SUBJECT:
Black River Pump Station
This project has been reviewed by Darrell Myers, AHERA Building Inspector Certificate #145176, (expires
January 8, 2015). A good faith review of the documents and past inspections and testing indicate the
presence of asbestos and lead based paint through the work area of this project site.
In the office (control building) interior wall joint compound contains 2% Chrysotile, also on the office
building all windows and exhaust penetrations contain 3-4% Chrysotile in the caulk.
The interior beam in the office contains 14% lead based paint.
In the pump building, all pumps, beams/columns, plates and railings contain 1.8 to 27% lead based paint.
In addition all piping, instrument piping and conduits contain lead based paint.
Gaskets and pipe insulation could not be sampled without destructive sampling to machinery in use and
are presumed to be asbestos containing materials until proven negative.
The fish well railings and grating contain 33% lead based paint and is in very poor shape.
Please refer to NVL Laboratories inspection completed on May 23, 2013.
No abrading, grinding or hot methods should be employed for removal of equipment. If these are to be
used, then lead-based paint abatement needs to be conducted prior to the activities.
See Exhibit D for NVL lab report and sampling results.
