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
12/22/2017
3
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 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. 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.
CLIENT BACKGROUND
The Client is planning to make some interior and exterior changes. The exterior will
involve removing and replacing the stucco cladding and the stone façade. The interior
changes will include dining/kitchen wall changes, the master bedroom/bathroom and
hallway area and a basement bathroom. Through the owner’s rep/mngr, Alfred LaFave,
Miller Roodell Architects, Ltd. hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter,
HealthSafe) to perform an asbestos inspection for the permitting process.
VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS
An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on December 11, 2017 with
Alfred LaFave present during the inspection. Suspect ACM/ACBM were identified and
sampled. Those materials are the following:
1. Interior Drywall System: A homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall
system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system)
[samples 1-2: PL-C/W-J-1,2]; these composite layered taped and joint
12/22/2017
4
compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls throughout the interior of
the house (samples taken from remodel/renovation locations) with a plaster
surfacing material/texture. The estimated surface area of demolition impact 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). The PLM analytical estimated results:
NONE DETECTED.
2. Plaster Ceiling-Wall Finish: A homogeneous trowel-applied plaster surfacing
material/texture [samples 3-7: PL-C/W-T-1,2,3,4,5]. This surfacing
material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the house interior (samples taken from
remodel/renovation locations). 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. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED.
3. Exterior Stucco: A homogeneous trowel-applied cementitious stucco surfacing
material [samples 8-10: X-STUC-1,2,3]. This surfacing material/texture is on the
north side of the house. The estimated surface area is more than 32 sf, but less
than 1,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least three surfacing/texture material
samples. The 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. 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 #17038661.
HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS
There is NO asbestos in any of the suspect building materials slated to be impacted by the
interior and exterior changes. NO asbestos abatement will be required. All building
materials needing to 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

All samples were received in acceptable condition unless otherwise noted on the report. The Report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or
endorsement by: AIHA, NIST, NVLAP NY ELAP, or any agency. The results relate only to the items tested. The results include an inherent uncertainty of measurement associated with
estimating percentages by polarized light microscopy. Measurement uncertainty data can be provided when requested. 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. Hayes Microbial Consulting reserves the right to dispose of all samples after a period of 60 days in compliance with state and federal guidelines.
