1.0- This was an inspection for suspect ACM (Asbestos Containing Material) for a remodel.
Element Environmental conducted a visible inspection for visible materials that would
be impacted during the remodel. This inspection was limited to the areas found in the
Description of the Sampling Area 7.0. Although sampling is destructive in nature, this
was a non-invasive inspection. It was of materials that were accessible. If other suspect
materials become visible/apparent during demolition or construction activities, work in
that area should be halted and more sampling/testing must take place, per Colorado
regulations. Any suspect materials that were not tested are to be assumed to contain
asbestos.
2.0- A limited bulk sampling of from all suspect materials was conducted in accordance with
Colorado State Requirements. The minimum number of samples per homogenous areas
are as follows:
2.1- Surfacing Materials- <1,000 sq.ft.- Minimum of 3 samples
1,000 sq.ft.- 5,000sq.ft.- Minimum of 5 samples
>5,000 sq.ft. Minimum of 7 samples
2.2- Miscellaneous materials- Minimum of 2 samples
2.3- Thermal Systems Insulation (TSI)- Minimum of 3 samples
3.0- The purpose of the inspection is to identify materials that are homogenous. A
homogeneous area is defined as one which shares suspect material, texture, color,
location, and/or apparent time of construction. The materials are segregated into
separate homogenous areas. The size is determined and then samples are taken. The
materials are touched to determine friability. Friable ACM is material that can be
crushed or reduced to powder by hand pressure. The samples are taken in a random
numerical sequence.
4.0- Josh Johnson, a Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment certified building
inspector, certification number: 18401, performed the inspection. Samples taken were
sent to CEI Labs in Cary, North Carolina. The samples were analyzed by PLM (Polarized
Light Microscopy) analysis. Per the CDPHE Regulation any sample that is found by a lab
to be trace, or <1% asbestos, is considered to be ACM material. This material would still
be a regulated material by CDPHE. The sample must have an additional “point count”
performed to be considered less than 1% and not be regulated by the CDPHE. The lab’s
documents with analyses and findings are found below.
