This is a Building Inspection Report for asbestos inspection and assessment conducted at the Plains-Thompson Falls Ranger District, Lolo National Forest, prepared by JGA (Architects Engineers Planners) and completed in November 1990. The inspection was performed in accordance with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) regulations outlined in 40 CFR Part 763 and EPA requirements, with the work order completed under Work Order No. 12.

The report documents a comprehensive inspection of 30 buildings across two facility complexes: Plains Ranger Station (15 buildings) and Thompson Falls Work Center (15 buildings). The inspection identified suspect asbestos-containing materials in the form of ceiling tile, pipe insulation, wall and ceiling textures, flooring materials, and miscellaneous materials. Bulk samples of suspect materials were collected using AHERA-accredited sampling procedures and analyzed by EPA-accredited laboratories using polarized light microscopic techniques. Materials were classified into seven assessment categories ranging from damaged thermal system materials to remaining friable materials. The report includes detailed room-by-room inventory sheets, sample analysis data, area assessment reports, laboratory technical reports, sample locations on floor plans, and photographs. The inspection was performed by Randy Kujat, an Accredited Building Inspector (Certificate No. MT A0069, State of Montana), and certified to comply with all USFS requirements as a technical resource document for developing the Asbestos Management Plan and Abatement Design.
