A. Introduction
Braun Intertec Corporation was retained by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to conduct a
pre-demolition Hazardous Materials (HazMat) Survey/Inspection of the Former Gary’s Furniture property
located at 109 Main Avenue East in Frazee, Becker County, Minnesota (the Site). The Assessment,
Cleanup & Redevelopment Exchange System (ACRES) Property ID is #210341. The general scope,
methods and procedures for the HazMat Inspection were described in the Sampling and Analysis Plan
(SAP) prepared by Braun Intertec dated March 28, 2016, which was approved by the MPCA and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 5.
The HazMat Inspection Activities were completed per our Professional and Technical Services Master
Contract (SWIFT Contract No. #63181; Purchase Order 3000016982) under the Minnesota Targeted
Brownfields Assessment Program (MNTBAP). MNTBAP Program is administered by the MPCA and is
funded from 128(a) assessment money provided by the EPA (Cooperative Agreement #RP-96529808).
Braun Intertec completed an initial HazMat Inspection of the Site, the results of which were presented in
a report dated June 30, 2016. Following issuance of the report, the MPCA authorized follow-up sampling
at the Site which was conducted in August 2016 and included additional sampling of floor tile from the
on-site buildings and destructive sampling of the train car located at the Site. The results of the follow-up
sampling have been incorporated into this “revised” HazMat Inspection Report.
B. Scope of Services
The general scope of services for the HazMat Inspection included:
Visually examine accessible areas and identify locations of suspect asbestos-containing
material (ACM), lead, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), mercury, and other miscellaneous
hazardous material.
Collect and analyze representative bulk samples of materials suspected of containing
asbestos.
Conduct limited lead-based paint testing of painted surfaces suspected of containing lead.
Document the various materials' current conditions and ACM quantities.

Generate a final report documenting the sample locations, analysis results, conditions, ACM
quantities and recommendations.
C. Site Description
The Site located at 109 Main Avenue East in Frazee, Minnesota. The building consists of multiple
individual buildings connected through doorways. The building consists of a single-story wood, metal,
concrete block and masonry structure with three individual basements. There are six individual (but
connected) buildings that were constructed between 1900 and 1906, and encompasses 17,700 square
feet. The typical interior finishes include sheetrock/joint compound, plaster, floor tile, lay-in ceiling
panels, vinyl sheet flooring and carpet. A railroad train car is located within the lower west showroom of
the buildings. The exterior of the buildings has wood and metal siding with an asphalt roof shingle, rock
and tar, and rubber membrane roof system. The buildings were vacant and unoccupied at the time of the
inspection.
D. Results
D.1. Asbestos
Seventy-eight bulk samples were collected from the site buildings on May 26, 2016 and June 1, 2016. The
samples were submitted to EMSL Analytical, Inc. (EMSL) in Plymouth, Minnesota for analysis. The follow-
up sampling was conducted on August 22, 2016 and included collection of several floor tiles (Sample No.
35 and 36), and a floor tile sample from within the train car (Sample No. 56). These additional samples
were submitted to EMSL for asbestos analysis using the Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) method.
D.1.a. Asbestos-Containing Materials
The following is a summary of building materials found to contain greater than one percent asbestos
(asbestos-containing materials by regulatory definition).
2-foot by 4-foot ceiling panels with pinholes and fissures located in the east showroom
contained 2% chrysotile (asbestos).
Brown adhesive associated with the wood wall paneling in the east showroom contained 5%
chrysotile.

Tan adhesive associated with the foam insulation in the east showroom contained 8%
chrysotile.
Black adhesive associated with the wood wall paneling in the east showroom contained 6%
chrysotile.
Troweled ceiling texture located in the basement of the east showroom contained 3%
Chrysotile.
9-inch by 9-inch brown floor tile located in the middle showroom contained 8% chrysotile;
the associated black felt mastic was non-detect.
9-inch by 9-inch black floor tile located in the train car (underneath the carpet) contained
12% chrysotile; the associated filler, tar paper, and brown/tan mastics were non-detect.
Residual air-o-cell pipe wrap located in the center wall of the middle showroom basement
contained 75% chrysotile.
12-inch by 12-inch green floor tile located in the upper west showroom contains 12%
chrysotile; the associated black/tan/brown mastics were non-detect.
12-inch by 12-inch tan floor tile located in the upper west showroom contains 12%
chrysotile; the associated black mastic was non-detect.
Sheet flooring with cobblestone pattern located in the upper west showroom bathroom
contained 35% chrysotile.
Pipe wrap around the 8-inch air duct pipe located in the upper west showroom basement
contained 40% chrysotile.
9-inch by 9-inch brown floor tile contained 6% chrysotile, its associated mastic was non-
detect.
Tar flashing (black), located in the west warehouse former roof line contained 15%
chrysotile.
Tar flashing (black), located on the roof contained 6% chrysotile.
Tar flashing (black with white surface) contained 10% chrysotile.

Table I, included in Appendix A, lists individual functional spaces of the building, the suspect materials
identified in that functional space, whether the suspect material was identified by analysis to be an
asbestos-containing material, an estimated amount of each suspect material for the functional space,
and includes condition, assessment categories and hazard ratings based on subjective observations made
by our representatives.
Table II, included in Appendix B, lists the homogenous material sample numbers, sample locations,
suspect material descriptions, and the analysis results for each sample. This table summarizes the results
from the Bulk Asbestos Laboratory Report, which is included in Appendix D. A sample location map is
attached in Appendix E.
Bulk asbestos analysis was conducted in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)
Method 40 CFR, Chapter 1, Part 763, Subpart F, and Appendix A (7/1/87 Edition).
D.2. Lead-Based Paint
Testing of limited building components for lead-based paint was accomplished utilizing a Niton XL X-Ray
Fluorescence (XRF) field portable analyzer, Model No. XLP303A - Serial No. 22287, equipped with a
40-milocurie CD-109 source - Serial No. TR2026, installed on December 29, 2011.
Analysis decision-making protocols were based on compliance with the United States (US) EPA and
Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), which consider any x-ray fluorescence (XRF) result of 1.0
milligram per square centimeter (mg/cm2) or greater to be “lead-based paint”.
Table III, included in Appendix D, lists the sample numbers, sample locations, component descriptions,
XRF field results, and the paint condition for each sample. No “lead-based paint” was detected on the
limited building components tested.
