Coleman Engineering Company 1 Lead and Asbestos Inspections United States Forest Service Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest July 2017

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background

Coleman Engineering Company (CEC) has been retained by the United States Forest Service (USFS) to perform inspections for potential Lead-Based Paint (LBP) and Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) on structures throughout the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Beginning on July 10, 2017, and continuing through July 19, 2017, inspections were conducted on vault toilets (VT), warehouses, garages, storage sheds, houses, a shelter, and an office building.

Demolition for the majority of these buildings, if not all, is up for consideration.

1.2 Lead Based Paint Information

The Wisconsin Administrative Code (DHS 163) definition of LBP will be referenced in this report where a potential lead poisoning hazard may be present. The Wisconsin Administrative Code defines LBP as having a surface concentration of lead that is more than 0.7 milligrams of lead per square centimeter of surface or more than 0.06% of lead per weight of paint chip sample.

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint in Housing (HUD Guidelines) defines LBP as having a surface concentration of lead that is at or greater than 1 milligram of lead per square centimeter of surface or 0.5% or greater of lead per weight of a paint chip sample.

1.3 Lead Inspection Procedures

In July of 2017, CEC conducted inspections for sampling LBP among building materials present at each facility. Paint chip samples (1-inch square) were collected from each building to represent each homogenous area. Multiple paint chip samples were taken to represent a homogenous material with a large surface area. Sample locations and quantities were decided in-field by the Inspector according to the surface area, date placed, and color of each homogenous material.

Representative samples of potential LBP were collected and shipped under chain-of-custody (COC) protocol to International Asbestos Testing Laboratories, Inc. (iATL) in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) approved laboratory. The sample lists and descriptions are presented in Appendix B. The analytical results are attached in Appendix C.

1.4 Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) Information

ACM is a material containing naturally occurring minerals such as chrysotile, amosite, and crocidolite. These minerals have been used in fire-proofing building materials for its insulating properties and also in many other building materials for its structural properties. These materials become a hazard only when friable particles are released into the atmosphere from mechanical

Coleman Engineering Company 2 Lead and Asbestos Inspections

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest July 2017 damage. Inhalation of friable particles has resulted in various respiratory issues, such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Although these diseases have 15-40 year latency periods, in extreme cases, they have led to death. ACM may include, but is not limited to, floor and ceiling tile and mastic, drywall, transite paneling, roofing and siding shingles and felt paper, insulation, and pipe wrap. Production of most ACM was discontinued in the United States in 1977, but not in other countries. However, existing stockpiles were used in construction thereafter. There remains the potential for some stockpiled building materials, or ACM, from other nations to be incorporated into current premises. In non-construction materials, such as brake pads in vehicles, the use of asbestos is still common ground for its desirable qualities.

The facilities inspected would potentially be subject to three Federal Regulations; Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) Title III Community Right to Know, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 29 CFR Part 1926.1101 Occupational Exposure to Asbestos, also known as the Construction Standard, and the EPA National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), 40 CFR, Part 61, Subpart M. OSHA pertains to any work performed on ACM, while NESHAP applies to demolition or renovation of any institutional, commercial, industrial, or residential structure or installation, but excludes residential structures of four (4) dwelling units or less. The renovation must include 160 square feet or 260 linear feet of friable or potential friable ACM for NESHAP to apply. The definition of an ACM, as used by NESHAP is, “any material containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined by using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). If the asbestos content is less than 10 percent, verify the asbestos content by point counting using PLM” (NESHAP). Point counting involves the actual counting of asbestos fibers viewed using PLM and a grid as opposed to a visual estimate.

There are two basic types of ACM: friable and non-friable. Non-friable is any non-Category I material consisting of more than 1 percent asbestos determined by PLM and, when dry, cannot be crushed or reduced to powder material by hand pressure. Friable ACM is any material containing more than 1 percent asbestos by PLM and can be reduced to a fine powder by hand pressure when dry. Because friable ACM is more easily damaged, it is more susceptible to release asbestos fibers and, therefore, is generally of greater concern.

NESHAP breaks non-friable ACM into two categories; Category I includes packing, gaskets, resilient floor coverings, and asphalt roof products, while ACM Category II includes all other non-friable ACM.

ACM, which is of concern and is regulated ACM (RACM) under NESHAP, includes all “friable ACM, Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable, Category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or Category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations” (NESHAP 40 CFR 61). This definition of RACM implies a high potential for occupants or operators to inhale airborne fibers.

1.5 ACM Inspection Procedures

In July of 2017, CEC conducted inspections for sampling suspect ACM among building materials present at multiple facilities.

Representative samples of potential ACM (PACM) were collected and shipped, under COC protocol, for analysis by iATL in Mount Laurel, New Jersey; an NVLAP approved laboratory.

The sample lists and descriptions are presented in Appendix B. The analytical results can be found in Appendix D.

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest July 2017 copper tiles but were removed by the time of the inspection. However, the tile backing still exists and is a transite material. The exterior walls of the north corner are painted brown, whereas the window frames, door frames, porch roof supports and roof eaves are painted in white paint. Also, the floor of the screened in porch was painted gray. The approximate area of the DAH is nearly 1,340 square feet. Photographs are attached in Appendix E.

Beaver Dam Lodge Dining Hall

The Beaver Dam Lodge Dining Hall was constructed in 1928. It was built using wood for the frame, exterior siding, and interior walls. Asphalt shingles were used to cover the roof. Much of the northwestern portion of the ceiling was caving, therefore, materials were not inspected that were used to seal the seam between the chimney and roof. White paint coats the exterior trim, window and door frames, and the roof eaves. The Dining Hall includes a store room, pantry, kitchen, dining room, and a screened-in porch. Because of the failed roof supports, the pantry and store room were not sampled. The kitchen floor and a portion of the dining room floor are lined with vinyl tiles adhered by mastic to the wood floor. The other part of the dining room floor is covered by vinyl sheet flooring. Transite boards separate the kitchen ovens and the chimney of the firebrick oven from adjacent walls. This transite board is assumed to contain asbestos. The area of the Dining Hall is approximately 990 square feet. Photographs are attached in Appendix E.

Beaver Dam Lodge Shed

Constructed in 1928, the Beaver Dam Lodge Shed is uninsulated and approximately 290 square feet. It was built with wood, asphalt shingles and stands on a dirt floor. The wood siding is treated with creosote, and the asphalt shingles are underlain with roofing paper. The eaves and trim pieces are painted white. Photographs are displayed in Appendix E.

Beaver Dam Lodge Maid’s Cabin #1

In 1930, the Beaver Dam Lodge Maid’s Cabin #1 was built with wood, partially on a concrete foundation, and asphalt shingles were used to cover the roof. The building consists of a laundry room, two bedrooms, a foyer, and a bathroom. The wood clapboard siding is treated with creosote, and the eaves, window frames, door frames, and trim pieces are painted white. The Laundry Room has solid ceiling tiles, yellow painted walls, and floor tiles. The interior doors of the cabin are painted light pink, whereas the interior walls of both bedrooms are painted white.

The flooring is comprised of wood tongue and groove planks adhered by nails and mastic. The area of Maid’s Cabin #1 is roughly 540 square feet. Photographs are presented in Appendix E.

Beaver Dam Lodge Garage

In 1932, the Beaver Dam Lodge Garage was constructed with a wood frame, wood channel rustic siding, asphalt shingles, and sits on a concrete floor. A wall separates the building into two units. The southernmost unit is a garage area and the northern room is used for storage. The Garage is uninsulated, and the framing and trusses are exposed, however, the storage unit has

Beaver Dam Lodge Storage Building

Also built in 1932, the Beaver Dam Lodge Storage Building is approximately 120 square feet.

Materials used during construction include wood framing and siding, asphalt shingles, and it sits on a concrete foundation. The exterior walls are painted brown while the trim, eaves, and door frame are painted white. The Storage Building contains the electrical circuit panels that regulate the rest of the Beaver Dam Lodge Buildings. The insulation on the wiring in the Storage Building, as well as the other buildings, is assumed to contain asbestos. Photographs are displayed in Appendix E.

Beaver Dam Lodge Maid’s Cabin #2

Constructed in 1936, the Beaver Dam Lodge Second Maid’s Cabin is a 120 square foot shack.

Built with wood siding and floors, and asphalt roofing, the cabin stands on cinder blocks at each corner. The exterior walls were once green, but have faded with age. The interior face of the door is green, and the wall board on the interior walls is painted white. Photographs are attached in Appendix E.

2.6 Lakewood Property Building

The Lakewood Property Building is a shed nestled behind the Storage Garage of the Lakewood- Laona Ranger District Office Building. Within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, the District Offices are located at 15085 State Highway 32, Lakewood, WI 54138. The coordinates for the shed are 45.295483, -88.515219. CEC mobilized to the Lakewood Property Building to conduct an inspection on July 17, 2017. General location maps and site plans are presented in Appendix A.

In 1990, the Lakewood Property Building was built with wood, asphalt shingles, and fiberglass bag insulation. The floor is comprised of sheets of plywood and the walls are fitted with Oriented Strand Board (OSB). Electrical components exist on an interior wall including a circuit/switch box, an electrical meter, wiring, and conduit wrapping around the interior walls.

Because the building materials used were relatively new, the building was not sampled for potential ACM. However, it was inspected for ACM, but the materials were deemed not to contain asbestos. The area of the shed is approximately 85 square feet by 8.0 feet in height.

On a side note, hornets were observed flying in and out of a hole in the wall near the door.

Photographs of the Lakewood Property Building are attached in Appendix E.

2.7 Eagle River Buildings

The Eagle River Buildings consist of a Bunkhouse with a detached garage located at 4369 Ranger Road, Eagle River, WI 54521. The facility serves as living quarters for USFS

The coordinates of the Bunkhouse and Garage are 45.916411, -89.229572 and 45.91626, -89.229561, respectively. CEC mobilized to the Eagle River Buildings to perform inspections on July 18, 2017. However, because the buildings were occupied, a limited inspection was conducted to prevent occupants from being exposed to hazardous airborne asbestos conditions. General location maps and site plans are presented in Appendix A.

Eagle River Bunkhouse

In 1936, the Bunkhouse was framed with wood; has asphalt shingles, updated vinyl exterior siding, and drywall covering the interior walls. It has two (2) floors and a basement. The basement has a bathroom, a laundry/storage area, a canning room, and a stairwell leading to the exterior ground surface. The basement walls are composed of drywall painted yellow.

Furthermore, the basement stairs are painted gray. There are two water heaters and a natural gas furnace, all of which have been updated since the Bunkhouse was constructed. There are also two chimneys; one in the center of the basement and one within the west wall. The centralized chimney looked to have been abandoned but is presumed to have once served a coal fired furnace. The other chimney likely has two flues. One vents the smoke from the wood fireplace on the second floor, and the other acts as an outflow for exhaust from the furnace and water heater. Mastic was found in the seams where the exhaust stacks pass through the wall. Also, sheets of polystyrene, adhered by mastic, were placed within the walls adjacent to each water heater and the furnace. The floor of the basement bathroom (Bathroom #1) was formed by 1-inch square ceramic floor tiles set in place by mortar with grout filling the voids. Larger ceramic tiles, adhered with construction adhesive or caulking, were also used for the bathroom baseboards.

The rooms of the main floor include a porch, kitchen, dining room, living room, entryway, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The walls of each room are painted white, however, the floor of the porch is painted gray. The kitchen cabinetry is also painted white. The countertops are covered with yellow linoleum, and the vanity is sealed to the wall and countertops with caulking. The floors are covered with white linoleum flooring, which extends throughout the hallway and dining room. The ceilings of the dining room and living room consist of ceiling tiles, however, the ceiling tiles of the two rooms are not the same tiles. Separated from the Dining Room by a stairwell, the Living Room is carpeted and has a fireplace on the west wall. The mantle is wood, the firebox is cast iron which is insulated by firebrick and blown in fiberglass insulation, and the hearth is composed of red quarry tiles. The Living Room floor is covered with an off-white carpet. In the main floor bathroom (Bathroom #2), blue ceramic tiles, with grout filled seams, line the bottom half of the walls. Linoleum sheets cover the floor, however, the bathroom linoleum does not have the same pattern as the flooring in the kitchen, hallway, and dining room.

The void between the vanity and the walls are filled with two different types of caulk. White caulk seals the outermost surface, and clear caulk was found in deeper into the void. Inside the vanity cabinets, blue paint was observed covering the brick patterned plaster wall. The main floor bedroom (Bedroom #1) was finished with wood tongue and groove flooring and drywall coated with white paint.

Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest July 2017

Two bedrooms are on the second floor with crawl spaces running along the north and south walls and an attic above. A stairwell separates Bedroom #2 to the east and Bedroom #3 to the west.

Cement board, painted white, encapsulates the entirety of the second floor except for the tongue and groove wood floors in each bedroom. Blown-in fiberglass was used to insulate the walls of the second floor. Because only a limited inspection was conducted, it is uncertain what material was used to fill the walls of the main floor, however, fiberglass insulation was found in the crawl spaces and lining the fireplace. Therefore, it is conceivable that it was used to insulate the entire Bunkhouse.

The exterior faces of the Bunkhouse are covered with vinyl siding, although, as stated previously, it is evident that the original siding was replaced with the existing. It is also apparent that the original roofing materials were replaced with the current asphalt shingles. Within the concrete foundation are basement windows sunk into window wells. The frames, sashes, and muntins of these windows are painted green, and the panes are sealed by glazing. A coal chute door was also observed within the foundation on the south side of the building. The coal door is coated with gray paint and is sealed with caulk. Protruding from the west wall is a chimney consisting of stones set in place by mortar. The approximate area of the Bunkhouse is 2,470 square feet. Photographs are displayed in Appendix E.

Eagle River Bunkhouse Garage

Also built in 1936, the Eagle River Bunkhouse Garage is constructed of wood, asphalt shingles, and is based on a concrete foundation. The exterior sides consist of wood beveled siding, painted white, on top of felt paper. There are two wooden garage doors with windows set in place with glazing compound. The roof shingles are the same as the shingles used on the Bunkhouse and are laid on top of roofing paper. Exposed framing materials make up the interior walls, and the floor is bare concrete. The area of the Garage is approximately 576 square feet.
