EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Environmental Planning & Management, Inc. (EPM) conducted a preliminary asbestos assessment in accordance with the New York State Department of Transportation’s Environmental Procedures Manual, in connection with the reconstruction of Route 347 from the west terminus of Northern State Parkway /New Highway in the Town of Islip for approximately 15 miles east on Route 347 to the east terminus of Westgate Drive in the Town of Brookhaven (PIN 0054.05.103). The preliminary asbestos assessment was conducted along the project corridor to identify all properties which may contain asbestos containing materials. The purpose of this assessment was to 1) aid in the alignment studies for the procurement of the Right of Way (ROW); 2) determine whether or not a site would pose a threat to the health and welfare of personnel on site during construction and; 3) if asbestos is ultimately determined to be present at a property intended for demolition, conduct all abatement activities in accordance with all applicable federal and state regulations. Materials typically suspected of containing asbestos have also been included where visual observation was too limited to adequately assess materials. A summary of the bridge, highway, and roadway components, underground utilities and buildings with the potential to be disturbed by construction activities that were evaluated during the asbestos screening include: Suspect Asbestos Containing Roadway and Bridge Components Based upon a review of the record plans of the Veterans’ Memorial Bridge and the roadway, and limited field observation, the following suspect asbestos containing materials were identified. Veteran’s Memorial Bridge:

Compressed asbestos sheet packing present at both abutment back walls;

Suspect asbestos protective coating for concrete may be present between the concrete deck and asphalt wearing surface of the bridge span;

Suspect asbestos bituminous material coating may be present on the earthen side of the abutment back walls and wingwalls;

Suspect Caulk and filler material present at vertical joints located at each wingwall;

Suspect Caulk and filler material present at upper curb joint of sidewalk; Suspect Black Mastic sealant present at lower curb joint and armored

joints.

ii

Project roadway:

Asbestos containing cement conduit Type II (3” transite), used for roadway lighting is buried in the roadways at the following intersections:

o Brooksite Drive; o Terry Road; o Mt. Pleasant Road; o Route 112.

Although the record plans do not always identify asbestos containing cement conduits, it should be cautioned that other intersection may contain buried ACM conduits.

Experimental asbestos asphalt material that may be present in the right

lane of the west bound Route 347, approximately 500 feet west of Arrowhead lane. This is a limited stretch of roadway of approximately 370 feet.

Suspect Asbestos Containing Utilities The following utilities were evaluated for the suspected presence of asbestos:

• Cablevision; • Keyspan; • Suffolk County Water Authority; • Suffolk County Department of Water Sanitation; • Verizon

According to Cablevision representatives there are no known asbestos containing materials on Cablevision utilities located within the Route 347 project corridor. Review of Keyspan utility plans did not identify the presence of asbestos containing materials. In addition, according to Keyspan representatives, the insulating material used on the insulated flanges, coupling and joints are typically phenolic and to the best of the Gas Engineering Department’s Knowledge, the materials do not contain asbestos. However, high and low pressure steel gas lines may have been coated from the factory with a black/brown material which is suspect for asbestos content. According to Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA) representatives, there are no known asbestos containing materials on SCWA utilities located within the Route 347 project corridor. According to Suffolk County D.P.W. Sanitation representatives, Asbestos Cement may have been used in the construction of 10 inch Force Sewer mains that pass beneath

iii

Route 347 at the following locations:

1) Approximately 500 feet east of Northfield Road two 42-foot sections of 20-inch steel sleeved mains with 10-inch asbestos cement inserts each cross the west bound Route 347 and the south bound Route 347.The two mains run north to south for a total of approximately 110 feet and 122 feet each. These mains branch from the 10-inch force main that runs approximately 1500 feet east to west from the corner of North Drive and Route 347 to the branch. On the south side of route 347, these converge into one 10-inch main continues south approximately 790 feet to an office complex.

2) Adjacent to the recharge basin /pump station west of Nicolls Road, and next

to Blackwell Court, a 10 inch force main crosses Route 347 to Teak Court on the south side. This 10-inch force main is also runs from the pump station along the north side of Route 347, beneath Bonnie Lane to Balfour Lane. A total of approximately 1700 feet of Asbestos Cement force Sewer mains may be impacted by the reconstruction.

A review of Verizon utility plans, indicated the presence of significant quantities of concrete composite transite conduit for the telephone lines situated throughout much of the project corridor . Detailed descriptions of locations are indicated in the Preliminary Asbestos Containing Materials Assessment Report. Structures to be Potentially Demolished which May Contain Asbestos Three sets of criteria were utilized for inclusion of structures suspect for the presence of asbestos containing materials; As per Industrial Code Rule 56, a survey for the presence of asbestos containing materials is required on any building constructed prior to January 1, 1974, where demolition will occur. As per OSHA’s Asbestos Construction Standard 29 CFR 1926.1101, any thermal system insulation or surfacing material in structures constructed prior to 1980 are presumed asbestos containing materials, unless proven otherwise. Additionally, all structures regardless of construction date are suspected of potentially containing non-friable asbestos containing materials. All asbestos containing materials must be identified, and removed in accordance with all applicable regulations prior to demolition. Based upon Environmental Planning & Management's preliminary assessment, there are potentially 12 properties where structures are anticipated to be demolished under Design Build Alternative 10, A detailed investigation in the form of bulk sampling and analysis to confirm the presence/absence of asbestos is required. They are:

SECTION 1.0 – INTRODUCTION 1.1 - Purpose and Limitations This report and its appendices, comprise a Preliminary Asbestos Assessment and details the investigations conducted in order to determine which properties along the Route 347 project corridor may contain asbestos containing materials. This report is prepared in connection with the proposed New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), Region 10 reconstruction of Route 347 from the west terminus of Northern State Parkway /New Highway in the Town of Islip for approximately 15 miles east on Route 347 to the east terminus of Westgate Drive in the Town of Brookhaven (PIN 0054.05.103). This report is intended to assess the potential for encountering sites with asbestos containing materials for three purposes: 1) in order to aid in alignment studies for procurement of a Right of Way (ROW) along the project corridor; 2) determining whether or not the site would pose a threat to the health and welfare of personnel on the site during construction; and 3) to comply with New York State’s Industrial Code Rule 56 which states that before all or part of the building is demolished, the owner of the building must conduct a survey or have one done by the appropriate personnel to determine whether the building contains asbestos. Three sets of criteria were utilized for inclusion of structures suspect for the presence of asbestos containing materials; As per NYS Industrial Code Rule 56, a survey for the presence of asbestos containing materials is required on any building constructed prior to January 1974, where demolition will occur. As per OSHA’s Asbestos Construction Standard 29 CFR 1926.1101, any thermal system insulation or surfacing materials in structures constructed prior to 1980 are presumed asbestos containing materials, unless proven otherwise. Additionally, the potential exists for the presence of non-friable asbestos containing materials to be present in structures, regardless of the construction date; therefore all structures to be demolished will require investigation.

1.3 - Methodology A preliminary asbestos assessment was conducted in accordance with the New York State Department of Transportation’s Environmental Procedures Manual. The conclusions presented in this report are based on research into local and state agency archives, and a review of utility plans and roadway plans for the project corridor. Building department records were requested for twelve (12) properties where structures are proposed for demolition so that construction dates of the structures could be ascertained. With respect to utility and roadway plans, asbestos containing materials were suspected only if they were specifically indicated on the plans or in the specifications as having been used. EPM did not perform on-site visual inspections of the interiors of buildings suspected of containing asbestos-containing materials (see section 1.1). In addition, at this project stage, there was no sampling conducted in any building that would confirm the presence or absence of asbestos containing materials. 1.4 - Identification The properties have been categorized by the Town, Address and by their Section, Block, and Lot numbers. The properties chosen as suspect asbestos containing structures, were selected based on their construction dates. As indicated in Industrial Code Rule 56, structures constructed before 1974 must be surveyed for the presence of asbestos. OSHA’s Asbestos Construction Standard 29 CFR 1926.1101 indicates that, any thermal system insulation or surfacing materials in structures constructed prior to 1980 are presumed asbestos containing materials unless proven otherwise. Any sites where the construction date was unavailable (due to an absence of this information in local building department or tax assessor files) were also included since EPM could not make an assumption as to when the buildings were constructed.

SECTION 2.0 - NECESSITY TO IDENTIFY ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS Asbestos containing materials must be identified for several reasons. The Federal regulatory environment has regulations which set limits for worker exposure to asbestos on the job as set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); The Department of Transportation considers asbestos a hazardous substance and regulates its transportation; and the USEPA regulates the use and disposal of toxic substances in air, water and land and has banned all uses of sprayed asbestos material. On the state level, New York State has adopted regulations which govern the method by which asbestos containing materials are abated and has outlined the certifications required for various asbestos disciplines, as stated in New York State's Industrial Code Rule 56. All asbestos containing materials must be properly identified, handled, removed, transported and disposed of.

3-1

SECTION 3.0 - DETERMINATION OF SUSPECT ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS ALONG PROJECT CORRIDOR 3.1 - Determination of Buildings with Suspect Asbestos Containing Materials Hundreds of properties exist along the Route 347 project corridor. Based upon the preliminary assessment and review of the roadway design drawings, it is anticipated that twelve properties will potentially require demolition of buildings under Design Build Alternative 10. These properties were identified according Town, Address and Section, Block, and Lot numbers (where available). As a result, structures on nine properties will require additional investigation in the form of bulk sampling and analysis to confirm the presence/absence of asbestos. Building Department records provided information on the construction date and descriptions of alterations of the structures on the properties along the Route 347 project corridor where building demolitions are proposed.

3.2 - Determination of Suspect Asbestos Containing Utilities EPM contacted Cablevision, Keyspan, Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County Department of Water Sanitation to determine if underground utility plans indicate that utility conduits are composed of asbestos containing materials. Correspondence with the utilities is provided as Appendix A. According to Mr. Steve Schoen of Cablevision, there are no known asbestos containing materials on Cablevision utilities located within the Route 347 project corridor. EPM was not provided with Cablevision drawings for review as of the issuance of this report. Review of Keyspan utility plans (provided by Dewbery-Goodkind) did not identify the presence of asbestos containing materials. In addition, according to Mr. Robert J. Hagendorn of Keyspan, the insulating material used on the insulated flanges, coupling and joints are typically phenolic and to the best of the Gas Engineering Department’s Knowledge, the materials do not contain asbestos. During subsequent conversations with Mr. Hagendorn, he indicated that steel gas lines (high and low pressure) may have been coated from the factory with a black/brown material which EPM is presuming to be suspect for asbestos content. Newly installed gas lines (within the twenty years) may be constructed of PVC or Plastic. Mr. Hagendorn alerted EPM to the fact that almost all removal/relocation or repairs of KeySpan gas lines would be performed by KeySpan Crews. According to Mr. Bill Jacino of the Suffolk County Water Authority (SCWA), there are no known asbestos containing materials on SCWA utilities located within the Route 347 project corridor. EPM was not provided with Water Utility Plans for review as of the issuance of this report.

According to Mr. Pete McClinchy of the Suffolk County D.P.W. Sanitation, Asbestos Cement may have been used in the construction of 10 inch Force Sewer mains that pass beneath Route 347 at the following locations:

3) Approximately 500 feet east of Northfield Road two 42-foot sections of 20-inch steel sleeved mains with 10-inch asbestos cement inserts each cross the west bound Route 347 and the south bound Route 347 (see Sewage Treatment Plant Location Drawing, and sketch No.3).The two mains run north to south for a total of approximately 110 feet and 122 feet each. These mains branch from the 10-inch force main that runs approximately 1500 feet east to west from the corner of North Drive and Route 347 to the branch. On the south side of route 347, these converge into one 10-inch main continues south approximately 790 feet to an office complex (“As Built” Drawing - Location Plan, sheet 1of 5).

4) Adjacent to the recharge basin /pump station west of Nicolls Road, and next

to Blackwell Court, a 10 inch force main crosses Route 347 to Teak Court on the south side. The distance from the recharge basin/pump station to teak court is approximately 300 feet. This 10-inch force main is also runs from the pump station along the north side of Route 347, beneath Bonnie Lane to Balfour Lane for approximately 1400 feet. A total of 1700 feet of Asbestos Cement force Sewer mains may be impacted by the reconstruction. (See drawings: Map of Strathmore Sec 12, Sewer District No.10, and Map of Strathmore – Sewer Staking).

EPM contacted Mr. George Zach of Verizon to assist us in the interpretation of the Verizon drawings provided by Dewberry - Goodkind. According to George Zach of Verizon, and copies of utility plans reviewed, several Verizon conduits composed of concrete composite transite are located within the Route 347 project corridor. It was reported to EPM that representative samples of the transite conduits have been collected and laboratory analysis confirmed that the transite conduits are asbestos containing materials. Copies of the utility plans provided by Verizon are provided as Appendix B. The transite conduits are denoted as 3.5" or 4" C.C.C. or T.C. on the drawings. The transite conduits must be abated if impacted by construction. Based on EPM’s interpretation of the drawings the following are the approximate locations and quantities of the transite conduits located within the Route 347 project corridor From West to East): Drawing 3065: Three 156-foot 3.5” conduits run east from manhole #164 (A) in a duct bank “a” to the west abutment (south sidewalk) of New Highway Bridge From this point six 273-foot 3.5” conduits run east across the bridge to the east abutment.

material is existing in place. EPM reviewed all Verizon drawings that were available at the time of this survey. There are section of the project corridor for which Verizon Drawings were not provided. For those Verizon drawings that do not indicate the material used in the construction of conduits, pipes, and ducts for telephone lines, or section of the project corridor that Verizon drawings were not provided for, the determination of the presence/absence of asbestos in suspect conduits must be field verified during excavation activities. 3.3 – Determination of Asbestos Containing materials on NYSDOT Record Plans The current scope of work will not impact the New Highway bridge and approaches over the Northern State Parkway. The current scope of work will impact the Northern State Parkway west of the bridge. No suspect asbestos containing materials or confirmed asbestos containing material were identified on the parkway in this area. Review of NYSDOT record plans for Contract NSP 63002 of the Veteran’s Memorial Highway Bridge (BIN 1056180) over the Northern State extension has identified the following asbestos containing materials (ACM) and suspect asbestos containing materials (SACM): ACM:

• Compressed Asbestos sheet packing, graphited both sides 1/16” thick present at both abutment back walls between top of back wall and concrete deck is identified on Drawing 0174-VM4, sheet numbers 96 and 97.

SACM:

• Protective coating for concrete (item 361 D) present between concrete deck and asphalt wearing surface on the bridge span is identified on Drawing 0174-VM2, sheets 93 and 94.

• Bituminous material coating (item 61) present on the earthen side of the

abutment back walls and wing walls is identified on Drawing 0174-VM5, sheets 93, 97R1 and 102.

Field inspection of the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge (photo #1) identified the following suspect asbestos containing materials:

• Caulk and filler material present at vertical joints located at each wing wall (photo #2);

• Caulk and filler material present at sidewalk joint curb joint on the west bound side of bridge (photo #3);

• Mastic sealant at armored joints of the bridge (photo #4); • Mastic sealant at steel curb joint where roadway meets the curb (photo #5).

Review of NYSDOT record plans for the 1993 repair Contract D254881 entitled “Miscellaneous Bridge repairs” did not identify any suspect asbestos containing materials at the elastomeric bearings of the Veteran’s Memorial Bridge. Review of NYSDOT record plans for the 1975 Contract D95016 entitled “HAUPPAUGE – PORT JEFFERSON S.H. 9376, identified the use of 3 inch asbestos cement conduit, Type II (item 670.22) at the following location in the project corridor:

• A total of approximately 530 linear feet of asbestos cement conduit, type II is buried on the north side of Route 347, to the east and west of intersection of Brooksite Drive, identified on sheet 28R1;

• A total of approximately 530 linear feet of asbestos cement conduit type II is buried on the northeast side and the southwest side of Route 347 and Terry Road identified on sheet 31R1;

• A total of approximately 503 linear feet of asbestos cement conduit type II is buried on the southwest side and northeast side of Route 347 and Mt. Pleasant Road intersection, identified on sheet 33.

Although the general notes/estimated quantities table on sheet 2R1 of this drawing package identifies a total of 4,328 linear feet of asbestos cement conduit , type II (item 670.22) to be used in this contract, only a total of 1,563 linear feet of asbestos cement conduit was identified from specific locations on the aforementioned sheets in this drawing package. Review of NYSDOT record plans for the 1967 Contract RC 67-21 entitled “HAUPPAUGE - PORT JEFFERSON S.H. 9376, PORT JEFFERSON – RIVERHEAD S.H. 8094, sheet 36R1, identified the use of asbestos cement conduit (item 618) at the intersection of Route 347 and Route 112 (Coram S.H. 912). Approximately 90 linear feet of buried asbestos cement conduit is located in the northwest corner and southeast corner of this intersection. The asbestos conduits are used to carry traffic signal cables. 3.4 - Determination of Suspect Asbestos Containing Roadway Surface Asphalt surfaces, particularly those applied in the 1950's and 1960's were often mixed with asbestos fibers. The NYSDOT, Region 10, has compiled a listing (Design Memo No. 92(27), dated October 1, 1992) of all of their roadways which are suspected of containing asbestos. Although this list does not identify any sections of Route 347 that may have asbestos asphalt pavement (see Appendix C), 1987 NYSDOT record plans of Contract D252571 entitled” Route 347 Route 25 to 25A, drawings GN-1 and GP-17, indicate that asbestos pavement was applied for approximately 370 feet (from station 240 +40 to station 244 +30) on the west bound right lane of route 347, approximately 500 feet west of Arrowhead lane. Although the roadway and adjacent properties have

undergone extensive renovation in the last seventeen years, there is no evidence that this asbestos material was removed.
