DocuSign Envelope ID:OE71AC55-698C-4D9A-B848-92OF1816167B <br /> . ,- .. • - - ci—> >uutneast, LLP <br /> Management Services <br /> PROJECT INFORMATION AND SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> Project Description <br /> We understand the property consists of the Orange County Court Street Annex Building located at <br /> 109 Court Street in Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina. Based on the information available, <br /> approximately 4,200 square feet of space is slated for renovation on the interior of the second floor <br /> of the building. <br /> Purpose and Project Background <br /> The purpose of this Asbestos Assessment is to evaluate if asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) may <br /> be present within the interior portions of the second floor of the building to be renovated. <br /> SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> Based on our understanding of the subject property and plans for future activities, ECS has prepared <br /> the following Scope of Services. <br /> Asbestos-Containing Materials <br /> The U.S. EPA National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) requires an <br /> asbestos assessment prior to renovation or demolition activities. Renovation or demolition is defined <br /> under NESHAP as the removal of a load-bearing structure or member. On the basis of requirements <br /> under NESHAP and the North Carolina Asbestos Hazard Management Program (AHMP), administered <br /> by the Health Hazards Control Unit (HHCU), ECS will conduct a limited assessment for potential <br /> asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) for renovation and/or demolition activities. The asbestos <br /> assessment is limited in that ECS will not conduct demolition such as jack/sledge hammering or <br /> cutting through walls, ceilings, floors, or structural members to expose potentially concealed <br /> materials. <br /> The tasks associated with the proposed asbestos assessment are: <br /> 1. ECS will begin by interviewing the site contacts to learn available information regarding the <br /> past history of the site, including ages of materials, past renovations, maintenance, etc. (Copies of <br /> "as-built" construction plans, or previous asbestos reports, if available should be provided for review <br /> prior to the assessment.). <br /> 2. ECS will set up a date with the site access personnel to perform the assessment. Once the date is <br /> solidified, the Owner(s)will grant ECS unrestricted access to the property. <br /> 3. ECS will enter the building and begin identifying the homogenous areas. Homogeneous areas are <br /> defined as sections of building materials appearing to have been installed in the same general time <br /> period and are of uniform color, texture, and size. Once homogeneous areas are identified, samples <br /> of the materials suspected to contain asbestos will be collected in general accordance with US EPA <br /> Page 1 <br />
