ASBESTOS AND LEAD-BASED PAINT SURVEY REPORT


201 SAXON STREET



1.0 INTRODUCTION


performed on the Laurens CPW Maintenance Building located at 201 Saxon Street in Laurens,

South Carolina. Our survey was conducted on June 3, 2020, in support of planned renovations

and in general accordance with the terms of our Proposal No: P86207131 dated May 26, 2020.

2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION

The maintenance building is constructed of brick and concrete on a concrete foundation and

covers approximately 1,200 square feet. The interior of the building is primarily without finishes

on the floors, ceilings, and walls except for a small area of plaster. Heating was previously

provided by a coal or wood stove and no cooling systems were present. Piping in the building

appeared to be un-insulated. Window glazing compound was noted on windows throughout the

building. Roofing consisted of a built-up roofing system on a concrete deck with suspect residual

sealants on the parapet walls.

3.0 ASBESTOS SURVEY

The asbestos survey was conducted by Mr. Stephen Ellis, an SC DHEC licensed Asbestos Building

Inspector (License No. BI-01211). A copy of Mr. Ellis’ license is provided in Appendix D. The survey

was conducted June 3, 2020, in general accordance with the sample collection protocols outlined

in South Carolina Regulation 61-86.1 Standards of Performance for Asbestos Projects.

3.1 Regulatory Overview

An ACM is defined as any material containing asbestos of any type in an amount greater than one

percent (1%). The asbestos NESHAP (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M) regulates asbestos fiber

emissions and asbestos waste disposal practices. It also requires the identification and

classification of existing building materials prior to demolition or renovation activity. Under

NESHAP, asbestos-containing building materials are classified as either friable, Category I non-

friable or Category II non-friable ACM. Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled,

pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Category I non-friable ACM includes packing

materials, gaskets, resilient floor coverings and asphalt roofing products containing more than 1

percent (%) asbestos. Category II non-friable ACM are non-friable materials other than Category I

materials that contain more than 1% asbestos.



Friable ACM, Category I and Category II non-friable ACM which is in poor condition and has become

friable or which will be subjected to drilling, sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading and which could

be crushed or pulverized during anticipated renovation/demolition activities are considered

regulated ACM (RACM). RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities.

In the State of South Carolina, asbestos activities are regulated by the SC DHEC under SC DHEC

Regulation 61-86.1 Standards of Performance for Asbestos Projects. SC DHEC requires that

asbestos-related activities conducted in a public building be performed by personnel licensed by

SC DHEC. The owner or operator must provide the SC DHEC with written notification of planned

abatement and removal activities prior to the commencement of those activities. The SC DHEC

requires a four (4) day notification for non-friable projects and 10-day notification for RACM projects.

Asbestos abatement must be performed by SC DHEC-licensed asbestos abatement contractors.

A SC DHEC-licensed Project Designer shall prepare a written abatement design for each

abatement renovation project involving the removal of greater than 3,000 square, 1,500 linear, or

656 cubic feet of RACM. Third-party air monitoring must be conducted during the abatement of

friable (regulated) ACM. The SC DHEC asbestos regulations can be found at http://www.SC

DHEC.gov.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Asbestos Standard for Construction

Industry (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA standard

requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1 asbestos

fibers per cubic centimeter of air (0.1 f/cc) for an eight-hour time weighted average. The OSHA

standard classifies construction and maintenance activities, which could disturb ACM, and specifies

work practices and precautions which employers must follow when engaging in each class of

regulated work. A full copy of the OSHA asbestos standard for general industry may be found at

OSHA’s website (www.osha.gov) and should be referenced for specific information.

3.2 Visual Assessment

Our survey activities began with visual observation of the interior and exterior of the building to

identify apparent homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. A homogeneous area consists of building

materials, which appear similar throughout in terms of color, texture and date of application.

Building materials which were not identified as concrete, glass, wood, masonry, metal or rubber

were considered suspect ACM.

3.3 Physical Assessment

A physical assessment of each homogeneous area of suspect ACM was conducted to assess the

friability and condition of the materials. A friable material is defined by the EPA as a material, which

can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry. Friability was

assessed by physically touching suspect materials.

http://www.scdhec.gov/

http://www.osha.gov/



3.4 Sample Collection

Based on the results of the visual sampling, bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in general

accordance with SC DHEC Regulation 61-86.1 Standards of Performance for Asbestos Projects.

Random samples of suspect materials were collected in each homogeneous area. Bulk samples

were collected using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for fiber release. Samples

were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample numbers using an indelible

marker. A summary of the suspect ACM samples collected during the survey is presented in Table

1 in Appendix B.

3.5 Sample Analysis

Bulk samples were submitted using chain-of-custody procedures to Scientific Analytical Institute,

Inc. (SAI) of Greensboro, North Carolina. SAI is accredited under the National Voluntary

Laboratory Accreditation Program NVLAP (#200664-0). The samples were submitted for a

“positive stop” analysis which means once a sample is detected with asbestos the remainder of

the samples in the same homogenous set are not analyzed and are presumed to be of similar

asbestos content. Asbestos analysis was performed by PLM with dispersion staining techniques

per EPA EPA/600/R-93/116. The percentage of asbestos, where applicable, was determined by

microscopical visual estimation. Per the SC DHEC Regulation 61-86.1 Standards of Performance

for Asbestos Projects, negative results for non-friable organically bound (NOB) materials such as

flooring, mastics, or roofing shall be verified with at least one analysis by transmission electron

microscopy (TEM). The additional analysis was performed by TEM in accordance with EPA

Chatfield SOP 1988-02 Rev. 1.

3.6 Findings and Recommendations

A total of eighteen (18) bulk samples were collected from the structure. A general layout with

sample locations is included as Figure 1 in Appendix A. Sample descriptions, locations, analytical

results, classification and estimated quantities are summarized in Table 1 in Appendix B. Copies

of the asbestos laboratory analytical reports are included in Appendix C and photographs are

provided in Appendix E.

Asbestos was detected (greater than 1%) in the following materials:

▪ Pink and white window glazing compound (1.1% anthophyllite) on the windows throughout;

and,


The window glazing compound is currently damaged. This material should be repaired or removed

by an SC DHEC-licensed asbestos abatement contractor. If the above ACMs have the potential of

being disturbed during renovations, they should be removed by an SC DHEC-licensed asbestos



abatement contractor in accordance with SC DHEC Asbestos Regulation 61-86.1 prior to

renovation.

It should be noted that suspect materials, other than those identified during the June 3, 2020, survey

may exist within the work area. Should suspect materials other than those which were identified

during this survey be uncovered prior to or during the upcoming renovation activities, those

materials should be assumed to be asbestos-containing until sampling and analysis demonstrates

otherwise. Federal, state, and local regulations should be consulted before initiating any action on

an ACM.

4.0 LEAD-BASED PAINT SURVEY

4.1 Regulatory Overview

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines lead-based paint (LBP) as paint, varnish,

stain, or other applied coating that contain lead equal to or greater than 1.0 milligrams per square

centimeter (mg/cm2), 5,000 mg/kg, or 0.5% by dry weight as determined by laboratory analysis.

As applicable to this project, lead is regulated by South Carolina Department of Health and

Environmental Control (SC DHEC) for disposal. The SC DHEC regulations require that painted

demolition debris with a lead concentration greater than 0.7 mg/cm2, or 0.06% by dry weight be

disposed in a permitted Class II landfill. However, coatings that are de-laminated, deteriorated,

or flaking must be evaluated against the Toxicity Characteristic under state and federal hazardous

waste management regulations. Lead-based paint is defined in SC Regulation 61-107.9, “Solid

Waste Landfills and Structural Fill.” The hazardous waste Toxicity Characteristic is defined in the

SC Hazardous Waste Management Regulation 61-79, at § 261.24, “Toxicity Characteristic.”

4.2 Sampling and Analytical Protocol

4.3 Sample Collection

The lead-based paint survey was conducted by Mr. Stephen Ellis, an EPA accredited lead inspector.

Bulk samples of suspect lead paint were collected from the building. Samples were placed in

sealable containers and labeled with unique sample numbers using an indelible marker. A summary

of the suspect lead paint collected during the survey is presented in Table 2 in Appendix B.

4.3.1 Lead Analysis via Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy

Bulk samples were submitted using chain-of-custody procedures to Scientific Analytical Institute,

Inc. (SAI) of Greensboro, North Carolina. SAI’s Environmental Lead Laboratory is fully accredited

by the American Industrial Hygiene Association Laboratory Accreditation Program, LLC (AIHA-

LAP, LLC) and is recognized by the Environmental Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program

(ELLAP) (#173190). ELLAP is an approved lead laboratory accreditation program under the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Lead Laboratory Accreditation Program



(NLLAP). Lead paint analysis was performed by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy per EPA

SW-846 3050B/6010C/7000B.

4.4 Findings and Recommendations

A total of six (6) samples were collected of paint chips from the subject structure. The results are

summarized in Table 2 in Appendix B. Two (2) of the samples submitted for analysis detected lead:

▪ White paint (0.84%) on a wooden door frame; and,

▪ Green paint (0.83%) on a wooden door.

The lead content of the above listed paints meets the EPA definition of lead-based paint (>0.5%)

and also exceeds the SC DHEC regulation criteria (>0.06%). Intact paint on building components

may be disposed in an approved landfill and metal components may be recycled without removing

paint.

The OSHA lead-in-construction standard was intended to apply to detectable concentrations of

lead in paint, as even small concentrations of lead can result in unacceptable employee

exposures depending upon the method of removal and other workplace conditions. All paints

tested contained detectable amount of lead, and therefore, OSHA’s lead-in-construction standard

is applicable. OSHA does not consider methods that rely solely on the analysis of bulk materials

or surface content of lead (or other toxic material) to be acceptable for safely predicting employee

exposure to airborne contaminants. Without air monitoring results or without the benefit of

historical or objective data (including air sampling which clearly demonstrates that the employee

cannot be exposed above the action level during any process, operation, or activity) the analysis

of bulk or surface samples cannot be used to determine employee airborne exposure. A full copy

of the OSHA lead standard for construction industry may be found at OSHA’s website

(www.osha.gov) and should be referenced for specific information.
