SUMMARY
ECOS Environmental & Disaster Restoration (ECOS) was retained to conduct an asbestos inspection at
the above location in reference to determining if there is asbestos containing material (ACM), in
building materials that are located in the CHEF CLUB restaurant. The inspection was performed in
accordance with the Standards of Practice of the Colorado Regulation 8 Part B in effect at the time of this
Inspection. This inspection is not intended to be technically exhaustive. The inspection included all
accessible building materials in the CHEF CLUB restaurant, however, should any additional building
materials be discovered during demolition, those materials must be sampled and analyzed prior to
continuing with the work. Twelve (12) samples were collected of all suspect materials throughout the
CHEF CLUB restaurant, as listed in the Lab Data Table located on Page 9 of this report.
The Inspector has prepared this written asbestos Inspection Report for the sole use and benefit of the
client. The asbestos inspection report shall identify, report, and make recommendations for future
evaluation. Client agrees to read the entire asbestos inspection report when received and shall promptly
call the inspector with questions or concerns regarding the report. The use of this report and
information contained herein by others, in whole or in part, is not authorized without the written
mutual consent of the client and ECOS Environmental.
INSPECTOR QUALIFICATIONS
This inspection was performed by Yuri Rivera, Colorado State Department of Public Health and
Environment Certification Number 24317.
SAMPLE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
ECOS collected bulk samples of the homogenous materials in a random and representative manner, as
determined by the Inspector. A minimum of one composite core samples that included all layers within
the suspect material was obtained from each homogenous area. Samples of soft friable materials were
obtained by removing a small portion using wetting techniques. The sampler cleaned equipment
following collection of each sample to minimize cross-contamination between samples. The sampler
assumed that materials in inaccessible locations were similar to those in accessible locations, in order to
limit destruction during the sampling process. All samples were placed in sealed, labeled containers,
and the sample descriptions and locations were recorded. Samples were delivered under a chain of
custody for analysis to Aerobiology Laboratory in Denver, CO. Samples were analyzed by Polarized
Light Microscopy.
Performance of this asbestos inspection is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, uncertainty regarding
the presence of ACBM in connection with the above referenced property. No guarantee is expressed or
implied that all ACBM was identified in the inspection. Therefore, ECOS Environmental cannot be held
accountable for restrictions placed on us by the client, conditions or information that remained
unknown, or areas that were inaccessible at the time of the inspection.

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 building material
(ACBM), 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 ACBM, 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 building material
(ACBM), 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 ACBM 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
4
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 ACBM at the work site.
UNIDENTIFIED AND UNASSESSED ASBESTOS
When any construction activity, such as demolition, remodeling, renovation or repair work, reveals
suspect ACBM 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 ACBM is found. Unassessed suspect miscellaneous ACBM shall be treated and handled as
ACBM and assumed to be ACBM, 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).
