SECTION 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

An Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM) survey was conducted on March 9, 2015 at Selective Window Areas at Bldg. 504 south side located at Fort Buchanan facilities in Guaynabo, Puerto Rico. The asbestos containing building materials survey was performed to identify material that contains asbestos fibers above allowable levels that could result in harm to construction personnel, workers and assist with the compliance of local, state and federal regulations.

1.2 SUMMARY OF PROPERTY EVALUATION

The project consisted in the evaluation of the selective areas of the aforementioned project.

The evaluation found that no asbestos containing materials were identified during the inspection of the areas.

SECTION 2: ASBESTOS CONTAINING MATERIALS SURVEY REPORT

2.1 OVERVIEW OF THE EVALUATION

This asbestos containing materials (ACM) survey is an inspection to identify the location of any ACM that exist within. Throughout the survey no asbestos containing materials were identified at the assessed areas.

The survey was conducted by Puerto Rico EQB and United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) accredited Inspectors qualified by experience, education and training in the recognition of potential ACM and approved bulk sampling techniques. Some areas may not have been directly accessible due to the physical hazards encountered within. In these areas assumptions based on findings in other areas were made whenever possible. These assumptions are duly noted as such in this report.

The survey was performed in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency recommended procedures found in EPA-450/2-78-014 (Parts I and II), EPA 560/5-85-024, and 40 CFR 763. These procedures call for the visual inspection of the building for suspect friable material and collection and analysis of representative samples of suspect material.
