About this file
This document is an Asbestos Bulk Sampling Report prepared by PM Environmental for the City of Southfield, focusing on Fire Station No. 1 located at 18400 West Nine Mile Road in Southfield, Michigan. The report details an asbestos investigation conducted on September 7, 2022, where PM Environmental collected three bulk samples of ceiling plaster from different areas of the fire station, including the garage and west entrance. The samples were analyzed by EMC Labs, Inc., a NVLAP-accredited laboratory, using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) to determine asbestos content.
The laboratory analysis revealed that no asbestos was detected in the ceiling plaster samples collected from the Homogeneous Area (HA1). Specifically, the samples from the garage ceiling, front light area, and west entrance were found to contain no asbestos above the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's threshold of 1%. As a result, the report concludes that no further recommendations are warranted at this time. The investigation was part of a broader assessment to identify potential asbestos-containing materials in the fire station, which could be related to the upcoming ceiling removal project in the apparatus bay.

RE: Asbestos Bulk Sampling Report
For Fire Station No. 1 Located at 18400 West Nine Mile Road, Southfield, Michigan PM Environmental Project No. 01-14352-0-0001
Dear Mr. Zorn:
PM Environmental (PM) was retained by City of Southfield to collect samples of suspect ceiling plaster for asbestos content at the above referenced location.
Mr. Jon M. Balsamo (State of Michigan Asbestos Inspector Accreditation No. A14289) collected samples of the suspect ceiling plaster on September 7, 2022. The samples were forwarded to EMC Labs, Inc. of Phoenix, AZ a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) accredited laboratory and analyzed for fibrous asbestos by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). Samples containing greater than one percent (>1%) asbestos are considered to be asbestos containing materials (ACM) by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
PM identified one Homogeneous Area (HA) associated with ceiling materials in the areas of concern in the building. HA is defined as suspect ACM that is uniform in color and texture and appears identical in every other respect.
PM collected a total of three bulk samples of the suspect ceiling plaster. The sample information and analytical results are detailed in the laboratory data and chain of custody documentation, attached as Appendix A. Photographs of the suspect material sampled is attached as Appendix B.
The laboratory results indicate that asbestos was not detected in the Ceiling Plaster (HA1). Therefore, no further recommendations are warranted at this time.
If you have any questions related to this sampling, please contact our office at (800) 313-2966.

Distinctly stratified, easily separable layers of samples are analyzed as subsamples of the whole and are reported separately for each discernible layer. All analyses are derived from calibrated visual estimate and measured in area percent unless otherwise noted. The report applies to the standards or procedures identified and to the sample(s) tested. The test results are not necessarily indicative or representative of the qualities of the lot from which the sample was taken or of apparently identical or similar products, nor do they represent an ongoing quality assurance program unless so noted. These reports are for the exclusive use of the addressed client and that they will not be reproduced wholly or in part for advertising or other purposes over our signature or in connection with our name without special written permission. The report shall not be reproduced except in full, without written approval by our laboratory. The samples not destroyed in testing are retained a maximum of thirty days. The laboratory measurement of uncertainty for the test method is approximately less than 1 by area percent.
Accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program for selected test method for asbestos. The accreditation or any reports generated by this laboratory in no way constitutes or implies product certification, approval, or endorsement by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the Federal Government. Polarized Light Microscopy may not be consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in floor coverings and similar non-friable organically bound materials.
