Asbestos Survey, Fort Hood, Texas September 1997
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Radian International LLC, under contract with the United States Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE), Contract DACA56-94-D-0015, performed a facility-wide asbestos survey at Fort
Hood, Texas, to meet the following project objectives:
Identify and locate, to the extent possible, all friable and non-friable suspect asbestos-containing materials (SACM);
Evaluate the condition of the SACM, collecting sufficient data to perform a risk assessment and to prioritize materials for appropriate response actions;
Collect and analyze bulk material samples in order to quantify, in metric units, SACM which contain greater than 1% asbestos;
Identify and quantify material which is presumed to contain asbestos;
Conduct risk assessments for all asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and presumed
ACM (PACM);
Conduct air monitoring where necessary according to risk assessment models; and
Prepare an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) program (under separate cover) for all
ACM and PACM.
The survey included base buildings and approximately 10% of the family housing buildings at
Fort Hood. Mr. Emmet Gray, Directorate of Public Works, is the post contact for this project.
This report presents the findings from the asbestos survey at Building 21007.
1.1 Physical Inspections
Survey teams visually inspected the accessible areas of the interior and exterior of each building, including interior and exterior rooms, mechanical spaces, storage areas, crawl spaces, attics, and roofs, to identify appropriate homogeneous areas (i.e., unique SACM or PACM). A reasonable effort was made by the survey team to gain access to inaccessible areas. If access could not be gained, the survey team made assumptions regarding the presence and quantity of SACM based on the visual inspection of the remainder of the building and interviews with the building occupants.
The following steps were taken to complete physical inspections.
1. Obtain a copy of the building floor plan.
2. Perform an initial building walk-through.
a) Note fire doors/walls on the floor plan.
b) Identify homogeneous areas.
c) Identify locations of friable and non-friable SACM and PACM. PACM is defined as SACM which could be visually identified but which were inaccessible for sampling, or were not sampled at the client’s request.
d) Note the type, estimated quantity, description, friability, and physical damage of each SACM and PACM. Mark location(s) of SACM and PACM on the floor plan and take one color photograph of each homogeneous area to show materials and conditions present at the time of the survey.
e) Define the bulk sample locations.
1.2 Bulk Sampling and Analysis
Homogeneous materials were categorized by the survey teams as surfacing materials, thermal systems insulation (TSI), or miscellaneous materials. Building age, use, and size were taken into consideration, along with building materials, when determining sample locations. Three bulk samples were obtained from each SACM within each building surveyed. Homogeneous areas categorized as PACM were not sampled. Where applicable, bulk samples were collected from all material layers (e.g., roofing and flooring materials). Samples were collected by cutting, scraping, and/or coring. The following procedures were used during bulk sample collection:
1. Mark sample locations on the floor plan using a unique identification number.
2. Record SACM sample information on a field data sheet, including:
a) Building number and room number/area description;
b) Typical occupancy and population;
c) SACM description (e.g., pipe insulation, 9x9 brown floor tile, etc.);
d) Estimated quantity of SACM (i.e., area or length);
e) Friability;
f) Physical damage;
g) Potential for damage or disturbance during maintenance;
h) Potential cause of damage or disturbance; and
i) Unique sample identification number.
3. Take one color photograph from each homogeneous area to show materials and conditions present at the time of the survey.
4. Repair any damage caused by sampling using sealants and methods approved by the
Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).
Samples were analyzed by RJ Lee Group, Inc. laboratory in Houston, Texas, using polarized light microscopy (PLM) coupled with dispersion staining (DS) in accordance with the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)-approved method USEPA 600/R-93/116: “Method for Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Samples.” In accordance with the Scope of Work dated 20 August
1996, point-counting was not performed. In order to meet quality assurance/quality control
(QA/QC) requirements, triplicate samples were collected from 5% of the sample locations for the overall project. Two of the samples, the normal and duplicate samples, were analyzed by the RJ
Lee Group laboratory. The third sample is the QA sample that was sent to the USACE
Southwestern Division Laboratory (SWD) in Dallas, Texas.
1.3 Sample Numbering Scheme
Unique identification numbers were assigned to each sample using the following numbering scheme:
aaaaa-b-c-xd, where:
aaaaa identifies the five-digit building number;
b identifies the subdivision within that building;
c identifies the homogeneous area;
x identifies the sample type, where:
0 = normal sample
8 = field duplicate (QC sample)
9 = QA sample d identifies the sample number (1,2, or 3)
[Note: “b-c” represents the unique homogeneous area identification (ID) for a particular building. When necessary, “e” is used by the laboratory to identify additional layers of material not separated in the field (e.g., tile and mastic associated with flooring materials)].
2.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
Building 21007, encompassing an area of 11,949 sq ft, is a Enlisted Personnel Dining Facility built in 1966. A building floor plan is presented in Appendix B.
3.0 DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
Building 21007 was inspected during February 1997, and was reinspected during April 1997 for additional mastic samples. During these inspections, 14 homogeneous areas were identified and
36 normal samples were collected. Table 3-1 presents a summary of PACM identified during the survey of Building 21007. Appendix A contains a detailed table of homogeneous area descriptions for all SACM and PACM, and PLM analytical results for samples collected in
Building 21007. Sample and photograph locations are presented in the Building 21007 floor plan (see Appendix B). Table B-1 contains information regarding inspector, risk assessor, and laboratory licenses for this building survey. Appendix C contains representative photographs of each PACM identified in Building 21007.

2 This homogenous area was inaccessible to the inspection team.
m2 = Square meter
Homogeneous areas 1-B and 1-C were identified as PACM. No ACM was identified in this building. The risk assessment and abatement cost estimates for these materials are further discussed in Sections 4 and 5. The crawl space and homogeneous area 1-B were inaccessible to the inspection team. Interior and incoming electrical wiring appeared to be non-ACM.
Field duplicate (QC) samples were collected at locations 21007-1-F-01 and 21007-1-K-01. The results of analysis for the QC samples indicated asbestos levels less than 1% (non-detect). These results are consistent with the normal samples, which also indicated that asbestos was not measured above 1 percent.
4.0 RISK ASSESSMENT
A risk assessment was conducted for each homogeneous area containing ACM or PACM identified within the building using a modified version of the Air Force Guidance for Rating and
Assessing Damage and Exposure (GRADE) evaluation system. This system employs an algorithm that assists the risk assessor in assigning priorities to various situations identified during the inspection. The GRADE system divides the risk into two categories: damage/risk factors (D) and exposure factors (E). These factors are summed and placed in the following equation:
R = 12.0324 - [(0.1683 x D) + (0.1693 x E)].
Table 4-1 was used to establish a priority rating for each homogeneous area, based on the risk rating or “R” value.
Table 4-1
Priority Rating Table for Recommended Response Actions
Risk Rating (R) Priority Recommended Response Action
R < 6 1 Immediate removal/repair
6 R < 8 2 Planned removal/repair; place in O&M program in interim 1
8 R < 10 3 Place in O&M program
R 10 4 No action required; place in O&M program as a precaution 1 If material is repaired, it will remain in the O&M program until it is removed.
O&M = Operations and maintenance
R = Risk Rating
Risk assessments for the homogeneous areas identified as ACM or PACM in Building 21007 are provided in Table 4-2. Appendix D contains a summary of field observations used to determine damage/risk factors (D) and exposure factors (E). The methodology used to determine these factors is also provided in Appendix D. No air sampling was required in this building based on risk assessment models.

1-B Gaskets; mechanical and boiler rooms PACM 9.5 3
1-C Building caulkings and putties PACM 9.16 4a a Priority rating is 4 because material is not friable.
5.0 ABATEMENT COST ESTIMATES
Abatement cost estimates are based on professional experience and costs from 1996 Fort Hood asbestos abatement contracts. Cost estimates were developed using the unit costs for abatement of the general category of material and the estimated area of identified ACM and/or PACM determined during the survey. Unit rates for abatement include labor, materials, equipment, overhead, insurance, and profit. Abatement unit rates do not include costs for design, air sampling, materials replacement, or off-site disposal. Total costs do not include contract administration costs.
Cost estimates were developed using the assumption that all materials within a building would be abated concurrently. In addition, costs are based on the assumption that all ACM and/or PACM which is friable or which has the potential to become friable during demolition will require removal. Detailed cost estimates for abatement, replacement, and repair of ACM and/or PACM in Building 21007 are presented in Tables 5-1 and 5-2.

Risk Assessment Methodology and Data
A risk assessment was conducted for each homogeneous area containing ACM or PACM identified within the building using a modified version of the Air Force Guideline for
Rating and Assessing Damage and Exposure (GRADE) evaluation system. This system employs an algorithm that assists the risk assessor in assigning priorities to various situations identified during the inspection. The GRADE system divides the risk into two categories: damage/risk factors (D), and exposure factors (E). These factors are summed and used in the following equation:
R = 12.0324 - [(0.1683 x D) + (0.1693 x E)];
Where D = the sum of the values for the following damage/risk observations:
Material type
Potential for contact
Physical damage
Water damage
Potential for damage by repair/maintenance activities
Asbestos content;
And E = the sum of the values for the following exposure observations:
Area of damaged material
Material friability
Population
Activity/vibration
Ventilation
Air movement
Floors
Walls
Barriers
A further breakdown of the values for the subunits under each category is provided in
Tables D-1 and D-2. Summaries of the inspection observations for damage/risk and exposure for the ACM and PACM in Building 21007 are presented in Tables D-3 and
D-4.
