4 Introduction A Survey was conducted for asbestos-containing building materials at 114 McKim Way, Fombell, PA The inspection was conducted in accordance with a verbal agreement with Franklin Township. The inspection was conducted on November 6, The inspection was conducted by Mark D. Stowe, a Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry Certified Asbestos Building Inspector, The inspection was conducted to identify asbestos-containing materials that may exist in the structure to comply with both the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS) regulations prior to the demolition of the building. Inspection Procedures All visually and physically accessible areas of the facility were inspected and samples of suspect materials were collected for analysis. All samples were transported under chain-of-custody documentation for laboratory analysis. The asbestos samples were collected placed into individual containers, sealed, and assigned a unique identification number. Information including the material type and location from which the sample was collected was recorded on a Bulk Sample Record. Bulk samples of Suspect Asbestos Containing Materials (SACM) were then submitted for PLM Analysis. The methodology employed consisted of categorizing and identifying all suspect asbestos containing building components or materials. Pipe insulation, floor tile, mastic, plaster, wall board, window caulking/glazing, and other suspect materials were all categorized and then assessed for asbestos content. Both friable and non-friable suspect asbestos containing materials were considered during the course of the inspection. Friable materials are those materials that can be pulverized or reduced to powder by hand pressure. Homogeneous materials were identified and bulk samples of each material were collected based on material homogeneity. A homogeneous material is one which seems by function, texture, color, and wear to be uniform in nature and to have been applied during the same general time period. Building Background The building is a two story wood frame residential dwelling built on wood joists built over a dirt floor crawl space. No suspected asbestos containing materials were identified in the crawl space. The building was built in The dwelling has a wood framed pitched roof. The total area encompassed is approximately 2,078 sq. ft. Interior walls are dry wall and plaster. Flooring surfaces include floor tile, concrete, wood and carpeting. Ceilings are drywall, plaster or ceiling tile. Roofing materials asphalt roof shingles. The building has had limited and infrequent use for an extended period of time. Many of the interior materials have been extensively damaged through water incursion and physical forces.

5 Limitations All physically and visually accessible areas of the building were inspected. Undetected ACM may exist in areas (e.g., inside walls, above inaccessible ceilings) which were not visually or physically accessible at the time of the inspection. Discussion A total of twenty-one (21) representative bulk samples of fourteen (14) different homogeneous suspect asbestos-containing materials were collected. The samples were analyzed by RJ Lee Group, Inc. which is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). This analysis was performed using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), the EPA recommended method for bulk asbestos analysis. An asbestos-containing material (ACM) is defined by the EPA as "any material containing more than one percent (1%), by weight, of asbestos of any type or mixture of types".

"Trace" or "<1" indicates asbestos was identified in the sample, but the concentration is less than the method quantitation limit of 1%. PLM coefficients of variance range from approximately 1.8 at the quantitation limit of 1% to 0.1 at high fiber concentrations. Samples are archived for three months following analysis and are then properly discarded. These results are submitted pursuant to RJ Lee Group's current terms and conditions of sale, including the company's standard warranty and limitation of liability provisions. No responsibility or liability is assumed for the manner in which these results are used or interpreted. This test report relates to the items tested.

This report may not be used to claim product endorsement by NVLAP. any agency of the U.S. Government or any other laboratory accrediting agency. Polarized-light microscopy is not consistently reliable in detecting asbestos in floor coverings and similar nonfriable organically bound materials. Quantitative transmission electron microscopy is currently the only method that can be used to determine if this material can be considered or treated as "non-asbestos-containing." Sample(s) for this project were analyzed at our: Monroeville, PA (AIHA #100364) facility. If RJ Lee Group, Inc. did not collect the samples analyzed, the verifiability of the laboratorys results are limited to the reported values. Page 5 of5
