001. Regulatory Compliance
This inspection satisfies the current regulation WAC 296-62-07707 that requires
building owners to conduct an inspection before any repair, remodel, or demolition can
be performed where asbestos may be disturbed (Chapter 49-17 RCW) and…
Olympic Region Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) Regulations, Article 14 of the
Asbestos Control Standards Section 14.05 Notification Requirement and Fees
“It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or allow work on an asbestos project or
demolition unless owner or the operator has obtained written approval from the control
officer as follows:
(1) A written “Application to Perform an Asbestos Project”or
An application to Perform a Demolition; shall be submitted
on Agency-provided forms by the owner or operator for
approval by the Control Officer before any work on an
asbestos project or demolition begins. It shall be unlawful
for any person to cause or allow any false or misrepresenting
information on either form.
(2) The written application shall be accompanied by the appropriate
Application fee and a certification that an asbestos survey has
been conducted.
(3) The written application for a demolition shall also include a
Certification that there is no known asbestos-containing materials
remaining in the area of the demolition.
(4) The duration of an asbestos project or demolition shall not exceed
one year beyond the original starting date that is commensurate with
the amount of work involved.
(5) A copy of the approved application and asbestos survey shall be available
For inspection at the asbestos project or demolition site.
(6) Upon completion of an asbestos project or demolition, a written “Notice
Of Completion” shall be filed with the Control Officer.
(7) Submission of an “Application to Perform an Asbestos Project” shall be
Prima facie evidence that the asbestos project involves ACM.
(8) Application for multiple asbestos projects may be filed on one form, if
Specific criteria are met (see ORCAA website for details).
Notification is required for demolition’s involving structures with a projected roof area
greater than 120 square feet, even if no ACM is present.
Friable, asbestos-containing material need not be removed from a component if the
component can be removed, stored, or transported for reuse without disturbing or
damaging the asbestos.
4
It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or allow the burning of any facility for
fire training without removing all asbestos-containing materials prior to burning. This
includes both friable and nonfriable ACM.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 4.05 Procedures for Asbestos Projects. Training Requirements
It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or allow any work on an asbestos project
unless it is performed by persons trained and certified in accordance with the standards
established by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, the federal
Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), or the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (whichever agency has jurisdiction) and whose
certification is current. “
This certification requirement does not apply to asbestos projects conducted in an
owner-occupied, single family residence performed by the resident owner of the
dwelling.
AHERA (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act) regulation requires this
inspection to include the identification of Friable and Non-Friable ACM in
(1) Surfacing Materials,
(2) Thermal System Insulation, and
(3) Miscellaneous Materials: to delineate homogeneous areas and to sample or
“Presume” all materials located.
Friable ACM is thought to release fibers into the air more readily, however, many
types of Non-Friable ACM can become airborne if disturbed. Additionally, the
condition of the material will be graded and the potential for
future damage assessed.
The number of samples required is specified in the AHERA Rule (40 CFR 763.86)
as follows:
Surfacing Materials: (SM)
3 samples per homo-geneous area of less than 1000 square feet,
5 samples for greater than 1000 but less than 5000 square feet,
7 samples for greater than 5000 square feet.
Thermal System Insulation: (TSI)
3 samples from each homogeneous area that is not “Assumed” to be asbestos,
1 sample per each patched area and as determined by the inspector for tees,
elbows or valves.
Miscellaneous Materials: (MM) Sample in amounts determined
sufficient by the inspector.
5
Friable asbestos is material that can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder
by hand pressure. Non-Friable asbestos can become Friable by sanding, grinding,
sawing, or other mechanically induced means.
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulates asbestos above 1%, as
determined using the method specified in Appendix A, Subpart F, 40 CFR (Code of
Federal Regulations) Part 763, Section 1, by Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM).
These agencies regulate asbestos in these counties: (Washington State)
• Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (PSCAA) King, Kitsap, Pierce, Snohomish
• Olympic Regional Clean Air Agency (ORCAA) Jefferson, Clallam, Mason,Thurston, Pacific, Grays Harbor
• Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) Lewis, Clark, Wahkiakum, Cowlitz, Skamania
• Yakima County Clean Air Authority (YCCAA)Yakima
• Northwest Air Pollution Authority (NAPA)Whatcom, Skagit, Island
• Douglas County Clean Air Commission,Douglas
• Grant County Clean Air Authority, Grant
• Tri Counties Air Pollution Control Authority, Benton, Walla Walla, Franklin
• Spokane County Air Pollution Control Authority (SCAPCA) Spokane
• Washington Department of Ecology, (DOE) Stevens, Ferry, Okanogan, San Juan, Chelan, Kittitas, Klickitat,
Columbia, Garfield, Asotin, Adams, Lincoln, Pend Oreille
A fee must be paid, and the Notice of Intent filed, and be submitted prior to
renovation or demolition of a building.
There is a required waiting period after filing a notification before work can begin.
(Mandatory 10 days for all demolition’s) Calendar or working day wait is stipulated by
each regulatory agency’s policy.
Further information regarding compliance may be obtained at our office.
It is unlawful for the owner or the owner’s agent to remove asbestos in excess of 10
linear feet or 48 square feet per year, per structure, unless the building is an owner-
occupied, single family private residence.
Washington State law requires asbestos that is left in place, be in good repair and
maintained at regular intervals. Maintenance should be documented.

002. Asbestos Definition
“Asbestos” includes Chrysotile, Amosite, Crocidolite, Tremolite asbestos,
Anthrophylite asbestos, Actinolite asbestos, and any of these minerals that have been
chemically treated and/or altered. Chrysotile is the most commonly used type of
asbestos in North America, known as “white asbestos”, the only mineral in the
serpentine group of asbestos minerals.
The word “asbestos” (Greek - not extinguishable) was first recorded in the first
century AD, although the substance was known as early as the second century BC.
75% of the world’s asbestos is mined in Quebec.
Exposure to asbestos fibers can cause asbestosis, various cancers and the deadly
mesothelioma which is an inoperable cancer of the chest and abdominal linings.
Because there is no known safe level of exposure to asbestos, all exposure should be
avoided.
Asbestos was used in the United States in over 3600 different building materials,
and while it is possible to suspect that a material contains asbestos, actual
determination can only be made by instrumental analysis.
Sample List of Suspect Asbestos Containing Materials
• Cement Siding/Wallboard/Cement asbestos pipes
• Window putty
• Vinyl Floor Tile/Vinyl Wall Coverings
• Vinyl Sheet Flooring/backing and adhesives
• Vermiculite attic insulation
• Construction Mastics/Joint Compounds/Spackling/Caulking/Putty
• Acoustical and Decorative Plaster
• Textured Paints and Coatings
• Ceiling Tiles and Lay-in Panels/”popcorn” ceiling texture
• Spray-on Insulation/Duct & Boiler Insulation
• Blown-in Insulation/Wiring Insulation
• Fireproofing Materials/Cooling Towers/Base Flashing
• Taping Compounds/Chalkboards/Roofing Shingles
• Packing Materials (Walls/Floors)
• Gaskets/Drywall/Roofing Felt
• Laboratory Hoods/Gloves/Table Tops
• Fire Blankets/Fire Curtains /Fire Doors
• Heating & Electrical Ducts/ Pipe Insulation

003. Sampling Protocol
This survey addresses Friable and Non-friable suspect asbestos containing materials
to meet NESHAP 40 CFR 61 (National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants) requirements for renovation and/or demolition activities.
When suspect ACM is observed our technicians are trained and proficient in
gathering samples by approved industry standards. All samples are then analyzed by an
independent EPA approved NVLAP/NIST/AIHA accredited lab that participates in the
PAT program according to 29 CFR 1910.1001, (j)(8)(ii)(A&B).
The samples are analyzed using PLM with dispersion staining to estimate the
percentage of asbestos composition by volume.
Samples in which less than 1% of asbestos mineral is detected is designated as
“None Detected” (ND) or “No Asbestos Detected” (NAD).
Random samples are gathered of each homogeneous suspect ACM identified during
a visual search. A series of samples are gathered (according to the 3-5-7 AHERA Rule)
and are read at the lab for a positive result. If positive, no other samples are read of that
material; if the sample is negative of asbestos content, the other samples are studied.
All samples gathered must be reported negative for the material to be considered “None
Detected”.
The laboratory analysis of all bulk sampling is included in this report and intended
to be an integral part of the inspection data. Guidelines require laboratories reading
asbestos samples to read all materials which are included in the submitted sample (tile,
mastics, vinyls, adhesives, leveling compounds, etc). Because we frequently submit a
“layered” sample, we may not sample mastics/adhesives separately as we feel this
would be redundant and cause confusion in the interpretation for our clients and also
result in costlier lab fees. Therefore, the number of samples gathered will not always
result in the same number of sample results received from the lab.
Not all laboratories are qualified to analyze asbestos. The lab must be NVLAP
certified, participating in the PAT Program of the Federal government.

004. Survey Methodology / Limitations
Site reconnaissance was conducted by a Certified AHERA Building Inspector, in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 763 Appendix C, who is familiar with the probable uses
and locations of suspected Asbestos Containing Building Materials (ACBM). In
addition to a visual walk through, effort is expended to disclose prior uses of the
facility, age, and characteristics of construction, and other information which helps
determine the potential presence of suspected ACBM.
This inspection report is the written opinion of a qualified Certified AHERA
Building Inspector and is based on conditions visible at the time of the site visit. This
report does not constitute a warranty of any kind. Although extensive searches are
conducted, there remains a remote possibility that asbestos in some form may lie
undetected within the structure; under a floor, inside a duct, behind a wall, or buried in
the ground. No degree of demolition was authorized or performed.
Some printed materials may be included in this report strictly for educational
purpose.
Estimated dimensions quoted in this report are approximate estimates for location
awareness of the materials and are not intended to be accurate for bidding. The
Abatement Contractor should check all measurements by site visit.
No portion of this report should be removed from its entirety; copies can be made by
folding back the pages. This report should remain on file for future reference regarding
this structure.
In older structures, it should be noted for personal safety that most window putty did
contain asbestos, and that in the process of removing the putty to repair a pane, some
individual contamination would most likely occur. Such windows should be removed
with the glass intact, and disposed of as a unit.
When flooring is considered suspect of asbestos content, the mastic should always
be treated as suspect as well, and should never be chipped, sanded or scraped until
tested to determine if asbestos is present.
All questions pertaining to this report should be directed to our office for immediate
response.
Field notes are included in this report for their interpretive value. Photo’s if taken
are included for identification.
Sample readings resulting in less than one percent (<1%) will not be recorded as
asbestos because this amount in unregulated, therefore not considered asbestos (ACM).
10
Our services have been executed in accordance with generally accepted
practices within the limitations of scope, schedule, and budget; no other conditions are
expressed or implied.
This report does not expire as long as all repairs and remodeling activities after
the inspection has been performed are conducted using new materials (not inventoried
or used) certified asbestos free; and this action is carefully documented.
Because materials are being imported into the United States from China, which
can contain asbestos, all suspect materials must be tested to ascertain whether or not
asbestos fibers are present. There no longer is a “cut off” date from the year that the
U.S. stopped the manufacturing of ACM for residential use that we can rely on.

financially compensated for, nor can it be re-printed without express authorization from
this firm.

005. Site Specification:
This Certified AHERA Building Inspection has been authorized by the owner,
Mike Pereira at 91 Cressey Lane in Port Ludlow.
The site investigation was performed on March 19th, 2021 of this single-family
home. It’s had a composition roof, wood siding. It is unoccupied, and it is planned
for demolition on the two-story side and complete renovation on the other.
(5) samples were collected on site of materials that were suspect of containing
asbestos fibers:
- Sheet Vinyl
- Drywall and Taping Mud
Suspect materials are collected wet and sealed into 2mil poly lab pouches and
were shipped by Priority Mail to our preferred asbestos -specific NVLAP laboratory
for analysis using Polarized Light Microscopy.
“Suspect Material” is defined as any building material that has ever been
documented as containing asbestos fibers or materials that closely resemble those
that have.
The base amount of asbestos that is regulated is more than one percent.
This report was prepared for the exclusive use of Mike Pereira and his agents or
representatives for specific application to this site. If new information is developed
through excavations, borings or other studies, this inspector should be retained to
re-evaluate the conclusions of this report and provide amendments as needed.

006. Summary:
The local Clean Air Agencies require a 10 day wait prior to asbestos abatement
of a commercial or other than owner-occupied structures; and requires the 14 day wait
for all demolitions. A demolition permit must be purchased from ORCAA whether
or not asbestos was identified attached to your structure.
It is required to file your Notice of Intent with Olympic Region Clean Air
Agency online at wwworcaa.org and you may phone them for more information at;
360.539.7610. Payment of the Notice of Intent will be accepted by credit/debit card.
We suggest you retain this document for as long as you own this property (or
hold contract to work on it) to verify your compliance to the asbestos standards in place
at this time.
If there are any questions, please feel free to contact this inspector:
