Ms. Sarah Slaughter Page 2 <br /> Atwell, LLC November 4, 2010 <br /> ACM. Destructive methods are recommended for facilities slated for significant renovation or <br /> demolition. <br /> Additional limitations may exist for both destructive and non - destructive sampling methods. Certain <br /> portions of the building may be physically inaccessible, as a result of electrical, mechanical, <br /> structural, or other hazards that exist in portions of the structure at the time of the survey. <br /> Some areas that may be deemed inaccessible include: <br /> • Below grade and beneath slab <br /> • Within electrical panels, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning machinery and <br /> associated duct work <br /> • Within fire doors <br /> REVIEW OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS <br /> A survey to locate asbestos - containing materials usually begins with a review of building plans and <br /> specifications to determine the type of construction used and the materials specified. Original <br /> drawings and specifications were not available for review. A previous asbestos report was also not <br /> available for review; therefore, ECS relied on visual observations for the identification of major <br /> classes of suspect materials. <br /> ASBESTOS SURVEY <br /> Mr. Aaron Hallam, a USEPA Certified Asbestos Inspector, conducted the Pre- Demolition Asbestos <br /> Survey of the building on June 16 and October 27, 2010. All sampling and analytical data are <br /> included in this report. <br /> Samples were collected in a statistically random manner using the Asbestos Hazard Emergency <br /> Response Act (AHERA) protocol (40CFR763.86). Samples were placed into plastic bags with an air <br /> tight seal. Labels were affixed to the sample bags with specific nomenclature. Material location, <br /> estimated quantity, and physical assessment were recorded on field sheets and included as Table 1. <br /> BUILDING DESCRIPTION <br /> The structure is a former Whataburger restaurant and is a slab on grade structure with a built -up <br /> roofmg system. The exterior of the structure is concrete block with stucco. <br /> Air conditioning is supplied to the building by forced air. Typical interior building finishes on the <br /> floors included ceramic tile. Typical interior partitions included painted sheetrock. Ceilings consisted <br /> of ceiling tiles. Miscellaneous materials observed that were suspect of containing asbestos: <br /> • Drywall and associated joint compound <br /> • Ceiling tiles <br /> • Wall surfacing material <br /> • Duct insulation <br /> • Building insulation <br /> • Rolled roofing material <br /> • Stucco <br />
