1.0 INTRODUCTION

in compliance with the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulation for asbestos (40 CFR 61, Subpart M). These services were conducted for the upcoming renovation of the on the 4th Floor of the Lake Nona V A

The is located in Orlando, Florida. The areas to be surveyed include the 4th s of carpet tile flooring, vinyl composite tile, gypsum wall board, and suspended ceilings. Lake Nona VA was constructed in 2015.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Based on the results of the Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) laboratory analysis, asbestos-containing materials (ACM) are not present in the areas surveyed.

4.0 ASBESTOS SURVEY

The Environmental Protection Agency defines asbestos-containing material (ACM) as any material or product that contains more than one percent (1%) asbestos. Based on the laboratory analysis of the samples collected, ACM does not exist within the scope of this survey.

4.1 Asbestos Survey Results

The table below summarizes the samples of suspect ACM collected from the site and describes the homogenous sampling area (HSA), sample ID, sample location, material description, quantity, condition, friability, and the laboratory analytical result. Please refer to the Appendices at the end of this report for photographs of the materials sampled and official laboratory analytical results.

LEGEND:

NAD = No Asbestos Detected

### = the material contains asbestos and requires compliance with NESHAP and OSHA

4.2 Asbestos Sampling Methods

Asbestos sampling was conducted in accordance with NESHAP (40 CFR 61, Subpart M) protocol for the commencement of demolition/renovation activities. The surveyor conducted a visual inspection of every safe and reasonably accessible room and space of the building. Materials sampled were grouped into Homogenous Sampling Areas (HSA) based on the texture, color, use, age, condition, and every other visual appearance to identify suspect ACM. Materials containing asbestos are grouped into the following categories:

Regulated ACM (RACM): Refers to friable manufactured ACM or a Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable; or a Category I Non- Friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading; or a Category II Non-Friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.

Category I Non-Friable ACM: Refers to asbestos containing packing, gaskets, resilient floor coverings (including mastics), and asphalt roofing products containing more than 1% asbestos.

Category II Non-Friable ACM: Refers to any material that is not a Category I Non-Friable ACM that contains greater than 1% asbestos.

Bulk samples of all friable and non-friable suspect ACM were collected, as well as a representative number of samples from each homogeneous area following the EPA's simplified random sampling method (EPA560/585-030a). Good Industrial Hygiene practices were followed when collecting bulk samples in order to minimize fiber release. Every precaution was taken to prevent asbestos exposure to the surveyor, the building occupants, and the public. All sample locations were logged with an appropriate description and the locations were marked on any available drawings. A unique sequential numbering system was used to identify each area. Each bulk sample was placed in a labeled bag, which was immediately marked with its sample number.

Strict Chain-of-Custody protocols were followed and signed by the receiving laboratory personnel who handled the samples. The samples were analyzed via PLM EPA-600 by an AIHA and NVLAP accredited laboratory.

4.3 Regulatory Requirements

Demolition: According to NESHAP, 40CFR61 Subpart M, demolition is defined as the wrecking or taking out of any load-supporting structural member of a facility together with any related handling operations or the intentional burning of any facility.

The final NESHAP Rule provides classification for regulated asbestos containing material as follows:

Friable Asbestos material;

Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable;

Category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading; or

Category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by forces expected to act upon the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.

If the total asbestos content is determined to be trace to 10%, the owner must either assume that the material contains greater than 1% asbestos and treat the material as regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) or have the material verified/quantified by point counting. If after point counting, the material is quantified as 1% or less, it is not regulated by the NESHAP. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) considers material that contains any amount of asbestos as asbestos-containing and requires compliance with OSHA regulations. The demolition of a structure with materials present that contain any amount of asbestos is considered by OSHA as an asbestos abatement, and all applicable OSHA rules must be complied with during the demolition.

Notification: Notification is required to the local regulatory agency:

1. Ten (10) working days prior to any demolition. Demolition means the removal of any load supporting structural member of the building.

2. Ten (10) working days prior to a renovation operation, if the amount of asbestos material removed or impacted is greater than 160 SF on all building components (i.e. floor tile, mastic, GWBS, etc.) or 260 LF on pipes.

3. One (1) day prior to demolition, if the building has been condemned and is structurally unsound as determined by the appropriate agency.

Notification must be sent by certified mail with return receipt or hand delivered to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The demolition contractor must wait ten (10) working days (Monday Friday) from the postmarked date of mailing or the date of hand delivery to commencement of demolition. Any change to the start date of the demolition requires notification to the agency by phone, followed by a written revision to the Notification Form.

4.4 Statutory Requirements

The regulatory agency responsible for the oversight of the rules pertaining to asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The federal regulations state that prior to demolition or renovation a facility survey must be conducted in accordance to section 40 CFR 61-M National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Asbestos NESHAP Revisions, Final Rule.

Enforcement of these rules was passed on to the states. In the State of Florida they are enforced by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Some counties have developed an enforcement division to carry out the responsibilities of the DEP and have developed environmental and asbestos ordinances with which may be more stringent than federal regulations, compliance with all local ordinance is also required.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the results of the PLM analysis, there are no asbestos containing materials (ACM) located in the scope of this survey. All debris may be disposed of as construction waste.

6.0 LIMITATIONS

The materials sampled in this survey were subject to accessibility. OHC warrants that the investigations and methodology reflect the prevailing standard of work practices in the environmental consulting field. If unforeseen materials are discovered during the renovation/demolition of the facility, work should stop and the material be presumed ACM until the material can be analyzed by an accredited asbestos building inspector.
