About this file

This is a Limited Asbestos Inspection and Lead-Based Paint Survey prepared by Hill West Environmental for the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services (DABS) Liquor Store #50 located at 579 Lagoon Drive, Farmington, Utah 84025. The survey was conducted on April 16 and May 11, 2026, at the request of the State of Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead-based paint requiring remediation prior to exterior wall replacement renovation. The inspection was limited in scope to only those areas impacted by the planned renovation project, specifically the exterior wall panels. Hill West Environmental used direct measurement sampling and X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis with a detection limit of 0.1 to 0.3 mg/cm² to assess both friable and non-friable asbestos and lead contamination.

The survey results indicate no asbestos-containing materials were identified within the project areas, and lead was not detected within any building components in the upgrade area. All coatings tested were in good to fair condition. The report establishes that if contractors discover additional suspect building materials during renovation that were not sampled in this inspection, they must cease work and notify DFCM for additional sampling. No universal, hazardous, or toxic wastes will be impacted during the renovation project. The construction cost estimate for the facade replacement project is $600,000, and only contractors prequalified under the DFCM Stage I Prequalification process are eligible to bid on this Stage II Invitation to Bid.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On April 16 and May 11, 2026, Hill West Environmental conducted a limited pre-renovation inspection for asbestos and lead-based paint of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services (DABS) Liquor Store #50 located at 579 Lagoon Drive, Farmington, Utah 84025. The project includes replacement of the exterior siding.

Ms. Aubrey Stapel, Project Manager with the State of Utah, Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM) requested this inspection to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and building components with lead-based paint that need to be addressed before the building is renovated.

The suspect materials sampled during the survey included the exterior wall panels of the building. Areas in which renovations are to occur were inspected, and all other areas were not inspected as part of this survey.

Hill West has identified the following asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead-based paint during this inspection:

1.0 INTRODUCTION

As per DFCM’s instructions, Hill West Environmental conducted a limited asbestos and lead-based paint inspection of the DABS Liquor Store #50 located at 579 Lagoon Drive, Farmington, Utah 84025. Due to the remodel and upgrades to the exterior wall replacement, Hill West was instructed to only inspect areas that will be impacted during the renovation project.

The purpose of this survey was to identify the existence, extent, and condition of both friable and non-friable asbestos-containing materials (ACM) and lead-based paint/lead materials within the renovation areas.

2.0 SITE VISIT /OBSERVATIONS

2.1 Asbestos Inspection

On April 16, 2026, Hill West Environmental visited the site to survey the renovation areas of the building. A complete asbestos inspection of the areas that will be impacted during renovations was made to determine conditions and develop a sampling scheme for the areas. The materials that will be impacted during this upgrade project include exterior wall panels. Table 1 summarizes the asbestos inspection results.

2.2 Lead-based Paint Inspection

On May 11, 2026, Hill West Environmental conducted a limited lead-based paint inspection of the Utah liquor store – store #50 within the project work area. Direct measurement of lead in paint/dust were made using a Niton XL2 X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrum Analyzer. The Niton XRF non-destructively measures lead concentrations of painted surfaces, regardless of the number of layers present.

According to the manufacturer, the detection limit (lower limit of reliable measurement) for this instrument is 0.1 milligrams per square centimeter (mg/cm2) ±0.3 mg/cm2 with the instrument set on the “quick” measuring mode.

The quick mode provides 95% confidence that the lead concentration in the paint is above or below the set point of the instrument which, for this survey is 0.4 mg/cm2. For this survey, measurements below 0.4 mg/cm2 were not reported as lead containing.

The Niton XRF sometimes reports negative values. According to the manufacturer, negative values should be expected and interpreted as zero lead content due to the statistical variability of XRF measurement technology. Both HUD and the EPA recognize the statistical variability of XRF technology and the possibility of obtaining negative values where the lead content is near zero.

Table 2 summarizes the lead-based paint inspection results. Measurements are reported in milligrams of lead per square centimeter (mg/cm2). All the coatings tested during this inspection were in good to fair condition. Only positive readings (>0.4 mg/cm2) are summarized in Table 2. Appendix B contains all XRF readings for this survey.

4.0 DISCUSSION/CONCLUSTIONS

In Utah, EPA asbestos regulations are administered by the Utah Division of Air Quality. Utah Occupational Safety and Health Administration (UOSHA) has adopted the Federal OSHA regulations. In addition, the Salt Lake Valley Health Department (SLVHD) regulates demolition activities in Salt Lake County. The SLVHD regulations for pre-demolition building inspections require an asbestos inspection, but also required building owners to inspect the building for other hazardous materials such as universal wastes, hazardous and toxic wastes and lead-based paint. Similar to asbestos, these wastes, if present must be removed prior to demolition/renovation.

A copy of this report should be on-site during all renovation activities.

This limited asbestos and lead-based paint inspection was conducted on the project area that will be impacted during renovation activities. Only items that are believed to be impacted during renovation activities were inspected during this survey. This survey is not intended to represent an exhaustive research of all asbestos or other hazards or conditions which may exist within other buildings located at this project site.

This report does not purport to represent future indoor conditions or events.

Situations or activities which transpire subsequent to this report, which result in adverse environmental, construction and/or engineering impacts, are not to be construed as relevant to this study.

This report is intended for the sole use of Hill West's client. This report may not be used or relied upon by any other party without the written consent of Hill West.

The scope of services performed in execution of the evaluation may not be appropriate to satisfy the needs of other users, and the use or re-use of this document or the findings, conclusions, or recommendations is at the risk of said user.

Dear Mr. Dahlk:

Samples HW6502 through HW6508 have been analyzed using the qualitative analysis of bulk samples by polarized light microscopy (PLM), and the quantitation of asbestos content by calibrated visual estimate (CVE) based on EPA -- 40 CFR Appendix E to Subpart E of Part 763 (EPA 600/M4-

82-020), 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, as well as guidance from the OSHA ID-191 method. 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.

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, or any U.S. government agency.

NVLAP and AIHA LAP require laboratories to report the condition of samples received for testing. The condition of these samples is considered acceptable for analysis unless otherwise noted. If a test item is unacceptable for analysis, requires a modification to the standard method, or has limited analysis sensitivity, this will be noted under the laboratory number for that specific test item in the final report. If the samples are non-homogeneous, 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. Because the sample’s orientation cannot always be determined, specifying top and bottom may not be possible.

METHODS OF ANALYSIS AND LIMIT OF DETECTION

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

For air count analysis, results may be biased if interferences are present.

The accuracy of the Qualitative Analysis of Bulk Samples by Polarized Light Microscopy

(PLM) improves as asbestos concentration increases. However factors such as inhomogeneities, coatings, small fibers, interfering compounds, pigments, binders, small sample sizes, and multiple layers, may limit this analysis.

There are two methods for the Quantitation of Asbestos in Bulk Samples: Calibrated Visual

Estimate (CVE) and Point Count. CVE analysis with gravimetry is the most sensitive method.

With a patient search, an analyst can detect asbestos at concentrations of 0.1% or lower in a bulk sample. Point Count analysis, on the other hand, uses a statistical approach.

Regulatory agencies classify materials as Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) when asbestos content is greater than 1%. The EPA does not accept CVE to verify that trace amounts of asbestos are less than 1%. The EPA requires Point Count to verify that asbestos content is not greater than 1%. OSHA regulations apply to samples containing any amount of asbestos.

Due to the higher cost of Point Count analysis, Dixon Information, Inc. does not perform this analysis unless authorized by the client. When possible, a Point Count analysis includes various chemical and/or physical means to gravimetrically concentrate the asbestos in the sample.

The EPA allows this as it increases the accuracy of the Point Count.
