Analysis of Bulk Samples for Asbestos Using Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM)
Sheila Cartney
City of Columbia Heights
590 40th Ave. N . E.
Columbia Heights MN 55421
Re: 4133 2nd Street
Number of Samples: 69
Methods and Definitions
The submitted samples were analyzed using the EPA Interim Method #600/M4 -82 -020
(polarized light microscopy with dispersion staining). The method defines an asbestos containing material
as one that contains grater than 1% asbestos by weight and asbestas is defined as the fibrous forms of serpentine
and certain amphiboles. While the fibrous and non - fibrous forms of minerals are discernible microscopically
in hand specimens, the distinction between them is not clear on a microscopic level, especially after processing or
manufacturing. Fibrous amphiboles are generally those whose mean aspect ratios (length over width)
under the microscope are approximately >10; non fibrous amphiboles are generally those whose mean
aspect ratios are approximately <6. During analysis, morphology and an estimate of mean aspect ratio
are used to assign a given mineral fiber population to fibrous and non - fibrous categories.
That non fibrous amphiboles are not reported as asbestos is consistent with mineralogical definitions,
but does not imply that non-fibrous amphiboles are not hazardous. Airborne concentrations of them
may be regulated by OSHA under certain circumstances. The type of dispersion staining
used is generally phase contrast, although central stop dispersion staining may also be used.
Percentage Reporting
The percentage of each fiber type present was determined using volume percents
estimated from stereoscopic examination, projected area percents from mounted slide
examination and percents from comparison to weight percent standards. Such estimations are suitable
for most samples, but do have large error ranges. Errors are estimated to be 100 relative percent uncertainty
for percentage estimates under10% ranging down to as little as10 relative percent uncertainty for
percentage estimates greater than 50 %. Friable samples which have been estimated by the above methods to
contain less than 10% asbestos can be point- counted, according to the EPA Interim Methods, as required by NESHAPS.
in low percentage samples, point counting may produce false negatives or positives, due to the small number
of points counted. For samples consisting of more than one apparent type of material or layer, the percentage
of each fiber type in each type of material of layer is determined and reported separately; an overall average for the
sample of each fiber type is then calculated. The reported friability of a sample refers to that friability observed in the
condition analyzed (broken, crushed, etc.), and is not to be substituted for an on -site assessment of friability.
Each Angstrom Analytical lab report relates only to the sample tested and may not, due to the sampling process be
representative of the material sampled.

Concrete items shall be sawed at cut lines, and bituminous areas shall be cut to neat lines
prior to placement of finish restoration items. Some damage to the boulevard area is
anticipated as necessary for construction procedure and compensation will be made for
restoration; however, damage due to extra convenience or negligence of the Contractor or
outside of the construction limits must be repaired by him at his own cost.
The sawing or cutting of any existing monolithic sidewalks, concrete pipe or concrete
structures, driveways, curbs and gutters, or bituminous pavement and to allow proper
matching with new construction shall be accomplished by the Contractor as an incidental
item to the contract for payment purposes unless specifically noted as a pay item in the
specifications or indicated on the plans.
The Contractor shall remove and replace any fence within the construction limits of this
contract. All fences shall be replaced in a condition better than or equal to that which
existed before construction. Unless a pay item is included on the proposal form, payment
for fence removal and replacement shall be incidental to the improvement construction
and no direct compensation will be paid therefor.
Miscellaneous structures that must be removed shall be disposed of by the Contractor at
his option subject to applicable City, County, and State regulations. Materials may not
be buried on -site except as directed in writing by the Engineer.
