The Structural Engineer's Report in Attachment 5 presupposes a heightened risk to human <br /> health and safety upon entry into the building.As the Main Structure could not be inspected,all demolition <br /> debris is presumed to be asbestos-contaminated waste and demolition is recommended to proceed as <br /> outlined in Attachment 1. <br /> The Power House Structure is a non-contiguous building that supplied the Main Structure with steam and <br /> heated water.The Power House was accessible and was inspected for friable and non-friable asbestos- <br /> containing materials(AGMs).Based on CG's assessment, a determination was made that no Suspect-ACM <br /> was present in the Powerhouse Structure. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> L.
