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) 05/11/2018 2 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 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. 05/11/2018 3 Note: County or City regulations may be more stringent. CLIENT BACKGROUND The commercial light industrial building addressed at 465 N Mill St in Aspen had roof leaks requiring emergency water mitigation and drying to at least three of the units (17, 18, 19). Pyramid Property Advisors responded to the tenants’ notification of roof leak into their leased spaces: Dwell Pro, Lift Up and Walter’s Carpet. Mr Vac was called by Pyramid Property Advisors to provide the water damage mitigation and restorative drying services. The emergency services required the removal of some ceiling drywall materials in all three units, especially extending out from a center east-west oriented steel support beam where most of the destructive water impacted the ceilings. Mr Vac could not remove the ceiling drywall materials without first having the materials tested for asbestos. Mr Vac hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) to perform the required asbestos inspection, testing and the writing of this report. This report is limited to the ceilings near and extending out from the center steel beam approximately 6’- 8’ in units 17, 18 and 19 only. No other bulk samples were collected than those associated with these three ceilings. Please note that 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 April 9, 2018 with Eli and Dillon from Mr Vac. Suspect ACM/ACBM (ceiling drywall materials only) were identified and sampled. Those materials are the following: 1. Unit #18 Skip-Trowel Surfacing Material/Texture: a homogeneous trowel-applied surfacing material/texture [samples 1-3: 18-ST-T-1,2,3]. The estimated surface area of impact is more than 160 sf, but less than 1,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least three surfacing/texture material samples. The EPA 600 PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED in samples 1 and 3; <1% Chrysotile asbestos in sample 2 taken from the center of the ceiling (1 from east beam area; 3 from west beam area). Sample 2 was EPA 400 Point Counted with exact results <0.25% Chrysotile asbestos (see p. 6 of Hayes lab report below). This material will not require asbestos abatement below 1% asbestos content; however, OSHA regulation shall apply while removing and disposing of this material as Class II Asbestos Work. 05/11/2018 4 2. Unit #18 Ceiling Drywall System Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping compound requiring at least two samples [samples 4- 5: 18-ST-JC-1,2]. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 3. Unit #18 Gypsum Wallboard/Drywall System: a homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [samples 6: 18-ST-J]. The estimated surface area of impact is more than 160 sf, but less than 1,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least a single composite core sample of all drywall layers for the purpose of composite results of the asbestos concentration in the drywall system as a whole. The PLM analytical estimated results: <1% Chrysotile asbestos in the joint compound with composite concentration of Chrysotile asbestos at <0.25%. This material will not require asbestos abatement below 1% asbestos content; however, OSHA regulation shall apply while removing and disposing of this material as Class II Asbestos Work. 4. Unit #17 Orange Peel Surfacing Material/Texture: a homogeneous spray-applied surfacing material/texture [samples 7-9: 17-OP-T-1,2,3]. The estimated surface area of impact is more than 160 sf, but less than 1,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least three surfacing/texture material samples. The EPA 600 PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED in sample 8 from center beam area; <1% Chrysotile asbestos in samples 7 and 9 taken from the east and west of the ceiling beam area, respectively. Samples 7 and 9 were EPA 400 Point Counted with exact results <0.25% Chrysotile asbestos (see p. 6 of Hayes lab report below). This material will not require asbestos abatement below 1% asbestos content; however, OSHA regulation shall apply while removing and disposing of this material as Class II Asbestos Work. 5. Unit #17 Ceiling Drywall System Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping compound requiring at least two samples [samples 10- 11: 17-OP-JC-1,2]. The PLM analytical estimated results: <1% Chrysotile asbestos in the joint compound. This material is part of the gypsum wallboard/drywall system, not independent of the drywall system, and is therefore with the composite results of <0.25% Chrysotile asbestos of sample #12 below. This miscellaneous material is not classified and regulated as ACM over 1% in the composite drywall system. 6. Unit #17 Gypsum Wallboard/Drywall System: a homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [samples 12: 17-OP-J]. The estimated surface area of impact is more than 160 sf, but less than 1,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least a single composite core sample of all drywall layers for the purpose of composite results of the asbestos concentration in the drywall system as a whole. The PLM analytical estimated results: <1% Chrysotile asbestos in the joint compound with composite concentration of Chrysotile asbestos at <0.25%. This material will not require asbestos abatement below 1% asbestos content; however, OSHA regulation shall apply while removing and disposing of this material as Class II Asbestos Work. 7. Unit #19 Orange Peel Surfacing Material/Texture: a homogeneous spray-applied surfacing material/texture [samples 13-15: 19-OP-T-1,2,3]. The estimated surface 05/11/2018 5 area of impact is more than 160 sf, but less than 1,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least three surfacing/texture material samples. The EPA 600 PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED in sample 13 from the east beam area; <1% Chrysotile asbestos in samples 14 and 15 taken from the center and west of the ceiling beam area, respectively. Samples 14 and 15 were EPA 400 Point Counted with exact results 0.50% Chrysotile asbestos in sample 14 and 0.25% Chrysotile asbestos in sample 15 (see p. 6 of Hayes lab report below). This material will not require asbestos abatement below 1% asbestos content; however, OSHA regulation shall apply while removing and disposing of this material as Class II Asbestos Work. 8. Unit #19 Ceiling Drywall System Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping compound requiring at least two samples [samples 16- 17: 19-OP-JC-1,2]. The PLM analytical estimated results: <1% Chrysotile asbestos in the joint compound. This material is part of the gypsum wallboard/drywall system, not independent of the drywall system, and is therefore with the composite results of <0.25% Chrysotile asbestos of sample #18 below. This miscellaneous material is not classified and regulated as ACM over 1% in the composite drywall system. 9. Unit #18 Gypsum Wallboard/Drywall System: a homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [sample 18: 19-OP-J]. The estimated surface area of impact is more than 160 sf, but less than 1,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least a single composite core sample of all drywall layers for the purpose of composite results of the asbestos concentration in the drywall system as a whole. The PLM analytical estimated results: <1% Chrysotile asbestos in the joint compound with composite concentration of Chrysotile asbestos at <0.25%. This material will not require asbestos abatement below 1% asbestos content; however, OSHA regulation shall apply while removing and disposing of this material as Class II Asbestos Work. There were no other additional suspect asbestos building materials to sample which were slated to be disturbed, removed or disposed of in the limited water-damaged ceiling drywall systems of units 17-19. A total of 18 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected and 18 samples were analyzed by EPA 600 PLM estimated methods. 5 of those 18 samples required additional exact EPA 400 Point Count analysis, required for surfacing material samples which have an estimated amount at <1%. The bulk samples were by a NVLAP accredited laboratory in accordance with Colorado State Regulation 8 for the presence of asbestos mineral fibers. See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #18010948. 05/11/2018 The report from Hayes shows that Sample 15 had 2% Chrysotile, pushing it above the 1% threshold and requiring asbestos abatement. 6 HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS There is Chrysotile asbestos in all three units 17, 18 and 19 ceilings. However, the amount of asbestos in the surfacing material and drywall composite samples is all below 1%, not triggering the requirement for a State-issued asbestos abatement permit or certified asbestos abatement contractor to remove. However, OSHA regulations must be adhered to as this removal is an OSHA Class II asbestos project. The contractor should be well-familiar with the OSHA regulations regarding Class II asbestos work. 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.
