PROJECT SUMMARY

Tara Management Consulting (TMC) performed an asbestos material survey of Building 855 at Camp James A Garfield at 8451 State Route 5 in Ravenna, Ohio. The asbestos material survey was performed to identify potential asbestos exposure concerns prior to demolition of this structure as required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) NESHAPS. The sampling was performed in accordance with AHERA 763.86 sampling protocol.

Mr. Daniel C. Peders performed an inspection of all areas on April 22, 2024. Mr. Peders identified the following:

Friable Asbestos-Containing Materials - Friable asbestos is strictly regulated and must be removed prior to building demolition and/or equipment dismantling. There were no Friable asbestos materials identified for this structure.

Non-friable asbestos is materials that cannot be crumbled by hand pressure when dry and is divided into two categories: Category I and Category II. There were no Friable asbestos materials identified for this structure.

Category I non-friable material is material such as floor covering and roof shingles that are not expected to release significant amounts of asbestos fibers during normal demolition activities. These materials are also strictly regulated and can remain in place as long as it will not be subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting or abrading. There were no Category I non-friable asbestos materials identified for this structure.

Category II non-friable material is material such as asbestos-cement products, drywall or plaster that is expected to release significant amounts of asbestos fibers during normal demolition activities. Depending on the potential for fiber release these materials may be required to be removed prior to demolition if the material is expected to release significant fibers. There were no Category II non-friable asbestos materials identified for this structure.

Table 1 in the report provides a summary of estimated quantities. Table 2 in Appendix A provides summary of the asbestos-containing materials and the analytical results.

SCOPE OF WORK

TMC was retained by Eurofins Environment Testing North Central, LLC (Eurofins) to perform an asbestos material survey of the Building 855 at Camp James A Garfield at 8451 State Route 5 in Ravenna, Ohio. Ohio EPA Certified Asbestos Hazard Evaluation Specialist, Mr. Daniel C. Peders (CAHES #31134), visually inspected all accessible areas of these structures.

INSPECTION'S LIMITATIONS

The results of this survey are based on the structure identified by Eurofins Environment Testing North Central, LLC and identified in the red in the image to the right. All areas were accessible by the inspector.

The structure is the balance room for the weight vehicle weight scales and the date of construction was not known at the time of the survey. The total square footage is approximately 100 square feet.

RESULTS

All accessible friable and non-friable materials in the identified functional spaces were sampled and submitted for analysis. A total of 5 homogeneous materials were noted during the inspection. A total of 10 bulk samples were collected from these materials.

The bulk samples were analyzed by Amianthus Labs LLC laboratory that is enrolled in the American Industrial Hygiene Associations Bulk Asbestos Proficiency Analytical Testing (BAPAT) Program, laboratory ID number 198622, for the analysis of asbestos bulk material samples.

All samples were analyzed using Polarized Light Microscopy with Dispersion Staining (PLM/DS) techniques in accordance with the methodology approved by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The percentage of asbestos present in the samples was determined on the basis of visual area estimation. As set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations, 40 CFR Part 763, Appendix A to Subpart F, Section 1.2 and 1.7.2.4, the lower limit of reliable detection for asbestos using the PLM method is approximately one percent (1%) by volume.

When "None Detected" (ND) appears in this report, it should be interpreted as meaning no asbestos was observed in the sample material above the reliable limit of detection for the PLM method (1%). Material reported to contain 1% or less of asbestos by point count analysis is not considered hazardous by U.S. EPA, and therefore, do not require removal and disposal prior to demolition or renovation.

The following table summarizes the type of ACM identified in this limited survey:

Material Description Estimated Quantity

No Asbestos Detected

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) requires that Regulated Asbestos Containing Material (RACM) that will be disturbed during demolition be removed. RACM is defined as; (a) friable ACM;

(b) category I non-friable ACM that has become friable; (c) category I non-friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding cutting or abrading; or (d) category II non-friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operation.

Based on the understanding that these structures will be demolished, EPA NESHAP regulation requires the removal of all RACM prior to demolition or renovation activities that may disturb these materials.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding the above information, please contact the undersigned at 216-346-7694.

BULK SAMPLE ANALYSIS SUMMARY

Sample Identification:

Ten (10) samples from the Building 855 at 8451 State Route 5 Ravenna, Ohio were submitted by Daniel C. Peders.

These bulk samples were delivered to Amianthus laboratory in Berea, Ohio for asbestos content determination.

Analytical Method:

Analytical procedures were performed in accordance with the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Recommended Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Samples by Polarized Light Microscopy and Dispersion Staining (PLM/DS) (EPA-600/M4-82-020, EPA-600/R-93-170). This report relates only to those samples actually analyzed and may not be indicative of other similar appearing materials existing at this, or other sites.

Quantification of asbestos content was determined by Calibrated Visual Estimation.

The EPAs requires that friable samples with analytical results of 10% or less asbestos, by visual estimation, be treated as asbestos-containing material unless these quantities are verified using the point counting method. The point counting method is a systematic technique for estimating concentration, also using PLM. The point counting method, however, does not increase the analyst’s ability to detect fibers.

In any given material, fibers with a small diameter (<0.25µm) may not be detected by the PLM method. Floor tile and other resinous bound material may yield a false negative if the asbestos fibers are too small to be resolved using PLM. Additional analytical methods may be required.

Analysis Method: EPA 600/R-93/116

Comments: PLM is not consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in floor coverings and similar non-friable organically bound materials. Before this material can be considered or treated as non-asbestos containing, confirmation must be made by quantitative TEM. (PC) Indicates Stratified Point Count Performed. Method not performed unless stated. Quantification at <0.25% by volume is possible with this method. (PC-Trace) represents this limitation of quantitation.

(PC-Trace) means that asbestos was detected but is not quantifiable under the Point Count regimen.
