Asbestos and Lead Paint Survey Macrotec Project # 09649 NAFB, Building 423 Page 2

INTRODUCTION

Macrotec Consulting performed an inspection for Asbestos-Containing Building Materials and Lead Based Paint (LBP) between July 21 and July 27, 2009. The inspection was conducted for the project defined as: Renovation of the interior of building 423.

The intent of this inspection was to identify materials containing asbestos or lead paint, within the subject site, that may be impacted during planned renovation activities. Macrotec’s inspection services were conducted at the request of Vincent Bowers of 99th CES/CEOSM.

SCOPE OF SERVICES

Asbestos

Macrotec’s inspection services were conducted to identify the presence of any materials containing asbestos pursuant to the requirements of NAC 618.960 and in accordance with the inspection requirements of the EPA’s: 40 CFR Part 61 National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP).

These regulations outline inspection and abatement requirements for materials containing asbestos, prior to renovation and/or demolition activities.

Lead

Macrotec collected paint chip samples to identify the presence and content level of lead for compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) regulatory requirements pertaining to worker protection and waste disposal.

SITE DESCRIPTION

The subject site was the interior of a one-story building.

Macrotec’s inspection was limited to the location within the site planned for renovation as described above.

SAMPLE COLLECTION METHODOLOGY

An initial walk through of the subject site was conducted to identify homogeneous suspect materials containing asbestos and lead based paint, and their respective locations. This information was then used to develop a sample collection strategy.

Samples were collected by pre-wetting sample areas with water, then cutting or scraping the sample from the substrate with an appropriate sampling tool.

NAFB, Building 423 Page 3

Whenever possible, samples were collected from areas previously damaged or deteriorating. To avoid potential contamination due to unknown asbestos and lead based paint content; no building systems, components, or structures were demolished to obtain samples of potentially hidden materials containing asbestos or lead.

Each suspect bulk sample was sealed in its own zip lock plastic container and labeled with a unique identification number. Sampling tools were individually cleaned before and after each sample was collected to avoid sample cross contamination. Decontamination was accomplished using single use, pre-moistened cloths.

Samples were recorded on Macrotec’s chain-of-custody form. This form accompanied the samples to Triangle Enivronmental Service Center, Inc.

(TESC), located in Moseley, Virginia. The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) accredits TESC for analysis of bulk building material samples for asbestos. The American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accredits Schneider Laboratories Inc. in Richmond Virginia, for analysis of paint chip samples for lead.

SAMPLE ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY

Asbestos

Suspect asbestos samples were subjected to analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM). Bulk sample analysis was conducted in accordance with the EPA’s “Test Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials, EPA/600/R-93/116, 1993.

Lead

To determine lead content, the samples were submitted for analysis. Suspect paint chip samples were subjected to analysis in accordance with the EPA’s Method SW846-7420.

ASBESTOS SAMPLE ASSESSMENT

Macrotec’s inspection of the subject site found Thirty three (33) separate suspect asbestos building materials, of which a total of Sixty five (65) samples were collected and submitted for analysis.

The following table summarizes the materials that were found to be asbestos containing, the locations where the material is located, the material’s friability and its NESHAP classification.

See Appendix B for a listing of painted surfaces, sample locations and results for this project.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Asbestos

US EPA and Nevada Department of Industrial Relations regulations require the removal of all regulated asbestos-containing materials (RACM) prior to any renovation or demolition that could impact or disturb RACM. In accordance with these regulations Macrotec recommends:

Hiring a Certified Asbestos Consultant to develop a project specification based on this investigation and any other additional findings.

Hiring a Nevada licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractor to remove all asbestos materials, which are either regulated or may become regulated during the course of renovation and/or demolition activities.

Hiring a Certified Asbestos Consultant to monitor the removal activities and to provide final clearance inspection reports.

1 Category I nonfriable asbestos-containing material means asbestos containing packings, gaskets, resilient floor covering, and asphalt roofing products containing more than 1% asbestos as determined by

Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) 2 Category II non-friable asbestos-containing material means any material, excluding Category I, containing more than 1 percent asbestos 3 RACM – Regulated Asbestos Containing Material means a material which is friable asbestos and is subject to NAC 618.850 to 618.986, which sets forth provisions for the abatement of asbestos.

NAFB, Building 423 Page 5

Lead

US EPA OSHA regulations require the implementation of worker protection if there is a potential that paint with lead in it will be disturbed during demolition activities. In accordance with these regulations Macrotec recommends:

Hiring an EPA Licensed Lead Consultant to develop a project specification based on this investigation and any other additional findings.

Hiring an EPA Licensed Lead Abatement Contractor to stabilize and/or remove all regulated lead painted materials.

Hiring an EPA Licensed Lead Consultant to monitor the removal activities and provide final clearance inspection reports.

INSPECTION LIMITATIONS

The information contained in this report is limited to those areas and suspect materials found to be visually accessible through reasonable means.

Macrotec conducted a non-destructive survey. No demolition of building materials was conducted to determine the presence of asbestos in wall cavities, chases or other inaccessible areas. Macrotec cannot warrant that these areas do not contain asbestos in locations other than those noted in this report, however, a good faith effort was made to conduct a comprehensive survey.

• Macrotec accepts no liability for additional materials or under reporting of asbestos materials that exist below other floor coverings.

• This report is not represented as, nor is it intended to be, an asbestos abatement scope of work or project specification.

• If suspect materials are discovered during future demolition operations, cease all general work activities which could impact the discovered suspect materials, until confirmation sampling can be conducted.
