Regulated Building Material Inspection Wrerracon <br /> Port of Everett Marina - Equator Shed ;1 Everett, Washington <br /> June 22, 2023 a Terracon Project No. 81227459 <br /> Washington. Samples were analyzed via polarized light microscopy (PLM) in accordance with <br /> EPA/600/R-93/116. NVL Laboratories are accredited to perform PLM analysis by the National <br /> Institute of Standards and Technology National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program <br /> (NVLAP). <br /> 3.4 Asbestos Results <br /> Table 3.4-1 provides a list of suspect homogeneous material sample descriptions, material <br /> locations, and results for this sampling. Also indicated within the table is the AHERA <br /> classification of Surfacing (S), Thermal System Insulation (TSI), or Miscellaneous (M). Refer to <br /> the attached Figures for sample locations. Refer to the Appendix for photographs that are <br /> representative the homogenous materials. <br /> Table 3.4-1. Results of Bulk Sample Analyses <br /> Material No. Material Description Material Location Results <br /> 1 ■ Multi-layered red <br /> (M) asphaltic 3-tab roofing Roof of building ND (all layers) <br /> ■ Black mastic <br /> 2 8 Black asphaltic vapor <br /> Roof of building ND (all layers) <br /> (M) barrier <br /> 3 U White/grey sealant Edges of gutter system on <br /> ND (all layers) <br /> (M) with debris roof of building <br /> 4 3 Grey concrete with Base of building and below <br /> ND (all layers) <br /> (M) debris corner column posts <br /> ND: none detected, Material No.: homogenous material that is uniform in color, texture, general <br /> appearance, and construction and application date, M: Miscellaneous material per AHERA. <br /> If the analytical results indicate that all the samples collected per homogenous material do not <br /> contain asbestos, then the material is not considered an ACM. However, if the analytical <br /> results of one or more of the samples collected per homogenous material indicate that <br /> asbestos is present in quantities of greater than one percent as defined by the EPA, the <br /> homogeneous material is considered to be ACM regardless of other analytical results (unless a <br /> representative number of samples have been analyzed by PLM point counting as described <br /> below, and the results indicate the material contains less than one percent asbestos). <br /> Any material that contains greater than one percent asbestos is considered an ACM and must <br /> be handled according to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), EPA, and <br /> applicable state and local regulations. The EPA National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air <br /> Pollutants (NESHAP) 40 CFR 61, Subparts A and M has a requirement related to inspection of <br /> suspect ACM in buildings. When the asbestos content of a friable material is visually estimated <br /> by PLM to be detectable but less than ten percent, your firm may elect to (1) assume the <br /> amount is greater than one percent and treat the material as asbestos-containing or (2) <br /> require verification of the amount by the PLM point counting technique. If the results obtained <br /> by point counting and visual estimation are different, the point count result must be used. <br /> When no asbestos is detected by PLM, point counting is not required. <br /> Explore with us 3 <br />
