NARRATIVE REPORT <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />The following is the final report of the asbestos and regulated material survey performed within the <br />former residence located at 85 Viking Drive, Little Canada, MN. The sampling was performed on <br />May 10, 2007 by Keith Giorgi and Todd Giorgi of LEGEND TECHNICAL SERVICES, INC. <br />(LEGEND). <br />2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION <br />Two buildings were present on the parcel including a three level house and a detached garage. The <br />buildings are scheduled for demolition therefore destructive sampling was performed (i.e. wall <br />cavities, ceiling cavities, etc. were opened up). The survey was limited to above grade and did not <br />include identifying underground storage tanks or other buried services. <br />3.0 METHODOLOGY <br />3.1 Asbestos Sampling <br />The samples were collected in accordance with the Minnesota Department of Health Rules <br />4620.3460. The samples were analyzed by AMA Laboratories, Lanham, MD for the <br />presence of asbestos fibers using polarized light microscopy (PLM) and dispersion staining <br />techniques. The analysis was performed using an Olympus BHSP microscope at 40 -200X <br />magnification in accordance with current U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) <br />protocols, "Method for the Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Building Materials ", EPA <br />600 /R- 93/116, 1993. An asbestos containing material is defined as any material containing <br />greater than one percent asbestos as analyzed by PLM techniques. The exception is <br />vermiculite insulation which is considered as asbestos containing by the Minnesota Pollution <br />Control Agency (MPCA) if any detectable amounts of asbestos are present. <br />3.2 Lead Paint Sampling <br />Samples were collected of paints found in a deteriorated state (i.e. peeling, flaking, etc.) and <br />analyzed for lead content. The samples were analyzed in LEGEND's laboratory for lead <br />according to EPA Method 6010B using Inductive Coupled Plasma. Any paints that are in <br />poor condition and are deemed to be lead -based paints (contain greater than 5,000 parts per <br />million) must be stabilized prior to demolition. <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />5 <br />
