3 ECH CONSULTANTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this investigation was to conduct a limited visual inspection, sample and analyze suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) which may be disturbed during the future demolition, to determine if any occupational exposures and/or environmental releases of airborne asbestos may occur. The suspect materials were those identified in the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) manual, Guidance for Controlling Asbestos. The identification of ACM meets compliance standards established the EPA under regulation 40 CFR, Part 61, National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, Asbestos NESHAP Revision, Final Rule. The survey was conducted by licensed inspector Enga Hair - # Bulk samples were recorded on a Chain of Custody and submitted to a Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) laboratory. Eurofins CEI Labs, Inc, located in Cary, North Carolina, is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for satisfactory compliance with criteria established in Title 15, part 7, Code of Regulations, by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The laboratory analysis reports the specific type of asbestos identified (there are six (6) types of asbestos minerals) and the percentage of asbestos present. The EPA defines materials as asbestos containing IF an asbestos content of greater than 1% is detected in a representative sample. The sampling strategy utilized throughout the survey complies with the instructions specified in the EPA Regulation 40 CFR, Part Trade Street Florence, South Carolina

11 August 8, 2018 ECH Consultants 1823 Trade Street Florence, SC CLIENT PROJECT: CEI LAB CODE: 113 E Pine St; Florence SC A Dear Customer: Enclosed are asbestos analysis results for PLM Bulk samples received at our laboratory on August 7, The samples were analyzed for asbestos using polarizing light microscopy (PLM) per the EPA 600 Method. Sample results containing >1% asbestos are considered asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) per EPA regulatory requirements. The detection limit for the EPA 600 Method is <1% asbestos by weight as determined by visual estimation. Thank you for your business and we look forward to continuing good relations.

17 LEGEND: Non-Anth = Non-Asbestiform Anthophyllite Non-Trem = Non-Asbestiform Tremolite Calc Carb = Calcium Carbonate METHOD: EPA 600 / R93 / 116 and EPA 600 / M4-82 / 020 REPORTING LIMIT: <1% by visual estimation REPORTING LIMIT FOR POINT COUNTS: 0.25% by 400 Points or 0.1% by 1,000 Points REGULATORY LIMIT: >1% by weight Due to the limitations of the EPA 600 method, nonfriable organically bound materials (NOBs) such as vinyl floor tiles can be difficult to analyze via polarized light microscopy (PLM). EPA recommends that all NOBs analyzed by PLM, and found not to contain asbestos, be further analyzed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Please note that PLM analysis of dust and soil samples for asbestos is not covered under NVLAP accreditation. Estimated measurement of uncertainty is available on request.

Eurofins CEI makes no warranty representation regarding the accuracy of client submitted information in preparing and presenting analytical results. Interpretation of the analytical results is the sole responsibility of the client. Samples were received in acceptable condition unless otherwise noted.
