About this file
This document is an Asbestos Inspection Report for the Cahuilla Ranger Station located at 4500 Gecko Rd. in Brawley, California, prepared by Nicklaus Engineering, Inc. on behalf of North Wind Construction Services. The inspection involved collecting and analyzing 18 samples from various areas including the office, bunker house, base cove, flooring, insulation, and roof materials. Laboratory analysis by SGS Laboratories using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) determined that no Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) was detected in any of the samples. The inspection was conducted in accordance with ASTM Standard E 2356-14 and followed standard procedures including site inspection, sample collection, preparation, and analytical review.

2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Nicklaus Engineering has performed this asbestos inspection of a wall located at the
Cahuilla Ranger Station (Bunker House and office insulation) located at 4500 Gecko
Rd. in Brawley, CA. This inspection included:
• Site Inspection
• Sample Preparation
• Sample Collection
• Laboratory Analysis
• Analytical Review
• Final Report Preparation
Based upon the information obtained during the asbestos inspection, considering the limitations contained within Section 3.0, this asbestos inspection has revealed
No Asbestos Containing Material (ACM).
3.0 PROJECT LIMITATIONS
The asbestos inspection was conducted in accordance with ASTM Standard E 2356-
14, the Standard Practice for Comprehensive Building Asbestos Surveys. The intent of this standard is to provide procedures for conducting comprehensive surveys of buildings and facilities for the purpose of locating, identifying, quantifying, and assessing asbestos containing materials. This project was limited to sampling in the following areas:
• Insulation in Office
• Bunker Location
4.0 INSPECTION PROCEDURES
4.1 Sample Inventory
All homogeneous areas of suspect materials were listed during the initial building inspection. The samples are itemized in Table 1 below.

4.2 Sample Analysis
Samples were sent to SGS Laboratories for analysis by Polarized Light Microscopy
(PLM) by EPA Method 600/R-93/116. Sample layers which are friable and estimated by the analyst to contain asbestos were point counted by the laboratory. Such point counting is required by NESHAP in order to rely on analytical results containing asbestos.
SGS Laboratories is a certified laboratory recognized by the National Voluntary
Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) administered by the United States
Department of Commerce National Institute of Standards and Technology.
5.0 ANALYTICAL RESULTS
The sample results have been included as Attachment 1 for reference. No ACM was detected.
6.0 QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT
No Qualitative Assessment was necessary as no asbestos-containing material (ACM) was detected.
7.0 QUALIFICATIONS
7.1 Inspector Qualifications
The inspectors involved in this asbestos inspection are certified as AHERA
Asbestos Inspectors. Copies of the current asbestos certifications have been included as Attachment 2.
7.2 Laboratory Qualifications
The analytical laboratory is certified by the National Voluntary Laboratory
Accreditation Program (NVLAP) of the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) for the asbestos analyses conducted by the laboratory.
