ASBESTOS NORTHWEST LLC SURVEY REPORT A 513 E S T O S <br /> NORTHWEST <br /> 30620 Pacific Hwy S Suite 103 Federal Way,WA 98003 <br /> Tel:253 9414343 Fax:253 9414175 <br /> 3. Material Sampling Information <br /> Asbestos survey work performed by Asbestos Northwest meets inspection regulatory <br /> requirements enforced by federal, state, and local agencies, including Asbestos Hazard <br /> Emergency Response Act (AHERA), WAC 296-62-077 (WISHA) and 40 CFR Part 61 <br /> (NESHAP) and 29 CFR Part 1926.1101 (OSHA) <br /> Definitions <br /> Homogenous— Materials with the same appearance, texture, color, and which were <br /> applied during the same general construction period. <br /> Surfacing Material— Material that has been sprayed-on, troweled-on or otherwise applied <br /> to surfaces, such as acoustical plaster, texture and joint compound, and fireproofing <br /> materials on structural members. <br /> Thermal System Insulation — Material applied to pipes, fittings, boilers, breaching, ducts, <br /> and other interior structural components to prevent heat loss or gain. <br /> Miscellaneous Material — Building materials such as structural components, structural <br /> members or fixtures not included in surfacing and thermal insulation. <br /> Survey Methodology <br /> Before sampling began, inspectors documented the total surveyed area. A sketch of each <br /> space was created, and total square footage was roughly measured. The inspectors then <br /> determined the extent of each visible homogenous material throughout the survey area. <br /> Materials were classified as surfacing, thermal insulation, or miscellaneous material, and <br /> friability was assessed according to AHERA specifications. <br /> Materials were sampled according to 40 CFR 763.86. Depending on homogeneity, square <br /> footage, and material type, the proper number of samples needed to accurately assess the <br /> location and extent of asbestos was determined and collected. At the point of collection, <br /> samples were placed in an appropriate container and labeled. Location was noted on the <br /> building floor plan, and a description of the material was recorded with the label number. <br /> Sampling tools were then wiped clean to prevent contamination between samples. Any <br /> suspect debris was sealed. The samples were then counted, and their label numbers were <br /> recorded on a chain of custody form. The inspector then signed and released the form to <br /> the laboratory with the samples. Samples were analyzed in-house at Asbestos Northwest. <br /> Below is a list of all materials sampled. Appendix C contains the laboratory report and <br /> analytical results for each sample. <br /> 6 <br />
