Environmental Requirements The D.C. Army National Guard Armory is eligible for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. With the DCARNG being a Federalized unit in a Federal building, we must adhere to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and consult with the D.C. Historic Preservation Office, The Fine Arts Commission, and the National Capitol Planning Commission. Energy and Sustainability: Project should be in compliance with the energy management requirements stipulated in AR 420-1 Chapter 22, and should follow the applicable sections of the Army National Guard Design Guide for Readiness Centers (DG 415-1), including, but not limited to, interior and exterior windows, interior and exterior lighting, and heating and cooling systems (HVAC ). The project should also be in compliance with the Energy Independence and Security Act (2007), the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and Executive Orders 13423 and 13514. Where justified by life-cycle cost analysis, the project should exceed these energy efficiency standards. Non-renewable energy projects are deemed cost effective if they achieve a simple payback of 10 years or less and have a savings to investment ratio (SIR) of 1.2 or greater. Environmental Hazards - The proposed project has the potential to disturb known and unknown asbestos, lead, and mold hazards. ASBESTOS Areas identified as having asbestos hazards may include the window caulking, exterior window glazing, pipe fitting and insulation, radiator pad insulation, floor tiles, mastic, mastic dots, fire doors, air cell duct insulation pads, and other assumed asbestos containing materials (ACM). When asbestos-containing materials are damaged or disturbed by repair, remodeling or demolition activities, microscopic fibers become airborne and can be inhaled into the lungs, where they can cause significant health problems for both employees at the DCARNG and contractors. Proper care must be taken during the renovation to either not disturb these areas or conduct a complete remediation and disposal following 29 CFR 1926.1101, 40 CFR 61, and the District of Columbia Municipal Regulation -Title 20, Chapter 8. The workers shall be competent and possess the proper licenses and permits to conduct the asbestos abatement. LEAD/LEAD-BASED PAINT Lead-based paint hazards are also present in the areas proposed for this project. Concentrations of lead above the standards can be found on many of the surfaces including windows (which may also contain lead glass), walls, radiator covers, doors, door frames, ceilings, and other painted surfaces. Common renovation activities like sanding, cutting, and demolition can create hazardous lead dust and chips by disturbing lead-based paint, which can be harmful to adults and children. To protect against this risk, EPA issued a rule requiring the use of lead-safe practices and other actions aimed at preventing lead poisoning. Under the rule, beginning in April 2010, contractors performing renovation, repair and painting projects that disturb lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities, and schools built before 1978 must be certified and must follow specific work practices to prevent lead contamination. The DCARNG, although not a home, child care facility, or school, requires that 40 CFR 745 be followed. Additionally, the DCARNG requires that 29 CFR 1926, 29 CFR 1910, 24 CFR 35 and the District of Columbia's Lead-Hazard Prevention and Elimination Act of 2008 be followed. Workers shall be competent and possess the proper licenses and permits to conduct any lead paint abatement. MOLD In the proposed areas for this project there may or may not be mold contamination. If more than 25 contiguous feet mold is found, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's "Mold Remediation in Schools and Commercial Buildings" guidance shall be used in conjunction with 29 CFR 1910 and 29 CFR 1926. DISPOSAL Any materials removed during the abatement(s) shall be disposed of following the regulations noted above as well as any RCRA regulations that may apply. The waste shall be taken to an appropriate and legal landfill. Copies of disposal manifests shall be provided to the DCARNG. These water intrusion issues have impacted the basement level of the facility. The impacted areas discovered had not only been water damaged, but suspected microbial growth has colonized.
