1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this Demolition survey was to identify accessible asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) and their general locations within Clay County Fire Rescue Station 24, located at 5105 Sweat Road in Green Cove Springs, Florida. The survey was conducted pursuant to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP, 40 CFR 61) requirements, associated with the scheduled Demolition plans. The survey was performed on February 18, 2026, by Mr. Zac Klarich, an Environmental Protection Agency/Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (EPA/AHERA) accredited inspector. The scope of this survey did not include demolition of any building components, evaluation of architectural plans, or the quantification of materials for abatement purposes, or removal cost estimating.

1.2 FACILITY DESCRIPTION

A summary of the facility investigated is outlined in the table below.

Interior Wall Substrate: Metal Panels, Wood Panels Wall Finishes: Paint, Texture Floor Finishes: Vinyl Floor Tile Ceiling System: Suspended Ceiling System Ceiling Finishes: Suspended Ceiling Tiles

2.0 RESULTS

2.1 ASBESTOS SURVEY PROCEDURES

The survey was performed by visually observing accessible areas within the scope of work. An EPA/AHERA accredited inspector performed the visual observations (refer to Appendix B for personnel qualifications).

After the overall visual survey was completed, representative sampling areas were determined.

The surveyor delineated homogeneous areas of suspect materials and samples of each material were obtained, in general accordance with regulations as established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and NESHAP. The field surveyor determined sample locations based on previous experience. Both friable and non-friable materials were sampled. A friable material is one that can be crushed when dry by normal hand pressure. This survey did not include the demolition of building components to access suspect material.

After completion of the fieldwork, the samples were delivered to GLE’s National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) accredited laboratory for analysis. The samples were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) coupled with dispersion staining, in general accordance with EPA-600/R-93/116. Utilizing this procedure, the various asbestos minerals (chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, actinolite, tremolite, and anthophyllite) can be determined. The percentages of asbestos minerals in the samples were visually determined by the microscopist. Please note that the EPA designates all materials containing greater than one percent asbestos as an “asbestos-containing material” (ACM).

Regulated Asbestos-Containing Material (RACM) is defined as (a) Friable asbestos materials,

(b) Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable, (c) Category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading, or (d) Category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations regulated by this subpart.

Category I and Category II non-friable ACM, as defined by the EPA:

Category I non-friable ACM means asbestos-containing packings, gaskets, resilient floor covering, asphalt roofing products, and pliable sealants and mastics that are in good condition and not friable, containing more than one percent asbestos, as determined using the method specified in Appendix E, Subpart E, 40 CFR Part 763, Section 1, PLM.

Category II non-friable ACM means any material, excluding Category I non-friable ACM, containing more than 1 percent asbestos as determined using the methods specified in Appendix E, Subpart E, 40 CFR Part 763 Section 1, PLM that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.

2.2 IDENTIFIED SUSPECT ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS

A total of twenty-one samples of suspect building materials were collected from the facility during the survey, representing seven different identified homogeneous areas. The results of the laboratory analyses are included in Appendix A.

3.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 GENERAL

Asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were identified in the scope of this survey. General and specific conclusions and recommendations are provided below.

The EPA, OSHA and the State of Florida have promulgated regulations dealing with asbestos.

For commercial building owners, the EPA NESHAP (40 CFR 61) regulations require removal of RACM, prior to conducting activities which might disturb the material. They also deal with notification, handling and disposal of asbestos.

The EPA recommends that an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program be developed for any facilities with ACM, and this Program should address all ACM (known and/or assumed) present. The O&M Program establishes notification and training requirements along with special procedures for working around the ACM. The O&M Program would remain in effect until all asbestos is removed.

Category I and Category II non-friable materials, as defined by the EPA, may remain within a facility during demolition with no potential cessation of work, provided they remain non-friable and the appropriate engineering controls (i.e., wet methods) are utilized, with the resulting waste disposed of as asbestos-containing waste. However, there is no guarantee that these materials will remain non-friable. If the materials become friable, then they are classified as RACM.

Additionally, local jurisdictions may have more stringent interpretations regarding classification of these materials.

RACM, as defined by the EPA, must be removed prior to renovation or demolition activities that may disturb the materials.

The OSHA regulations deal with employee exposure to airborne asbestos fibers. The regulations restrict employee exposure, and require special monitoring, training and handling procedures when dealing with asbestos. Additionally, OSHA has regulations that may supersede the EPA regulations. In order to protect the worker, OSHA has established a permissible exposure limit (PEL), which limits employee exposure to airborne fiber concentrations. OSHA requires objective evidence that the PEL will not be exceeded, as justification that personal air monitoring and engineering controls will not be required. OSHA has also established rules requiring the containerization and labeling of asbestos waste.

The State regulations require that anyone involved in asbestos consulting activities be a licensed asbestos consultant and that anyone involved in asbestos abatement, with the exception of roofing materials, be a licensed asbestos abatement contractor.

3.2 SPECIFIC

FT-01 12" x 12" Pink Vinyl Floor Tile:

This material is defined by the EPA as a Category I non-friable material. This material has a high probability of becoming friable by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition operations. Therefore, it will be classified as RACM. The identified RACM does not appear to present a significant issue, as observed, at the time of the survey. We recommend that the identified RACM be maintained as part of an O&M Program and periodically monitored for any changes in condition prior to demolition. Additionally, we recommend that a licensed asbestos abatement contractor properly remove and dispose of the RACM prior to conducting demolition activities that might disturb the ACM.

4.0 LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS

As a result of previous renovations, there may be hidden materials, such as floor tile, sheet vinyl flooring, insulation, etc. These materials may be found in various areas hidden under existing flooring materials or in wall cavities. Any materials found during construction activities, either not addressed in this survey report, or similar to the ACM identified in this survey report should be assumed to be ACM until sampling and analysis documents otherwise.

Because of the hidden nature of many building components (i.e. within mechanical chases), it may be impossible to determine if all of the suspect building materials have been located and subsequently tested. Destructive testing in some instances is not a viable option. We cannot, therefore, guarantee that all potential ACM has been located. For the same reasons, estimates of quantities and/or conditions are subject to readily apparent situations, and our findings reflect this condition. We do warrant, however, that the investigations and methodology reflect our best efforts based upon the prevailing standard of care in the environmental industry.
