Once a visual <br />inspection was performed of the property, representative asbestos bulk samples were obtained <br />from each homogenous building material. LBP readings were also collected utilizing an X -Ray <br />Fluorescence (XRF) lead -based paint analyzer. The sample location, material type, friability, <br />condition of material, and quantity were also documented. <br />Asbestos bulk sampling was obtained in accordance with the USEPA established guidelines <br />document, "Guidance for Controlling Asbestos - Containing Materials in Buildings" (USEPA <br />560/5 -85 -024, 1985) and USEPA 40 CFR Part 763 "Asbestos- Containing Materials in Schools, <br />Final Rule" (AHERA). Each bulk sample was analyzed for Asbestos content by Polarized Light <br />Microscopy (PLM). Forensic Analytical is the accredited laboratory that performed the analysis <br />for Asbestos. A total of 10 asbestos bulk samples were obtained during the survey. <br />Lead -based paint readings were collected in accordance with Chapter 7 of the HUD Guidelines <br />for Evaluation and Control of Lead -Based Paint Hazards in Housing and U.S. Environmental <br />Protection Agency (EPA) 40 CFR part 745 and Title X of the 1992 Housing and Community <br />Development Act. A total of 34 XRF readings were obtained during the survey. <br />All areas of the site were visually inspected.
