Re: Asbestos and Lead Sampling Air Force Research Laboratory B-3 Building- C4 Restrooms and adjacent areas Pre-Renovation Survey Colden Project No. 18841

Dear Mr. Heukrath:

This letter and attachments will serve as our final report for the referenced project.

1.0 Introduction

Colden Corporation was retained by N.K. Bhandari to conduct pre-renovation asbestos and lead based paint sampling in the C4 bathrooms and adjacent areas at Building B-3 at the Air Force Research Laboratory, Rome Research Site located in Rome, New York. The areas surveyed were selected by N.K. Bhandari. Materials to be sampled were identified by Colden Corporation.

Joseph Cantone, CSP, an Industrial Hygienist with Colden, conducted the survey on October 24, 2018. A copy of his New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) asbestos inspector certificate and Colden’s NYSDOL asbestos license are provided in Attachment A.

2.0 Analytical Methods

Asbestos samples were submitted to and analyzed by AmeriSci Laboratories of New York, New York. The laboratory is certified for bulk asbestos analysis by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) under the Environmental Laboratory Approval Program (ELAP). The Laboratory’s ELAP number is 11480. Friable bulk samples were analyzed for asbestos content using polarized light microscopy (PLM) in accordance with ELAP PLM Analysis Protocol

198.1. Non-friable asbestos samples were analyzed by PLM and by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) in accordance with ELAP PLM/TEM Analysis Protocol 198.6/198.4.

Mr. Dan Heukrath NK Bhandari

Building B-3

EMSL of Cinnaminson, New Jersey analyzed the paint chip sample for total lead content in accordance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Analytical Method OSHA ID-125G and EPA Analytical Method SW-846 6010C. The Laboratory is accredited by the AIHA (Laboratory ID Number 100194).

3.0 Results and Discussion

Sampling results are summarized and discussed in the following sections. A copy of the laboratory report is provided in Attachment B.

3.1 Asbestos Sampling Results

Asbestos sampling results are summarized in Table 1. Material conditions were listed as good, damaged, or significantly damaged in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) definitions noted below.

• Good – Material with no visible damage, or showing only very limited damage.

• Damaged – Less than one-tenth of the material is damaged if the damage is evenly distributed, or one-quarter of the material is damaged and the damage is localized.

• Significantly Damaged – One-tenth or more of the material is damaged if the damage is evenly distributed or one-quarter or more of the material is damaged and the damage is localized.

The EPA and the NYSDOL define Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) as materials that contain greater than 1 percent asbestos.

As indicated in Table 2, the yellow paint applied to the cinder blocks contains lead.

Employees must be protected from lead exposure in accordance with the OSHA Lead in Construction Standard, 29 CFR 1926.62. Copies of letters of interpretations issued by OSHA on bulk paint sampling are provided in Attachment C. Please note the following:

• OSHA does not recognize the EPA and the HUD definition of lead-based paint (paints containing lead in concentrations of 0.5 percent or greater). In a 1999 standard interpretation, OSHA states:

“The lead-in-construction standard was intended to apply to any detectable concentration of lead in paint, as even small concentrations of lead can result in unacceptable employee exposures depending upon the method of removal and other work place conditions. Since these conditions can vary greatly, the lead-in-construction standard was written to require monitoring or the use of historical or objective data to ensure that employee exposures do not exceed the action level.”

• In a 2003 standard interpretation regarding the use of Lead Check or Lead Alert Test

Kits, OSHA states: “OSHA does not consider any method that relies solely on the analysis of bulk materials or surface content of lead to be acceptable for safely predicting employee exposure to airborne contaminants.”

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (315) 445-0847.

Sincerely, Colden Corporation

Joseph Cantone, CSP Project Manager

March 1, 1999

Mr. Hsin H. Chou Project Manager Panacea Environmental Services 7699 9th Street, Suite 102 Buena Park, California 90621

Dear Mr. Chou:

Thank you for your letter of April 22, 1998, regarding the concentration of lead in paint which triggers the lead-in-construction standard, 29 CFR 1926.62. We regret this delay in responding.

The lead-in-construction standard was intended to apply to any detectable concentration of lead in paint, as even small concentrations of lead can result in unacceptable employee exposures depending upon on the method of removal and other workplace conditions. Since these conditions can vary greatly, the lead-in-construction standard was written to require exposure monitoring or the use of historical or objective data to ensure that employee exposures do not exceed the action level. Historical data may be applied to all construction tasks involving lead. Objective data was intended to apply to all tasks other than those listed under paragraph 1926.62(d)(2) of the standard.

OSHA does not consider X-ray fluorescence (XRF) to be an acceptable method of analysis. As stated in your letter, XRF analyzers are generally considered accurate when concentrations of lead in paint exceed 1 mg/cm2. For the purposes of occupational health, these levels are considered substantial and may easily present an exposure hazard. Without having conducted monitoring, or without the benefit of historical or objective data, the employer has no assurance of the employee's exposure.

Other regulatory agencies, such as Housing and Urban Development, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) have designated levels of lead in paint, below which they consider the paint to be non-lead containing. The missions of these agencies differ from OSHA's, and for that reason, OSHA cannot recognize these levels as safe under workplace situations.

OSHA has recognized, however, that for certain workplace conditions, application of objective data to certain tasks listed in paragraph 1926.62(d)(2)(i)(A) may be warranted (specifically, power tool cleaning with dust collection systems, manual demolition of structures, manual scraping, and manual sanding). For these applications only, we have adopted the CPSC threshold under a very limited set of conditions.

Specifically, when a paint contains trace amounts of lead (e.g., 0.06% and below, as defined by the Consumer Products Safety Commission as non-lead containing, 16 CFR 1303), the employer may determine the concentration of lead in the air (i.e., employee exposure) by multiplying the total airborne concentration of dust times the percentage of lead in the paint. For example, if the concentration of total dust is 15 mg/m3 and the concentration of lead in paint is 0.06%, the airborne lead level will be (0.06%) x (15 mg/mm3) x (1000 µg/mg) = 9 µg/m3. Consequently, the airborne concentration of dust would have to be 50 mg/m3 before the action level of 30 µg/m3 would be reached. Arithmetically, this would read, (50 mg/m3 airborne paint) x (0.06% lead) x (1000 µg/mg) = 30 µg/m3 airborne lead.

OSHA wants to stress that this does not set 0.06% as a lower threshold for the concentration of lead in paint which would exempt the employer from the requirements of the standard. The employer must still follow all requirements of the standard and conduct an exposure assessment for the tasks involving lead. Additionally, we are not stating that the Consumer Products Safety Commission level is a "safe" concentration of lead in paint, since all tasks listed under 1926.62(d)(2) frequently entail exposures above the action level, even at extremely low concentrations of lead. We are simply stating that the application of objective data may be applied to the above-specified tasks in paragraph 1926.62(d)(2)(i)(A), under the conditions stated herein. As these are less aggressive, dust-generating methods of removal, this type of objective data may reasonably be applied.

We trust that this satisfactorily answers your concerns. If we may be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact the [Office of Health Enforcement] on 202-693-2190.

Mr. Charles Hyder, CIH 28 Bartlett Drive Schwenksville, PA 19473

Dear Mr. Hyder, This is in response to your letter of March 4, 2003, to Mr. Richard Fairfax, Director of Enforcement Programs for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). You asked about the acceptability of rhodizonate-based spot test kits for determining the presence or absence of lead in paint coatings. Your letter was forwarded to the Directorate of Science, Technology and Medicine for response. You wanted to know, specifically, whether a negative finding, obtained using either the Lead Check or Lead Alert test kits, would be sufficient to conclude that lead was not present for the purpose of complying with OSHA's Lead Standards, 29 CFR 1910.1025 and/or 29 CFR 1926.62.

OSHA's mission is to provide a safe and healthful working environment for American workers. To accomplish this task in the area of occupational exposure to lead, we require the employer to perform an initial determination which requires the employer to monitor workers' exposure unless the employer has objective or historical data that can reliably demonstrate that no employee will be exposed to lead at or above the action level. OSHA's does not consider any method that relies solely on the analysis of bulk materials or surface content of lead to be acceptable for safely predicting employee exposure to airborne contaminants. Without air monitoring results or without the benefit of historical or objective data (including air sampling which clearly demonstrates that the employee cannot be exposed at or above the action level during any process, operation, or activity), as required by 29 CFR 1910.1025 or 29 CFR 1926.62, the employer cannot rule out the possibility of excess worker exposure to airborne lead.

I trust that this satisfactorily answers your concerns. If we may be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact [the Office of Science and Technology Assessment at (202) 693-2095].

Sincerely, Ruth McCully Director Directorate of Science, Technology and Medicine

Dear Mr. Fairfax, Is the use of Rodizonate-based spot test kit acceptable for determining the presence or absence of lead in a paint coating in order to comply with 29 CFR 1926.62? In 1994 the OSHA Technical Center evaluated two commercially available kits:
