Pre-Demolition Regulated Building Materials Assessment and Cost Estimate irerracon <br /> 2600 Federal Avenue • Everett,Washington <br /> July 3, 2019 •Terracon Proposal No. P81197291 <br /> • Terracon will not access or climb onto steep roofs (greater than 4:12 slope) unless the <br /> Client provides safe anchor points in accordance with WAC 296-155-24510. For low slope <br /> roofs, Terracon will use a second inspector as required by Terracon's safety monitor <br /> system. The safety monitor system includes a second Terracon inspector on site to <br /> perform safety monitor duties while the primary inspector conducts the roof assessment <br /> and sampling. For low slope roofs, greater than 50 feet in width, a safety monitor and <br /> warning line system is required. <br /> • Inaccessible suspect roofing will be assumed ACM. <br /> • Submit bulk samples to an accredited National Institute of Standards and Technology <br /> National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NIST-NVLAP) laboratory for <br /> analysis by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) using the Environmental Protection <br /> Agency's (EPA's) recommended method (EPA/600R-93/116 (July 1993)). <br /> • The EPA National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) (40 CFR <br /> 61, Subparts A and M) also has a requirement related to assessment of suspect ACM in <br /> buildings. When the asbestos content of a friable material is visually estimated by PLM to <br /> be detectable but less than 10%, your firm may elect to (1) assume the amount is greater <br /> than 1% and treat the material as asbestos-containing or (2) require verification of the <br /> amount by the PLM point counting technique. If the results obtained by point counting and <br /> visual estimation are different, the point count result must be used. When no asbestos is <br /> detected by PLM, point counting is not required. Unless requested otherwise, we will <br /> recommend that (1) materials for which samples contain 1 to 10% asbestos be treated as <br /> ACM and (2) samples of friable materials containing <1% (trace) asbestos be further <br /> analyzed by point counting. <br /> ▪ Some materials that are found to contain 2% or less than 1% asbestos will be considered <br /> for further analysis by PLM point count analysis (400 points) per regulatory requirements. <br /> Terracon will review the laboratory results and recommend PLM point analysis, as <br /> appropriate. Terracon will not proceed with PLM point count analysis without authorization <br /> from the Client. PLM point count analysis, if authorized, will be an additional fee (see <br /> Compensation section of this Proposal). <br /> • Approximately quantify accessible ACM and assumed ACM. <br /> • Recommend in our report that suspect ACM that were not sampled and analyzed during <br /> the RBM assessment be assumed ACM until such time that the materials can be sampled <br /> and analyzed to confirm presences or absence of asbestos. <br /> In conducting the lead paint sampling, Terracon will: <br /> Provide an Industrial Hygienist to conduct paint chip sampling of paints that represent <br /> large painted surfaces or building components. Paints will be differentiated by surface <br /> color, substrate, and use. <br /> Responsive • Resourceful • Reliable 3 <br />
