Dear Stavros Aggainis
The lead-based paint TCLP analysis inspection was performed to determine if the
concrete walls and ceiling materials to be disposed would be under the limit of the regulatory
hazardous limit of 5 ppm. The methodology employs the use of the "Worst Case Scenario'
as described in this document. The mathematical approach does not require laboratory
analysis to resolve the leach ability of the paint matrix,because it assumes that of the worst
case in which all of the paint matrix is leachable.All surfaces evaluated were below the
hazardous levels of 5ppm. Please be advised that our evaluation is solely for lead-paint on
construction material.
A visual site visit on December 13,2019 and an XRF inspection of December 18,2019,
were done at 4 Franklin Street,Salem,MA were done. Attached please find XRF lead based
paint test results required data for the mathematical analysis.
The following summarize type of materials tested for painted surfaces as of the
date of the on-site evaluations.
1. CW concrete block 8"x 16"x 8"
2. CW concrete block 4"x 8"x 16"
3. Precast concrete hollow core plank
It should be noted that the EPA Renovate,Repair and Painting(RRP) rule does not cover
commercial building or residential building where complete demolition is done.Nor does the
EPA RRP rule regulate surfaces with lead content less than 1.0 mg/cmZ,as is the case at this
location. It is important,however, to check with the local health department and state
agencies that may have regulations that could impact the demolition process although the
surfaces are not classified as lead-based paint by EPA definitions.
Sincerely,
John Pesce
Master Lead Inspector/Risk Assessor M1201
The TCLP analysis was done for one single analyte,lead, on concrete blocks that comprise
walls and ceilings of the structure's materials that potentially will be sent to a landfill. This
analysis does not encompass any other evaluation of debris of any other analyte or
potentially hazardous materials, such as but not limited to Asbestos,Polychlorinated
Biphenyls (PCBs),and Oils & Other Hazardous Materials.
The waste stream for the TCLP analysis also did not include Bulk Scrap Metal as defined in
310 CMR 30.010 as: `Bulk Scrap Metal Item means a large item composed of worn out
metal or a metal product that has outlived its original use, such as automobile hulks,
railroad cars, steel beams from torn down buildings or bridges, and household appliances."
Bulk Scrap Metal, is not subject to Section 310 CMR 30.200, or any other provision of 310
CMR 30.000.
Screen and Calculate Lead Concentration
This method involves using knowledge based on known data to calculate the concentration
of lead in the entire quantity of debris. It is best used where the contamination is confined
to a distinct layer such as the paint. The full and versions of this method are described:
The Full Version r
1. Use field screening to find the components with lead-based paint.
2. Record the dimensions of the lead-based paint coated surfaces and calculate the total
painted surface area (in square centimeters)on the components to be removed.
3. Sample the paint on the surface of the components to be removed, and test them at a
laboratory to find the average weight percent of lead in the lead-based paint, the average
paint thickness (in centimeters), and the average paint density (in milligrams per cubic
centimeter).
4. Estimate the mass (in kilograms)of the components to be removed. Traditional
engineering and/or demolition industry methods may be used.
5. Determine the mass-concentration of lead in the debris as follows:
Volume of lead-based = Painted surface area in x Average paint
paint in cubic centimeters centimeters squared thickness in
centimeters
Mass of lead-based paint = Average paint density in x Volume of lead-
in milligrams milligrams per cubic based
centimeter paint in cubic
centimeters
Mass of lead in the lead = Average weight percent of x Mass of lead-based'
based lead in the lead-based paint paint in milligrams
paint in milligrams
Mass-concentration of lead = Mass of lead in the lead-based paint in
in the structure in milligrams divided by the Estimated mass of the
milligrams per structure in kilograms
kilogram
The 100 milligrams per kilogram value used above represents the lowest possible mass
analysis concentration which could leach out greater than 5.0 milligrams per liter in a TC
LP test. This is due to the 20:1 dilution ratio of the TCLP test protocol,and also assumes
that 100% of the lead in the sample will leach out. Although in reality 100% of the lead
would rarely leach out this assumption must be made in the place of actual TC LP results.
This "worst-case" assumption adds a"safety factor"to compensate for errors in the data or
in calculating the mass of the structure.
If the initial test results show that the average weight percent of lead in the lead-based
paint, the average paint thickness, or the average paint density varies widely from one part
of the structure to another, it may be better to do separate "mass of lead-based paint" or
"mass of lead in the lead-based paint" calculations for each part of the structure with similar
values. The individual results for the different parts of the structure could then be summed
before dividing by the mass of the entire structure.
A simpler alternative is to use the highest numbers in each category for the calculation
on the entire structure.If the calculation passes the 100 milligrams per kilogram test
even with the highest values,there is no need to go through the additional effort to
weight the different portions of the structure in this manner,since the result can only
be lower.
In order to determine the TCLP, the relative density of the concrete masonry unit(CMU)
and that of the precast concrete hollow ceiling must be calculated empirically since the
blocks have voids (cells) and is not of uniform consistency.
Basis:
CMU(8"x16"x8")dimensions 20.3cm x 40.6cm x 20.3cm= 16,731.7cm3
Weight of the CMU= 14,968.5g
Density 14,968.5g/16,731.7cm3 =0.895g/cm3
CMU (4"xl6"x8") dimensions 10.2cm x 40.6cm x 20.3cm= 8,406.6cm3
Weight of the CMU= 11793.4g
Density 11793.4g/8,406.6cm3= 1.403g/cm3
Precast concrete hollow ceiling for a 30.5cm x 20.3cm x 30.5cm= 18,884.1cm3
Weight of the precast ceiling=28,122.7g
Density 28,122.7g/l8,884.1cm3 = 1.49 g/cm3
