Property description: The subject property is approximately 2268 sq feet, originally built in 1910, effective year mid 80's. The outside is wood cedar siding, composition roof, sheet vinyl windows. The inside of the structure is hardwood flooring, wall to wall carpet, tile and sheet vinyl floors. Heat is gas forced air. Summary - Based on the results of the sampling performed on the subject property and the description of the work that is to be performed there are NO identified building materials inside or outside of the property containing asbestos materials (PACM): Lab Analysis Lab Code: All samples included in this report were transported to Washington Asbestos Testing Lab # 60004-0 located at 11200 Kirkland Way #340, Kirkland WA 9803 Seattle Asbestos of Washington page 2 Purpose of Survey: A hazardous material inspection is intended to investigate structure for potential ACM, sample and provide accurate results to the customer in accordance with 40 CFR 763.86, the EPA regulations for Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Sample test results will be displayed in the survey. Depending on the material sampled, there may be multiple layers within each sample. These layers you will find broken out within each sample on the results report. Each layer of the sample is prepared onto individual slides to be analyzed to provide the most accurate result. Asbestos Material Note: Per Labor and Industries For any activity involving greater than 48 square feet or ten linear feet of ACM that may release asbestos fibers into the air (demolition/renovation), written notification must be given to the L&I regional office by the qualified contractor no later than 10 days prior to the start of the project (Washington Administrative Code[WAC] 296-65-020). For activities impacting materials with less than 1 percent asbestos content, the contractor will need to follow work practice requirements as given in WAC 296-62-07712(2), particularly use of wet, non -aggressive methods and prompt clean-up. Vacuums used must be HEPA filtered. Worker training must include two-hour asbestos awareness training. Respiratory protection must be based on overall dust levels. A competent person o the site must be assigned and trained under requirements of WAC 296-62-07728. Sampling Methodology: Asbestos is a generic name given to a number of naturally occurring hydrated mineral silicates that possess a unique crystalline structure, are incombustible in air, and are separable into fibers. Asbestos includes asbestiform varieties of chrysotile (serpentine); crocidolite (riebeckite); amosite (cum mingtonite-grunerite); anthophyllite; tremolite, and actinolite. Inhalation of asbestos fibers has been linked to diseases such as asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. Seattle Asbestos of Washington page 3 Friability' Fri -ability ACM is any material containing more than one percent asbestos (as determined by polarized light microscopy) that, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Non -Friable ACM is any material containing more than one percent asbestos (as determined by Polarized Light Microscopy) that, when dry, cannot be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Under the Asbestos NESHAP, non -friable ACM is divided into two categories. Category I non -friable ACM are asbestos -containing resilient floor coverings (commonly known as vinyl asbestos tile (VAT), asphalt roofing products, Packaging and gaskets. These materials rarely become friable. All other non -friable ACM are considered category II non -friable ACM. Limitations: There are limitations to any survey. First, surveys are designed to have the inspector take samples at random when following the method. This is important to understand because it is impossible to sample every square inch of a structure. Areas that are not addressed in this survey must be considered homogeneous materials, unless requested in an additional survey. Excluded from the survey are toilets, hot water tanks, light fixtures, HVAC units, and all other appliances that may still be present in the building at the time of the survey but will be removed before the demolition of the structure. Other limitations may be when the inspector cannot access areas during the survey. This could be any multitude of reasons. For example, in cases where destructive sampling is not allowed and the inspector is unable to sample beneath many layers of flooring, or behind walls, structures or tight spaces. This report is in request and for exclusive use of the client and their interested parties. The inspection and report follow the general guidance recommended by AHERA, and no other warranty, expressed or implied, is made. Any unauthorized use or use of this report beyond the scope is strictly prohibited. Sampling locations were chosen to be representative of the homogeneous materials. Samples of friable surfacing material were collected in a statistically random manner. In general, the EPA random sampling protocol outlined in the EPA publication, "Asbestos in Buildings: Simplified Sampling Scheme for Friable Surfacing Materials" (EPA 560/5-85-030a, October 1985) was followed. Samples locations for non -friable materials were in a manner that would best represent the sampling group, while minimizing potential fiber releases. Seattle Asbestos of Washington page 4 All asbestos sampling performed by Seattle Asbestos of Washington is carried out pursuant to 40 CFR 763.86 as required by both AHERA and ASHARA. All Samples will be collected by an AHERA accredited asbestos building inspector and analyzed by polarized light microscopy by a laboratory accredited by the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). All asbestos samples are taken under wet -removal method to limit the likelihood of airborne particles being released. Destructive sampling was limited to accessible materials. No samples were taken that would cause damage to the structural integrity of the building or endanger the inspector. If any materials not covered in this report are discovered when work begins, they are to be assumed to contain asbestos until further testing has proven otherwise. Notes and Terms: Homogeneous Sampling Area- An area or areas of suspected asbestos containing building materials which appears similar throughout in color, texture, and date of material application. Thermal System Insulation -Material applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breechings, tanks, ducts, or other interior structural components to prevent heat loss or gain, or water condensation, or for other purposes. Surfacing Material- Material that is sprayed -on, troweled -on, or otherwise applied to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster on ceilings and fireproofing material on structural members, or other materials on surfaces for acoustical, fireproofing, or other purposes. Miscellaneous Material- Interior building material on structural components, structural members or fixtures, such as floor and ceiling tiles, and does not include thermal system insulation or surfacing materials. Warranty Seattle Asbestos of Washington warrants that the findings contained herein have been prepared in general accordance with accepted professional practices as applied by similar professionals in the community at the time of this report preparation. Changes in the state of the art or in applicable regulations cannot be anticipated and have not been addressed in this report. Seattle Asbestos of Washington page 5 The field and laboratory results reported herein are considered sufficient enough in detail and scope to determine the presence, of accessible or exposed suspect containing building materials in the facility at the time of inspection. Test results are valid only for the materials tested. There is a distinct possibility that conditions may exist that could not be identified within the scope of survey or that were not apparent during the site visit. This inspection covered only those areas that were exposed or physically accessible to the inspector. The inspection is limited to the information available from the client at the time it was conducted. No other guarantee warranties are implied or expressed.
