Box 483 Fort Collins, Colorado 80522 Re; Asbestos Survey Report Commercial Office Building 1304 South Shields Street Fort Collins, Colorado 80521 Dear Mr. Brown,, National Inspection Services� was retained by Colorado State University Research Foundation (CSURF) to perform an asbestos survey of the commercial office building located at 1304 South Shields Street in Fort Collins, Colorado. The subject building consists of approximately 3,239 square feet and was originally constructed in 1952 with a remodeling activity completed in 1964. The purpose of this survey was to collect samples of suspect asbestos-containing building materials associated with the structure and have the building material samples analyzed for asbestos content prior to potential renovation activities. � SAMPLING On August 2, 2013, Narional Inspection Services�completed an asbestos survey that included the collection of the following forty-five (45) samples of suspect asbestos- containing materials: Asbestos Survey Report-1304 South Shields Street Fort Collins,Colorada 80521 August 10,2013 Sample Material Location Quantity (Approx.Square Foota e I 7 White Paint�'Cexture � Entry Ceiling 700 D all 2 White Pain[/Texture/ South Building Portion Ceiling S00 D all 3 White Paint/Texture/ East-Central Lab Room Ceiling 250 D all 4 White Paint/Tex[ure/ Northeast Exam Room S Ceiling 300 D all 5 2'x4'La -In Ceilin Tile Central Hallwa Ceilin 6 2'x4'La -In Ceilin Tile Kitchen Ceilin 1.200 7 2'x4'La -In Ceilin Tile Nor[hwest Exam Room 2 Ceilin 8 Drywall CentralHallwayCeiling 1,200 Above La -In Ceilin Tile 9 Drywall Kitchen Ceiling Above La -In Ceilin Tile 10 White Pain[/Texture/ Northwest Exam Rooms 2 and 3 250 Dryv✓all Ceilings Above La -In Ceilin Tile 11 Carpet Mastic Material Under Multi-Colored Carpe[ 1,300 Yellow Southern Buildin Section 12 Carpet Mastic Material Under Multi-Colored Carpet 900 Gra Northern Buildin Sedion 13 1'xl'Sheet Vinyl/Mastic Kitchen /Bathroom Floor Tan To La er 200 14 Vinyl Floor Tile/Mastic Kitchen / Bathroom Floor Tan Middle La er 15 Sheet Vinyl/ Mastic(Tan) Kitchen/Bathroom Floor Bottom La er 16 Sheet Vinyl/Mastic Northeast Exam Room S Closet 10 White with S uares Floor Where Observed 17 Gold Paint/Texture/ Entry/Central Room Walls SSO D all 18 White Paint/Texture/ Entry/Central Room Walls 600 D all 19 White Paint/Texture/ Souehwest Office Area Walls 400 D all ZO White Paint/Texture/ Southeast Office Area Walls 500 D all 21 White Paint/Texture/ East-Central Lab Room Walls 250 D all 22 White Paint/Texture/ Kitchen Walls 400 D all 23 White Paint/Texture/ North Exam Room 1 Walls S00 D all 24 4Vhite Paint/Tex[ure/ North Exam Room 3 Walls 400 D all As6estos Survey Repor[-1304 South Shield�Street,Fort Collins,Colorado 80521 Augu.e(10,2013 Sample Material Location QuanUty (Approx.Square Foota e 25 White Paint�'Cexture� Nor[h fixarri Room 5 Walls 300 � � D all 26 White Paint/Texture/ North Hallway Walls 400 D all 27 Brick Mortar Material East-Central Lab Room Throughout West Former Exterior Wa0 28 Caulking Material East-CentralLab Room N/A West Former Exterior Window 29 Fiberglasslnsulation Attic Throughout Pink 30 Fibrous Insulation Gra Attic Throu hout 31 Brick Grout Ma[erial Attic-Chimne N A 32 Asphalt Roof Shingle Attic-Former Exterior Roof 500 Green Section 33 Tar/Felt Layer(Black) Attic-Former Exterior Roof S00 Section 34 FiberglassInsula[ion Attic Throughout White 35 Fiberglass Insulation Attic Throughout Yellow 36 Black Paint/Pressed Attic-Perimeter and Partition 400 , Woodboard Walls 37 White Paint A[tic-Remnan[Ex[erior Wood 100 Sidin 38 Asphalt Roof Shingle Roof Brown To La er 4,000 39 Asphalt Roof Shingle Roof Brown Middle La er 40 Fel[Layer(Black) Roof Bottom La er 41 Grout Ma[erial Exterior Rock Fa ade Areas N A 42 Grout Material Exterior Brick Fa ade Areas N A 43 EIFS Material Dark Tan Eaterior Sidin N A 44 Li ht Tan Paint Stucco EMerior Sidin N A 45 Tan Paint/Pressed Eacterior Siding(Base Areas) N/A Woodboard The samples were submitted to DCM Science Laboratory, Incorporated in Wheat Ridge, Colorado who is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). The samples were analyzed for asbestos content concentrations utilizing Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM). � Asbestns Survey Repnrt—]304 Soufh Shields Stree4 ForCCoAins,Colorada 80521 Augu.ct 10,2013 I` ASBESTOS CONCENTRATION GUIDELINES The State of Colorado, Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) considers a regulated asbestos-containing material as having at least 1% asbestos content. Regulated asbestos-containing materials consist of the following: (a) friable ' asbestos-containing material, (b) Category I non friable ACM that has become friable, (c) Category I non friable ACM that will be or has been subjected to sanding, grinding, cutting, or abrading or (d) Category II non friable ACM that has a high probability of becoming or has become crumbled,pulverized, or reduced to powder by the forces expected to act on the material in the course of demolition or renovation operations. Friable materials containing trace (less than 1%) concentrations of asbestos content must be further analyzed by point-count analysis to provide a quantitative result. The percent of asbestos contained in drywall and its associated materials, including mud and tape, may be determined based on a representative composite sampling program. Drywall finishing mud and joint compound frequently has been found to contain a significant amount of asbestos (i.e.greater than 1%),while the substrate it is applied over may or may not contain any asbestos. A demolirion/renovation project may impact the mud alone, such as could be the case during a sanding operation or the demolition/renovation project may impact the composite material (the mud and the substrate drywall it is applied over), such as would be the case in the demolition of the drywall. In the first case, if the mud contains greater than 1% asbestos, the project must be handled as an asbestos abatement project, subject to all the applicable requirements of the Air Pollution Control Division. In the second case, the project is considered to be an asbestos abatement project if the percent of asbestos in the combined mud/drywall composite material is greater than 1%. If, on the other hand, the mud contains i% or less of asbestos, the material is not considered to be an asbestos-containing material for purposes of the Air regulations and is not subject to the asbestos abatement requirements. Similarly, if the composite analysis indicates an asbestos content of 1% or less, even though the mud itself may be greater than 1%, the material is not considered to be an asbestos- containing material and does not fall under the asbestos abatement requirements of the Air regulations. In both of these cases, the removed materials may be disposed of as construction and demolirion debris. Adequate documentation must be kept to demonstrate the determination regarding the concentration of asbestos in the materials being disposed. REMODELING AND DEMOLITION GUIDELINES Removal or management of regulated asbestos-containing materials is required only if the material can be damaged or disturbed during remodeling, demolition, or burning activities. If the amount of asbestos-containing material to be disturbed exceeds the following trigger levels,then an asbestos permit will be required and an abatement contractor must remove the material. Asbestos Survey Report-1304 South Shields StreeS Fort Collins,Colorado 80521 August 10,2013 ■ With regard to single-family residential dwellings, the trigger levels are SO linear feet on pipes, 3Z square feet on other surfaces, or the volume equivalent of a 55-gallon drum. ■ With regard to all areas other than single-family residential dwe]lings, the trigger levels are 260 linear feet on pipes, 160 square feet on other surfaces, or the volume equivalent of a 55-gallon drum. A certified removal contractor (General Abatement Contractor) must remove asbestos-containing materials that are regulated or may become regulated before [hey are disturbed by renovation or demolition activities. A written notification to CDPHE, payment of a notification fee, and ten (10) working day waiting period is required before the removal (abatement) of regu]ated asbestos containing materials. According to the CDPHE, certain types of non-friable asbestos-containing materials (tar/asphalt-impregnated roofing, Floor tiles, etc.) may not be required to be removed prior to demolition. However, according to the CDPHE Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division's Asbestos-Contaminated Soil Guidance Document, asbestos-containing materials are prohibited to impact soils. Any asbestos-containing materials left in-place during demolition activities must be removed with no residual debris. CDPHE requires a demolition permit for all demolition activities (including burning), even if a building does not contain asbestos. CDPHE also requires a demolition permit for remodeling activities that involve the destruction or removal of a load-supporting structural member. CDPHE requires ten (10) business days to process the form and grant permission to begin demolition activities. A copy of the CDPHE Demolition Permit Application is included in the enc]osures section of this letter report. RF,SUG7'S Based on the results of this survey, the following building material was identified associated with the subject building that contained at least 1% asbestos content: Sample Material Location Quantlty Asbestos Friable Conditlon S.F. Content 15 Sheet Vinyl / Ki[chen / 200 79% No Unknown Mastic (Tan) Bathroom Floor (Bottom La er Ashestns Survey Repnrt-1304 Sauth Shields Street,Fnrt Colfins,Colorada 80511 August 1 Q 2013 Discussion of Trace Result: Joint compound material (drywall mud material) associated with the entry/central room drywall system walls contained a trace concentration of asbestos. As such, the non friable material is not considered to be an asbestos-containing material. Additionally, based on the result of the composite analysis, the percentage of asbestos content in the combined wall system (drywall,joint compound, tape, and paint) was determined to contain less than 1% asbestos content and is not considered to be an asbestos-containing material. ��'O?��l E�"��:��"1��'�o��:�� Based on the findings of this survey, National Inspection Services� recommends the following: ■ National Inspection Servrces� identified asbestos-containing sheet vinyl tile/mastic material located in the kitchen and bathroom flooring areas. This layer appeared to be located under two flooring layers. If this material will be disturbed during proposed future renovation activities, the asbestos- containing material will need to be abated by a certified removal contractor (General Abatement Contractor) prior to the renovation activities.

Asbestos Survey Report-1304 South Sflields Street,Fort Collins,Colorado 80521 August 10,2013 LIMITATIONS � � This survey was designed to provide the client with observable materials (materials which were readily accessible and visible) that were collected and analyzed for asbestos content This survey does not include materials that were covered or hidden by walls, structures, carpeting, multiple layers, texturing, etc.. Asbestos-containing materials, not specifically tested or idenrified in this survey, may exist in areas that were inaccessible or would require demolition or deconstruction activities to facilitate identification (i.e. behind covered walls and/or ceilings, inside areas of ductwork � and/or mechanical equipment components, etc.). If any additional suspect asbestos- containing materials not specifically tested or identified in this survey are identified during future demolition activities, testing of the newly identified materials will be required. Performance of this asbestos survey is intended to reduce, but not eliminate, uncertainty regarding the presence of asbestos-containing building materials.Narional [nspection Services� neither e�resses or implies a guarantee that all asbestos- containing materials were identified during this survey.Narional Inspection Services� used reasonable diligence consistent with industry standards to identify asbestos- containing materials during this survey. This report has been expressly prepared to deliver the results of a physical survey based on the collection of, and the laboratory analysis of, suspect asbestos samples. National Inspection Services� does not engage in the abatement of asbestos • containing materials, and as such will not dispense abatement methodology advice. Revisits to any subject property post-abatement, for the purpose of validating the abatement work of other parties, or for the preparation of state certification documents, will accrue additional fees. Recommendations made by National Inspection Services� are derived from general interpretations of CDPHE guidelines and the Regulation No. 8 Part B - Asbestos document. As such, National Inspection Services� recommends the client and/or the General Abatement Contractor consult with the CDPHE regarding specific abatement requirements and methodologies.
