Prior to 5D, Keiko 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 and have those samples analyzed at a certified laboratory for asbestos content. Keiko hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) via Sinclair Building Architecture Design, LTD to perform an unlimited asbestos inspection for the condo interior. VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS An inspection was conducted by Ben Baker of HealthSafe on Thursday, August 03, 2023, with the condo vacant during the initial survey, inspection and sample collecting. All suspect ACM were identified by homogenous materials and sampled randomly respective to the scope of those materials slated for 5D. The suspect ACM collected and analyzed by EPA 600 Method PLM analysis are the following: 1. Roller-Applied Surfacing Texture, a homogeneous surfacing material/texture [samples 1-5: RLR-1,2,3,4,5], collected randomly from the bedroom south closet south wall, laundry closet south wall, bathroom ceiling NW corner, living room SW corner, and entry closet north wall, respectively, using the AHERA random sampling grid # 15. This surfacing material/texture is friable and located on the ceilings and walls of the condo excluding the living room ceiling. The estimated impact area of 5D is more than 1,000 sf, but less than 5,000 sf (±2,712 sf), requiring a minimum of at least five 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 6-7: JC-1,2], collected from the laundry closet SW corner and entry closet NW corner, respectively. This material is friable and applied to the condo 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 8- 9: J-1,2], collected from the laundry closet SW corner and entry closet NW corner, respectively. These composite layered taped and joint compounded 12/11/2023 3 drywall materials are friable and located on the ceilings and walls of the condo interior with a roller-applied surfacing material/texture. The estimated impact area of 5D is more than 1,000 sf, but less than 5,000 sf (±2,712 sf), requiring a minimum of at least two composite core samples of all layers. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 4. Bathroom Grout, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 10-11: BGT-1,2], collected from the bathroom doorway and water closet doorway, respectively. This material is non-friable and located on the floor of the bathroom. The estimated impact area of 5D is ±55 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 5. Kitchen/Entry Grout, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 12-13: KGT-1,2], collected from the kitchen south end at the flooring transition and the spandrel closet doorway, respectively. This material is non-friable and located on the floor of the kitchen and entryway. The estimated impact area of 5D is ±110 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 6. Shower Grout, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 14-15: SGT-1,2], collected from the shower enclosure SW corner and SE corner, respectively. This material is non-friable and located in the bathroom shower enclosure. The estimated impact area of 5D is ±75 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 7. Thinset Mortar, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 16-17: TSM-1,2], collected from the kitchen south end at the flooring transition and the spandrel closet doorway, respectively. This material is non-friable and located on the floors of the bathroom, kitchen, and entryway. The estimated impact area of 5D is ±165 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 8. Ceramic Tile Mastic, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 18-19: MST-1,2], collected from the shower enclosure SW corner and SE corner, respectively. This material is non- friable and located on the walls of the shower enclosure. The estimated impact area of 5D is ±75 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 9. Laundry Closet Sheet Vinyl Flooring, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 20-21: SV-1,2], collected from the laundry closet SE corner and NE corner, respectively. This material is friable and located on the floor of the laundry closet. The estimated impact area of 5D is ±36 sf. The PLM analytical estimated results: 15% Chrysotile asbestos. A total of 21 suspect homogeneous ACM bulk samples were collected, and 21 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. See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #23031753_1. 12/11/2023 4 HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS • There is friable asbestos in the sheet vinyl flooring in the upper-level laundry closet that shall require a State-certified and State-permitted asbestos abatement contractor to abate. Sincerely Submitted, Ben Baker Main Level Upper Level 5 4 3 2 1 9 7 8 6 15 14 13 12 11 10 17 16 19 18 21 20 = SV 12/11/2023 5 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: 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. 12/11/2023 6 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. 12/11/2023 / #23031753 Analysis Report prepared for Healt hSafe Inspec tions 390 Ap p le DriveBasalt, CO 81621 Ph o ne: (970) 920-2100 Keiko Coug h linColumbine C o ndos #5801 E Hyman AveAspen, CO 8 1611 Collected: Aug u st 3, 2023Received: Augu st 4, 2023Reported: Augu st 10, 2023 We w ould like to thank you for trusting Hayes Microbial for your analytical needs!

PLM Analy s is All Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM) results include an inherent uncertainty of measurement ass ociated with estimating percentages by PLM. Materials with interfering matrix, low as bestos content, or small fiber size may require additional analysis via TEM Analysis. TEM Analy sis Analysis by TEM is capable of providing positive identification of as bestos type(s) and s emi-quantitation of asbes tos content. Definitions 'None Detected' - Below the detected reporting limit of 1% unles s point counting is performed, then the detected reporting limit is .25%. New York ELAP Per NY ELAP198.6 (NOB), TEM is the only reliable method to declare an N OB material as Non-As bestos Containing.
