4 AHERA/NESHAP Asbestos Inspection SUMMIT Project No Gladstone Street, Florence, South Carolina October 9, EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On September 20, 2017, SUMMIT Engineering, Laboratory & Testing, P.C. (SUMMIT) performed an AHERA/NESHAP Asbestos Inspection for City of Florence located at 814 Gladstone Street, Florence, SC. The purpose of this inspection was to investigate available records for the specification of asbestos containing material (ACM), inspect for suspect materials, sample and analyze suspect materials to test for asbestos, and assess the condition and location of the ACM and other characteristics of the structure. A homogeneous material is a material that appears to be uniform when properties such as age, color, and texture are compared. Four (4) homogeneous areas were sampled. The homogeneous areas are described in detail in section 3.0 of this report. The following materials were found to be Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs): C Tex-1, C Tex-2, C Tex-3, C Tex-4 and C Tex-5 The ceiling texture located throughout is in damaged condition with a low potential for disturbance. The material is friable and is classified as a surfacing material. The results indicated the material is classified as Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and contains up to 3% Chrysotile. The sample analysis is enclosed in Appendix A. A detailed map showing the sampling locations can be found in the SUMMIT Documentation. O:\ Jobs---\ City of Florence\ Gladstone Street\4.

7 AHERA/NESHAP Asbestos Inspection SUMMIT Project No Gladstone Street, Florence, South Carolina October 9, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS On September 20, 2017, SUMMIT performed an AHERA/NESHAP Asbestos Inspection for one (1) structure at 814 Gladstone Street, Florence, South Carolina. The following materials were found to be Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs): C Tex-1, C Tex-2, C Tex-3, C Tex-4 and C Tex-5 The ceiling texture located throughout is in damaged condition with a low potential for disturbance. The material is friable and is classified as a surfacing material. The results indicated the material is classified as Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) and contains up to 3% Chrysotile. The sample analysis is enclosed in Appendix A. A detailed map showing the sampling locations can be found in the SUMMIT Documentation. If the structure is to be renovated or demolished, a copy of this report and a notification of demolition or renovation forms must be submitted to The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) at least ten working days prior to these activities taking place. Bidders are responsible for their own calculations and estimates of quantities. Actual quantities may be more or less than indicated. Though every effort was made to examine wall cavities and other areas for pipe insulation, spray-applied or trowel applied surfacing material or other miscellaneous materials and other Presumed Asbestos Containing Material (PACM), this survey and report only deals with accessible areas of the building. There may be additional inaccessible areas above ceiling, behind walls and below floors that become evident during demolition or renovation activities. If suspect materials are found, additional asbestos testing may be required. O:\ Jobs---\ City of Florence\ Gladstone Street\4. ENVIRONMENTAL\Report\R - Asbestos Inspection (WORKING).doc 5

14 METHOD: EPA 600 / R93 / 116 For samples easily separated into homogeneous layers, each component will be analyzed separately. The sample may not be representative of the larger material in question. Interpretation and use of test results are the responsibility of the client. Due to the limitations of the EPA 600 Method, nonfriable organically bound materials (NOBs) such as vinyl floor tiles, mastic and roofing can be difficult to analyze by PLM. Reanalysis by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) to verify results of <1% or None Detect for these materials is recommended. This sheet may not be reproduced except with permission from Summit Laboratories. This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the Federal Government.
