(KRA) to design and plan an interior gut and remodel of the east side of the duplex. KRA hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) to perform an unlimited interior asbestos inspection for the three-level townhome, excluding the garage. VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe onThursday, March 14, 2019 with Milo Stark of KRA present during the inspection and sample collecting. All interior 03/29/2019 2 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 (5D) Those materials collected and analyzed by EPA 600 Method PLM analysis are the following: 1. Skip-Trowel Texture, a homogeneous trowel-applied surfacing material/texture [samples 1-3: ST-1,2,3], collected from the basement family room ceiling, the under-stair closet and ejection pump closet. This surfacing material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the older, non-renovated sections of the house, including some basement bedroom areas. The estimated impact area of 5D is more than 10 sf, 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. Flat-Finish Texture, a homogeneous trowel-applied surfacing material/texture [samples 4-10: F-1,2,3,4,5,6,7], collected from the kitchen lower west wall, basement family room south wall, red basement bedroom closet, laundry room south wall, main entry by light switches, third-floor master closet north wall and guest master east wall, respectively. This surfacing material/texture is on ceilings and walls of all three floor levels (except where skip-trowel texture remains). The estimated impact area of 5D is more than 5,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least seven surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 3. Drywall System Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping compound requiring at least two samples [samples 11 -12: JC-1,2], collected from the ejection pump closet north wall and kitchen bar outside corner, respectively. This material is applied to the entire interior drywall system. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 4. Composite-Layered Drywall System, a homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [samples 13-14: J-1,2], collected from the basement red closet NE inside corner and main floor coat closet, respectively. These composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the interior with skip-trowel and flat-finish applied surfacing material/texture. The estimated impact area of 5D is more than 5,0000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least two composite core samples of all drywall layers in conjunction with the joint compound samples in paragraph 3 above. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. A total of 14 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected and 14 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 14 samples. See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #19010428. 03/29/2019 3 HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS • There is NO asbestos in any of the house interior suspect building materials slated for 5D or “gut”. NO asbestos abatement will be required for any of the interior building materials of this east duplex. All building waste and debris can be disposed of in any landfill which accepts normal, non-hazardous building waste. Sincerely Submitted, Jim Baker 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: 03/29/2019 4 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. 03/29/2019 HMC #19010428 contact@hayesmicrobial.com http://hayesmicrobial.com/ Analysis Report prepared for HealthSafe Inspections 390 Apple Drive Basalt, CO. 81621 Phone: 970-920-2100 Job Name: Paul Posten 728 W Bleeker St Aspen, CO 81611 Date Sampled: 03-14-2019 Date Analyzed: 03-19-2019 Report Date: 03-19-2019 EPA Laboratory ID# VA01419 NVLAP Lab Code: 500096-0 Asbestos License: 300435 License: #PH-0198 Page 1 of 5 03/29/2019 HMC #19010428 HealthSafe Inspections 390 Apple Drive Basalt, CO 81621 March 19, 2019 Client Job Number: Client Job Name:Paul Posten 728 W Bleeker St Aspen, CO 81611 Dear HealthSafe Inspections, We would like to thank you for trusting Hayes Microbial for your analytical needs.
