3.0 METHODS

3.1 Field Survey

The survey procedure consisted of a complete visual and walk-through of the damaged areas and inspection of accessible interior & exterior surfaces, and subsequent formulation of a sampling scheme. Flooring, walls, domestic syst~m components, water heating systems and other interior surfaces were examined for the p~esence of ACM. The survey was conducted by

MDEQ certified asbestos inspector Paul AndersJn (MDEQ Certification #ABI- 1686).

All suspect materials were touched to determln~ their friablllty. If these materials could be broken and/or crumbled by hand pressure, it wfs deemed friable. Random and judgmental samples were collected from suspect materials throughout the structures. Survey and sampling procedures and protocols were condur ed in accordance with U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (USEPA) specifications and recommendations, 40 CFR 763.107 - 763.109, 40 CFR 763.85 - 763.88, 1987, and EPA manuals r 5/2-78-014 (part 1 and II) and 560/5-85-024.

The Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (IAHERA), 40 CFR 763, guidelines are considered by most regulatory agencies, USEP I and the Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) to be state of the art fo conducting asbestos inspections and assessments.

3.2 Laboratory Analysis

Bulk samples of suspect homogeneous ACMs ere collected during the inspection and subsequently submitted to Environmental Hazards Services L.L.C. located in Richmond, Virginia to determine the presence of asbestos lminerals. The EPA recommended method of polarized light microscopy (PLM) and dispersion staining was used to determine the presence of type and contents.

2.0 PROJECT SUMMARY

Joe Venus, a certified asbestos inspector, is accredited through the State of Mississippi

Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ). He has successfully completed Environmental

Protection Agency approved training in asbestos inspection and removal, and participates in ongoing training offered by accredited associations. His MDEQ Certification Number is

ABI-00001353.

Upon arriving at the Site, Mr. Venus did a short tour of the overall Site. He observed the suspect ACM material to be sampled and assigned a Homogeneous Area (HA) number, description, and measurement to the suspect materials. Homogeneous Areas are defined as suspect materials similar in color, texture, and apparent age of application.

2.1 Asbestos Survey Protocol

The ACM inspection was preformed in accordance with the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA) requirements for implementation of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency

Response Act (AHERA), and the Asbestos School Hazard Reauthorization Act (ASHARA).

The technique used for sampling the suspected materials was designed to minimize possible fiber release and in turn possible contamination of surrounding areas. The MDEQ’s guide to suspect asbestos containing materials include, all building materials, except, unpainted glass, unpainted wood, and unpainted metals. All representative suspect materials sampled were collected in accordance with EPA’s AHERA and “Guidance for Controlling Asbestos

Containing Materials in Buildings” (EPA 560/66-85-024, June 1985).

The sample location is sprayed with amended soapy water mixture when applicable. Then, a core sample of material was collected and properly stored, in a labeled airtight bag. The chain of custody form was completed for a bulk samples collected and subsequently delivered to

Triangle Environmental Services Center, Inc (a certified NVLAP laboratory) for analysis using

Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). Triangle Environmental Services Center, Inc utilizes the dispersion staining technique according the U. S. EPA method 600/M4-82/020 incorporating visual estimates of identified material percentages. This survey was to identify any of the six major types of asbestos, Chrysotile, Amosite, Crocidolite, Anthophylite, Tremolite, and

Actinolite in the materials sampled.

During the sampling activities, each suspect ACM was touched by the inspector to determine its friability and observed to determine the physical condition of the material. A

Friable Material is a material is defined as a material that can be crumbled, or reduced to a power by hand pressure. Friability of a material directly relates to a potential of the ACM to release airborne fibers. The inspector assessed the suspect ACM, according to its physical condition.

The results of this inspection may not be considered to be a product endorsement by

Environmental Services, LLC, NVLAP, or any agency of the U.S. Government.

Environmental Services, LLC recommends that the identified ACM should be either managed in place with an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan, or abated by a licensed contractor in accordance with all applicable local, State and Federal rules and regulations.

Should additional suspect materials not included in this survey be discovered during maintenance or renovation activities, Environmental Services, LLC recommends that samples of these materials be tested for asbestos content.

2.2 Asbestos Survey Findings

The analytical results of the bulk samples collected during the site survey, September 8, 2017 identified the following materials with concentrations of asbestos. Suspect materials with greater than 1% asbestos are considered to be an asbestos containing material by Mississippi

Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) and the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA). OSHA references worker protection guidelines for exposure to any amounts of asbestos, even below the >1% recognized by the EPA and State Regulators. Table 1 has the positive sample results of all samples collected.

During the survey, two (02) Homogeneous areas were found, with four (04) samples that were collected from the Site for laboratory analysis. The analytical results indicated that four

(04) samples detected concentrations of asbestos, from the referenced building above. The 3.0

Section entitled Data Summery covers locations of asbestos samples found.

2.3 Limitations

This survey was completed in accordance with Federal and State protocols for identifying the presence of asbestos-containing materials. Environmental Services, LLC or the inspector do not warrant that all asbestos containing materials have been located or identified during this inspection. Other areas of suspect ACM may be present in areas not visible or readily accessible to Environmental Services, LLC at the time of the survey. Additionally, prior renovation or repair activities may have altered building materials such that suspect ACM could not be properly identified by the inspector. Should additional suspect ACMs be identified, they should be assumed to contain asbestos and sampled for asbestos content.

The person or persons in charge of the facility should exercise care, any time a suspect material is to be disturbed, which has not been sampled or assumed to contain asbestos.

The liability of Environmental Services, LLC is limited to the amount paid by the client for this report. The client assumes all responsibility for the further distribution of this report and its contents. By making such distribution the client agrees to hold Environmental Services, LLC harmless against all claims of persons so informed of the contents hereof.

If an amount of ACM is listed in this report, it is an approximation based upon field observations and/or limited measurements. A Licensed Asbestos Management Planner prior to development of an O&M Plan should determine the actual quantity of ACM requiring management. Similarly, a Licensed Asbestos Consultant prior to initiation of abatement activities should verify the quantity of ACM requiring abatement.

The inspection date was September 8, 2017. Any changes occurring after this date can alter the data in this inspection report.

The window glazing interior and exterior in Building 02 greenhouse, contains asbestos and is in poor condition

Results of asbestos containing materials, taken from any location of the product may be considered the same for identical materials in other units.

3.2 Procedures for Renovation and Demolition

If renovation to the buildings' interior or exterior should occur and these actions directly affect the physical condition of any or all of the ACM’s, then abatement of these materials should be performed before such activities begin. If abatement (removal, repair, enclosure or encapsulation) actions should occur, the building owner or operator should comply with the following requirements:

a. Asbestos abatement actions should be performed by an accredited and licensed asbestos abatement contractor in a manner prescribed by the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regulation 40 CFR Parts 61.145, and

61.150 (November 20, 1990), the Mississippi Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Standard 29 CFR

1926.1101.

b. If reportable quantities of ACM’s are abated, the Mississippi Department of

Environmental Quality (MDEQ) should be notified of planned renovation, demolition, or asbestos abatement activities at least 10 working days prior to the scheduled start of these activities, as required by EPA 40 CFR Part

61.145(a) and (b)

3.2 Procedures for Renovation and Demolition, continued

c. All removed asbestos-containing waste material(s) should be transported and deposited at an EPA (MDEQ) approved landfill site, in accordance with EPA 40

CFR Part 61.150 (b)-(e). The disposal site shall be operated in accordance with EPA 40

CFR Part 61.154.

d. The Occupation Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) Right-to-

Know regulation requires the contractor to advise all workers of the presence of asbestos in the area in which they are working and to inform them of the nature of the hazard involved with exposure to asbestos.

Should any regulated or non regulated ACM be allowed to remain in these buildings, an

Operational and Maintenance (O&M) Plan should be developed so that administration and maintenance personnel can monitor the physical condition of the ACM.
