Lead Based Paint Inspection

Niton XLp 300, 9/24/2004, ed. 1

Performance Characteristic Sheet

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 24, 2004 EDITION NO.: 1

MANUFACTURER AND MODEL:

Make: Niton LLC

Tested Model: XLp 300 Source: 109Cd

Note: This PCS is also applicable to the equivalent model variations indicated below, for the Lead-in-Paint K+L variable reading time mode, in the XLi and XLp series:

XLi 300A, XLi 301A, XLi 302A and XLi 303A.

XLp 300A, XLp 301A, XLp 302A and XLp 303A.

XLi 700A, XLi 701A, XLi 702A and XLi 703A.

XLp 700A, XLp 701A, XLp 702A, and XLp 703A.

Note: The XLi and XLp versions refer to the shape of the handle part of the instrument. The differences in the model numbers reflect other modes available, in addition to Lead-in- Paint modes. The manufacturer states that specifications for these instruments are identical for the source, detector, and detector electronics relative to the Lead-in-Paint mode.

FIELD OPERATION GUIDANCE

OPERATING PARAMETERS:

Lead-in-Paint K+L variable reading time mode.

XRF CALIBRATION CHECK LIMITS:

0.8 to 1.2 mg/cm2 (inclusive)

The calibration of the XRF instrument should be checked using the paint film nearest 1.0 mg/cm2 in the NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) used (e.g., for NIST SRM 2579, use the 1.02 mg/cm2 film).

If readings are outside the acceptable calibration check range, follow the manufacturer's instructions to bring the instruments into control before XRF testing proceeds.

SUBSTRATE CORRECTION:

For XRF results using Lead-in-Paint K+L variable reading time mode, substrate correction is not needed for:

Brick, Concrete, Drywall, Metal, Plaster, and Wood

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

EVALUATION DATA SOURCE AND DATE:

This sheet is supplemental information to be used in conjunction with Chapter 7 of the HUD Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing ("HUD Guidelines"). Performance parameters shown on this sheet are calculated from the EPA/HUD evaluation using archived building components. Testing was conducted in August 2004 on 133 testing combinations. The instruments that were used to perform the testing had new sources; one instrument’s was installed in November 2003 with 40 mCi initial strength, and the other’s was installed June 2004 with 40 mCi initial strength.

OPERATING PARAMETERS:

Performance parameters shown in this sheet are applicable only when properly operating the instrument using the manufacturer's instructions and procedures described in Chapter 7 of the HUD Guidelines.

SUBSTRATE CORRECTION VALUE COMPUTATION:

Substrate correction is not needed for brick, concrete, drywall, metal, plaster or wood when using Lead-in- Paint K+L variable reading time mode, the normal operating mode for these instruments. If substrate correction is desired, refer to Chapter 7 of the HUD Guidelines for guidance on correcting XRF results for substrate bias.

EVALUATING THE QUALITY OF XRF TESTING:

Randomly select ten testing combinations for retesting from each house or from two randomly selected units in multifamily housing. Use the K+L variable time mode readings.

Conduct XRF retesting at the ten testing combinations selected for retesting.

Determine if the XRF testing in the units or house passed or failed the test by applying the steps below.

Compute the Retest Tolerance Limit by the following steps:

Determine XRF results for the original and retest XRF readings. Do not correct the original or retest results for substrate bias. In single-family housing a result is defined as the average of three readings. In multifamily housing, a result is a single reading.

Therefore, there will be ten original and ten retest XRF results for each house or for the two selected units.

Calculate the average of the original XRF result and retest XRF result for each testing combination.

Square the average for each testing combination.

Add the ten squared averages together. Call this quantity C.

Multiply the number C by 0.0072. Call this quantity D.

Add the number 0.032 to D. Call this quantity E.

Take the square root of E. Call this quantity F.

Multiply F by 1.645. The result is the Retest Tolerance Limit.

Compute the average of all ten original XRF results.

Compute the average of all ten re-test XRF results.

Find the absolute difference of the two averages.

If the difference is less than the Retest Tolerance Limit, the inspection has passed the retest. If the difference of the overall averages equals or exceeds the Retest Tolerance Limit, this procedure should be repeated with ten new testing combinations. If the difference of the overall averages is equal to or greater than the Retest Tolerance Limit a second time, then the inspection should be considered deficient.

Use of this procedure is estimated to produce a spurious result approximately 1% of the time. That is, results of this procedure will call for further examination when no examination is warranted in approximately 1 out of 100 dwelling units tested.

TESTING TIMES:

For the Lead-in-Paint K+L variable reading time mode, the instrument continues to read until it is moved away from the testing surface, terminated by the user, or the instrument software indicates the reading is complete. The following table provides testing time information for this testing mode. The times have been adjusted for source decay, normalized to the initial source strengths as noted above. Source strength and type of substrate will affect actual testing times. At the time of testing, the instruments had source strengths of 26.6 and 36.6 mCi.

Testing Times Using K+L Reading Mode (Seconds)

All Data Median for laboratory-measured lead levels (mg/cm2)

Substrate 25th

Percentile Median 75th

Percentile Pb < 0.25 0.25 < Pb<1.0 1.0 < Pb

CLASSIFICATION RESULTS:

XRF results are classified as positive if they are greater than or equal to the threshold, and negative if they are less than the threshold.

DOCUMENTATION:

A document titled Methodology for XRF Performance Characteristic Sheets provides an explanation of the statistical methodology used to construct the data in the sheets, and provides empirical results from using the recommended inconclusive ranges or thresholds for specific XRF instruments. For a copy of this document call the National Lead Information Center Clearinghouse at 1-800-424-LEAD.

SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Zimmetry Environmental Management Corp. was contracted by B&A Consulting Engineering to perform an Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM) inspection. The survey was conducted on September 5, 2019 at the metal guard rails located at PR-995, Km

4.4 in Vieques, Puerto Rico as part of Hurricane María Efforts for Signing & Guardrail:

Aguas Buenas, Caguas, Gurabo, Las Piedras & San Lorenzo- AC-810541 project. The asbestos containing building materials sampling was performed to identify materials that contain asbestos fibers above allowable levels and to assist with the compliance of local, state and federal regulations.

1.2 SUMMARY OF PROPERTY EVALUATION

The project consisted of the evaluation of the guard rails at the aforementioned project. The evaluation found that no asbestos containing materials were identified during the inspection through the site.

Guardrail Inspected:

Km 4.4

Guard Rails on PR-995

SECTION 2: ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS SURVEY REPORT

2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE EVALUATION

This asbestos containing materials (ACM) survey is an inspection to identify the location of any ACM that exist within. Throughout the inspection no asbestos containing materials were identified at the road.

The inspection was conducted by Puerto Rico EQB and United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) accredited Inspectors qualified by experience, education and training in the recognition of potential ACM and approved bulk sampling techniques. Some areas may not have been directly accessible due to the physical hazards encountered within.

In these areas assumptions based on findings in other areas were made whenever possible.

SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Zimmetry Environmental Management Corp. was contracted by B&A Consulting Engineering to perform a Lead-Based Paint inspection. The survey was conducted on September 5, 2019 at the metal guard rails located at PR-995 from Km 4.4 in Vieques, Puerto Rico as part of Hurricane María Efforts for Signing & Guardrail: Aguas Buenas, Caguas, Gurabo, Las Piedras & San Lorenzo- AC-810541 project. The lead-based paint inspection was performed to identify paint that contains lead above allowable levels and to assist with the compliance of local, state and federal regulations.

1.2 SUMMARY OF PROPERTY EVALUATION

The project consisted of the evaluation of the site of the aforementioned project. The evaluation found that lead based paint was present in selective components and surfaces through the buildings on the dates of the inspection. Table 1-1 identifies the components positive for lead. Table 2-1 identifies lead-based paint as defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Environmental Quality Board (EQB). For specific locations and additional detail on the location of lead- reference Sections 2 and 3. The quantification of positives materials is an estimate provide by the Project Designer. Referred to Department of Transportation and Public Works, Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority, Hurricane María Efforts for Signing & Guardrail: Aguas Buenas, Caguas, Gurabo, las Piedras & San Lorenzo- AC-810541 project -Table #1 Guardrail Installation Table.

SECTION 2: LEAD-BASED PAINT INSPECTION REPORT

2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE EVALUATION

This lead-based paint inspection is an investigation to identify all lead-based paint on a surface-by-surface basis. A lead-based paint inspection conforming to HUD guidelines was performed at the aforementioned site.

Averages of 10 samples were taken at identified surfaces of the evaluated areas using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. The evaluation found that lead-based paint was present in selective components and surfaces through the site on the date of the assessment (See Table 1-1).

Some of the remaining XRF test locations exhibited lead-in-paint levels below the level that EPA identifies as lead-based paint, namely 1.0 mg/cm2. Such surfaces could create dust-lead or soil-lead hazards if the paint is turned into dust by abrasion, scraping, or sanding. Should these or any lead containing components or surfaces be disturbed in any manner that generates dust, care should be taken to limit its spread.

Testing was performed by Harry Peña, state-certified inspector 1364-06-19-RA-001, using the Niton XLp-300A XRF, SN-101222. The credentials are provided in Section 3, Appendix C: Certifications, Licenses, and Accreditations. The XRF analyzer is designed to measure the lead content of surface coatings on a variety of building surfaces, substrates, and components. The measurement is rapid and nondestructive and, according to the manufacturer, is capable of detecting lead concentrations that occur within numerous layers of various surface coatings.

Please refer to the XRF Testing Results Section 3, Appendix D: XRF Sampling Data for the detailed analytical testing results for each distinct area inspected. The reports provide a complete testing data.

2.2 SAMPLING PROCEDURE AND RESULTS PRESENTATION

The Lead Based Paint Sampling Procedure was design to evaluate and document all the data obtained form the inspection in a sequential method that provided confidence at the moment of the results presentation.

The survey was performed following the methodology established in the HUD Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead Based Paint in Housing (2012 revision) and the PREQB Lead Based Paint Abatement Control Regulation. The surfaces evaluation was performed as follows:

If the lead concentration measured by the XRF Spectrum Analyzer is less than 1.0 mg/cm2 it is considered negative.

If the lead concentration measured by the XRF Spectrum Analyzer is equal or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2 it is considered positive.

2.4 CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS—DISCLAIMER

Zimmetry Environmental Management Corp. has performed this lead-based paint inspection in a thorough and professional manner consistent with commonly accepted industry standards. The Preparer cannot guarantee and does not warrant that this evaluation has identified all adverse environmental factors and/or conditions affecting this project on the date of the evaluation.

The results reported and conclusions reached by the Preparer are solely for the benefit of the Owner. The results and opinions in this report, based solely on the conditions found at the road on the date of the evaluation, are valid only on that date. The Preparer assumes no obligation to advise the client of any changes in any real or potential lead-based paint hazards at this residence beyond the date of the site evaluation.

The lead inspection was performed to ready accessible components and surfaces. If suspected components that could contain lead are encountered underneath current installed tiles or other construction material, they shall be managed as containing lead until the appropriate test is performed.

2.5 ABATEMENT CONDITIONS

Abatement, as defined by HUD and the Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board (EQB), means any set of measures designed to eliminate lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards permanently. The people providing these services must to be trained in accordance with the EQB licensing/certification requirements. The product manufacturer and/or contractor must warrant abatement methods to last a minimum of 20 years, or these methods must have a design life of at least 20 years.

Abatement activities may include, but are not necessarily limited to:

onsite or offsite removal of lead-based paint from substrates and components replacement of components or fixtures painted with lead-based paint permanent enclosure of lead-based paint with construction materials mechanically-fastened to the substrate

Guard Rails on PR-995 encapsulation of lead-based paint with specially designed encapsulant products removal or permanent covering (concrete or asphalt) of soil-lead-based paint hazards

If enclosure or encapsulation is conducted as an abatement method, the lead-based paint remains on the property, so ongoing lead-based paint maintenance is required.

2.6 RECOMMENDATIONS

According to the EQB lead regulations, prior to the demolishing of a structure containing lead based paint, the contaminated surfaces or substrates must be abated or removed. The waste generated has to be characterized to determine if the waste generated is hazardous or non hazardous waste. The firm providing the abatement services must be certified as an abatement firm by the EQB. Workers conducting abatement must be trained and certified as abatement workers by a training provider accredited by the EQB.

2.7 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT REPORT CERTIFICATION

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

EVALUATION DATA SOURCE AND DATE:

This sheet is supplemental information to be used in conjunction with Chapter 7 of the HUD Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing ("HUD Guidelines"). Performance parameters shown on this sheet are calculated from the EPA/HUD evaluation using archived building components. Testing was conducted in August 2004 on 133 testing combinations. The instruments that were used to perform the testing had new sources; one instrument’s was installed in November 2003 with 40 mCi initial strength, and the other’s was installed June 2004 with 40 mCi initial strength.

OPERATING PARAMETERS:

Performance parameters shown in this sheet are applicable only when properly operating the instrument using the manufacturer's instructions and procedures described in Chapter 7 of the HUD Guidelines.

SUBSTRATE CORRECTION VALUE COMPUTATION:

Substrate correction is not needed for brick, concrete, drywall, metal, plaster or wood when using Lead-in- Paint K+L variable reading time mode, the normal operating mode for these instruments. If substrate correction is desired, refer to Chapter 7 of the HUD Guidelines for guidance on correcting XRF results for substrate bias.

EVALUATING THE QUALITY OF XRF TESTING:

Randomly select ten testing combinations for retesting from each house or from two randomly selected units in multifamily housing. Use the K+L variable time mode readings.

Conduct XRF retesting at the ten testing combinations selected for retesting.

Determine if the XRF testing in the units or house passed or failed the test by applying the steps below.

Compute the Retest Tolerance Limit by the following steps:

Determine XRF results for the original and retest XRF readings. Do not correct the original or retest results for substrate bias. In single-family housing a result is defined as the average of three readings. In multifamily housing, a result is a single reading.

Therefore, there will be ten original and ten retest XRF results for each house or for the two selected units.

Calculate the average of the original XRF result and retest XRF result for each testing combination.

Square the average for each testing combination.

Add the ten squared averages together. Call this quantity C.

Multiply the number C by 0.0072. Call this quantity D.

Add the number 0.032 to D. Call this quantity E.

Take the square root of E. Call this quantity F.

Multiply F by 1.645. The result is the Retest Tolerance Limit.

Compute the average of all ten original XRF results.

If the difference is less than the Retest Tolerance Limit, the inspection has passed the retest. If the difference of the overall averages equals or exceeds the Retest Tolerance Limit, this procedure should be repeated with ten new testing combinations. If the difference of the overall averages is equal to or greater than the Retest Tolerance Limit a second time, then the inspection should be considered deficient.

Use of this procedure is estimated to produce a spurious result approximately 1% of the time. That is, results of this procedure will call for further examination when no examination is warranted in approximately 1 out of 100 dwelling units tested.

TESTING TIMES:

For the Lead-in-Paint K+L variable reading time mode, the instrument continues to read until it is moved away from the testing surface, terminated by the user, or the instrument software indicates the reading is complete. The following table provides testing time information for this testing mode. The times have been adjusted for source decay, normalized to the initial source strengths as noted above. Source strength and type of substrate will affect actual testing times. At the time of testing, the instruments had source strengths of 26.6 and 36.6 mCi.
