1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

INTRODUCTION

ITI of South Florida, Inc. (ITI) has completed a survey for asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and PCB Transformer Labels located at the Bell US Army Reserve Center for the Administration Building (Patton Hall – Building 1), OMS Building (Building 321), Storage (Building 331) and Training Building (Building 334).

The scope of this work included the review of available records and an on-site investigative survey of facilities including bulk sample collection and analysis of suspect asbestos containing materials. Destructive survey techniques were not used. Accessible suspect asbestos containing building materials, including thermal system insulation and roofing materials, were evaluated. Representative material samples, including core samples, were collected from each homogeneous area of suspect ACM.

WARRANTY

The field and laboratory results reported herein (only if bulk samples are collected) are considered sufficient in detail and scope to determine the presence of accessible and/or exposed suspect asbestos containing building materials in the facility. ITI warrants that the finings contained herein have been prepared in general accordance with accepted professional practices at the time of its preparation as applied by similar professionals in the community. Changes in the state of the art or in applicable regulations cannot be anticipated and have not been addressed into this report.

The survey and analytical methods have been used to provide the client with information regarding the presence of accessible and/or exposed suspect asbestos containing building materials existing in the facility at the time of the inspection. Test results are valid only for material tested. There is a distinct possibility that conditions may exist which could not be identified within the scope of the study or which were not apparent during the site visit. This inspection covered only suspect accessible materials with no destructive survey techniques. The study is also limited to the information available from the client at the time it was conducted.

2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Based on the review of previous asbestos surveys prepared in August 1988 by IT Corporation and March 1996 by Harding Lawson Associates (HLA) and ITI’s survey of buildings, ITI has concluded that the following materials contain asbestos:

63D RSC (Bell, CA) ITI of South Florida 4

Administration Building (Patton Hall) – Building 1

Ø 12 x 12 inch beige mottled floor tile mastic (mastic only) Ø 12 x 12 inch white streaked floor tile and associated mastic Ø Drywall joint compound

OMS Shop – Building 321

No visible or accessible asbestos identified in survey

Storage Building – Building 331

Training Building – Building 334

In addition to the previous surveys, a total of 26 bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected by ITI from various locations throughout the facility. None of the samples were found to be positive when analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) analysis protocol recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (40 CFR 763).

None of the materials tested by ITI were found to contain asbestos.

ITI performed the scope of this work under the direction of Gil Bakshi, Certified Asbestos Consultant. Every reasonable effort was made to access all pertinent data required to identify ACBM within the facility.

The following areas were not tested for asbestos; however, are assumed to contain asbestos:

Ø Roofing on the OMS Shop – Building 321 Ø Roofing on Patton Hall – Building 1 Ø Roofing on the Training Building - Building 334

In addition to the list above, any items that are not listed in this survey that may be disturbed during renovation or demolition activities must be assumed positive or tested.

63D RSC (Bell, CA) ITI of South Florida 5

3.0 DESCRIPTION OF FACILITIES

The Bell USARC is located at 5340 Bandini Boulevard, Bell, California. Four buildings are located within the facility (scope of work), the Administration Building (Patton Hall

– Building 1), the Operation Maintenance Shop (OMS – Building 321) Building, the Storage Building (331) and the Training Building (334). The buildings are used primarily for administrative and light vehicle maintenance purposes.

Patton Hall (Building 1) is a two-story concrete and concrete block structure. The roof was not accessible at the time of the survey, but was observed to be corrugated steel on a concrete deck. The building contains approximately 15,775 square feet of floor space and is used primarily for administrative and classroom purposes.

The OMS Building (Building 321) is a one story concrete and concrete block structure.

The roof was not accessible at the time of the survey, but was observed to be an asphalt and gravel composition roof. The building contains approximately 17,674 square feet of floor space and is used primarily for vehicle repair.

The Storage Building (Building 331) is a one story metal storage building with a corrugated steel roof. This building contains approximately 85,149 square feet of floor space and is used primarily for storage.

The Training Building (Building 334) is a three story concrete and concrete block structure. The roof was not accessible at the time of the survey, but was observed to be an asphalt and gravel composition roof. The building contains approximately 83,140 square feet of floor space and is used primarily for administrative purposes.

4.0 PREVIOUS INSPECTIONS

The 63D RSC provided ITI with two previous surveys performed by IT in January 1988 and HLA in March 1996. ITI reviewed the survey reports prior to visiting the site and referenced it to confirm findings of the initial visual surveys performed by ITI. These surveys are presented in Appendix I.

5.0 SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES

During this survey, ITI accredited inspector, Mr. Gil Bakshi performed a walk-through of the subject building. This was performed in order to identify and delineate locations of homogeneous materials suspected of containing asbestos. A homogeneous material is defined as material that presents similar distinguishing features such as contents. Once homogenous materials were identified, bulk samples were collected by ITI accredited inspector from materials in order to confirm the presence or absence of asbestos in suspect materials. Samples were collected in accordance with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

63D RSC (Bell, CA) ITI of South Florida 6

BULK SAMPLES

The sample numbering scheme was as follows:

BELL-321-01

BELL = Facility 321 = Building 01 = Sample number

During the Inspection, sampling locations were recorded on floor plans.

Bulk samples were sent to LA Labs, Inc. for laboratory analysis. This independent laboratory successfully participates in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for bulk asbestos sample analysis. The samples were analyzed using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) analysis methodology coupled with dispersion staining solutions to distinguish the unique optical properties of mineral forms.

Employing this method of analysis allows asbestos fiber characteristics to colonize, which enables the microscopist to verify the presence or absence, quantity and type of asbestos in the samples. Any product that contains more than one percent asbestos is considered to be ACM by EPA & OSHA. Any product that contains one tenth of one percent is considered Asbestos Containing Construction Materials (ACCM) by Title 8, Section 1529 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR). ITI performed QA/QC sampling for the total collected bulk samples (minimum of 10%). The PLM results are provided in Appendix A to this report.

6.0 ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

All Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM) were classified into the following three types of suspect materials:

1. Surfacing Materials

2. Thermal System Insulation (TSI)

3. Miscellaneous Materials

ACM identified during the building survey was assessed according to the protocol described in 40 CR 763. The protocol evaluates the risk of exposure to airborne asbestos fibers by assessing the condition of each ACM and potential for that ACM to be disturbed and generate fibers. ACM was assessed according to each of the following factors:

63D RSC (Bell, CA) ITI of South Florida 7

(1) Damaged or significantly damaged thermal system insulation ACM.

(2) Damaged friable surfacing ACM.

(3) Significantly damaged friable surfacing ACM.

(4) Damaged or significantly damaged friable miscellaneous ACM.

(5) ACBM with potential for damage.

(6) ACBM with potential for significant damage.

(7) Any remaining friable ACBM or friable suspected ACBM.

ASSESSING CONDITION AND FRIABILITY

The ability of an ACM to be crushed, or reduced to powder by hand pressure is described in 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M (NATIONAL EMMISIONS FOR HAZARD AIR

POLLUTANTS):

Ø Friable (F): ACM that can be crumbled, crushed, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

Ø Nonfriable Category 1(NF1): Asbestos containing packing, gaskets, resilient floor coverings, asphalt roofing products, caulks, and mastics. These bituminous materials are assumed to remain nonfriable if demolition is performed using “normal” methods, but will become friable if severely weathered, sanded, or abraded.

Ø Nonfriable Category 2 (NF2): ACM excluding Category 1 nonfriable ACM, that, when dry and in its present form, cannot be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure; however, these materials may become friable during demolition activities. These products include Transite board and asbestos cement products.

The condition of ACM including severity and extent of damage is classified into one of the following categories:

Ø Significantly Damaged: ACM that is crumbled, blistered, gouged, marred, delaminated, or otherwise damaged either uniformly or locally over a substantial portion of its surface area.

Ø Damaged: ACM that is crumbled, blistered, gouged, marred, delaminated, or otherwise damaged either uniformly or locally overall a small portion of its surface area.

Ø Good: ACM with very little or no damage.

Ø Potential for Disturbance: The potential for disturbance of each ACM was evaluated with respect to the types and frequency of occupancy, whether the ACM was accessible to area occupants, including vibration and air erosion.

63D RSC (Bell, CA) ITI of South Florida 8

See Appendix B for details and description of Potential for Disturbance Factors.

HAZARD RANKING ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY

This hazard assessment combines the level of potential disturbance with the current condition of the ACM to indicate overall hazard potential. After the current condition from the inspection report is determined, the ACBM will be classified as “significantly damaged”, “damaged” or “good” (40 CFR 763). The rankings of potential hazard range from 1 – most hazardous , to 7 – least hazardous. The highest rank is reserved for ACBM which is “significantly damaged”.

See Appendix C for details and Classification Scheme Flowchart.

See Appendix D for details on Response Action Schemes based on Hazard Rankings.

7.0 RESPONSE ACTIONS

ITI’s Response Actions (RA) and abatement priority for each ACM were based on the results of the assessment. Prioritization also has seven classifications: Priority (1) indicated that an ACM represents an immediate hazard and should be isolated and removed as soon as possible. Priority (7) indicated that an ACM represents little risk of exposure and should be managed in place. RA’s include one or more of the following:

Ø Operations and Maintenance (O & M) Program: Managing all ACM in accordance with a properly designed and implemented O & M Program. An O & M Program has three components:

1. Identification, training, and notification requirements designed to prevent inadvertent disturbance of ACM.

2. Periodic surveillance of ACM to monitor its condition and modify the response actions or the program, as necessary.

3. Procedures to repair damaged ACM, clean up debris, and respond to fiber releases in the event that ACM is damaged or dislodged.

Ø Repair: Returning all damaged ACM to an undamaged or intact state through limited replacement and patching.

Ø Encapsulation: Treating ACM with a liquid that, after proper application, surrounds or embeds asbestos fibers in an adhesive matrix designed to prevent fiber release.

Ø Enclosure: Installing airtight barriers surrounds the ACM to prevent further damage and exposure to occupants.

Ø Removal: Stripping ACM from its substrate within regulated area using trained abatement workers; properly containerizing and disposal of the waste in a landfill.

8.0 ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS

Patton Hall – Building 1

Ø 12 by 12 inch beige mottled floor tile mastic (mastic only)

According to the HLA report, this material contains 1 to 5 percent Chrysotile asbestos. The asbestos is in the mastic, not in the tile. The material is nonfriable and was in good condition at the time of the survey. Approximately 14,000 square feet of this material is present in the building. ITI has assigned this material a hazard ranking of 7 and an RA of 7.

Ø 12 by 12 inch white streaked floor tile and associated mastic According to the HLA report, this material contains 1 to 5 percent Chrysotile asbestos. The tile and mastic each contain asbestos. Approximately 150 square feet of this material is present in the latrine area next to Room 101 and in the Room 201 and the Storage Area (Room 209). This material is nonfriable and is in good condition. ITI has assigned a hazard ranking of 6 and an RA of 6.

Ø Drywall, tape, and joint compound

According to the HLA report, this material contains 1 to 5 percent Chrysotile asbestos. Asbestos was found in the joint compound, not the drywall board or tape. Approximately 11,000 square feet of this material is present in Patton Hall.

This material is nonfriable and is in good condition. ITI has assigned a hazard ranking of 7 and an RA of 7.

13.0 PCB

There were two pad transformers located on the property. There were no PCB labels located on the transformers. One was located outside Patton Hall (Building 1) and one was located outside Building 334.

14.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the findings above, ITI recommends the following:

Ø Observations for detected asbestos was based on visible and accessible materials;

therefore, asbestos containing materials may be present in inaccessible areas such as ceiling plenums, crawl spaces, attics, etc.

Ø An imminent asbestos hazard was present at the facility during the site visit.

o Broken Tile in the Parking Lot (300 sq. ft.)

Ø This report is not intended to be an asbestos abatement design document and should not be used for the purpose of obtaining quotes.

Based on the asbestos present in the building, ITI recommends the following:

Ø Develop and implement an O & M Plan for all known and suspect ACM

There are three primary objectives of the O & M program: (1) clean up existing contamination (2) minimize further fiber release by controlling access to ACM, and (3) maintain ACM until it is eventually removed. Properly prepared and implemented, this plan will document the building owner’s prudence in dealing with asbestos in the building.

Ø Elements of the O & M Program o Notification and Labeling o A visual record of the type and location of known or assumed ACM within the building o Training o Employee protection and medical surveillance programs o Specialized cleaning procedures o Maintenance / Renovation work permit system o Special work practices for maintenance activities o Special work practices for renovation o Emergency response products o Periodic ACM surveillance: and

63D RSC (Bell, CA) ITI of South Florida 13 o Record keeping

Ø General awareness training must be presented to maintenance and custodial workers whose work responsibilities may require contact with ACM or suspect

ACM.

Training and periodic surveillance: Training shall include, but not be limited to:

(i) Information regarding asbestos and its various uses and forms.

(ii) Information on the health effects associated with asbestos exposure.

(iii) Locations of ACBM identified throughout each building

(iv) Recognition of damage, deterioration, and delaminating of ACBM.

(v) Descriptions of the proper methods of handling ACBM.

(vi) Information on the use of respiratory protection as contained in the EPA/NIOSH

Guide to Respiratory Protection for the Asbestos Abatement Industry, September 1986 (EPA 560/OPPTS-86-001), available from the Director, Environmental Assistance Division (7408), Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, Room E-543B, 401 M St., SW., Washington, DC, 20460.

(vii) Provisions of this section and Sec. 763.91, Appendices A, B, C, D of this subpart E of this part, EPA regulations contained in 40 CFR part 763, subpart G, and in 40 CFR part 61, subpart M, and OSHA regulations contained in 29 CFR 1926.1101.

(viii) Hands-on training in the use of respiratory protection, other personal protection measures, and good work practices.

Periodic surveillance: At least once every 6 months after a management plan is in effect, the Owner should conduct periodic surveillance in each building that contains ACBM or is assumed to contain ACBM.

Each person performing periodic surveillance shall: Visually inspect all areas that are identified in the management plan as ACBM or assumed ACBM and record the date of the surveillance, his or her name, and any changes in the condition of the materials.

Ø Training Requirements of the DOSH Asbestos Standard.

The DOSH asbestos standard (8 CCR § 1529) includes training requirements that are triggered by exposures exceeding the Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL).

Unless employees receive an appropriate level of training, those employees who work in buildings that contain ACM run the risk of disturbing the materials.

Pursuant to 29 CFR 1926.1101, employers must provide “Class IV” training to all employees who engage in activities during which they may contact known or suspect ACM or who engage in activities to clean up ACM debris. DOSH defines Asbestos Containing Construction Material as containing greater than 0.1 percent

63D RSC (Bell, CA) ITI of South Florida 14 asbestos. These employees include custodial or maintenance employees employed by or contracted on behalf of the USARC.

Ø Conduct periodic surveillance of all areas that contain known or suspect ACM.

Periodic review of the O & M program is essential to insure that the program objectives are being met. A key feature of the review is re-inspection of all ACM in the building. Combined with ongoing report of changes in the condition of the ACM made by service workers, the re-inspection will insure that any damage or deterioration of the ACM will be detected and corrective action taken. Re-inspection should be conducted at least annually; more frequently if necessary.

AHERA required surveillance every six months and re-inspection every three years by an accredited Building Inspector.

Ø Health and Safety Code §25915 et seq.

Also known as the Connelly Bill, these sections of the California Health and Safety Code require that all employees, outside contractors, and co-owners, including building occupants, be notified in writing regarding:

- Existence, location, accessibility, conclusions, and contents of asbestos survey reports and the asbestos management plans.

- Specific locations of ACM.

- General procedures and handling restrictions to prevent or minimize disturbance, release, or exposure.

- Bulk and air sampling results, including the sampling and analytical procedures used.

- Potential health risks or impacts that might result from exposure.

All occupants, employees, and owners must receive the above notification within 15 days following receipt of a survey report by the owner and annually thereafter.

New occupants, employees, and owners must receive the above notification within 15 days from the start of the relationship. All contractors should be notified regarding ACM onsite.

Ø Health and Safety Code §25249

The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Substances Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) applies to businesses of 10 or more employees and requires a warning of the risk of exposure to asbestos in buildings unless that exposure can be shown to be below the “no significant risk” (NSR) level or equal to background levels.

A clear and reasonable “environmental exposure” warning sign must also be posted at least in each area where damaged ACM is present.

63D RSC (Bell, CA) ITI of South Florida 15

Signs typically read:

“WARNING: This area contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer” OR “WARNING: This facility contains asbestos, a substance known to the State of California to cause cancer”.

Ø Title 29 CFR 1926.1101 (OSHA)

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires notification prior to and immediately following the performance of any work covered by the standard.

The building operator must notify in writing the following persons who will occupy or perform work in areas containing known or suspected ACM of the presence, location, and quantity of known and suspected ACM:

o Prospective employers applying or bidding for work in or adjacent to areas containing known or suspected ACM o Employees of the owner who will work in or adjacent to areas containing known or suspected ACM o On multi employer worksites, all employees who will perform work in or adjacent to areas containing known or suspected ACM o Tenants who will occupy areas containing known or suspected ACM

Refer to 29 CFR 1926.1101 and 8 CCR § 1529 for complete owner notification requirements.

If building demolition or renovation activities will disturb ACM, such activities must be preceded by removal of the affected ACM as required by Federal, State and Local Regulations.

o ACM removal must be performed by a licensed and registered asbestos abatement contractor, in accordance with 8 CCR § 1529.

o Friable asbestos waste and debris containing greater than 1 percent asbestos must be transported by a qualified hazardous waste hauler and disposed of in manner consistent with applicable regulations at a landfill with operating permits and waste discharge requirements that allow it to accept asbestos containing waste.

o If ACM removal is performed, an asbestos abatement project design should be prepared. This project design may consist of technical specifications and drawing or a detailed work plan. The asbestos abatement project design must be prepared by a project designer accredited pursuant to AHERA.

63D RSC (Bell, CA) ITI of South Florida 16 o Asbestos abatement project design, management and monitoring should be conducted by a DOSH Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) and / or certified site surveillance technician (CSST).

Important Values / Definitions from Title 8 CCR § 1529, US EPA & OSHA

Asbestos Containing Material

"Asbestos-containing material (ACM)", means any material containing more than one percent asbestos.

Asbestos Containing Construction Material

"Asbestos-containing construction material" means any manufactured construction material which contains more than one tenth of 1 percent asbestos by weight.

"Asbestos-related work" means any activity which by disturbing asbestos-containing construction materials may release asbestos fibers into the air and which is not related to its manufacture, the mining or excavation of asbestos-bearing ore or materials, or the installation or repair of automotive materials containing asbestos. Asbestos-related work does not include the installation, repair, maintenance, or nondestructive removal of asbestos cement pipe used outside of buildings if the work operations do not result in employee exposures to asbestos in excess of 0.1 fibers per cubic centimeter of air (f/cc) as an 8-hour time-weighted average and the employees and supervisors involved in the work operations are trained and certified by an asbestos cement pipe training program which is approved by the Division.

Permissible Exposure Limits (PELS)

15.0 COST ESTIMATION

ITI’s asbestos abatement cost estimates are listed below for each type of material found to be positive / confirmed asbestos containing in this report. Square footage costs were prepared on the basis of historical units costs and information contained in the “Means Building Construction Cost Data” Manual (Unit Costs).

ITI’s estimated costs listed below may be higher than unit costs to help compensate for the many variables involved in the asbestos abatement industry.

It is always recommended to have an asbestos abatement contractor quote the project to get current and valid cost estimates at the time the USARC will perform the abatement.

Please note that conditions such as separating the work in small projects vs. one large project will greatly increase the cost. In addition, conditions such as weather and time of year will also impact the cost. All unit costs estimates listed below do not include estimated costs for project designs, air monitoring and consulting fees. Estimates are provided if all ACM is assumed to be removed at the same time and does not include the demolition of construction debris to access the ACM.

Estimated Project Designer Fees: $2,000 – 5,000 Estimated Air Monitoring Fees: $400 – 500 / day Estimated Consulting Fees: $50 – 70 / hour
