1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On January 30, 2013, a survey for asbestos containing building materials (ACM) was conducted at the United States Border Station (USBS), Building 4 J&L Secondary Termination at Interstate 35 in Laredo, Texas 78040. The GSA building number is TX0323.

Construction of the building was completed January 1, 1982. The survey was conducted in accordance with the Memorandum of Agreement and Specifications between the General Services Administration (GSA) and the Federal Occupational Health Service (FOHS).

The objective of the investigation was to assess the presence of asbestos in the building.

The building is scheduled for demolition as part of a major project at the border station. A total of one hundred twenty-one (121) bulk samples of suspect asbestos containing building materials were collected during the survey and submitted for laboratory analysis for asbestos content. Three types of materials were assumed to be asbestos containing because they could not be sampled due to limited access or it would have been too destructive. The following materials were found to be asbestos containing or assumed to be asbestos containing:

2.0 INTRODUCTION

The United States Border Station (USBS), Building 4, J&L Secondary Termination at Interstate35 in Laredo, Texas (Webb County) was surveyed for asbestos containing materials (ACM) by visual inspection and bulk sampling by an accredited inspector on January 30, 2013. This survey was conducted in response to the client’s request for the FOHS to perform the survey under the Memorandum of Agreement and Specifications between the client and Federal Occupational Health Service (FOHS). Scott Fontenarosa, a certified asbestos-building inspector, performed the asbestos survey.

The purpose of the survey was to perform a building inspection according to 40 CFR Part 763 Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act - AHERA protocols and EPA 40 CFR Part 61 National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants – NESHAP protocols. A partially destructive sampling method was implemented during the survey. The survey included visual identification and representative sampling of existing and accessible suspect homogeneous building materials. In addition, an assessment of condition, friability, and estimated quantity of material was made.

Homogeneous areas were grouped building-wide and sampled using a building–wide random sampling plan. A thorough attempt was made to access all areas for visual and physical verification of suspect ACM. However, due to the partial destructive nature of this survey and because some areas of the building may have been inaccessible, FOHS does not guarantee that all ACM in the building were located and identified.

The inspection was based on state-of-the-science practices and current regulations in effect at the time of the survey.

3.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION

4.0 FINDING SUMMARY OF ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS

Approximately forty (40) homogeneous areas (HA) were identified. The exact number may not be determined because some HA might be layered or associated with another HA that may not have been explicitly distinguished by themselves. For example, mixtures of different floor mastics may be given the same HA number.

Eight (8) HA contained asbestos (>1.0% asbestos), four (4) were assumed to contain asbestos, and twenty-eight (28) HA did not contain detectable asbestos (zero, ND, less than 1% or equal to 1% asbestos).

5.0 SAMPLING PROCEDURES

5.1 Survey Procedures

The asbestos survey involved an asbestos assessment comprised of the following three subtasks: Visual Inspection and Sampling, Laboratory Analysis, and Condition Assessment.

The activities performed in each task are detailed in the following paragraphs.

Visual Inspection and Sampling: The survey for asbestos-containing materials (ACM) included visual observation of the exterior, roof, interior surfaces, finishes, areas above suspended ceilings, and mechanical areas.

Laboratory Analysis: All samples were submitted to FOH’s, National Environmental Reference Laboratory, Dallas, Texas and were analyzed by progressive Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). Polarized Light Microscopy is the EPA recommended analytical method for determining asbestos content in bulk samples.

Condition Assessment: A condition assessment was performed on all suspect asbestos building materials collected. Building materials were categorized by friability, condition, and potential for disturbance. Consideration was given to the process of demolition and renovation and the impact of the forces upon the ACM. The friability assessment was the basis for our recommendations.

The ACM was categorized as required by the National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). The NESHAP Final Rule Revision (EPA 40 CFR Part 61) dated November 20, 1990, includes several modifications and additions. The modification, which greatly affects abatement alternatives, was the re-categorization of ACM. These are categorized as follows.

Friable: means any material that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry.

Category I Non-Friable ACM: means packing, gaskets, resilient floor coverings and roofing materials that contain more than one-percent asbestos.

Category II Non-Friable ACM: means any material, excluding Category I ACM that contains more than one-percent asbestos, and is not friable.

Regulated ACM (RACM): included all friable ACM; Category I ACM that will be or has been subject to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading; Category II ACM that has become friable;

and Category II ACM that has a high probability of becoming, or has crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.

These revisions require experienced interpretation from the survey or along with input from the owner’s representative planning the renovation or demolition. This is necessary in order to determine the probability that the subsequent forces will make non-friable ACM become friable.

Building 4 J&L Secondary GSA Building # TX0323 Termination a I35 Laredo, Texas 78040

Prior to conducting the ACM survey, a thorough field observation inspection was conducted to determine appropriate sampling procedures for the building, and to ensure representative assessment was made in collecting the agreed upon samples. The ACM survey consisted of identification and sampling of suspect asbestos-containing materials located in the building. An assessment of material condition and an estimation of material quantities were made at the time of sample collection.

The following protocol was used in the survey:

Materials were divided into homogeneous areas;

Representative samples of each homogeneous area of miscellaneous, surfacing, and thermal system insulation materials were collected;

A minimum of three samples of each homogeneous miscellaneous area was collected.

A minimum of three samples of each homogeneous surfacing area was collected. A minimum of three samples of each homogeneous thermal system insulation material was collected. Additional samples were collected based on square feet or different system type, such as patch material;

After collection, each sample was sealed zip-lock plastic bags and labeled. A sample log was maintained which identified sample number, sample material type, location, and area description location.

5.2 ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

Bulk samples collected by FOHS were analyzed by the National Environmental Reference Laboratory in Denver, Colorado. Samples analyzed having identified asbestos are reported by percent asbestos range and type(s) of asbestos present. Samples analyzed having no identified asbestos are reported as “none detected” (ND). The methods used for this evaluation were in compliance with the guidelines established by EPA in its Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials (EPA-600/R-93

6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

The recommendations can be applied to basically two classifications: 1) abatement, or 2) managing in place through an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program. Abatement is generally accomplished by encapsulating the material, enclosing the material, encasing the ACM, or removing the material. Managing asbestos in place includes implementing, maintaining, and adhering to an O&M Program.

Although it is generally more cost effective for the short term to manage asbestos in place, the material should be documented, maintained and periodically inspected. This alternative can be an effective alternative, but the ACM remains in the building. Prior to demolition or renovation of a building, all friable and many non-friable ACMs must be removed from the affected area.

Building 4 J&L Secondary GSA Building # TX0323 Termination at I35 Laredo, Texas 78040

Based upon the field investigation, the following hazard assessment ranking table, and analytical laboratory results of the identified suspect material, the following actions are recommendations:

Recommendations for Specific Homogeneous Areas

Floor Tile (FT4) Hazard Rank 1 Abatement Priority 7 This HA consists of 12” x 12” off white tan mottled vinyl floor tile. The tile contains 1-4% chrysotile asbestos. This floor tile is located in Room 406 tool/equipment, Room 405 personal effects storage room, and Room 416. There is approximately 600 square feet of this material. The floor tile is non-friable and in good condition. The floor tile could present a health hazard potential to building occupants if there was a disturbance causing fiber release. This asbestos containing floor tile should be placed in an Operations and Maintenance program until renovation activities, change in condition, or planned demolition requires removal.

Floor Tile Mastic, Black (FTM4) Hazard Rank 1 Abatement Priority 7 This HA consists of black mastic and is associated with FT4. The mastic contains 3-6% chrysotile asbestos. This mastic is located in Room 406 tool/equipment, Room 405 personal effects storage room, and Room 416. There is approximately 600 square feet of this material. The mastic could present a health hazard potential to building occupants if there was a disturbance causing fiber release. This asbestos containing mastic should be placed in an Operations and Maintenance program until renovation activities, change in condition, or planned demolition requires removal.

Sink Undercoating, White (SC1) Hazard Rank 1 Abatement Priority 7 This HA consists of white/magenta sink undercoating. The sink undercoating contains 4- 8% chrysotile asbestos and is located under the sink in Room 410 CPT Passenger Chief.

There is approximately 4 square feet of this material. The sink undercoating could present a health hazard potential to building occupants if there was a disturbance causing fiber release. This asbestos containing mastic should be placed in an Operations and Maintenance program until renovation activities, change in condition, or planned demolition requires removal.
