Friable ACM <br /> The following asbestos-containing materials are classified as friable materials according to EPA 40 CFR <br /> Part 61 National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Poltutants (NESHAPs): <br /> ■ 1-3" millboard pipe insulation with tarpaper layers <br /> ■ Vermiculite insulation (small grain) -ceiling&wall cavities—See Below <br /> ■ Vibration dampener gasket(white, cloth) <br /> Note: Vermiculite insulation was observed in the ceiling and wall cavities. The samples collected of the <br /> vermiculite insulation indicated trace amounts(less than 1%actinolite)of asbestos content.The EPA, <br /> MPCA,and the MDH consider any building material found to contain 1 percent or less asbestos to be a <br /> "non-asbestos containing material." However, due to the "scientific uncertainties associated with <br /> existing testing techniques"the EPA and MPCA recommend assuming that all vermiculite insulation <br /> contains asbestos.This is a developing issue with the regulatory agencies and it is our recommendation <br /> to request a specific interpretation for the site. <br /> The above friable ACMs were observed to be in good condition at the time of our assessment.These <br /> materials should be maintained in good condition to prevent potential exposure to asbestos. Friable <br /> ACMs are to be removed prior to disturbance by demolition in accordance with applicable state and <br /> federal regulations. <br /> eRAUN <br /> INTERTEC <br />
