Muranaka Environmental Consultants, Inc. conducted an asbestos and lead paint survey at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) in preparation for the demolition of two walls and the installation of doors in building B3400. The survey, commissioned by Captain John S. MacNeal, involved sampling suspect materials in the Locker Room and Room 108 on August 22, 2023. Twelve samples for asbestos analysis and three paint chip samples for lead content were collected and analyzed.
The results indicated detectable asbestos levels in the joint compound on the eastern wall of the Locker Room (2% Chrysotile), while no asbestos was found in the majority of other samples. Lead was found in both the Locker Room and Room 108, with concentrations of 360 mg/kg in the CMU wall and 220 mg/kg in the gypsum board, both exceeding HUD thresholds for lead-based paint.
The report outlines compliance requirements for handling asbestos and lead-containing materials, emphasizing the necessity for air sampling, visual inspections, and proper waste disposal during and after renovation activities. Muranaka Environmental Consultants reaffirmed the importance of adhering to EPA and state regulations as critical to ensuring safety and compliance before undertaking further construction activities.
Muranaka Environmental Consultants, Inc. (MEC) provided asbestos inspection services at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH), revealing detectable asbestos in the black mastic beneath vinyl floor tiles during sampling conducted on December 20, 2023. The inspection involved six samples submitted to NVL Laboratories, where results indicated the presence of chrysotile asbestos at percentages of 2-4% in the black mastic across various locations. Compliance with EPA, OSHA, and Hawaii state regulations is essential if asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are disturbed during subsequent demolitions. Recommendations include air sampling to ensure fiber concentrations remain below the safe limit and verified cleanup by certified personnel after removal. MEC emphasizes limitations of its findings based on the property's condition at the time of assessment and disclaims responsibility for changes occurring post-sampling. Analytical results, confirming the presence of asbestos, are crucial for ensuring safe handling and regulatory compliance in renovation projects, thus guiding future safety measures at JBPHH.
The document addresses inquiries regarding Solicitation W50SLF24R0017, which focuses on hazardous material (hazmat) removal and demolition services. Key points include that submissions can be made through the SAM website or alternative methods, and a bid bond is not required due to the project scope being estimated below $150,000.
