Scranton Office of Economic and Community Development 340 North Washington Avenue (Municipal Building), I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

An Asbestos Containing Materials Inspection was conducted on April 20th, 2026 within the planned demolition site located at 905 Ridge Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the inspection was to determine if asbestos containing materials exist within the structure.

Mr. William Sterling (PA Asbestos Inspector #057069) of Quad Three Group, Inc.

conducted the inspection in conjunction with demolition scheduled at the structure.

As part of this asbestos inspection, the quantities and conditions of asbestos containing materials were identified. A total of five (5) bulk material samples were collected and analyzed.

Asbestos containing materials (ACM) were not identified on the accessible areas of the structure located at 905 Ridge Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania

Materials that were non-suspect or were sampled and through analysis found to not contain asbestos include interior plaster / debris. Descriptions of all the material samples collected can be found in Appendix A.

If materials that were not sampled are identified and to be disturbed during future demolition, additional testing will be required to determine the asbestos content of those materials.

The conclusions presented in this report are the result of the coalition, compilation and analysis of samples and other information obtained during the inspection. The results presented in this report represent the conditions present at the time of the inspection. Quad Three Group has no control over conditions or events that occurred following the date of inspection.

II. INTRODUCTION

On April 20 th, 2026, a limited asbestos inspection was performed within 905 Ridge Avenue, Scranton, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the inspection was to visually locate, identify and quantify asbestos containing materials (ACM) as they exist within the structure scheduled for demolition. The survey / inspection process included:

A. Inspecting the area to identify representative “suspected” asbestos-containing materials, types and sampling sites.

B. Collecting representative samples from any suspect material in order to identify all

Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM). Examples of these materials include Pipe insulation, plaster, sheet-rock, floor tiles, linoleum, etc.

1.

C. Sampling was performed by experienced, licensed personnel utilizing semi -destructive sampling techniques in an attempt to locate asbestos containing materials.

D. Laboratory analysis of the materials sampled was performed at an accredited laboratory using the EPA recommended method of polarized light microscopy (PLM) for friable samples.

III. SURVEY AREA DISCUSSION

The property was comprised of a multiple story structure at 905 Ridge Avenue. Access to the interior of the structure was limited at the time of the inspection due to structural concerns caused by the collapsing roofs, debris / brush blocking safe entrances and exits to the structure, and locked / chained doors. The Inspection was limited to the accessible areas of the structure. Major structural components include concrete, brick, stone, block, and wood.

IV. MATERIALS SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGY

The building inspection was conducted by an inspector, qualified by experience, education and training in the recognition of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM). An initial walk through was conducted to identify suspect asbestos containing materials and to group them into homogeneous sampling areas.

Following the walkthrough, the number of samples required to determine the presence of ACM in the study areas was determined. Sample collection was performed with the intent to identify and locate asbestos containing materials and to group them into homogeneous material categories. This grouping allowed the inspectors to identify like materials within the facility to avoid over sampling or mischaracterization of an asbestos containing material.

The majority of the ACM samples were located utilizing non-destructive techniques. Some areas of ACM may still exist in areas that could not be accessed until complete interior demolition is completed.

Representative samples of each “suspect asbestos containing material” were collected utilizing approved federal and state methods. When samples were collected, the locations were noted. Measurements were taken to determine the approximate quantity of suspect material. The condition of the material was also documented at that time.

All material samples were analyzed via Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) as per EPA/600R- 93-116, July 1993.

The analytical results and locations for all samples collected can be found in Appendix A.

The samples were analyzed by EMSL Analytical Inc. of Cinnaminson New Jersey. EMSL is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s “National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program” NVLAP, and has developed and implemented an intra laboratory quality assurance/quality control program to ensure accuracy and consistency of results.

2.

Asbestos is present if the material analyzed is greater than one percent (>1.0%) by weight.

This stipulation is outlined in the EPA Publication EPA 500/5-85-024, Section 2.2.2.2.

V. INSPECTION FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Asbestos containing materials have not been identified on the accessible areas of the structure.

Asbestos containing materials are categorized as containing asbestos concentrations greater than one percent (>1.0%) by weight. Asbestos fiber concentrations less than one percent (<1.0%) by weight are still regulated under OSHA standard 1926.1101.

Below are the results of the building inspection. The results indicate the sample location, sample numbers, material and condition. Some of the materials were homogenized for sampling purposes. For example, once a homogeneous material was sampled, the sample result could be considered representative for that material throughout the residence. If one sample of a homogeneous material tested positive for asbestos, then the entire homogeneous material was classified as asbestos containing in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency Guidelines.

The conditions of the materials are designated as good, damaged or significantly damaged.

The following materials were found to contain more than one percent (>1.0%) asbestos by weight:

ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS WERE NOT IDENTIFIED ON THE ACCESSIBLE

AREAS OF THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 905 RIDGE AVENUE, SCRANTON, PA.

Analytical results for the materials sampled are located in Appendix A.

Friable materials are materials that can be crushed by applying hand pressure. Non-friable materials are materials that typically cannot be crushed by hand pressure (floor tiles/mastics). If grinding or pulverization were to occur during demolition, non-friable materials can be rendered friable.

Asbestos containing materials (friable and non-friable) located on the interior / exterior of a building, which will be disturbed during renovations / demolition, must be removed and disposed of by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor.

VI. ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIAL ABATEMENT COSTS

As part of this report, cost estimates have been provided to help assist the Scranton Office of Economic and Community Development to evaluate the costs associated with a renovation or demolition project. The cost estimates have been arrived at independently and have been inserted in this report solely for the use of the Scranton Office of Economic and Community Development. The following estimate has been prepared for budgetary purposes. All measurements are approximate. Contractors should independently verify the quantities of materials when preparing a cost estimate for removal.

The following applies:

Samples are within quality control criteria and met method specifications unless otherwise noted. The above analyses were performed in general compliance with Appendix E to Subpart E of 40 CFR (previously EPA 600/M4-82-020 “Interim Method”) but augmented with procedures outlined in the 1993 (”final”) version of the method. This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST or any agency of the federal government. Non-friable organically bound materials present a problem matrix and therefore EMSL recommends gravimetric reduction prior to analysis. Unless requested by the client, building materials manufactured with multiple layers (i.e. linoleum, wallboard, etc.) are reported as a single sample. Estimation of uncertainty is available on request.

The test report shall not be reproduced except in full, without written approval of the laboratory. The report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the federal government. The Company reserves the right to dispose of all samples after a period of thirty (30) days, according to all state and federal guidelines, unless otherwise specified.

Inhomogeneous samples are separated into homogeneous subsamples and analyzed individually. ND means no fibers of that type were detected.

When detected, the minimum detection and reporting limit is less than 1% unless point counting is performed. Floor tile samples may contain large amounts of interference material and it is recommended that the sample be analyzed by gravimetric point count analysis to lower the detection limit and to aid in asbestos identification.
