About this file

This is an Asbestos Survey Report prepared by H&H Environmental, LLC for the City of Columbus Department of Development regarding a structure located at 940-952 E. Whittier Street, Columbus, Ohio 43206. The inspection was conducted on May 28, 2026, by certified asbestos inspectors Tyler Rister (Certification #35958) and Jace Hurt (Certification #36450), in accordance with EPA NESHAP, OSHA regulations, and Ohio State asbestos regulations. The survey involved a comprehensive physical inspection of all accessible areas of the building, organized by functional space and homogeneous area, to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACM). Seven bulk samples of suspected ACM were collected and submitted to McCall and Spero Environmental, Inc. for laboratory analysis using Polarized Light Microscopy. The inspection included accessible interior and exterior areas, with inaccessible materials such as those within wall cavities or electrical wiring excluded from the scope.

The laboratory analysis identified one sample containing asbestos: TSI Heat Board with 7% Chrysotile asbestos, totaling approximately 7 square feet across three sections located in Room 1 near the ceiling at wall D. The remaining six samples tested negative for asbestos content. The report notes that while the material contains less than 1% asbestos under current Ohio EPA standards and therefore would not be classified as "asbestos-containing material," it remains regulated under OSHA regulations and must be handled, cleaned up, and disposed of according to 29 CFR 1926 requirements. H&H Environmental recommends abatement of the TSI Heat Board material to ensure OSHA compliance. The report specifies that an Ohio EPA Notification of Demolition and Renovation form must be submitted at least ten working days prior to any abatement or demolition activity, and any additional suspect materials encountered during demolition should remain undisturbed pending inspection by a licensed Asbestos Abatement Evaluation Specialist, with H&H Environmental available for follow-up inspections if needed.

Asbestos Survey: 940-952 E. Whittier St.; Columbus OH 43206

Jake, H&H Environmental, LLC. has completed an inspection for asbestos-containing materials (ACM) at 940-952 E. Whittier St.; Columbus OH 43206. This inspection was performed by Tyler Rister (Certification # 35958) and Jace Hurt (Certification #36450) on May 28th in Columbus, OH. Tyler Rister and Jace Hurt maintain a current Ohio EPA Asbestos Inspector Certification. Proof of this certification is attached.

Purpose of Inspection:

The ACM inspection was conducted in accordance and observation of EPA NESHAP and OSHA regulations pertaining to the demolition/renovation of regulated structures. This inspection included all applicable and accessible areas of the structure.

Procedure:

The inspection, conducted on 5-28-26, was completed utilizing applicable Federal and Ohio State regulations pertaining to asbestos: Federal OSHA (29 CFR 1910.1001and 29 CFR 1926.1101), EPA (40 CFR Part 61), and TSCA Title II AHERA/ASHARA (40 CFR Part 763) Asbestos Regulations. The findings in this report are consistent with accepted principles and practice established and prescribed by the EPA and AHERA.

All accessible areas of the building in Columbus, OH were inspected physically, functional space by functional space, and homogeneous area by homogeneous area to determine the presence of asbestos-containing materials. Suspected asbestos-containing materials were grouped per homogeneous area. Suspect materials that may be present inside wall cavities, electrical wiring or which were otherwise inaccessible were not included in the scope of this inspection. Core samples of friable and non-friable suspect asbestos-containing materials were collected to be analyzed for asbestos content. Those materials considered to be non-suspect (concrete, wood, fiberglass, carpeting, metal, etc.) were not sampled for analysis. Each location for sample collection, chosen at random, were representative of the suspect materials. The bulk samples were placed in zip-lock bags, sealed, and labeled with an identifying code. The samples, along with the chain-of-custody, were then submitted to the laboratory, McCall and Spero Environmental, Inc., to be analyzed for asbestos content. A copy of the chain-of-custody is attached.

7 bulk samples of suspected ACM, were submitted to a laboratory for analysis using Polarized Light Microscopy. Laboratory results are attached.

Summary:

Based the analysis of suspected ACM samples, One of the samples of homogenous areas were determined to be asbestos-containing.

The approximate total of asbestos-containing materials are as follows:

TSI Heat Board (3 Sections) 7 Sq.ft.

Among the material noted above, TSI Heat Board of the material must be removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to demolition or renovation if it would impact this material.

Under current Ohio EPA standards materials containing less than 1% are not “asbestos containing material”. However, this material is still regulated under OSHA (as OSHA does not recognize point-count or composite sampling methods) and must adhere to wet handling, prompt cleanup, disposal requirements set forth by 29 CFR 1926 as applies to demolition operations involving materials containing less than 1% asbestos. As such, H&H Environmental recommends that this material be abated to observe and follow OSHA regulations.

Notice:

An Ohio EPA Notification of Demolition and Renovation form must be completed and submitted to the Ohio EPA at least ten working days prior to the commencement of any abatement or demolition activity. The amount, type and condition of the asbestos-containing materials found in this inspection, as well as the materials assumed to be asbestos-containing materials, must be noted on the form. The name and certification number of the asbestos inspector must be included.

If any additional materials are encountered in these locations, these materials should be left intact and undisturbed until they can be inspected and and sampled by a licensed Asbestos Abatement Evaluation Specialist. H&H Environmental would be happy to return to the site if additional suspect materials are encountered during demolition activity. The other option is to assume that the material is asbestos-containing and have it abated as such.

This report, and the supporting findings, data, conclusions, and recommendations represents H&H Environmental's efforts on behalf of the client. This report is not an asbestos abatement specification and shouldn't be used for specifying removal techniques or methods. The assessments, conclusions, results, and recommendations stated in this report are representative of the circumstances and conditions observed by the inspector at the date of the inspection.
