Review previous inspection/sampling results and assessment
reports related to the existing impacted facilities and plot
those results on plans.
5) Walk through and visually inspect all accessible impacted
areas, especially spaces above ceilings, chases, tunnels,
mechanical rooms, sub-basements, etc.
Review the A/E Quality
Alert, Asbestos Abatement, dated 10/95 for a check list of
items where asbestos abatement reports often fail to identify
asbestos in the area. Spot check accuracy of b.1), b.2), b.3),
and b.4) and determine where suspect/known ACM and ACE exist.
In demolitions, invasive inspection may be needed.
6) As required, develop a sampling plan correlating b.1), b.2),
b.3), b.4) and b.5).
Each impacted area with suspected ACM and
ACE shall be covered in the sampling plan by appropriate bulk
samples, direct visual observations or if inaccessible, by
deduction. Mark on drawings the location of the proposed
samples, the location of the existing samples, the areas that
have been decontaminated by previous abatement projects, the
impacted areas proposed to be covered by direct visual
observations and survey, and the inaccessible impacted areas
proposed to be assessed by deduction or by invasive inspection.
Assign to each new sample a unique identification number as per
AHERA requirements.
Provide a rationale for the proposed
sampling plan showing how the results of the proposed new
samples combined with the other information; old samples,
survey information, etc.) will yield statistically viable
information on the location, quantity, type of, and condition
of all ACM and the location and quantity of all ACE in the
impacted areas.
7) Present the sampling plan to VA for review/approval at the
second schematic design submission.
Develop Preliminary Asbestos Assessment:
2. TASK 2.
a. Submit a preliminary description of asbestos assessment and abatement
problems and solutions. This preliminary report shall include the
following:
1) Summary results of review of building asbestos inspection
records/documentation.
2) Summary results of interviews with VA personnel.
3) Determination of whether any materials used in the building
construction are known to contain asbestos. Some trade name
materials may have been specified and are known to contain
asbestos and should be identified.
