Re.: PCB Bulk Sampling @ 58 Parker Avenue Poughkeepsie, New York 12601
QuES&T Project #Q20-3106
Dear Mr. Tarbell,
Attached is the Pre-Demolition Inspection Report for the presence of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). Quality Environmental Solutions & Technologies Inc. (QuES&T) was retained by the PVE, LLC to collect representative, homogenous exterior Window Caulk(s). Sampling was limited to specific materials potentially affected by planned renovation/demolition/remodeling within seven (7) Unoccupied Buildings located at 58 Parker Avenue, Poughkeepsie NY 12601. The attached report summarizes the inspection protocol and sample results for your review.
Should you wish to discuss this matter further or require additional information concerning this transmittal, feel free to contact us at (845) 298-6031. QuES&T greatly appreciates the opportunity to assist PVE, LLC in the environmental remediation services area.
Sincerely,
James Klemm Field & Technical Services NYS/AHERA Inspector Cert. #AH 13-11486 NYS Mold Assessor #MA01616

SUMMARY OF INSPECTION ACTIVITES & FINDINGS
Mr. Anthony Perre (Cert #14-10534), of QuES&T, performed collection of a total of three (3) bulk samples on January 6th, 2020. All samples consisted of caulks potentially affected by future renovations. Sampling was performed in compliance with EPA protocols. Bulk samples were properly packaged and forwarded to York Analytical Laboratories, Inc., in Stratford, CT for analysis using method SW846-8082A. Copies of the analytical results are contained within attached appendices for review. A summation of samples collected and associated results are as follows:

Purpose and Results
This report contains the analytical data for the sample(s) identified on the attached chain-of-custody received in our laboratory
on January 09, 2020 and listed below. The project was identified as your project: Q20-3106 58 Parker Ave, Poughkeepsie,
NY.
The analyses were conducted utilizing appropriate EPA, Standard Methods, and ASTM methods as detailed in the data
summary tables.
All samples were received in proper condition meeting the customary acceptance requirements for environmental samples
except those indicated under the Sample and Analysis Qualifiers section of this report.
All analyses met the method and laboratory standard operating procedure requirements except as indicated by any data flags,
the meaning of which are explained in the Sample and Data Qualifiers Relating to This Work Order section of this report and
case narrative if applicable.
The results of the analyses, which are all reported on dry weight basis (soils) unless otherwise noted, are detailed in the
following pages.
Please contact Client Services at 203.325.1371 with any questions regarding this report.

1. The RLs and MDLs (Reporting Limit and Method Detection Limit respectively) reported are adjusted for any dilution necessary due to
the levels of target and/or non-target analytes and matrix interference. The RL(REPORTING LIMIT) is based upon the lowest
standard utilized for the calibration where applicable.
2. Samples are retained for a period of thirty days after submittal of report, unless other arrangements are made.
3. York's liability for the above data is limited to the dollar value paid to York for the referenced project .
4. This report shall not be reproduced without the written approval of York Analytical Laboratories , Inc.
5. All analyses conducted met method or Laboratory SOP requirements. See the Sample and Data Qualifiers Section for further information.
6. It is noted that no analyses reported herein were subcontracted to another laboratory, unless noted in the report.
7. This report reflects results that relate only to the samples submitted on the attached chain-of-custody form(s) received by York.
8. Analyses conducted at York Analytical Laboratories, Inc. Stratford, CT are indicated by NY Cert. No. 10854; those conducted at York
Analytical Laboratories, Inc., Richmond Hill, NY are indicated by NY Cert. No. 12058.

[TOC_1]Notes and Specific Data Flags[Sample and Data Qualifiers Relating to This Work Order
S-08 The recovery of this surrogate was outside of QC limits.
Relative Percent DifferenceRPD
Not reportedNR
NOT DETECTED - the analyte is not detected at the Reported to level (LOQ/RL or LOD/MDL)ND
Low Bias flag indicates that the recovery of the flagged analyte is below the laboratory or regulatory lower control limit. The data user should take note
that this analyte may be biased low but should evaluate multiple lines of evidence including the LCS and site-specific MS/MSD data to draw bias
conclusions. In cases where no site-specific MS/MSD was requested, only the LCS data can be used to evaluate such bias.
Low Bias
High Bias flag indicates that the recovery of the flagged analyte is above the laboratory or regulatory upper control limit. The data user should take
note that this analyte may be biased high but should evaluate multiple lines of evidence including the LCS and site-specific MS/MSD data to draw bias
conclusions. In cases where no site-specific MS/MSD was requested, only the LCS data can be used to evaluate such bias.
High Bias
Non-Dir. Non-dir. flag (Non-Directional Bias ) indicates that the Relative Percent Difference (RPD) (a measure of precision) among the MS and MSD data is
outside the laboratory or regulatory control limit. This alerts the data user where the MS and MSD are from site-specific samples that the RPD is high
due to either non-homogeneous distribution of target analyte between the MS/MSD or indicates poor reproducibility for other reasons.
Wet The data has been reported on an as-received (wet weight) basis
REPORTING LIMIT - the minimum reportable value based upon the lowest point in the analyte calibration curve.
METHOD DETECTION LIMIT - a statistically derived estimate of the minimum amount of a substance an analytical system can reliably detect with a
99% confidence that the concentration of the substance is greater than zero. This is based upon 40 CFR Part 136 Appendix B and applies only to EPA
600 and 200 series methods.
RL
MDL
If EPA SW-846 method 8270 is included herein it is noted that the target compound N-nitrosodiphenylamine (NDPA) decomposes in the gas chromatographic inlet
and cannot be separated from diphenylamine (DPA). These results could actually represent 100% DPA, 100% NDPA or some combination of the two. For this
reason, York reports the combined result for n-nitrosodiphenylamine and diphenylamine for either of these compounds as a combined concentration as
Diphenylamine.
If Total PCBs are detected and the target aroclors reported are "Not detected", the Total PCB value is reported due to the presence of either or both Aroclors 1262 and
1268 which are non-target aroclors for some regulatory lists.
2-chloroethylvinyl ether readily breaks down under acidic conditions. Samples that are acid preserved, including standards will exhibit breakdown. The data user
should take note.
Semi-Volatile and Volatile analyses are reported down to the LOD/MDL, with values between the LOD/MDL and the LOQ being "J" flagged as estimated results.
Certification for pH is no longer offered by NYDOH ELAP.
*
LOQ LIMIT OF QUANTITATION - the minimum concentration of a target analyte that can be reported within a specified degree of confidence . This is the
lowest point in an analyte calibration curve that has been subjected to all steps of the processing/analysis and verified to meet defined criteria. This is
based upon NELAC 2009 Standards and applies to all analyses.
LOD LIMIT OF DETECTION - a verified estimate of the minimum concentration of a substance in a given matrix that an analytical process can reliably
detect. This is based upon NELAC 2009 Standards and applies to all analyses conducted under the auspices of EPA SW-846.
Reported to This indicates that the data for a particular analysis is reported to either the LOD/MDL, or the LOQ/RL. In cases where the "Reported to" is located
above the LOD/MDL, any value between this and the LOQ represents an estimated value which is "J" flagged accordingly. This applies to volatile and
semi-volatile target compounds only.
Analyte is not certified or the state of the samples origination does not offer certification for the Analyte .
For analyses by EPA SW-846-8270D, the Limit of Quantitation (LOQ) reported for benzidine is based upon the lowest standard used for calibration and is not a
verified LOQ due to this compound's propensity for oxidative losses during extraction/concentration procedures and non-reproducible chromatographic performance.
