4 ACES RESTORATION LLCSURVEY REPORT <br />+AA'i~ <br />200352161" St M98100 Des Moines, WA 98198 M 4 <br />Tel: 206125-9409 VAN <br />4. Asbestos Containing Material <br />A homogenous material is considered ACM (Asbestos Containing Material) if one or more <br />samples of the material are found to have greater than 1 % asbestos. Analysis can result in <br />both positive and negative conclusions in materials containing less than 10 % asbestos, or <br />materials that have very fine asbestos fibers, have been hand mixed, or have asbestos <br />fibers tightly bound in the matrix; therefore, EPA recommends a minimum of three samples <br />be analyzed by PLM for these types of materials. All materials that were sampled during <br />the inspection were analyzed under PLM, EPA Method 600/R-93/116. <br />Laboratory results show that two of the seven samples taken contained asbestos. <br />5. Conclusions <br />None of the asbestos bulk samples taken came back positive for asbestos containing <br />material. <br />Further materials may be identified during the renovation process that would warrant <br />testing. <br />Any identified asbestos containing material must be abated before demolition can <br />continue. A Certified Asbestos Abatement Contractor must carry out abatement. <br />Different materials require different abatement processes depending on the friability, type <br />of asbestos, and amount of asbestos present. It is important that materials are treated by a <br />Certified Asbestos Abatement Contractor. <br />
