4 Asbestos and Hazardous Materials Assessment 77 Maple Street, Springfield, MA ASBESTOS ASSESSMENT AND LEAD PAINT SCREENING 77 MAPLE STREET SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS 1.0 INTRODUCTION O Reilly Talbot & Okun Associates, Inc. (OTO) has conducted an asbestos and hazardous materials assessment of the former residential/office located at 77 Maple Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. This assessment was performed in general accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations to prepare the building for interior renovations. Assessment activities were conducted to generally identify locations where asbestos containing materials (ACMs) and Presumed Asbestos Containing Materials (PACMs) may be present within the building. The information provided in this report is subject to the attached Limitations. 2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION According to Springfield Assessor s records, the building (currently owned by Develop Springfield Corporation) is a two story wood framed building with an attic. Assessor s records do not indicate a construction date, but previous assessment activities conducted by OTO at the Site indicate an approximate construction date of The building has an approximate 3,000 square feet footprint, and has a full basement foundation. The building has a pitched gable roof covered with asphaltic shingles. Window are a mix of aluminum/vinyl replacement units and original wooden units containing fibrous glazing compounds. The building is connected to the municipal water and sewer services, and to underground electrical service. Interior portions of the building have been almost completely gutted to the exterior walls of the structure, but some interior finishes (areas of wall plaster, gypsum wallboard systems, and resilient flooring) were observed. The building s heating system has been stripped and removed from the structure, but it appears that the building was formerly heated with a natural gas boiler formerly located in the basement. Heating system distribution lines have also been cut/removed from the building. Remnants of thermal system insulation (TSI) was observed in the basement of the structure located in a subgrade conduit which presumably runs to an associated garage located approximately 100 feet to the north of the building. The associated garage structure was not included as part of this assessment. 3.0 SUMMARY OF ASBESTOS ASSESSMENT Representative bulk samples were collected of accessible homogeneous materials. Samples were packaged according to appropriate chain of custody procedures, and forwarded to EMSL Analytical Services, Inc. of Cinnaminson, New Jersey for analysis 1

5 Asbestos and Hazardous Materials Assessment 77 Maple Street, Springfield, MA of asbestos fibers by the polarized light microscopy (PLM) method, EPA 600/R- 93/116. EMSL is an American Industrial Hygiene Association/National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (AIHA/NVLAP) accredited asbestos laboratory, and is licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards (DLS). Samples were collected by Mr. Andrew P. Rolinger (MA DLS Asbestos Inspectors AI ) Materials identified by laboratory analysis as containing asbestos fibers are classified as asbestos containing materials (ACM). Homogenous building components were visually classified based on color, texture, application and the age of the building component. The building is currently unoccupied and the majority of interior finishes have been removed. As such, limited destructive sampling techniques were used during our survey, where necessary. ACMs may be located in areas not accessible during our survey, such as beneath floors, in hidden wall cavities, in inaccessible areas, and in other enclosed spaces. ACMs in these areas may only become evident during renovation or demolition. In accordance with state and federal regulations, materials that are tested to contain 1% and greater of asbestos will be classified as ACM. Additionally, the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection defines materials containing any amount of asbestos (less than 1%) be handled as an asbestos containing waste. 4.0 ASBESTOS TESTING RESULTS Laboratory analytical results are attached and summarized in Table 1. As indicated, laboratory analysis has identified asbestos fibers in the following materials: Chimney Flue Packing Materials, located in Basement Thermal System Insulation located in conduit in northern corner of Basement Materials containing less than 1 percent asbestos include: materials located on first floor Fireplace/Chimney (central fireplace, not associated with an exterior wall) Presumed asbestos containing materials (PACM) include: Roofing materials (felts/flashings/adhesives) which may be present beneath existing materials (roofing materials were not tested as part of this assessment) Asbestos was not detected in gypsum wallboard or associated joint compound wall/ceiling materials, in linoleum flooring or 9x9 floor tiles, in adhesive skim materials located on interior walls, in window glazing materials, in residual mastic/paper present on hardwood floors, or in gauze materials located beneath/between hardwood floors. 2

6 Asbestos and Hazardous Materials Assessment 77 Maple Street, Springfield, MA Note that other asbestos containing materials may be present in the building hidden in walls or chases, or underneath flooring or ceiling finishes not disturbed as part of our assessment. 5.0 LEAD PAINT SCREENING The lead paint screening was conducted by randomly analyzing interior painted surfaces of the structure with a portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. In general, although all paint may contain some quantity of lead, concentrations of lead in paint that exceed 1.0 mg/cm 2 are classified as classified by the EPA as lead based paint. Our screening provides a general determination if lead is present on painted surfaces which is useful for contractor bidding and work practice purposes, and necessary for compliance with the OSHA Lead in Construction Standard (29 CFR ). The lead paint assessment was not conducted by a licensed Massachusetts Lead Inspector, nor was the lead paint screening performed in accordance with the Massachusetts Lead Regulations with the intent of obtaining a Massachusetts Lead Regulation Certification of Compliance. Painted surfaces in finished areas were screened with the XRF. In general, painted surfaces exhibited lead concentrations ranging from 9.2 to 49.8 milligrams of lead per square centimeter (mg/cm 2 ). We recommend that regardless of lead paint concentration, contractors disturbing painted surfaces should comply and utilize the work practices and engineering controls identified in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) lead in construction standard (29 CFR ). 6.0 CONCLUSIONS Based on sampling and analytical results, we have identified Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and Presumed ACM (PACM). These materials must be removed according to federal and state abatement/removal regulations by a licensed Massachusetts Asbestos Abatement Contractor prior to renovation or demolition activities if they are likely to be disturbed as part of these activities. Asbestos Containing Materials that will not be disturbed does not require removal according to current asbestos regulations. 3
