1.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES

B2 Environmental, Inc. (B2E) performed a United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), (40 CFR, Part

61) asbestos inspection of twelve (12) storage bunkers located at Road 314 & Road G near Clay Center, Nebraska.

B2E provided a representative asbestos inspection at the identified building in general accordance with the referenced agreement and as outlined below:

1. Review existing asbestos reports relating to the site, if available.

2. Survey the site building(s), or site component(s).

3. Identify accessible suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in general accordance with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and National Emissions for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), (40 CFR, Part 61).

4. Collect and analyze bulk samples of suspect materials.

5. Quantify any asbestos containing materials and record location.

2.0 GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS

B2E completed the inspection of twelve (12) storage bunkers located at Road 314 & Road G near Clay Center, Nebraska. No previous asbestos reports or construction drawings were provided to B2E prior to the inspection.

3.0 ASBESTOS SURVEY REPORT

On February 7, 2023, B2E inspector Kevin Callahan and Rod Schall inspected the site for asbestos-containing building materials. Mr. Callahan has completed the requisite training for asbestos accreditation as an inspector at a state approved training provider under Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Title II. Mr. Callahan s State of Nebraska asbestos inspector number is 1256. Mr. Schall has completed the requisite training for asbestos accreditation as an inspector at a state approved training provider under Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Title II. Mr. Schall s State of Nebraska asbestos inspector number is 1190.

B2E visually inspected the site for the presence of suspect ACM. Materials that were hidden, not accessible (i.e. boilers, areas of safety concern), or when sampled would damage the integrity of the structure or component (i.e. electrical wiring), were not sampled as part of this inspection. B2E did not sample materials that were visibly identified as non-asbestos (fibrous glass, foam rubber, wood, etc.). The asbestos inspection consisted of three steps: 1) a visual inspection of the site(s);

2) a determination of homogeneous areas with suspect surfacing, thermal system insulation, and miscellaneous materials; and 3) sampling accessible, friable, and non-friable, suspect materials.

Friable materials are materials that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Non-friable materials are materials that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Non-friable materials, when subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, may become friable.

3.1 Homogeneous Areas

Prior to sampling, B2E identified homogeneous areas to facilitate a sampling strategy. A homogeneous sampling area is described as one or more areas with suspect material similar in appearance and texture that have the same installation date and function. The actual number of samples collected from each homogeneous sampling area varies, dependent upon material type and the professional judgment of the inspector.

3.2 Sampling Strategy

sampling strategy incorporated Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) identification of suspect ACM. sampling strategy was to identify and collect accessible suspect ACM in general accordance with the USEPA NESHAP, (40 CFR, Part 61). If the analytical results indicated that all the samples collected per homogeneous area did not contain asbestos, then the homogeneous area (material) was considered non-asbestos containing.

However, if the analytical results of one or more of the samples collected per homogeneous area indicated that asbestos was present in quantities greater than one percent asbestos (as defined by USEPA), all of the homogeneous area (material) was treated as an asbestos-containing material regardless of other analytical results. B2E did not sample materials that the accredited inspector visually determined to be non-asbestos (i.e. fibrous glass, foam rubber, etc.). Actual collection of a bulk asbestos sample involves physically removing approximately one square inch (1 in2) of the material and placing it in an airtight sample container marked with a unique identification number.

3.4 Laboratory Analytical Results

EMSL Analytical, Inc. located at 200 Route 130 in Cinnaminson, New Jersey analyzed the bulk samples using polarized light microscopy (PLM). PLM analysis utilizes dispersion staining techniques (ref.: USEPA Method 600/R-93/116) to determine the asbestos content of the bulk samples collected at the site. This laboratory is currently recognized by the United States Depar National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for conformance with criteria set forth in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 150:2016 and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Guide 17025:2005. NVLAP accredits testing and calibration laboratories that are found competent to perform specific tests or calibrations, or types of tests or calibrations. NIST Handbook 150:2016 sets forth the basic procedures under which NVLAP operates, and the general accreditation requirements that testing and calibration laboratories must meet if they wish to demonstrate that they operate a quality system, are technically competent, and are able to generate technically valid results.

CONTENT

Asbestos Containing Materials were not detected.

sf = Square Feet, ND = Non Detect, NA = Not Applicable, lf = Linear Feet, mf = Mechanical Fittings

(1) Friability is based only on conditions that were observed during B2E's inspection of the site.

(2)Actual quantities should be field verified.

Any material that contains greater than one percent asbestos is considered an ACM and is categorized as either friable ACM or non-friable ACM. Friable ACM is categorized as regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM). There are two categories of non-friable materials:

Category I non-friable ACM and Category II non-friable ACM.

Category I non-friable ACM is any asbestos-containing packing, gasket, resilient floor covering or asphalt roofing product which contains more than one percent asbestos.

Category II non-friable ACM is any material, excluding Category I non-friable ACM, containing more than one percent asbestos.

Details of sample analysis are included in Appendix A, which contains a listing of all analyzed samples, sample locations, and analytical results relating to the site. Asbestos analytical results are reported as percentage and type. Other common non-asbestos components may also be noted in the analytical report.

Building materials containing any detectable amounts of asbestos are regulated by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and applicable work practices and prohibitions must be followed accordingly.

State and local requirements may differ from NESHAP requirements. Consult with appropriate agencies prior to commencing abatement and/or demolition activities.
