Dear Mr. Carroll:

Samples A63401 through A63406 have been analyzed by visual estimation based on the Interim Method of the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples, EPA -- 40 CFR

Appendix E to Subpart E of Part 763, with guidance from EPA 600/R-93/116: Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials as well as the EPA-600/M4-82-20 and OSHA

ID-191 methods. Appendix "A" contains statements which an accredited laboratory must make to meet the requirements of accrediting agencies. It also contains additional information about the method of analysis. Appendix "A" must be included as an essential part of this test report. This analysis is accredited under NVLAP Lab Code: 101012-0. It does not contain data or calibrations for tests performed under AIHA-LAP LLC Lab Code: 101579.

This report may be reproduced but all reproduction must be in full unless written approval is received from the laboratory for partial reproduction. The results of analysis are as follows:

Lab A63401, Field SAMPLE #1 Rubber Roof Membrane (Thin)

This is black rubber membrane with a trace of black tar and plant fiber on one side. Asbestos is none detected.

Lab A63402, Field SAMPLE #2 Rubber Roof Membrane (Thicker)

This is black rubber membrane. Asbestos is none detected.

Batch # 192096 Lab # A63401 - A63406

Lab A63403, Field SAMPLE #3 Test the Black Material This sample contains three types of material: The first type is 80% plant fiber and 10% fiberglass in black paper with binder; the second type is yellow foam plastic; the third type is 50% plant fiber in black tar felt. This sample is non-homogeneous. Asbestos is none detected.

The first type is 15% of the sample. The second type is 80% of the sample. The third type is 5% of the sample.

Lab A63404, Field SAMPLE #4 Test the Black Material This sample contains two types of material: The first type is 50% plant fiber in black tar felt layers;

the second type is yellow foam plastic. This sample is non-homogeneous. Asbestos is none detected.

The first type is 50% of the sample. The second type is 50% of the sample.

Lab A63405, Field SAMPLE #5 Tar with Rocks

This sample contains five types of material: The first type is pea gravel; the second type is 50% plant fiber in black tar felt layers; the third type is black tar layer; the fourth type is 5% fiberglass in black tar layers; the fifth type is yellow foam plastic. This sample is non-homogeneous. Asbestos is none detected.

The first type is 10% of the sample. The second type is 30% of the sample. The third type is 40% of the sample. The fourth type is 15% of the sample. The fifth type is 5% of the sample.

Lab A63406, Field SAMPLE #6 Test the Insulation This sample contains two types of material: The first type is 80% plant fiber and 10% fiberglass in black tar layers; the second type is yellow foam plastic. This sample is non-homogeneous. Asbestos is none detected.

The first type is 10% of the sample. The second type is 90% of the sample.

In order to be sure reagents and tools used for analysis are not contaminated with asbestos, blanks are tested. Asbestos was none detected in the blanks tested with this bulk sample set.

Very truly yours, Steve H. Dixon, President

APPENDIX "A"

"This report relates only to the items tested. This report must not be used to claim product certification, approval or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, AIHA-LAP LLC, or any agency of the US government."

NVLAP and AIHA-LAP LLC require laboratories to state the condition of the samples received for testing. The condition of these samples is acceptable for analysis unless there is a characteristic indicating otherwise. If a test item is not acceptable, requires a modification to the standard method, or has cause for analysis sensitivity, it will be identified by a note for that particular test item under the laboratory number on the final report. If the samples are non-homogenous, a statement will be included with the sample result. Each component or sub-sample is analyzed separately. The reported results and percentages of each material type are based on the sample received by the laboratory and may not be representative of the parent material. Orientation of top and bottom may not be specified due to uncertainty of orientation.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS AND LIMIT OF DETECTION

For air count analysis, samples are not blank corrected unless otherwise noted.

For air count analysis, the results may be biased when interferences are noted.

The accuracy of asbestos analysis in bulk samples increases with increasing concentration of asbestos. Pigments, binders, small sample size, and multiple layers may affect the analysis sensitivity.

There are two methods for analysis of asbestos in a bulk test sample: Visual Estimation and Point Count. Visual estimation with gravimetry is the most sensitive method. If an analyst makes a patient search, 0.1% or less asbestos can be detected in a bulk sample. Point count analysis is a method with a statistical approach.

Government agencies regulate asbestos containing materials (ACM) whenever the ACM is more than 1%. EPA will not accept visual estimation to verify that trace amounts of asbestos are less than 1%. EPA requires point count to verify less than 1% asbestos content. OSHA requirements apply on samples containing any amount of asbestos.

Due to higher charge for a point count analysis, Dixon Information Inc. does not perform a point count unless authorized to do so by the customer. If a sample is point counted, when possible, various chemical and/or physical means may be used to concentrate the asbestos in the sample. This is permitted by the EPA method and it increases the accuracy of the analysis.
