CLIENT BACKGROUND & PLANS
The Clients, Warren & Kathy King, hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter,
HealthSafe) to perform a limited asbestos inspection for the removal/replacement of the
north patio door and the removal of the two bedroom closets in the second -floor west
bedrooms with plans to renovate/remodel the two bedrooms into one master suite.
VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS
An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on Thursday, June 27, 2019
with Warren Klug present during the inspection and sample collecting. 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 disturbance, detachment,
deconstruction, demolition and disposal (51)) Those materials collected and analyzed
by EPA 600 Method PLM analysis are the following:
I. Orange Peel Texture, a homogeneous spray -applied surfacing material/texture
[samples 1-3: El-OP-1,2,3], collected from the patio door north interior wall right
of the current door, the second -floor NW bedroom closet and the second -floor SW
bedroom north wall, respectively. This surfacing material/texture is applied on
walls of the drywall system throughout the condominium. The estimated impact
area of 5D is more than 10 at, but less than 1,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at
least three surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM analytical estimated
results: NONE DETECTED.
2. Drywall System Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping
compound requiring at least two samples [samples 4-5: EI-JC-1,21, collected
from the basement storage underneath the stairwell and the basement laundry
door header, respectively. This material is applied to the interior drywall system.
The PLM analytical estimated results: <1% Chrysotile asbestos in sample #4
and NONE DETECTED in sample #5.
3. Composite -Layered Drywall System, a homogeneous taped and joint
compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete
integral system) [samples 6-7: El-J-1,2], collected from the basement laundry
closet and the second -floor NW bedroom closet inside comer, respectively. These
composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall materials are on ceilings
and walls of the three -floor -level condominium with an orange peel spray -applied
surfacing material/texture. The estimated impact area of 5D is more than 10 sf,
but less than 1,000 A, requiring a minimum of at least two composite core
samples of all drywall layers. The PLM analytical estimated results: <I%
Chrysotile asbestos in the joint compound of both samples #6 and #7 with
composite results of <0.25%.
A total of 7 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected and 7
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 7
samples.
See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #19025288.
HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS
There is NO asbestos in the orange peel surfacing material/texture.
There is Chrysotile asbestos at trace levels below I % in the joint compound of the
drywall system.
The composite results of the concentration of asbestos in the drywall system
(none detected in orange peel texture) is <0.25% Chrysotile asbestos. This
material is not classified and regulated by the State of Colorado as ACM/ACBM
and will not require a State permitted asbestos abatement or a State certified
abatement contractor to remove and dispose of. However, because asbestos fibers
at trace amount is present, OSHA regulations shall apply to the contractor
removing and disposing of the drywall materials, as it is OSHA Class 11 Asbestos
Work. See EPA 40 CFR 763.121 Worker Protection Rule, OSHA 29 CFR
1910.134 Respirator Protection Standard, OSHA 29 CFR 19 10. 1001 General
Industry Standard and OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1101 Construction Standard
regulations when dealing with asbestos hazards.
