Mr Vac was hired to perform the water damage restoration and drying, which required disturbance, detachment, deconstruction, demolition and disposal (5D) of drywall materials, which are suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) or suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACBM). Prior to 5D, Mr Vac Air Duct & Carpet Cleaning, Inc., (hereinafter, Mr Vac), is required to have an asbestos inspection by a State of Colorado CDPHE certified asbestos inspector who will collect bulk samples of the suspect ACM/ACBM and have those samples analyzed at a certified laboratory for asbestos content. Mr Vac hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) to perform a limited asbestos inspection for all interior drywall materials, much of which will require 5D. VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on May 23, 2019 with Dylan Henderson of Mr Vac present during the initial survey, inspection and sample collecting. All suspect ACM/ACBM were identified by homogenous materials and sampled randomly respective to the scope of those materials slated for 5D. The suspect ACM/ACBM collected and analyzed by EPA 600 Method PLM analysis are the following: 1. Skip-Trowel Surfacing Texture, a homogeneous trowel-applied surfacing material/texture [samples 1-7: ST-1,2,3,4,5,6,7], collected randomly from the three floor levels of the townhome from each floor level. This surfacing material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the entire interior. The estimated impact area of 5D could be more than 5,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least seven surfacing/texture material samples. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 2. Drywall System Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping compound requiring at least two samples [samples 8-9: JC-1,2], collected from the twin-bedroom west ceiling/wall joint and west garage ceiling/wall joint, respectively. This material is applied to the entire interior drywall system. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 3. Drywall System, a homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [samples 10-11 : J-1,2], collected from the twin bedroom west wall/ceiling joint and west ceiling/wall garage, respectively. These composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the entire interior with a recent skip-trowel applied surfacing material/texture. The estimated impact area of 5D could be up to or more than 5,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least two composite core sample of all drywall layers along with the two joint compound samples in paragraph #2 above. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 07/11/2019 3 A total of 11 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected and 11 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 11 samples. See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #19020549. HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS • There is NO asbestos in any of the suspect building materials (drywall materials) slated for 5D inside the townhome. NO asbestos abatement will be required for any of the building materials. 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 07/11/2019 4 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. 07/11/2019 5 07/11/2019 5/24/2019 Hayes Microbial - R eport file:///tmp/amberjob_190205491.html 1/4 #19020549 Analysis Report prepared for Healt hSafe Inspec tions 390 Ap p le Drive Basalt, CO 81621 Ph o ne: (970) 920-2100 Modi 7 1 5 E Ho pkin s Ave. #1 Aspen, CO 8 1611 Collected: May 23, 2019 Receiv ed : May 24, 2019 Reported : May 24, 2019 We w ould like to thank you for trusting Hayes Microbial for your analytical needs!
