Materials that were sampled included ceramic tile thin -set and grout, wallboard systems walls, and wallboard system ceilings. This assessment found no Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM) detected in any of the suspect materials sampled. An ACM is a material that contains greater than 1% asbestos by weight or volume as determined via Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) methods. PURPOSE OF SURVEY ATOKA, Inc. was retained by BMD Builders LLC to inspect the building for the presence of asbestos containing materials prior to any renovation/demolition. ATOKA, Inc. visited the building on May 4, 2023, for the purpose of inspecting, sampling and quantifying ACM. ATOKA, Inc. inspected the building to identify suspect asbestos containing material (SACM), which is classified into two categories. Those materials which can be reduced to powder or crumbled under light hand pressure are referred to as "friable" ACM (e.g., ceiling textures and ceiling tiles, thermal system insulation, etc.). Those materials that cannot be easily crumbled are referred to as "non -friable" ACM (e.g., resilient flooring, roofing, mastics, etc.). The inspection was conducted by Vick Loomis of ATOKA, Inc. Mr. Loomis is an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accredited and licensed Arkansas Asbestos Inspector's (License # 008695) who has been trained to survey, sample, and assess the conditions of SACM. ATOKA, Inc. is an ADEQ licensed Asbestos Consultant in good standing (License #000242). SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS ATOKA, Inc. conducted an asbestos assessment in general accordance with EPA NESHAP protocol requiring that a sufficient number of bulk samples be collected that represent each homogeneous SACM. ATOKA, Inc. identified suspect asbestos containing materials (SACM) and characterized these Asbestos Survey — Old Pizza Hut Bld., 913 McMath Ave, Little Rock, AR, 72202 ATOKA, Inc Project # 23-312, 1701 I-30 Suite 119, Little Rock, AR - Ph 501-455-1700 - Fax 501-455-1864 materials into distinct homogeneous areas during the site visit inspection. During the course of the inspection this information was then used to establish a sampling plan. The samples of SACM collected from the building were obtained by physically removing a small portion (approximately one square inch) of the material using a sharp instrument. All layers of the material samples were penetrated and registered as separate samples. Disturbance of adjacent material was kept to a minimum during the sampling program. Each sample was placed into a separate labeled container, which was then sealed. The sampling instrument was cleaned to remove materials that could cross -contaminate the next sample. Each sample was labeled with the sample number and location and logged onto the floor plan. All samples collected during the site investigation are listed in Appendix A. Three (3) SACM's were identified of which six (6) samples were collected and analyzed for asbestos using the EPA "Interim Method for Determination of Asbestos in Bulk Insulation Samples" [40 CFR Part 763, Appendix E, Subpart E, improved (EPA-600/R-93/116)], by Crisp Laboratory, a NVLAP Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) accredited laboratory. The ACM as determined by PLM examination are those materials which contain greater than 1% asbestos by weight or volume. REPORT OF FINDINGS There was no asbestos detected in any of the samples collected. The laboratory report for bulk sample PLM analysis is found in Appendix ' A" of this document. RECOMMENDATIONS ATOKA, Inc., recommends that this report and all records should be kept by the building owner as long as the building is in existence. All information concerning this property should be forwarded to all future property owners and made available to outside contractors that may disturb the materials identified to contain asbestos. ATOKA, Inc. recommends that prior to any demolition of a building, the mandatory ten (10) day Notice of Intent (NOI) be filed with the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) as required by EPA NESHAP regulations and Arkansas Asbestos Abatement Regulation # 21 effective 1997.

R-93 / 116 (Improved). The sample is first viewed with the aid of a stereomicroscope. Numerous liquid slide preparations are created for analysis under the polarized microscope where identifications and quantifications are preformed. Calibrated liquid refractive oils are used as liquid mouting medium. These oils are used for Identification (dispersion staining). A calibrated visual estimation is reported, should any asbestlfonn mineral be present. Other techniques such as acid washing are used in conjugation with refractive oils for detection of smaller quantities of asbestos. All asbestos percentages are based on calibrated visual estimation traceable to NIST standards for regulated asbestos. Traceability to measurement and calibration Is achieved by using known amounts and types of asbestos from standards where analyst and laboratory accuracy are measured. As little as 0.001% asbestos can be detected In favorable samples, while detection In unfavorable samples may approach the detection limit of 0.50% (well above the laboratory definition of trace). Disci.Ls oiit Vermiculite containing samples may contain trace amounts of actinollteAremolite. When not deleted by PLM, these samples should be analyzed using TEM methods and I or water separation techniques. Suspected actinolite/vermicullte presence will be Indicated through the sample comment section of this report. Fibrous talc containing samples may contain a regulated asbestos fiber known as anthophyllits. Under certain conditions the same fiber may actually contain both talc and anthophyllite (a phenomenon called Intergrowth). Again, TEM detection methods are recommended. CA Labs PLM report comments will denote suspected amounts of asbestiform anthophyllite with talc, where further analysis is recommended. Some samples (floor tiles, surfacings, etc.) may contain fibers too small to be detectable by PLM analysis and should be analyzed by TEM bulk protocols. A 'trace asbestos' will be reported 9 the analyst observes far less than 1 % asbestos. CA Labs dines "trace asbestos" as a few fibers detected by the analyst In several preparations and will indicate as such under these circumstances. Since allowable variation In quantification of samples close to 1% Is high, <1% maybe reported. Such results are Ideal for point counting, and the technique Is mandatory for friable samples (NESHAP, Nov. 1990 and clarification letter 8 May 1991) under 1% percent asbestos or "trace asbestos". In order to make all InittaI PLM reports Issued from CA Labs NESHAP compliant, all <1% asbestos results (except floor tiles) will be point counted at no addltlonal charge. Qualifications CA Labs is accredited by the National Voluntary Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for selected test methods for airborne fiber analysis (TEM), and for bulk asbestos fiber analysis (PLM). CA Labs Is also accredited by AIHA LAP, LLC. in the PLM asbestos field of testing for Industrial Hygiene. All analysts have completed college courses or hold a degree in a natural science (geology, biology, or environmental science). Recognition by a state professional board in one these disciplines is preferred, but not required. Extensive in-house training programs are used to augment the educational background of the analyst. The Laboratory Director and Quality Manager have received supplemental McCrone Research training for asbestos identification.
