About this file
This is a Hazardous Materials Survey Report for the Leesburg Farm property located at 23402 USDA Road, Groveland, Florida 34736, prepared by Terracon Consultants, Inc. for The Johnson-McAdams Firm, PA. The survey was conducted on February 3, 2026, to identify asbestos, lead paint, and other hazardous materials in three greenhouse structures and two pump house buildings planned for demolition and renovation. The survey identified asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in grey door caulking at the north double doors of the northwest and south greenhouses, with samples containing 2% and 3% Chrysotile asbestos respectively, classified as Category II non-friable materials in good condition. Lead was detected in four of six paint chip samples, with concentrations ranging from 0.0122% to 4.90% by weight on metal cabinets in the northeast greenhouse, metal planter beams, pump house piping, and a dispenser. No polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were detected in four caulk samples tested. The report recommends removal of identified asbestos-containing materials by a Florida-licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to demolition activities and requires contractors to implement lead-safe work practices in compliance with OSHA regulations 29 CFR 1926.62 and 29 CFR 1926.1101. Additional concerns identified include properly disconnecting propane heaters in greenhouses and disposing of fuel-stained concrete slabs at the pump house structures, with no mercury-containing equipment or other regulated materials of significant concern observed during the survey.

1.0 Introduction
Terracon Consultants, Inc. (Terracon) conducted an asbestos, lead paint, and hazardous materials survey of three greenhouses and two pump house structures at the Leesburg Farms at the address referenced above in Groveland, Florida. Other structures at the site were excluded from this survey. The survey was conducted on February 3, 2026, by Mr. Ian Heneryand Mr. John O’Reilly, both Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA)-accredited asbestos inspectors, in general accordance with the Terracon’s Proposal No.
PH1267029 dated January 14, 2026. Mr. O’Reilly is also a United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-accredited lead paint inspector.
Interior and exterior building components, including roofing materials, were surveyed, and homogeneous areas of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead-containing paint (LCP) / lead-based paint (LBP) were visually identified and documented. Visual evaluations for potential disturbance to PCB caulk and other miscellaneous hazardous materials were also performed. Although reasonable effort was made to survey all accessible suspect materials, additional suspect but unsampled materials could be located in walls, in voids, or in other concealed areas.
The subject survey areas for each structure are outlined in Exhibit 1 in Appendix B.
Terracon understands that the northwest greenhouse, northeast greenhouse, and both pump house structures shown in Exhibit 1 are planned to be demolished. The south greenhouse is planned for renovation. A former greenhouse scheduled to be surveyed for renovation (east of the south greenhouse) had been removed prior to our site visit.
The purpose of the survey was to:
Locate, sample (if accessible), quantify, and assess suspect building materials for asbestos content;
Locate, measure, and quantify dominant-type, representative surface coatings (i.e., paint) for lead content; and
Visually assess and quantify readily accessible building caulks suspected of containing PCBs, and other miscellaneous hazardous building components such as fluorescent, mercury vapor, high intensity discharge (HID), and other lamps, as well as liquid mercury-containing equipment such as switches, thermostats, and other temperature control and HVAC devices.

Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 2
1.1 Project Objective
Terracon also understands that the intent of the assessment is to assist the Client with communicating the presence, location, identity, condition, and approximate quantities of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in the areas accessible to employees, vendors, and contractors expected to be working at the site in order to meet the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) communication of hazard requirements found at 29 CFR 1926.1101.
OSHA has promulgated a worker protection standard for the disturbance of lead-containing paints during demolition projects. The lead paint sampling was performed to meet informational needs to comply with the OSHA Lead in Construction Standard (29 CRF 1926.62). Currently, the proposed demolition and renovation activities that may impact lead paint are subject to OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1926.62 – Lead Exposure in Construction.
Contractors should be notified of the presence of regulated materials in areas where demolition and renovation activities might result in potential employee exposures so that they can take the necessary actions to comply with OSHA requirements and disposal requirements. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) provides the EPA with the authority to regulate the waste status of demolition and renovation debris containing mercury. Specific regulatory requirements must be addressed prior to transporting, treating, storing, or disposing of regulated or hazardous wastes.
1.2 Reliance
This report is prepared for the exclusive use and reliance of the Client. Use or reliance by any other party is prohibited without the written authorization of the Client and Terracon.
Reliance on the report by the Client and all authorized parties will be subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations stated in Terracon’s proposal and the Agreement for Services. The limitation of liability defined in the Agreement for Services is the aggregate limit of Terracon’s liability to the Client and all relying parties.
2.0 Building Description
The greenhouse structures were out of service and consist of unpainted metal framing, plexiglass ceiling and wall panels, metal entrance doors and concrete floor slabs.
Concrete block planters or painted metal beam supports for planters were typically observed within the interiors. Overhead propane heaters and wall-mounted fans were observed at each of the greenhouses.
February 24, 2026 Terracon Project No. H1267029
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 3
The two pumphouse structures consist of unpainted aluminum sheds with concrete slabs below metal fuel pump equipment and piping. Portions of the piping and remnants of a former dispenser were observed by the pumphouse structures.
3.0 Field Activities
Terracon conducted the field services on February 3, 2026, 2026. At the time of field services, the designated structures being evaluated were unoccupied and mechanical equipment and utilities were inactive.
3.1 Asbestos Survey
The asbestos survey was conducted by AHERA-accredited building inspectors, Mr. Ian Henery and Mr. John O’Reilly. Copies of team members’ asbestos inspector certificates and applicable licenses are attached in Appendix F. The survey was conducted in general accordance with the sample collection protocols established in EPA regulation 40 CFR 763, the AHERA. A summary of survey activities is provided below.
Visual Assessment
Our survey activities began with visual observation of the interior, exterior, and roofs of the buildings to identify homogeneous areas of suspect ACM. A homogeneous area (HA) consists of building materials that appear similar throughout in terms of color, texture, and date of application. The assessment was conducted throughout visually accessible areas of the building. Although reasonable efforts were made to identify suspect ACM, additional suspect but unsampled materials could be located in walls, in voids, or in other concealed areas. Building materials identified as glass, wood, metal, or rubber were not considered suspect ACM.
Physical Assessment
A physical assessment of each HA of suspect ACM was conducted to assess the friability and condition of the materials. A friable material is defined by the EPA as a material that can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry. Friability is assessed by physically touching suspect ACM.
Sample Collection
Based on results of the visual observation, bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected in general accordance with AHERA sampling protocols. Terracon collected random samples from each HA of suspect ACM observed. Team members collected bulk samples using wet methods as applicable to reduce the potential for fiber release. Samples were placed in sealable containers and labeled with unique sample numbers using an indelible marker.
February 24, 2026 Terracon Project No. H1267029

Sample Analysis
Bulk samples were submitted under chain of custody to Cates Laboratories (Cates), for analysis by Polarized Light Microscopy per EPA methodology EPA/600/R-93/116. The percentage of asbestos, where applicable, was determined by microscopic visual estimation or point counting. Cates Laboratories is accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP Accreditation No. 200569-0). The asbestos analytical laboratory report is provided in Appendix C. A summary of identified ACM is provided in Appendix A.
3.2 Lead Paint Sampling
Site Limitations
It should be noted that suspect LCP/LBP, other than those identified during the survey, may be present in the buildings. The LCP/LBP testing performed is not considered comprehensive in nature and the results are not intended to be used to determine lead hazards, develop abatement plans, or prepare detailed cost estimates for abatement. Suspect LCP/LBP which has not been specifically evaluated should be tested prior to disturbance of the material. If suspect LCP/LBP is identified during the renovation process, those materials should be assumed LCP/LBP until testing can be performed to determine whether a lead is present in the paint.
February 24, 2026 Terracon Project No. H1267029
Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 5
Methodology and Analysis
Paint chip samples were collected from dominant-type, representative painted surface coatings to determine lead content, measured by percent by weight. Suspect lead paint samples were collected in general accordance with the EPA’s work practice standards for conducting lead paint activities (40 CFR 745.227). Currently, the anticipated demolition or renovation activities that could potentially disturb lead paint are subject to the OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1926.62 – Lead).
The lead paint sampling began with the Terracon representative walking the buildings to visually identify unique combinations of suspect lead paint. A unique combination of paint is based on paint color, building component, and substrate. A visual assessment of each unique combination of suspect lead paint was conducted to assess the condition of the paint. Based on the results of the visual observation, Terracon collected six bulk paint chip samples for laboratory analysis.
The collected paint chip samples were submitted under a chain of custody to EMSL Analytical, Inc. Orlando, Florida., an AIHA ELLAP accredited (Lab ID: 163563) laboratory, for analysis by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (FAA) method SW846- 3050B/7000B.
The lead paint testing scope was not meant to be a surface-by-surface investigation and was limited to the components tested as indicated in this report. Paints containing lead may be concealed beneath other layers of paint and the data presented is relative to the sample locations tested with the assumption that similar surfaces are uniform throughout at other locations.
3.3 Hazardous Materials
PCB Caulk Survey
Terracon collected four bulk caulk samples for laboratory analysis of PCBs by EPA Methods 3540C and 8082A. The laboratory results are included in Appendix F. A summary of the PCB in caulk samples collected are included in Appendix A.
Miscellaneous Materials of Concern
Terracon visually evaluated for suspect regulated materials associated with emergency exit lights, smoke detectors, fire alarms, and CFC refrigerants in HVAC equipment. Other than the need to properly disconnect propane heaters in greenhouses and properly dispose fuel-stained concrete slabs in the two pump house structures, no additional regulated materials of concern were identified. No items suspected of containing mercury, such as fluorescent, mercury vapor, HID and other lamps, or liquid mercury-containing equipment such as switches, thermostats, and other temperature control and HVAC devices were observed within the designated structures.

Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 6
Please note, no building components were opened, deconstructed, or sampled to verify if they exhibit hazard waste characteristics.
4.0 Findings and Recommendations
4.1 Asbestos
Asbestos was identified at concentrations greater than 1% in the following materials:
Northwest Greenhouse (JA1, JA2, JA3)
Gray Door Caulk -North Double Door (2% Chrysotile) o Approximately one square foot
South Greenhouse (H1 & H2)
Gray caulk – North Door Frame (3% Chrysotile) o Approximately one square foot
The asbestos-containing grey door caulks at north double doors of the northwest and south greenhouses are considered Category II non-friable materials that appeared in good condition.
Terracon recommends the proper removal and disposal of the identified asbestos-containing materials by a Florida-licensed asbestos abatement contractor (F.S. 469) prior to demolitions or renovation activities that disturb the ACM.
The asbestos analytical laboratory reports for PLM analysis are provided in Appendix C. A summary of the approximate quantity of materials identified as containing asbestos fibers is presented in Appendix A. Representative photographs are provided in Appendix D.
It should be noted that suspect materials, other than those identified during the February 3, 2026, 2024, survey may exist within the structures at the site. Should suspect materials other than those which were identified during this survey be uncovered prior to or during the demolition process, those materials should be assumed asbestos-containing until sampling and analysis can confirm or refute their asbestos content.
Table 1 included in Appendix A contains a summary of identified asbestos-containing materials. The laboratory analytical report and chain of custody are included in Appendix C.
A summary of applicable asbestos regulations is provided in Appendix E.
February 24, 2026 Terracon Project No. H1267029

4.2 Lead Paint
Lead was detected in the following 4 of 6 paint chip samples collected from dominant-type, representative painted building components:
Green/ Grey Metal Cabinets in NE greenhouse o L1 – 0.570% weight
Green Metal Planter Beams in NW greenhouse o L2 – 0.0122% weight
Yellow Metal Pump House Piping o L5 – 4.90% weight
Red Metal Dispenser by East Pump House o L6 – 0.0190% weight
We recommend that any materials known to be LCP or LBP be removed in whole architectural components to the degree possible. Sanding, grinding, or other abrasive or aggressive methods of paint removal should be avoided. Applicable regulations include but are not necessarily limited to the following:
Lead-Based Paint Activities: Training, Certification, and Work Practice Requirements, 40 CFR Part 745.
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 40 CFR Part 260, 261, 262, 263, 264.
OSHA Lead in Construction Standard, 20 CFR 1926.62.
A lead-paint sampling summary table is provided in Appendix A. The lead paint analytical laboratory report is provided in Appendix C. General photographs of the building are provided in Appendix D.
Contractors should be made aware of the presence of identified lead coatings, so that they may maintain compliance with worker protection regulations, employ lead-safe work practices, and/or conduct a negative exposure assessment per OSHA (29 CFR
1926.62 – Lead Exposure in Construction).
Please note that if any untested paints are encountered, they must be assumed to contain lead and addressed accordingly for OSHA compliance with the Lead in Construction Standard 29 CFR 1926.62, or otherwise sampled for laboratory analysis in an effort to refute the positive assumption.
The paint chip sample results are further summarized in Table 2, which is included in Appendix A. The laboratory analytical report and chain of custody are included in Appendix C. A summary of applicable lead regulations is provided in Appendix E.

Sample Description/Location Asbestos Content
These samples were analyzed by layers. The overall percent asbestos for the sample is reported when relevant. The EPA considers a material to be asbestos containing only if it contains greater than one percent asbestos by Calibrated Visual Area Estimation (CVAE). EPA regulations also indicate that Regulated Asbestos Containing Materials (RACM) materials that are friable or may become friable be further analyzed by point counting when the results indicate less than ten percent asbestos by CVAE. CatesLab utilizes CVAE on a routine basis and does not include point counting unless specifically requested by the client. The results may not be reproduced

Asbestos Regulations
The asbestos NESHAP (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M) regulates asbestos fiber emissions and asbestos waste disposal practices. It also requires the identification and classification of existing building materials prior to demolition or renovation activity. Under NESHAP, asbestos-containing building materials are classified as either:
1. Friable ACM
2. Category I non-friable ACM or
3. Category II non-friable ACM.
Friable materials are those that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Category I non-friable ACM includes packings, gaskets, resilient floor coverings and asphalt roofing products containing more than 1% asbestos. Category II non-friable ACM are any materials other than Category I materials that contain more than 1% asbestos.
All Friable ACM and any Category I, or Category II non-friable ACM which is in poor condition or has become friable, or which will be subjected to drilling, sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading and could be crushed or pulverized during anticipated renovation or demolition activities are considered regulated ACM (RACM).
In the State of Florida, asbestos activities are regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). RACM must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities which will disturb the materials. The owner or operator must provide the FDEP with written notification of planned removal activities at least 10 working days prior to the commencement of asbestos abatement activities. Removal of any RACM or ACM must be conducted by a State of Florida-licensed asbestos abatement contractor.
The OSHA Asbestos standard for construction (29 CFR 1926.1101) regulates workplace exposure to asbestos. The OSHA standard requires that employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers be maintained below 0.1 asbestos fibers per cubic centimeter of air (0.1 f/cc). The OSHA standard classifies construction and maintenance activities which could disturb ACM and specifies work practices and precautions which employers must follow when engaging in each class of regulated work.

Lead Paint Regulations
Lead is regulated by the EPA, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), FDEP and OSHA. The EPA and FDEP regulate lead use, removal, and disposal, and OSHA regulates lead exposure to workers. The EPA and HUD, with their small child-safety focus, define Lead-Based Paint (LBP) as paint, varnish, stain, or other applied coating that contains lead equal to or greater than 1.0 mg/cm2, 5,000 mg/kg, or 0.5% by dry weight as determined by laboratory analysis.
However, for the purpose of the OSHA lead standard, with its focus on the safety/exposure of construction workers, paint-containing lead includes any detectable concentrations of metallic lead, all inorganic lead compounds, and organic lead soaps.
The OSHA Lead Standard for Construction (29 CFR 1926.62) applies to all construction work where an employee may be occupationally exposed to lead. All work related to construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) is included. The lead-in-construction standard applies to any detectable concentration of lead in paint, as even small concentrations of lead can result in unacceptable employee exposures depending upon the method of removal and other workplace conditions.
Under this standard, construction includes, but is not limited to, the following:
Demolition or salvage of structures with lead or materials containing lead
Removal or encapsulation of materials containing lead
New construction, alteration, repair, or renovation of structures, substrates, or portions containing lead, or materials containing lead
Installation of products containing lead
Lead contamination/emergency clean-up
Transportation, disposal, storage, or containment of lead or materials containing lead on the site or location at which construction activities are performed
Maintenance operations associated with construction activities described above
If lead is present, an initial determination must be made by the competent person to evaluate whether exposure is at or above the Action Level (AL) of 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air (µg/m3) and the Permissible Exposure Level (PEL) of 50 µg/m3. Certain prescriptive work practices, engineering controls, and personal protective equipment is mandated based on the activity disturbing the lead containing coatings (such as abrasive blasting or torch cutting). Personal air testing and blood testing may also be required depending on the level of exposure. EPA regulates the disposal of potential toxic waste containing lead under the Resource Conservations and Recovery Act (RCRA).

Facilities | Environmental | Geotechnical | Materials 20
Waste streams from construction activities which may exhibit lead toxicity must be characterized prior to disposal to determine the appropriate disposal procedures and landfill location. However, both the EPA and FDEP generally exempt whole architectural elements from buildings with lead-containing paint from this requirement.

PCB Regulations
USEPA regulates disposal of mercury-containing fluorescent lights tubes as universal waste under 40 CFR 273. Disposal of mercury from other sources is regulated under 40 CFR 260- 262.
OSHA regulates occupational exposure to mercury under 29 CFR 1910.1000 Air Contaminants, Table Z-1 – Limits for Air Contaminants. The PEL for mercury is 0.1 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) as an 8-hr TWA.

Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials
Electrical and hydraulic equipment such as in ballasts, transformers or lift systems may contain mineral oil with minor amounts of PCBs and could be considered “PCB contaminated” (PCB content 50 mg/kg or ppm). EPA regulates transportation, disposal, and spill cleanup of PCB-containing ballasts under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), which can be found in 40 CFR 761. OSHA regulates occupational exposure to PCBs under 29 CFR 1910.1000 Air Contaminants, Table Z 1 – Limits for Air Contaminants.
EPA regulates disposal of mercury-containing fluorescent light tubes as universal waste under 40 CFR 273. Disposal of mercury from other sources is regulated under 40 CFR 260-262.
Mercury containing devices can be recycled by following Chapter 62-737, Florida Administrative Code. Mercury-containing equipment, such as fluorescent light tubes, must be sent to an approved recycling facility that recovers mercury. OSHA regulates occupational exposure to mercury under 29 CFR 1910.1000 Air Contaminants, Table Z 1 – Limits for Air Contaminants. The PEL for mercury is 0.1 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m3) as an 8-hr time-weighted average (TWA).
Refrigeration/air conditioning (AC) equipment has historically used refrigerants, such as CFCs and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), which deplete the stratospheric ozone layer. Newer refrigeration/AC equipment is likely to contain hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are used as ozone-friendly substitutes for CFCs and HCFCs. EPA regulates disposal of ozone-depleting substances (ODS) and their substitutes under 40 CFR 82. The regulations require recovery of the refrigerants by certified technicians and appropriate reclamation or disposal.
Ionization smoke detectors containing less than 1 microcurie ( Ci) of americium-241 are exempt from Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations. However, some state and local laws and regulations prohibit the disposal of ionization smoke detectors in the municipal waste stream. For this reason, smoke detectors containing radioactive material should be returned to the manufacturer for disposal. If the manufacturer refuses to accept the return of the smoke detector, check with the local governmental agency.
