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
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 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.

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.
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.
