SUMMARY Environmental&Disaster Restoration,Inc.
ECOS Environmental & Disaster Restoration (ECOS) was retained to conduct an asbestos
inspection at the above location to determine if asbestos is present prior to interior remodel of
store located at the above-mentioned address. The inspection included all accessible building
materials however, should additional building materials be discovered during the demolition,
those materials must be sampled and analyzed prior to continuing with the work. Three (3)
samples were collected of all suspect materials identified throughout the building, as listed in
the Lab Data table located on page 8 of this report. ECOS collected bulk samples of the
homogenous materials in a random and representative manner, as determined by the
Inspector. A minimum of one composite core samples that included all layers within the
suspect material was obtained from each homogenous area. Samples of soft friable materials
were obtained by removing a small portion using wetting techniques. The sampler cleaned
equipment following collection of each sample to minimize cross-contamination between
samples. The sampler assumed that materials in inaccessible locations were similar to those in
accessible locations, in order to limit destruction during the sampling process. All samples
were placed in sealed, labeled containers, and the sample descriptions and locations were
recorded. Samples were delivered under a chain of custody for analysis to Aerobiology
Laboratory in Denver, CO. Samples were analyzed by Polarized Light Microscopy.
INSPECTOR QUALIFICATIONS
This inspection was performed by Brian Guzman, Colorado State Department of Public Health
and Environment Certification Number 21876.
SAMPLE ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
Suspect material was sampled and delivered under a chain of custody for analysis to
Aerobiology Laboratory in Golden, CO. Samples were analyzed by Polarized Light
Microscopy.

• The completed asbestos survey shall be kept on the constructiioni(sittte witht hlE -storation,inc.
asbestos notification and variance, if required, throughout the duration of the
asbestos project and any associated demolition, renovation, remodeling or repair
project.
The asbestos survey shall, at a minimum, identify and assess with due diligence, the locations,
quantities, friability and conditions of all building material types at the affected portion of the
building/structure. The certified asbestos inspector is responsible for identification and
assessment of all type within the affected portion of the building/structure.
All building materials visually assessed shall be assumed to be asbestos containing material
(ACM), unless bulk sampling is conducted as per standard EPA and OSHA accepted
methodologies. The subsequent analysis is performed by a laboratory that meets the
requirements and the analyses satisfies both CO STATE ELAP and federal requirements,
including multi-layered sample analyses, to document non-asbestos containing material.
The building/structure asbestos survey shall also include the building/structure name,
address, the building/structure owner's name and address, the name and address of the
owner's agent, the name of the firm performing the asbestos survey and a copy of the firm s
current asbestos handling license, the names of the certified inspector(s) performing the survey
and a copy of the current asbestos handling certificate for each inspector utilized, the dates of
the asbestos survey, a listing of homogeneous areas identifying which ones are ACM, all
laboratory analysis reports for bulk samples collected, and copies of the appropriate
certifications for the laboratory used for analysis of samples taken during the asbestos survey.
REMOVAL REQUIREMENT
If the building/structure asbestos survey finds that the portion of the building/structure to be
demolished, renovated, remodeled, or have repair work contains asbestos containing material
(ACM), which is impacted by the work, the owner or the owner's agent shall conduct, or cause
to have conducted, asbestos removal performed by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor in
conformance with all standards set forth.
All ACM impacted by the demolition, renovation, remodeling or repair project shall be
removed, prior to access or disturbance by other uncertified trades or personnel. No
demolition, renovation, remodeling or repair work shall be commenced by any owner or the
owner's agent prior to the completion of the asbestos abatement in accordance with the
notification requirements. For multi-phased work, the access restriction for uncertified trades
or personnel applies to each intermediate portion of the entire project. Upon completion of the
intermediate portion of the asbestos project, other trades, or personnel may access that portion
of the work site. For demolition projects that are exempt from asbestos survey
requirements due to being structurally unsound, the demolition is considered an asbestos
project.

ACM at the work site.
UNIDENTIFIED AND UNASSESSED ASBESTOS
When any construction activity, such as demolition, remodeling,renovation or repair work,
reveals suspect ACM that has not been identified by the asbestos survey, or has not been
identified by other inspections as per current OSHA or EPA requirements, all activities
shall cease in the area where the suspect ACM is found. Unassessed suspect miscellaneous
ACM shall be treated and handled as ACM and assumed to be ACM, unless proven otherwise
by standard EPA and OSHA accepted methods. To document non-asbestos containing
material, analysis must be performed by a laboratory that meets the requirements of the DOH;
and the analysis satisfies both CO STATE ELAP and federal requirements.
ASBESTOS PROJECTS
An asbestos project is any work that involves the removal, encapsulation, enclosure, repair or
disturbance of friable or non-friable asbestos, or any handling of asbestos material that may
result in the release of asbestos fibers. For the purpose of compliance an asbestos project shall
include any disturbance of asbestos fibers, and the planning, asbestos survey, design,
background air sampling, inspection, air sampling and oversight of abatement work, cleanup,
and the handling of all asbestos material subject to abatement, as well as the supervising of
such activities. An asbestos project starts with Phase I when the planning, asbestos survey, and
design work begins or is required to begin. The project shall not be considered completed until
Phase II D is complete. (See Table 1 below).

General Notes
♦ ND indicates no asbestos was detected; the method detection limit is 1 %.
♦ Trace or "<1" indicates asbestos was identified in the sample, but the concentration is less than 1%.
♦ All regulated asbestos minerals (i.e. chrysotile, amosite, crocidolite, anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite) were sought in every layer of each sample, but only those asbestos
minerals detected are listed. Amosite is the common name for the asbestiform variety of the minerals cummingtonite and grunerite. Crocidolite is the common name used for the
asbestiform variety of the mineral riebeckite.
♦ Tile, vinyl, foam, plastic, and fine powder samples may contain asbestos fibers of such small diameter (< 0.25 microns in diameter) that these fibers cannot be detected by PLM.
For such samples, more sensitive analytical methods (e.g. TEM, SEM, and XRD) are recommended if greater certainty about asbestos content is required. Semi-quantitative bulk TEM
floor tile analysis is accepted under NESHAP regulations.
♦ These results are submitted pursuant to Aerobiology Laboratory Associates, Inc.'s current terms and conditions of sale, including the company's standard warranty and limitation
of liability provisions. No responsibility or liability is assumed for the manner in which the results are used or interpreted.
♦ Unless notified in writing to return the samples covered by this report, Aerobiology Laboratory Associates, Inc. will store the samples for a minimum period of thirty (30) days
before discarding. A shipping and handling charge will be assessed for the return of any samples.
♦ Aerobiology does not guarantee the results of tape lifts, microvacs, wipe, and/or debris samples. Accurate analysis cannot be performed due to particle size, media used, and/or
amount of material given. Analysis of these materials should be preformed by a TEM. A result of ND does not indicate that the sample area does not contain asbestos. It means the
analyst could not identify asbestos in the specific sample for the reasons listed above.
Notes Required by NVLAP
♦ This report must not be used by the client to claim product certification, approval, or endorsement by NVLAP, NIST, or any agency of the Federal Government.
♦ This test report relates only to the items tested or calibrated.
♦ This report is not valid unless it bears the name of a NVLAP-approved signatory.
