(hereinafter, HealthSafe) to perform a limited asbestos inspection for the basement commercial space where the previous Grotto Night Club used to be. The general changes are the complete walls removal of the east wall separating the night club from the hallway, the south wall of the bar and office space, the stairwell-elevator area door changes and the removal of all interior fixtures such as the stage, steps, mirror framed sitting locations, etc. The changes will also include the removal and relocation of the walk-in cooler. Luxury vinyl plank and office VCT tiles will be removed and replaced with new floor coverings. VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on Tuesday, November 13, 2018 in the late afternoon with Willis Buckingham of Regan Construction, Inc. present during the initial survey, inspection and sample collecting. Architectural plans were reviewed onsite for the slated changes. All suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) or suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) were identified by their respective homogenous materials reflecting the same in consistency, appearance and application/installation date(s) and sampled randomly respective to the scope of those materials slated for disturbed-demolished- disposed (DDD). Those materials collected and analyzed by EPA 600 Method PLM analysis are the following: 1. Luxury Vinyl Plank Floor Covering, a homogeneous miscellaneous flooring material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 1-2: LVP-1,2], collected from the north closet, north wall and south hallway near bar entrance, respectively. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 2. South Office Vinyl Composition Tiles, a homogeneous miscellaneous flooring material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 3-4: VCT-1,2], collected from the office west end and office east end, respectively. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 3. South Office Ceiling Tiles, a homogeneous miscellaneous ceiling material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 5-6: CT-1,2], collected from the northeast ceiling and northwest ceiling area, respectively. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 4. Flat-Finish Surfacing Material/Texture, a homogeneous trowel-applied surfacing material/texture [samples 7-11: F-1,2,3,4,5], collected from the rounded south hallway corner, the nightclub stage light soffit, nightclub north entrance doorway south side, the east wall of the stairwell and office east wall, respectively, using the AHERA random sampling grid # 9 pointing north. This surfacing material/texture is on walls and some ceilings or soffits of the nightclub- bar, office, hallway, stairwell, etc. The estimated impact area of DDD is more than 1,000 sf, but less than 5,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least five 3 surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 5. Drywall System Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping compound requiring at least two samples [samples 12-13: JC-1,2], collected from the office northeast inside corner and south side of the north hallway closet, respectively. This material is applied to the homogeneous drywall system. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 6. Commercial Drywall System, a homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [samples 14-15: J-1,2], collected from the southeast inside corner of the office and the north hallway rounded corner where it meets the inside corner of the hallway near the north nightclub entry door, respectively. These composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the nightclub commercial space with a flat-finish applied surfacing material/texture. The estimated impact area of DDD 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. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. A total of 15 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected and 15 samples were analyzed. The bulk samples were analyzed by EPA 600 PLM analytical methods 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 15 samples. See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #18042857. HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS • There is NO asbestos in any of the suspect building materials of the 204 nightclub commercial suite slated for DDD and renovations. NO asbestos abatement will be required for any of the building materials impacted by the slated diagrams of demolition and renovation. All building materials that will be removed or disturbed 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 4 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: 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 5 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.
