1. Visual inspection of the buildings to identify homogeneous areas of suspect asbestos containing material (ACM) for testing. 2. Representative bulk sampling of suspect ACMs, including, but not limited to: a. Thermal system insulation on pipes, boilers, hot water tanks and related items b. Surface coatings such as fireproofing materials applied to floor decking, beams and ceilings or acoustic and decorative stucco-like coatings; c. Floor tiles and flooring adhesives/grouts; d. Gypsum board and associated joint compound and various wall plaster materials, and e. Miscellaneous materials such as asbestos-cement board (if applicable), roof products, HVAC vibration dampers, adhesives and other ACMs associated with mechanical and electrical equipment. 3. Comprehensive visual inventory for other hazardous materials within the buildings, including bulbs/ballasts, mercury switches, hydraulic door closers, emergency exit signs/lights, ozone-depleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), containerized wastes, and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-containing electrical and mechanical equipment. 4. Invasive OSHA demolition-level field evaluation of representative interior and exterior painted surfaces throughout the buildings using an x-ray fluorescence analyzer (XRF). 5. Evaluation of suspect PCBs on interior and exterior finish materials and components of the buildings, including plasticizers, adhesives, caulks, mastics, sealants, paints and specialty coatings. 6. Testing of adjacent soils along multiple perimeter walls of the buildings. 7. Research and Identification of any inground oil tank(s).
