ASBESTOS SURVEY REPORT <br />Old Bethel Elementary School <br />Midland, North Carolina <br />Terracon Project No. 71107255 <br />November 29, 2010 <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />Terracon conducted an asbestos survey of the Old Bethel Elementary School located at 2240 <br />Highway 24127 in Midland, North Carolina. The survey was conducted between November 29, <br />2010 and December 6, 2010 by State of North Carolina accredited asbestos inspectors in <br />general accordance with Terracon Proposal No. 71107Al28 dated November 17, 2010. Interior <br />and exterior building components were surveyed and homogeneous areas of suspect asbestos - <br />containing materials (ACM) were visually identified and documented. Although reasonable effort <br />was made to survey accessible suspect materials, additional suspect but un- sampled materials <br />could be located in walls, in voids, below the ground or in other concealed areas. Suspect ACM <br />samples were collected in general accordance with the sampling protocols outlined in EPA <br />regulation 40 CFR 763 (Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act, AHERA). Samples were <br />delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by polarized light microscopy. <br />1.1 Project Objective <br />We understand this asbestos survey was requested due to the planned demolition of the <br />structures at the site. EPA regulation 40 CFR 61, Subpart M, National Emission Standards for <br />Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), prohibits the release of asbestos fibers to the atmosphere <br />during renovation or demolition activities. The asbestos NESHAP requires that potentially <br />regulated asbestos - containing building materials be identified, classified and quantified prior to <br />planned disturbances or demolition activities. <br />2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION <br />The Old Bethel Elementary School site includes several building and outbuildings. Building A is <br />located closest to the highway. It was originally constructed in 1927 and reported to have two <br />additions. The building is approximately 30,000 square feet and is two stories with a partial, <br />unfinished basement and a crawlspace. The structure is wood frame construction with brick <br />exterior and a flat membrane roof. Interior finishes include plaster and wood panel walls, <br />suspended ceiling files and wood floors with coverings of floor tile. The heating system was a <br />boiler and radiator system, but the original boiler has been removed. The cooling system <br />consists of several closet mounted units connected to roof- mounted condensing units. <br />Reliable ■ Responsive ■ Convenient ■ Innovative <br />1 <br />Attachment number 4 <br />G -6 Page 281 <br />
