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 discretion of the inspector. An assessment of friability and functional space conditions of the materials are also the inspector’s field responsibilities. 04/26/2018 3 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 interior of the Fifth Avenue condominium #7 is slated to have some major remodeling with new kitchen, new bathrooms, some wall changes and a new southwest bedroom bathroom installed where there is a current closet. Another southeast bathroom will be enlarged by taking out a small closet for that southeast master bedroom. Prior to submittal for a building permit, HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) was hired to perform the asbestos inspection. Please note that his report is not intended for the purpose 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 March 14, 2018. Suspect ACM/ACBM were identified and sampled. Those materials are the following: 1. Kitchen Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT): a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring at least two samples [samples 1-2: KIT-VCT-1,2]. The approximate size of the kitchen floor is less than 100 sf, but more than 80 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: 5% & 3% Chrysotile asbestos, samples 1 and 2 respectively. This flooring material is currently glued to the plywood subflooring underneath sheet vinyl and ceramic tile. This flooring material is classified as non-friable ACM. Since ACM sheet vinyl is glued over the top of this VCT, it shall require an asbestos abatement contractor to remove and dispose of it (see paragraph 2 directly below). 2. Kitchen Sheet Vinyl: a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring at least two samples [samples 3-4: KIT-SV-1,2]. The approximate size of the kitchen floor is less than 100 sf, but more than 80 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: 5% 04/26/2018 4 Chrysotile asbestos in sample 3; none detected in sample 4 (most likely due to the difficulty in extracting the sample from underneath the ceramic tile). This material is classified as friable ACM, and it shall require an asbestos abatement contractor to remove and dispose of this friable material. Currently in this functional space of the kitchen, it is underneath the ceramic kitchen floor tile and cannot be assessed on its condition. 3. Kitchen Sink Undercoating: a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring at least two samples [samples 5-6: KIT-STNLS-SNK-1,2]. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 4. Gypsum-Based Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring at least two samples [samples 7-8: JC 1 MECH and JC-2 SW CLST]. This material is on all the drywall joints of the ceiling and walls, estimated to be less than a 55-gallon drum. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 5. Gypsum Wallboard/Drywall System: a homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [sample 10-11: GYP-COMP-1,2]; these composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the entire condominium interior. The estimated surface area is more than more 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: < 1% Chrysotile asbestos in the joint compound of sample 10; NONE DETECTED in sample 11. Sample 10, taken from the mechanical closet, was composited with results of <0.25% of Chrysotile asbestos in the miscellaneous drywall system as a whole. This material is not classified as ACM and will not require an asbestos abatement. However, since there are trace amounts of asbestos, OSHA regulations shall apply in its removal and disposal. 6. Southeast Master Bathroom Vinyl Composition Tile (VCT): a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring at least two samples [samples 12-13: SE-BTH- VCT-1,2]. The approximate size of the bathroom floor is 60 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: 5% Chrysotile asbestos. This flooring material is currently glued to the plywood subflooring underneath ceramic tile. This flooring material is classified as non-friable ACM. It can be removed by a general contractor if not broken and pulverized, that is, if not rendered friable in the removal and disposal process. There were no other additional suspect asbestos building materials to sample which were slated to be disturbed, removed or disposed of in the changes mentioned above. A total of 13 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected and 13 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. See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #18008087. 04/26/2018 5 HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS • There is trace amounts of Chrysotile asbestos in the drywall system, but not at more than 1%. The drywall system will not require an asbestos abatement; however, because asbestos fibers were detected in one drywall composite sample, in joint compound, OSHA regulations shall apply to the contractor who removes and disposes of it. • There is asbestos in the vinyl composition tiles (VCT) of the kitchen and southeast master bathroom and the sheet vinyl flooring of the kitchen. The kitchen shall require an asbestos abatement due to the friability of the sheet vinyl flooring over the kitchen VCT. The southeast master bathroom VCT can be removed and disposed of by a general contractor, but it must remain non-friable, that is, not rendered friable during its removal and disposal process.
