6-07 Attachment 6.5. Asbestos Abatement Report - 606 Martin Luther King Jr Dr.pdf

This document is a Building Inspection Report for Asbestos-Containing Building Materials (ACBM) prepared by Austin Environmental, Inc. for the City of Temple, Texas, specifically for a Residential Structure Demolition Project located at 606 S. MLK Jr. Drive in Temple. The inspection was conducted on August 12, 2025, by Paul B. Dehlinger, a licensed Texas Department of State Health Services Individual Asbestos Consultant, to determine the presence and location of suspect friable and non-friable asbestos-containing building materials prior to structural demolition activities.

The report details the comprehensive inspection of twelve different building material samples, including exterior siding, drywall, fiber board, caulking, and wall textures. The laboratory analysis by Apex Precision Analytical Services, Inc. revealed that none of the samples tested contained asbestos. The inspection followed federal National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) requirements, which mandate inspection of commercial or public buildings for asbestos-containing materials before renovation or demolition. The report includes a requirement for a ten-working-day notification to the Texas Department of State Health Services prior to structural demolition and emphasizes that while a good-faith effort was made to locate asbestos-containing materials, extensive destructive inspection was not conducted due to potential exposure hazards and regulatory considerations.
