Preparation of this report.
2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION
The building is a brick structure that has two hangar sections on each end and an office space in the center, all of which are connected. The total square footage is approximately 12,640 square feet in size and the building is built on a concrete slab foundation.
Interior Materials – consist of sheetrock and concrete block walls, vinyl floor tile and dropped ceiling tiles.
Exterior Materials – consist of brick exterior walls, a flat built-up roof and metal framed doors and windows.
3.0 ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIAL SURVEY
The asbestos survey was conducted by Robbie Robertson; a licensed and EPA approved AHERA Asbestos Inspector. The survey was conducted on November 19 and 20, 2018 in general accordance with the sampling protocols established by EPA Regulation 40 CFR 763 Subpart E 763.86, AHERA. Site photographs taken during the survey are included as Appendix F.
3.1 Regulatory Overview
An ACM is defined as any material containing asbestos of any type in an amount greater than one percent (1%). 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 packing materials, gaskets, resilient floor coverings and asphalt roofing products containing more than 1 percent (%) asbestos.
Category II non-friable ACM are non-friable 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/demolition activities are considered regulated ACM (RACM). RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Asbestos Standard for Construction Industry (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. A full copy of the OSHA asbestos standard for general industry may be found at OSHA’s website (www.osha.gov) and should be referenced for specific information.
3.2 Visual Assessment
Our survey activities began with a visual observation of the interior and exterior of Building 1046 to identify apparent homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. A homogeneous area consists of building materials, which appear similar throughout in terms of color, texture and date of application. Building materials which were not identified as concrete, glass, wood, masonry, metal or rubber were considered suspect ACM.
ARM lifted floor coverings in several areas, where possible, and did not observe additional flooring layers unless mentioned in this report; however, as ARM could not observe the materials beneath all floor covering in all areas, there may be isolated areas of additional suspect material present beneath existing flooring.
3.3 Physical Assessment
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.
3.4 Sample Collection
Based on the results of the visual sampling, bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in general accordance with AHERA sample collection protocols. Random samples of suspect materials were collected 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 was based on visual observations and the assumption that like materials in the same area are homogeneous in content. Forty-two (42) bulk samples were collected from fourteen (14) homogeneous areas of suspect ACM in the building. Sample locations are depicted on the Figure 1 Floor Plan, which is included as Appendix A.
3.5 Sample Analysis
Bulk samples were submitted under chain of custody to EMSL Analytical Inc. (EMSL) of Pineville, North Carolina for analysis by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining techniques per EPA EPA/600/R-93/116. The percentage of asbestos, where http://www.osha.gov/ applicable, was determined by microscopical visual estimation. EMSL is accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program NVLAP (#200841-0). If applicable, layered analysis of samples was conducted by the lab to separate the tile and mastic, plaster base coat and finish, layers of vinyl sheet flooring, cove base & mastic, and the drywall and joint compound.
Asbestos Sample Summary Tables of the suspect ACM samples collected during this assessment are included as Appendix B. The complete laboratory analytical results are included as Appendix C.
3.6 Results and Recommendations
Based on the results of laboratory analyses, none of the sampled building materials tested positive for asbestos at a concentration >1%.
The asbestos survey was limited to the accessible building material/components. In the event that any suspect ACM, which was not addressed in this survey is encountered, the material / component should be presumed to contain asbestos until analysis can be conducted.
4.0 LEAD BASED PAINT SURVEY
4.1 Scope of the Limited Lead-Based Paint Survey
ARM personnel conducted a limited lead-based paint (LBP) survey of accessible building components on November 19 and 20, 2018. The LBP survey was conducted using a Niton XL-309 X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Analyzer (Serial #17307) to measure the lead content of surface coatings on representative homogenous building components. A homogenous building component is a building material that is uniform in paint color, texture, and appears identical in every respect.
The sample methodology for this survey was limited in scope and generally based on the 1997 revised United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) guidelines.
HUD and EPA guidelines define lead-based paint as any paint with equal to or greater than 1.0 milligram of lead per square centimeter of painted surface (mg/cm2) when measured by X-ray Fluorescence. The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) defines lead based paint as any paint that is equal to or greater than 0.7 mg/cm2 when measured with an XRF. In this survey, the regulatory limit
(0.7 mg/cm2) established by SCDHEC was used when measured by the XRF since the structure is slated for renovation or demolition. All waste debris coated with lead-based paint equal to or greater than 0.7mg/cm2 must be disposed of in an approved Class Two (C&D) or Class Three (MSWLF) landfill or approved metal recycler. Any building components coated with paint containing lead should be handled in a manner that minimizes the exposure of building occupants or maintenance / renovation / demolition personnel to airborne lead contaminants. Interior room equivalents are identifiable parts of a building (such as a room or a hallway) and are generally listed by number, starting with the first room of the main entrance and proceeding clockwise around the building.
The main entrance of the structure was considered to be the front entrance and all walls or building components are labeled A, B, C, or D with A facing the entrance of the building and proceeding clockwise. Floor plans indicating the locations of the building components tested for LBP in the subject building are included in Appendix A of this report.
4.2 Summary of Lead-Based Paint Results
Coated surfaces on the referenced building were analyzed with the XRF. The following building components listed in Table 2 tested positive or are assumed positive for lead-based paint.

4.3 Lead-Based Paint Survey Results / Recommendations
Based on the XRF results, the following building components tested positive or are assumed positive for lead-based paint:
Yellow Floor Lines at Concrete Floor – Building Hangars (Sides A,B,C & D)
Building materials with lead-based paint are subject to South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control regulations pertaining to waste disposal, and to OSHA regulations pertaining to worker safety. If these building components are disturbed during renovation or demolition, contractors and workers should be informed as to the presence of lead-based paint and appropriate work practices and personal protective equipment should be used to prevent exposure to lead dust/fumes or spreading lead contamination from the work site. The building components containing lead should be disposed of in accordance with federal and state regulations.
Any building components to be removed containing equal to or greater than 0.7mg/cm lead-based paint should be disposed of in a Class II or Class III solid waste landfill or recycled by an approved metal recycler. If any paint is to be removed from the building components (chemical stripping, scraping, sandblasting, etc.) the paint residue after removal should be tested for lead using the toxic characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) to determine if the paint waste should be handled/disposed of as hazardous waste.
This survey was limited to accessible building materials tested. All painted surfaces on each building material not tested during the survey, should be presumed to contain lead-based paint until XRF or laboratory analysis can be conducted.
5.0 MOLD SURVEY
5.1 Introduction
ARM Environmental Services, Inc. (ARM) has completed a visual Mold Survey of Building 1046 at McEntire Joint National Guard Base in Eastover, SC. The purpose of the mold evaluation was to identify visible fungi/microbial growth on interior building components.
5.2 Scope of Mold Survey
ARM personnel conducted a limited mold evaluation of Building 1046 on November 19 and 20, 2018. The evaluation consisted of the following activities:
A visual reconnaissance of the subject building.
5.3 Summary of Mold Survey
No visible mold growth was observed in Building 1046.
5.4 Air and Surface Sample Results
It should be noted that no air or surface samples were collected during this mold survey.
6.0 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SURVEY
A visual survey was conducted for evidence of electrical components that may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in refrigerators, freezers, heating and cooling systems, and mercury in fluorescent bulbs/switches/thermostats. The observations and findings of our hazardous materials survey are as follows:
Four (4) single phase transformers and two (2) pad-mounted transformers were observed during the survey. Only one of these transformers is labeled “non-PCB containing”. Any transformer without this label is assumed to contain PCB’s. Also, approximately ninety-four (94) Electric Light ballasts were observed in Building 1046. Based on the appearance, it is likely that the light ballasts do not contain PCB’s. However, it should be noted that these fixtures were not dissembled in order to observe the labelling. The ballasts and transformers are to be considered hazardous unless non-PCB labels are found during removal and disposal.
Removal and disposal of known or assumed PCB materials should be handled in accordance with 40 CFR Part 761 Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB’s)
Manufacturing, Processing, and Distribution in Commerce, and any state regulations that may apply.
Approximately one hundred eighty (180) Fluorescent light tubes, twenty four (24) high intensity exterior light bulbs, fourteen (14) high intensity interior light bulbs, and twenty four (24) fire alarm lights which are believed to contain mercury were documented. In the event that they would be removed, the light tubes and bulbs require special handling and recycling methods due to the presence of mercury.
The removal and disposal of mercury containing materials should comply with 40 CFR Part 273 Standards for Universal Waste Management, and any state
Twelve (12) HVAC units were observed in and around the building. Since there was no refrigerant labeling visible which substantiated the absence or presence of chlorofluorocarbons, the units are therefore assumed to contain chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) should they be removed. The disposal of refrigerants should be done in accordance with EPA regulations, including 40 CFR Part 82 (Protection of Stratospheric Ozone), and any state regulations that may apply.
There were three (3) thermostats (non-mercury), eighteen (18) emergency exit signs and eight (8) fire alarm batteries in the building. These and other batteries can contain Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) that are considered hazardous should they be removed. The disposal of hazardous batteries should comply with 40 CFR Part 273 Standards for Universal Waste Management, and any state regulations that may apply.
Approximately nine (9) computers/monitors are present in the building. Please note that should these be removed, the monitors and computers contain potentially harmful components such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, or brominated flame retardants. Electrical computer components require special handling and recycling methods due to the presence of these hazardous materials.
Approximately eight (8) sixteen pound dry chemical fire extinguishers are present in the building. If the fire extinguishers are removed from the building, please note that they are under pressure and contain ammonium phosphate which is known to be highly corrosive. The extinguishers would require special handling and recycling methods due to the presence of these hazardous materials.
There are four (4) 55 gal drums of cleaning compound containing D-Limonene which can be toxic causing irritation to the eyes and skin. The liquid is also flammable and requires special handling and recycling.
Other potentially hazardous materials include one (1) 55 gal drum of paint related liquid, one (1) 5 gal container of paint thinner, one (1) 10 gal drum of jet filters, and one (1) 20 gal drum of jet waste bags.
This building has a fire extinguishing foam known as Jet X- Type C High Expansion Foam Concentrate that will release from overhead dispensers should there be a fire. This foam concentrate can be toxic causing irritation to the eyes and skin.
There are two (2) Underground Storage Tanks (UST’s) on site including one (1)
1,000 gal jet fuel tank and one (1) 8,000 gal tank which contains paint, grease, and sludge from jets. There are three (3) monitor wells on site which are near the 8,000 gal UST.
There are two (2) mobile fuel tanks which contain 370 gal of jet fuel each. These are in front of Building 1046 near the flight line.

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.
