142 CANAL STREET ASBESTOS INSPECTION REPORTLg Logo P1 Header Mark Livesey Symes Associates 50 Dodge Street Beverly, Massachusetts 01915 RE:FLI Project #:22-2576 Inspection for Asbestos Containing Materials at Dear Mr. Livesey: Inspection Summary: Asbestos Inspector:Samantha Lopez License #:AI900988 Date of Inspection: Total Materials Sampled:3 Samples Analyzed At: NIST/NVLAP Certification#:200919-0 MassDLS Lab Certification#:AA000208 FLI Environmental, Inc. performed an inspection for asbestos containing materials (ACMs) at the property located at the address noted above. This report outlines the initial visual survey, sample collection and summary of analytical results provided by FLI. Asbestos Identification Laboratory, Inc. Scope and Approach: FLI provided a state licensed and EPA AHERA accredited asbestos inspector to perform an inspection of the subject area(s). The purpose of the inspection was to identify and sample building materials suspected to contain asbestos. Suspect materials include thermal system insulation, fireproofing, soundproofing, plasters, skimcoating, spray-applied or trowel applied finishes, ceiling & floor tiles, sheet flooring, caulking, glazing, mastics, adhesives, cement board products, roofing materials and numerous other products. Materials having the same function/application, similar color, texture or other observed similar characteristics were grouped together and sampled as one homogeneous material. A minimum of 2 samples of each homogenous material were collected.

Bulk samples were collected in a random manner and submitted via chain of custody to the analytical laboratory. The samples were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy per EPA Method 600/R-93-116, July 1993. The detection limit of the EPA recommended method is one percent asbestos by weight. Materials containing greater than one percent asbestos are treated as asbestos-containing as required by the EPA. The laboratory is accredited by the National Institute of Standards and Technologies NIST/NVLAP Program and licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Labor Standards (DLS) for asbestos analysis in bulk materials. Homogeneous materials determined to be non-suspect by the inspector (if observed), include concrete floors, wood flooring/joists, concrete block, black/brown vinyl flexible duct connectors, fiberglass insulation, armaflex (neoprene) insulation, rubber, plastic, ceramic tile, glass and metal. Any homogeneous material having at least one (1) sample analytically identified as containing one percent (1%) asbestos or greater is categorized as an asbestos containing material. Any material analytically identified as containing any asbestos fibers is categorized as an asbestos containing waste material. A summary of materials identified to contain asbestos is provided in Appendix A including approximate location(s) of the material and estimated quantities. Laboratory Analytical Data Sheets for each sample analyzed are included in Appendix C. Homogeneous materials where each sample analyzed was determined not to contain asbestos are categorized as non-asbestos. A summary of non-asbestos materials is provided in Appendix B. Laboratory Analytical Data Sheets for each sample analyzed are included in Appendix C. December 22, 2022 If present, areas within walls, drywall encased columns and above ceilings were inspected where possible in accessible representative locations. However, each individual enclosed area was not inspected. Accessible areas beneath such surfaces were examined and sampled, and material quantities were estimated based on these observations. Additional suspect materials may be present beneath surfaces (multiple layers) or within chases or crawlspace areas that were unknown or unaccessible at the time of the inspection but may be discovered during demolition, renovation or maintenance activities. Any additional suspect materials not identified in this report that become exposed during building renovation, maintenance or demolition should be sampled and analyzed for asbestos content prior to disturbing.

Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact our office at (781) 251-0040. Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with our services and we look forward to working together in the future. None of the suspect materials sampled were determined to have asbestos fibers present when analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy This report is not meant to be used as an asbestos abatement plan or abatement specification. Material quantities and locations are estimates and approximations and should not be used to obtain pricing from contractors. FLI recommends contracting for abatement after an abatement specification is prepared by a licensed Asbestos Project Designer.

Michael Manning Owner/Director Asbestos Identification Laboratory has completed the analysis of the samples from your office for the above referenced project. The Analysis Method is BULK PLM ANALYSIS, EPA/600/R-93/116The information and analysis contained in this report have been generated using the EPA /600/R-93/116 Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials. Materials or products that contain more than 1% of any kind or combination of asbestos are considered an asbestos containing building material as determined by the EPA. This Polarized Light Microscope (PLM) technique may be performed either by visual estimation or point counting. Point counting provides a determination of the area percentage of asbestos in a sample. If the asbestos is estimated to be less than 10% by visual estimation of friable material, the determination may be repeated using the point counting technique. The results of the point counting supersede visual PLM results. Results in this report only relate to the items tested. This report may not be used by the customer to claim product endorsement by NVLAP or any other U.S. Government Agency.
