About this file
This is an asbestos analysis laboratory report documenting polarized light microscopy (PLM) testing results conducted by Jones Stohosky Environmental Laboratory, Inc. for West Point Engineers at Carl Vinson VA, 1826 Veterans Blvd, Dublin, GA. The analysis was performed on nine bulk material samples collected from various buildings (Buildings 2, 25, 26, 27, 29, 62, and C7) on April 22, 2026, under NVLAP accreditation (Lab Code 200872-0) with Project #557-21-103 and Batch #94337.
The testing identified asbestos content in two samples only: Sample #4 (Building 27 Roof) Layer 1 and Layer 3 each contained 15% chrysotile asbestos, while all other samples (including roof insulation, tar, flashing sealant, and tar patches from the remaining buildings) showed no detected asbestos. The report includes detailed layer-by-layer analysis describing binder/matrix composition, non-asbestos components (cellulose, fibrous glass, wood, plastic, foam), and quantification results. The analysis was approved by analyst Anitta Limpichart and confirms compliance with EPA methods 40 CFR Appendix E and EPA 600/R-93/116. The accompanying chain of custody form documents client contact information for West Point Engineers, project details, selected 1-day business day turnaround for PLM analysis, and receipt of samples on April 21, 2026 with results due April 22, 2026.

Analyst Name: Anitta Limpichart 4/22/2026Date:
JSE is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for bulk asbestos analysis by EPA -- 40 CFR Appendix E to Subpart E of Part 763, "Interim Method of the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples" and EPA 600/R-93/116: "Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials" for polarized light microscopy (PLM). These analysis results apply to the sample(s) as received. Asbestos content for an inhomogeneous sample is reported by layer when it is possible to subsample the discrete strata for individual analysis. Small diameter fibers may not be detected by this method. Information supplied by the customer does not affect the validity of PLM results obtained by the EPA 600/R-93/116 method. Customers will be informed (in comments section) if specific environmental or test conditions affect the interpretation of test results. All analysis results conform to the EPA 600/R-93/116, Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials. Quantification is performed using visual area estimation unless otherwise stated in the report. Qualitative and quantitative transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis may be recommended for difficult samples. Quantitative analysis by PLM point count or TEM is recommended for sample(s) testing at <=10% asbestos. Uncertainty values are as follows: Trace–<5.0%: ±250%; 5.0–<10%: ±150%; 10–<30%: ±100%; 30–<60%: ±50%;
60–100%: ±25%. Asbestos includes the following minerals: chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite. "Matrix" is defined as non-asbestos, non-binder fibrous and non-fibrous components. "Binder" is defined as a component added for cohesiveness. Non-asbestos sample constituents may not be definite. This report may not be used to claim product certification, approval or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST or any agency of the Federal Government. If the NVLAP logo does not appear on this report then "This report contains data not covered by the NVLAP accreditation." (NIST Handbook 150, 2006) Amended reports supersede all previous reports.
