The site was surveyed for the presence of materials that are typically <br />suspect to contain asbestos. Prior to collecting any samples, distinct homogenous sampling areas <br />are ;dentified and a sampling strategy is developed- A homogenous sampling area can be <br />described as any suspect asbestos material that is similar in appearance and texture, having similar <br />installation. age, use and function. <br /> <br />Sampling locations are chosen to be representative of the homogenous sampling area, While an effort <br />is made to collect the samples randomly, samples are taken preferentially from as many rooms as <br />possible, and for occupied facilities, from areas that are the least visible. As these materials were <br />identified, bulk samples were obtained and placed into individual sample containers for transport to <br />the Apollo laboratory. Suspect materials were sampled in an effort to obtain an representative layers <br />that characterize their composition. All sample locations were identified by a numbered label. These <br />numbers directly correspond with the numbers listed in the analytical results tables, laboratory analysis <br />sheets and drawings. <br /> <br />Each suspected asbestos-containing material was classified as either friable or non..friable, Friable <br />materials as defined by the EPA may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to a powder by hand <br />pressure when dry. Friable 8sbestos-containing material is usually more hazardous than non-friable <br />asbestos-mntaining materials because it has greater potential to readily release airborne asbestos <br />fibers. <br /> <br />Materials that were hidden or not accessible were not evaluated as part of this survey. These <br />materials should be anatyzed if and when they are located during any renovation or demolition. <br />Materials visibly identifiable as non-asbestos (fibrous glass. foam rubber, wood, etc.) were not <br />sampled. <br /> <br />Bulk asbestos samples were analyzed by Apollo by polarized light microscopy using dispersion <br />staining techniques according to US EPA method 6001M4-82-020 incorporating vlsual estimates of <br />identified materiats percentages and Apollo's NVlAP accredited procedures, <br /> <br />Any material that contains greater than one percent of any type of asbestos is considered by the EPA, <br />OSHA and the State of Florida, an asbestos-containing material (ACM) and must be handled <br />according to regulations, <br /> <br />Apollo Environmental, lnc_ participates in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program <br />(NVLAP), and other quality control programs for asbestos analysis. <br /> <br />lnSttlr ServIcM .
