Asbestos and Lead Paint Assessment Services

The vendor is required to provide a pre-demolition asbestos-containing building materials (ACMS) and lead based paint (LBP) survey of all existing structures at each site and create a report of such activities.
- Inspector performing an inspection for the pre-demolition asbestos survey must provide photographic documentation of every step and perform or include the following:
• An EPA and act approved inspector must visually inspect the entire structure (interior and exterior) and identify the locations of all suspected ACM.
• Touch all suspected ACM to determine whether they are friable.
• Identify all homogeneous areas of friable suspected ACM and all homogeneous areas of non-friable suspected ACM.
• Confirmatory bulk sampling must be performed by the inspector to confirm and deny asbestos content. 
• Bulk samples are analyzed by polarized light microscopy in an EPA-certified laboratory.
• Bulk sampling shall include destructive sampling to identify ACM in concealed areas such as behind walls and above ceilings, etc.
• Assume that some or all of the homogeneous areas are ACM, and, for each homogeneous area that is not assumed to be ACM, collect and submit for analyses bulk samples under §§ 763.86 and 763.87.
• Friable material in areas where samples are collected, friable material in areas that are assumed to be ACM, and friable ACM identified during any previous inspection.
• At the end of such survey, inspection, sampling and testing the inspector shall compile a detailed assessment report containing identified ACM materials, quantities, and analytical results that follow all applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations.
- Pre-demolition lead survey
• The pre-demolition lead survey must include a report on LBP or lead-containing building materials wherein “an inspector licensed by the state of shall identify and test for the presence of suspected and presumed lead in the building or structure to be demolished”.
• The survey will classify each suspect lead material identified, with regards to type, category, and condition.
• The lead content of any material type identified as suspected to contain or be lead shall be confirmed through testing.
• Licensed lead inspector and risk assessor shall complete LBP survey to identify building components associated with the structures that, based on the age of the building component, are likely to be coated with paint containing lead.
