Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 1 Hangar B1033, Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington

INTRODUCTION

This revised report provides the methods, results, and summary of an inspection for hazardous building materials (HBM) completed by Fulcrum Environmental Consulting, Inc. (Fulcrum) for Hangar Building 1033 located at Fairchild Air Force Base in Airway Heights, Washington. Fulcrum was retained by Tetra Tech to conduct a HBM inspection of Hangar Building 1033 (Hangar B1033).

On October 8, 2019, Amanda Biondi, (#BIR20190104-06) an Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) accredited Building Inspector, Scott Groat, (#BIR20190104-07) an AHERA accredited Building Inspector and Lead Renovator, and Kyle Menke (#BI-19-02) an AHERA accredited Building Inspector and Lead Renovator, all with Fulcrum, completed the HBM inspection. See Appendix A for applicable certifications. See Appendix B for asbestos containing materials results. See Appendix C for lead containing material results. See Appendix D for the photograph layout.

On October 22, 2019, Scott Groat returned to Hangar B1033 for an additional inspection within areas not accessible during the initial inspection. Those spaces included the Fire Suppression Room, Communications/Server Room, and the Compressor Room. This report has been revised to reflect the presence of assumed cement asbestos board within interstitial wall spaces that was identified as a potential condition during design review.

SCOPE OF WORK

Fulcrum was retained by Tetra Tech to complete a HBM inspection of Hangar B1033 located on Fairchild Air Force Base. Fulcrum’s inspection was limited to interior building components, with the exception of perimeter windows, for the following HBMs:

Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) Lead Containing Materials (LCM) Lighting and Electrical Components (LEC)

Fulcrum’s scope of work consisted of site inspections, material sampling, sample analysis, and reporting.

All inspection tasks were completed by accredited, certified, or qualified professionals. Fulcrum did not dismantle onsite equipment to determine if potentially hazardous material components were present.

2.1 Out of Scope Services

Fulcrum’s scope of work was limited to interior building components, with the exception of perimeter windows. As such, inspection of building exterior components, other than potential ACM associated with window units and potential lead on painted exterior metal siding, was excluded from Fulcrum’s services.

However, Fulcrum sampled potential ACM materials on exterior doorframes and associated awnings that were readily accessible, with the intent of providing Tetra Tech with a more comprehensive survey of building materials.

Purpose

The purpose of this inspection was to identify any HBM present within Hangar B1033, so that they can be handled in accordance with applicable regulations during the pending renovation process.

BUILDING DESCRIPTIONS

Hangar B1033 is an approximate 36,000-square foot

(sf) large span steel structure with a corrugated steel roof and siding. The hangar contains a large central airplane repair bay and smaller ancillary areas around the building perimeter used for offices, break rooms, locker rooms, restrooms, and a sheet metal shop.

Interior building materials were comprised of concrete foundation beneath steel and wood framing with a plumbing network of various diameter thermal insulated piping systems. Finishing materials included vinyl and ceramic tiles, carpet, gypsum wallboard, suspended ceiling tiles, and associated sealants. See Appendix D for onsite structure photographs.

ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS

Asbestos containing materials (ACM) were used extensively from the early 1900s to the late 1970s until the manufacture of most asbestos products was banned in the United States. The ban did not include all products nor the use and application of asbestos products. Therefore, suspect ACM may be present in structures built after the initial ACM ban, including newly constructed facilities. Since the 1990s, importation of building materials from foreign countries, perhaps unknowingly, has resulted in the use of ACM in new construction.

Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 3

5.1 Regulatory Basis

The purpose of an asbestos inspection is to be in compliance with regulatory requirements enforced by local, state and federal agencies, including: Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1926.1101, Asbestos; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 40 CFR Part 61, National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs), and 40 CFR Part 763, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA); and Washington State Department of Labor and Industries Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 296-62-077, Asbestos, Tremolite, Anthophyllite, and Actinolite asbestos; and Spokane Regional Clean Air Authority (SRCAA), Regulation 1, Article 9, Asbestos Control Standards. Under these regulations an ACM is defined as any material containing greater than one percent (1%) asbestos.

These regulations require the owner to inspect a facility for the presence of ACM prior to undertaking a construction, remodel, renovation, maintenance, or demolition project, and to provide inspection results to affected contractors or employees.

5.2 Sampling Methodology

The asbestos inspection was conducted by AHERA-accredited Building Inspectors, as specified in pertinent regulatory references.

Fulcrum’s ACM sampling method consists of the following tasks:

Visual inspection of the area of investigation for the presence of suspect ACM and any damage to highly suspect ACM.

Identification of homogeneous materials present within the area of investigation and the

AHERA classification of the material as either a surfacing material (SUR), thermal system insulation (TSI), or miscellaneous material (MSC).

Establishment of the homogeneous material identifier and a description of the homogeneous material, such as, dimensions, color, texture, etc.

Collection and determination of friability for representative sample(s) of the homogeneous material per AHERA sampling requirements.

5.2.1 Visual Inspection

A visual inspection of all accessible spaces within the building was conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory and industry standards.

5.2.2 Material Classification

Under Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), suspect ACM are classified as surfacing (SUR), thermal system insulation (TSI), or miscellaneous (MSC). As defined in AHERA, 40 CFR 763:

Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 4

“Surfacing Material” (SUR) means material in a school building that is sprayed-on, troweled-on, or otherwise applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, or other purposes.

“Thermal System Insulation” (TSI) means material in a school building applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts, or other interior structural components to prevent heat loss or gain, water condensation, or for other purposes.

“Miscellaneous Material” (MSC) means interior building material on structural components, structural members or fixtures, such as floor and ceiling tiles, and does not include SUR or TSI.

Subsequent revisions and regulatory guidance has applied these definitions to all buildings, regardless of use, and inclusion of exterior ACM based on their material type. For instance, pipe insulation in an exterior tunnel is considered TSI.

5.2.3 Homogeneous Areas

An AHERA material classification was further subdivided into “Homogeneous Areas”. Homogeneous Areas are those materials that are consistent throughout a building and are based on color, texture, and/or construction era. Identification of suspect building materials using this homogeneous area definition is the current industry standard, and is the process used by federal, state, and local agencies for determining regulatory compliance.

Homogeneous Areas are often then subcategorized into general material type groups or systems, such as vinyl tile, that can be indexed with an abbreviation, such as VT, for ease of reference in summary data tables.

5.2.4 Representative Samples

Fulcrum collected samples of suspect materials per AHERA regulations, the industry standard for both sample collection and analysis. Except where the AHERA-accredited Building Inspector has identified a limited quantity of suspect MSC, Fulcrum’s standard sampling method requires that analytical results from three (3) samples of each suspect material are collected to determine if a material is a non-ACM. Of each suspect ACM, a representative full-depth sample of the material is sampled and placed into a labeled re-sealable bag.

Where Fulcrum’s AHERA-accredited Building Inspector identifies a suspect ACM to be unique, the total area/length of the suspect ACM to be limited, or simply an additional confirmatory sample is useful to conclude a report, less than three may be determined by the inspector to be sufficient.

Friability

Friability is an indicator of a material’s potential to release asbestos fibers. Materials are divided into two general friability categories, friable or non-friable.

“Friable” means that the material, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Friable material also includes previously non-friable material that has become damaged to the extent that when dry it may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

“Non-friable” materials are defined as materials which when dry may not be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand pressure.

Friable materials are the most hazardous form of ACM. Their physical composition lends them more susceptible to releasing asbestos fibers into the air when they are disturbed.

Non-friable ACM is generally associated with materials that have the asbestos fibers bound within a protective covering or in an asphalt or concrete/mortar matrix. The release of asbestos fibers by these materials is typically associated with an external force or aggressive action being applied to the material:

sawing, grinding, chipping, sanding, etc. Non-friable ACM are considered the less hazardous of these two categories.

The friability of a material is an important consideration when assessing and recommending a material’s response action. In addition to the assessment considerations, the friability of a material is important with respect to regulatory compliance. Compliance considerations include, but not limited to, worker certification and protection, engineering controls, notification, and disposal requirements.

When determining the friability of a material, Fulcrum inspectors utilize the “hand pressure or touch” test as required by law. However, this friability test was further supplemented by visual observations as to the material’s matrix structure and judging whether an external aggressive action (cutting, sawing, grinding, sanding, etc.) would be required to release asbestos fibers. If a non-aggressive action, such as striking or bumping the material with a sharp object, water damage, delamination, etc. is anticipated to release fibers, the material is classified as a friable material by Fulcrum.

5.3 Homogeneous Materials Identified During the Inspection

The following summary presents the homogeneous areas identified within Hangar B1033 during the inspection by AHERA material classification:

TSI: The AHERA-accredited Building Inspectors classified the following suspect ACM as thermal system insulation materials.

Air cell-like or magnesium (mag)-like pipe run insulation (TSI) Joints, Elbows, and Tees (JET)

Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 6

SUR: The AHERA-accredited Building Inspectors did not classify or assign any suspect ACM as a surfacing material.

MSC: The AHERA-accredited Building Inspectors classified the following suspect ACM as miscellaneous materials and assigned the associated homogeneous abbreviation:

Adhesive (ADV) Bushing (BS) Ceiling Tile (CT) Ceramic Tile (CER) Concrete (CON) Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) Floor Base (FB) Gasket (GAS) Gypsum Wallboard System (GWB) Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Insulation (INS) Miscellaneous (MSC) Sink Coating (SC) Sealant (SEA) Vibration Dampener (VD) Vinyl Tile (VT) Window Glazing (WG)

5.3.1 Assumed Asbestos Containing Materials

An assumed ACM is any material that the inspector assumes to contain greater than 1% asbestos based on previous inspection results; manufacturers’ labels, age, or appearance; or by the inspector’s expertise.

Due to inaccessibility or other means, all materials not sampled by Fulcrum are assumed to be ACM unless otherwise tested.

Based on provided 1953 architectural drawings Fulcrum assumed Cement Asbestos Board to be present within interstitial walls throughout select locations along the perimeter walls of the first and second floors of Hangar B1033.

5.3.2 Assumed Non-Asbestos Containing Materials

Under AHERA inspection criteria, some materials can be assumed to be non-ACM based on manufacturers’ labels, age, appearance, or inspector’s expertise. During this inspection, the following materials were identified and assumed to be non-ACM.

Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 7

Wood Components – shelves, doors, trim, framing, throughout Glass – windows, exterior/interior, throughout Metal – framing, plumbing, ducting, throughout Fiberglass-like insulation – plumbing, ducting, throughout

5.4 Laboratory Methodologies

Fulcrum collected 147 suspect ACM samples during the inspection. Samples were shipped by common carrier, under chain-of-custody to Seattle Asbestos Test, LLC (SAT) located in Lynnwood, Washington.

SAT is a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) certified laboratory (#200768- 0). Submitted samples were analyzed using Polarized Light microscopy (PLM) method EPA 600/R- 93/116. Fulcrum randomly collected an additional 15 duplicate samples during the inspection for quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) purposes. Samples were shipped by common carried, under chain of custody, to NVL Laboratories, an NVLAP accredited laboratory (#102063-0) located in Seattle, Washington, for analysis. Samples were analyzed by PLM, EPA Method 600/R-93/116.

5.5 Laboratory Results

Samples that could be separated into multiple layers in the laboratory were analyzed by individual layer.

Except in specific cases, individual layer analysis, rather than composite analysis, is the determining factor in declaring a material an ACM or a non-ACM. For report identification purposes, the layers received a number designation. The laboratory analytical results are presented in full in Appendix B.

5.5.1 Asbestos Containing Materials

By regulatory definition, an ACM is any homogeneous area that contains greater than 1 % asbestos in one or more of the samples analyzed or were classified as ACM based on the inability to differentiate between ACM and non-ACM areas.

5.5.2 Materials Containing Less than 1% Asbestos

By regulatory definition, a non-ACM is any material that contains 1% or less asbestos. However, materials with no asbestos identified are managed differently than materials where asbestos is present though at concentrations below the threshold for a regulated asbestos material. The following materials were identified within the investigation area to contain less than 1% asbestos:

Gray window glazing associated with second floor nine (9) pane windows – 0.25 to 0.5 %

Chrysotile

5.5.3 Non-Asbestos Containing Materials

For purposes of this inspection, only homogeneous materials where all samples collected were reported by the project laboratory to contain no detectable asbestos fibers are regarded as non-ACM. See Figure 1 for sample locations and see Figure 2 for ACM material locations. See Appendix B for details of analytical results. See Appendix D for a site photograph layout.

5.6 Asbestos Inspection Quality Assurance and Quality Control

Select duplicate samples were submitted to a secondary analytical laboratory for PLM analysis. Purpose of duplicate sample analysis was to evaluate quality assurance and quality control procedures of sample collection personnel and the selected primary laboratory.

A total of 15 samples were submitted to NVL for PLM analysis and results were reviewed by Fulcrum.

Generally, duplicate sample results were consistent with the primary laboratory analysis, with variation only in the areas of sample layer description and identification of variations in the sample description, not in the difference between ACM and non-ACM designation.

5.7 Asbestos Containing Materials Summary

Fulcrum collected a total of 162 samples of suspect ACM during this inspection. Fulcrum’s findings from the inspection are summarized below:

Asbestos Containing Materials:

Hard mudded fittings associated with 4-inch air cell-like pipe run (Throughout) – 75 Each 6-inch tan mag-like pipe run with associated white cloth outer covering (Throughout) – 675 LF 12-inch tan with white and brown streaks vinyl floor tile with associated black adhesive (Rooms

Cement Asbestos Board within interstitial walls throughout select locations along the perimeter walls of the first and second floors of Hangar B1033 (Throughout) – 4,615 SF

Less than 1% Asbestos

Gray window glazing associated with second floor nine (9) pane windows

Select regulations will apply to activities impacting building materials containing less than 1% asbestos.

Demolition of these materials does not constitute an asbestos project and does not require notifications, certified workers, or the specific work practices outlined for Class II work. However, impact does require the implementation of universal precautions including wet non-aggressive removal, prompt clean up, asbestos awareness training (WAC 296-62-07712), and respiratory protection based on overall dust levels.

Additional direction can be found in the December 28, 2000 WISHA Regional Directive (WRD) 23.30 ASBESTOS-CONTAINING JOINT COMPOUND IN WALLBOARD SYSTEMS. Specific requirements and procedures should be addressed in the abatement specifications by an AHERA Accredited Project Designer.

If any new suspect materials are identified during renovation or selective demolition, work should be halted until the material is sampled to confirm asbestos absence or presence.

Lead Containing Materials

Lead containing materials (LCMs) are any product that are naturally containing, manufactured with, or produced with lead. Lead materials can include but are not limited to paint, varnish, mortar, and alloys.

Lead containing material inspections may be performed using paint chip sampling and laboratory analysis, field x-ray fluorescence (XRF) instrumentation, Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) laboratory analysis, or a combination of those approaches. Fulcrum utilized a paint chip collection approach for this inspection.

6.1 Regulatory Basis

The purpose of the LCM investigation is to facilitate pending modernization and demolition activities in compliance with pertinent regulations while protecting workers, the public, and the environment. For purposes of this investigation, LCMs are being evaluated under or based upon the following regulations:

Worker Protection: WAC 296-155-176, Lead; and 29 CFR 1910.1025(a)(2), Lead Consumer Protection: 16 CFR 1303 Ban of Lead-Containing Paint and Certain Consumer

Products Bearing Lead-Containing Paint and 16 CFR 1500 Federal Hazardous Substance Act

Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 11

Target Housing and Occupants: WAC 365-230 Accreditation of Lead-Based Paint Training Programs and the Certification of Firms and Individuals Conduction Lead-Based Paint Activities and Renovation and 40 CFR Part 745 Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential Structures, Subpart E, Residential Property Renovation, commonly referred to as the Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) regulations

Lead Safe Housing: 24 CFR Part 35 Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential Structures

Waste Characterization: WAC 173-303, Dangerous Waste; and 40 CFR 261, Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste

The most stringent lead regulations are found in construction regulations administered by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), in federally managed areas, and the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) in Washington State. Under these worker protection regulations any material containing a detectable concentration of lead is a LCM. Lead in construction regulations apply to all work environments during many types of tasks including, but 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 thereof, that contain lead, or materials containing lead;

Installation of products containing lead;

Lead contamination/emergency cleanup;

Transportation, disposal, storage, or containment of lead or materials containing lead on the site or location at which construction activities are performed; and Maintenance operations associated with the construction activities described in this section.

In 1978, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), under 16 CFR Part 1303, enacted limits on the lead concentration in household paints to not more than 0.06% lead by weight, or 600 mg/Kg. Under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act of 2008, the acceptable concentration of lead in consumer products was lowered to 0.009% or 90 mg/Kg. While the OSHA has not identified a specific lead concentration below which the lead in construction regulations do not apply, they have issued guidance that the CPSC established values are a reasonable lower concentration for determining applicability of the lead in construction regulations.

Except under specific allowance for some residential renovation debris, all demolition debris must be evaluated for potential toxicity to the environment and evaluated by a process referred to as waste characterization. Under the Washington State Department of Ecology’s (Ecology) Dangerous Waste regulations, any waste must be analyzed for the known and potential constituents, including lead, to determine if the material is leachable above acceptable levels. Demolition debris containing lead must be characterized for leachable lead prior to transport, recycling, or disposal. Lead concentration above

5.0 milligrams per Liter (mg/L) as measured by the Toxic Characterization Leaching Procedure (TCLP)

Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 12 analytical methodology is considered dangerous waste and must be disposed of at a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C landfill.

6.2 Inspection and Sampling Methodology

A visual inspection of accessible portions of the investigation area was conducted. The inspection was conducted in substantial conformance with applicable regulatory and industry standards. Relevant portions of the 1995 HUD guidance (Revised in 2012) and Washington State lead-based paint regulations. The LCM inspection consists of following basic steps:

• Identification of homogenous areas and components

• Paint Chip sample collection for laboratory analysis

Characteristic painted surfaces were classified as homogeneous areas based on color of surface paint, substrate, construction era, and in some cases, color of sublayers. Homogeneous materials are one of the key elements for referencing both lead and non-lead materials identified during the inspection and used within this report. Sample locations in the facility were selected to be representative of the various homogeneous areas. Full-layer thicknesses of existing paint were evaluated to obtain a historical representation of all paints applied to the tested component.

For this inspection report, homogeneous areas/materials were developed using the site figures, surface color, and component composition as primary considerations, supported by visual observations made in the field regarding material appearance, texture, size, color, and/or manufacturers’ labels. Suspect painted surfaces were then sampled to determine if they contained lead or were non-lead containing based on laboratory results. Once the analytical results were received and reviewed, additional samples may be collected for materials with inconsistent results.

6.2.1 Paint Chip Sample Collection for Laboratory Analysis

Under the direction of Fulcrum’s certified Lead Inspector or Risk Assessor, Fulcrum collected 12 paint chip samples of select building materials where homogenous materials were visually identified. Paint chip sample analytical results were used to determine if the lead concentrations in the paint or varnish were above 600 mg/Kg and appropriate for disclosure to the project contractor for worker protection purposes.

Lead paint chip samples were submitted to NVL Laboratories, Inc., a NVLAP accredited laboratory (#102063-0) located in Seattle, Washington, an Environmental Lead Proficiency Analytical Testing (ELPAT) Program certified laboratory. Submitted samples are analyzed by EPA Method 7000B for total lead. See Appendix E for complete lead analytical results.

6.5 Lead Containing Materials Summary

Fulcrum’s LCM inspection included field sampling for laboratory paint chip analysis. Results of the inspection indicate that metal components painted tan, red, white, green, light blue, gray, and black have lead in amounts greater than or equal to the general guideline for worker exposure risk of 600 mg/Kg.

Laboratory results also identified detectable amounts of lead in the white paint associated with insulation, Worker protection regulations apply to potential lead exposure for any disturbance of the paint. These materials are classified as a lead containing material and are regulated under DOSH worker safety regulations specified in Washington Administrative Code 296-155-176.

LIGHTING AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

Lighting and electrical components (LEC) is a general term that refers to potential waste streams associated with all electrical equipment when components fail, are replaced, or are removed during renovation or demolition activities. Waste can include transformers and ballasts with (polychlorinated biphenyl) PCB, non-PCB ballasts, di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) ballasts, mercury vapor lamps and bulbs, mercury switches, and other waste streams.

Electrical transformers have utilized mineral oil mixed with varying quantities of PCB as dielectric fluid since the early 1950s. This mixture was also commonly used in fluid filled light ballasts prior to 1978 the end of the PCB phase out enforced by congress due to its toxicity. In 1979 DEHP was used to replace PCBs as a dielectric in ballasts. By 1985, the dangers of DEHP was realized and all ballasts for four-foot fixtures were manufactured without DEHP. It took six more years, until 1991, to phase out the use of DEHP in ballasts for eight-foot fixtures and high-intensity fixtures. Light ballasts have also been shown to contain other hazardous materials besides PCB and DEHP, both in newer and older ballasts.

Ballasts that have been manufactured without PCB are labeled as “No PCB” or “Non-PCB,” although approximately half of all ballasts labeled non-PCB have been known to contain DEHP. Individual ballasts that are not labeled are assumed to be PCB-containing. Sampling of individual ballasts is not traditionally completed as the testing costs exceed disposal costs.

Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 15

Fluorescent lamps and bulbs have historically contained mercury. Lamps and bulbs that have low concentrations of mercury may be designated with green ends or caps. Although typically of a low quantity, the mercury present in these lamps and bulbs should be captured and recycled, not disposed of in landfills; mercury lamps and bulbs can be managed as universal waste.

Thermostatic switches have historically utilized a mercury-containing device to reflect the temperature within a zone or area. Switches include wall-mounted thermostats and switches incorporated within heating and cooling systems.

7.1 Lighting and Electrical Components Regulatory Basis

This investigation was designed to identify LEC that may require segregation and special handling or waste characterization prior to disposal as a result of modernization and demolition activities.

Requirements for waste characterization are identified in Ecology’s Dangerous Waste Regulations, WAC 173-303; EPA’s Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA), 40 CFR Part 761; EPA’s Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste in 40 CFR Part 261; and EPA’s Designation, Reportable Quantities, and Notification in 40 CFR Part 302.

7.2 Lighting and Electrical Components Inspection Methodology

Fulcrum’s trained inspector conducted a visual inspection of LEC to determine potential hazardous constituents such as polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), or mercury.

Fulcrum completed the following inspection procedures during this LEC inspection:

Record and identify the workspace or functional area being inspected.

Identify the type and number of all lighting fixtures and record tube length, size, and number.

Determine if each light fixture reports as an electronic or magnetic ballast(s) with a Philips

Advanced Ballast Checker. All magnetic ballasts are assumed to be PCB- or DEHP fluid-containing.

Observe any plastic or metal diffusers or other covers for indications of oil staining or discoloration that may be associated with an oil release, electrical fire or sparking, failed ballast, etc.

Identify number of other bulb or fixture types.

Record observations.

7.3 Lighting and Electrical Components Identified During Inspection

Fulcrum’s inspection identified predominantly florescent lighting fixtures throughout Hangar B1033, with localized used of compact fluorescent bulbs. Additionally, the majority of light fixtures contained fluorescent lamps or compact florescent lamps four-foot in length with limited use of two-foot lamps.

Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 16

Many of the light fixtures in Hangar B1033 were located on high ceilings and Fulcrum was unable to field verify bulb and ballast type. All fluorescent lamps and bulbs inspected were assumed mercury containing and any light fixtures unable to be field verified were assumed to be PCB-containing. See Table 3 for a summary of fluorescent lighting components identified during the inspection.

7.4 Lighting and Electrical Components Summary

Fulcrum identified multiple types of fluorescent light fixtures throughout Hangar B1033. All mercury fluorescent bulbs and mercury containing halogen bulbs encountered during demolition activities should be removed and recycled or disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements.

Conclusions

8.1 Asbestos Containing Materials

Fulcrum collected a total of 162 samples of suspect ACM during the inspection for Building 1033 located on Fairchild Air Force Base near Spokane, Washington. Laboratory analysis identified the following materials to be ACM:

Hard mudded fittings associated with 4-inch air cell-like pipe run 6-inch tan mag-like pipe run with associated white cloth outer covering 12-inch tan with white and brown streaks vinyl floor tile with associated black adhesive

Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 17

Hard mudded fittings associated with 8-inch mag-like pipe run 8-inch mag-like pipe run with associated white cloth outer cover Hard mudded fittings associated with 6-inch mag-like pipe run 3-inch mag-like pipe run with associated white cloth outer covering Exterior gray doorframe sealant

All ACM materials will require abatement by a Washington State licensed Asbestos Contractor following all pertinent regulations prior to building demolition. If any new suspect materials are identified during demolition, work should be halted until the materials are sampled to confirm absence or presence of asbestos in the material.

8.1.1 Assumed Asbestos Containing Materials

Cement Asbestos Board within interstitial walls throughout select locations along the perimeter walls of the first and second floors of Hangar B1033 – 4,615 SF

All ACM materials will require abatement by a Washington State licensed Asbestos Contractor following all pertinent regulations prior to building demolition. If any new suspect materials are identified during demolition, work should be halted until the materials are sampled to confirm absence or presence of asbestos in the material.

8.1.2 Materials Containing Less Than One Percent Asbestos

The following materials were identified through laboratory analysis to contain less than 1% asbestos:

Gray window glazing associated with second floor nine (9) pane windows

Select regulations will apply to activities impacting building materials containing less the 1% asbestos.

Demolition of these materials does not constitute an asbestos project and does not require notifications, certified workers, or the specific work practices outlined for Class II work. However, impact does require the implementation of universal precautions including wet non-aggressive removal, prompt clean up, asbestos awareness training (WAC 296-62-07712), and respiratory protection based on overall dust levels.

Additional direction can be found in the December 28, 2000 WISHA Regional Directive (WRD) 23.30 ASBESTOS-CONTAINING JOINT COMPOUND IN WALLBOARD SYSTEMS. Specific requirements and procedures should be addressed in the abatement specifications by an AHERA-Accredited Project Designer.

8.2 Lead Containing Materials

Fulcrum’s LCM inspection consisted of paint chip sampling and analysis. Of the 12 paint chip samples collected for analysis, eight (8) had lead concentrations above the CSPC level of 600 mg/Kg, and one (1) sample had detectable concentrations of lead but was below the CSPC level of 600 mg/Kg. All similarly

Hazardous Building Materials Inspection 18 coated or painted components should be assumed to be lead containing. These materials are regulated under DOSH worker safety regulations specified in Washington Administrative Code 296-155-176.

Contractors impacting any lead containing materials should conduct activities in compliance with their written Lead Compliance Plan and all applicable regulatory standards. This report should be made available to occupants, maintenance personnel, and contractors in compliance with hazard communication requirements.

8.3 Lighting and Electrical Components

All fluorescent lamps, ballast, fluorescent bulbs, and mercury encountered during demolition activities should be removed and recycled, or disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal requirements prior to building demolition.
