Scope of Services The scope of our services was limited to: Visually examining accessible areas and identifying the locations of suspect asbestos- containing building materials(ACBM),lead,poly-chlorinated biphenyl's(PCB), mercury,and other miscellaneous hazardous materials. • Collecting and analyzing representative bulk samples of materials suspected of containing asbestos. Examples of materials to be collected for analysis include,but are not limited to:floor tile,linoleum flooring,wall and ceiling plaster,suspended and acoustical ceiling tile,sheetrock,thermal system insulation,textured ceiling material and fireproofing. • Documenting ACBM current conditions and quantities. • Conducting limited lead-based paint testing of painted surfaces suspected of containing lead(if applicable). Testing will be accomplished using a Niton X-ray fluorescence (XRF)spectrum analyzer. • Generating a final report documenting the sample locations,analysis results,ACBM quantities,conditions,and recommendations. B. Site Description The subject of this hazardous building materials inspection was the building,located at 3655 Togo Road in Navarre,Minnesota. It is a one-story structure with a basement level comprising approximately 2,000 square feet. The original date of construction is unknown,but is estimated to be in the 1970s. C. Results C.I. Asbestos C.1.1. Asbestos-Containing Materials Ten(10)bulk samples from 6 homogenous materials were collected on May 16,2005,and submitted to our laboratory for analysis. No asbestos was detected in any of the samples. C.1.2. Non-Asbestos-Containing Materials The following is a summary of building materials found to contain no asbestos or materials that contain one percent or less asbestos(non-asbestos-containing materials by regulatory definition). • Ceiling texture • 2-foot by 4-foot ceiling panel • Wall texture • Sheetrock and associated joint compound • Linoleum flooring and adhesive • Asphalt roof shingles and tar paper -- --+ Providing engineering and environmental solutions since 1957 Navarre Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses,Inc. Project No. BL-04-02065 May 24,2005 Page 2 Table I lists the homogenous material sample numbers, sample locations, suspect material descriptions,and the analysis results for each sample. C.2. Lead-Based Paint A visual inspection of painted surfaces on the interior and exterior of the building was conducted on May 16,2005. No peeling or flaking paint was observed. Therefore,no lead-in-paint testing was conducted with the x-ray fluorescence(XRF)field portable analyzer. CA Miscellaneous Hazardous Materials A visual inspection for miscellaneous hazardous materials that require separate handling and disposal prior to building renovation/demolition was also performed on May 16,2005. The following is a list of the items documented. • Fluorescent lamps • Light ballasts • Exit Signs • Emergency lights • Thermostats • Furnace thermo couplers • Miscellaneous paints and stains • Fire extinguishers • Door closers with oil • Cleaning supplies and paints D. Discussion In the case of building demolition,all of the hazardous materials listed in Section C.3 must be separated from the general demolition waste and their hazardous components must be recycled or disposed of in accordance with state and federal guidelines. E. Remarks In any building the potential exists for hazardous building materials to be located inside walls,above ceilings,under floors,buried underground,and other inaccessible areas. This inspection attempted to identify hazardous building materials in these inaccessible areas. However,it was not feasible to inspect 100 percent of these areas. Therefore,Braun Intertec cannot be held responsible for the presence of any such hidden materials. The renovation/demolition contractor and other contractors involved in the project should be made aware of this potential. If previously unidentified suspect hazardous building materials are exposed during their activities they should be sampled and analyzed for content prior to any disturbance. Navarre Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses,Inc. Project No. BL-04-02065 May 24,2005 Page 3 Services performed by Braun Intertec specialists for this project have been conducted in a manner consistent with that level of care ordinarily exercised by members of the profession currently practicing in this area under similar budget and time constraints. No warranty,expressed or implied, is made. Bulk asbestos analysis was conducted in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)Method 40 CFR,Chapter 1,Part 763,Subpart F,Appendix A(7/1/87 Edition). Detailed quality control information is available upon request. Bulk samples are retained at our laboratory for 60 days and then disposed of unless instructed otherwise. F.

The objective of this analysis was to determine the presence of asbestos using polarized light microscopy(PLM)and to determine the percent of asbestos and non-asbestos fibrous components by calibrated visual area estimation. Analytical results are summarized on the following laboratory report. Methodology Bulk asbestos analysis is conducted in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's(EPA)methods 40 CFR,Part 763,Ch. 1,Subpart F,Appendix A(7-1-87 Edition)and EPA/600/R-93/116.All analyses are in compliance with the quality control procedures specified by the methods.All samples are examined for homogeneity.If a sample contains more than one layer,each layer is analyzed individually.Total fibrous content is calculated for joint compound/wallboard systems by combining layer results according to their percentages of the total sample.Detailed quality control information is available upon request. Remarks Braun Intertec is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's(NIST),National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program(NVLAP)for selected test methods for bulk asbestos identification under Accreditation Number 101234.This report in no way constitutes or implies product certification,approval or endorsement by NVLAP or any other agency of the U.S.Government.This test report relates only to the items submitted for analysis. 1qVkAPLab rode: im .age I of 7 BRAUN emm 1„1i, . 4i2.44S.2000 11001 HIwo im Aw "S FOX 452.945.2070 N T E RT E C M MN 5S438 1 Wsb: waa*nW taco« May 20,2005 Work Order#: 0501731 Samples are retained at our laboratory for a period of 30 days and will be disposed of unless otherwise instructed by the client.
