Attachment 4 Sample Process Description
CSMS Spray Painting Operation. The Paint Shop contained a large downdraft booth and was located adjacent to the vehicle maintenance bays in the “E” Wing of the CSMS. The dimensions of the booth were approximately
17.5 feet wide (17.5’ W), 40 feet long (40’ L), and 12.5 foot height (12.5’ H).
Vehicle sized swing hinge doors were installed at each end of the booth and four human entry/exit doors were approximately 3’W X 7’H. Two full time painters were assigned and reported that at the current workload they were required to paint for a duration of approximately four hours 2 to 3 days per week.
(1) Exhaust Ventilation. The average cross sectional air velocity in large paint booths is recommended by OSHA 29 CFR 1910.94 Table G-10 to be between 75 and 125 feet per minute (fpm) (reference X). The paint booth at the CSMS had an average cross sectional velocity of 64 fpm which did not meet the standard and one side of the booth performed much better than the other.
Smoke testing demonstrated that the ventilation system what somewhat effective from removing air from the booth. The system should be serviced and balanced.
Regular servicing and lubrication of belts, moving parts, and filtering systems will extend the life of the equipment and ensure effective performance (reference X).
(2) Booth Pressure. The booth relative to the adjacent work space was under the desired slight negative pressure. The ACGIH Ventilation Manual, Paragraph 13.75, explains that maintaining the paint booth under slight negative pressure will reduce the potential of toxic paint vapors escaping the booth into adjacent work areas (reference X).
(3) Pressure Gauge (Manometer). Manometers were installed on the booth supply and exhaust filter banks to show the pressure drop as required by the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.94(c)(7)(iii)[b] (reference X). The manometers needed fluid, to be zeroed, and to be marked correctly.
(4) Hazards and Assessments.
(a) Air Sampling. The chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) applied during this survey contained isocyanates, acetone, and iron oxide pigmentation.
Air sampling was performed on two personnel. Air sampling location, duration, and results are provided in Appendix X, Tables X-1 and X-2. All sampling results calculated as an 8 hour time weighted average concentration (TWA8) met published standards (references X-X).
(b) Sound Pressure Levels. A sound level meter was used to measure the pressure levels in the booth during spray painting and all levels were found below the Army criterion threshold level of 85 dBA (reference X) and are presented in Appendix X.
(5) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Personnel donned disposable coveralls (Tyvek), gloves, and supplied airline respirators.
(7) Emergency Equipment. An emergency eyewash and shower unit was provided next to the paint mixing area. The unit was documented as inspected weekly and provided tepid flushing fluid as recommended by ANSI/ISEA Z358.1- 2009, Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment (reference X).

Attachment 9 ARNG Lead Sampling Guide
ARMY NATIONAL GUARD
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE SAMPLING GUIDE FOR
SURFACE LEAD IN READINESS CENTERS
26 OCTOBER 2015
1. REFERENCES. See Appendix A.
2. PURPOSE. The purpose of this guide is to provide clear instruction for conducting annual lead surface wipe sampling at Army National Guard (ARNG) Readiness Centers (RCs) that contain active, nonfunctional, closed, or disposed indoor firing ranges (IFRs).
The annual surface sampling to assess possible lead surface levels in the RC does not take the place of the mandated comprehensive industrial hygiene survey; active IFR industrial hygiene evaluation; or assessment of inactive IFRs identified for rehabilitation and conversion.
3. AUTHORITY.
a. Workplace Hazard Assessment. The Department of the Army Pamphlet (DA-
PAM) 40-503, paragraph 1-8b(3), mandates that facilities provide healthful work environments in accordance with the most stringent assessment standards (reference 1). The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) through the Code of Federal Regulations (29 CFR 1910), have enforceable regulatory standards for workplace safety (reference 2).
b. Sampling Methodology. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
International is an international standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical standards for a wide range of materials, products (such as lead wipes), systems, and services, including surface wipe testing for lead (reference 3).
c. Evaluation Criteria. The recently signed Memorandum for the Chiefs of Staff
(COS) regarding possible lead in RCs (reference 4) sets forth the requirement to conduct surface wipe sampling annually and to set limitations on public and family member access to the RCs based on unacceptable sampling results. The memorandum requires surface levels less than forty micrograms per square foot (<40 μg/ft2) in areas that will accessed by the public or family members. Army National Guard Regulation (NGR) 385-15 paragraph 5-4 requires a housekeeping program sufficient to maintain all active IFR surfaces as free as practicable of accumulations of lead dust (reference 5). The Army National Guard Pamphlet (NG Pam) 420-15 paragraph 3-6(o) states that the lead surface goal in rehabilitated IFRs is <200 μg/ft2 prior to encapsulation (reference 6). The NG Pam 420-15 paragraph 3-6(p) also requires that annual testing continue after successful IFR surface cleaning, encapsulation, and enclosure (tile or linoleum) to verify that no lead migration from the substrate is occurring (reference 6).
SUBJECT: ARNG Industrial Hygiene Sampling Guide for Surface Lead in Readiness Centers, 26 October 2015
4. SAMPLING PLANNING AND INSTRUCTIONS.
a. Sampling Plan.
1) Identification of Personnel Qualified to Conduct Sampling. As responsible office for the execution of the surface wipe sampling program (reference 4), each ARNG Regional IH Office will make the final determination as to the qualification of personnel to conduct lead surface wipe sampling. All personnel performing the wipe sampling surveys must read this guidance and either demonstrate the skills necessary to perform the work or provide proof of certification in lead sampling prior to conducting the surveys.
2) Site Identification. Complete the Facility Information Spreadsheet provided with this document, ensuring the list of all RCs containing IFRs (regardless of status) in the state, district, or territory is complete. Identify the status of IFRs (active, nonfunctional, closed, or disposed) using the criteria outlined in the ARNG COS Memorandum (reference 4) in advance if possible.
3) Coordination and Travel Planning. Coordinate with the state, district, or territory representative in the Safety and/or Occupational Health Office to arrange dates and times to conduct sampling. Plan travel routes that allow multiple facilities to be visited in a day when feasible.
4) Team Member Designation. For quality control purposes and ease of performance, it is recommended that all sampling surveys be conducted by teams of at least two personnel. Because there is variability between each person’s technique and wiping pressure during sampling, a ‘sampler’ and ‘assistant’ should be designated in each team (reference 3). The ‘sampler’ will conduct all wiping within a state, district, or territory to maintain consistency in sampling results.
5) Sample Collection Plan. Thirty five (35) samples and three blanks will be collected from each RC with an active or nonfunctional (closed but not cleaned and converted) IFR. Twenty three (23) samples and two blanks will be collected from each RC with a closed (cleaned) or disposed IFR. Sampling will be conducted using the method outlined in the ASTM E 1728 (reference 3). Sample location and methods are discussed in paragraph 5c. Actual sample locations will be recorded on a floor plan of each facility.
b. Sampling Supplies. The ARNG Regional IH Offices will provide all sampling supplies to their designated sampling teams in the region and any deviation from the following listed materials must be approved.
1) Wipes. Use Environmental Express® Ghost Wipes™ with a valid expiration date or wipes meeting the criteria outlined in ASTM E1792 (reference 7).
2) Containers. Collected wipe samples will be stored and transported in individual plastic containers with secure, screw on lids. Wipes will not be placed directly into small re-sealable plastic bags because as the ASTM E1728 relates, laboratory recoverability is improved when using straight sided plastic containers (reference 3).
3) Bags. Plastic storage bags for collected wipe samples/plastic containers will be used to further protect samples.
4) Gloves. Disposable, one time use, powder free gloves are required for each sample (reference 3).
5) Templates. To achieve the desired laboratory detection limit of 40 μg/ft2, 30 centimeter (cm) by 30 cm pre-cut cardboard one time use templates must be used.
c. Surface Wipe Sampling Procedures.
1) Supply Request. Request supplies by e-mail no less than two weeks prior to the start of the surveys using the form in Appendix B. The provided supply packs will include administrative support items such as field data sheets, laboratory chain of custody and analysis request forms, pre-labeled shipping boxes, permanent markers, duct tape, gloves, and re-sealable bags.
2) Control, Storage, and Transportation of Sampling Supplies. Maintain wipes, templates, plastic tubes, and lids in closed, re-sealable bags until ready for use and keep clean and away from contamination. Maintain visual control of supplies at all times at facilities. Do not leave collected samples and supplies in vehicles overnight and avoid temperature extremes of heat or cold.
3) Damaged Supplies. Use only supplied wipes in undamaged packaging. If a wipe is found to be dried out or damaged, it must be discarded. If other supplies are found damaged or contaminated, do not use.
4) Surface Selection. Select floor surfaces that are “solid, hard, and non-porous” as much as possible. Choose locations near the edges of rooms where dust is most likely settled. Seek out locations under desks or cabinets where cleaning occurs less frequently. Table 1 (for RCs with active or nonfunctional IFRs) and Table 2 (for RCs with closed or disposed IFRs) list surface location, type, and collection quantity. If the locations listed in the table are not present at the RC, move on to the next location designation.

5) Sampling Supplies. Use a new pair of gloves and a new, clean template for the collection of each sample (reference 3). No sampling supplies will be reused.
6) Template Placement. With clean hands and only touching the outer edges, the ‘assistant’ will place a clean template on the floor surface without disturbing existing dust. They will ensure the template has the ability to lay flat and secure the template to the floor surface by its outer edges with tape. Template location will be recorded on the facility floor plan. Without touching the wipe, the ‘assistant’ will tear open the top edge of the wipe packet and hold it ready for the ‘sampler’.
7) Sample Collection. The ‘sampler’ will don a pair of clean, powder free gloves;
remove the wipe from the open package, unfold it, and begin wiping in accordance with the method outlined in ASTM E 1728 and depicted in the following (reference 3).
a) “Using an open flat hand with the fingertips together, place the wipe on the surface to be sampled. Wipe the selected surface area, side to side, in an overlapping “S” pattern while applying moderate pressure to the fingertips. Wipe the surface so that the entire selected surface area is covered. Perform the wiping process using the fingers not the entire hand” (reference 3).
b) “Fold the wipe in half with the collected dust side folded inward, and repeat the preceding wiping procedure within the selected sampling area using an overlapping up and down “S” pattern” (reference 3).
c) “Fold the wipe in half again with the collected dust side folded inward, and repeat the wiping procedure one more time, around the perimeter, concentrating on collecting settled dust from all corners and edges within the selected surface area” (reference 3).
d) While the ‘sampler’ is collecting the wipe sample, the ‘assistant’ will ready the collection tube and cap.
8) Documentation and Labeling. Use a permanent marker to mark the side of the collection tube with the sampling identification (ID). The following sampling ID naming convention will be followed:
State two letter abbreviation (space) First Four Letters of Town/City of Readiness
Center Location (space) Sample Number (space)
Example: PA HARR 1, PA HARR 2, PA HARR 3, and so on.
9) Blanks. Prepare the number of blanks described in tables 1 and 2. While wearing a pair of clean gloves open a packet, remove the wipe, expose briefly to air and place into a plastic tube and label with sample ID criteria listed above.
10) Field Data Sheets. Fill out the provided field data sheets completely including signature and date. Use the example provided in Appendix C.
11) Sample Shipping. Fill out laboratory request for analysis of the selected laboratory and include a copy of the field data sheet with the analysis request and samples. Appendix D lists important details to include on the laboratory chain of custody. Keep a copy of the lab request and field data sheet. E-mail a copy of the lab request and field data sheet to the Regional ARNG IH Office.
d. Results Discussion. The Regional IH Office will receive sample results and will provide data in a ‘preliminary findings’ e-mail that will be followed by a formal published report summarizing results for the state, district, or territory.
