ON JULY 18, 1996 ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES PROVIDED ASBESTOS
SURVEYING SERVICES TO DRAEGER CONSTRUCTION. THE ASBESTOS SURVEY ENCOMPASSED
SEVERAL ASPECTS, INCLUDING A VISUAL, SURVEY BY AN EPA ACCREDITED ASBESTOS
INSPECTOR.
PURPOSE AND SC_OPR OF SURVEY,
THE CONTRACTOR, DRAEGER CONSTRUCTION, REQUESTED A14 ASBESTOS SURVEY TO
DETERMINE THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ASBESTOS AND TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT
THAT MATERIAL TO AID IN REMOVAL OR BEFORE THE FACILITY IS RENOVATED.
APPLICABLE AROULATION9, ,
THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS, TITLE 8 CONTAINS A CLAUSE WHICH REFERS TO
EMPLOYEE NOTIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES PRESENT IN THE WORK AREA. THIS
CLAUSE, CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 110, SECTION 5194 OF THE CODE, REQUIRES THAT THE
EMPLOYER DEVELOP A WRITTEN HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM WHICH INCLUDES THE
METHOD EMPLOYERS PLAN TO USE TO INFORM ANY EMPLOYEES SHARING THE SAME WORK
AREA WITH ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE TO WHICH THE EMPLOYEES MIGHT BE EXPOSED
WHILE PERFORMING THEIR WORK. THE HAZARD COMMUNICATION PROGRAM SHALL INCLUDE
SUGGESTIONS FOR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE MEASURES.
DEMOLITION OF A BUILDING REQUIRES COMPLETE ABATEMENT OF ASBESTOS HAZARDS PRIOR
TO RAZING AS PER NCSHAPS ASBESTOS REGULATION 40 CFR SECTION 61.145-61.147 .
BAY AREA AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT, SUPPLEMENTAL NOTIFICATION, NES-HAP
REQUIREMENTS, THAT AN INDIVIDUAL TRAINED IN THE PROVISIONS OF REGULATION 40
• CFR PART 61, SUBPART M WILL BE ON SITE DURING THE DEMOLITION AND EVIDENCE THAT
THE REQUIRED TRAINING HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BY THIS PERSON AND WILL BE
AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS.
DISCUSSION OF RES LTB,
SOME OF THE BUILDING MATERIALS FOUND AT THE SITE HAVE BEEN CATEGORIZED AS
HOMOGENEOUS MATERIALS, AND WERE GROUPED TOGETHER POR SAMPLING. AN HOMOGENEOUS
MATERIAL IS A BUILDING MATERIAL THAT IS CONSISTENT IN VISUAL APPEARANCE AND
TEXTURE THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING, AND WAS INSTALLED IN EACH AREA AT ABOUT THE
SAME TIME. WHEN A SINGLE SAMPLE OF HOMOGENEOUS MATERIAL IS DETERMINED TO
CONTAIN ASBESTOS, THE ENTIRE HOMOGENEOUS MATERIAL 19 THEN DETERMINED TO BE
ASBESTOS.
SOME MATERIALS CAN BE VISUALLY IDENTIFIED BY AN EXPERIENCE INSPECTOR AS
ASBESTOS CONTAINING. THOSE MATERIALS WERE NOT SAMPLED, BUT INSTEAD WERE
'ASSUMED" TO CONTAIN ASDESTOS. EXPERIENCE ALLOWS US TO ESTIMATE THE ASBESTOS
CONTENT OF THOSE SAMPLES WHICH ARE ASSUMED TO CONTAIN ASBESTOS.
A TOTAL OF 6 SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED AT THE SITE DURING THE INSPECTION AND THEN
ANALYZED IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE STANDARDS USING IDENTIFICATION
AND QUANTIFICATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE "EPA INTERIM METHOD OF
DETERMINATION OF ASBESTOS IN BULK SAMPLES" (FEDERAL REGISTER, APPENDIX A,
5/7.7/82) . TO BE CLASSED As ASBESTOS, FIBERS HAVE TO FIT INTO ACCEPTED RANGES

MANDATORY REGULATION (40 CFR PART 61, SUBPART M) IS REQUIRED. ERT C'A14 PROVIDE

INDIVIDUAL IS TO IDENTIFY ANY SUSPECTED ASBESTOS LOCATED IN AREAS INACCESSIBLE

NOTE: IF DEMOLITION
IF A BUILDING IN QUESTION IS TO BE DEMOLISHED, THE ONLY OPTION AVAILABLE IS
REMOVAL. HISTORICALLY, OUR COORDINATION WITH REGULATORY AGENCIES AS WELL AS
THE DISPOSAL SITES INVOLVED HAVE ALLOWED SOME NON-FRIABLE ASBESTOS THAT IS NOT
TO BE RE-CYCLED TO BE BURIED WITHOUT FIRST BEING REMOVED. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT
A SUBSTANTIAL COST SAVINGS CAN BE REALIZED BY THIS COORDINATION. AREAS THAT
• ARE INACCESSIBLE FOR INSPECTION (E.G. CHASE, PIPE BEHIND WALLS, DUCT WORK TO
REGISTERS) ; MAY REQUIRE AN ABATEMENT PROFESSIONAL ON HAND AT THE TIME OF
DEMOLISHING IN THE EVENT THAT ADDITIONAL ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS ARE
FOUND, WE CAN PROVIDE THOSE SERVICES TO YOU OR THE DEMOLITION CONTRACTOR.
UNDERSTANDING:
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES MAKES NO REPRESENTATION AS TO THE
ASBESTOS CONTENT OF ANY MATERIALS LOCATED BEHIND WALL, FLOOR, CEILINGS OR
INACCESSIBLE AREAS. WRITTEN NOTIFICATION OF ALL DEMOLITION JOBS MUST BE MADE
BY THE DEMOLITION CONTRACTOR PRIOR TO DEMO TO ALL REGULATORY AGENCYS HAVING
JURISDICTION IN THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA.
ASBESTOS IN VINYL FLOOR TILES:
THE ANALYSIS OF VINYL FLOOR TILES BY PLM IS DIFFICVLT AT BEST. DURING
MANUFACTURING THE ASBESTOS FIBERS ARE INTENSELY GROUND AND REDUCED TO FIBRILS
• OF LESS THAN 10 MICRONS IN LENGTH. THE EPA PLM METHOD IS SUITABLE ONLY FOR
THE POSITIVE DETERMINATION OF TILE. IF A TILE IS FOUND TO BE NEGATIVE EITHER
TEM OR SEM ANALYSIS SHOULD BE USED TO CONFIRM THAT IT IS NEGATIVE. THIS IS
BECAUSE THE ASBESTOS FIBER SIZE IN TILE IS VERY SMALL (LESS THAN 10 MICRONS)
AND THE LIMIT OF RESOLUTION OF ANY PLM MICROSCOPE IS IN THE ORDER OF 10
MICRONS. FURTHERMORE, THE TILE FIBERS ARE CARRIED IN A POLYMER MATRIX THAT
HELPS OBSCURE THE FIBERS. OFTEN THE FIBERS ARE ROLLED UP INTO TIGHT SINUOUS
BALLS THAT MAKE DISPERSION STAINING ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE.

EXAMINATION OF BULK SAMPLES
FORAMS7O6
The following covers the asbestos Identification by polarized light microscopy.
The attached information indicates whether or not asbestos was detected and lists quantities of
fibrous asbestos and.hon-asbastos material and major constituents of the non-fibrous balance
found In each sample. Each sample Is analyzed for the six asbestiform materials; chrysotilo,
amosite, crocidolite, tremolite, actinolite and anthophyllite.
Identiffcation and quantifiations were performed in a000rdanoe with the "EPA Interim Method of
Determination of Asbestos In Bulk Insulation Samples" (Federal Register, Appendix A.
6/27/82). Reported asbestos percentages were estimated based on comparison to reference
samples provided by EPA.
Analysis is Initiated by gross examination of the sample using a sleromicroscopo. Any obvious
• fractions are noted and samples of each fraction are mounted in a refractive Index liquid suitable
for the sample, Preliminary evaluation to determine the possible species It asbestos present is
performed by morphology, birefringence, extinction characteristics and refractive Index
relative to the mounting liquid. To be classed as asbestos, fibers have to fit Into accepted ranges
of indices and birefringence determined by Immersion In matching refractive index liquids and
dispersion staining method.
Concurrently, the relative abundance of any asbestos material, other than fibers and the binders
and fillers Is determined. Quantities are based on areal coverage and thickness of various
species present. The lowest detection limit is ci%. in California, positive test results that
indicate the sample contained 0.1% (1/10 of 1%) or more asbestos, as per California Code of
Regulations, "Title 8, Section 341.6 et seq.-
Samples will be retained for six months unless otherwise instructed. it has been a ploasure
serving you, and we look forward to serving you again in the near future.
