About this file

This document is a Limited In-Scope Asbestos Survey report prepared by Environmental Testing & Training NorthWest for Thom Jones of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at a commercial building located at 1717 Fabry Rd SE in Salem, Oregon. The survey was conducted on December 11th, 2024, in preparation for HVAC and plumbing work, with the aim of identifying potential asbestos-containing materials (ACM) in the 6,144 square foot commercial building.

The survey involved sampling various building materials, including gray TSI pipe wrap, white ducting tape, and yellow ceiling tiles, using protocols adapted from the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Laboratory analysis using polarized light microscopy found no asbestos-containing materials in the sampled areas. The report emphasizes that if any asbestos-containing materials are encountered during renovation or demolition, they must be removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor following OSHA regulations, with appropriate engineering controls and personal protective equipment.

Asbestos Survey Report

SUMMARY

On December 11th, 2024, Justin Spaulding of Environmental Testing & Training NorthWest

(ETTNW) conducted an inspection for suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACM) on the commercial building at 1717 Fabry Rd SE Salem, OR 97306. The customer specified this was an inspection prior to HVAC and plumbing work located on the property. The building interior was inspected, and samples of suspect asbestos containing building materials were taken. The samples were analyzed for asbestos content using polarized light microscopy.

Please see included Asbestos Bulk Sample Report for a list of sampled building materials.

The commercial building located on the property at 1717 Fabry Rd SE Salem, OR 97306 was occupied at the time of the survey and access to all customer specified areas was given.

INTRODUCTION

Purpose

This survey was requested by Thom Jones (530) 894-3343, with BLM to uncover potential sources of asbestos containing materials (ACM). The survey was requested pertaining to

HVAC and plumbing work and disturbance of potential asbestos containing building materials during these processes.

Special Terms & Conditions

No prior inspection by ETTNW has been performed on the property and all owner specified investigations are to be conducted at the time of the initial survey. A minimum number of samples were taken to ensure full accounting of potential ACM, while keeping sampling and analysis costs at an acceptable level to owner.

ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS REVIEW

No regulatory records were reviewed for this survey and no prior asbestos survey or environmental site assessment records were requested for review of the property.

SAMPLING METHODOLOGY

Asbestos Sampling Plan Protocol

This survey was performed using a sampling protocols adopted from the Asbestos Hazard

Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and modified to meet customer’s specific areas of concern. A full AHERA inspection was not requested.

1. Areas in the structure were grouped into homogeneous areas based on use or sameness of building materials used in that area, e.g., roofing same texture and aggregate, etc.

2. Each specified area was sampled for those materials which was suspect as ACM.

3. When sampling, all samples were collected to the maximum extent possible (taken to substrate) to ensure all components were present in sample which might include asbestos.

4. Samples were numbered using sequential numbering system to ensure quality control and replication of results for further surveys if needed during demolition of structure.

5. DISCUSSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

Asbestos-containing material must be removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to any renovation, demolition or repair work that will impact those material.

Any material encountered that are not specifically mentioned in this report should be considered asbestos containing until sufficient sampling has been completed to determine that these materials are non-asbestos containing.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) classify the removal or disturbance of asbestos containing material as a Class I and Class II asbestos abatement projects. The removal of asbestos containing material requires the use of appropriate engineering controls, by a contractor licensed by the State of Oregon. The work methods utilized must include the use of wet methods, negative pressure enclosure, and decontamination facility.

OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1926.1001) states that if asbestos containing material, containing

<1% asbestos is to be removed by construction personnel; the employer shall provide awareness training, a written respirator protection program, respirators, and a negative exposure assessment.

Additionally, OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1926.1101) require employers to meet standards regarding personal protection, labeling, signs, daily air monitoring, use of engineering controls, notification, and respiratory protection for all activities related to the removal or disturbance of asbestos containing building material.

Asbestos Laboratory Analysis

All samples collected were analyzed in our laboratory using stereo light microscopy to prepare samples along with polarized light microscopy to petrologically analyze samples. The samples were analyzed with dispersion staining methods in accordance with EPA method

600/R-93/116 as specified in 40CFR Chapter I (7-1-93 edition) Part 763, Subpart F, Appendix

A, pages 499-504. Polarizing light microscopy can quantify asbestos concentrations between

1 and 100% detection levels. All levels below 1% can only be stated as “trace”. All asbestos concentrations in samples are determined by visual estimation. For each sample, 3 separate slides were prepared to ensure accuracy and prior to analysis; blind quality control samples were selected and analyzed to ensure accuracy in sample analysis.

LIMITATIONS

Asbestos surveys are non-comprehensive by nature and subject to many limitations including those presented below. While areas specified by customer were sampled, areas behind walls and covered by structural members or materials requiring destructive means to access which could not be found with reasonable diligence were not sampled during the initial survey. In addition, any areas not specified by customer to be sampled cannot be assumed to be free of asbestos as no survey to determine asbestos content was performed in these areas.

ETTNW performed this survey in accordance with the generally accepted standards of care that exist in the environmental industry in the state of Oregon at the time of the survey. This survey report is not intended for use as an asbestos abatement plan, specifications of work scope, or management of risks associated with asbestos. No part of this survey is intended to be used as renovation, addition or demolition plans and specifications.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

The intent of the asbestos survey is to comply with federal and state laws pertaining to the release of asbestos from structure renovations or demolitions.
