APPENDIX B-113
Asbestos Survey Summary for
Building 860 Vandenberg AFB, California
Bureau Veritas Project # 25009-009558.00
Surveyed by: Mr. Jeremy MacMann, CSST (Certification No. 05-3830)
Dates of Survey: February 9, 2011
Number of Samples collected: Thirty-seven (37)
Number of Samples Analyzed by PLM: thirty-five (35)
Number of Samples Analyzed by TEM: Two (2)
Number of Samples Analyzed by PLM Point Count: None
Photos of Sample Locations: Refer to Appendix C (separated per building), for Photos of Sample Locations on Compact Disc (CD).
Building Description:
Building 860 at Vandenberg AFB, California is a two story, CMU structure constructed in 1959 that comprises approximately 7,741 square feet of floor space.
The interior spaces of Building 860 included classrooms, a conference room, telecom rooms, simulator room, training room, offices, restrooms, a day room, kitchen, physical fitness room, locker room, supply room, and tool room. The interior walls were finished with painted gypsum board with texture. The interior ceilings were finished with drop ceiling. Interior floor finishes included glued on carpet, ceramic tile, and vinyl floor tile. Additional interior finishes included vinyl cove base. The heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system supplied air to each room via un-insulated duct work. The piping was also insulated. The building’s roof consisted of built up tar and gravel. Note that due to the non-destructive nature of this assessment, the aforementioned ceramic floor tile mortar bed was not sampled.
Survey Results
Three (3) of the building materials sampled were found to contain asbestos greater than one percent and four (4) inaccessible material was assumed to contain asbestos greater than one percent. The following table presents a summary of our findings by homogenous sampling area (HA). Sample and asbestos location drawings are attached at the end of Appendix B-113. The laboratory results and the field chain of custodies are also attached at the end of Appendix B-113.

Bureau Veritas North America, Inc. received 3 samples on March 18, 2011 for the analyses presented in the following report.
The results apply only to the samples analyzed in this project. Please note that any unused portion of the samples will be discarded after a thirty-day holding period, unless you have requested otherwise.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist you. If you have any questions concerning the report, please contact the analyst whose name appears on the report or myself at (770) 499-7701.

ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR ASBESTOS IN BULK SAMPLES USING POLARIZED
LIGHT MICROSCOPY (PLM)
The results of this report relate only to the samples listed in the body of this report.
Unless otherwise noted below, the following statements apply: 1) all samples were received in acceptable condition, 2) all quality control results associated with this sample set were within acceptable limits and/or do not adversely affect the reported results, and 3) the industrial hygiene results have not been blank corrected unless otherwise noted.
Use of EPA/600/R-93/116 satisfies applicable requirements of the USEPA's "Interim Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Sample", EPA-600/M4-82-020, December 1982, published as Appendix E to Subpart E of 40CFR763. Bulk samples analyzed by New York State methods follow stratified point counting methods (198.1) or Method 198.6 for PLM non-friable organically bound materials (NYSDOH Lab Code –11645). Percentages are visual estimations of asbestos >10:1 aspect ratio. The reliable limit of quantitation of the method is 1%, although asbestos may be qualitatively detected at concentrations less than 1%. Samples for which asbestos is detected at <1% are reported as trace, "<1%". "None Detected" indicates that no asbestos fibers were observed.
NESHAP requires point counting of a bulk sample when the result is <10% by a method other than point counting. EPA, however states that if 3 mounts of the sample are analyzed and the asbestos percentage is <10% by visual estimation, the client may elect to assume the amount to be greater than 1% or require verification by point counting. If the result by point counting is different than the result obtained by visual estimation, the point count result will be used. Sample friability or non-friability noted on the report is a requirement for the State of California and refers only to the condition of the sample under macroscopic examination. It does not imply friability or non-friability for the sample as collected or observed in the field as determined by the person collecting the sample. The Kennesaw, Georgia lab is accredited by NVLAP –Lab Code 101125-0.
(a)Polarized- light microscopy is not consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in floor coverings and similar non-friable organically bound materials. Quantitative electron microscopy is currently the only method that can be used to determine if this material can be considered or treated as non-asbestos containing. When analysis of such materials by PLM yields results negative for the presence of asbestos, Bureau Veritas recommends utilizing quantitative transmission electron microscopy (TEM). For more information, contact the laboratory.

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF BULK SAMPLES FOR ASBESTOS USING TRANSMISSION
ELECTRON MICROSCOPY (TEM)
Upon receipt in the laboratory, samples are ground until homogeneous. Each sample is weighed in a tared silica crucible. The sample is placed in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 480C for at least 3 hours or until the weight has stabilized. The sample is allowed to cool to room temperature and immediately weighed to calculate percent organic loss.
Approximately 1 ml of nondiluted HCL acid is slowly added to remove calcite and dolomite from the ashed sample. After evolution of CO2 gas has ceased, the sample is immediately diluted with ultra-pure water. The sample is then dispersed in 50 ml of ultra-pure water and filtered onto a pre-weighed 47 mm,
0.45 um pore size, MCE filter. The filter is dried on a slide warmer and weighed once again.
A 1 cm2 portion of the filter is cut and placed in a clean silica crucible. Approximately 250 ul of both 20 ppm methyl cellulose solution and isopropyl alcohol are added and ultra-sonicated for 1 minute to remove the deposited sample into suspension. Approximately 3 ul of the suspension is pipetted onto a carbon-coated copper TEM grid and allowed to dry.
Grids are examined in the TEM at 15,000X magnification. Asbestos is identified using morphology, selected area electron diffraction, and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. From TEM examination, a visual area estimation is made of asbestos in the final residue. Percent asbestos in the final residue is then extrapolated using gravimetric records to percent asbestos in the total sample.
