Utility Building Lead Inspection Report.pdf

This is a Renovation Repair and Painting (RRP) Assessment Report Form for lead inspection conducted on September 12, 2024 at the Utility Building located at 68 Birch Hill Dam Rd in Royalston, MA. The inspection was performed by Craig Anderson (License #M-3801) using X-Ray Fluorescence testing method with an RMD LPA-1 device (Serial #1139).

The report documents dangerous levels of lead found throughout the interior of the unoccupied utility building, owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The detailed room-by-room assessment covers 6 rooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1 hallway, with extensive testing of surfaces including walls, baseboards, doors, windows, radiators, floors and ceilings. Most surfaces tested positive for dangerous lead levels (≥1.0 mg/cm²). Key renovation notes indicate "VLE" (vinyl), "replacement," and "no coating" comments on various surfaces. The planned RRP work will disturb more than 6ft² per interior room, requiring specific lead safety protocols and dust sampling procedures to be followed during renovation work. This lead assessment directly relates to the larger rehabilitation project for the Birch Hill Dam utility building detailed in solicitation W912WJ25Q0031.
