ACM ENGINEERING & ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES <br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA ■ FORT WAYNE, INDIANA • ELMHURST, ILLINOIS <br />TAMPA, FLORIDA • FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA <br />ENGINEERING & <br />ENVIRONMENTAL <br />SERVICES <br />3. BULK SAMPLING <br />ACM will conduct bulk sampling of all suspect asbestos materials. A minimum <br />of twenty (20) samples will be collected and analyzed. <br />4. LABORATORY <br />All bulk samples will be analyzed by our in-house laboratory, which is accredited <br />by the US EPA in accordance with 40 CFR, Part 763, Subpart F, Appendix A of <br />the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). Our laboratory <br />achieved a perfect score in the US EPA Laboratory Quality Assurance Program. <br />Our laboratory microscopists are graduates of the 5-day program given by <br />McCrone Research Institute. All bulk samples are analyzed under polarized light <br />microscopes utilizing the US EPA's recommended "central stop dispersion <br />staining" technique. Results include the type and percentage of asbestos fibers <br />identified, non -asbestos fibers identified, and other non -fibrous materials, such as <br />rocks, binder, filler, etc. <br />The US EPA and the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program <br />(NVLAP) accredit our laboratory. <br />5. ASBESTOS INSPECTION REPORT <br />An inspection report will be generated identifying each homogenous material, <br />noting the material type, location(s), quantity, condition, and whether or not <br />asbestos was present. In addition, each sample site location will include an <br />inspection sheet noting sample sites and laboratory analysis. <br />6. ASBESTOS RISK INSPECTION <br />As a result of the inspection and bulk sampling tasks, ACM will assemble and <br />document information on the relative degree of risk resulting from the types of <br />ACBM and their condition. <br />7. ASBESTOS AND LEAD PAINT INSPECTION SCHEDULE <br />The anticipated on -site inspection time period is one (1) day. Our current <br />workload will require two (2) days notice to proceed with the on -site work. <br />26598 U.S. 20 WEST • SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46628 • PHONE (574) 234-8435 • PAX (574) 234-6800 • www.acmenv.com <br />
