SECTION 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Environmental Connection, Inc., (EC) was contracted by The New Jersey Department of Transportation,

(NJDOT) to perform an environmental assessment of multiple structures at the Jersey City Maintenance

Yard lot located at 401 Lincoln Highway in Jersey City, New Jersey. The goal of the assessment was to

identify Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs), Lead-Based Paints (LBP) and Polychlorinated Biphenyl

(PCB) containing caulks/glazings present at the site. The assessment was performed on May 29, 2018, by

Mr. Dominick Dercole, Ms. Linda Kelly and Mr. Brian Brill, all of whom are United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) accredited Asbestos Building Inspectors. Mr. Dercole and

Ms. Kelly are State of New Jersey Department of Health licensed LBP Inspectors.

During the inspection, EC collected 25 samples of 12 suspect asbestos containing materials. Two (2) of

the materials sampled contained asbestos concentrations greater that 1% by weight. The asbestos

containing materials are listed below organized by building:

Building 1336

1. Caulk Associated with Window

Panel

2. Exterior Expansion Joint Caulk

The LBP inspection revealed seven (7) building components coated with LBP. Section 3.0 of this report

discusses the methodology and summarizes the results of the LBP inspection.

EC’s inspectors also collected five (5) samples of suspect PCB containing caulk and glazing. Analysis

revealed the caulking and glazing materials sampled to have “none detected” concentrations of PCBs.

Section 4.0 of this report summarizes the results of the PCB sampling.

The following sections detail the findings of our environmental assessment.

SECTION 2.0 ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIAL INSPECTION

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral categorized into two (2) groups, Serpentine and Amphibole. It

was utilized in more than 3,600 products for its fire resistance, tensile strength, inertness, and chemical

binding properties. The Serpentine group is comprised of Chrysotile asbestos, while the Amphibole group

consists of Amosite, Crocidolite, Tremolite, Anthophyllite, and other forms of asbestos.

The inspection for asbestos containing materials was performed in accordance with 40 CFR, Part 763,

AHERA/ASHARA, and encompassed accessible interior and exterior spaces. Samples of suspect

materials were collected in sufficient quantity as mandated by 40 CFR, Part 763.87(a). The samples were

submitted to EMSL Analytical, Inc., located in Cinnaminson, New Jersey. EMSL Analytical, Inc., is

accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and participates in the National

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). Samples were analyzed utilizing Polarized Light

Microscopy (PLM) via EPA Method 600/R-93/116.

Sample analysis was also performed in accordance with Emergency Regulatory Adoptions to New Jersey

Administrative Codes (N.J.A.C.) 8:60 and 12:120, Volume 38, Issue 11, dated June 5, 2006. The




Page 3 of 8


regulatory adoptions require the analysis of non-friable organically bound (NOB) suspect asbestos

containing materials via Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) analysis when PLM analysis yields

results of less than 1% asbestos by weight or “None Detected” for asbestos fibers. TEM uses electron

imaging to identify asbestos fibers at a higher magnification than possible via PLM.

Results for PLM and TEM analysis methods are reported in percentage by weight. According to the

USEPA, materials containing greater than 1% asbestos content by weight are classified as asbestos

containing materials. Materials containing <1% asbestos content by weight are classified as “Trace”

asbestos containing materials. Trace asbestos containing materials are not recognized by the USEPA but

are regulated by the United States Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA). The following tables summarize the analytical results.

SECTION 3.0 LEAD BASED PAINT INSPECTION

Lead based paint (LBP) was used extensively before 1960 because it was more durable than other paints

available at the time. Due to the potential hazards of lead in paint, especially to children, lead-based paint

was banned in 1977.

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the USEPA define lead-

based paint as a coating which contains greater than 0.5% lead by weight or greater than 1.0 milligram of

lead per square centimeter (mg/cm2). The disturbance or dislocation of lead-based paint or lead containing

paint from building materials may cause lead dust to be released into the building`s atmosphere, thereby

creating a potential health hazard to workers and/or building occupants. To mitigate health hazards,

demolition and other construction related work is governed by the United States Department of Labor,

Occupational Safety and Health Administration, (OSHA). Under OSHA’s regulation, 29 CFR, Part

1926.62, “Lead in Construction Standard”, which defines construction work as work for alteration and/or

repair, including demolition or salvage of structures, removal or encapsulation of materials containing

lead.

EC utilized a portable X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) device manufactured by RMD, Inc., of Watertown,

Massachusetts (RMD LPA-1 Analyzer Serial #1390), to detect the presence of lead within the paint films

and other finished surfaces (stains, varnishes, and shellacs). The device bombards the testing surface with

X-ray energy, generated by a radioactive source. The energy excites electrons in the testing surface

causing them to emit X-Ray energy. The X-Ray energy emitted by the electrons is analyzed by the XRF

device. Based on analysis of the X-ray energy emitted by the electrons, the device is able to determine the

presence and concentration of an element, in this case Lead, in the testing surface. Results are reported in

milligrams per square centimeter.

The USEPA Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and New Jersey Administrative

Code (N.J.A.C.) 5:17, define any film which contains greater than 1.0 milligram of lead per square

centimeter (mg/cm2) as lead-based paint. EC performed the screening to characterize the surfaces and

building components within the structures of the maintenance yard and to determine if any coatings are

lead based. EC grouped similar building components with the like paint histories for testing purposes. The

results of the Lead-Based Paint Inspection are summarized in Table 3 below.

If the XRF analyzer indicated an inconclusive reading, or if a surface was unable to be screened utilizing

the XRF analyzer, a representative paint chip sample was collected. The paint was scraped from the

surface and collected in a non-electrostatic centrifugal tube. Each sample included all paint layers present

down to the surface of the substrate. The sample was then submitted to EMSL Analytical, Inc., of

Cinnaminson, New Jersey, for analysis via USEPA Method SW-846 7000B Flame Atomic Absorption

The United States Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, (OSHA), does

not establish a threshold for lead containing material, meaning any surface coating with a detectable lead

concentration is defined as a “lead containing” material by OSHA. OSHA’s “Lead Safe Work Practices in

Construction” standard applies to any renovation activities that may impact materials classified as “lead

containing”. The lead paint chip sampling Chain of Custody and Certificate of Analysis are included in

Appendix III along with the XRF field inspection data sheets.

SECTION 4.0 POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYL INSPECTION

PCBs were widely utilized between 1929 and 1977 in the United States as coolants and lubricants in

electrical equipment (i.e., capacitors, transformers, light ballasts), plasticizers, surface coatings, inks,

adhesives, flame retardants, pesticides, paints and carbonless duplicating paper, for their insulating

properties, chemical stability and relative non-flammability. PCB products were banned in the United

States in 1977. However, many PCB containing products remain in service to this day. The United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has classified PCBs as a possible human carcinogen.

Recently, PCBs in caulk have become a prevalent regulatory issue within the United States, prompted by

studies conducted in Finland. The Finland investigation revealed a correlation between PCBs in caulk and

that of airborne PCBs and PCBs in blood of construction workers coming in contact with such materials.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) regulates disposal of caulking that

contains greater than 50 parts per million (ppm) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and

PCB regulations, 40 CFR, Part 761.




Page 6 of 8


EC inspected the maintenance yard buildings for the presence of caulk and glazing suspected of

containing Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). EC collected samples of suspect PCB containing caulks

utilizing a razor knife. A minimum of one (1) gram of material was collected and placed directly into a

sampling jar. The sample was then labeled and submitted to the laboratory for analysis. Samples were

analyzed by EMSL Analytical, Inc., of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, in accordance with USEPA SW-846

Method 8082. PCB laboratory analytical reports and associated Chains of Custody documentation are

attached within Appendix IV.

None of the samples contained PCBs in concentrations greater than the 50 parts per million threshold

established by the USEPA. The reporting limit indicates the lowest detectable concentration for the

analysis method utilized. The reporting limit is determined by the original mass of the sample and is

therefore a dependent variable of the samples mass. Aroclor was the proprietary/commercial name given

to PCB containing mixtures. The mixtures were further defined by their unique composition. The four (4)

digit number following Aroclor refers to the composition of the mixture. The first two (2) digits denote

the number of carbon atoms present in the two phenyl rings. The second two (2) digits indicate the mass

percentage of Chlorine atoms in the mixture.

SECTION 5.0 PROJECT LIMITATIONS/DISCLAIMERS

The Client should be aware that this survey did not incorporate destructive demolition to access hidden or

obscured ACM. Concealed asbestos-containing materials, such as vinyl asbestos floor tile which has been

overlaid with plywood, insulated piping lines in wall cavities, asbestos “nailcrete” below tongue and

groove flooring, ACM on pipes buried in concrete slabs and other potential ACM which is inaccessible

for sample extraction due to the physical coverage of the material were not sampled. EC does assure,

however, that due diligence was observed in performing sampling by generally recognized industry

sampling practices.

The Client should be advised that quantities referenced herein are estimates/approximations. Should a

previously unidentified suspect material be discovered during the demolition process that material should

be treated as an asbestos containing material until otherwise determined by appropriate sampling and

analysis, in accordance with 40 CFR, Part 763, and N.J.A.C. 8:60 and 12:120, inclusive of utilizing

USEPA accredited Asbestos Building Inspectors to collect the appropriate number of samples and an

AIHA accredited laboratory that is a NVLAP participant.

SECTION 6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The environmental assessment performed at the NJDOT Jersey City Maintenance Yard on May 28, 2018,

revealed two (2) asbestos containing materials and seven (7) lead-based paint coated building

components. No PCB containing caulks or glazing were identified during the assessment. Based on the

results of our inspection, EC offers the following recommendations.

Employ a USEPA accredited Asbestos Project Designer to develop Plans and Specifications for

the asbestos abatement tailored to the scheduled renovations.

Removal of asbestos containing materials should be performed in accordance with 29 CFR

1926.1101 (the OSHA Standard for Asbestos in Construction). A New Jersey Department of

Labor licensed Asbestos Contractor must be employed to remove the asbestos containing

material(s), in accordance with N.J.A.C. 8:60 and 12:120. Please be advised that the types and

quantities of asbestos containing materials identified in this report do not fall under the

governance of N.J.A.C. 5:23-8, commonly referred to as Sub-Chapter 8. If the scope of work

changes, compliance requirements must be re-evaluated.

Perform air monitoring in accordance with federal and New Jersey requirements for asbestos

abatement in public buildings. EC recommends daily air monitoring during abatement activities

in addition to clearance air monitoring at the completion of abatement.

Should any previously unidentified suspect materials be discovered during the renovation

process, all work should cease until the materials are sampled by an accredited asbestos building

inspector.

Lead safe work practices specifications should be included in the renovation design documents.

As per OSHA, the Contractor is required to have a site-specific Lead Health and Safety Plan. The

Lead Health and Safety Plan shall include worker protection, engineering controls and

decontamination procedures, as outlined in 29 CFR, Part 1926.62. In addition, as required by

OSHA, individuals who will disturb lead-based paint shall be provided exposure monitoring by

the Contractor.

Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the undersigned at your

convenience.
