ASBESTOS SURVEY HIGH LINE
PLAINTIFF'S EXHIBIT ASA-1515
An asbestos survey was conducted in December, 1995 following guidelines established by 40 CFR 763, Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). The intent of the inspection is to locate and sample suspect asbestos containing material (ACM) and suspect asbestos containing building material (ACBM).
The following guidelines were used while conducting the inspection.
1. The bulk sampling was conducted by an accredited Inspector in accordance with section 206 of Title II of the Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601.
2. A walk through of the area was conducted before bulk sampling was performed in order to aid in the determination of possible ACM or ACBM locations.
3. The inspector visually inspected the areas to determine locations of the suspect ACM or ACBM. All sample locations were documented by the inspector.
4. When the suspected ACM or ACBM was discovered, the material was touched by the inspector to determine friability.
5. Homogeneous areas, defined by the type of material, were determined by the inspector.
6. For each homogeneous area, a representative sample or samples were taken by the inspector.
7. Samples were sent to an accredited laboratory and analyzed by PLM microscopy to determine the type and amount of asbestos content.

SUMMARY: HIGH LINE
Trestle Support: Wood/steel supports and structures. No suspect asbestos containing material found
Level 1: Steel high line supports, steel floor plates, angle iron hand rails, wood railroad ties, steel rails, and corrugated metal siding. Pipe rack(s) consisting of steel pipe, no insulation present. Steel tank (150 gallon), fiberglass insulation. No suspect asbestos containing material found.
Level 2: Steel supports, steel floor plates, and angle iron hand rails. Tin shed, wood structures, tar roc Hag material, and asphalt shakes. Remnants of four steel hoppers, steel shoots, and diverters. Tar and roofing material, located on the tin shed, contain asbestos.
Level 3: Steel supports, s: ed/wood floor plates, and angle iron hand rails. Three conveyor belt systems: Belt nl5: Existing transite siding, roofing material; 750 sq. feet. Belt if] 5: ! lemoved transite siding, roofing material; 3600 sq/ feet. Belt = IC: Corrugated steel siding. Belt # 17: Corrugated steel siding. Transite siding and roofing material located at conveyor belt #15.
NOTE: Should unidentified gaskets be found within the survey facility, gaskets should be assumed (<: cm.tain asbestos.

SUMMARY OF ASBESTOS M ATER IAL FOUND
H IG H LIN E
Friable asbestos m aterial: means any material containing more than one percent asbestos as determined by PLM when dry can be crumbled, pulverized or reduced to powder by
fhand pressure. Further, i the.asbestos content is less than_lfl% as determined by a method other than point counting bv PLM then the tester must verify
the asbestos content bv point counting using PLM.
