ASBESTOS INSPECTION OF BUILDING 2116

FORT EUSTIS, VIRGINIA

INTRODUCTION

Background and Purpose

There has been a growing public awareness of the link between the inhalation of asbestos fibers and various diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, lung, and other cancers. As a result, the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA 40 CFR Part 763) for schools grades K through 12 was established by EPA.

The necessary components of an AHERA inspection require the accredited inspector to visually inspect and assess the condition of all known or assumed friable asbestos containing building materials (ACBM); to visually inspect non - friable ACBM and touch it to determine friability, and to identify homogeneous areas of friable materials.

EPA’s National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) require thorough inspections for asbestos in structures before the renovation or demolition of those structures.

Virginia law requires that if the initial building permit was issued prior to January 1, 1985, an asbestos inspection must be performed prior to the local authorities issuing a building permit.

In order to comply with NESHAPS, buildings to be renovated or demolished must be thoroughly inspected for asbestos containing building materials. Marine Chemist Service, Inc.

follows the AHERA sampling protocol for interior surveys and the Virginia standard for roof surveys.

The purpose of this survey was to provide information for this property concerning the location and type of accessible and/or visible asbestos containing materials prior to renovation.

In compliance with Virginia Regulations, Marine Chemist Service Inc. performed an asbestos survey of Building 2116, located at Fort Eustis, Virginia on September 13, 2017.

Guernsey Tingle - Asbestos Report

General Information

Marine Chemist Service, Inc. was hired by Kevin Panchision of Guernsey Tingle to conduct an asbestos inspection and bulk sampling for suspect asbestos-containing building materials of Building 2116, located at Fort Eustis, Virginia.

Authorization

Authorization to perform this testing was provided by Kevin Panchision, Guernsey Tingle on August 10, 2017. The area was unoccupied at the time of the inspection.

Warranty

This visual inspection and laboratory report has been prepared in accordance with AHERA and Virginia requirements and current accepted professional practices. A minimum number of bulk asbestos samples were collected to determine the presence or absence of asbestos. This inspection has been performed to provide the client with information concerning the presence of accessible and/or exposed suspect asbestos containing building materials. In compliance with the owner’s wishes, destructive testing was not performed. This inspection documents conditions at the time of the inspection only. No other warranties are implied or expressed.

SURVEY METHODS

Inspection Methods

The asbestos survey was performed by Virginia licensed asbestos inspectors. An initial visual walk through inspection was performed to identify suspect asbestos containing materials and homogeneous areas.

All buildings that are part of this survey did not contain crawlspaces. All buildings are slab on grade construction.

Sampling Methods

The Virginia licensed asbestos inspector sampled the identified suspect materials within the homogeneous areas following the visual inspection. Sampling was not performed on any inaccessible materials and did not involve destructive testing of building components. Sample locations were selected randomly but also taken at less visible locations to minimize visible damage.

LABORATORY METHODS

Analysis Methods

The bulk sample was first visually observed and described. The sample was mounted onto a slide, covered with dispersion staining oil and a cover slip, and observed under a polarized light microscope (PLM). The asbestos and non-asbestos materials in the sample are identified by this method.

The PLM microscopist estimates the amounts of asbestos and non-asbestos components by determining visually the relative volume of each to the total volume of the sample.

ASBESTOS INSPECTION

Document Review and On-Site Survey

Blueprints were provided for the inspection. In addition, a sketch was made of the area to indicate sample/asbestos material locations.

Identification of Suspect Asbestos Containing Materials

A visual inspection was performed on the suspect asbestos containing material found in the survey areas. The suspect asbestos containing materials are as follows:

1. Roof Membrane 2. Roof Curb Flashing

3. Roof Vent 4. Roof Parapet Flashing

5. Door Caulk 6. Window Caulk

7. Window Glaze 8. Boiler Insulation

9. Tank Insulation 10. Pipe Sealer

11. Block Sealer 12. Concrete

Bulk Sampling

Bulk sampling was performed on all suspect asbestos-containing materials found in the areas and the minimum number of samples were taken as required in the AHERA Standards.

Bulk samples were taken penetrating all layers of the material. The samples were at least one cubic centimeter and were placed in a sealed container at the time of collection. All precautions were taken to prevent exposure to those present in or around the facility during the collection of samples. All sampling locations were patched with an encapsulant after the sampling was complete.

Samples listed below are grouped into homogeneous areas. Homogeneous areas are areas, which are uniform by color, texture, construction/application date, and general appearance.

Some sample results in the % asbestos column may be displayed in this report with a slash between two numbers, (#/#). The first number represents the first material listed in the laboratory report under the material location/description and the second number represents the second material listed.

When N/A is placed in the friable category it means the sample tested negative - (0) or less than one percent - (<1%) for asbestos and the friable description does not apply.

Samples were analyzed utilizing Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining by a NVLAP accredited laboratory (Marine Chemist Service, Inc. NVLAP Lab Code 200628-0).

The results are in section 6.

Guernsey Tingle - Asbestos Report

Comments

1. The following sampled materials tested positive for asbestos:

a. Curb Flashing (Upper Roof)

b. Window Caulk (Exterior)

2. Standard practice for asbestos/nonasbestos material classification is if one sample of a material tests positive, all of the corresponding material throughout the building is assumed to be of the same composition.

3. The Curb Flashing on the Upper Roof is considered a Category I Nonfriable material

(unless rendered friable) and may be removed in a Class II work area by properly trained and qualified personnel

4. The Window Caulk on the Exterior is considered a Category II Nonfriable material

(unless rendered friable) and may be removed in a Class II work area by properly trained and qualified personnel.

5. Asbestos might be found within walls, ceiling and or pipe chases during the renovation or demolition of the building. If any suspect materials are found they should treated as asbestos or tested for asbestos.
