ASBESTOS INFORMATION
The general name given to a number of naturally occurring hydrated silicate minerals that possess a unique
crystalline structure, are incombustible in air, and separable into fibers. Asbestos includes the asbesti-form
varieties of chrysotile (serpentine), crocidolite, amosite, anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite.
Asbestos is the generic term used to describe a group of naturally occurring silicate minerals that have the
ability to separate into small, fine fibers. The most widely used types of asbestos are chrysotile and
amosite. Exposure to these fibers has been linked to asbestosis, mesothelioma, and lung cancer.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has targeted friable asbestos as the primary source
for the release of and subsequent exposure to asbestos fibers. Friable materials may be crumbled,
pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure when dry. United States Environmental Protection
Agency (U.S. EPA) regulations define “ACMs” as materials containing more than one percent (1%)
asbestos. ACMs are regulated under the U.S EPA National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air
Pollutants, Standard for Demolition and Renovation (NESHAP) and OSHA regulations.

ASBESTOS SURVEY
An Illinois Department of Public Health Licensed Asbestos Inspector IDPH# 100-05395
conducted the survey. Bulk samples were collected from 12x12 white flooring, 1x1 ceiling tiles,
black sheet flooring, exterior transite siding and roofing materials and submitted to EMSL
Analytical, Inc an independent laboratory in Chicago, Illinois.

METHODOLOGY
Bulk samples were taken to EMSL Analytical, Inc. and analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy
(PLM) with dispersion staining Method EPA 600/R-93/116 by a laboratory which is accredited by
the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) and which successfully participates in the
National Institute of Science and Technologies National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program (NIST-NVLAP). Suspect ACM was not unnecessarily disturbed for sampling, A NIOSH
approved respirator was worn during bulk sampling of friable materials, A tiny core was
removed by gently cutting and penetrating all layers of the material, including paint and
protective coating, Each sample was placed in a plastic laboratory bag and labeled with a discrete
sample ID.

Asbestos Containing Materials
A total of ten (10) bulk samples of suspect ACMS were collected. Samples were then analyzed for
asbestos content. EPA and OSHA regulations define ACM as any material containing greater
than 1% asbestos. The following is a summary of the results of the materials sampled and
quantity estimates of the material, which were identified as ACM in the various locations. The
identified Asbestos materials are underlined and in Red Bold type.

*****Inspection Limitations******
No warranty is made or intended. Our inspection investigation was performed using the degree of care and skill
ordinarily exercised under similar circumstances by reputable environmental consultants practicing in this of other
localities. The information in this report is deemed reliable but there cannot be a guarantee that all hazardous or
potentially hazardous conditions have been located or identified. Some of the reasons for this are:
*When sampling was conducted, it was performed on a random basis and the material sampled was assumed to be
homogenous. The possibility does exist that material composition may differ from the sampling location.
*The inspection conducted was not an (AHERA) inventory. Therefore, All ACM may not have been identified.
*Unless specifically noted, our findings and areas we selected to be sampled are based on visual observations. Materials
and conditions, which are concealed or are inaccessible, may not have been discovered.

CONCLUSIONS
Based on the results of this survey, ACM was identified at the location of sampling. The following recommendations
are provided:
*Prior to renovation or demolition, ACBM, suspect ACM, that will be disturbed will need to be removed or abated prior
to commencement of any construction activities. Removal or abatement activities must be performed by certified and
licensed workers and contractors. 10 Working day Notices and Permits will need to be obtained prior to undertaking
these activities.
* Please Note -Suspect material might be encountered during demo activities behind walls, over ceiling, in crawl spaces or
inaccessible areas, in such event Suspect material is found demo contractor will need to stop work and notify the
Department of Environment and IEPA and hire a Licensed Abatement Contractor.

We appreciate the opportunity to work with you on this project. If you have any questions of
additional information is needed, please do not hesitate to call.
