LIMITED ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS INSPECTION
Prepared for:
Scranton Office of Economic and Community Development 340 North Washington Avenue (Municipal Building), Scranton, PA 18503
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
An Asbestos Containing Materials Inspection was conducted on July 30th, 2025 within the planned demolition site located at 110 Marion Street, Scranton, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the inspection was to determine if asbestos containing materials exist within the structure.
Mr. William Sterling (PA Asbestos Inspector #057069) of Quad Three Group, Inc.
conducted the inspection in conjunction with demolition scheduled at the structure.
As part of this asbestos inspection, the quantities and conditions of asbestos containing materials were identified. A total of four (4) multiple layered bulk material samples were collected and analyzed.
Asbestos containing materials (ACM) were not identified on the accessible areas of the structure located at 110 Marion Street, Scranton, Pennsylvania
Materials that were non-suspect or were sampled and through analysis found to not contain asbestos include exterior wall board and shingle siding. Descriptions of all the material samples collected can be found in Appendix A.
The conclusions presented in this report are the result of the coalition, compilation and analysis of samples and other information obtained during the inspection. The results presented in this report represent the conditions present at the time of the inspection. Quad Three Group has no control over conditions or events that occurred following the date of inspection.
II. INTRODUCTION
On July 30 th, 2025, a limited asbestos inspection was performed within 110 Marion Street, Scranton, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the inspection was to visually locate, identify and quantify asbestos containing materials (ACM) as they exist within the structure scheduled for demolition. The survey / inspection process included:
A. Inspecting the area to identify representative “suspected” asbestos-containing materials, types and sampling sites.
B. Collecting representative samples from any suspect material in order to identify all
Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM). Examples of these materials include Pipe insulation, plaster, sheet-rock, floor tiles, linoleum, etc.
C. Sampling was performed by experienced, licensed personnel utilizing semi -destructive sampling techniques in an attempt to locate asbestos containing materials.
1.
D. Laboratory analysis of the materials sampled was performed at an accredited laboratory using the EPA recommended method of polarized light microscopy (PLM) for friable samples.
III. SURVEY AREA DISCUSSION
The property was comprised of a two story structure at 110 Marion Street. Access to the interior of the structure was limited at the time of the inspection due to structural concerns caused by collapsing areas in the rear of the structure, and large amounts of debris blocking safe entrances / exits to the structure. The Inspection was limited to the accessible areas of the structure. Major structural components include concrete, brick, stone, block, and wood.
IV. MATERIALS SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGY
The building inspection was conducted by an inspector, qualified by experience, education and training in the recognition of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM). An initial walk through was conducted to identify suspect asbestos containing materials and to group them into homogeneous sampling areas.
Following the walkthrough, the number of samples required to determine the presence of ACM in the study areas was determined. Sample collection was performed with the intent to identify and locate asbestos containing materials and to group them into homogeneous material categories. This grouping allowed the inspectors to identify like materials within the facility to avoid over sampling or mischaracterization of an asbestos containing material.
The majority of the ACM samples were located utilizing non-destructive techniques. Some areas of ACM may still exist in areas that could not be accessed until complete interior demolition is completed.
Representative samples of each “suspect asbestos containing material” were collected utilizing approved federal and state methods. When samples were collected, the locations were noted. Measurements were taken to determine the approximate quantity of suspect material. The condition of the material was also documented at that time.
All material samples were analyzed via Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) as per EPA/600R- 93-116, July 1993.
The analytical results and locations for all samples collected can be found in Appendix A.
The samples were analyzed by EMSL Analytical Inc. of Cinnaminson New Jersey. EMSL is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s “National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program” NVLAP, and has developed and implemented an intra laboratory quality assurance/quality control program to ensure accuracy and consistency of results.
Asbestos is present if the material analyzed is greater than one percent (>1.0%) by weight.
This stipulation is outlined in the EPA Publication EPA 500/5-85-024, Section 2.2.2.2.
2.
V. INSPECTION FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Asbestos containing materials have not been identified on the accessible areas of the structure.
Asbestos containing materials are categorized as containing asbestos concentrations greater than one percent (>1.0%) by weight. Asbestos fiber concentrations less than one percent (<1.0%) by weight are still regulated under OSHA standard 1926.1101.
Below are the results of the building inspection. The results indicate the sample location, sample numbers, material and condition. Some of the materials were homogenized for sampling purposes. For example, once a homogeneous material was sampled, the sample result could be considered representative for that material throughout the residence. If one sample of a homogeneous material tested positive for asbestos, then the entire homogeneous material was classified as asbestos containing in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency Guidelines.
The conditions of the materials are designated as good, damaged or significantly damaged.
The following materials were found to contain more than one percent (>1.0%) asbestos by weight:
ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS WERE NOT IDENTIFIED ON THE ACCESSIBLE
AREAS OF THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 110 MARION STREET, SCRANTON, PA.
Analytical results for the materials sampled are located in Appendix A.
Friable materials are materials that can be crushed by applying hand pressure. Non-friable materials are materials that typically cannot be crushed by hand pressure (floor tiles/mastics). If grinding or pulverization were to occur during demolition, non-friable materials can be rendered friable.
Asbestos containing materials (friable and non-friable) located on the interior / exterior of a building, which will be disturbed during renovations / demolition, must be removed and disposed of by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor.
VI. ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIAL ABATEMENT COSTS
As part of this report, cost estimates have been provided to help assist the Scranton Office of Economic and Community Development to evaluate the costs associated with a renovation or demolition project. The cost estimates have been arrived at independently and have been inserted in this report solely for the use of the Scranton Office of Economic and Community Development. The following estimate has been prepared for budgetary purposes. All measurements are approximate. Contractors should independently verify the quantities of materials when preparing a cost estimate for removal.
The following applies:

06 62 00 E-verify Act and Form
On July 5, 2012, Gov. Corbett signed into law the Public Works Employment Verification Act (S.B. 637) which takes effect January 1, 2013.
The Act requires all public works contractors and subcontractors in Pennsylvania to use E-Verify to verify the employment eligibility of new employees and applies to projects with an estimated cost in excess of $25,000 that are funded by the Commonwealth, or its political subdivisions, authorities, or agencies. E-Verify is an internet-based system that compares information from an employee’s Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, to data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records to confirm employment eligibility.
(5) "Public work" means construction, reconstruction, demolition, alteration and/or repair work other than maintenance work, done under contract and paid for in whole or in part out of the funds of a public body where the estimated cost of the total project is in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), but shall not include work performed under a rehabilitation or manpower training program.
Under the Act, a contractor must submit a verification form signed under penalty of perjury and acknowledging its compliance with the Act as a precondition of being awarded a public works contract. Subcontractors must submit the form prior to commencing work on the public works project. In addition, contractors must include in their subcontracts information about the requirements of the Act. The Department of General Services (DGS) will create the verification form and is also charged with enforcement of the Act through complaint-based as well as random audits.
A contractor or subcontractor violates the Act by failing either to use E-Verify or to provide the verification form. Sanctions for failure to use E-Verify range from a warning letter (to be posted on the DGS website) for a first violation to a one year debarment for a third and subsequent violation. A willful violation of the Act will result in a 3-year debarment. Civil penalties for failure to use the form or for false statements on the form range from $250 to $1,000 for each violation.
The Act provides significant protection for whistleblowers. If an employee of a contractor or subcontractor is retaliated against for instigating or cooperating in an investigation, the employee can bring suit (which must be brought within 180 days from the date the employee knew of the retaliation) to obtain reinstatement of employment and to collect three times lost wages, along with an award of attorney’s fees and costs.
A contractor or subcontractor who relies in good faith on E-Verify has immunity from sanctions and shall have no liability to any individual who is not hired or is discharged from employment.
Good faith is shown by a federal agency’s written acknowledgment of the use of E-Verify.
Contractors are not liable for violations by subcontractors.
