SCOPE & INTENT-SITE VISIT-CLIENT-DISCLAIMER

SCOPE & INTENT

This is not an AHERA survey. An AHERA Accredited Building Inspector performed the survey. However, AHERA surveys pertain to schools K-12.

This is an asbestos survey performed because the roof of the structure will be disturbed during renovation.

The intent is to visibly inspect & sample observable, accessible materials that are suspect for containing asbestos, to identify them for abatement prior to renovation disturbance.

SITE VISIT:

On Tuesday, October 6, 2009, Kevin Wahlsten, AHERA Asbestos Building Inspector Certification No. 10301445 (Expiration Date: 07-08-2010), inspected the roof of the NFSPRC building located at 3450 S.W. Campus Way in Corvallis, Oregon for asbestos containing materials (ACM). Maier Roofing followed behind Mr. Wahlsten and patched the sampled areas.

The work practice standards for this inspection were consistent with the model curriculum prepared under sponsorship of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Model Accreditation Plan and developed by the Environmental Science And Technology Laboratory of Georgia Tech Research Institute.

CLIENT: Mr. Robert Boebel with TECTONICS Architects/Planners/Engineers contacted our offices to perform a pre-renovation asbestos survey on the roof of the structure.

DISCLAIMER:

ATEZ, Inc. does not profess to have the ability to locate or identify all ACM within a facility.

We take no responsibility for anything buried, underground, or accessible only through massive destructive processes.

We take time to carefully inspect the entire structure; under the floor (if possible), inside the walls, up inside the attic space(s), the outside, floors and behind moldings and coverings. Even with this thorough investigation, we may miss something that may be found during destruction. The existence of unique or concealed ACM and associated debris is a possibility within any facility. In addition, sampling and laboratory analysis constraints may hinder the investigation.

Anyone working on the project must have a copy of the sample results and be familiar with them. If un-sampled building materials are encountered during future construction activities, they must be considered ACMs until testing proves otherwise. Handling of un-sampled building materials must be conducted as if they were ACMs. This is especially true in a structure where several remodels have been done and there are multiple layers of materials, such as flooring and roofing.

If any suspect material not tested is found, work should stop until further testing can be done.

ALL STRUCTURES WITH EMPLOYEES AND/OR PUBLIC ACCESS ARE REQUIRED PER OSHA GENERAL INDUSTRY ASBESTOS STANDARD OAR 437-02-1910.1001 TO HAVE AN ASBESTOS SURVEY PERFORMED BY AN AHERA INSPECTOR.

THE REQUIRED MANAGEMENT PLAN IS BASED UPON THE INFORMATION IN THE SURVEY.

PER EPA/DEQ/LRAPA, ALL STRUCTURES BUILT BEFORE 1988 ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ASBESTOS SURVEY PRIOR TO DEMOLITION, BURNING OR RENOVATION.

NARRATIVE SUMMARY ASBESTOS-October 23, 2009

NFSPRC ROOF-3450 S.W. CAMPUS WAY, CORVALLIS OREGON

OSHA-POSTING THE SURVEY

OSHA

When sampling a subject property with OSHA concerns, OSHA requires three samples of the same material to prove the material is negative for asbestos. If our client directs us to send three samples of the same material, we instruct the laboratory to analyze these same materials to the first positive result, and then stop, in an effort to keep the cost to the client at a minimum. If all three samples of the same material test negative, OSHA accepts the material as negative.

To the best of our knowledge, taking three samples of the same material to prove a negative is not being done in this area. It is our client’s responsibility to direct us to take three samples of the same material. During this inspection, our client did not direct us to take three (3) or more samples to prove a negative result, so we did not.

OSHA EMPLOYEE REQUIREMENTS

Any employee working in a structure containing asbestos must have a minimum of two hours Asbestos Awareness training.

IMPORTANT NOTATION-THIS SURVEY MUST BE DISPLAYED AT THE JOBSITE DURING WORK

Anyone reading this survey needs to review the entire survey (following) for a full understanding of all methods, locations, descriptions and recommendations for this structure. This survey, or a copy thereof, must be placed in a conspicuous location at the site prior to and during any demolition, burning or renovation for the use and inspection of all who may come into contact with any of the sampled materials.

If un-sampled building materials are encountered during future construction activities, they must be considered to be *ACMs until testing proves otherwise. Handling of un-sampled building materials must be conducted as if they were ACMs. This is especially true in a structure where several remodels have been done and there are multiple layers of materials, such as flooring and roofing.

*ACM

Asbestos Containing Material is by EPA standard, any material that contains more than one percent asbestos. ATEZ, Inc. considers any material that contains a trace amount to be ACM since no known safe limit of asbestos exposure has been conclusively documented.

· Chrysotile is known as the “white asbestos” and is the only asbestos mineral in the serpentine group. Chrysotile is the most commonly used type of asbestos and accounts for 95% of the asbestos found in buildings.

· Amosite is known as the “brown asbestos” and is found in the amphibole group. Amosite is the second most common asbestos found in buildings.

· Crocidolite is known as the “blue asbestos” and is also an amphibole. Crocidolite was used as a high temperature insulating material.

ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS

Retrieval and submission of all additional documents pertaining to this project will be charged on a Time & Material basis at the rate of $50 per hour.

NARRATIVE SUMMARY ASBESTOS-October 23, 2009

NFSPRC ROOF-3450 S.W. CAMPUS WAY, CORVALLIS OREGON

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

If positive, friable materials are to be disturbed during any activity they must be removed by a certified, licensed abatement contractor only; (LRAPA Title 43; Oregon DEQ 340-268; Oregon OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101).

REGULATED ASBESTOS BY PERCENTAGE

By federal regulation any product containing over 1% asbestos is a regulated asbestos product. Any product 1% or under by weight (‘Trace’) is not a regulated asbestos product, unless the specific jurisdiction determines to enforce more stringent regulations. For instance, the state of Washington has determined that any product containing 1% asbestos and over is a regulated asbestos product and any product under 1% (‘Trace’) is not a regulated asbestos product

For those samples with asbestos concentrations between 1 and 10 percent based on visual estimation, the EPA recommends a procedure known as point counting (NESHAPS, 40 CFR Part 61). Point counting is a statistically more accurate means of quantification for samples with low concentrations of asbestos. If you would like us to further refine the concentration estimates of asbestos in these samples using point counting, please let us know.

Client did not direct us to point count any samples that tested under 10% asbestos, so we did not.

Even though the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) & the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) consider materials containing 1% or less asbestos by weight a non-regulated material, the Occupational Safety & Health Agency (OSHA) considers any amount of asbestos in a material a health hazard, and has strict protocols for the removal of materials testing positive for all levels of asbestos.

DEFINITION: ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS (ACM); NAD: NO ASBESTOS DETECTED

Any materials sampled that test positive for ACM must be assumed to be positive anywhere else this same material is found, unless client wishes to perform additional testing to prove otherwise.

RECOMMENDATIONS FRIABLE ASBESTOS MATERIALS

Any positive, friable materials that will be disturbed by demolition must be removed by a certified, licensed abatement contractor prior to disturbance by others. LEGAL REQUIREMENTS: Positive, friable materials must be removed by a certified, licensed abatement contractor only; (LRAPA Title 43; Oregon DEQ 340-268; Oregon OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101).

EXCEPTION

The exception to this rule: Homeowners may perform their own abatement, of either Friable or Non-Friable asbestos containing materials, in their own home, as long as they reside in the dwelling both prior to and after abatement.

In the case of Burn-to-Learn projects, all asbestos containing materials must be abated prior to burning.

RECOMMENDATIONS NON-FRIABLE ASBESTOS MATERIALS

Any positive, non-friable materials that will be disturbed by demolition may be removed by others, but if they are not the occupying homeowner, they must possess Asbestos Awareness Training. All the material must be handled, removed, bagged, labeled & disposed of properly, following all the rules & regulations an abatement contractor must abide by.

In the case of Burn-to-Learn projects, all asbestos containing materials must be abated prior to burning.

INFORMATIONAL

RECOMMENDATIONS ‘TRACE’, <1% ASBESTOS MATERIALS

Any materials with ‘Trace’ asbestos content, which means 1% or less Asbestos, that will be disturbed by demolition is not regulated by the EPA/DEQ or LRAPA (Lane County). However, the Occupational Safety & Health Agency (OSHA) considers any amount of asbestos in a material a health hazard, and has strict protocols for the removal of materials testing positive for all levels of asbestos.

In the case of Burn-to-Learn projects, all asbestos containing materials must be abated prior to burning.

EPA/DEQ/LRAPA DECISIONS CONCERNING ASBESTOS IN STRUCTURES

The EPA has determined that all structures are presumed to contain asbestos until proven otherwise.

However, the DEQ & LRAPA have modified these guidelines in Oregon, determining that at this time, they will enforce their guidelines determining that all structures constructed prior to 1989 are presumed to contain asbestos until proven otherwise.

HAS ASBESTOS BEEN BANNED?

No. Many people believe asbestos has been banned in the USA. The EPA Asbestos Materials Ban Clarification dated May 18, 1999 states the following materials have been banned:

1. Most spray-applied Surfacing ACM (fireproofing/insulating and decorative surfacing)

2. Thermal Systems Insulation (TSI, which is wet-applied & pre-formed pipe insulation & pre-formed block insulation on boiler & hot water tanks)

3. Corrugated paper

4. Rollboard

5. Certain textured paint

6. Certain wall patching compounds

7. Commercial paper

8. Specialty paper

9. Flooring felt

NARRATIVE SUMMARY ASBESTOS-October 23, 2009

NFSPRC ROOF-3450 S.W. CAMPUS WAY, CORVALLIS OREGON

INFORMATIONAL

Many building materials are imported into the USA from overseas, Canada & Mexico. Both Canada & Mexico have thriving asbestos industries. In addition, Canada is required to recycle their sheetrock, thus, asbestos containing sheetrock is mixed with new sheetrock resulting in a brand new product, which can be asbestos containing, and sold in the USA. In addition, USA manufacturers still produce many asbestos-containing products for internal consumption.

IDENTIFICATION OF ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS (ACMs)

All known ACMs in a structure with employees/occupants must be identified by labeling, signage or posters. Building occupants must be informed of the presence of these materials. Custodial is required to possess at least two hours awareness training before performing work where ACMs are present. Anyone performing maintenance in the structure must be made aware of the location(s) of the ACMs. Any person disturbing the ACMs must possess sixteen hours awareness training.

TYPES OF ASBESTOS

Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral, is differentiated from other minerals in that its crystals form long, thin fibers. Found throughout the world, the main locations for productions are Russia, Canada, China, Brazil, Zimbabwe and South Africa. In modest quantities it is also mined in California and Vermont.

Asbestos is divided in two groups: Serpentine & Amphibole. The differentiation is established by the structure of the crystals. Amphiboles have a structure that is chain like; Serpentine minerals have a layered structure.

Chrysotile is the only asbestos mineral in the Serpentine classification. The most commonly used type of asbestos, it accounts for 95% of what is found in structures in the United States.

Amosite, Crocidolite, Anthophyllite, Tremolite and Actinolite are the five types of Amphibole asbestos. Of these, only Amosite (brown asbestos) and Crocidolite (blue asbestos) have commercial applications. The others are mostly found as contaminants in these two main types.

CATEGORIES OF ASBESTOS –CONTAINING BUILDING MATERIALS

EPA identifies three categories of Asbestos-Containing Building Materials (ACM) used in structures.

The classifications of asbestos types come from AHERA standards. SM: Surfacing Materials; TSI: Thermal Systems Insulation and MBM: Miscellaneous Building Materials.

Each of these materials is further characterized as either friable or non-friable (explanations in glossary).

The condition of the asbestos containing material (ACM) can also be stipulated, as can be the potential for future disturbance of the material.

· Surfacing Materials (SM): ACM sprayed or troweled on surfaces (walls, ceilings, structural members) for acoustical, decorative or fireproofing purposes. This includes plaster and fireproofing insulation.

· Thermal Systems Insulation (TSI): ACM insulation or paper used to inhibit heat transfer or prevent condensation on pipes, boilers, tanks, ducts and various other components of hot and cold water systems and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. This includes pipe lagging, pipe wrap, block, batt and blanket insulation; cements and “muds’” and a variety of other products such as gaskets and ropes.

· Miscellaneous Building Materials (MBM): Other, largely non-friable products and materials such as floor tile, ceiling tile, roofing felt, roofing material, caulking, mastics, concrete pipe, outdoor siding and fabrics.

NARRATIVE SUMMARY ASBESTOS-October 23, 2009

NFSPRC ROOF-3450 S.W. CAMPUS WAY, CORVALLIS OREGON

INFORMATIONAL

FRIABLE VERSUS NON-FRIABLE ACM

The EPA distinguishes between friable and non-friable forms of ACM. Friable ACM can be “crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure to become airborne when dry”. Other things being equal, friable ACM is thought to release fibers into the air more readily than non-friable; however, many types of non-friable ACM can also release fibers if disturbed.

NON-FRIABLE ROOFING MATERIALS

In many cases non-friable asbestos containing roofing materials that are encapsulated in a petroleum-base binder are typically exempt from some DEQ abatement rules (OAR-340-248-0010 through 0290) and are allowed to be removed as construction debris with proper handling. If you have any questions regarding the handling of these materials contact the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority (LRAPA) at 541.736.1056 or the DEQ.

In the case of Burn-to-Learn projects all asbestos containing materials must be abated prior to burning.

NON-FRIABLE MASTIC REMOVAL

When there are non-friable asbestos containing mastics beneath the flooring materials on concrete and the concrete is to be disposed of in an approved lined landfill and not crushed to be used for site-fill the mastic is considered exempt and does not need to be abated.

However, if the concrete is to be crushed and used for site-fill the mastics must be abated prior to such use.

TESTING METHOD

While it is often possible to “suspect” that a material or product is or contains asbestos by visual determination, actual determinations can only be made by instrumental analysis. The EPA requires that the asbestos content of suspect materials be determined by collecting bulk samples and analyzing them by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). The PLM technique determines both the percent and type of asbestos in the bulk material.

* Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) is the standard test performed by laboratories (using EPA 600/R-93/116) to determine the presence of asbestos in building materials. If the PLM test shows trace quantities of ACM on your samples and you desire to test for the presence of smaller fibers than PLM can determine, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is available. TEM is simply another type of test for asbestos that has the ability to ‘see’ smaller fibers than the PLM test is able to ‘see’. TEM costs roughly six times what PLM costs, but it is available should your circumstances dictate its use.

REGULATIONS:

There are many EPA and OSHA rules and regulations covering the management or removal of asbestos containing materials in buildings. Anyone doing work on the building must be familiar with the regulations. ATEZ, Inc. takes no responsibility for rules and regulations for which the client is responsible that may not be addressed in this survey.

By federal regulation any product containing over 1% asbestos by weight is a regulated asbestos product. The EPA recommends any product containing under 10% asbestos by weight be point counted.

METHODOLOGY:

This survey was conducted in accordance with the sampling protocol in 40 CFR 763.86. The analysis of suspect material has been done in a laboratory accredited by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) under NVLAP (National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program).

INFORMATIONAL

SAMPLING PROTOCOLS:

A Homogeneous Area is an area of surfacing material, thermal insulation or miscellaneous material that, in its original application, is uniform in color, appearance, application, date and texture. Under AHERA rules when performing an AHERA survey, nine (9) samples per homogeneous sampling area are recommended. However, due to cost or other constraints the following table can be used.

TABLE 1

Recommended Number Minimum Number of

Size of Sampling Area of Samples to be Collected SamplesTo be Collected

1. An area less than 1,000 square feet

2. Areas between 1,000 & 5,000 sq. ft.

3. Areas greater than 5,000 square ft.

*However, when not performing an AHERA survey, it is not necessary to follow the above guidelines (in order to minimize the number of samples taken and cost impact upon the client). It is the owner /client’s responsibility to direct us.

In addition, large spaces may contain many areas with the same type (homogenous) of suspect material (i.e. a structure with ‘Popcorn’ ceilings throughout). In this case a representative sample of the repeating material should be taken, with the rule being the number of samples taken would represent at least 25% of all the ceilings in the structure.

ATEZ, Inc. departed from the quantity protocols if, based upon the judgment of the inspector:

· The building materials do not usually contain asbestos (e.g., metal, fasteners, wood, concrete, furniture, electrical equipment, fiberglass, rubber, glass, terrazzo and architectural brick).

· The building material would be damaged in order to collect the sample (e.g., fire doors, mudded joints above plaster ceilings, ceramic tile, etc.). (Except in the case of the structure being demolished or burned, in which case the damage would be acceptable to client).

· The building materials were shown to contain asbestos in nearby areas.

Any materials sampled that test positive for ACM must be assumed to be positive anywhere else this same material is found, unless client wishes to perform additional testing to prove otherwise.

WORKSITE DOCUMENTATION:

This survey must be posted at the job-site for review by all interested parties.

Anyone working on the project should have a copy of the sample results and be familiar with them. If any suspect material not tested is found, work should stop until further testing can be done. This is especially true in a structure where several remodels have been done and there are multiple layers of materials, such as flooring and roofing.

ABATEMENT SPECIFICATION:

This document is not intended to be used as an asbestos abatement specification. Prior to any demolition or renovations of the building, an asbestos project design needs to be performed.

Samples will be disposed of thirty (30) days after the initial survey unless client notifies ATEZ, Inc.

GLOSSARY

ACM

Asbestos Containing Material is by EPA standard, any material that contains more than one percent asbestos. ATEZ, Inc. considers any material that contains a trace amount to be ACM since no known safe limit of asbestos exposure has been conclusively documented.

AIR CELL PIPE INSULATION

Trade name for manufactured corrugated cardboard-like asbestos pipe insulation. Two cylindrical halves were typically fitted around a pipe and held in place through an outer layer of lagging compound.

ACCESS

With reference to material assessments; the lack of the inspector’s ability to actually take a sample of the material, or to, through the configuration of building components or other, to see or physically reach potentially suspect material. Materials which are buried, enclosed behind walls or plaster ceilings, under metal jackets, etc., are not accessible.

ACCESSIBILITY

With reference to material assessments, subject to disturbance by building occupants, custodial or maintenance personnel in the course of their normal activity.

ACCESSIBLE AREAS

With reference to surveys, areas of a building that can be physically or visually accessed without damaging building components. These areas include ceiling tiles, pipe chases with access doors, pipe tunnels with access hatches and similar spaces.

AHERA

Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act.

AIR CELL JACKET

Trade name for manufactured corrugated heavy paper project applied in sheets to insulate boilers, tanks, ductwork, etc. On boilers and tanks, jacket was typically held in place with lagging compound.

ACOUSTICAL CEILING TILES

Typically, a fibrous mat, manufactured in one foot by one foot squares, or similar size that have a patchwork of holes on the exposed side. They are very light and have no structural integrity of their own. These tiles are not supported by a suspended grid or other system as they are commonly glued directly to the ceiling. The mastic (glue) that is used to attach them to the surface is often ACM.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Materials are assessed in this report with consideration given to the following criteria:

CURRENT DAMAGE

Documents the extent and condition of the damaged areas of a material.

HARD FITTINGS

An insulating cement packed around pipe fittings such as elbows, valves, tees, etc. The hard cement is typically protected by lagging cloth contiguous with the adjacent pipe insulation.

HEPA

High Efficiency Particulate Air filter capable of screening 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger. HEPA filters are used in respirators, special vacuums, negative air machines and other equipment.

HIGH CONCERN

A material that is friable, accessible, in poor condition and with a high potential for future damage. It does not represent the extreme situation of an Immediate Health Concern, but it is an assessment indicating that positive actions should be taken in a timely manner. Example: Highly friable sprayed-on fireproofing.

HOMOGENEOUS AREA

An area of surfacing material, thermal insulation or miscellaneous material that, in its original application, is uniform in color, appearance, application, date and texture.

GLOSSARY

IMMEDIATE HEALTH CONCERN

Highly friable asbestos material which is in a deteriorated condition, easily accessible, and easily capable of emitting fibers into the air. Example: Damaged mag insulation creating substantial quantities of debris and located in an accessible area.

INSULATING CEMENT

Cementitious mixture applied typically to or adjacent to tanks, boiler, etc. for insulation value or to seal openings. The insulating cement is sometimes protected with lagging, but is often exposed.

LAGGING ON PIPE INSULATION

Cementitious compound and layer(s) of heavy felt lagging covering paper wrap, air cell, fiberglass or other types of pipe material.

LOW CONCERN

Generally a material that is non-friable. It can also include moderately friable materials in good condition that are in remote locations. Example: Vinyl asbestos floor tiles and cement asbestos board.

MAGNESIUM-TYPE PIPE INSULATION

Manufactured white, fluffy magnesia asbestos pipe insulation. Two cylindrical halves were typically fitted around a pipe and held in place through an outer layer of lagging cloth and/or metal clamps.

MASTIC

Adhesive. Mastics can be found in every part of a structure. Mastics are used in roofing, flooring, siding, ceilings, and walls, as waterproofing and as a sealant. Mastics are commonly ACM.

MATERIAL DEBRIS

Fragments of asbestos-containing materials that have completely separated from their original “Parent” application.

MECHANICAL ISOLATION CLOTH

A heavy woven fabric located typically between air handling equipment and an adjacent air duct to prevent the transmission of vibrations.

MISCELLANEOUS BUILDING MATERIAL (MBM)

Any material that is not TSI or surfacing material such as floor tiles, ceiling tiles, sheet floor covering, etc.

MODERATE CONCERN

Moderately friable or potentially friable materials that are in good condition or located in areas that are not easily accessible with a moderate potential for future damage. Example: Air cell pipe insulation in good condition.

NAD

No Asbestos Detected

NON-FRIABLE

An ACM material that when dry, cannot be crumbled, crushed, pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure. EPA also defines two categories of Nonfriable ACM, Category I and Category II Nonfriable ACM.

PAPER WRAP PIPE INSULATION

Non-corrugated heavy paper pipe insulation. Two cylindrical halves were typically fitted around a pipe and held with lagging. Typically contains multiple layers of different paper types.

PERMALITE

Manufactured white, fluffy perlite pipe insulation, visually similar to magnesia pipe insulation. Two cylindrical halves were typically fitted around a pipe and held in place through an outer layer of lagging compound.

POOR CONDITION (“SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED” as defined in AHERA)

A material with one or more of the following characteristics: The surface crumbling or blistered over at least one tenth of the surface if the damage is evenly distributed (one quarter if the damage is localized). One tenth (one quarter, if localized) of material hanging from the surface, deteriorated, or showing adhesive failure. Water stains, gouges, or mars over at least on tenth of the surface if the damage is evenly distributed (one quarter if the damage is localized).

POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE

A material in an area regularly used by building occupants with indications that there is a reasonable likelihood that it will become damaged. Indications include maintenance practices, equipment movement, occupancy use patterns, accessibility to traffic and changes in building use.

GLOSSARY

RACM

Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material. RACM is: (A) A friable asbestos material, (B) Category I Nonfriable ACM that has become friable, (C) Category I Nonfriable ACM that will be or has been subject to sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading, or (D) Category II Nonfriable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations.

SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE

Damage that is both extensive and severe. In reference to surfacing materials, that damage would generally be at least ten percent when evenly distributed over and area, or twenty-five percent when localized.

SURFACING MATERIAL (SM)

Sprayed-on, troweled-on, or similarly applied materials installed on a surface substrate of gypsum board, steel structure, etc. Surfacing materials include fireproofing, “Popcorn” ceiling textures and spray-on acoustical materials.

SUSPENDED CEILING TILES

Acoustical ceiling tiles, fibrous in content with a patchwork of holes on the exposed side, commonly manufactured in two feet by four feet sheets, placed in a suspended metal grid that is supported with wires attached into the above structure.

TEXTURED CEILING MATERIAL

A material sprayed on to a ceiling substrate to create a textured appearance. It is usually applied for decorative and/or acoustical purposes.

THERMAL SYSTEMS INSULATION (TSI)

Thermal Systems Insulation. Materials applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts or other components to prevent heat loss or gain, or water condensation.

THREE-TAB ASPHALT SHINGLES (Asphalt Composition Shingles)

Typically, an asphaltic shingle, manufactured in one piece but made to look like three separate shingles by slicing two vertical grooves in the shingle during the manufacturing process from the bottom of the shingle two-thirds of way up into the body of the shingle. These shingles are pliable and have an adhesive on the back of the shingles which adhere to bottom layer of shingles after placement.

VINYL FLOOR TILE

Manufactured floor tiles typically nine inches by nine inches or twelve inches by twelve inches, composed of a dense vinyl matrix that often contains asbestos and is adhered to the substrate with a mastic that often contains asbestos.

VINYL SHEET FLOORING

Manufactured vinyl typically in rolls, composed of a dense vinyl matrix that often contains asbestos and is adhered to the substrate with a mastic that often contains asbestos.
