About this file
This document is an Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) and Hazardous Materials Inspection Report prepared by Red Cedar Consulting for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) for a property located in Alpena County, Michigan. The inspection was conducted on September 26, 2018, to comply with United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) requirements for demolition and renovation under the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). The inspection focused on a cabin and outhouse, with the primary objectives of identifying and documenting asbestos-containing and hazardous materials prior to potential demolition activities.
The inspection revealed friable asbestos-containing window glazing on four windows in the kitchen and main room, which requires professional abatement before any renovation or demolition. Additionally, hazardous materials were identified, including one smoke detector, two 1-gallon containers, one 4' fluorescent light fixture with ballast, and four 4' fluorescent bulbs. The report mandates that a Notification of Intent to Renovate/Demolish form must be filed with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality-Air Quality Division at least 10 working days prior to any activities, and all asbestos abatement must be performed by a certified contractor following OSHA and USEPA standards.

RE: Asbestos Containing Material and Hazardous Materials Inspection
Alpena County, MI
Parcel ID: Souva Cabin
Dear Ms. Conley:
Red Cedar Consulting has completed an asbestos-containing material (ACM) and hazardous materials inspection at the Souva Cabin Alpena County, Michigan (Subject Property). This inspection was completed at the request of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to comply with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) requirements for demolition and renovation set forth under the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP, 40 CFR Part 61). This inspection was also completed to comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) Asbestos Standards for Construction (29 CFR 1926.1101) which limits employee exposure to asbestos.
SUBJECT PROPERTY
The Subject Property is comprised of a residential parcel which contains a cabin and outhouse (the
Buildings).
VISUAL INSPECTION AND SAMPLING
Asbestos Containing Materials Inspection
Aaron Paquet of Red Cedar Consulting (Red Cedar), accredited State Of Michigan/EPA Asbestos
Building Inspectors (Accreditation Number A30955) who completed training per the Michigan Asbestos
Workers Accreditation Act 440, completed an inspection of the Subject Property on September 26, 2018 for suspected asbestos containing building materials.
This inspection, and subsequent sample collection was completed in accordance with the USEPA
Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) (40 CFR Part 763) assessment and sampling protocol.
Project No.: 18-1116
Michigan Department of Natural Resources
During the completion of the inspection, each area of the Subject Property was visually inspected for asbestos containing building materials (ACBM). Following the completion of the visual inspection, Red
Cedar staff identified each suspect area of friable and non-friable ACBM and sorted them into one of three homogenous categories for sampling purposes. AHERA defines friable as a material that when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. A homogenous area is defined by
OSHA as an area of surfacing, thermal system insulation (TSI) or miscellaneous material that is uniform in color and texture. Surfacing materials are most commonly found in sprayed-on, troweled-on or otherwise applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing materials on structural members. TSI refers to materials applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, ductwork, or other components to prevent heat loss or gain, or condensation. Any material that does not fall under the surfacing or TSI category, such as floor tile, drywall, and acoustical ceiling tile are placed into the miscellaneous materials category.
Following the completion of the visual inspection, Red Cedar staff identified the following materials as suspect ACBM:
• Asphalt Shingle
• Linoleum
• 1x1 Ceiling Tile
• Fiberboard
• Glazing
Red Cedar staff collected twelve samples of suspect ACBM separated into six distinct homogenous groups for laboratory analysis. Samples were collected and submitted to APEX Research Inc.
Laboratories (APEX) (Accreditation Number 102118-0) for laboratory analysis. Analysis was completed utilizing polarized light microscopy (PLM) which is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved method for analysis of bulk materials for asbestos. PLM analysis completed pursuant to method (EPA 600/M4-82-020) identifies asbestos fiber bundles by the visual properties displayed when the sample is treated with various dispersion staining liquids. The laboratory report completed following the sample analysis indicates if asbestos is present, and at what percentage along with a description and percentage of other fibrous and non-fibrous materials and sample color. Chain-of-custody documentation was followed from sample collection through shipping and receiving of the samples at the designated laboratory. The documentation assures that samples will meet the quality assurance/quality control measures defined by AHERA. The laboratory analytical report prepared by APEX for the twelve samples is included as Attachment A.
Hazardous Materials Inspection
On September 26, 2018 the Subject Property was also inspected for the presence of hazardous materials which include but are not limited to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and potential mercury containing equipment and any items or containers that may contain or be classified as a hazardous or regulated material. Each material, if identified, was documented along with the approximate location. Any materials identified as hazardous are included in Table 1.
INSPECTION RESULTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
During the completion of the asbestos inspection, twelve samples of suspect ACM were collected and are documented in Table 2 along with the Red Cedar sample number, description, friability, material type, ACM classification, sample location, material quantity and laboratory analytical results. A Site Diagram was prepared which provides the general building layout and sample locations and is included as
Attachment B.
ACM, as defined by the USEPA NESHAP is “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”.
Friable ACM is defined by NESHAP as any material containing more than 1 percent asbestos that, when dry, can be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Friable ACM is a concern due the ease of unintentionally disturbing the ACM which may result in “visible emissions” which is known as a Fiber Release Episode.
Non-friable asbestos-containing material is defined as “material containing more than 1 percent asbestos that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Non-friable
ACM’s are separated into Category I and Category II ACM. Category I ACM is any asbestos containing packing’s, gaskets, resilient floor coverings (vinyl floor tile and linoleum are examples of these) and asphalt roofing products. Category II ACM is stated by NESHAP as any material excluding Category I non-friable ACM such as drywall, plaster or fiberboard insulation.
Presumed Asbestos Containing Material
Presumed Asbestos Containing Materials (PACM) are suspect surfacing, TSI and miscellaneous materials found in buildings constructed prior to 1980 which are classified as and due to the age of the structure, are assumed to be ACM and do not require sample collection and analysis. OSHA dictates that PACM may be “rebutted” following a complete inspection pursuant to AHERA protocol.
No PACM was identified during the completion of this inspection. All suspect materials identified were sampled and analyzed for ACM.
Table 3 lists the location, material description, friability, condition, material type (surfacing, thermal or miscellaneous) and approximate quantity of all PACM documented at the Subject Property.
Table 4 provides a summary all ACM documented at the Subject Property which includes the material location, description, and approximate quantity.
Friable ACM’s
A window glazing sample collected from a window in the Main Room was found to contain up to 2% asbestos following analysis. The assessment to quantify the extent of this material identified four windows at the following locations that would fall into the same homogenous group. The locations of the windows are listed below:
• Kitchen (1 window 44” wide x 28” tall)
• Main Room (1 window 44” wide x 54” tall)
• Main Room (2 windows 44” wide x 36” tall)
Category I ACM
No Category I ACM was identified during the completion of this inspection.
Category II ACM
No Category II non-friable ACM was identified during the completion of this inspection.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Asbestos Containing Materials
Friable asbestos containing window glazing was identified on four windows throughout the Building.
The locations of these windows that should be abated prior to demolition/renovation activities are listed below:
• Kitchen (1 window 44” wide x 28” tall)
• Main Room (1 window 44” wide x 54” tall)
• Main Room (2 windows 44” wide x 36” tall)
Please note: The location of samples obtained during this inspection were in a random fashion and areas that were not identified during this inspection may be damaged or have become damaged since the inspection was completed. If Category I or Category II friable materials are discovered prior to or during the demolition/renovation process, these materials must be abated prior to commencement of any demolition/renovation activities at the Subject Property.
Hazardous Materials
Hazardous Materials identified at the Subject Property and documented in Table 1 which require proper removal and disposal consist of the following items:
• Smoke Detector (1)
• 1-Gallon Container Misc. (2)
• 4’ Fluorescent Light (Fixture and Ballast Only) (1)
• 4’ Fluorescent Bulb (4)
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
A Notification of intent to Renovate/Demolish form must be filed with the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality- Air Quality Division at least 10 working days prior to any renovation or demolition activities at a site.
The Notification of Intent to Renovate/Demolish form must also be completed and submitted to the MIOSHA-Asbestos Program whenever demolition, encapsulation and/or renovation activities at a site involving greater than ten lineal feet and/or fifteen square feet of ACM will be completed.
Regulated asbestos containing materials per NESHAP (40 CFR Part 61) which falls into any of the following categories are ACM’s that must be removed prior to any renovation/demolition activities at the
Subject Property.
• Friable asbestos material.
• Category I non-friable ACM that has become friable.
• Category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading.
• 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 renovation or demolition operations.
Asbestos abatement should only be performed by a certified asbestos abatement contractor licensed to complete abatement work. The contractor must also follow the standards and requirements set forth per the OSHA Asbestos Standards for Construction (29 CFR 1926.1101) and the USEPA NESHAP (40 CFR Part 61).

Presumed Asbestos Containing Materials (PACM) are suspect surfacing, TSI and miscellaneous materials found in buildings constructed prior to 1980 which are classified as and due to the age of the structure, are assumed to be ACM and do not require sample collection and analysis. OSHA dictates that PACM may be “rebutted” following a complete inspection pursuant to AHERA protocol.
No PACM was identified during the completion of this inspection. All suspect materials identified were sampled and analyzed for ACM.
Table 3 lists the location, material description, friability, condition, material type (surfacing, thermal or miscellaneous) and approximate quantity of all PACM documented at the Subject Property.
Table 4 provides a summary all ACM documented at the Subject Property which includes the material location, description, and approximate quantity.
Friable ACM’s
No friable ACM’s were identified during the completion of this inspection.
Category I ACM
No Category I ACM was identified during the completion of this inspection.
Category II ACM
Non-friable asbestos containing window flashing was identified on two windows throughout the Building.
The locations of these windows that should be abated prior to demolition/renovation activities are listed
• Shed South Wall (2 windows, 18 lin. ft.)
RECOMMENDATIONS
Asbestos Containing Materials
Non-friable asbestos containing window flashing was identified on two windows throughout the Building.
The locations of these windows that should be abated prior to demolition/renovation activities are listed
• Shed South Wall (2 windows, 18 lin. ft.)
Please note: Other different sized windows are located throughout the Building but these windows were assessed and found to be constructed either without window flashing or were sampled and found to not contain asbestos and therefore are not required to be removed.
Please note: The location of samples obtained during this inspection were in a random fashion and areas that were not identified during this inspection may be damaged or have become damaged since the inspection was completed. If Category I or Category II friable materials are discovered prior to or during the demolition/renovation process, these materials must be abated prior to commencement of any demolition/renovation activities at the Subject Property.
Hazardous Materials
Hazardous Materials identified at the Subject Property and documented in Table 1 which require proper removal and disposal consist of the following items:
• Pallet of Paint Cans (1)
• Thermostat (1)
• 8’ Fluorescent Light (Fixture and Ballast Only) (2)
• 8’ Fluorescent Bulb (4)

DISCLAIMER
Red Cedar Consulting performed destructive testing methods in an attempt to access and inspect all areas of the Building. Unfortunately, due to the age of construction along with multiple additions/renovations that may have been completed on the Building, additional inspections may be required if suspect ACM material not documented within this report is encountered during renovation/demolition activities.
This report was prepared at the request and for exclusive use by the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources and may not be reproduced or sold without written permission from Red Cedar Consulting.

Shaded/Bolded = Friable ACM and any Category I and Category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by the demolition or renovation activities that must be properly abated prior to commencement of any demolition/renovation activities.
Demolition/renovation activities completed with intact Category I non-friable ACM are regulated by OSHA and must be completed following the OSHA Asbestos Standards for
Construction (29 CFR 1926.1101) which limits employee exposure to asbestos.
Please note that a Negative Pressure Enclosure must be utilized during abatement when Site Conditions Warrant. Examples of these conditions include the abatement of Plaster and Vermiculite insulation, HVAC Duct Wrap in Poor Condition, and Air-O-Cell/Mag Pipe Wrap. Conditions outside of these should be assessed on a case by case basis during the Asbestos Abatement Contractors site walk and Work Plan Preparation.
