Project: Pre-Renovation Asbestos Inspection

Site Address: United States Coast Guard Station – Building A

2501 Canal Road

Sturgeon Bay, WI 54235

Project No. AA2448

Inspection Date: 07/26/2024

Inspector: Joe Botters Certification No. AI-15666

Asbestos Company: Airtite Environmental Services LLC Certification No. CAP-2189440

Airtite Environmental Services LLC (AES), certified under Wisconsin Administrative Code HFS 159 as a

Primary Asbestos Company (CAP-2189440) was retained by Ryan Sargent, representing the United States

Coast Guard to complete a pre-renovation inspection for asbestos containing materials (ACM) in the men’s and women’s head (restroom) only on the 1st floor of Building A at the subject property. Bulk building material samples of suspect ACM were collected 7/26/24 by Josef L. Botters, State of Wisconsin Asbestos

Inspector AII-15666. A copy of personal certification is included in Appendix A. Bulk samples were submitted to TEM a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) laboratory for analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) for asbestos fiber content.

1.1_SITE LOCATION & DESCRIPTION

Property location for this survey is described as follows: 2501 Canal Road located in Door County in the

Town of Sturgeon Bay. This property contains multiple structures, with the only areas assessed in this inspection being the men’s and women’s head (restroom) of the 1st floor of Building A.*Photos of the property can be viewed in Appendix B

2.0 ASBESTOS ASSESSMENT

Airtite Environmental Services LLC completed a walk through inspection throughout the open, safe and accessible areas inside and outside of the structures. Bulk samples of suspect ACM were collected from representative areas and sent to an NVLAP accredited laboratory for analysis. A small piece of each suspect ACM was collected and placed in an individually labeled and sealed sample bag. Location and sample info was recorded accordingly. (Refer to Appendix C. This structure contained homogenous materials (i.e. Caulks, baseboard adhesive, etc..) where a sample was taken to represent all such like materials in the structure. Any areas documented as “Assumed“ to contain asbestos are labeled as such in this report due to the experience and discretion of the inspector. Inaccessible suspect material may be hidden behind walls, ceilings and in chases. If any additional suspect material is discovered during the course of demolition/remodel activities, cease activity immediately and have a licensed asbestos inspector sample and analyze the additional suspect material.

2.1 ASBESTOS SAMPLE ANALYSIS

The scope of services consisted of completing an asbestos building survey that includes the identification, collection and analysis of suspected ACM. Analysis of bulk samples follows Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA) Method 600/R-93-116 utilizing polarized light microscopy (PLM) techniques where the reportable limit for bulk asbestos fiber concentration is 1% or greater.

Asbestos materials are grouped into three major types:

Thermal System Insulation: Includes insulating materials on pipes, pipe fitting (valves, tees, etc…), tanks, boiler jacketing, flue and stack insulation, turbine jackets and similar applications.

Surface Materials: Can include spray or trowel applied fireproofing and acoustical finishes.

Miscellaneous Materials: Can include items such as gasket materials, vinyl asbestos floor tile, ceiling tile, adhesive, mastics, small amounts of packing / caulking material and roof shingles

Proper management of ACM depends on whether the material is friable or non-friable; if non-friable whether

Category I or II; and if Category I, whether it is a construction and demolition material. Non-friable materials may become friable during grinding, cutting, burning, crushing and similar operation, including some types of building demolition which may generate and release asbestos fibers in dust.

Asbestos Category groupings are as follows:

“Friable ACM” is defined as “any material containing greater than 1% asbestos that can be crumbled to a powder by hand pressure.” Common types of friable ACM include pipe insulation and sprayed on or tiled sound insulation materials. Friable ACM has little structural strength and contains asbestos fibers which are easily released upon breaking.

All Friable materials testing 1% or > for asbestos must be removed prior to demolition.

“Category I Non-Friable ACM” is defined as “packing, gaskets, resilient floor covering and asphalt roofing containing asbestos that cannot be crumbled to powder by hand pressure.” Category 1 ACM is pliable, (not brittle) breaks by tearing rather than fracturing and does not easily release fibers upon breaking.

Cat 1 Non-Friable materials may remain during demolition as long as the materials are in good condition and remain in good condition during demolition. This category of materials would have to be removed if they are on a surface that is going to be recycled or the possibility of being crushed or pulverized during demolition activities.

“Category II Non-Friable ACM” is defined as “any material, excluding a category I non-friable ACM containing asbestos that cannot be crumbled to powder by hand pressure. “Category II ACM is not pliable, breaks by fracturing rather than tearing and does release some asbestos fibers upon breaking.

All Category II must be removed prior to demolition.

2.2 ASBESTOS SAMPLE RESULTS

The following building materials were identified as suspect ACM and representative samples were taken or assumed to contain asbestos:

Drywall Joint Compound Ceiling Tile Caulks / Adhesive

Mortar Tile Baseboard Floor Tile

*Results showed that in none of the materials tested contain asbestos.

3.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

-The property owner should make available to any applicable personnel the Pre-Renovation Asbestos

Survey. Subcontractors and employees working in / around the structure should be made aware of the locations of ACM and the possibility of concealed ACM that could be discovered during renovation activities.

-If additional building materials are discovered during the renovation process such materials should be assumed to be an ACM until tested to be proven otherwise.

-The State of Wisconsin Department of Health & Family Services (DHFS) requires properly trained and certified asbestos supervisors / workers to conduct the asbestos removal process if any ACM is present. A certified asbestos abatement contractor must remove all of the required ACM’s from building(s) / structure(s) prior to demolition/renovation if ACM material is being disturbed.

-Should the scope of renovations change or untested building materials be discovered, work should cease until Airtite is able to provide confirmation testing of such materials.

-A Notification of Demolition and/or Renovation (form 4500-113) is not required to be filed with the

State of Wisconsin Dept. of Natural Resources (WDNR) as the amount of asbestos requiring abatement is under the quantity limit.

4.0 LIMITATIONS

No warranty is implied or intended with this report. No environmental site assessment can eliminate all uncertainty. Inspection was limited to open, safe and accessible areas inside and outside of the structure.

Inaccessible suspect material may be hidden behind walls, ceilings and in chases. The quantity of samples, sample locations and analysis performed were chosen to provide analytical data to assess current site conditions. The samples were collected from homogeneous material areas and no guarantee is given that the assumed homogeneous area and the sample analysis are consistent throughout the building. Any discussions and/or recommendations in this report represent the professional opinion of Airtite

Environmental Services LLC. These opinions are based in accordance with current industry guidelines, regulations and practices. All asbestos inspection services comply with State and Federal Regulatory agencies governing our work practices. All persons performing asbestos related activities are certified by the State of Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS).
