveyed and homogeneous areas of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) were visually identified and documented. Although reasonable effort was made to survey accessible suspect materials, additional suspect but un-sampled materials could be located in walls, in voids or in other concealed areas. Samples were delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), as required.

2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION

The structure is approximately 120 square-feet constructed of decorative concrete block walls, concrete floor, and a pitched, shingled roof. The date of construction is unknown. Interior finishes consist of decorative concrete block walls, wood panel ceiling, and a concrete floor.

The building is heated and cooled by a window unit.

3.0 ASBESTOS SURVEY

The asbestos survey was conducted by SCDHEC licensed Asbestos Building Inspector(s) Mr.

Craig C. Langford (License No. ASB-22775, exp. 8/02/17). A copy of Mr. Langford’s license is included in Appendix C. The survey was conducted on February 6, 2017 in general accordance with the sampling protocols established by EPA Regulation 40 CFR 763 Subpart E 763.86, AHERA and SCDHEC R61-86.1. A summary of survey activities is provided below.

3.1 Regulatory Overview

An ACM is defined as any material containing asbestos of any type in an amount greater than one percent (1%). The asbestos NESHAP (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste disposal practices. It also requires the identification and classification of existing building materials prior to demolition or renovation activity. Under NESHAP, asbestos-containing building materials are classified as either friable, Category I non-friable or Category II non-friable ACM. Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Category I non friable ACM includes packing materials, gaskets, resilient floor coverings and asphalt roofing products containing more than 1 percent (%) asbestos. Category II non-friable ACM are non-friable materials other than Category I materials that contain more than 1% asbestos.

Friable ACM, Category I and Category II non-friable ACM which is in poor condition and has become friable or which will be subjected to drilling, sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading and which could be crushed or pulverized during anticipated renovation/demolition activities are considered regulated ACM (RACM). RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities.

In the state of South Carolina, asbestos activities are regulated by the SCDHEC under the SCDHEC Regulation 61-86.1 Standards of Performance for Asbestos Projects. The SCDHEC require that any asbestos-related activity conducted in a public building be performed by personnel licensed by the SCDHEC. The owner or operator must provide the SCDHEC with written notification of planned abatement and removal activities prior to the commencement of those activities. The SCDHEC requires 4 day notification for non-friable projects and 10 day notification for RACM projects. Asbestos abatement must be performed by SCDHEC-licensed asbestos abatement contractors. A SCDHEC-licensed Project Designer shall prepare a written abatement design for each abatement renovation project involving the removal of greater than 3,000 square, 1,500 linear, or 656 cubic feet of RACM. Third-party air monitoring must be conducted during the abatement of friable (regulated) ACM. The SCDHEC asbestos regulations can be found at http://www.scdhec.gov.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Asbestos Standard for Construction Industry (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1 asbestos

February 21, 2017 ■ Terracon Project No. EN177060

Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 4 fibers per cubic centimeter of air (0.1 f/cc) for an eight-hour timed weighed average. The OSHA standard classifies construction and maintenance activities, which could disturb ACM, and specifies work practices and precautions which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated work. A full copy of the OSHA asbestos standard for general industry may be found at OSHA’s website (www.osha.gov) and should be referenced for specific information.

3.2 Visual Assessment

Our survey activities began with visual observation of the interior and exterior of the building to identify apparent homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. A homogeneous area consists of building materials, which appear similar throughout in terms of color, texture and date of application.

Building materials which were not identified as concrete, glass, wood, masonry, metal or rubber were considered suspect ACM.

3.3 Physical Assessment

A physical assessment of each homogeneous area of suspect ACM was conducted to assess the friability and condition of the materials. A friable material is defined by the EPA as a material, which can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry. Friability was assessed by physically touching suspect materials.

3.4 Sample Collection

Based on our visual observations, bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in general accordance with SCDHEC sample collection protocols. Random samples of suspect materials were collected in each homogeneous area. Bulk samples were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for fiber release. Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample numbers using an indelible marker.

The selection of sample locations and frequency of sampling was based on Terracon’s observations and the assumption that like materials in the same area are homogeneous in content.

A summary of the suspect ACM samples collected during the survey is presented in Table 1 in Appendix A.

3.5 Sample Analysis

Bulk samples were submitted under chain of custody to EMSL Analytical, Inc. of Kernersville, North Carolina for analysis by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining techniques per EPA EPA/600/R-93/116. The percentage of asbestos, where applicable, was determined by microscopical visual estimation. EMSL is accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP).

Per the SCDHEC Regulation 61-86.1 Standards of Performance for Asbestos Projects, negative results for non-friable organically bound (NOB) materials such as flooring and roofing shall be verified with at least one TEM analysis. The additional analysis was performed by TEM in accordance with EPA/600/R-93/116 Section 2.5.5.1.

3.6 Findings and Recommendations

Table 1 in the Appendix A summarizes the results of the visual inspection, estimated quantities, and laboratory analyses. Asbestos laboratory analytical reports are included in Appendix B

Based on the results of laboratory analysis, none of the suspect materials sampled contained asbestos at concentrations greater than one percent (>1%); therefore they are non-ACM.

A copy of this report must be submitted to SCDHEC at least ten (10) working days prior to demolition when applying for a demolition permit. Federal, state and local regulations should be referred to in order to verify compliance before any actions are initiated on an ACM.

In accordance with OSHA's Asbestos Standard, the employer shall notify affected employees and contractors of the presence and location of asbestos-containing materials and test results. A full copy of the OSHA asbestos standard for general industry may be found at OSHA’s website (www.osha.gov) and should be referenced for specific information.

It should be noted that suspect materials, other than those identified during the February 6, 2017 survey may exist within the structure. Should suspect materials other than those which were identified during this survey be uncovered during or prior to the abatement and demolition process, those materials should be assumed asbestos-containing until sampling and analysis can confirm or refute their asbestos content. Should future sampling indicate that the other material is asbestos containing, Terracon recommends removal of the asbestos-containing materials by a South Carolina licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to renovation/demolition of the building.

4.0 LEAD-BASED PAINT SURVEY

4.1 Regulatory Overview

Lead is regulated by the EPA, SCDHEC and OSHA. The EPA and SCDHEC regulate lead use, removal, and disposal, and OSHA regulates lead exposure to workers. The EPA defines LBP as paint, varnish, stain, or other applied coating that contains lead equal to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2, 5,000 mg/kg, or 0.5% by dry weight as determined by laboratory analysis. The SCDHEC regulations 61-107.19 require that painted demolition debris with a lead concentration greater than 0.06% by weight be disposed in a permitted Class II landfill. For the purpose of the OSHA lead standard, lead includes metallic lead, all inorganic lead compounds, and organic lead soaps. The complete OSHA standard for compliance can be found on OSHA’s website (www.osha.gov). A synopsis of the OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1926.62) and the applicability are as follows:

The OSHA Lead Standard for Construction (29 CFR 1926.62) applies to all construction work where an employee may be occupationally exposed to lead. All work related to construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) is included. The lead-in-construction standard applies to any detectable concentration of lead in paint, as even small concentrations of lead can result in unacceptable employee exposures depending upon on the method of removal and other workplace conditions. Under this standard, construction includes, but is not limited to, the following:

§ Demolition or salvage of structures where lead or materials containing lead are present § Removal or encapsulation of materials containing lead § New construction, alteration, repair, or renovation of structures, substrates, or portions containing lead, or materials containing lead § Installation of products containing lead § Lead contamination/emergency clean-up § Transportation, disposal, storage, or containment of lead or materials containing lead on the site or location at which construction activities are performed § Maintenance operations associated with construction activities described above

4.2 Findings and Recommendations

Paint was not observed on any buildings materials within the structure, therefore paint chip samples were not collected. Materials, concrete brick and wood trim, appeared to be tinted/colored during manufacture.
