2.2 DETAILED SCOPE -OF -SERVICES (Continued) Preliminary Asbestos Containing Material (ACM) Evaluation - Asbestos inspection is an additional service not provided in a basic Phase I (see Asbestos Section 6.2.1). No efforts are typically made to identify the presence of the most obvious and common ACM. In the event of a survey the potential for the presence of friable ACM are evaluated based on the age of the improvements, dates of renovation and other relevant information. The USEPA Guidance Document: Managing Asbestos in Place: A Building Owner's Guide to Operations and Maintenance Programs for Asbestos -Containing Materials (the Green Book) and 40CFR Part 763; Asbestos -Containing Materials in Schools were used as a guide in identifying suspect materials. Materials listed in the Green Book, which were installed prior to 1989, are suspected of containing asbestos. However, it should be noted that asbestos may still be utilized in some non -friable products, such as sheet vinyl flooring, vinyl floor tiles, floor tile mastic, asbestos - cement board, and roofing materials, as these materials may still be manufactured and installed in the United States. The level of the preliminary evaluation performed was not designed to comply with the survey requirements of the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA), 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 763, National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 40 CFR 61, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 29 CFR Part 1926.1101, or other local, state of federal regulations, but has been conducted per accepted industry practices to satisfy the scope of work of the rating agencies and/or lenders. Samples collected, if any, will be analyzed for the presence of asbestos by a National Voluntary Lab Accreditation Program (NVLAP) accredited laboratory using polarized light microscopy and dispersion staining. Any testing results obtained are for the personal use of the Client only. No sampling of undamaged materials is included in the scope of work. If damaged suspect materials are observed, limited samples may be collected. Documentation and Sources - Photographs representative of Geo-Tech's observations are included in the Appendix. In addition to visual observations, Geo-Tech relied on sources and contacted individuals who are listed in the Appendix. If and when applicable, additional forms and checklists required by the Client are also included in the appendices.
