Asbestos and Hazardous Materials Assessment – Sidney, Ohio

As part of a Structural and Property Condition Report for the City of Sidney, STONE conducted a visual assessment of Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) for the 50,000+ square foot, 5-story office building planned for demolition. Hazardous materials including regulated and universal wastes were observed throughout the building. This included household size containers of paints, adhesives, cleaning chemicals; coatings and acetone; as well as fluorescent bulbs; light ballasts that may be Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB)-containing; mercury thermostats; air conditioning units; and drinking water fountains that may contain Freon.

The visual assessment included noting suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACM). Suspect ACM was observed throughout. The condition of the material was rated as to the extent of damage. Undamaged material was given an assessment of “good”. Material having less than 25% localized or less than 10% distributed damage was given a “fair” condition assessment. Materials having more than 25% localized or more than 10% distributed damage was given a “poor” condition assessment.

“STONE is an instrumental part of our team on the Portsmouth By-Pass Project: the 16-mile new construction project, which is the single largest project in ODOT history. This project has come with more than its share of environmental challenges. STONE has delivered over 30 full environmental clearance reviews and reports we have requested as part of the project, handling them from start to finish in a very timely & cost effective manner. Furthermore, they’ve proven themselves as an extremely valuable resource when it comes to consulting on mitigation efforts, hazardous materials, and resolving various unknown environmental situations that the project has encountered.

 

From the top down STONE has proven they are committed to excellence and we look forward to working with them on many projects in the future.”
