Purpose of this investigation The purpose of this inspection was to determine the presence and quantity of ACM’s.

KEY DEFINITIONS

ACM Asbestos containing material. ACM’s fall into 1 of 3 types. See Appendix C-1

Friable Can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the pressure of an ordinary human hand.

Non-Friable Cannot be pulverized under hand pressure.

Potentially Can become friable if disturbed.

Friable

Category Refers to the two (2) types of Non-Friable ACM’s. See Appendix C-1

Hazardous Non-asbestos materials that may be hazardous, and may require special handling Materials and disposal requirements.

Room The room testing occurred. Rooms are identified by a number because room usage may change (i.e., a bedroom may become an office). Some rooms may be labeled as functional spaces (FS).

Inaccessible These are locations around the property that could not be examined because the Area’s investigator could not gain access to them. These include areas that are unsafe to enter, locked rooms, areas with too much debris/clutter, etc.

Quantity Materials are usually quantified in square feet (SF), cubic feet (CF), linear feet (LF), cubic yards (CY), or units.

Executive Summary

After a thorough investigation of the premises was conducted, and samples were collected and analyzed, it was determined that there were NO HAZARDOUS ACM’s (asbestos containing materials) present in this building.

In addition, other hazardous materials (non-asbestos materials that may be hazardous, and may require special handling and disposal requirements) were found and are located in:

Cars/Trucks – EA 2, 4

Chemicals – FS 2

Refrigerator – FS 1

Stove – FS 1

Dryer – FS 1

Finally, some areas were inaccessible and were unable to be examined for ACM. These areas include:

Interior House – Due to being unsafe

Note: If renovations are not being done in a specific room that was found to have positive ACMs you do not need to remove that material as long as it is intact.

Before renovation or demolition activities can begin, and depending on the ACM found and the condition that it is in, it may be necessary that friable or potentially friable ACMs be removed.

C-1: Asbestos Education

ASBESTOS

Asbestos is a generic term encompassing various fibrous mineral silicates from 2 groups:

Serpentine – “curly fibers” and layered structure o Chrysotile (hydrated magnesium silicate) – about 95% of asbestos in US buildings

Amphibole – “needle-like” structure o Amosite (iron magnesium silicate) – 2nd most commonly used asbestos o Crocidolite (sodium-iron silicate) o Tremolite (calcium-magnesium silicate) – potential contaminate in vermiculite o Anthophyllite (another iron-magnesium silicate) o Actinolite (calcium-magnesium-iron silicate)

CATEGORIES OF ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS

The EPA identifies three (3) categories of ACM used in buildings:

Surface Materials – ACM sprayed or troweled on surfaces (i.e. walls, ceilings, etc.) for acoustical, decorative, or fireproofing purposes (i.e. plaster and fireproofing insulation).

Thermal System Insulation (TSI) – Insulation used to inhibit heat transfer or prevent condensation on pipes, boilers, ducts, HVAC systems, etc. This includes pipe lagging, pipe wrap, block, batt, cements, “muds”, ropes, gaskets, etc.

Miscellaneous Materials – Other, largely non-friable products, that include floor tile, ceiling tile, roofing felt, wall board, outdoor siding, etc.

CHARACTERISTICS OF ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS

ACMs are characterized in one of two ways. They are either:

Friable – when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the pressure of an ordinary human hand.

Non-Friable – cannot be pulverized under hand pressure.

o Category I – includes asbestos packings, gaskets, resilient floor covering, and asphalt roofing products.

o Category II – any non-friable ACM not included in Category I such as mastic, cementitious materials, and ceiling tiles.

ASBESTOS EXPOSURE

Airborne asbestos contamination in buildings is a significant environmental problem. It has been determined and documented that inhalation of significant quantities of airborne asbestos fibers over an extended period of time can have serious health effects.

ETC Job #: 291073 Page 16 of 22

In order to assess any potential health risks within a building, it is necessary to conduct a survey of the building to identify and locate any friable or non-friable asbestos containing materials (ACM) that may be located within.

If and when ACM are located within a building, the ACM must then be evaluated and assessed to determine whether any immediate health hazards are presented to the building occupants. It must be noted that the presence of asbestos in a building does not necessarily mean that the health of the building occupants is endangered. As long as an ACM remains intact (in good condition and is not disturbed, damaged, or mutilated) exposure of asbestos fibers to the air is unlikely.

HEALTH EFFECTS OF ASBESTOS EXPOSURE

The potential health hazards associated with exposure to asbestos results from inhalation of airborne fibers; small asbestos fibers can pass readily through the upper respiratory tract and be deposited in the terminal bronchioles of the lung. There they can produce a local irritation which the body attempts to neutralize by initiating a tissue response. The resulting body response is encapsulation of the fibers and consequent formation of "asbestos nodules."

Common asbestos related diseases include:

Lung Cancer

Mesothelioma

Asbestosis

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

C-2: Asbestos Testing

SAMPLING

Representative bulk samples of suspected ACBMs were randomly collected within each building area. The materials sampled were broken down into distinct homogenous (similar) materials.

Homogenous material determination was based on the following criteria:

Similar physical characteristics (same color and texture, etc.)

Application (sprayed-on, troweled-on, assembly into a system etc.)

Material function (Thermal insulation, floor tile, wallboard system etc.)

While the NESHAP regulation allows for the taking of one sample of select non-friable materials, the OSHA standard suggests a minimum of three samples of each homogeneous material be taken. This is a better approach due the potential errors in the analytical method used.

To provide the most accurate information possible and be sure of our results, ETC may choose to take three samples of each material.

If materials are being assumed to contain asbestos, they must be treated as asbestos containing, even if they are not. This can lead to significantly increased costs for the building owner.

In general, ETC only assumes materials to be asbestos when sampling them will ruin their integrity (i.e. fire doors) or when they are too dangerous to sample (i.e. live electrical lines).

ETC Job #: 291073 Page 17 of 22

FOLLOW-UP INSPECTIONS

In some cases, ETC may identify areas where destructive access was required to review materials that were not readily accessible. In these cases, a follow-up inspection may be required once access to these areas is granted in order to assess these previously inaccessible areas.

Additionally, materials that were deemed to be positive for asbestos content during the initial survey will need to be quantified and have their conditions assessed in a follow-up inspection.

PLM ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY

Bulk samples submitted for Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) analysis were analyzed utilizing the Environmental Protection Agency’s Test Method: Method for the determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials (EPA 600/R-93/116, July 1993). Additional treatment and tests may be required to accurately define composition (e.g. ashing, fiber extraction, acid dissolution, TEM).

Analysis was performed by visual and stereoscopic examination of the bulk sample followed by microscopic examination and quantification using a polarized light microscope. The samples were analyzed for asbestos (chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, anthophyllite, and actinolite/tremolite), fibrous non-asbestos constituents (mineral wool, cellulose, etc.) and non-fibrous constituents.

According to NESHAP requirements, any bulk sample that has an asbestos content above 0% but below 10% should be point counted for final determination of percentage. Please note, that when a contract DOES NOT include point counting as defined in NESHAP, and additional analysis is desired, ETC can send any samples in this range for point counting. However, this will require additional charges for analysis. Therefore, for any samples in the range above 0% but below 10%, these results can only be considered estimates.

INTERPRETATION OF INSPECTION RESULTS

A material is considered by the EPA, OSHA, and other federal, state, and local agencies to be asbestos-containing if at least one sample collected from the homogenous material has asbestos fibers present in a concentration greater than one percent (>1 %).

However, materials with concentrations greater than zero percent (0%) but less than or equal to one percent (≤1%), will now be considered regulated under certain sections of the OSHA Asbestos in Construction Standard (29 CFR 1926.1101).

The standard contains numerous work practice requirements and prohibitions which apply, regardless of the exposure levels. However, only two of the requirements and three of the prohibitions must be observed in the case of work activities involving installed construction materials that do not contain >1% asbestos. Those work practice requirements and prohibitions that must be observed regardless of the exposure levels and of the percentage of asbestos in the installed construction materials are:

29 CFR 1926.1101(g)(1)(ii), which requires: wet methods, or wetting agents, to control employee exposures during asbestos handling, mixing, removal, cutting, application, and cleanup, except where employers demonstrate that the use of wet methods is infeasible

ETC Job #: 291073 Page 18 of 22 due to, for example, the creation of electrical hazards, equipment malfunction, and, in roofing, except as provided in paragraph (g)(8)(ii)2 of this section;

29 CFR 1926.1101(g)(1)(iii), which requires: prompt clean-up and disposal of wastes and debris contaminated with asbestos in leak-tight containers except in roofing operations, where the procedures specified in paragraph (g)(8)(ii)3 of this section apply;

29 CFR 1926.1101(g)(3)(i), which prohibits: high-speed abrasive disc saws that are not equipped with point-of-cut ventilator or enclosures with HEPA filtered exhaust air;

29 CFR 1926.1101(g)(3)(ii), which prohibits: compressed air used to remove asbestos, or materials containing asbestos, unless the compressed air is used in conjunction with an enclosed ventilation system designed to capture the dust cloud created by the compressed air; and

29 CFR 1926.1101(g)(3)(iv), which prohibits: employee rotation as a means of reducing employee exposure to asbestos.

There are also some other provisions that apply to work activities involving installed construction materials even where the material does not contain >1% asbestos. However, if neither asbestos PEL is exceeded, only the following few provisions apply:

29 CFR 1926.1101(f)(2)(i), the provision for establishing that neither asbestos PEL is exceeded: Each employer who has a workplace or work operation covered by this standard shall ensure that a "competent person" conducts an exposure assessment immediately before or at the initiation of the operation to ascertain expected exposures during that operation or workplace. The assessment must be completed in time to comply with requirements which are triggered by exposure data or the lack of a "negative exposure assessment," and to provide information necessary to assure that all control systems planned are appropriate for that operation and will work properly;

29 CFR 1926.1101(f)(6)(i), a provision covering the observation of monitoring: The employer shall provide affected employees and their designated representatives an opportunity to observe any monitoring of employee exposure to asbestos conducted in accordance with this section;

29 CFR 1926.1101(f)(5)(i), a provision covering employee notification of monitoring results: The employer shall notify affected employees of the monitoring results that represent that employee's exposure as soon as possible following receipt of monitoring results;

29 CFR 1926.1101(f)(5)(ii), another provision covering employee notification of monitoring results: The employer shall notify affected employees of the results of monitoring representing the employee's exposure in writing either individually or by posting at a centrally located place that is accessible to affected employees; and

29 CFR 1926.1101(n)(2)(i)-(iii), a set of provisions covering recordkeeping for measurements of exposures to airborne asbestos.

There are numerous additional provisions of the standard that apply to work activities involving installed construction materials even where the material does not contain >1% asbestos if at least one of the asbestos PELs is exceeded.

C-3: Other Hazardous Materials and Vermiculite

Hazardous Materials

Additionally, information showing other hazardous materials (above the household quantity limitations) found at the site is included in Table 2. This lists non-asbestos materials that may be hazardous, and may require special handling and disposal requirements. Items that might be in this category include things like tires, mercury switches, florescent lighting tubes, halogen lights, Freon in refrigeration units, pesticides, herbicides, paints, solvents, etc.

However, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that addresses hazardous wastes, there is residential household quantity exclusion. Therefore, these materials will only be listed in this chart if they are present in quantities larger than what would be expected in a normal household. For instance, if the home was a farm and had a 55-gallon drum of pesticide present, this would be listed in Table 2. On the other hand, if there were a few pesticide containers present as would be found in most homes, these materials would not be listed.

Vermiculite

The EPA is informing the public to consider all vermiculite insulation as ACM, and is doing so because the current method is not accurate and yields false negatives when used on vermiculite.

However, the current standard PLM and point count methods satisfy the minimum EPA regulatory requirements for analysis of vermiculite loose fill insulation under 40 CFR part 61, subpart M. The EPA plans on publishing an analysis method that will be more accurate for vermiculite insulation. Upon its publishing, this method will supersede the current methods and continue use of the old methods will be subject to enforcement action.

C-5: Regulatory Information

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set the standard for asbestos surveys in the AHERA regulations (40 CFR Part 763) which required surveys of all school buildings in the United States.

Additionally, the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) has also passed regulations affecting the performance of asbestos surveys in buildings. According to current OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1926.1101), building owners must inform occupants of the location, quantity and condition of confirmed or assumed asbestos containing materials within all public and commercial facilities.

In addition to these regulations regarding surveys, facility owners and operators are also required to insure that employees or occupants of their buildings are not exposed to unsafe levels of airborne asbestos. Allowable fiber levels as defined by the regulatory agencies and standards below dictate which levels are applicable in which facilities:
