2.1.2 EXISTING CONDITIONS
On October 23 and 24, 2019 CEMS and Terracon performed a water test on two window assemblies and surrounding sealant joints using the test procedure complying with AAMA 501.2 “Quality Assurance and
Diagnostic Water Leakage Field Check of Installed Storefronts, Curtain Walls and Sloped Glazing Systems”.
Water intrusion was observed at one of the window locations. See the window report prepared by
Terracon attached at the end of this Basis of Design report.
Visual observations were made of numerous precast to precast movement joints, rough opening joints around windows, and wet seals at the window glass to aluminum frame to determine the quality of the sealant materials. None of the sealants were original to the building but were showing signs that the sealants were near the end of their performance period. Nearly all the wet seals observed were at or past their service live.
During the water testing the precast was observed to quickly absorb water indicating the lack of a water repellant or a water repellant that has far exceeded its performance capability. The envelope of the building does not have a vapor barrier so liquid water that is being absorbed into the precast and stucco is likely migrating through to the interior of the building in the form of water vapor. This water vapor will over time likely damage interior finishes and put an undue stress on the HVAC system.
Although not a water intrusion location, CEMS did observe at least one window that had a failed
Insulating Glazing Unit (IGU). IGU’s are comprised of two sheets of glass held apart a specific distance with perimeter spacers that seal the air space between the two sheets of glass. This seal prevents moisture and contaminates from getting between the two sheets of glass. When these seals fail the glass will usually “fog” over and make it undesirable to see through.
The results of the visual evaluation and testing indicted that all sealants were at or past their service life and should be replaced to prevent further damage to interior finishes.

The results of the visual evaluation and testing indicted that all sealants were at or past their service life and should be replaced to prevent further damage to interior finishes.
2.1.3 DEMOLITION
The demolition in this project would include removing all sealants, including all wet seals. Although not a water intrusion concern, all failed Insulating Glazing Units (IGU) should be replaced.
2.1.4 NEW WORK
The main goal of this project is to address, correct, and maintain a watertight building for years to come during any wind driven water weather event. This project includes replacement of all sealants between the pre-cast and granite panels, at the perimeter of all windows and curtain wall systems, sealants within the curtain wall system, and sealants at the stucco and granite movement joints. All existing joint materials will be removed, and all joints cleaned and prepped for new sealant joint materials.
Applying a water repellant to all the precast, granite, and stucco surfaces will be done which will significantly reduce the amount of water that is absorbed into these materials and subsequently reduce the amount of water vapor that migrates to the interior of the building.
New work will also include ASTM and AAMA testing of the sealant joints to ensure no water intrusion takes place after installation of the sealants. A water test will be performed to verify adequate coverage of the exterior water repellent.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Terracon performed a limited asbestos, lead paint and IAQ survey on October 24, 2019 at the
Federal Justice Building located in Miami, Florida. The survey was performed at your request to assess potential hazardous materials that may be present to accommodate the planned future development activities at the facility.
The assessment was conducted by Terracon’s State of Florida accredited asbestos building inspector, Daniel Reyes. Terracon applicable licenses and certifications are presented in Appendix
D.
Building components were surveyed and homogeneous areas of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead paint were visually identified and documented. Although reasonable effort was made to survey accessible suspect materials, additional suspect but un-sampled materials and/or issues could be located in walls, in voids, below the ground or in other concealed areas.
A Mold Visual Inspection was performed under the direction of a licensed Mold Related Services
Assessor (MRSA) per Florida Statutes. If deemed necessary based on visual observations, surface tape-lift samples were collected from selected building materials and limited moisture content of suspect moisture-impacted materials located within the building was performed based on visual observation.
1.1 Project Objective
We understand this asbestos survey was requested due to the planned future development of the structure to satisfy requirements of the USEPA regulation 40 CFR 61, Subpart M, National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). NESHAP regulations prohibit the release of asbestos fibers to the atmosphere during demolition activities. The asbestos NESHAP requires that potentially regulated ACM (RACM) be identified, classified and quantified prior to planned disturbances or demolition activities.
Paint samples were obtained to identify potential exposures sources, regulated by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 29 CFR 1926.62 and other applicable

1.2 Reliance
This report is for the exclusive use of CEMS Engineering, Inc. for the project being discussed.
Reliance by any other party on this report is prohibited without written authorization of Terracon and CEMS Engineering, Inc. Reliance on this report by CEMS Engineering, Inc. and all authorized parties will be subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations stated in the proposal, this report and Terracon’s Agreement for Services. The limitations of liability defined in Terracon’s
Agreement for Services is the aggregate limit of Terracon’s liability to CEMS Engineering, Inc.
2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION
The structure is occupied, and it is scheduled for future development. The structure includes twelve floors. The original construction date for the structure is 1993 according to the Miami Dade
County Property Appraiser. Interior finishes include finished wallboard systems, carpet flooring, and lay-in ceiling tiles. The exterior is finished with a stucco system.
It should be noted that Terracon was limited in the number of floors that could be accessed for observation. Terracon was given access to the East sides of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th floors. The remaining floors were not surveyed during Terracon’s October 24, 2019 site visit. Additional suspect ACM, lead paint coatings, and suspect visible mold / moisture may be present in locations that were not accessible to Terracon during the site visit.
3.0 FIELD ACTIVITIES
3.1 Asbestos
Survey activities were initiated with visual observations of the representative interior and exterior materials in the building to identify homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. Terracon was only given access to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th floors during the October 24, 2019 site visit.
A homogeneous area (HA) consists of building materials that appear similar throughout in terms of color and texture with consideration given to the date of application.
A physical assessment of each homogeneous area of suspect ACM was conducted to assess the friability and condition of the materials. A friable material is defined by the EPA as a material which can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry. Friability was assessed by physically touching suspect materials.
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 3
Based on results of the visual observation, bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in general accordance with AHERA sampling protocols. Samples of suspect materials were collected from selected locations in each homogeneous area. Bulk samples were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for fiber release. Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample numbers using an indelible marker.
The selection of sample locations and frequency of sampling were based on Terracon’s observations and the assumption that like materials in the same area are homogeneous in content. Thirty (30) bulk samples were collected from eight (8) homogeneous areas of suspect
ACM.
Bulk samples were submitted under chain of custody to EMSL Analytical, Inc. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida for analysis by PLM per EPA methodology EPA/600/R-93/116. The percentage of asbestos, where applicable, was determined by microscopic visual estimation. EMSL Analytical, Inc. is accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP Accreditation
No. 500085-0). The asbestos laboratory analytical results area in Appendix A.
3.2 Lead Paint
Terracon performed a visual assessment of the interior 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th floors and exterior of the building to identify, locate and assess predominant painted surfaces for lead content. Representative paint chip samples were chosen from each unique combination of paint color, component and substrate.
A total of two (2) paint chips samples were collected and submitted to EMSL Analytical, Inc. of Fort
Lauderdale, Florida for analysis. The paint chips were analyzed by Flame Atomic Absorption
Spectrometry (AAS) by NIOSH 7082 and EPA method 7000B Modified. EMSL Analytical, Inc. is accredited under the Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program (AIHA-LAP, Accreditation No. 100194).
The PCL laboratory analytical results are in Appendix B.
3.3 Tape-Lift Sampling
Terracon performed a visual assessment of the interior of the building to locate and identify any potential sources of microbial growth. As no suspect visible mold growth was observed, Terracon did not collect any tape-lift samples as there were presently no signs of potential microbial growth within the surveyed 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th floors.
3.4 Moisture Content in Building Materials
Based on Terracon’s visual inspection of the building, moisture testing of building materials such as wallboard was deemed unnecessary. It was reported by the tenants that there was one area of the building wallboard that had water damaged. Said area was cut out and removed. Terracon
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 4 did not observe any signs of water damage or moisture intrusion within the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 10th floors.
4.0 REGULATORY OVERVIEW
4.1 Asbestos
The asbestos NESHAP (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste disposal practices. It also requires the identification and classification of existing building materials prior to demolition or renovation activity. Under NESHAP, asbestos-containing building materials are classified as either friable, Category I non-friable or Category II non-friable
ACM. Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Category I non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient floor coverings and asphalt roofing products containing more than 1% asbestos. Category II non-friable ACM are any materials other than Category I materials that contain more than 1% asbestos.
Friable ACM, Category I and Category II non-friable ACM which is in poor condition and has become friable or which will be subjected to drilling, sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading and which could be crushed or pulverized during anticipated renovation or demolition activities are considered regulated ACM (RACM).
In the State of Florida, asbestos activities are regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP), which is enforced locally by the Miami Dade County Division of Environmental
Resource Management (DERM). RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities which will disturb the materials. The owner or operator must provide the FDEP with written notification of planned removal activities at least 10 working days prior to the commencement of asbestos abatement activities. Removal of RACM must be conducted by a State of Florida-licensed asbestos abatement contractor.
The OSHA Asbestos standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1 asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter of air (0.1 f/cc). The OSHA standard classifies construction and maintenance activities which could disturb ACM, and specifies work practices and precautions which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated work.
4.2 Lead in Construction
Lead is regulated by the EPA, HUD, FDEP and OSHA. The EPA and FDEP regulate lead use, removal, and disposal, and OSHA regulates lead exposure to workers. The EPA and HUD, with their small child-safety focus, define Lead-Based Paint (LBP) as paint, varnish, stain, or other applied coating that contains lead equal to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2, 5,000 mg/kg, or 0.5% by dry weight as determined by laboratory analysis.
However, for the purpose of the OSHA lead standard, with its focus on the safety/exposure of construction workers, paint-containing lead includes any detectable concentrations of
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 5 metallic lead, all inorganic lead compounds, and organic lead soaps. A synopsis of the OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1926.62) and the applicability are as follows:
The OSHA Lead Standard for Construction (29 CFR 1926.62) applies to all construction work where an employee may be occupationally exposed to lead. All work related to construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) is included. The lead-in-construction standard applies to any detectable concentration of lead in paint, as even small concentrations of lead can result in unacceptable employee exposures depending upon on the method of removal and other workplace conditions.
Under this standard, construction includes, but is not limited to, the following:
◼ Demolition or salvage of structures where lead or materials containing lead are present
◼ Removal or encapsulation of materials containing lead
◼ New construction, alteration, repair, or renovation of structures, substrates, or portions containing lead, or materials containing lead
◼ Installation of products containing lead
◼ Lead contamination/emergency clean-up
◼ Transportation, disposal, storage, or containment of lead or materials containing lead on the site or location at which construction activities are performed
◼ Maintenance operations associated with construction activities described above
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) gave the USEPA authority to regulate the waste status of demolition or renovation debris, including lead-containing materials. Specific notification and testing requirements must be addressed prior to transporting, treating, storing, or disposing of hazardous wastes. Lead containing wastes are considered hazardous waste under
RCRA if Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) results exceed 5 milligrams per liter
(mg/L). EPA exempts from most RCRA requirements those generators whose combined hazardous waste generation is less than 100 kilograms (kg) per month.
Detectable lead quantities may constitute a lead dust hazard during renovation/demolition activities.
Personnel performing renovation/demolition activities that may disturb painted components with concentrations of lead above the designated analytical detection limit should comply with all current
OSHA regulations in order to minimize employee exposure. OSHA defines lead-based paint as a paint, which contains lead, regardless of the concentration. Currently, any proposed renovation/demolition is subject to the OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1926.62 – Lead). The OSHA regulation defines specific training requirements, engineering controls and working practices for construction personnel subject to this standard. Occupational exposure to lead occurring in the course of construction work, including maintenance activities, painting, alteration and repairs is subject to the OSHA Lead Exposure in Construction standard.
Construction work covered by 29 CFR 1926.62 includes any repair or renovation activities or other activities that disturb in-place lead-containing materials but does not include routine cleaning and repainting where there is insignificant damage, wear, or corrosion of existing lead-containing coatings or substrates. Employers must assure that no employee will be exposed to lead at
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 6 concentrations greater than 50 micrograms per cubic meter (g/m3) averaged over an eight-hour period without adequate protection. The OSHA Standard also establishes an action level of 30 g/m3 which if exceeded triggers the requirement for medical monitoring.
5.0 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Asbestos
Asbestos was not detected in samples listed below that were collected by Terracon on the
October 24, 2019 survey. A complete list of samples and findings are included in Appendix A.
5.2 Lead Paint
Lead above laboratory reporting limits was not detected in the materials sampled by Terracon on the October 24, 2019 survey. A complete list of samples and findings are included in Appendix B.
5.3 Indoor Air Quality
No suspect visible mold growth or suspect moisture-impacted building materials were observed during the assessment.
Recommendations
Asbestos:
◼ The results of this assessment should be communicated to the demolition contractor and other subcontractors working in the building and a copy of the survey should be on-site during renovation or demolition activities.
◼ Any concealed building materials discovered during the renovation or demolition activities not identified in this report, which are suspected to contain asbestos, should be sampled by an AHERA-accredited asbestos inspector and analyzed by a NVLAP-accredited laboratory to confirm the presence or absence of asbestos prior to disturbing such materials. If the materials are found to contain asbestos, various regulations (EPA
NESHAP, Miami-Dade County DERM, and OSHA) will apply.
◼ In addition, direct contact with the Miami-Dade County DERM at (305) 372-6925 is recommended to confirm their actual regulatory requirements.
Lead Paint:
Based on the findings above, Terracon recommends the following:
Responsive ■ Resourceful ■ Reliable 7
◼ Contractors should be informed of the presence of Lead Paint in order to comply with worker protection standards – OSHA Lead in Construction Standard 29 CFR 1926.62.
If additional suspect lead coated surfaces are found during demolition activities, they should be assumed to contain lead in order to comply with worker protection standards – OSHA Lead in
Construction Standard 29 CFR 1926.62.
Indoor Air Quality:
As no suspect visible mold growth or moisture-impacted building materials were observed, there are no recommendations.
6.0 LIMITATIONS/GENERAL COMMENTS
It should be noted that suspect asbestos materials and lead paint, other than those identified during the October 24, 2019 survey may exist in locations outside of the designated surveyed areas.
Should suspect materials other than those which were identified during this survey be uncovered prior to renovation activities, those materials should be assumed asbestos-containing, and/or paint-containing lead until sampling and analysis can confirm or deny their asbestos content.
The asbestos, lead paint and limited IAQ survey was conducted in a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in the same locale. The results, findings, conclusions and recommendations expressed in this report are based on conditions observed during our survey of the building. The information contained in this report is relevant to the date on which this survey was performed, and should not be relied upon to represent conditions at a later date.
This report has been prepared on behalf of and exclusively for use by CEMS Engineering, Inc.
for specific application to their project as discussed. This report is not a bidding document.
Contractors or consultants reviewing this report must draw their own conclusions regarding further investigation or remediation deemed necessary. Terracon does not warrant the work of regulatory agencies, laboratories or other third parties supplying information which may have been used in the preparation of this report.
