About this file
This document contains an asbestos survey and mold analysis report for the Steel Visitor Center at Crater Lake National Park in Oregon. Samples were collected from wall openings and tested for the presence of asbestos and mold. Laboratory analysis found no detectable asbestos in the sampled materials. Mold was detected at low levels in wallboard paper samples from the small office and stairwell areas. The report recommends no asbestos abatement is required prior to structural demolition but caution during demolition in case additional suspect materials are discovered.
A related federal contract opportunity was also provided. Solicitation number 140P2020R0158 from the Department of the Interior National Park Service National Office seeks to correct structural deficiencies and stabilize the Steel Visitor Center. The opportunity description notes contract work will repair issues at the listed facility.

140P2020P0007 CRATER LAKE VC DISCOVERY DEMO Dark Horse Const.8/23/20
1 | P a g e
Report Work Item R.1 –
An 85’ Straight Boom was used to access front chimney cap from parking lot. Upon inspection there were set bolts that appeared to be holding cap down from moving.
Upon removal/loosening of bolts, the cap would not raise upwards without significant force. Even with significant force being applied, it moved upwards less than an inch. Since the stones and mortar were easily visible without lifting the cap, consultants were able to inspect conditions without cap removal so the actual removal effort was abandoned.

WORK ITEMS 1.1, 2.1, 2.2 Holes cut open for inspection, Mold Testing, and restoring. Since Bryce with Rim Architects was documenting, I do not have pictures of open holes, just the holes after making the repairs.

Work Item E.1 Remove roofing and core drill two areas-
Roofing was removed and area on right (South) side of wall between windows was going to be drilled first. However, upon opening area, it was discovered that ductwork and conduit might hamper efforts, so moved to left (north) side to drill that hole first.
2nd rafter bay heading north from south window
2nd rafter bay heading south from north window
Due to the size of opening and where hole was required to be drilled (centered between back up concrete wall and stone), a custom steel base was fabricated and used in order to position and secure core drill. The first effort at drilling was done leaving the plate in place. After a lot of effort at sealing with putty, etc. it was decided that there was too much slurry leakage through unseen voids below plate. See red arrow above.
Void were slurry escaping below plate
4 | P a g e
It was decided to remove plates at both core locations and install a concrete leveling pad to try and minimize leakage and fill voids in area.
The product used was Rapid Set Cement All, Non-Shrink Grout for leveling base.

South Core after concrete leveling pad installed South Core before concrete leveling pad installed

CORE RIG PLUMMED
Starting South Core
6 | P a g e
North Core Depth drilled was 13’-5” with approx. 85% to 90% core retrieval.
Cores show a mix of concrete and stone.
7 | P a g e
South Core Depth drilled was 10’-4” until hitting top of vent hole.
There were 2 significant voids encountered while drilling. One approx. 6” near top, and another 12” plus void at approx. 3’ down from top. It is assumed any missing cores would be somewhere in these voids.
Bottom piece of South core falling through vent hole
Bottom three pieces of core fell through bottom of core hole. Order unknown, so not numbered.

Slurry Containment and Disposal
A note on slurry containment. Due to the many voids and cracks in the wall, slurry could be contained using a vac shroud as normal. On the North Core 90 percent of the water escaped via voids, etc. and ran out cracks on interior and exterior of wall. A slurry containment pond was made at exterior and solidified with a gel product (Diteq Slurry Gel) for lawful disposal. Wall was then scrubbed with plastic brush and water after work completed.
Any penetration at interior was retrieved after based board removed with Wet dry vacuums and disposed of with slurry. Blower was kept on wall and carpet to insure quick drying of area and materials.
9 | P a g e
When roof was repaired, all 1 x sheathing boards removed were able to be reinstalled and covered with new ice dam. Some of the shake were reusable, however many were not and new ones were matched and blended in.

ASBESTOS SURVEY
Steel Visitor Center, Crater Lake, OR
Introduction
Western States Environmental Services was contracted by Chris Zach w/ Dark Horse Construction, to perform a limited survey at Steel Visitor Center Crater Lake National Park Oregon. The purpose of this activity was to determine the presence of asbestos building materials (ACBM) and Mold prior to remodel.
Asbestos Survey
Kerry Chesnut of Western States Environmental Services collected samples of suspect ACBM from the location on August 11, 2020. Mr. Chesnut is an accredited Building Inspector according to the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act and Asbestos School Hazard Abatement Reauthorization Act (AHERA/ASHARA), Certification IN–19–7456B, exp.
2/19/2021.
Owner: Crater Lake National Forest Structure Type: Commercial Area: Office, Stairwell, Hall
Asbestos Analysis
All areas of the work zone were inspected for the presence of “suspect” ACBM. Samples were collected and catalogued for analysis. Samples were then forwarded to EMSL Analytical of San Leandro California, under chain of custody protocol for analysis utilizing Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).

% / Type
20-181-4 Top of Stairs wall opening duct tape White - Stable Friable Non-Detect Friable/Non-friable does not indicate the presence of asbestos Note: Bold/Red indicates asbestos above 1%.
Recommendations
According to OR-DEQ statute, all areas testing positive (> 1%) for asbestos must be abated either directly by the homeowner in the case of a residence, or by an accredited / Oregon licensed, Asbestos Abatement Contractor prior to remodel. The laboratory results determined that asbestos is not present. Additionally, no other materials in the anticipated work zone are suspect for asbestos. Asbestos abatement is not required prior to structural demolition.
Mold Analysis
All areas of the work zone were inspected for the presence of “suspect” Mold. Samples were collected and catalogued for analysis. Samples were then forwarded to EMSL Analytical of San Leandro California, under chain of custody protocol for Microscopic Examination.

Additional Notes
Although every effort has been made to determine the presence of asbestos, it is possible that some materials may be hidden in inaccessible areas such as inside wall cavities, interior building ceilings, crawl spaces, etc. Therefore, caution should be exercised during demolition to be continually observant of additional “possible” asbestos containing materials. If suspect materials are discovered, work should stop, and sampling should be undertaken to determine if asbestos is present with proper abatement procedures exercised if positive.

EMSL maintains liability limited to cost of analysis . Interpretation and use of test results are the responsibility of the client. This report relates only to the samples reported above, and may not be reproduced, except in full, without written approval by EMSL. EMSL bears no responsibility for sample collection activities or analytical method limitations . The report reflects the samples as received.
Results are generated from the field sampling data (sampling volumes and areas, locations, etc.) provided by the client on the Chain of Custody. Samples are within quality control criteria and met method specifications unless otherwise noted. The above analyses were performed in general compliance with Appendix E to Subpart E of 40 CFR (previously EPA 600/M4-82-020 “Interim Method”) but augmented with procedures outlined in the 1993 (”final”) version of the method. This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST or any agency of the federal government. Non- friable organically bound materials present a problem matrix and therefore EMSL recommends gravimetric reduction prior to analysis . Unless requested by the client, building materials manufactured with multiple layers (i.e. linoleum, wallboard, etc.) are reported as a single sample. Estimation of uncertainty is available on request.
