1. SCOPE OF SERVICES

Items

1.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES

Comments: Include

Purpose. The purpose of Limited Asbestos Survey is to detect and identify the presence of friable and non-friable Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) in the Subject Property.

Scope of Limited Asbestos Survey. The Limited Asbestos Survey consisted of a visual survey to classify accessible suspect ACM by condition and location to determine homogeneous areas for bulk sample collection as well as assessing problems in area(s) designated the client. Bulk sample collection/analysis was conducted in these designated area(s). A homogeneous area is an area of surfacing material, thermal surface insulation or miscellaneous material that is uniform in color and texture.

2. PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION

2.0 PROJECT SITE DESCRIPTION

Comments: Include

The project site description consists of a Federal Courthouse built in 2002. The Project Manager requested an asbestos survey prior to demolition and/or renovation of the structures building materials from a renovation.

The following client defined areas of the structure where photo documented to note homogeneous building materials and the current condition of the structure when the asbestos survey was performed.

3. METHODS

3.0 METHODS

Comments: Include

Bulk Asbestos Samples: Bulk samples were analyzed by EMLab P&K of Norcross, Ga. EMLab P&K is a participant in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program. EMLab P&K is an accredited PLM laboratory under the NVLAP (No. 201060-0), samples were to delivered to EMLab P&K using their chain-of-custody procedures for bulk analysis.

Bulk samples were collected using the current industries methods and used within this report. Bulk samples are collected by wetting the sample area with a surfactant/water mixture, cut with a sharp decontaminated knife or cored with an asbestos cutter sleeve and placed in a labeled zip-lock bag for laboratory analysis. Bulk samples were submitted for Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).

4. ASBESTOS SURVEY FINDINGS

4.0 ASBESTOS SURVEY FINDINGS

Comments: Include

The assessment of suspect ACM was limited to the structures interior and consisted of the following:

• Yellow Insulation

• White Wrap with Silver Foil/ Transparent Fibers

Based on the visual survey of the subject structure, a total of (3) bulk samples were collected at the site areas representing the homogeneous use of suspect building materials. (Picture 1-6)

5. ASBESTOS REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

5.0 NESHAP - EPA

Comments: Include

5.1 OSHA

Comments: Include

EPA Regulations

Current asbestos regulations contained within the EPA's National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS 40 CFR, Subpart M, November 20, 1990 revision) define a regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM) as:

a) Friable asbestos material

b) Category I non-friable ACBM that may become friable

c) Category I non-friable ACBM that will be or has been subject to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or

d) Category II non-friable ACBM that has a high probability of becoming or has been crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations regulated under this subpart.

Friable - any material containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the method specified in appendix E, subpart E, 40 CFR part 763, section 1, Polarized Light Microscopy, that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. If the asbestos content is less than 10 percent as determined by a method other than point counting by polarized light microscopy (PLM), verify the asbestos content by point counting using PLM.

(MSE Environmental Note: Point Counting Friable samples is note included in this report and those services are quoted separately.)

OSHA Regulations

Class I Asbestos Work - means activities involving the removal of TSI and surfacing ACM and PACM.

Class II Asbestos Work - means activities involving the removal of ACM which is not thermal system insulation or surfacing material. This includes, but is not limited to, the removal of asbestos-containing wallboard, floor tile and sheeting, roofing and siding shingles, and construction mastics.

Class III Asbestos Work - means repair and maintenance operations, where "ACM," including TSI and surfacing ACM and PACM, may be disturbed.

Class IV Asbestos Work - means maintenance and custodial construction activities during which employees

333 South Las Vegas Boulevard Page 11 of 17 contact but do not disturb ACM or PACM and activities to clean up dust, waste and debris resulting from Class I, II and III activities.

Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM) - means any material containing more than one percent asbestos.

Presumed Asbestos-Containing Material (PACM) - means thermal system insulation and surfacing material found in buildings constructed no later than 1984. The designation of a material as "PACM" may be rebutted following procedures specified in the standard.

Surfacing ACM - means material that is sprayed, troweled-on or otherwise applied to surfaces (such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, and other purposes) and that contains more than 1% asbestos.

Thermal System Insulation (TSI) ACM - means ACM applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breeching, tanks, ducts or other structural components to prevent heat loss or gain and that contains more than 1% asbestos.

333 South Las Vegas Boulevard Page 12 of 17

6. CONCLUSIONS

6.0 CONCLUSIONS

Comments: Include

Based on the survey and analytical laboratory tests results reported, building materials had No Asbestos Non Detect on any bulk samples submitted.

If any additional suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) in inaccessible or concealed spaces are revealed during the demolition activities, then all such unidentified materials should be treated as Presumed Asbestos Containing Materials (PACM) in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.1101 and 1910.1001. It's recommended that PACM's be samples to determine the presence of asbestos prior to continuation of demolition activities.

The results include an inherent uncertainty of measurement associated with estimating percentages by polarized light microscopy. Measurement uncertainty data for sample results with >1% asbestos concentration can be provided when requested.

The test report shall not be reproduced except in full, without written approval of the laboratory. The report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by any agency of the federal government. Eurofins EMLab P&K reserves the right to dispose of all samples after a period of thirty (30) days, according to all state and federal guidelines, unless otherwise specified.

Inhomogeneous samples are separated into homogeneous subsamples and analyzed individually. ND means no fibers were detected. When detected, the minimum detection and reporting limit is less than 1% unless point counting is performed. Floor tile samples may contain large amounts of interference material and it is recommended that the sample be analyzed by gravimetric point count analysis to lower the detection limit and to aid in asbestos identification.

‡ A "Version" indicated by -"x" after the Lab ID# with a value greater than 1 indicates a sample with amended data. The revision number is reflected by the value of "x".
