This document is an asbestos survey report conducted by Farmer Environmental Services, LLC for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service at 9053 State Route 148 in Marion, IL on July 19, 2019. The comprehensive survey identified multiple building materials containing asbestos, including hard plaster walls (3% chrysotile), 9" x 9" floor tiles (6% chrysotile), blown-in insulation mixed with pipe insulation debris (2% chrysotile), and transite siding (15% chrysotile, 3% crocidolite). The report details sampling procedures performed in accordance with EPA guidelines, using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) to analyze 26 suspect building materials across various locations like the kitchen, restrooms, corridors, offices, and attic.

The survey highlights specific abatement requirements, noting that hard plaster is a friable regulated asbestos-containing material requiring removal prior to demolition, and blown-in insulation contaminated with pipe insulation debris is also deemed a friable material needing abatement. Additionally, asbestos-containing floor tiles on concrete are classified as Category I non-friable material likely to become friable during demolition, while cementitious materials like siding and roof panels are Category II non-friable materials that will likely require abatement. The report includes detailed laboratory analysis reports for each sampled material, providing precise percentages of asbestos content, non-fibrous material, and other compositional details.
