Sampling was completed of the interior finishes throughout the building that will be impacted during the construction. Samples D1, D2, D3 were determined to be positive for asbestos. INSPECTOR QUALIFICATIONS This inspection was performed by Katharina Ballard, Colorado State Department of Public Health and Environment Certification Number 22575. 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.

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.

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).
