Subject: Report of Limited Asbestos and Lead Inspection Building 2416 Limited to Rooms 208, 209, 211 and 2nd floor Hallway Fort Bliss, Texas Project No. 06-161

Dear Mr. Ramos:

7136 NORTH LOOP

2nd FLOOR

EL PASO, TEXAS 79915

Thank you for this opportunity to provide continuing professional services to the

Directorate of Environment. R & A Consultants, Corp. has completed an asbestos and lead partial survey in support of the planned renovation of the facility located at Building

2416 in Fort Bliss, Texas. R & A was engaged to perform this survey by signed acceptance of our Proposal dated September 25, 2005. The Partial asbestos inspection is limited to rooms 208, 209, 211 and second floor hallway.

The purpose of this asbestos partial survey was to identify asbestos-containing materials that may be present in the affected areas and are anticipated to be disturbed. The survey was performed to comply with regulations issued by the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (NESHAP regulations, 40 CFR 61 (M)), and the Texas Asbestos Health

Protection Rules (25 TAC§ 295.31 to 295.73). These regulations generally require that, prior to any construction, renovation, or demolition, the area where the work is to be performed shall be inspected by a properly trained and licensed individual for the presence of asbestos-containing materials that may be disturbed during the work.

Partial Asbestos Inspection

R&A Consultants, Corp.

October 4, 2006

The partial survey was performed on October 2, 2006 by Mr. Juan R. Ayala (TDH

Asbestos Consultant No. 105450) of R & A Consultants, Corp. Based on the scope of renovations, as we understand it, bulk samples were collected from suspect materials identified on the property.

The suspect materials that were sampled during the partial survey included wall paper, 12x12 blue floor tile, 12x12 blue floor tile mastic, 12x12 white floor tile, 12x12 white floor tile mastic, sheet rock, joint compound, cove base and cove base mastic.

The samples of suspect materials were sent to APEX Precision Analytical Services, Inc.

An accredited and licensed asbestos laboratory (TDSHS Laboratory License No. 30-0312), for analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) coupled with dispersion staining utilizing visual area estimation. The samples were submitted for "positive stop" analysis.

Under the EPA's AHERA protocols, if any one sample from a particular homogenous area is found to contain more than one percent asbestos, analyses of further samples from that same area may be omitted because the homogeneous area is considered ACM. The remaining samples of the same material are not analyzed.

On October 03rd 2006, R & A Consultants, Corp. performed a lead paint survey to determine the presence of lead based paint within the exterior and interior of the building.

Under the lead standards, all painted surfaces should be considered suspect. The search for the presence of lead was determined by using a NJTON 701A X-Ray Fluorescent spectrum analyzer (XRF #XL-6776N50480). The threshold for paint to be considered lead containing on this project is 0.5mg/cm2 . This was established by utilizing the OSHA reference to "detectable levels" of lead in paint. The NITON Corporation states that the

NITON 701A can detect lead at 0.3mg/cm2±0.lmg/cm2 , and has included a calibration sheet at that level for the unit when purchased. Building components painted the same color and with the same paint history were considered homogenous; usually at least three representative XRF readings were taken from each homogenous area.

R&A Consultants, Corp.

October 4, 2006

The presence or absence of lead must be determined so that the contractor performing work may know if measures must be taken into consideration when performing the demolition work.

Conclusion

As noted previously, from the suspect materials identified on the areas to be disturbed on an up-coming renovation project, bulk samples were collected and analyzed. None of the collected samples were found to contain asbestos on more than 1 % in order to be considered asbestos containing material (ACM). Therefore no asbestos containing material was identified on the building.

The lead based paint analysis with the XRF Spectrum Analyzer indicates that no lead paint was identified on the interior of building 2416 rooms 208, 209, 211 and 2nd floor hallway.

Again, R&A appreciates the opportunity to serve as your consultant in this matter. If you have any questions or if we may be of further service to you, please contact us at 915-779-

6605.

Sincerely, Juan · yala Presi ·nt Texas Asbestos Consultant 105450
