Ms. Meg Macauley Greenville County Redevelopment Authority 301 University Ridge, Suite 2500 Greenville, South Carolina 29601 Reference: Asbestos Containing Materials Assessment Services 405 Hampton Road

Greer, South Carolina 29651 Dear Ms. Macauley: Apex Environmental Management, Inc. (Apex) is pleased to provide the results of our assessment services for the referenced property. This report and the associated attachments summarize our evaluation of the conditions observed at the project site. The findings presented by Apex are based upon sampling performed in the subject building. There is a chance that undetected ACM may exist in the building between walls or in other areas that would only be exposed during demolition or structural renovations. Should material be discovered that could potentially contain asbestos during the demolition process, additional samples of the material should be collected by a licensed asbestos inspector and submitted to an accredited laboratory for analytical interpretation. Our recommendations are based on the guidelines presented in EPA and/or OSHA regulations. Please note that this document is not a specification for asbestos removal. It does not contain means and methods for abatement. Quantities are estimates and contractors must verify amounts prior to bidding or removal. If you are planning an abatement project, please contact Apex to discuss the requirements. Use of this document without the express written consent of Apex is at the sole risk of the user and or/abatement contractor. The conclusions and/or recommendations contained in this report are based on our understanding of the applicable standards at the time this report was prepared. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at (864) 404-3210. Respectfully submitted, APEX ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, INC.

SCOPE OF THE SURVEY The objectives of the asbestos containing materials assessment included the following:

Identification of suspect asbestos-containing material (ACM) in readily observable locations. Limited demolition of building finishes was conducted.

Asbestos survey with sample collection by a South Carolina accredited inspector. Suspect ACM analysis by polarized light microscopy (PLM) utilizing Southeast

Environmental Microbiology Laboratories (SEEML) as an NVLAP certified laboratory, their accreditation number is 201031-0.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of non-friable organically bound materials suspected to contain asbestos and testing negatively by PLM analysis were analyzed by Airtek Environmental as an NVLAP certified laboratory, their accreditation number is 102011-0.

Presenting the results in a report identifying confirmed ACMs. METHODS In order to determine if the suspect materials observed during the visual survey contained asbestos, representative bulk samples were collected and placed in sealed packages. Twenty-six (26) bulk samples were collected during the survey and submitted to SEEML in Greenville, South Carolina for analysis using the EPA recommended method of Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) coupled with dispersion staining (Method No. EPA 600/M4-82-020, Dec. 1982). SEEML participates in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). Their NVLAP accreditation numbers are 201031-0. EPA regulations require that multiple samples of each homogeneous material be collected for laboratory analysis. In accordance with South Carolina Regulation 61-86.1, non-friable organically bound materials that are reported to be non-asbestos containing by PLM analysis must also be analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Six (6) samples were analyzed using TEM. RESULTS The EPA defines an asbestos-containing material (ACM) as a material containing more than 1% asbestos. OSHA defines ACM as a material containing detectable amounts of asbestos. A specific PLM and TEM Data Results Table is located in Appendix II of this report and identifies positive materials and designates approximate quantities. Suspect asbestos containing materials that were identified to be asbestos containing include:

Approximately 8 vinyl windows with grey caulk.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND DISCUSSION If the above referenced asbestos materials are to be disturbed by renovations or demolition, the asbestos must be removed in accordance with EPA, State of South Carolina and OSHA asbestos regulations. The State of South Carolina, Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has specific regulations that must be adhered to during asbestos removal/abatement projects. Apex recommends the following: 1. Abate the asbestos containing materials in the structure prior to renovation or demolition. 2. Follow applicable asbestos regulations during renovation or demolition of the structure. You

should be aware that stringent requirements are imposed upon anyone renovating or demolishing a structure in which ACM will be disturbed. This work must be performed in accordance with OSHA asbestos regulations, 29 CFR 1910 & 1926, and NESHAP asbestos regulations 40 CFR 61, subpart M. South Carolina regulations require the accreditation of personnel who work in the asbestos field and notification and permitting fees for asbestos removal projects. There is a 10 working day notification period required prior to abatement of asbestos in a facility. Failure to take proper precautions and actions to protect human health and the environment can result in penalties, danger to personnel, and construction delays.

Please note that this document is not a specification for asbestos removal. It does not contain means and methods for asbestos abatement. If you are planning an asbestos abatement project, please contact Apex to discuss the requirements. Use of this document without the express written consent of Apex is at the sole risk of the user and/or abatement contractor. Quantities provided in this report are estimated. Contractors must verify material amounts prior to bidding or removal. This report summarizes our evaluation of the conditions observed at the site. The findings prepared by Apex are based upon testing performed in the building space. Additional ACM may exist (undetected) in other areas due to their inaccessibility or due to the limited nature of our testing. Our assessment procedures and recommendations are based on the guidelines presented in EPA, State of South Carolina or OSHA asbestos regulations. A copy of this report must be submitted to SCDHEC at least ten (10) working days prior to demolition when applying for a demolition permit.

NOB's should be analyzed by quantitative TEM. The above test report relates only to item tested. Layered samples are analyzed by layer. Any positive layer will be reported separately. Asbetos percentage is based on point-counting rules described in ELAP 198.1*VERMICULTE NOTE DISCLAIMER: Samples that contain more than 10% vermiculite are re-analyzed by ELAP method 198.6.
