Whereas this project is not required to meet any specific sustainable design levels of performance, sustainable design principles shall be applied to all aspects of design, where feasible.

The “Guiding Principles Checklist” is provided in the Appendix, TAB H.

CHAPTER X – HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

1. General

The environmental/hazmat scope of work for the Quantico National Cemetery former Administration Building (building) is to perform a hazardous materials investigation of the building as required to support the renovation project.

Our scope of work includes: (1) identifying, collecting and analyzing bulk samples of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM), (2) identifying, collecting and analyzing samples of existing paint in the building to determine lead, cadmium and chromium concentrations and (3) inspecting a percentage of existing fluorescent light fixtures for the presence of Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) light ballasts and light tubes containing mercury vapor.

Bulk samples of suspect ACM and existing paints were collected from visibly accessible materials expected to be disturbed by the renovation/demolition work. Destructive activities such as breaking into wall cavities or entering confined spaces were not performed. For a more detailed description of the work performed and recommendations, refer to the hazardous material report.

2. Design Criteria

The hazmat design will be performed in accordance with the USACE Norfolk District Design Guide dated May 28, 2010.

3. Building Description

The building can generally be described as a one-story office building. The ground floor contains approximately 6,000 square feet.

The building is constructed of noncombustible materials such as steel structural members, masonry exterior walls, and concrete floors.

4. Asbestos

a. In March 2015 we collected bulk samples of suspect ACM from the interior and exterior of the building. Building materials which were sampled included 12” floor tile and mastic, drop ceiling tiles, thermal system insulation, drywall and joint compound, various mastics and caulks, etc.

b. The following materials were reported to contain asbestos: 12” x 12” brown floor tile mastic, black mastic/waterproofing on the interior of CMU black walls and silver paint on roofing components. Doors area assumed to contain ACM until they can be destructively sampled and confirmed to be asbestos free.

c. For the renovation/demolition of the building, all friable and non-friable asbestos-containing materials to be disturbed must be removed by a Virginia licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to renovation/demolition. Any non-friable asbestos-containing material may be left in place during the demolition but the contractor must perform work in accordance with National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations.

5. Lead, Cadmium, and Chromium

a. In March 2015, we collected paint chip samples from existing painted surfaces in the building. The purpose of our sampling was to obtain representative data on the total concentrations of lead, cadmium and chromium in the existing painted surfaces scheduled to be disturbed by the renovation/demolition. Sampling results show all of the samples collected and analyzed were found to have lead concentrations above the laboratory's minimum detection limit.

b. As the results indicate, the samples were determined to contain lead, cadmium and chromium concentrations. Therefore, all painted surfaces must be considered lead, cadmium and chromium containing. Appropriate precautions should be taken during the disturbance of all painted surfaces to ensure protection of workers and the environment as established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for lead, cadmium and chromium.

6. PCB Ballasts

a. Our field investigation of existing light fixtures indicated that light fixtures in the building were the fluorescent type. Most of the light fixtures observed incorporated T8 light tubes and electronic ballasts. Some T12 fixtures were also observed.

Electronic ballasts are not PCB-containing. Based on observations of existing ballasts, we recommend assuming that 10% of all light ballasts for the project contain PCBs and all of the light tubes are mercury containing.

b. All light ballasts which are not labeled “NON-PCB” should be handled and disposed of in accordance with 40 CFR 761 “Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) Manufacturing, Processing, Distribution in Commerce, and Use Prohibitions.” All fluorescent light tubes containing mercury vapor shall be handled and disposed of as universal waste in accordance with the Virginia Solid Waste Management Regulations.

7. Design

Design documents will address the removal and disposal of ACM, paints containing lead, cadmium and chromium, fluorescent light ballasts containing PCBs, and fluorescent light tubes containing mercury vapor.

Hazardous materials will be indicated on contract drawings, and technical specifications will be provided to address the removal and disposal of hazardous materials.
