1. 0 INTRODUCTION

This report presents the results of the limited asbestos survey conducted by Envirocare Consulting, Inc. for the above referenced project. The limited asbestos survey was conducted on March 4, 2016 by personnel trained as an asbestos inspector under the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and certified by the California Division of Industrial Relations, Department of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) as Asbestos Consultant (CAC) or Site Surveillance Technician (CSST). Envirocare representative Sam Lutchmiah (CAC No. 93-1152) conducted the survey. This document is prepared for the sole use of homeowner. and any regulatory agencies that are directly involved in this project. No other party should rely on the information contained herein without prior written consent of the building owner.

2.0 SCOPE OF WORK

The purpose of this inspection is to identify and assess accessible Asbestos Containing Construction Materials (ACCM) from the maintenance building pipes insulations.

On March 4, 2016, Envirocare inspected the subject building located at 1284 E. 7th Street.

Upland, California. Bulk sample was collected of suspect materials from representative locations and submitted to an independent laboratory for analysis. If asbestos was detected at any concentration within a sample of a construction material, it was concluded that the material contains asbestos. Suspect materials were also visually inspected to assess their condition.

3.0 PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

The subject site is located at 1284 E. 7th Street. Upland, California

4.0 SAMPLING METHODS

This was a limited asbestos survey; only the pipes insulations were sampled from the maintenance building.

The property was inspected for the presence of materials suspected of containing asbestos. The inspectors checked for suspect materials only on the requested areas that are planned for renovation, materials suspected of containing asbestos were sampled in accordance with the Asbestos School Hazard Emergency Response Act (40 CFR 763 Subpart E) as mandated by Cal/OSHA (Title 8 Section 1529) and South Coast Air Quality Management District (Rule 1403). Federal EPA AHERA protocols. All suspect materials were grouped and classified as homogeneous materials based on their color; texture and time of construction (i.e., similar appearing materials in different construction phases of a building are classified as separate materials) and samples representative of the materials were collected. Materials determined by the inspector to be non-suspect, such as wood, metal, glass, and fiberglass insulation, were not sampled.

Samples collection techniques were in accordance with EPA recommended methods. Material type, sample number, sample location and other pertinent information were recorded at the time of sampling. Each sample was placed in an airtight polyethylene bag labeled with a unique sample number and submitted to San Air Inc. Samples were analyzed in accordance with EPA Method 600/R-93/116, using polarized light microscopy (PLM) with dispersion staining and using visual area estimation to determine percent asbestos content. This method allows for the identification of the primary types of asbestos used in building materials. The lower limit of detection for this method is one percent. Samples containing less than one percent asbestos by PLM with visual area estimation are reported as Trace.

Upon analysis the analytical results are compared to government agency standards. Currently, both the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal-OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) define material that contains more than1% asbestos to be an asbestos containing material (ACM). In addition, Cal-OSHA defines any manufactured construction material containing more than one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) by weight as asbestos containing construction materials (ACCM). Cal-OSHA also requires notification and registration of the contractor when disturbing materials with more than 0.1% asbestos content and regulates worker protection whenever materials containing any detectable levels of asbestos are to be disturbed.

5.0 SUMMARY OF RESULTS

No Asbestos was found from the pipes insulations materials

6.0 RECOMMENDATIONS

No recommendation is needed.

The analysis and recommendations submitted in this report are based in part on the data obtained from specific and discrete sampling locations. However, the nature and extent of variations between the sampling locations may not become evident until renovation or demolition procedures commence. If potential variations (i.e. different building materials) are identified during renovation or demolition activities, it will be necessary to conduct additional bulk sampling.

ACCM in Damaged or Significantly Damaged Condition: These materials present the greatest risk for asbestos exposure. The asbestos containing drywall/joint compound, flooring materials, acoustic ceiling material, and all fire debris need to be removed following SCAQMD Rule 1403 Procedure 5. An asbestos abatement contractor registered with the Division of Occupational Safety and Health must perform any work that disturbs these materials.

ACCM in Good Condition: No action is recommended for these materials. Asbestos containing materials that are maintained in good condition present minimal risk for asbestos exposure. Note: If renovation or demolition activities are to affect these materials, an asbestos abatement contractor registered with the Division of Occupational Safety and Health should be contracted to perform all portions of the work affecting these materials.

Abbreviated EPA and SCAQMD definitions of the different categories of asbestos-containing materials as follows:

Friable – materials that can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to a powder (when dry) using hand pressure. These materials are easily damaged, and have a high potential to release airborne asbestos fibers when damaged. Maximum controls are required when disturbing or removing these materials.

Category I Non-friable – packing’s, gaskets, resilient flooring (but not including the fibrous backing of asbestos containing vinyl sheet flooring, and asphaltic roofing materials containing more than one percent asbestos. These materials normally have a lower potential to release airborne asbestos fibers, even when damaged, due to the nature of the matrix binding the fibers.

Minimum controls are required when disturbing or removing these materials.

Category II Non-friable – All non-friable materials other than Category I. These materials cannot be crumbled by hand pressure, but can be damaged or become friable by mechanical means, such as demolition equipment, and have a higher potential to release asbestos fibers when damaged.

Intermediate to high levels of controls are required for these materials.

Materials confirmed by point count as one percent asbestos or less are not regulated by the South Coast Air Quality Management District or the federal EPA (but significant California regulations, such as contractor licensing and certain Cal/OSHA requirements, still apply to these materials).

7.0 REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS

Current Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations require that most ACM be removed prior to demolition or renovation activities. Notification is required when removal or renovation involves greater than 160 square feet or 260 linear feet of ACM. Locally, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is responsible for enforcement of the Federal NESHAP regulation. The SCAQMD requires a ten-day notification for removal of all ACM if exceeding 100 square feet or linear feet.

Materials for which sample analysis by PLM results in greater than one percent asbestos (for any one sample collected from a homogeneous material) are classified as asbestos-containing material (ACM) under regulations promulgated by (but not limited to) the following agencies: federal EPA, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) California EPA (Cal-EPA), federal OSHA and Cal/OSHA. These materials are also classified as asbestos-containing construction material (ACCM) under Cal/OSHA and California Contractor Licensing Board (CCLB) regulations.

Any materials in this report for which sample analysis by PLM resulted in Trace asbestos are also classified as asbestos-containing material (ACM) under federal EPA and SCAQMD regulations and as ACCM under Cal/OSHA and CCLB regulations. The agencies use the following definitions:

§ Federal EPA: materials containing greater than one percent asbestos are ACM § SCAQMD: materials containing greater than one percent asbestos are ACM § Cal/OSHA: materials containing greater than 0.1% asbestos by weight are ACCM § CCLB: materials containing greater than 0.1% asbestos by weight are ACCM

Federal EPA and SCAQMD also require any material with a result less than 10% (including results of less than one percent) be confirmed by the point count method of PLM, or that the material is assumed to be ACM. For samples resulting in less than one percent by initial PLM analysis, the point count method of PLM would be required to determine if the materials could be classified as non-ACM under the EPA and SCAQMD definition. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) Bulk Quantitative analysis, which can resolve asbestos concentrations below one tenth of one percent (0.1%) by weight, can be used to determine if the materials are asbestos-containing construction materials under the Cal/OSHA and CCLB definition. TEM Bulk

Quantitative analysis was not performed for this asbestos survey. Consequently, all materials where asbestos was detected are classified as ACCM (assumed to contain greater than 0.1% asbestos). Selected materials were subjected to additional analysis using the point count method of PLM, where it was deemed cost-effective.

EPA and SCAQMD require (with limited exceptions) that asbestos in buildings be removed prior to renovation that would disturb the material. Work involving the disturbance of asbestos containing material also generally requires ten working days prior notification to SCAQMD and notification to Cal-OSHA. Materials containing asbestos should be removed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor prior to demolition. These materials should not be disturbed, except by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor who complies with all applicable regulations. For those materials confirmed by point count as less than one percent asbestos, contractor licensing is required to disturb these materials (still classified as ACCM) and certain aspects of Cal/OSHA and other regulations (including the notification requirements summarized below) continue to apply.

Under the California Health and Safety Code Section 25915 et. seq., notification about asbestos containing construction materials must be provided initially by the building owner within 15 days of receipt of the information to co-owners, tenants, employees, contract workers, or others who may encounter the material, and the notification must be provided annually thereafter.

Notification of new asbestos information (such as any ACM or ACCM identified in this report) must be provided within 15 days of the end of each 90-day period. Under Cal/OSHA regulation, this information must also be provided to contractors, sub-contractors or others whose work may disturb ACM or ACCM, prior to submission of bids and performance of work.

8.0 LIMITATION

This inspection was planned, developed, and implemented based on Envirocare previous experience in performing asbestos inspections. Envirocare utilized state-of-the-art-practices and techniques in accordance with regulatory standards while performing this inspection.

Envirocare's evaluation of the relative risk of exposure to asbestos identified during this inspection is based on conditions observed at the time of the inspection. Envirocare cannot be responsible for changing conditions that may alter the relative exposure risk or for future changes in accepted methodology. This inspection did not evaluate hidden, buried or unseen building or other materials. When future renovation or demolition activities are undertaken, Envirocare should be contacted if such are encountered for further evaluation. Any materials that were not sampled during the inspection must be presumed to contain asbestos until proven otherwise. Access and inspection of attic crawl spaces could be limited due to visibility, obstructions, health and safety hazards or structural issues (ceiling damage). All undocumented materials found in attic spaces should be presumed to contain asbestos until sampled and analyzed.

Envirocare did not test underground or disassemble building equipment; such as fans, ducts, and electrical equipment. Consequently, untested subsurface materials may be present or equipment may contain untested gaskets, packing’s, internal components, overspray of building materials and the like. If the aforementioned materials or any other untested suspect materials are encountered during the renovation or demolition project, they should be treated as asbestos-containing materials and not disturbed, unless sampling and analysis of the materials proves otherwise.

This report reflects conditions at the time of the site inspection. Envirocare has performed this asbestos survey in a substantial and workmanlike manner, in accordance with generally accepted methods and practices of the profession, and consistent with that level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by reputable environmental consultants under similar conditions and circumstances. No other representation, guarantee or warranty, express or implied, is included or intended in the survey report.

For detailed regulatory requirements in specific situations, Envirocare should be consulted, or the applicable regulations should be examined
