I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

An Asbestos Containing Materials Inspection was conducted on May 20th, 2025 within the planned demolition site located at 402 Theodore Street, Scranton, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the inspection was to determine if asbestos containing materials exist within the structure. Mr. William Sterling (PA Asbestos Inspector #057069) of Quad Three Group, Inc. conducted the inspection in conjunction with demolition scheduled at the structure.

As part of this asbestos inspection, the quantities and conditions of asbestos containing materials were identified. A total of four (4) bulk material samples were collected and analyzed.

Asbestos containing materials (ACM) were not identified on the accessible areas of the structure located at 402 Theodore Street, Scranton, Pennsylvania

Materials that were non-suspect or were sampled and through analysis found to not contain asbestos include exterior shingle siding and interior drywall material. Descriptions of all the material samples collected can be found in Appendix A.

The conclusions presented in this report are the result of the coalition, compilation and analysis of samples and other information obtained during the inspection. The results presented in this report represent the conditions present at the time of the inspection. Quad Three Group has no control over conditions or events that occurred following the date of inspection.

II. INTRODUCTION

On May 20 th, 2025, a limited asbestos inspection was performed within 402 Theodore Street, Scranton, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the inspection was to visually locate, identify and quantify asbestos containing materials (ACM) as they exist within the structure scheduled for demolition. The survey / inspection process included:

A. Inspecting the area to identify representative “suspected” asbestos-containing materials, types and sampling sites.

B. Collecting representative samples from any suspect material in order to identify all Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM). Examples of these materials include Pipe insulation, plaster, sheet-rock, floor tiles, linoleum, etc.

C. Sampling was performed by experienced, licensed personnel utilizing semi -destructive sampling techniques in an attempt to locate asbestos containing materials.

1.

D. Laboratory analysis of the materials sampled was performed at an accredited laboratory using the EPA recommended method of polarized light microscopy (PLM) for friable samples.

III. SURVEY AREA DISCUSSION

The property was comprised of a multiple story structure at 402 Theodore Street. Access to the interior of the structure was limited at the time of the inspection due to unknown structural concerns caused by collapsing foundations, collapsing stairs, and unsafe entrances / exits to the structure. The Inspection was limited to the accessible areas of the structure. Major structural components include concrete, brick, stone, block, and wood.

IV. MATERIALS SAMPLING AND ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGY

The building inspection was conducted by an inspector, qualified by experience, education and training in the recognition of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM). An initial walk through was conducted to identify suspect asbestos containing materials and to group them into homogeneous sampling areas.

Following the walkthrough, the number of samples required to determine the presence of ACM in the study areas was determined. Sample collection was performed with the intent to identify and locate asbestos containing materials and to group them into homogeneous material categories. This grouping allowed the inspectors to identify like materials within the facility to avoid over sampling or mischaracterization of an asbestos containing material.

The majority of the ACM samples were located utilizing non-destructive techniques. Some areas of ACM may still exist in areas that could not be accessed until complete interior demolition is completed.

Representative samples of each “suspect asbestos containing material” were collected utilizing approved federal and state methods. When samples were collected, the locations were noted. Measurements were taken to determine the approximate quantity of suspect material. The condition of the material was also documented at that time.

All material samples were analyzed via Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) as per EPA/600R- 93-116, July 1993.

The analytical results and locations for all samples collected can be found in Appendix A.

The samples were analyzed by International Asbestos Testing Laboratories of Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. IATL is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s “National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program” NVLAP (#1011500-0). IATL has developed and implemented an intra laboratory quality assurance/quality control program to ensure accuracy and consistency of results.

Asbestos is present if the material analyzed is greater than one percent (>1.0%) by weight.

This stipulation is outlined in the EPA Publication EPA 500/5-85-024, Section 2.2.2.2.

2.

V. INSPECTION FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Asbestos containing materials have not been identified on the accessible areas of the structure.

Asbestos containing materials are categorized as containing asbestos concentrations greater than one percent (>1.0%) by weight. Asbestos fiber concentrations less than one percent (<1.0%) by weight are still regulated under OSHA standard 1926.1101.

Below are the results of the building inspection. The results indicate the sample location, sample numbers, material and condition. Some of the materials were homogenized for sampling purposes. For example, once a homogeneous material was sampled, the sample result could be considered representative for that material throughout the residence. If one sample of a homogeneous material tested positive for asbestos, then the entire homogeneous material was classified as asbestos containing in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency Guidelines.

The conditions of the materials are designated as good, damaged or significantly damaged.

The following materials were found to contain more than one percent (>1.0%) asbestos by weight:

ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS WERE NOT IDENTIFIED ON THE ACCESSIBLE

AREAS OF THE STRUCTURE LOCATED AT 402 THEODORE STREET, SCRANTON, PA.

Analytical results for the materials sampled are located in Appendix A.

Friable materials are materials that can be crushed by applying hand pressure. Non-friable materials are materials that typically cannot be crushed by hand pressure (floor tiles/mastics). If grinding or pulverization were to occur during demolition, non-friable materials can be rendered friable.

Asbestos containing materials (friable and non-friable) located on the interior / exterior of a building, which will be disturbed during renovations / demolition, must be removed and disposed of by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor.

VI. ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIAL ABATEMENT COSTS

As part of this report, cost estimates have been provided to help assist the Scranton Office of Economic and Community Development to evaluate the costs associated with a renovation or demolition project. The cost estimates have been arrived at independently and have been inserted in this report solely for the use of the Scranton Office of Economic and Community Development. The following estimate has been prepared for budgetary purposes. All measurements are approximate. Contractors should independently verify the quantities of materials when preparing a cost estimate for removal.

The following applies:

Information Pertinent to this Report:

Analysis by US EPA 600 93-116: Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).

Certifications:

NIST-NVLAP No. 101165-0• NYSDOH-ELAP No. 11021• AIHA-LAP, LLC No. 100188•

Quantification at <0.25% by volume is possible with this method. (PC) Indicates Stratified Point Count Method performed. (PC-Trace) means that asbestos was detected but is not quantifiable under the Point Counting regimen. PC Trace represents a <0.25% amount. Analysis includes all distinct separable layers in accordance with EPA 600 Method. If not reported or otherwise noted, layer is either not present or the client has specifically requested that it not be analyzed (ex. analyze until positive instructions). Small asbestos fibers may be missed by PLM due to resolution limitations of the optical microscope. Therefore, PLM is not consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in non-friable organically bound (NOB) materials. Quantitative transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is currently the only method that can pronounce materials as non-asbestos containing.

Analytical Methodology Alternatives: Your initial request for analysis may not have accounted for recent advances in regulatory requirements or advances in technology that are routinely used in similar situations for other qualified projects. You may have the option to explore additional analysis for further information. Below are a few options, listed as the matrix followed by the appropriate methodology. Also included are links to more information on our website.

Bulk Building Materials that are Non-Friable Organically Bound (NOB) by Gravimetric Reduction techniques employing PLM and TEM: ELAP 198.6 (PLM-NOB), ELAP 198.4 (TEM-NOB) See additional information at the end of this appendix.

16) Note: This sample contains >10% vermiculite mineral. See Appendix for Recommendations for Vermiculite Analysis.

Recommendations for Vermiculite Analysis:

Several analytical protocols exist for the analysis of asbestos in vermiculite. These analytical approaches vary depending upon the nature of the vermiculite mineral being tested (e.g. un-processed gange, homogeneous exfoliated books of mica, or mixed mineral composites).Please contact your client representative for pricing and turnaround time options available.

iATL recommends initial testing using the EPA 600/R-93/116 method. This method is specifically designed for the analysis of asbestos in bulk building materials. It provides an acceptable starting point for primary screening of vermiculite for possible asbestos.

Results from this testing may be inconclusive. EPA suggests proceeding to a multi-tiered analysis involving wet separation techniques in conjunction with PLM and TEM gravimetric analysis (EPA 600/R-04/004).

For New York State customers, NYSDOH requires disclaimers and qualifiers for various vermiculite containing samples that direct analysis via ELAP198.6 and ELAP198.8 for samples that contain >10% vermiculite mineral where ELAP198.6 may be used to evaluate the asbestos content of the material. However, any test result using ELAP198.6 will be reported with the following disclaimer: “ELAP198.6 method does not remove vermiculite and may underestimate the level of asbestos present in a sample containing >10% vermiculite.”

Further information on this method and other vermiculite and asbestos issues can be found at the following: Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) www.atsdr.cdc.gov, United States Geological Survey (USGS) www.minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/, US EPA www.epa.gov/asbestos. The USEPA also has an informative brochure "Current Best Practices for Vermiculite Attic Insulation" EPA 747F03001 May 2003, that may assist the health and remediation professional. NYS customers please follow current NYSDOH ELAP requirements per policy on subject of surfacing and vermiculite, May 6, 2016, Testing Requirements for Surfacing Material Containing Vermiculite (https://www.wadsworth.org/sites/default/files/WebDoc/I198_8_02_2.pdf)

The property consisted of a single structure comprised of two floors, attic, and a basement at 1109 Poplar Street. The building primarily consists of plaster walls / ceilings, and wood, floors. Access was limited at the time of the inspection due to the unknown structural integrity of the building. Major structural components include concrete, brick, stone, block, and wood.

The building inspection was conducted by an inspector, qualified by experience, education, identify and locate asbestos containing materials and to group them into homogeneous structure to avoid over sampling or mischaracterization of asbestos containing materials.

The majority of ACM was located utilizing non-destructive techniques. Some areas of ACM may still exist in areas that could not be accessed until complete interior demolition is completed.
