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 (a professional roofer should make cuts/patches for roof inspection purposes), HVAC vibration dampers, adhesives and other ACMs associated with mechanical and electrical equipment. No asbestos analysis will be required other than PLM for non-friable materials. 3. Comprehensive visual inventory for other hazardous materials within the buildings, including bulbs/ballasts, mercury switches, hydraulic door closers, emergency exit signs/lights, ozonedepleting substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), containerized wastes, and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-containing electrical and mechanical equipment. All materials suspected to contain PCB’s are to be sampled and analyzed. 4. Invasive OSHA demolition-level field evaluation of representative interior and exterior painted surfaces throughout the buildings using an x-ray fluorescence analyzer (XRF). There is no need to perform representative paint chip sampling where XRF readings are 0.0. Lead compliance specification will only be required if lead is found to be present. 5. Evaluation of suspect PCBs on interior and exterior finish materials and components of the buildings, including caulks and window glazings.
