ASBESTOS VERIFICATION AND CHECKLIST
CITY OF ASPEN 130 S. GALENA ST | ASPEN, CO 81611
Asbestos is a known human carcinogen and is an airborne hazard. Once airborne, asbestos fibers can stay suspended in the air for days,
weeks, or even months before settling out of the air. The fibers can easily become airborne again from a minor disturbance like turning
on an air conditioner. Uncontrolled asbestos abatement projects or renovation projects that disturb asbestos may cause latent asbestos
hazards that could expose people to asbestos in the future, long after the renovation activity occurred. The airborne asbestos fiber
concentrations resulting from disturbances may result in a significant exposure to the current and future occupants of the home.
The 1989 “ban” on asbestos-containing materials is commonly misunderstood. In fact, in 1ϵϵ1 the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of appeals
vacated much of the so-called ͞Asbestos Ban and Phaseout Rule͟ and remanded it to the EPA. Thus, much of the original 1ϵ8ϵ EPA ban
on the U.S. manufacturing, importation, processing, or distribution in commerce of many asbestos-containing product categories was
set aside and DID EOT TAKE EFFECT. Therefore, ALL demolition, remodel or renovation projects must determine if disturbed material
above the trigger levels contains asbestos.

If the answer is YES to any of the above, you will need an asbestos test before you can receive a building and/
or demolition Ɖermit͘ zou will also need to Ɖroǀide Ɖlans indicatinŐ areas to be demolished and determine if a
O state demolition license is required͘ A state certified asbestos inspector must do this test and the test report
must be submitted with the building permit application. If the building has asbestos, a state certified asbestos
abatement firm must remove it. After removal, the abatement firm must provide a letter to the Building
Department stating that all the asbestos has been removed and that the air is clean. This letter must be received
BEFORE a permit will be issued. (See the local or statewide Yellow Pages, DexOnLine, or http͗//www.cdphe.state.
co.us/ap/asbestos/index.html for certified asbestos inspectors and abatement companies. ALWAYS ask for proof
of current state certification.)
If you are demolishing the building, you must submit a demolition permit app with the CDPHE in addition to the
Aspen permit app. This form may be found at https͗//www.colorado.gov/pacific/cdphe/asbestos-forms EOTE͗
A copy of this demolition permit app must be submitted with the initial building permit application. When the
CDPHE approves the app, their issued permit must be given to the Aspen Building Dept before we issue our
permit.
