F. Woods Construction, Inc. 430 E Hyman Ave, Suite 1 Aspen CO 81611 PROJECT PROPERTY ADDRESS: 430 East Hyman Avenue, Penthouse Suite, top floor flat, Aspen, Colorado 81611 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 access areas to a residential building), civic or industrial buildings, if more than 160 City of Aspen Received 8/7/17 Building Department 2 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 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. For the contractor to proceed with disturbance, demolition, restoration or remodel/renovation 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. CLIENT BACKGROUND: Greg Woods, via G. F. Woods Construction, Inc., hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) to perform an asbestos building inspection, bulk sampling and report for the top floor penthouse flat addressed above. This is a two-bedroom, two- bathroom condominium unit with two entries: one to the south, the main entry off the Hyman Avenue Mall and a rear public access stairwell to the north and east. The public access stairwell is exempt from this report. This report is limited to the interior of the Penthouse and the front or south Hyman Avenue Mall entrance/stairwell, interior to the living space of the penthouse. This report is for the purpose of a complete interior gut of the penthouse unit. VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS: An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on Tuesday morning, August 1, 2017 with Greg Woods of G. F. Woods Construction, Inc., present during the initial survey, before the inspection and bulk sample collection. Suspect ACM/ACBM (drywall materials and sheet vinyl flooring only) were identified and sampled. Those materials are the following: 1. A homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [C/W-OP-J-1,2]; these composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the penthouse interior suite with a surfacing material/texture known as “orange peel“. The estimated total surface area of drywall material 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). One core sample was collected from the living room and the second one from the north room. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 2. A homogeneous spray-applied surfacing material/texture (“orange peel”) [C/P- OP-T-1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. This surfacing material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the of the penthouse interior suite. 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, but in the event that more than 5,000 sf is accurate, 7 samples City of Aspen Received 8/7/17 Building Department 3 were taken to be sufficient for over that amount. These samples were randomly taken throughout the interior from walls and ceilings. The PLM analytical estimated results of all 7 samples: NONE DETECTED. 3. Sheet vinyl flooring in the north laundry room approximately 55 sf, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring at least one bulk sample. The PLM analytical estimated results of all 7 samples: NONE DETECTED. There were no other additional suspect asbestos building materials to sample which were slated to be demolished and disposed of in the total interior gut of the penthouse unit. A total of 10 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected and 10 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 10 samples analyzed. See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #17021372. HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS: There is NO asbestos in any of the suspect building materials slated to be demolished and disposed of in this penthouse interior gut and renovation project. NO asbestos abatement will be required for the front south entry stairwell up into the living room and the total penthouse interior. All building materials needing to be removed or disturbed can be dealt with without concerns for classified ACM. All building waste and debris can be disposed of in any landfill which accepts normal, non-hazardous building waste. Two different types of ceramic tiles were removed from two different bathrooms, but the mastic used was a yellow construction cement; it is not a suspect material.
