SUMMARY
ECOS Environmental & Disaster Restoration (ECOS) was retained to conduct a limited asbestos
inspection at the above location in reference to determine if there is asbestos containing material
(ACM), in the building prior to remodel of the staircase. The inspection included all accessible building
materials, however, should any additional building materials be discovered during demolition, those
materials must be sampled and analyzed prior to continuing with the work. Three (3) samples were
collected of all suspect materials throughout the building, as listed in the Lab Data Table located on
Page 8 of this report.
INSPECTOR QUALIFICATIONS
This inspection was performed by Alison George, Colorado State Department of Public Health and
Environment Certification Number 24206.
SAMPLE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
Suspect material was sampled and delivered under a chain of custody for analysis to Aerobiology
Laboratory in Denver, CO. Samples were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy.
TRANSMITTAL OF BUILDING
One (1) copy of the results of the building/structure asbestos survey shall be immediately transmitted
by the building/structure owner as follows:
One copy of the completed asbestos survey shall be sent by the owner or their agent to the local
government entity charged with issuing a permit for such demolition, renovation, remodeling
or repair work under applicable State or local laws.
The completed asbestos survey shall be kept on the construction site with the asbestos
notification and variance, if required, throughout the duration of the asbestos project and
any associated demolition, renovation, remodeling or repair project.

BUILDING/STRUCTURE ASBESTOS SURVEY INFORMATION
The asbestos survey shall, at a minimum, identify and assess with due diligence, the locations,
quantities, friability and conditions of all building material types at the affected portion of the
building/structure. The certified asbestos inspector is responsible for identification and assessment of
all type within the affected portion of the building/structure.
All building materials visually assessed shall be assumed to be asbestos containing material (ACM),
unless bulk sampling is conducted as per standard EPA and OSHA accepted methodologies. The
subsequent analysis is performed by a laboratory that meets the requirements and the analyses satisfies
both CO STATE ELAP and federal requirements, including multi- layered sample analyses, to
document non-asbestos containing material.
The building/structure asbestos survey shall also include the building/structure name, address, the
building/structure owner’s name and address, the name and address of the owner's agent, the name of
the firm performing the asbestos survey and a copy of the firm’s current asbestos handling license, the
names of the certified inspector(s) performing the survey and a copy of the current asbestos handling
certificate for each inspector utilized, the dates of the asbestos survey, a listing of homogeneous areas
identifying which ones are ACM, all laboratory analysis reports for bulk samples collected, and copies
of the appropriate certifications for the laboratory used for analysis of samples taken during the
asbestos survey.
REMOVAL REQUIREMENT
If the building/structure asbestos survey finds that the portion of the building/structure to be
demolished, renovated, remodeled, or have repair work contains asbestos containing material (ACM),
which is impacted by the work, the owner or the owner’s agent shall conduct, or cause to have
conducted, asbestos removal performed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor in conformance
with all standards set forth.
All ACM impacted by the demolition, renovation, remodeling or repair project shall be removed, prior
to access or disturbance by other uncertified trades or personnel. No demolition, renovation,
remodeling or repair work shall be commenced by any owner or the owner’s agent prior to the
completion of the asbestos abatement in accordance with the notification requirements. For multi-
phased work, the access restriction for uncertified trades or personnel applies to each intermediate
portion of the entire project. Upon completion of the intermediate portion of the asbestos project, other
trades, or personnel may access that portion of the work site. For demolition projects that are exempt
from asbestos survey requirements due to being structurally unsound, the demolition is considered
an asbestos project.
All building/structure owners and asbestos abatement contractors on a demolition, renovation,
remodeling, or repair project shall inform all trades on the work site about the ACM at the work site.

UNIDENTIFIED AND UNASSESSED ASBESTOS
When any construction activity, such as demolition, remodeling, renovation or repair work, reveals
suspect ACM that has not been identified by the asbestos survey, or has not been identified by other
inspections as per current OSHA or EPA requirements, all activities shall cease in the area where
the suspect ACM is found. Unassessed suspect miscellaneous ACM shall be treated and handled as
ACM and assumed to be ACM, unless proven otherwise by standard EPA and OSHA accepted
methods. To document non-asbestos containing material, analysis must be performed by a laboratory
that meets the requirements of the DOH; and the analysis satisfies both CO STATE ELAP and federal
requirements.
ASBESTOS PROJECTS
An asbestos project is any work that involves the removal, encapsulation, enclosure, repair or
disturbance of friable or non-friable asbestos, or any handling of asbestos material that may result in
the release of asbestos fibers. For the purpose of compliance an asbestos project shall include any
disturbance of asbestos fibers, and the planning, asbestos survey, design, background air sampling,
inspection, air sampling and oversight of abatement work, cleanup, and the handling of all asbestos
material subject to abatement, as well as the supervising of such activities. An asbestos project starts
with Phase I when the planning, asbestos survey, and design work begins or is required to begin. The
project shall not be considered completed until Phase II D is complete. (See Table 1 below).

NVLAP Lab Code
This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the Federal Government.
All regulated asbestos minerals (i.e. chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite) were sought in every layer of each sample, but only those asbestos
minerals detected are listed. Amosite is the common name for the asbestiform variety of the minerals cummingtonite and grunerite. Crocidolite is the common name used for the
asbestiform variety of the mineral riebeckite.
Tile, vinyl, foam, plastic, and fine powder samples may contain asbestos fibers of such small diameter (< 0.25 microns in diameter) that these fibers cannot be detected by PLM.
For such samples, more sensitive analytical methods (e.g. TEM, SEM, and XRD) are recommended if greater certainty about asbestos content is required. Semi-quantitative bulk TEM
floor tile analysis is accepted under NESHAP regulations.
These results are submitted pursuant to Aerobiology Laboratory Associates, Inc.’s current terms and conditions of sale, including the company’s standard warranty and limitation
of liability provisions. No responsibility or liability is assumed for the manner in which the results are used or interpreted.
Unless notified in writing to return the samples covered by this report, Aerobiology Laboratory Associates, Inc. will store the samples for a minimum period of thirty (30) days
before discarding. A shipping and handling charge will be assessed for the return of any samples.
Aerobiology does not guarantee the results of tape lifts, microvacs, wipe, and/or debris samples. Accurate analysis cannot be performed due to particle size, media used, and/or
amount of material given. Analysis of these materials should be preformed by a TEM. A result of ND does not indicate that the sample area does not contain asbestos. It means the
analyst could not identify asbestos in the specific sample for the reasons listed above.
