INTRODUCTION

As requested by the Albuquerque Area Indian Health Service, bulk sampling of suspect asbestoscontaining building materials was conducted on eight (8) facility buildings at the Santa Fe Service Unit in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Sampling occurred on December 10 to December 21, 2006. Bulk samples of suspect asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) were collected throughout the interior and exterior of each building. Non-destructive sampling practices were utilized during the inspection. Federal Occupational Health (FOH) representatives Mr. Donovan Denny, Mr. Landon Johnson, Ms. Stephanie Jury, Mr. James Marshall and Mrs. Suzette Numkena, performed the asbestos inspections. Each inspector holds current Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) accreditation as Asbestos Building Inspectors. Certifications for each inspector can be found in Appendix 4. Sampling of suspect asbestos-containing materials was conducted using procedures similar to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) AHERA regulation, 40 CFR 763. Samples were analyzed by Fiberquant Analytical Services in Phoenix, Arizona. Fiberquant is fully accredited by the EPA-required National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for analysis of asbestos bulk samples using polarized light microscopy, and is also an American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accredited laboratory.
