1.0 INTRODUCTION & EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mabbett and Associates, Inc. (M&A), with EnviroMed Services, Inc. (EnviroMed) as sub-contractor, performed surveys for suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACM) and screenings of suspect lead containing paint (LCP) surfaces utilizing an X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyzer. Surveys were performed of selected buildings at the VA Medical Center (VAMC) located at 950 Campbell Avenue, West Haven, CT, under Contract VA241-P-1653. A complete list of buildings surveyed is in Volume I of this report. Site survey work was performed in August 2010 by appropriately credentialed personnel as required. Collected suspect ACM samples were submitted to a certified analytical laboratory for asbestos analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) using positive stop methodology and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) where indicated. When necessary, paint chip samples were collected and submitted to a certified analytical laboratory for lead content analysis using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The survey effort involved the collection or screening of the following samples, resulting in the following conclusions:
114 bulk samples for suspect ACM were collected in this building. Based on laboratory analysis of suspect ACM, 7 of the collected samples
contained asbestos greater than 1%. 212 XRF analyzer screening measurements of building surfaces were taken in this
building. Based on XRF screening measurements, 118 of the screening measurements
revealed concentrations of lead in paint that exceeded 0.1 milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2).
This building report consists of a summary of findings, floor plans that indicate positive sample locations, detailed analytical findings for the specific surveyed building materials, and photos of LCP greater than 1.0 mg/cm2 and in non-intact condition. Laboratory certificates of analysis and field data sheets for this building report are available in Volume III of the Comprehensive VAMC Lead and Asbestos Survey Report. 2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION According to information provided by the VAMC Office of Facilities Management and observations made by the M&A team at the time of the survey, Building 14 was a three-story Learning Based Recovery Center (containing the National Director of Neurology) built in 1916, renovated in 1953, and occupied approximately 5,520 square feet. 3.0 ASBESTOS SURVEY
3.1 Sampling Methodology
A visual screening inspection was conducted to identify locations of suspect ACM throughout the building by state licensed asbestos inspectors. Only areas that were accessible during the field work phase were inspected. Every effort was made during the initial field survey work to access areas as necessary to complete the survey. However, areas that remained inaccessible to the survey team are indicated in Table 1 below. West Haven VAMC - Building 14 September 2011 É2011, Mabbett & Associates, Inc. Page 1 of 11 West Haven Building 14 Report Final 9-16-11.doc
Table 1 ï Specific Inaccessible Areas
West Haven VA Medical Center, Building 14
Room Reason Area Was Inaccessible and Survey Building Floor No. Impacts, If Applicable
There were no inaccessible areas identified during this survey.
Other general areas that were inaccessible or where the survey was limited to visual observation only are identified below: Å Within walls Å Within fire doors Å Enclosed pipe/duct chases Å Inside mechanical equipment/ductwork Å Above fixed drywall or plaster ceilings without access panel Due to these access restrictions, ACM surveys should be performed prior to any proposed renovations or maintenance involving inaccessible areas. Bulk samples were collected of suspect ACM in accordance with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazard and Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and VISN 1 approved M&A VISN 1 Survey Program Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Roofing materials were not sampled, unless otherwise indicated, in order to maintain applicable warranties. Bulk suspect ACM sampling was conducted according to the following sampling plan: (a) Surfacing material:
(1) At least three bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is 1,000 ft2 or less.
(2) At least five bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is greater than 1,000 ft2 but less than or equal to 5,000 ft2.
(3) At least seven bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is greater than 5,000 ft2.
(b) Thermal system insulation:
(1) At least three bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area of thermal system insulation.
(2) At least one bulk sample shall be collected from each homogeneous area of patched area of thermal system insulation.
(3) Sufficient samples shall be collected from elbows and fittings to determine if it contains ACM.
(4) Bulk samples shall not be collected from any homogeneous area where the state licensed asbestos inspector determined that the thermal system insulation is fiberglass, foam glass, rubber, or other non-ACM.
West Haven VAMC - Building 14 September 2011 É2011, Mabbett & Associates, Inc. Page 2 of 11 West Haven Building 14 Report Final 9-16-11.doc
(c) Miscellaneous material:
(1) At least one bulk sample shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is less than 100 ft2.
(2) At least three bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is greater than 100 ft2.
3.2 Analytical Methodology
The collected bulk samples were submitted under chain of custody procedures to EnviroMed Services, Inc. (EnviroMed) of Meriden, CT. EnviroMed is accredited by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and participates in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP Lab Code 200858-0). Bulk samples were analyzed with polarized light microscopy (PLM) using EPA Method 600/R-93/116. When required, sample results that revealed trace concentrations (greater than 0% but less than or equal to 1%) of asbestos by PLM were analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis. Duplicate bulk samples were submitted for PLM analysis to ProScience of Woburn, MA. ProScience is accredited by AIHA and participates in the NVLAP (Lab Code 200090-0). A summary table containing the duplicate bulk sample results is provided in Volume I, Table 5. Copies of the laboratory accreditations are included in Volume III of the Comprehensive VAMC Lead and Asbestos Survey Report. Bulk sample results are summarized in Table 4 ï Summary of ACM Building Results. The EPA, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the State of Connecticut Department of Public Health (DPH) define any material that contains greater than one percent (>1%) asbestos as being an ACM. As such, the analytical laboratory identified bulk samples as positive for asbestos that met the regulatory criteria of >1% asbestos.
3.3 Summary of Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) Findings
3.3.1 Data Tables, Laboratory Results, and Field Notes Collected bulk samples confirmed by the analytical laboratory to contain >1% asbestos are listed in Table 2 - Summary of Positive ACM Samples. Samples analyzed by PLM containing trace levels of asbestos, defined as greater than 0% but less than 1%, are listed in Table 4 with the TEM analysis results. Volume III of the Comprehensive VAMC Lead and Asbestos Survey Report includes copies of the laboratory certificates of analysis (including duplicate samples) and Inspector Field Data Sheets.

3.3.3 CADD Drawings The location of each collected bulk sample and its abridged sample ID is shown on the CADD drawings in the Figures Section of this report. The sample ID on the drawings has been abridged (by excluding the individual room number from the full sample ID) for aesthetic purposes. Each positive ACM sample location is colored red and marked with an asterisk (*), while positive stops are marked with two asterisks (**). Collected bulk samples that were not positive are identified solely by the abridged sample ID. Building areas containing ACM have been indicated with hatching to identify the location of the identified ACM. 4.0 LEAD SCREENING SURVEY
4.1 Screening Survey Methodology
The M&A Team completed a Lead Containing Paint Risk Analysis in accordance with the SOP and determined that a LCP screening survey was warranted in this building. The LCP screening survey was performed by trained lead inspectors/screeners meeting the qualifications outlined in the SOP. The screening survey measured lead concentrations in accessible building surfaces by using a Niton XLp 703A XRF (serial number 7712). The XRF instrument was calibrated at the frequency specified in the SOP.
4.2 Summary of Lead Screening Survey Findings

4.2.2 Photographs Representative photographs of building materials greater than or equal to 1.0 mg/cm2 and in non-intact condition (e.g. fair, peeling, cracking) are provided in Appendix D of this report. 4.2.3 CADD Drawings Based on the results of the lead screening survey, a table of LCP components identified with >0.1 mg/cm2 was developed. This table is presented on the CADD drawings for use by the VAMC for exposure assessments and preliminary renovation planning. Based on the results of the survey, these components identified in the CADD table and on the plan should be assumed to be LCP unless otherwise determined. 5.0 LIMITATIONS
This inspection report is the result of a diligent search of the building for ACM and LCP. Only accessible areas were included in this survey. Although a comprehensive inspection was performed, the M&A Team does not claim to have identified all of the ACM and LCP that could be present in the facility (for example, materials potentially located within aforementioned inaccessible areas in Section 3.1). M&Aôs survey was performed with limitations inherent to visual inspections. M&A has conducted this assessment with reasonable care and has performed this project within generally accepted industry standards. There can be no assurances, and M&A makes no assurances, that the information, research, and technology used to prepare this report may not change in the future, thus affecting the results reported herein. 6.0 CLOSING REMARKS
Prior to initiating plans for maintenance, renovation or demolition activities, the VAMC should review the asbestos and lead survey results to determine whether any of the materials identified as ACM or LCP will be disturbed by proposed work activities.
6.1 Asbestos
The purpose of the ACM survey was to identify ACM in the building within the limitations of the survey for worker protection purposes and future renovation or demolition planning purposes. In regard to asbestos, any suspect material encountered during renovation/demolition that is not identified in this report as being non-ACM should be assumed to be ACM unless laboratory analytical data for bulk samples prove otherwise. Suspect ACM that may be present within the walls, above inaccessible hard ceilings, or in other inaccessible locations, and that accordingly was not inspected, should be assumed to contain asbestos if discovered until otherwise verified, as previously described. If ACM must be disturbed, the ACM must be removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor and be performed in accordance with applicable regulations. If proposed work activities will not disturb intact ACM, continuous monitoring of ACM should be conducted throughout work activities to ensure the ACM remains in an intact condition. Additionally, prior to commencing work activities, personnel involved with the work activities should be made aware of the location of ACM within the building in which they will be working.

Page 10 of 11 West Haven Building 14 Report Final 9-16-11.doc
Maintenance (O&M) program is outlined in the VAMC campus-wide Asbestos O&M Management Plan available in Volume I of the Comprehensive VAMC Lead and Asbestos Survey Report. 6.2 Lead Containing Paint
The purpose of the LCP screening survey was to identify patterns of LCP. For the purpose of this LCP screening survey, representative interior and exterior building components were tested. The regulations addressing LCP in non-residential building are focused on protecting workers involved with paint-disturbing activities and related waste-disposal activities. Worker protection is regulated by OSHA regulations as well as applicable state regulations. These regulations involve air monitoring of workers to determine exposure levels when disturbing paint containing measurable lead. A LCP determination cannot determine a safe level of lead, but is intended to provide guidance as to the locations of where LCP is present. Employees and contractors may use this information to better determine exposures of workers to airborne lead by understanding the different concentrations of lead paint on representative components and surfaces. Worker exposure controls can then be implemented and air monitoring can then be performed during activities that disturb paint on representative surfaces. A concentration of lead greater than or equal to 1.0 mg/cm2 exceeds HUD residential standards and is an indicator of risk. OSHA does not specify a safe concentration of LCP. However, for the purposes of this LCP screening survey, lead concentrations greater than 0.1 mg/cm2 have been utilized as a threshold established by VISN 1 for areas where possible worker exposures may occur.

1. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND SETTING
Woodard & Curran, Inc. prepared this report assessing the effects of a proposed Roadway Resurfacing Project (“theProject”) on the potential historic resources at the Veterans Affairs Connecticut Healthcare System Medical CenterWest Haven Campus (“West Haven VAMC”). This report is submitted along with a Project Review Cover Form to theState of Connecticut, Department of Economic and Community Development, State Historic Preservation Office(“SHPO”), as well as to the Federal Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (“ACHP”) in Washington, DC and tothe local West Haven Historical Commission. The report is intended to satisfy the requirements under Section 106 ofthe Historic Preservation Act and in accordance with 36 CFR 800.11(d).
The West Haven VAMC is reconstructing and widening a small section of interior roadway and adjacent pavedparking areas on its West Haven, CT campus. This limited Project includes auxiliary improvements that includerelocating catch basins, a hydrant, and light poles to accommodate the widening of the roadway. The stairs on theexisting adjacent brick retaining wall along the VAMC property boundary on West Spring Street will be removed andreplaced with a new solid wall section. The roadway resurfacing and associated improvements are necessary as partof ongoing maintenance, repair, and upgrade of the hospital’s roadway infrastructure and facilities in support of itscritical care mission providing medical and health care services to Veterans.
The Project will replace a section of the Service Road along the eastern corner of the campus adjacent to the sidesof the main high-rise medical Buildings 1 and 2 and paralleling West Spring Street. It will extend from a point adjacentto Building 1 for a distance of approximately 1,000 linear feet ending behind Building 1 and opposite the GeneratorPlant GB1 (Building 39). Figure 1 shows a map of the campus and its buildings. The Project will be limited to asection of the internal Service Road on VAMC property that parallels West Spring Street. A limit-of-work boundarywill be maintained during the construction period that follows the general existing roadway alignment (see Figure 2).
The West Haven VAMC campus is located at 950 Campbell Avenue. It encompasses approximately 47 acressituated between Campbell Avenue, West Spring Street, and Lawson Road in central West Haven. Hospitaloperations date from the early 20th century with the earliest existing hospital buildings on the campus dating to 1916.The original facility was opened as the Tuberculosis Annex of the General Hospital Society of Connecticut, whichwas later incorporated to the United States Veteran Hospital system. The first large multi-story hospital building wasconstructed in approximately 1949 with a second multi-story building and several other facilities added around 1952.The current hospital buildings and facilities have been upgraded, modernized, and expanded over the years and newfacilities constructed as the VAMC’s medical needs and services and facility operations have evolved to affordmodern and improved health care services to Veterans. Today, the hospital serves Veterans from Connecticut andneighboring states.
The hospital and facilities operating today include approximately 40 buildings consisting of medical facilities, offices,maintenance and utility structures, storage buildings, and aboveground and underground utilities. Much of thecampus is paved, including walkways, roadways, and parking areas with pockets of open space and vegetated andgrassed areas located throughout the campus.

2. NEED FOR ROADWAY RESURFACING PROJECT
The Project will repair and replace damaged road surfaces and curbing, parking spaces, walkways, and walls thatrequire rehabilitation and allow for two-way traffic the entire length of the existing Service Road roadway, whichcurrently is one-way in some sections and has operational constraints to auto and truck travel. This roadway issubject to daily usage by hundreds of cars and trucks, as well as winter conditions that wear away the paved surfaceand damage the substrate and is, therefore, in need of immediate repair. Repairing the roadway and drainagesystem will result in improved public and vehicle safety and reduced environmental impacts on the campus and in theneighborhood.
The Project will disturb approximately 50,000 square feet of developed areas that comprise approximately 70%impervious pavement and sidewalk and 30% pervious landscaped areas. Disturbed landscaped areas will either beregraded and maintained as landscaped area or converted to impervious pavement in order to widen the ServiceRoad to alleviate travel and safety issues. Specifically, the project will:
Demolish, realign, widen, and pave approximately 1,000 linear feet of existing Service Road;
Relocate catch basins and reconfigure drainage system to capture stormwater runoff from new impervioussurfaces associated with widening the Service Road;
Remove deteriorated curbing and install as new;
Install new guardrail along the southern side of the Service Road;
Construct approximately 300 linear feet of sidewalk at the western portion of the project limits;
Demolish and pave current parking area within the limit of work and restripe area to provide the mostadvantageous parking space layout;
Stripe roadways;
Construct 10 new parallel parking spaces at the western portion of the project limits;
Demolish existing steps that provide access to the campus from West Spring Street;
Construct a new retaining wall section in place of the existing steps;
Replace the railing along the wall within the project limits; and
Relocate an existing hydrant and light poles that need to be moved as a result of widening the ServiceRoad.

3. ROADWAY RESURFACING DESIGN
The Project primarily comprises demolishing and reconstructing approximately 1,000 linear feet of the existingService Road. In areas where the Service Road is not 22 feet wide, the roadway width will increase to 22 feet toallow for two-way traffic. The resulting alignment will follow the existing roadway layout with minor adjustments. Thiswork will entail full-depth reconstruction of this section of roadway, including replacement of its base, binder, andfinish courses. In addition, the roadway will be restriped and new guardrail along the southern side of the ServiceRoad will be installed. Existing curbing will be maintained or reused where possible or replaced as needed.
The two parking areas within the limit of work will also be demolished and reconstructed as part of the Project and anadditional 10 parallel parking spaces will be added along the Service Road. The work to the existing parking areaswill also entail full- depth reconstruction, including replacement of its base, binder and finish courses. The areas willbe restriped to provide the most advantageous parking space layout. Existing curbing within the parking areas will bemaintained or reused where possible or replaced as needed. The 10 new parallel parking spaces and associated 300linear feet of new sidewalk will be located at the western portion of the project limits.
Auxiliary utility work includes relocating catch basins and reconfiguring the drainage system to capture stormwaterrunoff from new impervious surfaces associated with widening the Service Road. In addition, an existing hydrant andlight poles will need to be relocated as a result of widening the Service Road.
In addition to the roadway work, the steps that currently provide access to the campus from West Spring Street willbe demolished, and a new retaining wall section will be constructed in its place eliminating the steps and access atthis location. This work will allow for a continuous wall alignment along West Spring Street. Additional work to the wallincludes replacing the railing along the wall within the project limits.
The duration of construction activities is expected to be two to three weeks, depending on weather. The constructionactivities will be managed to minimize disturbance to hospital operations and allow full access to the hospital facilitiesduring construction.
The plans of the Roadway Resurfacing Project are found in Attachment 1. Photographs of the work area are shownin Attachment 2, beginning at the southern end of the project limit of work area near Building 2 and ending at thenorthern end near the Generator Building 39 (see Figure 2).

4. HISTORIC RESOURCES ON WEST HAVEN VAMC CAMPUS
The West Haven Campus of the VA Connecticut Healthcare System is expected to be recommended as eligible forinclusion in the National Register of Historic Places at the national level. An inventory and assessment of thehospital’s historic resources is being carried out by the Department of Veterans Affairs and is expected to becompleted by the end of this year. Prior to such nomination, this assessment is provided as an overview of thecampus’ historic buildings and its place in the history of VA hospital operations.
The West Haven VAMC appears to meet the criteria for nomination to the National Register. At the national level, itrepresents an early twentieth century hospital facility for treatment of tuberculosis patients; at the local level, it isassociated with the Winchester family who were a prominent industrial family in the state; and at the regional level itis noted for its Georgian Revival architecture and for the entrance gate and grounds designed by noted landscapearchitect Beatrix Ferrand, who also designed landscapes at Yale, Princeton, and Dumbarton Oaks in Washington,DC.
The hospital complex consists of two hospitals of different periods on a single site: one, the early twentieth centurytuberculosis facility funded by a donation from the Winchester family; and the other a post-World War II hospitalconstructed and operated by the Dept. of Veterans Affairs. Both hospitals were constructed for the express purposeof treating tuberculosis (TB), making it a unique complex of medical buildings spanning decades of medical treatmentand specialized services for TB. The first hospital buildings were constructed in 1916 following a donation made in1911 to the New Haven Hospital by Sara Winchester in memory of her husband, William Wirt Winchester ofWinchester rifle fame. The original William Wirt Winchester Hospital was dedicated in 1918.
The hospital became a Veterans hospital in 1948 following the end of World War II and the VA constructed the twopresent-day high-rise medical facilities, Buildings 1 and 2, in 1949 and 1952, respectively. Unlike the majority of itsThird Generation hospitals of this period that were built as new facilities, the VA incorporated the older hospitalcomplex buildings into its medical complex and health care operations. VA planned only a handful of dedicated TBfacilities as part of its Third Generation program and with the advancements in treatment of TB over this period, thehospital was ultimately converted to a general medical care facility.
The period of significance of the hospital is from 1916 to 1958 corresponding to its early history as a TB hospitalfollowed by its operation as a TB facility by the VA and culminating in the end of the VA’s Third Generation hospitalperiod. Three major construction periods are noted on the campus over the period of its operations. These are itsoriginal Winchester Hospital period (1916-1948), the VA Third Generation hospital period (1948-1958), and post-VAThird Generation (1958-present). There are 17 buildings plus the original Campbell Ave. gate and surrounding wall)extant from the Winchester TB Hospital period. The two high-rise Buildings 1 and 2 are from the Third Generation VAhospital; and another 15 buildings were added after the close of the Third Generation period. It is noted that theexterior materials and appearance of Buildings 1 and 2 have been significantly altered from their original conditionduring past renovations by the addition of building cladding and new windows, thereby removing all originalarchitectural details and finishes.
There are 19 contributing elements identified on the West Haven campus that contribute to its potential nominationas a historic district to the National Register of Historic Places. These are shown in italics on the following Table 1listing the buildings on the campus. The table includes the building number, its current use, and the date that it wasconstructed. All of the buildings and structures have been adapted and modernized over the years for present daymedical use and facility operations. The location of these historic buildings relative to the proposed Project limit-of-work boundary is shown on Figure 3.

5. FINDING OF “NO ADVERSE EFFECT”
This Project is necessary to upgrade and widen a section of the existing interior Service Road and associateddrainage system plus other utilities and wall section and replace these with a new roadway section and infrastructure.The completed Project will provide the VAMC with a new roadway section that will improve the safety and circulationof this section of the campus Service Road.
The proposed Roadway Resurfacing Project at the West Haven VAMC will have “no adverse effect” on potentiallyeligible historic resources on the campus, including the original hospital buildings and those from the VA ThirdGeneration hospital period. All of the original historic hospital buildings from 1916 are sufficiently distant from theproposed construction activities or outside of the limit-work so that no disturbance will occur to these structuresduring the temporary construction period. The two high-rise Buildings 1 and 2 that are closest to the roadwayresurfacing and construction activities have already been significantly altered in appearance by the addition of a newsurface cladding material and new windows so that the original buildings’ appearance has been altered.
A finding of “no adverse effect” is based on the limited area of disturbance of the project along a small section of theinterior Service Road that parallels West Spring Street and the avoidance of disturbance to historical buildings on thecampus. The construction activities will be confined to the roadway right-of-way with only minor realignment to widenthe roadway to safely accommodate 2-way traffic and avoid underground utilities. There will be no disturbance tobuildings or structures along the roadway in the area of the limit-of-work (see Figure 2), and potentially historicresources from 1916 will not be affected. In addition to the limited disturbance that will result from the Project, therewill be limited visibility of the Project construction activities due to its location at grade at the edge of the campusaway from the main entrance, as well as the screening afforded by buildings and topography. At the conclusion of thelimited construction period, expected to be two to three weeks, the appearance of the finished roadway andassociated infrastructure will be the same as presently exists.
