CLIENT BACKGROUND
The Client, Mark & Rachel Schwartz, hired Janckila Construction, Inc. (hereinafter,
Janckila) as a consultant in the purchase of the above addressed single-family, non-
historical house with attached garage. During the inspection period, Janckila hired
HealthSafe Inspections, Inc. (hereinafter, HealthSafe) to perform a limited asbestos
inspection of the major drywall systems and major surfacing materials on those drywall
systems. At the time of inspection, there was no specific plan in place, and therefore at
the request of Janckila, there was a limitation on the locations of the inspection and
sampling areas selected. Those locations were the kitchen with orange peel texture, the
north-south ground-floor bedroom hallway with a flat-finish and the garage with a
sponge-applied surfacing material.
Note: this report is not intended for estimating purposes. Measurements provided in this
report are for the sole purpose of determining numbers of samples required per suspect
material. Contractors or subcontractors will have to do their own surveys and inspections
for their own estimating.
VISUAL INSPECTION & LABORATORY FINDINGS
An inspection was conducted by Jim Baker of HealthSafe on July 13, 2018 with Pete
Waaraniemi of Janckila present during the inspection and sampling. Limited interior
suspect ACM/ACBM (drywall materials only) were identified and sampled. Samples of
each homogeneous miscellaneous material, unless specified by the AHERA random
sampling grid for surfacing materials, were collected in opposite diagonal corners or
opposite sections or rooms; in the case of surfacing materials, samples were collected
randomly—considering different sections of walls and ceilings and different rooms or
locations on different floor levels where each homogeneous material was applied. No two
samples were collected next to the other. This inspector did his best to get a broad
representative of each homogeneous miscellaneous and surfacing material without bias of
locations. Those materials collected and analyzed by PLM analysis are the following:
1. Kitchen Orange Peel Surfacing Material/Texture: a homogeneous spray-
applied surfacing material/texture [samples 1-3: K-OP-T-1,2,3]. This surfacing
material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the kitchen. The estimated surface area
is more than 10 sf, but less than 1,000 sf (<300 sf), requiring a minimum of at
least three surfacing/texture material samples. The EPA 600 method PLM
analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED.
2. North-South Oriented Bedroom Hallway Flat-Finish Surfacing
Material/Texture: a homogeneous trowel-applied surfacing material/texture
[samples 4-6: HLWY-F-T-1,2,3]. This surfacing material/texture is on ceilings and
walls of the ground-floor bedroom hallway. The estimated surface area is more
than 10 sf, but less than 1,000 sf (<500 sf), requiring a minimum of at least three
11/20/2019
3
surfacing/texture material samples. The EPA 600 method PLM analytical
estimated results: NONE DETECTED.
3. Garage Sponge-Applied Surfacing Material/Texture: a homogeneous sponge-
applied surfacing material/texture [samples 7-9: SPNG-G-T-1,2,3]. This surfacing
material/texture is on ceilings and walls of the garage interior. The estimated
surface area is more than 10 sf, but less than 1,000 sf (<600 sf), requiring a
minimum of at least three surfacing/texture material samples. The EPA 600
method PLM analytical estimated results: NONE DETECTED.
4. Joint Compound: a homogeneous miscellaneous seam taping compound
requiring at least two samples [samples 10-11 : JC-1,2]. Sample 10 was collected
from the garage mechanical closet south wall and sample 11 was collected from
the southwest bedroom closet. The PLM analytical estimated results: NONE
DETECTED
5. Gypsum Wallboard/Drywall System: a homogeneous taped and joint
compounded drywall system with gypsum wallboard panels, trowel-applied joint
compound and tape (classified as a miscellaneous material as a complete integral
system) [samples 12-13: J-1,2]; these composite layered taped and joint
compounded drywall materials are on ceilings and walls of the house and garage.
The estimated surface area is more than 5,000 sf, requiring a minimum of at least
two composite core samples of all drywall layers (“…number of samples
sufficient to determine” …if asbestos is present or not). Sample 12 was taken
from the ground-floor middle bedroom closet and sample 13 from the north side
ceiling of the garage. The EPA 600 method PLM analytical estimated results:
NONE DETECTED.
There were no other additional suspect asbestos building materials (drywall materials
only) in this limited asbestos inspection. A total of 13 suspect homogeneous
ACM/ACBM bulk drywall materials samples were collected and 13 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 13 samples analyzed.
See supporting Hayes Microbial Consulting, Inc. data report #18022349.
HEALTHSAFE CONCLUSIONS
• There is NO asbestos in any of the suspect drywall building materials in this
limited asbestos inspection of the major drywall materials. NO asbestos
abatement would be required if the kitchen, north-south ground-floor bedroom
hallway or garage ceiling and walls were to be disturbed or impacted. These
specific drywall building materials, if disturbed, would not need abatement prior
to their demolition and disposal. The drywall materials waste could 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
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
11/20/2019
5
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.
