Introduction_______________________________________ XYZ Consultants Inc. was retained by Acme General Contractors to perform a limited renovation asbestos survey of Building 1 at ABC Electric Company prior to the scheduled renovation. The renovation survey for asbestos containing materials was conducted on May 16, 2012 to May 20, 2012 at ABC Electric Company, located at 555 Park Avenue in Rochester, New York. Building 1 is a two story, 6,000 square foot power house that was built over 100 years ago. Its current and past primary function is a power house. The building is constructed of brick, and concrete with metal I-beams and supports. This asbestos survey report is not intended to be a bid document for a scope of work for the asbestos abatement contractor. The survey report only identifies and assesses the location, quantity and condition of ACM, PACM or asbestos materials at the subject site that are expected to be impacted by the renovation. The asbestos survey report is intended to be used as an integral part in the development of an asbestos abatement project design or work scope. Under the Code Rule Regulation this task can only be performed by a Certified Project Designer. This Survey report is a multi page document and must be viewed in its entirety. In the event that this survey report is used as part of the bidding process for the purposes of asbestos abatement or project design of the areas indicated within the survey report, it is recommended that this survey report is submitted to the bidding contractors in its entirety. Immediate transmittal of the building survey to the commissioner is the responsibility of the building owner or his/her agent as defined by 12 NYCRR Part 56.5.1(g). Renovation Survey Scope______________________________ As required by the 12 NYCRR Part 56 the asbestos survey shall include a thorough inspection for and identification of all PACM (Presumed Asbestos Containing Materials), suspect miscellaneous ACM (Asbestos Containing Materials), or asbestos material throughout the building or portion of the building to be renovated. The inspection/survey shall be performed with due diligence to identify and assess the locations, quantities, friability, and conditions of all types of installations (materials) at the effected portion of the building and expected to be impacted by renovation at the above referenced location. The scope of the renovation asbestos survey is dictated by the scope of the renovation that the client is proposing to perform. Below is the client’s scope and intentions as described by the client and understood by the inspectors. Several components are essential in determining the scope of the renovation survey. The inspectors and/or project manager shall determine the scope of the renovation survey through an understanding of building owner’s or the building owner’s representative description of the renovation, any building or demolition/renovation drawings provided by the building owner or the building owner’s representative and interviews with knowledgeable building personnel with an intimate understanding of the building’s components. Any changes in circumstances or fact that the scope of the survey is based upon can affect the findings, conclusions and recommendations presented in the survey report.

Renovation Scope___________________________________ The scope of the renovation project as defined by Acme General Contractors is a complete interior demolition of the building. The renovation scope will include the following;

1. Complete interior demolition 2. Window and door replacement throughout the building.

Demolition drawings were not provided to the inspectors by the client. All information pertaining to the scope of the renovation was provided through interviewing the project manager, John Doe of Acme General Contractors throughout the course of the inspection. As built drawings were not provided to the inspector, as built drawings are essential parts of the survey process. Often these as built drawings will provide the inspector with information related to hidden suspect materials that may have been installed in the building



during the original construction. Please refer to the conclusion section for materials that were discovered as a result of this as built drawing. Inspection/Survey___________________________________ Asbestos surveys conducted in New York State are regulated by the NYS Department of Labor’s Code Rule 56. For the purpose of this report 12 NYCRR Part 56 (Code Rule 56) will be referred to as Code Rule 56 or The Code Rule. A copy of the applicable Code Rule Subpart is provided in Appendix A. Code Rule 56 provides specific guidelines for the survey (inspection) process. The Code Rule states that the inspection shall be conducted using standard EPA and OSHA accepted methods. The accepted EPA method of asbestos surveys (inspections) is the AHERA protocol (EPA 40 CFR Part 763, subpart E). Since its development the AHERA sampling and inspection protocol has become the standard for which all asbestos surveys are performed. This survey was performed consistent with the requirements of the AHERA protocol. The Code Rule also indicates OSHA accepted methods. Under the OSHA Construction Standard asbestos surveys are considered Class III asbestos work. What the OSHA Standard states is that the building owner shall notify prospective employers, employees of the owner, employers of employees working on or adjacent to the site and tenants, the presence, location and quantity of ACM and/or PACM present within their worksite. And prior to demolition, renovation or repair work must supply any contractor performing work within the building with an asbestos survey identifying the presence, location and quantity of ACM and/or PACM. This survey shall identify with due diligence the presence, locations, and quantities of PACM and/or ACM present at the worksite prior to the scheduled work. 1926.1101(k)(5)(ii)(b) of the OSHA Construction Standard indicates that the samples shall be collected in a manner consistent with 40CFR 763.86 (The AHERA sampling protocol). Inspector Training & Certification________________________ XYZ Consultants inspector John Smith conducted the inspection. XYZ Consultants inspectors are fully trained by an approved New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) training provider prior to certification. Per the AHERA Regulation (40 CFR Part 763 Subpart E) inspections shall be performed by an accredited inspector. Accredited inspectors are required to receive their accreditation consistent with section 206 of Title II of the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA). The Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) mandates that training shall meet the requirements of the Model Accreditation Plan (40 CFR Part 763, Subpart E, Appendix (C). The established New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) training program meets the requirements of the EPA Model Accreditation Plan. Mr. Smith is a New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) certified inspector working for XYZ Consultants Inc. which is a New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) licensed asbestos contractor. Inspector certifications and the company’s asbestos handling license are provided in Appendix C.

Asbestos Bulk Sampling_______________________________ XYZ Consultants inspectors selected Homogeneous areas (materials) within each functional space for inclusion in the inspection. Homogeneous areas were selected through an understanding of the scope of the renovation as described by the client, the scope of the renovation survey as defined by the contract, and the historical uses of asbestos in building materials. Bulk samples were then collected from each homogenous area. “Homogenous area” is an EPA AHREA term which means; an area of surfacing material, thermal system insulation material, or miscellaneous material that is uniform in color and texture. Please keep in mind that the word “area” does not refer to a space or room, it refers to a material. For reference a listing definitions related to asbestos surveys has been provided in Appendix B of this report. A listing of homogeneous areas that were sampled as part of the survey/inspection can be found in Appendix D of this report. Bulk samples were collected consistent with the AHERA Sampling protocol (40 CFR Part 763.86 Subpart E). Bulk samples consist of a small amount of the suspect material that is collected and containerized consistent with EPA and OSHA accepted methods. Each bulk sample was assigned a six digit alphanumeric identification number by the inspector. A listing of the sample identification number prefix is provided in Appendix E of this report for reference. Bulk samples are then recorded on the inspector’s documentation which includes; field notes, room survey sheets, drawings and a chain of custody document.



All bulk samples are recorded on the chain of custody prior to delivery to the analytical laboratory. The chain of custody document accompanies all bulk samples from the point of collection until they reach the laboratory.

Asbestos Bulk Analysis________________________________ Ronco Environmental performed all sample analysis and analytical reports for this project. The Ronco laboratory is accredited through NYSDOH/ELAP (Lab ID# 111111) for Solid and Hazardous Waste, Air and Emissions for Bulk Asbestos Fiber Analysis. Samples are stored at the laboratory for 90 days then disposed of according to authoritative regulations. The following analysis methodology was used for suspect asbestos bulk samples:

• New York State Department of Health, ELAP Method 198.1 (Polarized Light Microscopy Methods for Identifying and Quantitating Asbestos in Bulk Samples)

• New York State Department of Health, ELAP Method 198.6 (Polarized Light Microscopy Method for Identifying and Quantitating Asbestos in Non-Friable Organically Bound Bulk Samples).

• New York State Department of Health, ELAP Method 198.4 (Transmission Electron Microscopy Method for Identifying and Quantitating Asbestos in Non-Friable Organically Bound Bulk Samples).

Limitations________________________________________ The information provided in this report was compiled from field and laboratory data and was prepared for and referenced to ACB Electric Company, Building 1. Materials noted and recorded are intended to represent the subject site at the time and date that the observations were made. Determinations of suspect asbestos containing materials within the building were subject to the accessibility of each individual area or space. Determinations of asbestos containing materials were made by means of bulk sampling and analysis, physical assessment and/or visual assessment if the materials were not accessible. XYZ Consultants Inc accepts no responsibility for the content of building materials within areas or spaces that were unknown to us, not reasonably accessible, or not part of the scope of the project as defined by the client. XYZ Consultants Inc assumes no liability for any buildings or areas that were not identified by the client that may fall under state or federal regulations. Conclusions and recommendations provided in this report are based on the assumption that homogeneous areas (materials) identified are homogenous throughout their application. Energized mechanical or electrical systems were not sampled as part of the survey, and were visually assessed as ACM (Asbestos Containing Material). Suspect materials that are visually assessed by the inspector as ACM shall be treated as ACM, unless bulk sampling is conducted consistent with EPA and OSHA accepted methods, and the analysis meets the requirements of Code Rule 56 and the suspect material is found not to be asbestos containing. These systems may contain one or more of the following components, but are not limited to these components: brakes, clutches, gaskets, insulating panels, blocks or backer boards, wire insulation, explosion proof lighting gaskets and fitting packings, insulating papers, pipe sleeve packings, fire stops, caulks, paints and coatings. Areas that were inaccessible at the time that the survey was performed will be noted on the survey. If areas that were inaccessible were determined homogeneous to the surrounding areas by visual assessment, quantification by means of a visual assessment was performed and will be noted on the survey report. Access to the space should be provided to the inspector prior to renovation to confirm the homogeneous classification. Bulk sampling and analysis was limited to materials that are expected to be impacted by the renovation, this includes but not limited to materials that may be necessary to move, demolish or penetrate to access suspect materials. Due to the age of construction, some suspect materials were not analyzed for asbestos at the clients request and will be assumed to be ACM. All materials assumed to be ACM shall be treated as



ACM, unless bulk sampling is conducted consistent with EPA and OSHA accepted methods, and the analysis meets the requirements of Code Rule 56 and the suspect material is found not to be asbestos containing. Assumptions made on materials that were not sampled and analyzed or inaccessible for assessment during the inspection are based on historical application of a suspect material based on the inspector’s experience and training and may not actually represent the color, quantity, friability or condition of the material. All quantities are approximations and must be field verified by the contractor prior to the submittal of bids. Contractor bids are expected to be based on their own determination of quantities and not the quantities stated in this report. All quantifications were made by means of tape measurements and should be field verified by the contractor. These quantifications may have changed from the time of the survey due to a change in the scope. Consistent with Code Rule 56 subpart 56-5.1(j), when unidentified and unassessed Asbestos is discovered during any construction activity, such as demolition, remodeling, renovation or repair work and reveals PACM or suspect miscellaneous ACM that has not been identified by the asbestos survey consistent with the requirements of the Code Rule, or has not been identified by other inspections as per current OSHA or EPA requirements, all activities shall cease in the area where the PACM or suspect miscellaneous ACM is found and the Asbestos Control Bureau shall be notified by telephone by the building/structure owner or their representative, followed with a written notice in accordance with the notification requirements of the Code Rule. Unassessed PACM or suspect miscellaneous ACM shall be treated and handled as ACM and assumed to be ACM, unless proven otherwise by standard EPA and OSHA accepted methods, including multi-layered systems sampling protocols; subsequent analyses performed by a laboratory that meets the requirements of Section 56-4.2 of the Code Rule; and the analyses satisfies both NYS ELAP and federal requirements, including multi-layered sample analyses, to document non-asbestos containing material. In addition to this requirement the property owner is required to follow provisions indicated in Code Rule 56 subpart 56-1.5.

Conclusions_______________________________________ Conclusions and recommendations made are based upon the subject site at the time and date that the observations were made. The renovation survey was conducted on May 16, 2012 through May 30, 2012. Refer to the attached space by space spreadsheet in Appendix G indicating the materials that were identified to contain asbestos. Any changes in circumstances or fact that the scope of the survey is based upon can affect the findings, conclusions and recommendations presented in the survey report. The asbestos survey included the bulk sampling of 61 homogeneous areas (materials), identification of the 61 homogeneous areas are indicated in Appendix D of this survey report. 220 bulk samples were submitted to a state and federal accredited laboratory for analysis to determine the presence of asbestos. Of the 220 bulk samples that were collected representing the 61 homogeneous areas submitted for analysis, 10 materials (homogeneous areas) were found to contain asbestos greater than one percent. Analytical results and chain of custody documentation are provided in Appendix I of this report. In addition 7 homogeneous areas were identified and will be assumed to be ACM at the client’s request. Due to the energized boilers, interior components of the buildings boiler system were not tested as part of the inspection. Bulk sampling of suspect materials on the boilers were limited to accessible materials on the exterior of the boilers. Boilers may contain the following materials but are not limited to these components; Fire Brick, Refractory, Gaskets and insulating blocks or panels. These materials shall be assumed to be ACM and shall be treated as ACM, unless bulk sampling is conducted consistent with EPA and OSHA accepted methods, and the analysis meets the requirements of Code Rule 56 and the suspect material is found not to be asbestos containing. The inspector noted that the structure had been renovated several times over the years and separated the building into several different homogeneous areas, combining homogeneous areas that appeared to be renovated at the same time period considering the type and application of building materials that were used in the specific spaces and/or areas of the building. At the costumers request some suspect materials were not analyzed using TEM analysis as required by state regulations. Therefore these materials shall be assumed to be ACM (Asbestos Containing Materials) and are subject to state and federal regulations governing asbestos abatement practices.

Appendix A_______________________________________ EPA AHERA 40 CFR Part 763 Samples were collected in the following manner consistent with EPA 40 CFR Part 763.86 Subpart E. (a) Surfacing material. An accredited inspector shall collect, in a statistically random manner that is

representative of the homogeneous area, bulk samples from each homogeneous area of friable surfacing material that is not assumed to be ACM, and shall collect the samples as follows: (1) At least three bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is 1,000 ft2 or

less, except as provided in § 763.87(c)(2). (2) At least five bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is greater than

1,000 ft2 but less than or equal to 5,000 ft2, except as provided in § 763.87(c)(2). (3) At least seven bulk samples shall be collected from each homogeneous area that is greater than

5,000 ft2, except as provided in § 763.87(c)(2). (b) Thermal system insulation.

(1) Except as provided in paragraphs (b) (2) through (4) of this section and § 763.87(c), an accredited inspector shall collect, in a randomly distributed manner, at least three bulk samples from each homogeneous area of thermal system insulation that is not assumed to be ACM.

(2) Collect at least one bulk sample from each homogeneous area of patched thermal system insulation that is not assumed to be ACM if the patched section is less than 6 linear or square feet.

(3) In a manner sufficient to determine whether the material is ACM or not ACM, collect bulk samples from each insulated mechanical system that is not assumed to be ACM where cement or plaster is used on fittings such as tees, elbows, or valves, except as provided under § 763.87(c)(2).

(4) Bulk samples are not required to be collected from any homogeneous area where the accredited inspector has determined that the thermal system insulation is fiberglass, foam glass, rubber, or other non-ACBM.

(c) Miscellaneous material. In a manner sufficient to determine whether material is ACM or not ACM, an accredited inspector shall collect bulk samples from each homogeneous area of friable miscellaneous material that is not assumed to be ACM.

(d) Non-friable suspected ACBM. If any homogeneous area of nonfriable suspected ACBM is not assumed to be ACM, then an accredited inspector shall collect, in a manner sufficient to determine whether the material is ACM or not ACM, bulk samples from the homogeneous area of nonfriable suspected ACBM that is not assumed to be ACM.

According to an EPA clarification letter issued to the New York State Department of Labor Engineering Services Unit on May 31, 2007 regarding the bulk sampling of miscellaneous materials and non-friable suspect ACBM the following was determined by the EPA; New York State Department of Labor Question The New York State Dept. of Labor asbestos regulation (ICR 56) requires surveys/inspections of buildings/structures to identify the presence of ACM prior to demolition, renovation, remodeling or repair project. For the minimum number of samples necessary per homogeneous area, ICR 56 defers to AHERA requirements. 763.86(c) Miscellaneous material. In a manner sufficient to determine whether material is ACM or not ACM, an accredited inspector shall collect bulk samples from each homogeneous area of friable miscellaneous material that is not assumed to be ACM. 763.86(d) Nonfriable suspected ACBM. If any homogeneous area of nonfriable suspected ACBM is not assumed to be ACM, then an accredited inspector shall collect, in a manner sufficient to determine whether the material is ACM or not ACM, bulk samples from the homogeneous area of nonfriable suspected ACBM that is not assumed to be ACM. Thus the question that has been submitted to the department; Is two samples the minimum number of bulk samples per homogeneous area for both miscellaneous materials and non-friable suspect ACBM, to show that a homogeneous area is not ACM? As the terminology “bulk samples” is used in both definitions, one bulk sample per homogeneous area would not seem to meet the minimum requirement in the definitions.



EPA Response After consultation with our office of General Counsel, EPA agrees that the regulations cited above use the plural word “samples” and, therefore, two samples are the minimum number of samples for miscellaneous material and non-friable suspect ACBM.



Appendix A_______________________________________ OSHA Construction Standard 1926.1101 Subpart Z 1926.1101(k) Communication of hazards (1) This section applies to the communication of information concerning asbestos hazards in construction

activities to facilitate compliance with this standard. Most asbestos-related construction activities involve previously installed building materials. Building owners often are the only and/or best sources of information concerning them. Therefore, they, along with employers of potentially exposed employees, are assigned specific information conveying and retention duties under this section. Installed Asbestos Containing Building Material. Employers and building owners shall identify TSI and sprayed or troweled on surfacing materials in buildings as asbestos-containing, unless they determine in compliance with paragraph (k)(5) of this section that the material is not asbestos- containing. Asphalt and vinyl flooring material installed no later than 1980 must also be considered as asbestos containing unless the employer, pursuant to paragraph (g)(8)(i)(I) of this section determines that it is not asbestos-containing. If the employer/ building owner has actual knowledge, or should have known through the exercise of due diligence, that other materials are asbestos-containing, they too must be treated as such. When communicating information to employees pursuant to this standard, owners and employers shall identify ‘‘PACM’’ as ACM. Additional requirements relating to communication of asbestos work on multi-employer worksites are set out in paragraph (d) of this section.

(2) Duties of building and facility owners (i) Before work subject to this standard is begun, building and facility owners shall determine the

presence, location, and quantity of ACM and/or PACM at the work site pursuant to paragraph (k)(1) of this section.

(ii) Building and/or facility owners shall notify the following persons of the presence, location and quantity of ACM or PACM, at the work sites in their buildings and facilities. Notification either shall be in writing, or shall consist of a personal communication between the owner and the person to whom notification must be given or their authorized representatives: (A) Prospective employers applying or bidding for work whose employees reasonably can be

expected to work in or adjacent to areas containing such material; (B) Employees of the owner who will work in or adjacent to areas containing such material: (C) On multi-employer worksites, all employers of employees who will be performing work within

or adjacent to areas containing such materials; (D) Tenants who will occupy areas containing such material.

(3) Duties of employers whose employees perform work subject to this standard in or adjacent to areas containing ACM and PACM. Building/facility owners whose employees perform such work shall comply with these provisions to the extent applicable. (i) Before work in areas containing ACM and PACM is begun; employers shall identify the presence,

location, and quantity of ACM, and/or PACM therein pursuant to paragraph (k)(1) of this section. (ii) Before work under this standard is performed employers of employees who will perform such work

shall inform the following persons of the location and quantity of ACM and/or PACM present in the area and the precautions to be taken to insure that airborne asbestos is confined to the area. (A) Owners of the building/facility; (B) Employees who will perform such work and employers of employees who work and/or will be

working in adjacent areas. (iii) Within 10 days of the completion of such work, the employer whose employees have performed

work subject to this standard, shall inform the building/ facility owner and employers of employees who will be working in the area of the current location and quantity of PACM and/or ACM remaining in the area and final monitoring results, if any.

(4) In addition to the above requirements, all employers who discover ACM and/or PACM on a worksite shall convey information concerning the presence, location and quantity of such newly discovered ACM and/or PACM to the owner and to other employers of employees working at the work site, within 24 hours of the discovery.

(5) Criteria to rebut the designation of installed material as PACM. (i) At any time, an employer and/or building owner may demonstrate, for purposes of this standard,

that PACM does not contain asbestos. Building owners and/ or employers are not required to communicate information about the presence of building material for which such a demonstration pursuant to the requirements of paragraph (k)(5)(ii) of this section has been made. However, in all



such cases, the information, data and analysis supporting the determination that PACM does not contain asbestos, shall be retained pursuant to paragraph (n) of this section.

(ii) An employer or owner may demonstrate that PACM does not contain more than 1% asbestos by the following: (A) Having a completed inspection conducted pursuant to the requirements of AHERA (40 CFR

Part 763, subpart E) which demonstrates that the material is not ACM; or (B) Performing tests of the material containing PACM which demonstrate that no ACM is present in

the material. Such tests shall include analysis of bulk samples collected in the manner described in 40 CFR 763.86. The tests, evaluation and sample collection shall be conducted by an accredited inspector or by a CIH. Analysis of samples shall be performed by persons or laboratories with proficiency demonstrated by current successful participation in a nationally recognized testing program such as the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) or the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) or the Round Robin for bulk samples administered by the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) or an equivalent nationally-recognized round robin testing program.

(iii) The employer and/or building owner may demonstrate that flooring material including associated mastic and backing does not contain asbestos, by a determination of an industrial hygienist based upon recognized analytical techniques showing that the material is not ACM.
