Subject: On-Call Asbestos, Lead, Air Quality & Demolition ComplianceAgreement No.: 8.07-01 (18)HazMat Inspection - Bridge No. 05844, I-84 over Route 15, East Hartford, CT ConnDOT Assignment No. 519-6317ConnDOT Project No. 42-325TRC Project No. 289951.6317.0710

Dear Mr. Fox:

TRC performed a limited survey for hazardous building materials associated with the rehabilitation of Bridge No. 05844, I-84 Route 15, in East Hartford, Connecticut. Results of the survey identified no detectable levels of lead in the coating of the structural steel & metal bridge components at Bridge No. 05844. Since no detectable levels of lead were in the coating, any paint waste would be non-hazardous, non-RCRA waste. Suspect asbestos containing materials in the form of black vinyl bearing pads, white caulking on parapet joints and silicone caulking were sampled and found to contain no detectable levels of asbestos. No bird/pigeon guano accumulations or bloodborne pathogen (BBP) concerns were observed in accessible areas of Bridge No. 05844, however it is anticipated that some guano may be found during the course of the project. Potential Universal Waste & Connecticut Regulated Waste in the form of a light pole by Bridge No. 05844 was identified, however it is not expected to be impacted. Associated laboratory data, TRC Mobile Data report, project description and site map are attached.

If you have any questions, please call TRC at (860) 298-9692.

Very Truly Yours,

TRC

Report Comments:

Sample Result Flags:

E- The result is estimated, above the calibration range.

H- The surrogate recovery is above the control limits.

L- The surrogate recovery is below the control limits.

B- The compound was detected in the laboratory blank.

P- The Relative Percent Difference (RPD) of dual column analyses exceeds 40%.

D- The RPD between the sample and the sample duplicate is high. Sample Homogeneity may be a problem.

+- The Surrogate was diluted out.

*C1- The Continuing Calibration did not meet method specifications and was biased low for this analyte. Increased uncertainty is

associated with the reported value which is likely to be biased low.

*C2- The Continuing Calibration did not meet method specifications and was biased high for this analyte. Increased uncertainty

is associated with the reported value which is likely to be biased high.

*F1- The Laboratory Control Sample recovery is outside of control limits. Reported value for this analyte is likely to be biased

on the low side.

*F2- The Laboratory Control Sample recovery is outside of control limits. Reported value for this analyte is likely to be biased

on the high side.

*I- Analyte exceeds method limits from second source standard in Initial Calibration Verification (ICV). No directional bias.

All results met standard operating procedures unless indicated by a data qualifier next to a sample result, or a narration in the QC

report.

For Percent Solids, if any of the following prep methods (3050B, 3540C, 3545A, 3550C, 5035 and 9013A) were used for

samples pertaining to this report, the percent solids procedure is within that prep method.

Complete Environmental Testing is only responsible for the certified testing and is not directly responsible for the integrity of the

sample before laboratory receipt.

ND is None Detected at or above the specified reporting limit

Reporting Limit (RL) is the limit of detection for an analyte after any adjustment made for dilution or percent moisture.

All analyses were performed in house unless a Reference Laboratory is listed.

Samples will be disposed of 30 days after the report date.

All questions related to this report should be directed to David Ditta, Timothy Fusco, or Robert Blake at 203-377-9984.

The Laboratory at TRC follows the EPA's Interim Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation 1982 (EPA 600/M4-82-020) Bulk Analysis Code 18/A01 and the EPA recommended Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials July 1993, R.L. Perkins and B.W. Harvey, (EPA/600/R-93/116) Bulk Analysis Code 18/A03, which utilize polarized light microscopy (PLM). Our analysts have completed an accredited course in asbestos identification. TRC's Laboratory is accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), for Bulk Asbestos Fiber Analysis, NVLAP Code 18/A01, effective through June 30, 2021. TRC is accredited by the AIHA Laboratory Accreditation Programs (AIHA-LAP), LLC in the Industrial Hygiene Program (IHLAP) for PLM effective through October 1, 2020. Asbestos content is determined by visual estimate unless otherwise indicated. Quality Control is performed in-house on at least 10% of samples and QC data related to the samples is available upon written request from client.

This report shall not be reproduced, except in full, without the written approval of TRC. This report must not be used by the client to claim product endorsement by NVLAP or any agency of the U.S. Government. This report relates only to the items tested.

ND - asbestos was not detected

Note: Polarized-light microscopy is not consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in floor coverings and similar non-friable organically bound materials. In those cases, EPA recommends, and certain states (e.g. NY) require, that negative results be confirmed by quantitative transmission electron microscopy.
