CLIENT BACKGROUND
The Client, Schoola, Inc., doing business as Olivela, hired Rybak Architecture &
Development, P.C. to put together plans for a simple interior remodel of the commercial
retail space for a seasonal lease. Prior to disturbance of materials and prior to submitting
for the remodel permit, an asbestos inspection was required. Rybak Architecture &
Development, P.C. hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) to perform
the asbestos inspection, bulk sample collection and report of the findings of the
laboratory analysis. This inspection is limited to the scope of the project: wall
2
disturbances and overlayment of original flooring materials with newer flooring, possibly.
The ceiling, stairwell and basement are not planned to be disturbed, and therefore are not
part of this inspection and report.
Note: this report is not intended for estimating purposes. Measurements provided in this
report are for the sole purpose of determining numbers of samples required per suspect
material. Contractors or subcontractors will have to do their own surveys and inspections
for their own estimating.
VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS
An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on October 3, 2018 with David
Rybak of Rybak Architecture & Development, P.C. present during the inspection and
sampling. Suspect ACM/ACBM (drywall materials only) were identified and sampled.
Samples of each homogeneous surfacing materials were collected randomly—no two
samples were collected side-by-side, even though the area of drywall materials to be
demolished was a small area. Those materials collected and analyzed by PLM analysis
are the following:
1. Flat Finish Surfacing Material/Texture: a homogeneous trowel-applied
surfacing material/texture [samples 1-3: 427-F-1,2,3]. This surfacing
material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the retail space, but only the walls
were slated to be disturbed, and that, very limited with the demolition of only one
northeast corner display area. The estimated surface area is more than 10 sf, but
less than 1,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least three surfacing/texture material
samples. The EPA 600 method PLM analytical estimated results: NONE
DETECTED.
2. Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping compound
requiring at least two samples [samples 4-5: 427-JC-1,2]. The PLM analytical
estimated results: NONE DETECTED.
3. Gypsum Wallboard/Drywall System: a homogeneous taped and joint
compounded drywall system with gypsum wallboard panels, trowel-applied joint
compound and tape (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral
system) [sample 6: 427-J]; these composite layered taped and joint compounded
drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the retail space with a flat-finish
surfacing material/texture. The estimated surface area of impact, however, is very
limited to more than 10 sf, but less than 200 sf, requiring a minimum of at least a
single composite core sample of all drywall layers in addition to the two joint
compound samples above (“…number of samples sufficient to determine” …if
asbestos is present or not). The EPA 600 method PLM analytical estimated
results: NONE DETECTED.
There were no other additional suspect asbestos building materials to sample which were
slated to be disturbed, removed or disposed of in the very limited retail space remodel. A
total of 6 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected and 6 samples
were analyzed. The bulk samples were analyzed by EPA 600 PLM analytical methods by
3
a NVLAP accredited laboratory in accordance with Colorado State Regulation 8 for the
presence of asbestos mineral fibers. There is NO asbestos in all 6 samples analyzed.
See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #18035153.
HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS
• There is NO asbestos in any of the suspect building materials slated to be
impacted by the very limited remodel of this commercial retail space. NO
asbestos abatement will be required. All wall materials needing to be removed or
disposed of 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.
Sincerely Submitted,
Jim Baker
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:
4
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. See note below on OSHA.
The regulations require an absolute minimum of 3 samples (EPA suggests 9) per
homogenous suspect surfacing and TSI materials and an absolute minimum of 2 samples
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 with strict regulations regarding 10 sf or more of TSI or
friable surfacing materials, and therefore it does not matter what the quantity or
State 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.

'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.
Any NY ELAP samples that are subcontracted to another laboratory will display the name and ELAP Lab Identification number in the report page heading of those samples. The
