COLORADO ASBESTOS REGULATIONS SUMMARY:
Colorado State Regulation 8 requires a State-certified Asbestos Building Inspector to
inspect and sample for suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) or suspect asbestos
containing building materials (ACBM) prior to the disturbance, removal or demolition.
In 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—if
these materials are going to be disturbed or removed—an asbestos inspection is required
by a state certified asbestos building inspector. For buildings with more than four
residential units (considered public), including commercial, public (including public
access areas to a residential building), civic or industrial buildings, if more than 160
square feet of surfacing materials, 260 linear feet or more than 35 cubic feet of suspect
ACM/ACBM is going to be disturbed, an asbestos inspection is required under NESHAP.

County or City regulations may be more stringent. 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. For the
contractor to proceed with disturbance, demolition, restoration or remodel/renovation the
suspect materials have to be sampled and analyzed by a NVLAP accredited laboratory by
polarized light microscopy (PLM) methods. OSHA compliance is required for all
employers/employees no matter the quantity of asbestos present.
CLIENT BACKGROUND:
Forum Phi, LLC. hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) on behalf of
the property owner and Client, Rob Andy, to perform an asbestos building inspection,
bulk sampling and report for a complete interior gut of the townhome down to the
structural framing and joists. This report includes a complete demolition of the interior
finishing materials and it excludes all exterior materials.
VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS:
An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on Thursday, March 16, 2017
with Ryan Lee of Forum Phi, LLC. present during the initial survey prior to the
inspection. Suspect ACM/ACBM (drywall and sheet vinyl flooring materials only)
were identified and sampled. Those materials are the following:
1. A kitchen sheet vinyl flooring [KIT-V], a homogeneous miscellaneous material
requiring at least one sample. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE
DETECTED.
2. A homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a
miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [FLT-J-1,2,3 and ST-FLR-
1-STRS-J]; these composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall
materials are on ceilings and walls of the entire townhome interior with and
without a surfacing material/texture (in certain portions, a skip-trowel was applied
over the original flat, non-textured gypsum wallboard or drywall system. The
estimated surface area is more than 3,000 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). One sample
was taken from the ground floor living-dining area, the twin bedroom closet and
the second-floor laundry; the sample with skip-trowel texture was taken from the
seating area on the second floor near the round window. The PLM analytical
estimated results: NONE DETECTED.
3. A homogeneous trowel-applied surfacing material/texture (“skip-trowel”) [ST-
FLR-1-STRS-T-1,2,3,4,5]. This surfacing material/texture is on ceilings and
walls of the 1st ground floor (with the exception of the twin NE bedroom an
closets) and the stairwell. The estimated surface area is more than 1,000 sf, but

less than 3,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least five 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 in this interior gut remodel/renovation. 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 #17006953.
HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS:
There is NO asbestos in any of the suspect building materials slated to be impacted by the
interior gut remodel/renovation project. 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.

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.
