Asbestos Survey Report April 8, 2015
Facility Surveyed:
NASJRAB Ft Worth Building 1630 Ft Worth TX 76127
Survey Area A – Floor Renovation Area 150sf – Single Level
Project: 150403A3
Prepared For:
Nalin Vyas Dept of the Air Force 1215 Military Pkwy Ft Worth TX 76127
This report presents the results of our asbestos survey of the above referenced property performed on April 7, 2015. This report was performed in general accordance with the executed authorization to perform asbestos survey services dated April 3, 2015.
Summary of Findings The results of the laboratory analysis determined that the following suspect asbestos containing building material(s) contained greater than 1% asbestos – the threshold state and federal regulatory compliance:
• Green vinyl floor tile / black mastic / brown floor tile / black mastic (150SF)
Asbestos containing material containing greater than 1% asbestos may only be disturbed or removed by properly licensed and trained asbestos abatement contractors or other regulated processes.
Project Scope The survey includes a small interior floors of Survey Area A – Floor Renovation Area within the building as denoted by the Site Layout and Sample Locations Diagram within this report.
The survey does not include the remainder of the facility.
The purpose of this report is to provide bulk sample collection analysis of the suspect asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) that would be impacted during maintenance, renovation or demolition activities as regulated by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), the Texas Asbestos Health Protection Rules (TAHPR), the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for determination of asbestos content in building materials.
Facility Description The single-level building includes exterior reinforced concrete panel walls, metal frame windows and doors, interior framed walls, and a flat roof on a concrete slab foundation.
http://www.abestosinspectors.com/
Survey Area A – Floor Renovation Area The floor system includes resilient flooring.
Field Inspection Asbestos Inspectors, Inc. conducted an Asbestos Survey of the above referenced property. The survey was conducted by Jack Tucker DSHS licensed Asbestos Inspector (license number 602922).
The survey included observation of the space and collection of bulk samples of suspected asbestos containing building materials (ACBM), which could be impacted by renovation and/or demolition activities.
Load bearing wall demolition or asbestos abatement activities cannot commence until ten (10) working days after notification is provided to the Texas Department of State Health Services Asbestos Division.
The following suspect asbestos-containing building materials were observed and sampled within the scope of this survey.

Utilizing DSHS protocol and generally accepted procedures, a minimum of one (1) sample from the identified exterior areas and three (3) samples from the identified interior areas were taken.
The bulk samples were collected in a manner which reduced the potential for fiber release and exposure.
The bulk samples were placed in secure containers and appropriate chain-of-custody protocols were initiated at this time.
The bulk samples were transported to Crisp Analytical Laboratory for laboratory analysis. Crisp Analytical Laboratory is licensed and authorized by the DSHS as an asbestos laboratory and is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) for selected test methods for bulk asbestos fiber analysis (PLM) and airborne fiber analysis (TEM).
Those materials marked in the ACBM column with Yes indicate materials that contain greater than 1% asbestos and are considered asbestos containing building materials.
Asbestos containing materials may only be disturbed or removed by properly licensed and trained asbestos abatement contractors or other regulated processes.
Definitions Demolition – The wrecking or removal of any load-supporting structural member of a public building or facility or the intentional burning of any public building or facility.
Renovation – Additions to or alterations of a building by removal, repairing, or rebuilding.
Friable Material - materials that when dry can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure, and includes previously nonfriable material after such previously nonfriable material becomes damaged to the extent that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand.
Asbestos-containing Material (ACM) – materials made of asbestos, or having asbestos within them.
Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM) – building materials made of asbestos, or having asbestos within them, including surfacing materials (SM), thermal system insulation (TSI), and miscellaneous materials (MM) that are found in or on interior structural members or other parts of a building.
Category I nonfriable asbestos-containing material (ACM) - asbestos-containing packing, gaskets, resilient floor covering, and asphalt roofing products containing more than one percent asbestos.
Category II nonfriable ACM - any material, excluding Category I nonfriable ACM, containing more than one percent asbestos that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
Regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) - (a) Friable asbestos material, (b) Category I nonfriable ACM that has become friable, (c) Category I nonfriable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or (d) Category II nonfriable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations regulated by this subpart.
Alternatives for Treatment of Asbestos Containing Materials
A public building owner has the following regulated options for the removal or the management of ACBM found in their building:
• Removal (abatement) – This option is the most permanent solution for the treatment of ACBM. It involves the use of regulated methods in the removal and disposal of the ACBM. Removal requires the use of a state licensed Asbestos Contractor under the control of a licensed Asbestos Consultant with appropriate air monitoring and project management or other federally regulated process.
With the exception of certain Category I and II asbestos containing roofing materials and floor tile, all asbestos containing materials must be removed prior to renovation or demolition that would result in a disturbance.
• Removal of Roofing Materials – When a rotating blade roof cutter or equipment that similarly damages the roofing material is used to remove Category I or II non-friable asbestos-containing roofing material, the removal of 5,580sf or more of asbestos-containing roofing material will create at least 160sf of RACM and is subject to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 61, Subpart M, 61.145(a). If the material removed in this manner is less than 5,580sf then the removal is not subject to the NESHAP, except that notification is always required for demolitions.
When the removal of Category I or II non-friable asbestos-containing roofing material or other exterior materials is at least 160sf and the removal methods will crumble, pulverize, reduce to powder, or contaminate with other RACM, the removal is subject to the NESHAP and TAPHR.
When the removal of Category I or II non-friable asbestos-containing roofing material or other exterior materials is less than 160sf or 260lf then the removal is not subject to NESHAP or TAPHR.
However, notification is always required for demolition project.
• Removal of Vinyl Floor Tile - The floor tile and mastics may be removed by a state licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractor or by a qualified contractor using the Resilient Floor Covering Institute’s (RFCI) Recommended Work Practices for Removal of Resilient Floor Covering (issued by the Resilient Floor Covering Institute, 401 East Jefferson Street, Suite 102, Rockville MD 20850) http://www.rfci.com/int_ARF-TechInfo.htm.
This method involves careful removal of the floor tiles and use of specialized solvents to remove the mastics from the concrete sub floor. All removed materials and solvents would be transported and disposed of in an appropriate asbestos landfill. If the floor tile does not contain greater than 1% asbestos, then it can be removed and treated as non-asbestos containing building material. However, the mastics will continue to be treated as asbestos containing building material for removal purposes.
The RFCI method is slower and more labor intensive method than the contained abatement method. However, no barrier containment, negative air pressure filtration, or air monitoring is required, thus saving setup costs and other professional services. If done incorrectly, the RFCI method would have to be halted and a decontamination and non-RFCI state-licensed asbestos abatement begun.
• Management - According to state regulation, the ACBM does not have to be removed as long as the ACBM is undisturbed and undamaged.
For instance, the ACBM may not be subject to drilling or suffer erosion. It may be also be possible to cover the ACBM with another material without disturbing the ACBM, and to allow planned renovations to go forward without an asbestos abatement.
• Management - Operations and Maintenance Program - An Operations and Maintenance (O&M)
Plan may be written describing appropriate actions for surveillance and management of asbestos-containing material, including a manual that records the O&M activities in the public building as long as the asbestos remains in place. The O&M Plan identifies the location of ACBM, recommends maintenance methodologies to avoid disturbing the ACBM, and chronologically logs all ACBM-related maintenance activities.
Estimated costs for developing an Operations and Maintenance Plan have not been determined and are not considered within the scope of this assignment, however please contact us for additional information regarding this issue.
• Management - Encapsulation – This option is a temporary solution which utilizes specialized bonding products that seal the ACBM to prevent asbestos fiber release. The encapsulated ACBM is best suited to stable, undamaged, and unexposed conditions. An Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan documenting periodic inspections will ensure the ACBM has suffered no further damage or deterioration.
• Management - Enclosure – This option is a temporary solution in which involves surrounding the
ACBM with an airtight sealed containment barrier to prevent asbestos fiber release. An Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan documenting periodic inspections will ensure the ACBM has suffered no further damage or deterioration.
General Recommendations
Please consider that any current or future renovation activity may require an Operations and Maintenance Plan to assist in ensuring that no new asbestos containing building materials are introduced into the building, thus facilitating future commercial permitting requirements.
It is recommended that property owners, occupants, employees or maintenance workers are notified of the presence, location and condition of the ACM, if present, and the need to avoid the disturbance of these materials, and the potential health hazards relating to asbestos. Further information can be found at the TDSHS website: www.dshs.state.tx.us/asbestos/default.shtm.
Limitations
Asbestos Survey reports are based on field investigations and analysis of selected samples that were assumed representative of the material within the structure. This report does not in any manner represent a warranty or guarantee; either expressed or implied, that other asbestos containing materials do not exist within the building or within building components that were not accessible or sampled. This Asbestos Survey should not be used to define the work scope for asbestos remediation or abatement.
This report describes only the conditions present at the time of our survey, in the areas surveyed.
Destructive sampling was not performed for access into all wall cavities, attic spaces or other inaccessible areas. The site investigation did not include inspection, sampling, or evaluation of materials outside of the main structure. If remodeled, repair or renovation to the roof system or to other non-assessed area is anticipated, they should be inspected prior to any disturbance of that material.
This report has been prepared on behalf of, and for the exclusive use of the client, solely for use in an asbestos evaluation of the site. This report and the findings contained herein shall not, in part or whole, be disseminated or conveyed to any other party without prior written consent of Asbestos Inspectors, Inc.

Summary of polarizing light microscopy (PLM / Stereomicroscopy bulk asbestos analysis) using the methods described in 40CFR Part 763
Appendix E to Subpart E (Interim and EPA 600 / R-93 / 116 (Improved). The sample is first viewed with the aid of stereomicroscopy. Numerous liquid slide preparations are created for analysis under the polarized microscope where identifications and quantifications are preformed. Calibrated liquid refractive oils are used as liquid mouting medium. These oils are used for identification (dispersion staining). A calibrated visual estimation is reported, should any asbestiform mineral be present. Other techniques such as acid washing are used in conjugation with refractive oils for detection of smaller quantities of asbestos. All asbestos percentages are based on calibrated visual estimation traceable to NIST standards for regulated of asbestos. Traceability to measurement and calibration is achieved by using known amounts and types of asbestos from standards where analyst and laboratory accuracy are measured. As little as 0.001% asbestos can be detected in favorable samples, while detection in unfavorable samples may approach the detection limit of 0.50% (well above the laboratory definition of trace).
Vermiculite containing samples may have trace amounts of actinolite-tremolite, where not found be PLM should be analyzed using TEM methods and / or water separation techniques. Suspected actinolite/vermiculite presence will be indicated through the sample comment section of this report.
Fibrous talc containing samples may even contain a related asbestos fiber known as anthophyllite. Under certain conditions the same fiber may actually contain both talc and anthophyllite (a phenomenon called intergrowth). Again, TEM detection methods are recommended. CA Labs PLM report comments will denote suspected amounts of asbestiform anthophyllite with talc, where further analysis is recommended.
Some samples (floor tiles, surfacings, etc.) may contain fibers too small to be delectable by PLM analysis and should be analyzed by TEM bulk protocols.
A "trace asbestos" will be reported if the analyst observes far less than 1% asbestos. CA Labs defines "trace asbestos" as a few fibers detected by the analyst in several preparations and will indicate as such under these circumstances.
Quantification of <1% will actually be reported as <=1% (allowable variance close to 1% is high). Such results are ideal for point counting, and the technique is mandatory for friable samples (NESHAP, Nov. 1990 and clarification letter 8 May 1991) under 1% percent asbestos and the "trace asbestos". In order to make all initial PLM reports issued from CA Labs NESHAP compliant, all <1% asbestos results (except floor tiles) will be point counted at no additional charge.
CA Labs is accredited by the National Voluntary Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for selected test methods for airborne fiber analysis (TEM), and for bulk asbestos fiber analysis (PLM). CA Labs is also accredited by AIHA LAP, LLC. in the PLM asbestos field of testing for Industrial Hygiene. All analysts have a college degree in a natural science (geology, biology, or environmental science) or are recognized by a state professional board in one these disciplines .Extensive in-house training programs are used to augment education background of the analyst. The group leader of polarized light has received supplemental McCrone Research training for asbestos identification. Analysis performed at Crisp Analytical Labs, LLC 1929 Old
