(EI) is pleased to submit this cost - effective proposal to provide a limited <br />asbestos and Lead -based inspection of 410 Jones Ave. Hillsborough. <br />Asbestos Services <br />EI will perform a limited asbestos survey to identify asbestos - containing materials in general accordance with the <br />U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements as defined in the Asbestos Hazard Emergency <br />Response Act ( AHERA) guidelines promulgated in the Code of Federal Register No. 40 CFR Part 763. As <br />required by North Carolina regulations, personnel performing the asbestos survey will be registered with the state <br />of North Carolina as an Accredited Asbestos Inspector, who will perform the following: <br />EI will then survey the assessable areas and begin by identifying the homogenous areas. Homogeneous areas are <br />defined as sections of building containing materials suspected of containing asbestos appearing to have been <br />installed in the same general time period, and of uniform color and texture. Once homogeneous materials are <br />identified, we will obtain samples of materials suspected to contain asbestos in general accordance with AHERA <br />regulations. Specifically, samples will be collected from random locations of each homogeneous area. The <br />number of samples obtained from each homogeneous area will vary by material type. The number of samples <br />collected will be determined using the following criteria: <br />Thermal Insulation Materials (piping, breeching, boiler insulation, etc.) - A minimum of three <br />(3) samples will be collected. Only one sample will be collected from patch areas that are less <br />than 6 square or linear feet in size. <br />Surfacing Materials (plaster, fireproofing, etc.) — A minimum of seven samples will be collected <br />for areas greater than 5,000 square feet; five samples collected for areas greater than 1,000 <br />square feet, but less than 5,000 square feet; and three samples collected for areas less than 1,000 <br />square feet. <br />• Miscellaneous Materials (flooring, adhesives, roofing, wallboard, etc.) — A minimum of two <br />samples are required. <br />
