Date: 10/25/2016 Asbestos Sampling Report
To: Rothberg Development 118 N. 1st St. Aspen, CO
Mr. Rothberg,
On 10/08/2016, Rothberg Development requested an asbestos inspection for an interior
remodel at 118 N 1st St. Element Environmental conducted an asbestos inspection of suspect
asbestos containing materials which would be impacted during the remodel. If other suspect
materials become visible/apparent during demolition or construction activities, work in that
area should be halted and more sampling/testing must take place, per Colorado regulations.
Any suspect materials that were not tested are to be assumed to contain asbestos.
A limited bulk sampling of from all suspect materials was conducted in accordance with
Colorado State Requirements. Said requirements state: For surfacing materials, each
homogenous area of less than 1000 SF, a minimum of three samples must be collected
randomly. For each homogenous area of 1000-5000 SF, a minimum of five samples must be
collected. For areas larger than 5001 SF a minimum of seven samples must be collected,
respectively. For miscellaneous materials at least one sample must be taken. A homogeneous
area is defined as one which shares suspect material, texture, color, location, and/or apparent
time of construction.
Josh Johnson, a Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment certified building
inspector, certification number: 18401, performed the inspection. Samples taken were sent to
CEI Laboratory, for PLM (Polarized Light Microscopy) analysis. Attached are the lab’s
documents with analyses and findings.

DESCRIPTION OF SAMPLING AREA
118 N. St. was inspected for an interior remodel
CONCLUSIONS
The Plaster/Joint Compound on the walls and Ceiling was found to contain asbestos throughout the
house. This material becomes friable when it is removed. If this materials is to be disturbed or
removed, the material MUST be remediated in accordance with the CDPHE Regulation No. 8 by a
licensed abatement contractor.
The 9x9 Tile Mastic in the Bathroom, Entry, and Laundry Room contains asbestos. If it is to be
removed it must not be rendered friable. If it is to be rendered friable it must be remediated in
accordance with the CDPHE Regulation No. 8 by a licensed abatement contractor. It may be
demolished with the home. It must not be rendered friable during the demolition. You must consult
your landfill to see if they will accept it, and how it must be prepared. It may need to be segregated
from the other materials so that the landfill may accept it.
For residential projects over 32 sq.ft. of surfacing material, 50 linear feet of pipe insulation, or 55 gallon drum of
waste, and for commercial project with 160 sq.ft. of surfacing material, 260 lineal feet of pipe insulation, or a 55
gallon drum of waste a permit is required. The permit is through the CDPHE. Along with the permit a final air
clearance is required by a certified Air Monitoring Specialist. For projects over 3,000 sq.ft a Project Design and
Project Manager is required. Element Environmental is certified and can perform Final Clearances, Project Design,
and Project Management if required. All work performed MUST follow all EPA, State Regulation 8, and OSHA
regulations to protect the general public, the client, and the workers.
