LEAD SURVEY REPORT Old Bethel Elementary School Midland, North Carolina Terracon Project No. 71107255 November 29, 2010 1.0 INTRODUCTION Terracon conducted a lead survey of the Old Bethel Elementary School located at 2240 Highway 24/27 in Midland, North Carolina. The survey was conducted between November 29, 2010 and December 6, 2010 by Terracon's inspectors in general accordance with Terracon Proposal No. 71107Al29 dated November 17, 2010. Interior and exterior building components were surveyed and unique combinations of suspect lead paint (LP) were visually identified and documented. Although reasonable effort was made to survey accessible suspect materials, additional suspect but un- sampled materials could be located in walls, in voids, below the ground or in other concealed areas. Suspect LP samples were collected from representative locations of suspect LP. Samples were delivered to an accredited laboratory for analysis by flame atomic absorption ( FAA). 1.1 Project Objective We understand this lead survey was requested due to the planned demolition of the structures at the site. During demolition activities, workers must be protected from exposure to lead. OSHA regulates occupational exposure to lead in the Lead in Construction Standard, 29 CFR 1926.62. 2.0 BUILDING DESCRIPTION The Old Bethel Elementary School site includes several building and outbuildings.
