COLORADO & FEDERAL ASBESTOS REGULATIONS SUMMARY
Regulation No. 8 Part B – Asbestos of the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE), Air Quality Control Commission requires a State-certified
Asbestos Building Inspector to inspect and collect bulk samples of all suspect asbestos
containing materials (ACM) or suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACBM)
prior to their disturbance, removal or demolition and disposal. The suspect materials shall
be analyzed by a NVLAP accredited laboratory by polarized light microscopy (PLM)
using EPA 600 analytical method. A material which is estimated to contain more than 1%
asbestos is classified as ACM/ACBM and regulated by the State and Federal
governments. Any friable (able to crush or reduce to powder by finger pressure) asbestos
with trace amounts of asbestos fibers or less than 1% must be point-counted using EPA
400 analytical method to prove that it is indeed less than 1%; if not, it must be classified
as ACM/ACBM and shall be treated as a State and Federal regulated material. Any
friable asbestos containing material (greater than 1% asbestos concentration) or
ACM/ACBM that could be rendered friable during its removal or demolition and disposal
shall require an asbestos abatement by a certified asbestos abatement contractor to
remove and dispose of the material(s).
A Colorado State (CDPHE) issued asbestos abatement permit is required for the
following trigger levels of ACM/ACBM:
1. Residential buildings of four or fewer units--if more than 32 square feet of any
surface coverage (e.g., gypsum wallboard or drywall and associated applied surfacing
materials/textures, acoustic sprays, joint compounds, plaster, etc.), 50 feet of asbestos
covered or asbestos insulated pipe or any material which would fill a 55-gallon drum is
going to be disturbed, removed or disposed of, an asbestos abatement permit is required.
2. Residential complexes with more than four residential units, public access areas to a
residential building, commercial and retail buildings, public and civic buildings,
industrial buildings--if more than 160 square feet of surfacing materials, 260 linear feet
or more than 35 cubic feet (NESHAP) or 55-gallon drum (CDPHE) of suspect
ACM/ACBM is going to be disturbed, removed or disposed of, an asbestos abatement
permit is required under NESHAP and by the CDPHE.
The regulations require an absolute minimum of 3 samples (EPA suggests 9) per
homogenous suspect surfacing and TSI materials and an absolute minimum of 1 sample
of homogenous miscellaneous materials or any number of “samples sufficient to
determine whether a material is ACM” (Reg8.IV.D.3). More samples are required based
on surface area or volume. These are minimums; the asbestos building inspector has the
field responsibility to determine homogenous materials and the number of samples to
collect per material; more than the minimum number of samples may be necessary at the
discretion of the inspector. An assessment of friability and functional space conditions of
the materials are also the inspector’s field responsibilities.
OSHA compliance is required for all employers and employees no matter the
quantity of asbestos present, and therefore it does not matter what the quantity or
10/11/17

trigger levels are: all suspect ACM/ACBM shall be inspected and tested for asbestos
prior to their disturbance, removal and disposal for worker protection and safety.
See EPA 40 CFR 763.121 Worker Protection Rule, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 Respirator
Protection Standard, OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1001 General Industry Standard and OSHA 29
CFR 1926.1101 Construction Standard regulations when dealing with asbestos hazards.
Note: County or City regulations may be more stringent.
CLIENT BACKGROUND
Dexter West, LLC. hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) through
Forum PHI, LLC. to perform an asbestos building inspection, bulk sampling and report
for the interior of the two-level house with full basement and attached garage. The slated
remodel/renovation plan is for a complete and entire gut of the interior spaces of the
dwelling. This report is limited to all interior building materials. No exterior materials
were inspected or sampled.
VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS
An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on Monday morning,
September 18, 2017 with access provided by David Deep of Epic Home Management.
Suspect ACM/ACBM (drywall materials and VCT only) were identified and sampled.
Those materials are the following:
1. HOUSE INTERIOR, FLOORS 1 & 2 A homogeneous taped and joint
compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete
integral system) [samples 1-2; 614-ST-C/W-J-1,2]; these composite layered taped
and joint compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the main
floor, upper second floor and two stairwells with a thin skip-trowel surfacing
material/texture. The estimated surface area is more than 1,000 sf, but less than
5,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least two composite core samples of all
drywall layers, one from each floor level (“…number of samples sufficient to
determine” …if asbestos is present or not). The PLM analytical estimated results:
NONE DETECTED.
2. HOUSE INTERIOR, FLOORS 1 & 2 A homogeneous trowel-applied thin skip-
trowel surfacing material/texture [samples 3-7; 614-ST-C/W-T-1,2,3,4,5]. This
surfacing material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the two main floor levels and
stairwells. The estimated surface area is more than 1,000 sf, but less than 5,000 sf,
requiring a minimum of at least five surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM
analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED.
3. GARAGE & BASEMENT A homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall
system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system)
[samples 8-9; 614-HV-ST-C/W-J-1,2]; these composite layered taped and joint
compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the garage and
basement with a heavy skip-trowel surfacing material/texture. The estimated
10/11/17
4
surface area is more than 1,000 sf, but less than 5,000 sf, requiring a minimum of
at least two composite core samples of all drywall layers (“…number of samples
sufficient to determine” …if asbestos is present or not). The PLM analytical
estimated results: NONE DETECTED.
4. GARAGE & BASEMENT A homogeneous heavy trowel-applied skip-trowel
surfacing material/texture [614-HV-ST-C/W-T-1,2,3,4,5]. This surfacing
material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the garage and basement. The
estimated surface area is more than 1000 sf, but less than 5,000 sf, requiring a
minimum of at least five surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM analytical
estimated results: NONE DETECTED.
5. LAUNDRY ROOM A homogeneous gray vinyl composition tile (VCT) glued to
the concrete slab with a yellow mastic (not suspect) [sample 15; 614-LNDR-
VCT]. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED.
There were no other additional suspect asbestos building materials visible or accessible to
sample which were slated to be disturbed, removed or disposed of in the complete gut of
the house-garage interior. A total of 15 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples
were collected and 15 samples were analyzed. The bulk samples were analyzed by PLM
by a NVLAP accredited laboratory in accordance with Colorado State Regulation 8 for
the presence of asbestos mineral fibers. There is NO asbestos in all 15 samples analyzed.
See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #17027240.
HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS
There is NO asbestos in any of the suspect building materials slated to be impacted by the
remodel/renovation of all interior spaces. NO asbestos abatement will be required for the
interior gut of the house and garage. All building materials needing to be removed or
disturbed can be dealt with without the concerns for asbestos fibers. All building waste
and debris can be disposed of in any landfill which accepts normal, non-hazardous
building waste.
NOTE: no exterior materials were requested to be in this scope of work.
Sincerely Submitted,
Jim Baker

All samples were received in acceptable condition unless otherwise noted on the report. The Report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or
endorsement by: AIHA, NIST, NVLAP NY ELAP, or any agency. The results relate only to the items tested. The results include an inherent uncertainty of measurement associated with
estimating percentages by polarized light microscopy. Measurement uncertainty data can be provided when requested. None detected: Below the detected reporting limit of 1% unless
point counting is performed, then the detected, reporting limit is .25%. Per NY ELAP198.6 (NOB) TEM is the only reliable method to declare an NOB material as Non-Asbestos
Containing. Hayes Microbial Consulting reserves the right to dispose of all samples after a period of 60 days in compliance with state and federal guidelines.
