Background Watts Architects and Engineers (Watts) performed surveys for asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in relation to proposed renovations at Schoellkopf Hall of the DeVeaux Woods State Park. Schoellkopf Hall is located at 3180 DeVeaux Woods Drive in Niagara Falls, NY. Schoellkopf Hall is a vacant three-story building began construction in 1926 and was opened in 1929. The building originally housed the DeVeaux College for Orphans and Destitute Children. The school was closed in 1970 and the building has changed hands several times since, while mostly standing vacant. The current owner, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historical Preservation, plans to clean and repair the building to a condition which is adequate to attract potential buyers. Due to incidental disturbances throughout the building, cleanup must be performed prior to uncertified consultants and workers entering the structure. The building is approximately 21,000 square feet, consists of three floors, a basement and attic space and contains 48 rooms. Due to the lack of conditioning, maintenance and security, most building finishes, both ACM and non-ACM have deteriorated. The non-ACM plaster ceiling and wall systems have crumbled leaving dust and debris piles throughout the structure. As a result of our site investigations and discussions of project scope, it was determined that relief from certain conditions of ICR-56 will be needed to complete the scheduled work safely and efficiently. Thermal System Insulation Debris Cleanup The effects of time, roof leaks and unconditioned spaces have negatively impacted all building materials including asbestos-containing pipe, mud fitting and tank insulation. Asbestos-containing insulation debris was observed throughout the basement during the survey field work. It is also likely that asbestoscontaining pipe insulation is present in wall chases, cavities above hard ceilings and other inaccessible locations throughout the building. The condition of the concealed insulation is unknown. In some cases, the debris piles are under deteriorating ACM pipe insulation still connected to associated pipes. The asbestos insulation is scheduled to be removed and disposed of, and the associated debris cleaned up. The total quantity of asbestos pipe insulation that is the subject of this variance petition is approximately 2,660 LF of pipe insulation and mud fitting insulation as well as 350 square feet of tank insulation. An approximate total of 90,000 SF of floor space (as well as associated walls and floors) are in need of debris cleanup. Drywall Partition Wall Cleanup Partition walls in the basement bathroom and closet of Room S.L.R.-136 have an asbestos-containing joint compound. The walls are in deteriorated condition and the joint compound is no longer intact. As the walls are scheduled for demolition they should be included in the cleanup activities. Approximately 850 square feet of drywall walls with asbestos-containing joint compound fall within the project limits. Floor Tile Debris Cleanup Approximately 17,950 square feet of asbestos-containing floor tile with asbestos-containing mastic is present throughout the first, second and third floors including the stairwells and landings. As a result of the building being unconditioned, roof/envelope leaks and vandalism, the floor tile is in a deteriorated state and should be considered an incidental disturbance.
