At the time of this survey the asbestos dump site between CertainTeed and G.A.F. was being graded and earth covered. Two area samples ('Entry No. 018 and 019), taken on October 24, 1979, were specifically taken near the dump site to de termine the airborne concentrations from the grading operations. These samples were in parallel to personal samples taken by Industrial Testing Lab of St. Louis, Missouri.
AH samples taken and analyzed, fell well within the OSHA Standard of 2,0 fibers/cubic centimeter of air, with a range Of 0.0020 to 0,1510 f/cc.
