1. INTRODUCTION

Durbin Environmental Consultants, Inc. (DEC) was retained by Toland Mizell Molnar, LLC, to conduct a hazardous material assessment for suspect asbestos containing materials and lead-based paint at Building 732, Dobbins Air Reserve Base (ARB), Marietta, Georgia, in support of the Renovate Building 732 Squad Ops Project. Michael F. Durbin, CIH of Durbin

Environmental Consultants, Inc. conducted the hazardous material assessment on March 2, 2016.

Mr. Durbin is currently accredited as an asbestos inspector through an Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) approved training provider.

Bulk sample analysis for suspect asbestos containing materials was performed by Analytical

Environmental Services, Inc., 3080 Presidential Drive, Atlanta, Georgia 30340. Analytical

Environmental Services Inc. is accredited for asbestos fiber analysis through participation in the

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Voluntary Laboratory

Accreditation Program (NVLAP) and is assigned NVLAP Lab Code 102082-0. Analytical

Environmental Services Inc. utilized the analytical method: EPA/600/R-93/116: "Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials” (polarized light microscopy in conjunction with dispersion staining).

Paint Chip Sample analysis was performed via Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) by Analytical Environmental Services, Inc. (AES), 3080 Presidential Drive, Atlanta, GA 30340.

AES is accredited in the analysis of lead-based paint (LBP) samples via the Environmental Lead

Laboratory Accreditation Program (#100671).

2. DISCUSSION AND RESULTS

a. Building 732 - Asbestos

The asbestos survey was conducted in accordance with the sampling protocol established in the

Environmental Protection Agency’s Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA 40

CFR, Part 763) for the materials included in this specific survey (roofing materials were not included as part of this survey). The following provides general information and summarizes the potential impact of asbestos containing material during any scheduled renovation project.

Bulk samples were collected from the following suspect asbestos containing materials during this survey:

1. Blue Carpet Adhesive (HM #1)

2. Blue Covebase and Associated Adhesive (HM #2)

3. Beige Covebase and Associated Adhesive (HM #3)

4. Ceramic Tile (HM #4)

5. Ceiling Tile – 2’ X 2’ Smooth White (HM #5)

6. Ceiling Tile – 2’ X 2’ White with Small Fissures, Gouges and Pinholes (HM #6)

7. Duct Mastic on Foil Duct - White (HM #7)

8. Drywall and Joint Compound (HM #8)

9. Exterior Wall BATT Insulation (HM #9)

10. 12” X 12” Floor Tile and Associated Mastic, Glue, Adhesive – Beige Mottled (HM #10)

11. Grey Sink Mastic (HM #11)

12. Pipe Insulation – Paper Wrapped with Fiberglass (HM #12)

None of the collected bulk sample materials contained asbestos by Polarized Light Microscopy

(PLM) (reference Appendix A for the Asbestos Bulk Sampling Summary followed by the

Laboratory Report and Representative Photographs of Suspect Asbestos Containing Materials).

All samples collected were determined to be non-asbestos by Polarized Light Microscopy

(PLM).

b. Building 732 - Lead

Paint chip samples were collected from the following locations:

1. Beige Paint on Metal Door, Basement, Room 102, Janitor’s Closet (Sample # 732-PC-01)

2. Beige Paint on Metal Door Frame, Basement, Room 102, Janitor’s Closet (Sample # 732-PC-

02)

3. Beige Paint on Metal Structural Column, Basement, Near Bar Area (Sample # 732-PC-03)

4. Beige Paint on Metal Structural Column, 1st Floor, Room 1238, Janitor’s Closet (Sample #

732-PC-04)

5. Beige Paint on CMU Block Wall, 1st Floor, Room 1238, Janitor’s Closet (Sample # 732-PC-

05)

All of the painted surfaces sampled at Building 732 were less than 0.5% lead by weight via

Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. One sample (732-PC-04) had detectable levels of lead via Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry.

Note: Disturbance to any painted item/surface/component shall be done in compliance with the

OSHA Construction Industry Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62). The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Industry Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62) does not reference the HUD definition for LBP. If detectable levels of lead are identified in any painted surface, paint disturbance will fall under the OSHA Lead Standard. OSHA 29 CFR

1926.62 requires employers to perform exposure monitoring for employees whose tasks disturb or potentially disturb lead. The data contained in this survey report should be provided to the

Contractor, prior to the Contractor submitting bids for maintenance, renovation or demolition work. The Contractor shall assume that all painted surfaces may contain some detectable levels of lead for purposes of this project and demonstrate through personal air sampling that airborne lead levels will not exceed 30 micrograms (ug) lead per cubic meter (m3) of air determined as an

8-hour time-weighted average (TWA), for each representative task and trade that disturbs painted surfaces.

Refer to Appendix B for the Paint Chip Sample Summary followed by Laboratory Data and

Representative Photographs of Paint Chip Samples.

c. Building 732 – PCBs/Fluorescent Lights

The construction date of Building 732 was not known at the time of the survey. All ballasts installed or manufactured prior to 1978, should be assumed to contain PCBs unless specifically labeled as having no PCBs.

Additionally, the fluorescent lights and high intensity discharge bulbs (HID) should be assumed to contain mercury.

All mercury vapor light fixtures should be handled in accordance with 40 CFR Part 273

Standards for Universal Waste Management.

3. METHODOLOGY

Asbestos Sampling Protocol

The inspector sampled all suspect ACM in accessible areas. In order for a group of homogeneous materials to be considered as non asbestos containing, all samples from that specific homogeneous material must be analyzed and determined to be non asbestos containing or less than or equal to 1% asbestos.

Representative, randomly selected samples were collected from each homogeneous area of suspect asbestos-containing material. For purposes of this report, the homogeneous area is physically defined as all material with the same visual appearance, texture and hardness.

The minimum number of samples collected for each homogeneous area (or material) is as follows:

1. Friable Spray-applied or Trowel-applied Material

a. Less than or equal to 1000 square feet (S.F.) = 3 samples

b. Greater than 1000 S.F. and less than or equal to 5000 S.F. = 5 samples.

c. Greater than 5000 S. F. = 7 samples

2. Pipe and Duct Insulation

Three samples per homogeneous area of insulation were taken unless it was a confirmation sample.

3. Elbows, Valves, Fittings and Connection Mud

Three representative samples were taken from each representative type of insulated elbow, valve, fitting and connecting mud unless it was a confirmation sample.

4. Boiler, Tanks and Furnaces

A minimum of 3 samples per unit was collected.

5. Patchwork

Patchwork is defined as a patch or repair to existing material based on the following quantities:

a. Surfacing material patches are limited to a maximum of 6 S. F.

b. Pipe and duct insulation patches are limited to a maximum of 6 L. F. or 6

S. F.

c. Boiler, tanks and furnace patches are limited to 6 S.F. maximum.

If the patchwork exceeded the limits prescribed above, the sampling protocol resorted back to the homogeneous area descriptions in items 1-4. If a material qualifies as patchwork, a single sample was collected per patch.

6. Ceiling or Acoustical Tile

a. Minimum of 2 Samples

7. Miscellaneous Friable Material (INCLUDED DRYWALL & JOINT

COMPOUND)

a. 3 Samples

8. Non-friable Material

Non-friable materials for purposes of this survey would include material such as floor tiles and mastic/adhesive, linoleum floor covering, interior/exterior caulks, flooring felt (if still under floor tile), roofing materials, miscellaneous cementitious material such as wall or ceiling panels, caulking or sealant, or window glazing.

a. Minimum of 2 samples

Lead-Based Paint (LBP) Sampling Protocol

Paint chips containing lead concentrations at or above 0.5 percent by weight are considered positive for lead based on EPA and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines for Target Housing and Child Occupied Facilities.

The inspector collected paint chip samples from representative surfaces and components likely to be impacted by any renovation project and compared them against the HUD definition for Lead-

Based Paint (LBP) of 0.5 % by weight. Individual sample results are presented in tabular form in Appendix B.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Industry Standard for

Lead (29 CFR 1926.62) does not reference the HUD definition for LBP. If detectable levels of lead are identified in any painted surface, paint disturbance will fall under the OSHA Lead

Standard. OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 requires employers to perform exposure monitoring for employees whose tasks disturb or potentially disturb lead. The data contained in this survey report should be provided to the Contractor, prior to the Contractor submitting bids for maintenance, renovation or demolition work. The Contractor shall assume that all painted surfaces may contain some detectable levels of lead for purposes of this project and demonstrate through personal air sampling that airborne lead levels will not exceed 30 micrograms (ug) lead per cubic meter (m3) of air determined as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA), for each representative task and trade that disturbs painted surfaces.

4. OBSERVATIONS/CONCLUSIONS

Building 732 - Asbestos

None of the collected bulk sample materials contained asbestos by Polarized Light Microscopy

(PLM) (reference Appendix A for the Asbestos Bulk Sampling Summary followed by the

Laboratory Report and Representative Photographs of Suspect Asbestos Containing Materials).

All samples collected were determined to be non-asbestos by Polarized Light Microscopy

(PLM).

Building 732 - Lead

All of the painted surfaces sampled at Building 732 were less than 0.5% lead by weight via

Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry. One sample (732-PC-04) had detectable levels of lead via Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry.

Note: Disturbance to any painted item/surface/component shall be done in compliance with the

OSHA Construction Industry Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62). The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Construction Industry Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62) does not reference the HUD definition for LBP. If detectable levels of lead are identified in any painted surface, paint disturbance will fall under the OSHA Lead Standard. OSHA 29 CFR

1926.62 requires employers to perform exposure monitoring for employees whose tasks disturb or potentially disturb lead. The data contained in this survey report should be provided to the

Contractor, prior to the Contractor submitting bids for maintenance, renovation or demolition work. The Contractor shall assume that all painted surfaces may contain some detectable levels of lead for purposes of this project and demonstrate through personal air sampling that airborne lead levels will not exceed 30 micrograms (ug) lead per cubic meter (m3) of air determined as an

8-hour time-weighted average (TWA), for each representative task and trade that disturbs painted surfaces.

Refer to Appendix B for the Paint Chip Sample Summary followed by Laboratory Data and

Representative Photographs of Paint Chip Samples.

Building 732 – PCBs/Fluorescent Lights

The construction date of Building 732 was not known at the time of the survey. All ballasts installed or manufactured prior to 1978, should be assumed to contain PCBs unless specifically labeled as having no PCBs.

Additionally, the fluorescent lights and high intensity discharge bulbs (HID) should be assumed to contain mercury.

All mercury vapor light fixtures should be handled in accordance with 40 CFR Part 273

Standards for Universal Waste Management.

5. RECOMMENDATIONS

A. The asbestos containing material survey report should be maintained at the job site during performance of the construction activities.

B. Disturbance of painted surfaces should be performed in accordance with the OSHA Lead

Standard (29 CFR 1926.62). Waste generated by disturbance of painted surfaces should be subjected to Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) testing to determine leachable lead concentrations. If leachable concentrations of lead in construction waste are determined by TCLP testing, those materials should be disposed of in accordance with 40

CFR Part 260 to 271.

C. Remove and dispose of all PCB ballasts in accordance with 40 CFR Part 761 Polychlorinated

Biphenyls (PCBs) Manufacturing, Processing, Distribution in Commerce, and Use

Prohibitions, and other applicable Federal, State and Local Regulations. Note: Based on major renovation projects it appears that the ballasts were post 1978 and the ballast observed were labeled “No PCBs” or “PCB Free”.

D. Remove and dispose of (or recycle) all mercury vapor light fixtures in accordance with 40

CFR Part 273 Standards for Universal Waste Management and other applicable Federal, State and Local Regulations.
