(hereinafter, HealthSafe) to perform the required asbestos building inspection, bulk sampling and reporting for the above addressed single-family, four-level house with attached garage. An asbestos inspection was requested during the inspection period, as the Client is under contract to purchase the property. VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS: An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on Tuesday, January 10, 2017. Suspect ACM/ACBM were identified and sampled. Those materials are the following: 1. An original homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [975-OP-C/W-J-1,2,3]; these composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the house interior, garage and porch/deck ceilings with the house interior having a surfacing material/texture known as “orange peel“. The kitchen appeared to be remodeled at a later date, and it is identified in paragraphs 2 3 and 4 below. The estimated surface area is more than 5,000 sf requiring a minimum of at least three composite core samples of all drywall layers from different floor levels of the house (“…number of samples sufficient to determine” …if asbestos is present or not). The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 2. An original homogeneous spray-applied surfacing material/texture (“orange peel”) [975-OP-C/W-T-1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. This surfacing material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the entire house interior—with the exception of the kitchen (see paragraphs 3 and 4). The estimated surface area is more than 5,000 sf requiring a minimum of at least seven surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED in samples 1-5. Samples 6 and 7 taken in the uppermost floor had a trace amount of Chrysotile asbestos fibers estimated at less than, <1.0% Chrysotile asbestos; these two samples were point counted to be less than, <0.25% each. This will not require asbestos abatement. OSHA regulations do apply if this material is disturbed or removed and disposed of. 3. A homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [975-KIT-J-1,2]; these composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the kithen with a surfacing material/texture known as “orange peel“. The estimated surface area is more than 32 sf, but less than 1,000 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. A homogeneous spray-applied surfacing material/texture (“orange peel”) [975- KIT-OP-T-1,2,3]. This surfacing material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the kitchen. The estimated surface area is more than 32 sf, but less than 1,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least three surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 5. An exterior homogeneous trowel-applied surfacing material/texture over concrete block and concrete (“stucco”) [975-STUC-T-1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. This surfacing material/texture is on a large portion of the exterior facade. The estimated surface area is more than 5,000 requiring a minimum of at least 7 surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. There were no other additional suspect asbestos building materials to sample which were observed, including mechanical areas and roof. A total of 22 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected and 22 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 22 samples analyzed. See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #17000674. 3 HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS: There is NO asbestos in 20 of the 22 samples collected and analyzed; the only exception is two orange peel texture samples taken from the uppermost section of the house which were point counted at less than 0.25% Chrysotile asbestos (<0.25%). This is a trace amount which is not regulated by the State of Colorado (any material over 1.0% asbestos is regulated by the State). NO asbestos abatement will be required. All building materials needing to be removed or disturbed in any remodel or upgrade can be dealt with without an abatement contractor. All building waste and debris can be disposed of in any landfill which accepts normal, non-hazardous building waste. OSHA regulations will apply for a contractor and his workers if the uppermost floor area (upper stairwell, main house entry and bedrooms) are impacted with any disturbance, removal or disposal of this texture material. 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. Sincerely Submitted, Jim Baker COLORADO ASBESTOS REGULATIONS SUMMARY: Colorado State Regulation 8 requires a State certified Asbestos Building Inspector to inspect and sample for suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) or suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) prior to the disturbance, removal or demolition. In 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—if these materials are going to be disturbed or removed—an asbestos inspection is required by a state certified asbestos building inspector. For buildings with more than four residential units (considered public), including commercial, public (including public 4 access areas to a residential building), civic or industrial buildings, if more than 160 square feet of surfacing materials, 260 linear feet or more than 35 cubic feet of suspect ACM/ACBM is going to be disturbed, an asbestos inspection is required under NESHAP. County or City regulations may be more stringent. The regulations require an absolute minimum of 3 samples (EPA suggests 9) per homogeneous suspect surfacing and TSI materials and an absolute minimum of 1 sample of homogeneous 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. In order for the contractor to proceed with restoration, renovation or demolition the suspect materials have to be sampled and analyzed by a NVLAP accredited laboratory by polarized light microscopy (PLM) methods. OSHA compliance is required for all employers/employees no matter the quantity of asbestos present.
