This is an asbestos inspection report by Austin Environmental, Inc. for the City of Temple, Texas, focusing on the former Cedar Creek Lodge located at 602 S. MLK Jr. Drive in Temple. The inspection was conducted on August 12, 2025, to identify and assess asbestos-containing building materials (ACBM) prior to the building's demolition. The scope of work included field investigation, visual observations, defining homogeneous areas, sampling suspect materials, and analyzing samples using Polarized Light Microscopy with Dispersion Staining (PLM/DS) EPA Method.

The laboratory analysis confirmed the presence of asbestos in the drywall texture behind wall paneling, specifically 2% chrysotile asbestos at 1.25% by point count. The estimated asbestos abatement cost is $14,970.00, with additional consulting services totaling $3,550.00. The report includes requirements for proper removal by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor, a ten-day notification to the Texas Department of State Health Services, and adherence to engineering controls and respiratory protection protocols. The total estimated project cost, including demolition and post-abatement, is $11,760.25, with an additional $300 in potential asbestos fees assessed by the state.
