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_ Tc t�i m--�•-��j :,o <br /> Courtice E Bowman,P.E. <br /> Illinois Licensed Professional Engineer;License No. 062-054109;Ecpires 11130125 <br /> Illinois Department of Public Health Licensed Professional,License No. 100-04103;Expires 05115125 <br /> Member,American Society of Safety Professionals,Practice Specialty:Engineering,Expiring 10131124 <br /> attachments <br /> PO Box 71 1 1701 S Hamilton I Sullivan,IL 61951 217.728.4860.Phone 1217.728.2697.Fax I CourticeGrason.com <br /> Environmental Contracting and Consulting I Licensed Engineering Design Firm(Illinois CDB Prequalified Company <br />
