Executive Summary

S&ME conducted a limited asbestos and lead-based paint assessment of the third floor in Building 3 located at the Dorn VA Hospital at 6439 Garners Ferry Road in Columbia, South Carolina. The assessment was performed on

September 28, 2022. The purpose of the assessment was to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and lead-based paint coatings associated with planned renovations of rooms 312, 320, 320A, 330, 351 and small conference room in the building.

Asbestos The limited asbestos assessment was performed in general accordance with the South Carolina Department of

Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) Regulation 61-86.1, Standards of Performance for Asbestos Projects effective May 27, 2011 and with the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and the

Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). The purpose of the assessment was to identify the presence and quantity of ACMs associated with the building prior to sprinkler head replacement.

The limited asbestos assessment included the bulk sampling and analysis of suspect ACMs from the subject areas.

The suspect materials identified consist of drywall and associated joint compound, plaster, duct mastic and black sealant.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and SCDHEC define materials as asbestos-containing if an asbestos content of greater than one percent (>1%) is detected in a representative sample. Asbestos, in concentrations greater than one percent, was not identified as a result of the assessment.

Lead-Based Paint Painted surfaces throughout the interior of the subject areas were considered suspect and analyzed for lead content. The coated surfaces exceeding the SCDHEC disposal criteria of 0.7 milligrams per square centimeter

(mg/cm2) were considered lead-based paint for the purpose of this assessment. Tested surfaces that exceeded the 0.7 mg/cm2 threshold include:

Beige metal window frames (1.30 to 13.10 mg/cm2).

Beige plaster pillars (14.50 to 16.00 mg/cm2).

Orange metal plate beneath window (3.60 mg/cm2).

This summary is for convenience only and should not be relied upon without first reading the full contents of this report, including appended materials.

1.0 Introduction

S&ME conducted a limited asbestos and lead-based paint assessment of rooms 312, 320, 320A, 330, 351 and small conference room on the third floor in Building 3 located at the Dorn VA Hospital at 6439 Garners Ferry Road in Columbia, South Carolina. The assessment was performed by Bobby McAllister and Travis Knight on September

28, 2022. Mr. McAllister and Mr. Knight are Asbestos Building Inspectors licensed by the South Carolina

Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC). An Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) is defined by State and Federal regulations as a building material containing greater than one percent (>1%) of one of the six asbestos minerals regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and

Health Administration (OSHA).

This limited asbestos and lead-based paint assessment was performed in general accordance with S&ME Proposal

No. 22610418, dated August 1, 2022, and SCDHEC Regulation 61-86.1.

Demolition and renovation activities in public and commercial buildings are regulated by OSHA, EPA and SCDHEC.

The EPA and SCDHEC require asbestos assessments, conducted by licensed individuals, prior to renovation and/or demolition projects. Code 40 of Federal Regulations Part 61, Subpart M, Final Rule, National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and SCDHEC Regulation 61-86.1 require asbestos assessments, followed by the proper removal, and disposal of ACM that is affected by renovation or demolition. The identification of ACMs will aid in the prevention of occupational exposures and/or environmental releases of airborne asbestos.

Identification of ACM is also required by OSHA 1926.1101. The EPA, OSHA and SCDHEC define ACM as materials containing greater than one (1) percent asbestos in a representative sample. However, OSHA also regulates materials containing less than or equal to one percent asbestos.

2.0 Asbestos Assessment

2.1 Purpose

The purpose of the limited asbestos assessment was to identify the presence and quantity of asbestos-containing materials associated with the subject areas prior to planned renovation activities on the third floor. The identification of ACMs will aid in the prevention of occupational exposures and/or environmental releases of airborne asbestos. Identification of ACMs also complies with Title 40 Code of the Federal Regulations, part 61, and State Regulation 61-86.1 enforced by the SCDHEC, along with Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations, part 1926 enforced by OSHA.

2.2 Site Description

The subject areas are rooms 312, 320, 320A, 330, 351 and small conference room on the third floor of Building 3 located at the Dorn VA Hospital at 6439 Garners Ferry Road in Columbia, South Carolina. The rooms were unfinished with some drywall walls and remnant plaster in various areas. The subject areas were unoccupied at the time of the assessment.

The following sections describe the assessment procedures used, results of the suspect ACMs sampled and analyzed, and conclusions and recommendations regarding the subject areas as related to ACMs.

2.3 Investigative Procedures and Analysis

A visual assessment of the subject areas was performed to determine the homogeneous areas (HAs) of suspect

ACMs. Based on EPA definitions used in the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), 40 CFR 763, an

HA of suspect asbestos-containing building material has the same color and texture and is thought to be installed within the same timeframe. S&ME assessed the interior of the subject area for suspect ACMs, surfacing materials, and miscellaneous materials. Significant destructive investigative techniques and sampling were not performed as part of this assessment. Consequently, the possibility exists that suspect materials were not detected in inaccessible areas such as flooring overlays, pipe chases, locked rooms, or wall voids or in areas deemed unsafe to enter by the asbestos inspectors. If additional suspect materials are discovered during future renovation or demolition activities, bulk samples should be collected and analyzed for asbestos content.

The suspect materials identified in connection with the ceiling systems consist of drywall and associated joint compound, plaster, duct mastic and black sealant.

A sampling strategy was developed to provide representative samples of the suspect asbestos-containing materials in accordance with OSHA, SCDHEC and EPA. Bulk samples were then extracted from suspect ACMs, recorded on a chain of custody record, and submitted to S&ME’s in house polarized light microscopy (PLM) lab in

Charlotte, North Carolina for analysis. Non-friable, organically bound (NOB) samples that tested negative via PLM were also submitted to EMSL Analytical’s asbestos laboratory in Pineville, North Carolina for analysis via transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM)

The suspect materials were analyzed by trained microscopists using PLM techniques coupled with dispersion staining in accordance with EPA Test Method Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter I (1-1-87 edition), Part

763, Subpart F-APPENDIX A. This method identifies asbestos mineral fibers based on six optical characteristics:

morphology, birefringence, refractive index, extinction angle, sign of elongation and dispersion staining colors.

The laboratory analysis reports the specific type of asbestos identified (there are six asbestos minerals) and the percentage of asbestos present.

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM)

In accordance with SCDHEC Regulation 61-86.1, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) confirmation analysis is required to be performed on one sample of any non-friable organically bound material (NOB) that tests negative via PLM analysis. The TEM analysis was performed using EPA 600 Method in accordance with ASTM E2356.

Both the PLM and the TEM laboratories are accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation

Program (NVLAP), which is administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

2.4 Assessment

Identified ACMs were assessed based on the observed condition (good, damaged or significantly damaged) and potential for disturbance. Identified ACMs were also categorized based on the EPA’s NESHAP regulation categories. A friable ACM is classified as an ACM that can be crumbled to a powder by moderate hand pressure.

RichardCantwellJr

6439 Garners Ferry Road Columbia, South Carolina 29209

S&ME Project No. 22610418

October 17, 2022 4

A non-friable ACM is classified as either Category I or Category II non-friable ACM. Category I and Category II non-friable ACMs are distinguished from each other by their fiber release potential when damaged. Generally, Category I non-friable ACM, which by definition includes intact asbestos-containing roofing materials, gaskets, packing, and resilient floor coverings is less likely to become friable and release fibers in a damaged state.

Category II non-friable ACM include all other non-friable ACMs excluding Category I that have a high probability of being rendered friable during removal activities or demolition. 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 the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations are considered to be a Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material (RACM).

2.5 Findings and Results

The limited asbestos assessment conducted on September 28, 2022 included the quantification and random bulk sampling of various suspect asbestos-containing materials associated with the third floor renovations. Of the representative materials sampled and analyzed during this assessment, asbestos in concentrations >1% was not identified.

A summary of suspect ACMs sampled and analyzed is provided in Appendix I. A floor plan and photographs of site conditions are provided in Appendix II. The laboratory reports are provided in Appendix IV.

3.0 Lead-Based Paint Assessment

3.1 Investigative Procedures

The limited lead-based paint assessment was conducted for compliance with the SCDHEC limit of 0.7 milligrams

(mg) of lead per square centimeter (cm2) of painted surface for lead-based paint coated waste. SCDHEC, Health

Division defines lead-based paint as a coating containing lead in quantities ≥0.7 mg/cm2 (SCDHEC, Health Division definition #4-53-1320f). Any coated surfaces meeting or exceeding the SCDHEC limit of 0.7 mg/cm2 were considered lead-based paint for the purpose of this assessment.

OSHA does not recognize a threshold level of lead for definition purposes, only the presence or absence of lead.

The current OSHA regulations recognize an airborne action level of thirty micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air (30 µg/m3) during an eight-hour day and a permissible exposure level of fifty micrograms per cubic meter (50 µg/m3).

Representative painted building components and surfaces in the subject areas were analyzed utilizing a Niton

XLp-300A X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectrum analyzer (serial #95004). The suspect painted finishes were selected based on the color of the topcoat and the underlying paint layers and/or the substrate on which it was applied.

The possibility exists that lead-based paint finishes are present in inaccessible areas not tested such as pipe chases, wall voids, etc.

Attached in Appendix III is a summary of the paint readings analyzed by the XRF spectrum lead analyzer. The

XRF summary provides the sample numbers, sample location, component, substrate, paint color, condition, and results.

3.2 Findings and Results

Coated surfaces throughout the subject areas were tested for the presence of lead-based paint. Coated surfaces meeting or exceeding the SCDHEC limit of 0.7 milligrams of lead per square centimeter (0.7 mg/cm2) were considered lead-based paint for the purpose of this assessment. Tested surfaces that exceeded the 0.7 mg/cm2 threshold include:

Beige metal window frames (1.30 to 13.10 mg/cm2).

Beige plaster pillars (14.50 to 16.00 mg/cm2).

Orange metal plate beneath window (3.60 mg/cm2).

4.0 Conclusions and Recommendations

The limited asbestos assessment of rooms 312, 320, 320A, 330, 351 and small conference room located on the third floor of Building 3 located at the Dorn VA Hospital located at 6439 Garners Ferry Road in Columbia, South

Carolina did not identify the presence of asbestos-containing materials.

4.1 Lead-Based Paint Conclusions

The limited lead-based paint assessment of the subject areas in Building 3 identified the presence of lead-based coatings on beige metal window frames, beige plaster pillars and orange metal plate beneath window.

Destructive actions to paint containing detectable levels of lead (e.g. paint preparation, component removal, demolition, sanding, grinding, burning, etc.) may require the contractor to comply with the standards of the OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1926.62 (Lead in Construction), including but not limited to training, initial exposure monitoring, the use of personal protective equipment, and medical surveillance. The determination of OSHA applicability is the responsibility of the contractor and dependent upon the paint condition and the planned treatment of the finishes.

The client is advised that OSHA does not recognize a threshold level of lead for definition purposes, only the presence or absence of lead. Consequently, the OSHA regulations governing worker protection for lead-based paint may apply to work practices including the disturbance of paint systems with detectable levels of lead.

Destructive actions (sanding, burning, demolition, component removal, paint preparation) to the lead-containing paint surfaces will require the contractor comply with the standards of OSHA, including but not limited to initial exposure monitoring, the use of personal protective equipment, and medical surveillance.

SCDHEC Regulation 61-107.19 permits demolition materials painted with lead-based paint (≥ 0.7 mg/cm2) to be disposed in a permitted Class Two (C&D) or Class Three Subtitle D, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill.

Accumulations of paint waste (chips, dust, or flakes) must be tested by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching

Procedure (TCLP) to determine if the waste is classified as hazardous, which requires disposal in a Subtitle C

(hazardous waste) landfill. Lead waste, at a minimum, must be disposed in a Class Two or Three landfill.
