General Asbestos Information:

It has been determined that the inhalation of asbestos fibers has caused the development of asbestos related diseases including Asbestos (lung scarring) and increased risk of developing Lung Cancer (Mesothelioma) a cancer of the linings of the lung or abdominal cavity. Asbestos substances have also been one of the most heavily litigated substances ever used in commercial and residential construction.

The Clean Air Act (CAA) required the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop and enforce regulations protecting the general public from being exposed to airborne contaminants that are known to be hazardous to human health. In accordance with Section 112 of the CAA, the EPA established the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). Asbestos was one of the first hazardous air pollutants to be regulated under Section 112. On March 31, 1971, the EPA identified asbestos as a hazardous air pollutant and on April 6, 1973, EPA first officially announced the Asbestos

NESHAP regulation in CFR Part 61. In 1990, a revised NESHAP regulation was officially announced by the EPA.

The Asbestos NESHAP regulations were established to protect the public by setting forth requirements which would minimize the release of asbestos fibers into the air during any activities which would include removal/disturbance, handling and disposal of removed asbestos containing materials. These Asbestos

NESHAP regulations specify work practices to be followed during the demolition or renovation of any structure (does not include residential buildings containing four or less units).

The Owner is required by these regulations to notify all applicable Federal, State and Local agencies and/or any EPA Regional offices of any upcoming demolitions or renovations containing more than the allowable amounts of asbestos containing materials.

These Asbestos NESHAP work practice standards apply during the renovation or demolition of projects containing at or more than 260 linear feet, 160 square feet or 35 cubic feet of friable asbestos containing materials of greater than 1% asbestos.

The owner of any building containing ACM is required to insure that asbestos fibers are not released into the environment. This is achieved by an inspection of the property by a Licensed Inspector who will then determine the ACM’s potential to release fibers into the environment. This procedure is called the Hazard

Assessment. After the Hazard Assessment is made an appropriate response action can be instigated to prevent any potential hazards.

The EPA, utilizing the NESHAP regulations (40 CFR 61, Subpart M) has labeled ACM as being friable or non-friable. NESHAP revisions have further labeled non-regulated ACM into two categories: Category I

(Non-friable ACM) typically includes four types of ACM - 1) packings, 2) gaskets, 3) resilient floor coverings and 4) asphalt roofing materials. Category II (Non-friable ACM) any non-friable materials excluding Category I non-friable ACM. (An example would be cement board products.)

Regulated Asbestos Containing Materials (RACM) would include 1) friable ACM, 2) Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable, 3) Category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading or 4) Category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming friable by forces expected to act on the materials during renovation or demolition.

Specific Regulatory Information:

Federal regulations concerning removal of identified Asbestos Containing Materials are the Environmental

Protection Agency’s National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Asbestos NESHAPS

Revision, Final Rule 40 CFR Part 61; this ruling requires that asbestos fibers be controlled when removing

“friable” Asbestos Containing Materials from public buildings.

The OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101, Construction Industry Asbestos Standard. This standard sets forth owner responsibilities, worker protection requirements and abatement procedures.

If there are plans to demolish a structure, the State of North Carolina requires an Inspection to be performed to determine the possible presence of ACM and if such materials exist in the structure, all friable Asbestos

Containing Materials (ACMs) must be removed by a licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractor before demolition. Written notification must also be provided to the NC DEHNR, Division of Epidemiology, and

Health Hazards Control Branch.

If there are plans to move a structure, there are many variables that must be taken into consideration if the structure contains ACMs. Each case would be different and would be handled accordingly.

According to OSHA definition materials containing asbestos greater than 1% are considered to contain

ACM, therefore any sheetrock joint compound found within a structure to be demolished (or renovations which will disturb the sheetrock) that upon analyzation shows greater than 1% asbestos containing materials will be treated as a Regulated Material by Abatemaster, LLC

For this reason, Abatemaster, LLC requires the laboratory to perform all sheetrock testing using techniques that test the joint compound separately from the sheetrock. If such testing shows the joint compound to contain any ACM, both sheetrock and joint compound combined shall be considered a friable material and therefore regulated material that must be removed before demolition or disturbing renovation.

In North Carolina, the agency responsible for enforcing all state and federal rulings is The North Carolina

Department of Health and Human Services, Health Hazards Control Branch.

Local regulations vary from county to county and are in addition to Federal and State Regulations.

HAZARD ASSESSMENT FOR ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS

Hazard Assessment Inspection, Sampling, Laboratory and Limitation Information:

Abatemaster, LLC Hazard Assessment is based on determination of the type of asbestos, the friability/non-friability, material condition and the potential of the ACM to release fibers into the environment. Non-covered and friable surfacing materials, for example, can obviously pose more of a potential for fiber release than pipe covered by a wrap. If the covering is missing or damaged, the pipe insulation has greater probability of releasing fibers. Non-friable materials such as floor tiles, mastic, and cement products have the least potential to release fibers.

Fibers from non-friable ACM are released when the materials are cut, drilled, sanded or other activities that can disturb the integrity of the material. Fibers are most likely to be released into a structure during maintenance procedures, renovations or demolition projects relating to the ACM either directly or indirectly.

Unless an Inspection/Survey has been performed and the materials analyzed by a laboratory for asbestos, the materials are to be treated as assumed asbestos containing materials.

Inspection and sampling procedures for this Hazard Assessment were in accordance with the following guidelines/documents:

EPA, U. (1985). Guidance for Controlling Asbestos Containing Materials in Buildings. Washington D.C.: EPA Office of Toxic Substances.

OSHA, N. (1993). Building Inspector Course Materials. Chapel Hill: NC OSHA Education Resource Center.

Inspection Guidelines

1. Identify Suspected Materials and perform a hazard assessment to determine the type of material, its friability, condition and the potential of the materials to release fibers into the environment.

2. Locate an accessible area for taking bulk samples of suspected materials.

Sampling Guidelines:

1. Mist surface of sample site with water.

2. Place all samples identification tag with a sample number on the sample site and take a photograph; then remove sample tag and place in Ziploc bag. Enter sample number on sample record sheet with location.

3. Remove approximately 1 square inch of material, penetrating through all layers of the material.

4. Tape or encapsulate sample site and mark for future reference.

5. Transport samples to a laboratory accredited through the National Institute of Standards Technology's

(NIST) National Volunteer Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for asbestos, following all applicable procedures regarding proper Chain of Custody paperwork.

Laboratory Guidelines:

1. Laboratory analysis was conducted by using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) following the EPA Test

Method 600/r-93/116 and EPA Test Method "EPA 600/M4-82-020".

2. Bulk samples were initially examined using a stereo microscope at a magnification of 10X - 50X.

3. Each sample was observed and noted as to physical characteristics (homogeneity, color, fiber morphology etc.).

4. Suspect ACM was then mounted in refractive index oils and observed using PLM.

5. Characteristics of suspect asbestos fibers were noted including refractive indices, pleochroism, birefringence, sign of elongation and angle of extinction

6. Following the PLM examination, a determination was then made of the type and percentage of asbestos present for that sample.

Hazard Assessment Limitations:

ACM materials hidden by structure or inaccessible could be located in areas not accessed during inspection and therefore are not considered a part of this survey. Areas could include (but are not limited to) chases, wall cavities, inside HVAC ducting, wiring insulation and coverings, or within roofing or flooring systems.

If suspect materials are found during demolition activities they should be sampled and analyzed or considered as ACM and handled accordingly.

Abatemaster, LLC Page 8 of 31

Recommendation Guidelines (Response Actions):

1. Removal - Complete removal of ACM following all Federal and State removal regulations.

2. Enclosure - The construction of an air-tight barrier installed between the friable asbestos and the building environment.

3. Encapsulation - The application of a sprayed-on liquid material which will surround or embed the asbestos fibers in an adhesive matrix to prevent release of fibers.

4. Repair - The process of returning the damaged ACMs to an undamaged condition.

5. Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Plan - The development of a plan detailing a program of training, cleaning, work practices, occupant notification and periodic surveillance to maintain friable and/or non-friable ACMs in good condition. The plan would also ensure clean-up of any asbestos fibers previously released or present in the building environment and the anticipated prevention of further release by minimizing and controlling ACM disturbance.

a. It should be noted that while and O&M plan is a good method for preventing occupant exposure to asbestos, it is an interim means of dealing with the material. Eventually, all ACM will have to be removed and properly disposed of.

b. It is strongly recommended that all damaged asbestos containing materials or that have a high probability to become damaged be removed as soon as possible to prevent asbestos fibers from being released into the environment. The removal should be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable State and Federal regulations.

c. Any damaged non-friable ACM that can be repaired and maintained, should be repaired as soon as feasible. It is recommended that those ACMs determined to be in good condition with a low potential for disturbance, be left in place and maintained in good condition. This is best accomplished with the development and implementation of an Operations & Maintenance program.

d. If the building owner intends to renovate or demolish any part of the facility, or conduct similar activities which may disturb ACMs, (unless the structure is an Owner occupied residential dwelling, the material must be removed by a North Carolina licensed abatement contractor.
