This document is a comprehensive environmental inspection report for the Ripton North Warehouse located at Silver Towers Road in Ripton, Vermont, conducted by Clay Point Associates, Inc. (CPAI) on August 9, 2019, for Project #15014.

The report documents three separate environmental assessments: asbestos-containing materials (ACM), lead-based paint, and universal/electronic waste. For the asbestos inspection, CPAI collected 35 bulk samples and analyzed 32 samples using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) per EPA Method 600/R-93/116. Three samples were not analyzed per stop-positive protocol. Results identified asbestos in select materials: window glazing samples contained 3% chrysotile asbestos, flashing cement contained 10% chrysotile asbestos, and all other bulk samples tested negative for asbestos. Table 2 identifies two primary asbestos-containing materials requiring attention: window glazing (approximately 10 square feet on the north and west elevations) and flashing cement (unquantified, located at various points on the south elevation where concrete meets the building structure). For the lead-based paint inspection, on-site testing using portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis identified lead-based paint in CPAI Areas #01 and #07 only; all other areas were completely gutted and reconstructed with new materials in 1988. The lead-based paint was detected in specific locations including doors, window casings, and wall components as documented in detailed testing data sheets. The universal waste inventory identified fluorescent light tubes, light ballasts, oven cleaners, spray products, cleaning solutions, and refrigeration equipment distributed throughout various areas of the warehouse. All inspection activities were performed by certified professionals under Vermont regulatory oversight, with appropriate licenses and certifications documented in the report.
