This study is significant in that it identifies asbestos-containing materials and provides guidance regarding the relative location. When a building will have demolition of structural supports, the MPCA (Minnesota Pollution Control Agency) requires that the friable asbestos, Freon, PCB and all, mercury materials be removed prior to demolition of the structure. SUMMARY Building inspections, accompanied by bulk sampling of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM), was conducted at 1750 Shadywood Road, Orono, MN. Hickey Consultants performed the inspection. The ACM inspection covered all areas of the building. The building was a 2-story home and basement with approximately a 1,000-square foot structure estimated to be built around the 1920's. Asbestos containing materials>1%were found in three of the building materials. Building materials sampled included, roofing shingles, tar paper, window caulk, window glazing, transite like siding, tar paper under siding, fiber board soffit, cement board siding, seaming tape on metal ducts, linoleum flooring and mastic. Fifteen PLM bulk samples were collected during the building inspection and analyzed for asbestos. ACM is considered positive with indicating levels of greater than one percent (>1%). The samples were analyzed and asbestos >1% was detected in the transite cement board siding, the caulk around the metal ducts and the white tape around the metal ducts in the basement. The white tape around the metal ducts and the caulk around the metal ducts are both friable and will need to be removed prior to demolition. Asbestos>1%was also found in the transite cement board siding. The transite siding is non-friable and will need to be removed prior to demolition. If the home is to be torn down, or burned during fire training, all asbestos will need to be removed by either the home owner, or an asbestos abatement company licensed by the state of Minnesota prior to demolition.
