Subject: Asbestos Inspection Report
Vector Environmental Consulting Inc. conducted a comprehensive pre-renovation asbestos
inspection at the above-referenced address. All suspect materials were sampled in accordance
with the regulations. Sampling methodology, laboratory reports and recommendations can be
found on subsequent pages of this report.
Regulatory Requirements
EPA's air toxics regulation for asbestos is intended to minimize the release of asbestos fibers
during activities involving the handling of asbestos.
Air toxics regulations under the Clean Air Act specify work practices for asbestos to be followed
during demolitions and renovations of all facilities, including, but not limited to, structures,
installations, and buildings. The regulations require a thorough inspection where the demolition
or renovation operation will occur.
The EPA’s regulations (40 CFR 61 Subpart M) in reference to asbestos containing materials are
enforced locally by Air Pollution Control Districts and/or Air Quality Management Districts.
South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) is the governing agency regarding
asbestos containing materials in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties.
Their rule 1403 mandates all sampling requirements and regulates the removal and disposal of
asbestos containing materials within these regions.
Other areas such as San Diego County utilize different regulatory authorities, such as, San Diego
Air Pollution Control Division and their rule 1206 for local enforcement of asbestos. Ensure your
contactor and/or consultant follow the local regulations required for inspections and removals.

Sampling Methodology
Vector Environmental staff adheres to all federal and local regulations during inspections. Our
staff utilizes safe work practices during all sampling procedures to ensure the occupants of the
structure are not exposed to unwanted hazardous materials. Our inspections range from visual
verification and assumptions to physical sampling and laboratory analysis. Sampling of
materials during this inspection comply with the provisions of 40 CFR Part 763.86. David G
Johnson (CAC #22-6940) conducted this inspection on June 26th, 2023.
Vector Environmental incorporates the use of leak tight containers and physical markings to
identify the location, and sample type of the material collected. These samples are further
logged on a chain of custody and sampling diagram, both of which, can be found on ensuing
pages of this report. All sampling was conducted following the provision of 40 CFR Part
763.86.
All of the samples collected during our inspection are transferred to an accredited laboratory who
has participated in the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). Vector
Environmental utilizes the services of EmLab P&K, LLC (NVLAP 200757-0) 2841 Dow
Avenue, Suite 300, Tustin, CA 92780 (866) 465-6653.
Laboratory Analysis
Laboratories are required to adhere to an additional set of regulations (40 CFR part 763, Section
1, Appendix A, Polarized Light Microscopy) to analyze bulk samples of suspected asbestos
containing materials.
A low-power binocular microscope, preferably stereoscopic, is used to examine the bulk samples
received by the investigator. Bulk samples of building materials taken for the identification and
quantitation of asbestos are first examined for homogeneity at low magnification with the aid of
a stereomicroscope. Once the homogeneity is determined the samples are analyzed by each
present layer. The samples are commonly reported in % by weight.
Asbestos containing materials are materials found to contain greater than one percent asbestos by
weight utilizing Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM); However, this analysis is not without it
flaws. PLM analysis is only accurate down to ten percent of a materials’ weight. Thus, any
result found to contain anything less than ten percent is the laboratory’s best guess at
composition.
When a material contains suspected fibers in such a low concentration that a laboratory
technician cannot accurately determine if the material is likely over one percent, a less than one
percent or “trace” asbestos result is given. If a less than one percent or “trace” asbestos result is
received, a Certified Asbestos Consultant (CAC) is required to either assume the material to
contain greater than one percent or conduct further analysis of the material utilizing the 1000
point-count method (EPA 40CFR App E to Sub E of Part 763 & EPA METHOD 600/R-93-116,
SOP EM-AS-S-1262). Once the materials have been accurately analyzed utilizing this method,
reports can reveal a content of as low as less than one tenth of one percent. These results are then
interpreted by the CAC and determined the regulations implicated on the materials.
Even trace amounts of asbestos can be regulated by agencies other than the EPA, such as,
OSHA.

Suspect Materials
Suspect materials are an indicator of sampling requirements within a structure. Areas can be
considered homogeneous in composition of the materials are of like condition, application, and
age. These homogeneous areas are compiled to determine the number of samples required for
each material. As the consultant a CAC makes the determination for homogenous areas. With
this information the consultant determines the number of samples needed for an accurate
representation of the structure’s composition.
Examples of Suspect Materials (including but not limited to):
• Vinyl Floor Tile
• Flooring Mastic
• Plaster
• Drywall & Joint Compound
• Window Putty
• Linoleum
• Acoustic Ceiling Texture
• Ducting & Registers
• Composition Roofing
• Penetration & Patch Mastic
• Stucco
• Asphalt
• Concrete
Vector Environmental uses this information to determine the sampling areas of a structure and
compiles our data for use in the field. The above-mentioned materials are NOT inclusive of
ALL suspect materials; rather, an example of materials that could potentially contain asbestos
within a structure.
Below is a List of Suspect Materials Collected During This Inspection:
• Drywall
• Joint Compound
• Stucco
Results
As mentioned earlier in this document Vector Environmental collects these samples and submits
them to an accredited laboratory for analysis. EmLab P&K, LLC (NVLAP 200757-0) 2841 Dow
Avenue, Suite 300, Tustin, CA 92780 (866) 465-6653.was utilized for this project.
The table below illustrates the materials at the site that were determined by the laboratory to
contain greater than one percent asbestos by weight. Some areas may be combined for
homogeneity during the inspections process. Therefore, some areas of similar condition found at
the site may not be sampled specifically. The quantities provided in the table below are an
estimation of the materials on site and should not be used for bidding purposes. It is the
responsibility of the contractor to conduct “take-offs” for their own work.

No Asbestos Detected
Summary
Although we aggressively search all areas of the structure (wall cavities, plenums, etc.)
additional suspect materials and/or debris may be present in concealed spaces but will only be
accessible during the course of demolition activities. Care must be exercised when accessing
these areas. Any suspect materials encountered during the course of demolition/renovation
activities that were not previously sampled must be presumed to be asbestos containing until
sampled and proven otherwise.

all samples after a period of thirty (30) days, according to all state and federal guidelines, unless otherwise specified.
Inhomogeneous samples are separated into homogeneous subsamples and analyzed individually. ND means no fibers were detected. When
detected, the minimum detection and reporting limit is less than 1% unless point counting is performed. Floor tile samples may contain large
amounts of interference material and it is recommended that the sample be analyzed by gravimetric point count analysis to lower the detection
limit and to aid in asbestos identification.
