SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

An Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM) Inspection was conducted on July 13, 2016 at the Former Traffic Control Tower Building #63 of the Muñíz Air National Guard Base located in Luis Muñoz Marin International Airport, Carolina, PR. The ACBM inspection was performed to identify material that contains asbestos fibers above allowable levels that could result in harm to construction personnel, workers and assist with the compliance of local, state and federal regulations. This evaluation report can help Owners develop a plan for eliminating any asbestos hazards that were found, and may aid in establishing an ongoing asbestos containing materials maintenance and re-evaluation program, if needed.

1.2 SUMMARY OF PROPERTY EVALUATION

The project consisted of the evaluation of the aforementioned structure. The evaluation found that asbestos fibers were present at the lower layer floor vinyl tiles’ associated mastic installed in selective areas of the subject structure on the date of the evaluation. For specific locations and additional details on the location of ACBM reference Sections 2 and 3.

If suspected components and surfaces that were not previously evaluated are identified in the building they shall be considered as containing asbestos until the appropriate analysis is performed.

1.3 PROPERTY LOCATIONS OF BUILDING COMPONENTS WITH ASBESTOS

Table 1-1 below summarizes the building components containing asbestos fibers. Details that identify positive asbestos findings within specific areas and on surfaces were provided in the Asbestos Sampling inspection report, Section 2.

The quantification of positives materials presented in this table is only an estimate. If an abatement of the materials will be conducted the Contractors shall calculate their own quantification of the materials to be abated.

INSPECTION REPORT

2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE EVALUATION

This ACBM inspection is an evaluation to identify the location of material containing asbestos that exist within. Our scope of work services for this project consisted of the following tasks.

A walk-through and observation of the site was performed.

Bulk sampling of Suspected ACBM within the structure.

Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) Analysis of bulk samples.

Final Inspection Report.

Throughout the inspection of the following suspected ACBM was observed and sampled:

Drywall Panel Roofing Material Vinyl Tiles & Associated Adhesive (various layers) Vinyl Cove Base Adhesive Wall Covering Carpet

The sampling was conducted by Puerto Rico EQB and United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) accredited Inspectors qualified by experience, education and training in the recognition of potential ACBM and approved bulk sampling techniques. Some areas may not have been directly accessible due to the physical hazards encountered within.

In these areas assumptions based on findings in other areas were made whenever possible.

These assumptions are duly noted as such in this report.

The inspection was performed in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency recommended procedures found in EPA-450/2-78-014 (Parts I and II), EPA 560/5-85-024, and 40 CFR 763. These procedures call for the visual inspection of the building for suspect friable material and collection and analysis of representative samples of suspect material.

2.2 SAMPLING PROCEDURE AND RESULTS PRESENTATION

The bulk sampling procedures utilized for the collection of the ACBM, required the establishment of homogeneous sampling areas. A homogeneous sampling area is defined as an area of friable or non-friable material of similar type that appears to be applied or constructed during the same time period.

Samples collected from these predetermined homogeneous sampling areas were labeled and transported for analysis. Sample locations were identified by their current use or functional space name. Each type of asbestos displays a unique property when subject to PLM.

Properties are unique to crystalline asbestos form and; therefore, can be used to identify the type of asbestos mineral as chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, anthophylite, tremolite and

Bld. #63 Muñíz Air National Guard Base Carolina, Puerto Rico actinolite.

Percentage of each asbestos mineral type is determined by visual estimation, by mixing the sample thoroughly to provide a more accurate percentage. Any material containing over one percentage (>1%) by weight of any type of asbestos mineral forms is considered by the USEPA to be asbestos containing material; and if disturbed, it must be handled according to specific State and Federal Regulations.

Seventeen (17) samples of suspected material were collected. It is our opinion that an acceptable minimum number of critical areas were sampled in keeping with the homogeneous nature of much of the material that was observed. Non-destructive sampling techniques were used. If they exist, walls, ceilings, columns and other inaccessible areas were not broken into. It should be noted that these inaccessible areas may contain ACBM which was not observed during the inspection. Any future construction or renovation should anticipate the presence of these materials.

The samples were received and analyzed by Analytical Environmental Services, Inc. in Atlanta GA (Certified Proficient by the National Institute of Science and Technology NVLAP program for bulk sample asbestos analysis; Laboratory Id 102082-0). The method of analysis was polarized light microscopy with dispersion staining, as recommended by the US EPA. This survey focused on the building materials, which are present throughout the interior and exterior of the building structure.

2.3 FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

2.3.1 INTRODUCTION

This section describes the asbestos containing building materials (ACBM), which were observed in the inspection. Please note that the recommendations given are always the minimum action, which in our professional judgment should be taken.

There was one type of Asbestos Containing Building Materials found within the evaluated facilities:

Vinyl Tiles’ Associated Mastic Adhesive

If this material is to be removed it should be managed and disposed by a licensed asbestos contractor and disposed of as contaminated waste in an approved asbestos landfill site.

2.3.2 SPECIFIC FINDINGS

The following ACBM was found to contain more than one percent (1%) of asbestos by weight:

1. Roofing Material sample: 16170-03 & 16170-06

This material is in a non-friable condition and the analytical result was 3% chrysotile asbestos. This material is located in the 7th floor area of the assessed structure.

2.4 CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS—DISCLAIMER

Zimmetry Environmental Management Corp. has performed this asbestos containing building materials inspection in a thorough and professional manner consistent with commonly accepted industry standards. The Preparer cannot guarantee and does not warrant that this evaluation has identified all adverse environmental factors and/or conditions affecting this property on the date of the evaluation.

The results reported and conclusions reached by the Preparer are solely for the benefit of the Owner and occupants. The results and opinions in this report, based solely on the conditions found at the property on the date of the evaluation, are valid only on that date. The Preparer assumes no obligation to advise the client of any changes in any real or potential asbestos hazards at this structure beyond the date of the property evaluation.

2.5 ABATEMENT CONDITIONS

The US Environmental Protection Agency rules concerning the application, removal, and disposal of Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM) were issued under the asbestos NESHAP (U.S. EPA National Emission Standards of Hazardous Air Pollutants, 40 CFR 61 Subpart M, October 30, 1987). The asbestos N.E.S.H.A.P. regulation governs asbestos demolition and renovation projects in all facilities. The NESHAP rule usually requires owners or operators to have all friable ACBM removed before a building is demolished, and may require its removal before a renovation. For a renovation project where friable ACBM will be disturbed, the NESHAP rule may require appropriate work practice or procedure for the control of emissions. It states that any ACBM that may become friable possess a potential hazard that should be addressed. The Environmental Quality Board (E.Q.B.) of Puerto Rico requires inspecting the presence of Asbestos Containing Materials prior to buildings demolitions, in accordance with Rule 422 of the Atmospheric Controls Regulation of Puerto Rico. Also Rule 644 of the Non Hazardous Wastes Regulations of Puerto Rico, administered by the Puerto Rico Solid Waste Authority, requires submitting evidence for the asbestos disposal.
