PROPERTY ADDRESS of INSPECTION 634 West Hopkins Avenue, Aspen, Colorado 81611 2 CLIENT BACKGROUND & PLANS The Client, the West family, is planning a full interior renovation-remodel-demolition of the above referenced house with attached garage, which will have impacts of disturbance, detachment, deconstruction, demolition, and disposal (5D) of drywall, wallpaper and flooring building materials, of which some are suspect asbestos containing materials (ACM) or suspect asbestos containing building materials (ACBM). Prior to 5D, the West family 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. S2 Architects, LLC. hired HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) to perform an unlimited interior asbestos inspection for the house. VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS An inspection was conducted by Ben Baker of HealthSafe on Monday, April 19, 2021. 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. House Interior Orange Peel Surfacing Texture, a homogeneous spray-applied surfacing material/texture [samples 1-7: OP-1,2,3,4,5,6,7], collected randomly from the upper floor dining room east wall south corner, upper floor office closet south wall, main floor laundry room NW corner, main floor den south wall below the east edge of the window, main floor NE bedroom north wall east side, lower level east bedroom north wall east side and lower floor stairway landing NW corner, respectively, using the AHERA random sampling grid # 15. This surfacing material/texture is on the ceilings and walls of the house interior. 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. 2. House Interior Drywall System Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping compound requiring at least two samples [samples 8- 9: JC-1,2], collected from the main floor NE bedroom closet NW corner and lower floor east bedroom closet SE corner, respectively.

The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 5. Drywall System, a homogeneous taped and joint compounded drywall system (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral system) [samples 15-16: G-J-1,2], collected from the garage NE corner and SE corner above the wall cabinets, respectively. These composite layered taped and joint compounded drywall materials are on the ceilings and walls of the attached garage with a knockdown applied surfacing material/texture. The estimated impact area of 5D is more than 10 sf, but less than 1,000 sf (±900 sf), requiring a minimum of at least two composite core samples of all layers. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 6. Main Floor Hallway Wallpaper, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 17-18: WP1-1,2], collected from the main floor hallway east end upper north corner and upper south corner, respectively. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 7. Main Floor NE Bedroom Bathroom Wallpaper, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 19-20: WP2-1,2], collected from the main floor NE bedroom bathroom east wall under the vanity toe kick. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 8. Main Floor East Bathroom Wallpaper, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 21-22: WP3-1,2], collected from the main floor east bathroom west wall under the vanity toe kick. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 9. Main Floor SE Bunk Room Wallpaper, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 23-24: WP4-1,2], collected from the main floor SE bunk room NE corner and NW corner, respectively. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 10. Master Bathroom Wallpaper, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 25-26: WP5-1,2], collected from the master bathroom above the water closet door and above the main bathroom door, respectively. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 11. Upper Floor Office Wallpaper, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 27-28: WP6-1,2], collected from the upper floor office SE corner and west wall under the window, respectively. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED. 12. Laundry Room Sheet Vinyl, a homogeneous miscellaneous material requiring a minimum of at least two samples [samples 29-30: SV-1,2], collected from the main floor laundry room SE corner. The estimated impact area of 5D is ±100 sf. 4 The PLM analytical estimated results: 12% Chrysotile asbestos in the sheet vinyl with 4% Chrysotile asbestos in the adhesive. This material is friable and categorized as AHERA category 6: ACBM with potential for significant damage. This flooring SHALL REQUIRE a State-certified and permitted asbestos abatement contractor to abate. A total of 30 suspect homogeneous ACM/ACBM bulk samples were collected, and 30 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 #21013262_1. HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS • There is friable asbestos in the laundry room sheet vinyl that SHALL REQUIRE a State-certified and State-permitted asbestos abatement contractor to abate. • There is NO asbestos in any of the OTHER suspect building materials slated for 5D. NO asbestos abatement will be required for any of the building materials excluding the laundry room sheet vinyl. All building waste and debris excluding the laundry room sheet vinyl can be disposed of in any landfill which accepts normal, non-hazardous building waste.

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. 9 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. / #21013262 Analysis Report prepared for Healt hSafe Inspec tions 390 Ap p le DriveBasalt, CO 81621 Ph o ne: (970) 920-2100 W est634 W .
