About this file

This document provides the results of a limited lead survey conducted at Building 931 on Travis Air Force Base. The survey tested damaged paint on the ceiling and ceiling wood beams for lead content. Two paint samples were collected and analyzed by a certified laboratory. While both samples contained detectable levels of lead, neither was found to exceed regulatory limits defining lead-based paint. The survey results and laboratory analysis found the damaged paint at Building 931 to not be lead-based paint, though renovation work disturbing this paint still requires compliance with occupational safety regulations.

Limited Lead Survey Travis – Building 931 Travis Air Force Inn, Travis, California Page 1 of 3

SECTION I

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On January 7, 2020, American Compliance Services, LTD (ACS) conducted a limited lead survey inside Building 931, at the Travis Air Force Base, in Travis, California. David Kummer and Sofia Kummer, CDPH Certified Lead Sampling Technicians, conducted the survey.

SECTION II

SCOPE OF WORK

The scope of work included testing the damaged paint on the ceiling and on the ceiling wood beams.

The purpose of this survey was to identify if the select material sampled contains lead prior to disturbance during remodeling activities. Should the final construction plans change and require penetration into materials not included in this report, additional sampling and analysis will be required at this site.

SECTION III

DEFINITIONS

CAL-OSHA Lead Definitions

The Cal/OSHA Lead in Construction Standard 1532.1 regulations takes effect when employees disturb lead coatings or materials that contain any detectable levels of lead. California OSHA regulations assume exposures above the Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) where lead coatings or paint with lead at any level is present when “trigger” tasks are performed until an exposure assessment is conducted. The contractor must comply with this regulation when disturbing lead containing paint or materials.

EPA / CDPH Lead Definitions

The CDPH, Title 17, California Code of Regulations, Division 1, Chapter 8, Accreditation, Certification, and Work Practices for Lead-Based Paint and Lead Hazards, defines lead based paint as any coating containing lead at or above 1.0 Milligram/Centimeter Squared (mg/cm²) and/or 5,000 parts per million (ppm) of lead or 0.5 % lead by weight or greater. A 24-hour notification is required to OSHA before disturbing lead-based paint.

Disturbing lead-based paint without containment is considered a lead hazard by the EPA and CDPH, and impact to these painted surfaces must be done in accordance with the established regulations and procedures.

Lead contaminated dust means dust levels on interior floors in excess of 40 micrograms per square foot (40 µg/sq. Ft.), 250 µg/sq. Ft. for interior horizontal surfaces, and 400 µg/sq. Ft. for exterior horizontal surfaces.

Lead-contaminated soil means bare soil that contains an amount of lead equal to, or in excess of, 400 parts per million (ppm) in children’s play areas and 1,000 ppm in all other areas.

SECTION IV

ASBESTOS INSPECTION RESULTS & FINDINGS

Two (2) samples were collected for lead laboratory analysis from the damaged paint that may be disturbed during renovation. The paint samples included all layers of paint down to the substrate.

Sampling locations were chosen to be representative of the coatings present. The samples were delivered to Micro Analytical Laboratory, Incorporated, in Emeryville, California for analysis. The paint is determined not to be lead-based, although detectable levels of lead was found in the paint sampled. The laboratory results are presented in the table below.

Lead Sample Results

Sample # Description and Location Results

EPA/CDPH

LBP Limit

P1 White Paint on Wood Ceiling 340 ppm 5,000 ppm

P2 White Paint on Wood Beams 170 ppm 5,000 ppm ppm: parts per million; EPA: Environmental Protection Agency; CDPH: CA Department of Public Health.

SECTION V

METHODS

LEAD ANALYTICAL METHODS

Sampling for lead was performed using bulk sampling. Lead analysis was performed by Micro Analytics, a NLLAP-accredited laboratory using the approved method for determination of lead in paint-chip samples. The lead analysis was performed using a Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS), using SW846. The AAS was calibrated using a known lead standard.

After the AAS calibration procedure was completed, the samples were analyzed by the AAS. See the laboratory report for details.
