EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Under a contract agreement between Gulf Coast Architectural Group, Inc. (GCAG) and AMEC, AMEC was contracted to perform a Hazardous and Regulated Material Survey for the planned

West HVAC Modification project associated with Building 101U West Section at NAS

Jacksonville. The project involves the modification of the west HVAC system and other associated renovation as generally listed below:

Renovation Areas

AHU’s 2, 6, 7 and 12 on First Floor

AHU’s 4A and 4B on Roof

Liebert Units (x5) on First Floor

Existing Chilled and Hot Water Piping on First and Second Floors

Water Cooled Chillers in SW Mechanical Room

Existing Cooling Towers

Penthouse Mechanical Room Roofing and Siding

Suspending Ceiling/Lighting/Grills on Second Floor

This report presents information obtained during the Hazardous and Regulated Material Survey and includes the following:

• NESHAP Asbestos Survey;

• Paint Containing Lead (PCL) Survey;

• Visual Survey for Hazardous and Regulated Materials.

Field activities for the above referenced tasks were initiated on October 22, 2013 and completed on October 24, 2013. The following is a summary of findings:

Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs):

ACMs were identified on the first floor, second floor and roof. The following materials were found to contain asbestos:

Penthouse Mechanical Room (Roof)

• Pipe Insulation (Unit 3)

• Black Duct Mastic (Unit 3)

• Duct Insulation (Unit 3)

• Black Piping Mastic (4A/4B)

• “Transite” Panels – Assumed PACM (Mechanical Room Walls)

W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 5 ii 5 December 2013

First Floor

• Black Pipe Mastic (Units 1 and 7)

• Pipe Joint Packing (Unit 7)

• Pipe Insulation/Pipe Joint Packing/Pipe Valve Packing (Packing Area North)

• Interior Window Glazing (SW Mechanical North Area)

Second Floor

• Pipe Insulation (upper horizontal section off riser) west hall at north wall

• Pipe Joint Packing (upper horizontal section off riser) west hall at north wall

The friable ACMs (pipe insulation) and non-friable ACMs (black mastic, transite panels, and window glazing) that may become friable during disturbance identified typically require removal by a State of Florida Licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractor prior to any renovation or demolition activities that may disturb the materials.

There appears to be generally two lines of pipe insulation that travel across the building that also have associated risers and branches to HVAC units and penthouse AHU’s. Many pipes are insulated with fiberglass insulation and many of the lines with asbestos-containing pipe insulation have been partially replaced with fiberglass insulation.

Paint Containing Lead (PCL) Survey

Paint-Containing Lead (PCL) was identified on various building components as follows:

Penthouse Mechanical Room

• Interior Wall Support Structures (columns and beams) (Orange Coated)

• HVAC #3 Building Entry Door, Frame and Header (Orange Coated)

• HVAC #5 Building Entry Door, Frame, and Header and Duct Door Frame

• Liebert 1 Door Frame

• Exterior Wall Vent Frames (Orange Coated)

• AHU 7 Area Column D.13

• AHU 6 Area Entry Door Frame

• SW Mechanical Room Door Casement and Entry Door

Each of these components was painted orange at one time; some have since been over coated with other paint. If any of the items coated with PCL are planned to be impacted during the planned renovations we recommend proper removal and handling. Any renovation/demolition

W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 6 iii 5 December 2013 actions that impact these components should utilize proper engineering controls and work procedures to comply with the OSHA Construction Standard for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62). If these

PCL coated components are not going to be removed as part of the project they can be managed in place using an Operations and Maintenance Program (OMP).

Hazardous / Regulated Materials Survey:

The following hazardous / regulated materials were identified:

• Mercury-containing fluorescent lamps

• Potential PCB containing electrical insulating fluids in lighting ballasts and electrical equipment

• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in water fountains, refrigerators, and HVAC equipment

• Fire extinguishers

• Batteries in exit signs, emergency lighting, clocks, and smoke detectors

These materials will require special handling and disposal or recycling in accordance with USEPA and FDEP requirements prior to demolition.

1.0 PROJECT INFORMATION

We understand that Gulf Coast Architectural Group (GCAG) is contracted to GESTRA/Stanley

JV which is comprised of GESTRA Engineering, Inc. (GESTRA) and Stanley Consultants, Inc.

who is contracted to the Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to design a HVAC replacement for Building 101 U West at Naval Air Station (NAS) Jacksonville in

Jacksonville, Florida. We understand that the work area is limited to B101U West Wing which includes approximately 133,500 square feet over two stories. Building 101U was built in approximately 1955 with some expansion and renovation over the years. The building is used for specialized avionics equipment calibration and repair. The building contains several calibration laboratories, including physical, electronic, and automated test equipment.

The HVAC modification project involves the full replacement of the west HVAC system that services the two floors. Details of the replacement are provided in the Scope of Work (SOW)

Architect-Engineering Services dated August 22, 2013.

GCAG contracted AMEC to perform the necessary services to identify potentially hazardous and regulated materials within the work areas and provide project specifications and general notes for the proper handling of the identified materials that may be impacted by the HVAC modification.

1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of the Hazardous and Regulated Material survey is to provide an indication of the presence and extent of potentially hazardous or regulated building materials, equipment, and fixtures (i.e. components) within the structures that will be directly or indirectly affected by the planned project. Specifically, our survey included the west sections of the first and second floors and the rooftop penthouse mechanical room. AMEC’s services for the project included the following:

• NESHAP Survey for Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) that involved the collection of representative samples of suspect ACMs for laboratory analysis of asbestos content by Polarized Light Microscopy.

• Paint Containing Lead (PCL) Survey to identify PCL using a portable X-Ray Fluorescent (XRF) analyzer and confirmatory laboratory analysis of paint chips.

• Visual survey for Hazardous and Regulated Materials to attempt to identify potentially hazardous materials in the buildings and/or suspect

W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 8

2 5 December 2013 building components which could be regulated by governmental agencies.

• Provide recommendations for asbestos abatement and safe handling and disposal of PCL and other hazardous and / or regulated materials identified in the survey.

AMEC performed the field survey between October 22 and 24, 2013. The testing/survey was performed by Mr. James Marsh of AMEC an AHERA asbestos inspector/management planner and EPA Lead Risk Assessor.

2.0 ASBESTOS SURVEY

AMEC performed a National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) [40

CFR Part 61 Subpart M] compliant asbestos survey of the West Section of Building 101U, inclusive of the first floor, second floor and roof. In Appendix C, we present the following:

• Asbestos Bulk Sampling and Laboratory Analysis Protocol; and

• Qualifications of the Report.

2.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of the NESHAP ACM survey is to identify the regulated ACM in the west section of

Building 101U scheduled for HVAC modification. These findings will be used to assist in modification design.

The scope of the asbestos survey included the observation of accessible interior and roof building components for suspected ACM. The suspect materials observed were categorized by type, homogeneous area, general condition, and friability. A homogeneous area contains material that is uniform in texture and appearance, was installed at one time, and is unlikely to consist of more than one type, or formulation, of material. The United States Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) has defined as "friable" those materials that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

Samplings of homogeneous areas of suspect materials were collected in general accordance with current EPA bulk sampling guidelines. This protocol has been found to reduce the likelihood of

"false negative" analyses.

2.2 SURVEY TASKS

The following tasks were performed as part of this asbestos survey:

1. A visual survey was performed to identify homogeneous areas of suspect ACM and to assess potential for damage/disturbance during demolition/renovation operations and their potential to expose demolition/renovation workers to asbestos fibers.

2. Samples of accessible suspect materials were collected and analyzed by AMEC’s subcontracted laboratory following USEPA-recommended procedures. The locations and extents of identified and assumed ACMs were estimated.

3. Report our findings and present recommendations for further actions to accommodate demolition/renovation.

4 5 December 2013

2.3 ASBESTOS BULK SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS

AMEC representative Mr. James Marsh performed the survey between October 22 and 23, 2013.

AMEC utilized accredited asbestos inspector in general accordance with the EPA Model

Accreditation Program (MAP) and State of Florida requirements.

Bulk sample analyses were performed by AMEC’s subcontract laboratory, Cates Laboratories, located in Dallas, Texas. The laboratory is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory

Accreditation Program (NVLAP No. 200569-0) to analyze samples of suspect asbestos-containing material using polarized light microscopy (PLM). The bulk sample analysis was performed in accordance with EPA Method 600/R-93/116.

A total of 65 bulk samples were collected during the survey. The following suspect materials

(materials thought to possibly contain asbestos) were sampled during the survey. Copies of laboratory analyses reports and bulk sample Chain of Custodies are included in Appendix E.

• Pipe Insulation

• Pipe Insulation Black Mastic

• Pipe Joint Packing (Insulation)

• Pipe Wrap

Refer to Appendix B, Table 1: Summary of Bulk Sample Positive Results for Asbestos-Containing

Materials for detailed information regarding sample location, ACM location, quantity, condition, and other information, such as assumed PACM. It should be noted that the quantities and locations provided are estimates only and should not be relied upon for cost estimation without verification.

2.4.1 GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

There are four recognized response actions to manage ACMs in buildings and abate potential hazards to human health and the environment:

• Removal

• Enclosure

• Encapsulation

• Repair of damaged materials in conjunction with special Operations and Maintenance (O&M) and re-observation programs.

The selection of a particular response action should be based upon intended usage of the building, actual exposure rates and cost. The EPA has Federal regulations regarding asbestos removal associated with renovation and demolition projects conducted in “facilities” as defined in the regulations. The EPA NESHAP rule includes several important definitions. The definitions

W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 12

6 5 December 2013 that greatly affect abatement alternatives are the categories of ACM. These categories are as follows:

• Friable ACM means any material that can be reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry.

• Category I Non-Friable ACM means packing, gaskets, resilient floor coverings and roofing products that contain more than one- percent asbestos.

• Category II Non-Friable ACM means any material, excluding Category I Non-Friable ACM that contains more than one- percent asbestos, and is not friable.

• Regulated ACM (RACM) includes all friable ACM; Category I Non-Friable ACM that will be or has been subject to sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading; Category I Non-Friable ACM that has become friable; and Category II Non-Friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming, or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.

OSHA also has rules which govern maintenance, renovation, or demolition work which impacts

ACM, including removal, in public and commercial buildings. The OSHA regulation also defines

Presumed Asbestos Containing Material (PACM) as those materials generally speaking, as having a high probability of containing asbestos. The OSHA construction rules for asbestos establish four distinct classes of work. Each class of asbestos work requires specialized training and engineering controls. The OSHA classes of asbestos work are:

• Class I Asbestos Work means activities involving the removal of ACM insulation on mechanical systems (i.e. pipes, boilers, ducts, etc.) and applied to surfaces (i.e. fireproofing, acoustical treatments, and plaster).

• Class II Asbestos Work means activities involving the removal of materials which are not on mechanical systems or applied to surfaces (i.e. floor coverings, gypsum wallboard, mastics, roofing, etc.).

• Class III Asbestos Work means activities involving the disturbance, for maintenance purposes only, small amounts of ACM up to that amount which will fit in one waste bag.

• Class IV Asbestos Work means clean up of ACM dust and debris on construction projects.

2.4.2 SPECIFIC ASBESTOS RECOMMENDATIONS

Pipe Insulation/Joint Insulation (Friable ACM)

Greater than 1% Chrysotile Asbestos was identified in non-Fiberglass pipe insulation within the survey area. These materials are Friable ACM as defined by the EPA NESHAP. The removal of these materials is defined as Class I asbestos work and must be performed by a State of Florida

Licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractor. Chapter 469, of the Florida Statutes also requires that a state licensed asbestos abatement contractor perform the removal, repair, or encapsulation of this type material.

W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 13

7 5 December 2013

We recommend that all existing non-Fiberglass pipe insulation encountered in the work area should be considered a Friable ACM.

Transite Walls, Interior Window Glazing, Black Mastic

The EPA NESHAP classifies these materials as Non-Friable ACM. While these materials are non-friable, disturbance of the materials will generally render them friable. Removal as RACM is required by NESHAP prior to any activities that subject this material to cutting, sanding, grinding, abrading, or otherwise rendering them friable during demolition activities. This includes activities such as recycling that could abrade, pulverize, etc., the materials and release asbestos fibers.

The OSHA Construction Standard classifies disturbance, removal, or demolition of structures with this material as Class II asbestos work, which requires specialized training and engineering controls, etc. Chapter 469, of the Florida Statutes generally require that a state licensed asbestos abatement contractor perform the removal, repair, or encapsulation of this type material.

2.4.3 STATE OF FLORIDA ASBESTOS REGULATIONS

Chapter 469 of the Florida Statutes generally requires that a state licensed asbestos abatement contractor perform the removal, repair, or encapsulation of the types of ACM identified in this report.

Notification Requirements

Because Building 101U is scheduled for renovation modifications which will impact asbestos, a ten working day written notification is required prior to the start of asbestos removal activities under the EPA NESHAP and FDEP rules. Since the project is located in Duval County, the notification must be made to the FDEP Jacksonville District office using FDEP form

62.257.900(1).

2.4.4 INTERIM MEASURES

We recommend that any occupants of Building 101U be made aware of the presence of the ACM and also instructed to minimize disturbance of the material until removal. If removal is not cost effective at this time, we recommend that control measures be established for any other personnel who may enter the structure to minimize their exposure to asbestos. Also, periodic reassessment of the condition of the asbestos-containing materials should be undertaken and precautions and procedures should be in writing and be thoroughly documented. These features, in addition to others such as training, etc., can be implemented by the adoption of an Operations and

Maintenance (O&M) Program.

W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 14

8 5 December 2013

2.4.5 LEGAL AND MEDICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Due to the health hazards and legal ramifications involved in asbestos exposure in public buildings, an interdisciplinary approach between the engineering, medical and legal communities should be involved when determining an asbestos control program. There is presently a tremendous amount of litigation in the courts concerning present and past asbestos exposure in public and private facilities, as well as in the workplace environment. One basis for much of the litigation stems from the lack of adequate notification by the building owner to building occupants/employees following the identification of asbestos in buildings. As a minimum, building owners should notify building employees, occupants, vendors, and others as required in the

OSHA Asbestos Standards (29 CFR 1910.1001 and 29 CFR 1926.1101). We recommend that you involve appropriate legal counsel in your asbestos control program to address these very important issues.

If, during modification activities, additional suspect ACMs is revealed, bulk samples should be obtained to determine asbestos content.

3.0 PAINT CONTAINING LEAD (PCL) SURVEY

3.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

The purpose of the PCL testing was to identify the lead containing paint located in the renovation areas. Paint coatings visually representative (area/color) were evaluated during this testing.

3.2 LEAD XRF TESTING PROCEDURES

Mr. James Marsh of AMEC performed the initial PCL survey on October 23, 2013. Mr. Marsh is a

Florida EPA Accredited Lead Based Paint Inspector and Risk Assessor. The PCL testing was performed using the Lead Paint Analyzer (LPA-1), manufactured by the Radiation Monitoring

Devices (RMD). The LPA-1 is a portable, in-situ test and measurement instrument that operates on the principal of X-Ray Fluorescence. The instrument contains a small, radioactive sealed source of Cobalt 57. The LPA-1 is a hand-held scanner which contains the radioactive source and is held to the surface to be tested. The device provides an almost instantaneous measurement of K Shell atomic structure values of the material being tested in milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm2). The lead electrons in the K (inner electron shell) are excited by the

Cobalt 57 and release identifying energies that are recognized by the microprocessor by their respective spectrums, thus identifying the presence of lead and its quantity.

The areas tested were chosen by Mr. Marsh based on visual observations and accessibility.

During the testing of walls, the test equipment was placed on the wall at varying vertical heights

(high, middle, low). During the testing of the floors, the test equipment was placed near a corner of the floor surface. During the testing of ceilings, the equipment was placed near the center of the room being tested.

We also obtained three paint chip samples for laboratory analysis for XRF quality control testing purposes. Table 2: PCL Laboratory Test Results summarizes the paint chip sample analysis.

3.3 TESTING CRITERIA AND RESULTS

During the testing forty-seven XRF tests were performed at the project site. Table 3 in Appendix

B identifies test locations and results of the testing. Testing was performed on accessible suspect paint coatings within the designated modification areas within 101U.

W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 16

10 5 December 2013

Based on the results of the XRF testing and analysis of the three paint chip samples, the following building components are noted as having lead concentrations that could potentially be of concern during modification activities:

A summary of the positive paint tests is as follows:

• Nine showed lead concentrations at or above the EPA/HUD definition of lead-based paint

(at or above 1.0 mg/cm2) on tested coatings. These are also regulated by OSHA.

• Seven of the readings were above the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) definition of 90 parts per million (ppm)for lead-based paint (0.018 mg/cm2) . These are also regulated by OSHA

Paint Chip Analysis

We obtained three paint chips during the XRF testing for laboratory analysis for lead to quality control the XRF field test results. Paint chip samples were collected by removing an approximate

1-inch square area of paint to the substrate. The paint sample was placed in a canister, labeled, and sent to EMSL Analytical, Inc. in Cinnaminson, New Jersey. EMSL is an EPA NLLAP accredited laboratory. A total of three paint chip samples were collected and submitted to the laboratory. The result of that analysis is provided in Table 2: PCL Laboratory Test Results presented in Appendix B. The laboratory testing confirmed the results of the field lead content testing performed by the XRF, except for sample PC-2 that was found to contain 0.14% wt lead, whereas the analogous XRF reading was at -0.2 mg/cm2), considered negative.

The paint chip analysis showed detectable lead concentrations in two of the three samples. The

PCL Laboratory Testing Reports of the paint chips are provided in Appendix E.

3.4 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

As a result of the field XRF testing and paint chip sample analysis performed it appears that lead containing coatings include the following:

Penthouse Mechanical Room

• Interior Wall Support Structures (columns and beams) (Orange Coated)

• HVAC #3 Building Entry Door, Frame and Header (Orange Coated)

• HVAC #5 Building Entry Door, Frame, and Header and Duct Door Frame

• Liebert 1 Door Frame

W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 17

11 5 December 2013

• Exterior Wall Vent Frames (Orange Coated)

• AHU 7 Area Column D.13

• AHU 6 Area Entry Door Frame

• SW Mechanical Room Door Casement and Entry Door

We recommend all components coated with orange paint be assumed to be coated with PCL.

Please note that the orange coat may be present beneath other colored top coats.

We assume that removal of the paint coatings would not occur during these modifications.

However, the removal of some components with PCL may be performed and some components with PCL may be points of mechanical attachment. Should renovations necessitate the removal of the existing orange coatings to accommodate components to be installed, portions of the orange coated would need to be removed by a contractor with lead experience and training in accordance with the OSHA lead requirements. The leaded coatings can be managed in place using an Operations and Maintenance Program (OMP).

The OSHA regulations require that exposures to construction workers and general industry personnel be controlled by proper work procedures, proper worker training, respiratory protection, etc. Any renovation/demolition actions should utilize the proper engineering controls and comply with the OSHA Construction Standards for Lead (29 CFR 1926.62).

Regarding PCL disposal, removed coatings and components should be segregated from the renovation/demolition waste stream and coatings tested for leachate lead in accordance with

Toxicity Characteristics Leachate Procedure (TCLP). If testing indicates the PCL waste is within acceptable levels the waste may be disposed as typical C & D waste. If not, the waste may require disposal as a hazardous waste.

Metal building components removed intact can be exempt from TCLP testing, if removed and sent for recycling.

Recycled scrap metal would be exempt from EPA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act

(RCRA), 40 CFR Part 261 and Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP)

Hazardous Waste Rules (per FDEP Solid Waste Memorandum SWM 21.36).

Any chips, dusts, contaminated soils and sludges containing lead based paint debris generated by the demolition or renovation would have to be characterized and managed in accordance with the

RCRA and FDEP hazardous waste rules.

Torch cutting metals coated with lead concentrations of concern should be avoided. Areas that must be torch cut to facilitate component removal should have the torch cut area coatings removed by a lead removal contractor prior to the torch cutting in accordance with the requirements of the OSHA Lead Construction Standards.

4.0 HAZARDOUS AND / OR REGULATED MATERIALS SURVEY

4.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

AMEC’s scope of services included performance of visual observations for other hazardous and regulated materials including mercury found in lighting components and switches, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) found in electrical insulating oils, and hydrocarbon fluids in mechanical equipment. The purpose of the observations is to provide an indication of the presence and extent of potentially hazardous or regulated building materials, equipment and fixtures (i.e.

components) within the survey area.

4.2 FINDINGS

The following hazardous or regulated materials were identified within the survey area:

• Mercury-containing fluorescent lamps

• Potential PCB containing electrical insulating fluids in lighting ballasts and electrical equipment

• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in water fountains, refrigerators, and HVAC equipment

• Fire extinguishers

• Batteries in exit signs, emergency lighting, clocks, and smoke detectors

4.3 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The identified hazardous and regulated materials should be properly removed and handled before renovation and demolition activities begin in the buildings. A removal plan should be developed that includes worker training and protection, identification and removal procedures, storage, transport and disposal procedures. The following sections generally provide appropriate disposal options for the indentified materials.

Fluorescent Light Tubes

The suspect mercury-containing fluorescent lamps should be disposed of or recycled in accordance with 40 CFR Part 273, the Standards for Universal Waste Treatment, unless they are determined not to contain mercury by analysis or manufacturer’s documentation. If present, reliance on the green markings on light tubes designating lamps as “low mercury, non-hazardous” may be appropriate. Generally, these materials may be disposed of in a lined, sanitary (Class I) landfill. These materials cannot be disposed of as Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste in a

C&D (Class III) unlined landfill. Also, no mercury (of any concentration) lamps can be incinerated, W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 20

14 5 December 2013 therefore, in areas where waste is incinerated, disposal in said waste is not allowed. The responsible disposal option for fluorescent bulbs is recycling and arrangements should be made with an appropriate recycler.

Lighting Ballasts, Electrical Equipment, Transformers

The suspect PCB-containing materials should also be disposed of or recycled in accordance with the Standards for Universal Waste Treatment and Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 40 CFR

Part 261, unless they can be determined not to contain regulated concentrations of PCBs. The recommended disposal option is to collect all materials potentially containing electrical insulating fluids and recycle through an appropriate recycler.

Batteries

Batteries may contain lead, nickel, and cadmium and their disposal is regulated by RCRA and the

FDEP. Batteries may not be disposed of in a landfill or municipal waste incinerator.

Arrangements should be made for recycling with an appropriate waste recycler.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

Refrigerants are regulated under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act. Florida regulates CFCs under

FAC 62-281. During removal and disposal, refrigerants may not be knowingly vented to the atmosphere. Instead, refrigerants should be recovered. Refrigerants should be reclaimed and recycled by a qualified CFC reclamation contractor prior to disturbance. Recycling of refrigerants should be performed in accordance with Section 40 CFR 82, Subpart F, Protection of

Stratospheric Ozone Recycling and Emission Radiation.

Fire Extinguishers

The contents of fire extinguishers may be considered hazardous and the contents are often under pressure. Fire extinguishers should be collected from the renovation area and recycled.

C-1 5 December 2013

C.1 ASBESTOS: BULK SAMPLING AND LABORATORY ANALYSIS PROTOCOL

The survey was performed by observing accessible exposed building materials throughout the facility while concentrating on mechanical rooms, ventilation systems, and accessible overhead areas.

The bulk sampling procedures utilized for the collection of suspect materials first required the establishment of a homogeneous sampling area. A homogeneous sampling area is defined as an area of material of the same color and texture applied during the same general time period. The individual sampling areas were then examined and representative samples of suspect materials were randomly taken.

Samples were collected in general accordance with the United States Environmental Protection

Agency’s [USEPA] Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act [AHERA] Protocol. The samples were collected in accordance with the following schedule:

MATERIAL QUANTITY NO. OF SAMPLES

MISCELLANEOUS 2

SURFACING

<1,000 SF 3

1,000 - 4,999 SF 5

>5,000 SF 7

THERMAL SYSTEM INSULATION

<6 SF or 6 LF 1

>6 SF or 6 LF 3

Non-essential personnel were restricted from the area where the sampling was performed.

Members of the field team wore gloves, where appropriate.

The area sampled was misted with amended water from a spray bottle and misted during sampling to minimize fiber release. The material was misted and not saturated with water.

Extremely wet samples make asbestos analysis difficult and time consuming and may affect analysis by dissolving sample components. The suspect asbestos-containing material was penetrated with a knife, forceps, vial, or corer down to the structural member. The tool that minimized the disturbance to the sampled material, and was least likely to cause fiber release, and was most efficient for sampling the particular material at hand was used. Asbestos-containing materials are often layered with asbestos product being located in one of those layers.

W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 32

C-2 5 December 2013

The sample size is approximately 2 sq. cm. in area. Attempts were made to maintain the integrity of all samples.

Whenever possible, a sample was collected from previously damaged locations in order to minimize fiber release.

Each sample was placed in a clear plastic c bag, sealed, and the container labeled. The sampling tool was thoroughly cleaned with a damp disposal towel. The sample area was wet-wiped of any fallen debris. If disposable protective clothing was worn, it was removed slowly and turned inside out during removal. All potentially contaminated rags, debris, suits, and/or plastic sheeting was placed into 6-mil plastic bags with asbestos warning labels. These waste bags were returned to the AMEC’s project manager for proper disposal.

Once a sample had been taken, it was carefully identified with an individual sample number according to the following: a) with a permanent marker label on the sample container. b) A sample field ID number on the site and on the Bulk Sample Chain of Custody Form.

Bulk samples collected during the site survey were returned to a laboratory accredited under the

National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) administered by the National

Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The samples were analyzed by Polarized Light

Microscopy (PLM) coupled with dispersion staining in accordance with EPA Method EPA/600/R-

93/116. Polarized Light Microscopy is an analytical method for asbestos identification which depends on the unique optical properties of mineral forms in the samples, and specifically identifies the various asbestos types. This is the recommended method of analysis by EPA for asbestos identification in bulk samples.

The results of the bulk sample analyses are reported in percent asbestos by weight utilizing visual estimation. In accordance with EPA, OSHA, and State of Florida asbestos regulations, materials containing greater than one percent regulated asbestiform minerals are reported as asbestos-containing materials.

The EPA NESHAP requires that point count analysis be performed for friable samples found to contain less than 10 percent asbestos. As discussed in the EPA Guidance Memorandum, W912EP-16-R-0021 SECTION 02 41 00 APPENDIX A Page 33

C-3 5 December 2013

“Clarification of Asbestos NESHAP Requirements to perform Point Counting” dated May 8, 1991, point count analysis is required to confirm the asbestos content of friable materials found to contain one percent or less asbestos and, therefore, not subject to regulation under the NESHAP.

Point count analysis was not included in the scope of this survey. For the purposes of this survey, material found to contain greater than one percent to ten percent were assumed to contain asbestos in amounts greater than one percent.

The EPA guidance document, “Advisory regarding Availability of and Improved Asbestos Bulk sample Analysis Test Method; Supplementary information on Bulk sample Collection and

Analysis” (Federal Register 38970-38971, August 1, 1994) which recommends the use of the revised PLM method (which was employed on this project) and the use of Transmission Electron

Microscopy (TEM) to confirm the quantity of asbestos detected in floor tile samples. TEM analysis of floor tile samples was not included in the scope of services for this project.
